...
"Possessed?!"
Fang Zhengzhi still had a lingering fear in his heart. After much effort, he finally managed to pin the "crime" on a traveler who had passed by the Southern Mountain Village ten days ago. Only then did he manage to escape from home.
However, this made him feel somewhat alarmed. He was only six years old, sometimes he had to keep a low profile. If he was really thought to be possessed...
Thinking back to what he had seen before, drinking talisman water, tying crosses, burning and burying people... Fang Zhengzhi's heart shuddered. Even though he didn't know if this world had such "torture".
But he still had to be careful.
After strolling for a while, he was led by the crowd and unknowingly arrived at the square. Looking at the dense crowd, Fang Zhengzhi sighed.
The square, which had always been used to distribute game, was now filled with villagers talking and laughing. In the east, there was a one-meter-tall platform made of logs. The platform was covered with a layer of bright red cloth and a layer of carpet.
On the carpet, three wooden chairs covered with animal hide were placed in the middle in a triangular formation.
In the middle was a redwood chair carved with the head of an animal. On the wooden chair, there was a piece of animal hide with white fur on both sides and a bright red like fire in the middle.
When Fang Zhengzhi saw this piece of animal skin, he was instantly captivated. His jet-black eyes glimmered. He had never seen this kind of animal skin before. Not only that, he was certain that based on the quality of this animal skin, it definitely did not belong to the Southern Mountain Village.
"This is good stuff. If I have this piece of animal hide, my family will become rich overnight. Should I take it and run?" This thought flashed across Fang Zhengzhi's mind, but was immediately rejected.
Based on his short legs, he would probably be caught before he could run. Then, his little butt would definitely be beaten to a pulp.
Just as he was thinking, a figure flashed in front of him.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" A strong-looking kid wearing open pants, one hand holding a chicken drumstick, the other wiping his oily mouth, glaring angrily at Fang Zhengzhi.
Being blocked by a six year old kid, and looking like he had the urge to start a fight, Fang Zhengzhi really couldn't accept it.
Adults weren't easy to deal with, but kids of the same age were definitely no problem. Their intelligence was enough to crush them.
"What?" Fang Zhengzhi replied lazily.
"I heard from my mother that you're not satisfied with me getting a place in the preliminary test? What did he mean by a competition? This young master is asking you, do you dare to compete with me now? " As he spoke, he waved his muscular arms, showing off his strength to Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth. This Li Huer in front of him was the precious son of his neighbour, Auntie Li. Although he was a little dumb, he couldn't beat Fang Zhengzhi who ate meat every day. In terms of strength, he definitely crushed Fang Zhengzhi.
"Aren't you going to take the test? Aren't you afraid of getting injured and affecting your results? "Fang Zhengzhi kindly advised.
Li Huer was taken aback. He shook his head and thought to himself that Fang Zhengzhi was right. It wouldn't be good if he was injured. Hence, he quickly accepted Fang Zhengzhi's reminder.
"Then let's not compete in fighting, we can compete in other things!"
"You can't beat me in running …" Fang Zhengzhi said worriedly.
"Who said I can't outrun you? If you have the guts, let's compete right now!" Li Huer was obviously not convinced.
"Alright, do you see that beast skin on the stage? Let's compete to see who can snatch it first. "Fang Zhengzhi pointed at the brightly coloured beast skin in the middle of the stage.
"Alright!" Li Huer instantly nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. He turned around and prepared to go up the stage.
Fang Zhengzhi sighed in his heart. Then, just as Li Huer was about to make a mad dash, he opened his mouth again.
"Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong? Are you scared already? "Li Huer stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi, his face filled with confusion.
"No, before you run, hold the chicken drumstick for me, in case you can't use your strength when you climb up the stage later." Fang Zhengzhi kindly suggested once again.
Li Huer's eyeballs rolled. If he gave the chicken drumstick to Fang Zhengzhi, he would definitely lose later!
"Oh, ok!" Li Huer readily agreed. He didn't think about the more serious issue of whether he could get the chicken drumstick back after giving it to Fang Zhengzhi.
Then, the chicken drumstick was in Fang Zhengzhi's hands. Then, Li Huer sprinted towards the stage like a fat pig out of its cage.
That movement, wild, unrestrained, without the slightest bit of sloppiness …
It has to be said that Li Huer's speed was really fast. The villagers guarding the stage didn't even have time to react before he had already slipped up the stage naked. Without even panting, he immediately hugged the beast skin on the chair and flashed a victorious smile at Fang Zhengzhi.
The result was self-evident.
When Li Huer hugged the beast skin and laughed loudly, a few villagers also reacted.
Split pants couldn't defend against a slap.
The few villagers' movements were the same. Wild, unrestrained, without the slightest bit of sloppiness …
A very crisp sound of a slap rang out on Li Huer's little butt.
"Ouch! Ouch, ouch … "Li Huer's incessant cries revealed his emotions at this moment.
"Sigh, it's lonely at the top." Fang Zhengzhi raised his head and gazed at the sunlight shining down from the sky. He picked up the chicken drumstick in his hand and began to chew on it …
…
Amidst Li Huer's cries, the official selection finally began.
After a series of sounds of gongs and drums, several hundred soldiers in bright armor appeared on the square in an orderly manner, riding on tall creatures with fine black fur all over their bodies and four feet wrapped in white scales.
Almost half of the square was occupied in an instant.
The rumbling of their footsteps caused the villagers to involuntarily take a few steps back.
"Are they riding on Snow Treading Dragon Stallions?!"
"Tsk tsk … definitely! Only the Divine Constabulary can afford to rear these Snow Treading Dragon Stallions. I heard that they eat a few pounds of meat every meal. "
"They eat that much? Wouldn't that make me broke in just a few meals? "
"You? Haha … even if I sold you, you wouldn't be worth the price of a Snow Treading Dragon Stallion! "
A group of villagers in shabby clothes stood on both sides of the army, pointing at the soldiers and discussing them in low voices.
"Look, they are carrying something, I wonder what it is?"
"Only the heavens know, but since it is something from the Divine Constabulary, it must be extremely valuable!"
After a few voices rang out, all of the villagers noticed that at the front of the army, there was a mysterious object being carried by eight burly soldiers.
The golden silk cloth covered the top of the mysterious object, shining brightly under the sunlight.
Fang Zhengzhi naturally noticed this as well. From what he could see, the object the eight soldiers were carrying was about two meters tall. As for how wide it was, he could not guess.
