"Okay." Lan Xuanyu replied and returned to his simulation pod. The pod door closed, and he closed his eyes, trying his best to adjust his fluctuating state of mind.
A familiar feeling came over him, and his surroundings became clear once again. When Lan Xuanyu opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that he had returned to the Great Star Dou Forest.
The sounds of insects and birds could be heard, as well as the fragrance of plants and the moist smell of soil.
Without any warning, he had returned just like that.
Lan Xuanyu looked at his surroundings, and immediately chose a large tree to climb up, hiding his body in the dense foliage. As he observed his surroundings, he tried his best to calm himself down.
What was the purpose of this examination? No matter how smart he was, without any hints, he had no way of guessing.
"Survive for twenty-four hours in the Great Star Dou Forest. You can pass the test. "At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
There was finally a hint, and this made Lan Xuanyu heave a sigh of relief. Having a hint was much better than fumbling around on his own.
Survive for twenty-four hours? It seemed that he was very likely in the deeper parts of the Great Star Dou Forest.
There didn't seem to be any soul beasts around, so he was just wasting time. Right now, it wasn't easy to determine which direction was further away from the core region. Everything could only be taken one step at a time.
Thinking up to this point, Lan Xuanyu didn't move, and leaned on the tree branch. Right now, he was alone, and didn't have any companions to help him. It was better to stay still than to move. If he encountered a problem, he would solve it. Speed wasn't his forte, and hiding was the best way to waste time.
He simply hid in the tree, and waited quietly. Time passed by, minute by minute. Lan Xuanyu was surprised to find that he didn't seem to have encountered any trouble. Although there were some soul beasts passing by, they were all ordinary ten year and hundred year soul beasts. This region seemed to be the outer regions of the Great Star Dou Forest.
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye, and he didn't encounter any soul beasts that could discover him hiding in the tree.
Although Lan Xuanyu felt a little strange in his heart, he did not act rashly. He wasn't anxious, but he was thinking that the Shrek Academy never spoke without thinking. Since they said that they had to survive for twenty-four hours, there must be some difficult situations that they had to face. But after a few hours, nothing seemed to have changed. He didn't think that the Shrek Academy would forget about him and let him pass the additional exam so easily. Moreover, there was also Ji Hongbin's reminder. Therefore, even though nothing had happened, he didn't dare to let his guard down.
Time continued to pass. Lan Xuanyu silently calculated. Gradually, the sky darkened and evening arrived.
It was easier for him to get tired if he constantly focused his mind, even if his mental power had already reached the Spirit Sea Realm. The sky darkened, and night fell. The Great Star Dou Forest seemed to have become even quieter.
Lan Xuanyu didn't dare to be careless. He could only rely on himself now, so he could only wait quietly.
According to his previous estimation of the situation, coupled with his observation of the sun. He should have entered at around noon. In other words, the additional exam would end at noon the next day.
More than ten hours had already passed. The Great Star Dou Forest was a little cold in the middle of the night. Occasionally, some strange sounds could be heard. Only now did Lan Xuanyu realize how important it was to have a partner. Even if he only had one partner, the two of them could take turns to rest and recover their mental power. But right now, he had to maintain a high level of vigilance. Who knew when the test would come?
Just like that, he sat there for an entire night with his eyes wide open. But still, nothing happened. Dawn came, and the sky brightened. In a few more hours, it would be time for his additional exam.
But the more it was at this time, the more nervous Lan Xuanyu became. He suddenly realized that this additional exam was very likely to be more difficult than he had imagined. This was because if there was a certain amount of pressure from the beginning, then this pressure might continue, but it wouldn't be explosive. Then, if nothing happened at the beginning, it meant that he would most likely encounter something at the end, and it would definitely be an extremely difficult problem to solve.
Not to mention that he had already stayed awake for almost twenty hours without sleeping, and was in a state of mental tension. Now, he didn't dare to relax.
Waves of tiredness surged up. Lan Xuanyu pinched his thigh for the third time, allowing the pain to stimulate him to stay awake.
Just at this moment, he suddenly heard a strange sound. It was a kind of "whoosh whoosh" sound produced by something sweeping across the forest.
Lan Xuanyu's eyes widened. His entire body's energy was instantly raised. The gold and silver patterned Blue Silver Grass was silently released and wrapped around his hands.
The true test was very likely to come!
Soon, he could tell that the voice was indeed coming from his direction. Through the gaps in the leaves, he concentrated on watching.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the distance. It quickly moved forward and dashed in his direction. Her speed was very fast, but she was clearly panicking.
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and tried his best to adjust his vision to look.
It was a human, a woman. He immediately identified it. As the other party approached, Lan Xuanyu's narrowed eyes suddenly widened again, and he almost cried out in alarm.
How could it be her?
Yes! He recognized the person who was running away in a sorry state. Not only did he recognize her, but they had also fought side by side not long ago. Wasn't that Dong Qianqiu?
Dong Qianqiu looked somewhat miserable. There were obvious cracks on her long skirt. Her left calf that was as smooth as cream was exposed. Her speed was very fast, and as she ran, she released layers of ice mist behind her from time to time.
To be able to chase her to such a state, there was no doubt that the person chasing her was definitely a powerful enemy!
Dong Qianqiu was about to reach the tree that Lan Xuanyu was hiding under.
What should I do? At this moment, Lan Xuanyu was faced with a problem. Dong Qianqiu obviously didn't notice him. As long as he didn't make a sound, Dong Qianqiu should run over. However, her current situation wasn't too good. There were still bloodstains on her chest. Was he going to let her pass without coming out to recognize him?
At this moment, a low roar sounded from afar. Lan Xuanyu suddenly saw that within the ice mist released by Dong Qianqiu, a nimble figure suddenly pounced out. It went straight for Dong Qianqiu who was running at high speed.
It was a ferocious tiger with black and white patterns all over its body. It had a pair of wings on its back, and there were layers of black air currents surging around its body. There was a faint purple halo lingering in the air currents. Even the black and white patterns on its body were constantly surging, as if they were alive.
This was …
Sinister Dark Demon Tiger? The patterns were a hundred years old, the black mist was a thousand years old, and the purple light was a sign that a Dark Demon had formed. This meant that the four-meter-long tiger in front of him had a cultivation of at least ten thousand years.
A ten thousand year Sinister Dark Demon Tiger? What kind of concept was that?
Tigers were the kings of beasts. Amongst the tiger-type soul beasts, the Darkfiend Tiger was second only to the Golden Tiger King with the Golden Bloodline and the mutated Darkfiend God Tiger. It was one of the top ranked soul beasts. Although it wasn't the strongest, it wasn't too far off. More importantly, this Sinister Dark Demon Tiger had a ten thousand year cultivation!
How could two-ringed and three-ringed soul masters like them contend against a ten-thousand-year soul beast?
As the Sinister Dark Demon Tiger pounced forward, the black mist around its body surged, and a fishy smell assaulted their faces. The surrounding light seemed to be swallowed by its massive body.
