The sky suddenly darkened for no reason.
Where you stand is the treetops that reach into the sky.
This tree canopy serves as the starting point. Going further, you will see a road in the clouds.
The sky seemed to be within reach.
Looking down further, you can see the trees winding all the way here.
There is no doubt that this tree is the Night Tree.
And at the top of the Night Tree is the 'platform' above the clouds.
The purpose card worked successfully.
"Is this the Night Tree?"
Guo Rui's eyes widened. "The scene created by the Assessment Island is really grand. Even the sea of clouds has appeared. Lin You, your mission is not to obtain something from the elves, right?"
"You're right."
"Really? The mission remains the same, only the competition scene has been changed?"
Guo Rui was a little surprised, and Xia Mu also looked at Lin You with a little surprise.
If this is the case, then this mission will be a bit troublesome.
They had already spent a lot of time to get the Phantom Black Hair.
During this time, the Night Tree mission was also underway.
They have completely lost the initiative.
The only good news is that Lin You has not received any news of failure yet, which means that the mission has not been completed yet. They still have a chance, but they need to speed up.
"It's not a mission."
Lin You explained, "It's just that the word 'elf' was indeed mentioned in the mission, but the content was rather vague, saying that one needed to gain the approval of the night elves."
"Gaining the approval of the elves? What kind of a task is that?"
Guo Rui was a little confused. He rolled his eyes and guessed, "Could it be that he's helping her complete something? If so, wouldn't that just complicate the mission, adding another step? I'd have to find the Night Elf first before I could figure out the specifics of the mission."
"But it's okay."
Lin You smiled and said, "This sea of clouds is limited in area and is so open. It should be easy to find the Night Elves. Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing."
"really."
Guo Rui nodded. If the night elves were easy to find, those involved in the mission should have gotten there long ago.
However, you have to be bold and try.
Lin You was able to arrive here so smoothly because of the reminder given by the revelation card, confirming that this was the 'Tree of Night'.
If it has not been confirmed, the destination card is activated and a location is selected for transmission. If the location does not exist, the destination card will be confused and thus scrapped.
So there is a risk-taking issue here.
Although people who are capable of performing Class B tasks are generally not afraid of taking risks, taking risks does require certain considerations and will take up corresponding time.
Lin You didn't dwell on this. Since the mission hadn't been completed, he still had a chance. He immediately said, "Let's go."
As he spoke, he activated his magic power and summoned a land-based battleship.
This kind of place is a paradise for satisfying the desire to race combat boats.
It’s a pity that monster cards cannot be teleported.
Otherwise, with Baphomet leading the group, the process would be faster and more stable.
The energy device was activated and the battle boat started immediately, dragging a ripple on the clouds.
"Oh huh, that's refreshing!"
There were no obstacles and no need to worry about crashing. Guo Rui's mood while riding in the car was completely different from before. He was immersed in the thrill of racing.
…
While the fighter boat was speeding at full speed, deep in the sea of clouds.
The night seemed even darker.
A ray of moonlight slanting down on the sea of clouds was particularly conspicuous, like the only spotlight on the stage.
Under this light, a female elf figure in a black dress with crystal white skin and bright eyes smiled friendlyly, but her whole body was filled with a unique temperament that was noble and holy and seemed to be inviolable.
It is the existence called 'Night Elf'.
At this moment, a semicircular light shield covering an area of only a few square meters was formed with the Night Elf as the center.
Inside the light shield, a large number of pitch-black light particles were flying around as brightly as fireflies.
This light shield isolated everyone from the outside world, leaving only the Night Elf and her assessment target.
The assessment target, who was also an advanced student, stayed in the light shield and did not release any cards, but stood still obediently.
A look of confusion appeared on his face. The Night Elf did not tell him the specific content of the test, but just asked him to stand still and wait quietly.
And this wait lasted for several minutes.
The night elf stood there stupidly for a long time, still with a smile on his face, without saying a word.
If it weren't for her beautiful elf-like face that was truly pleasing to the eye, he would have really lost his patience.
Apart from this advanced student who was undergoing assessment, there were some people waiting outside the light shield.
Among these people, Wan Yibin is there.
Xiao Yi is here.
Qi Yuxuan is here too!
These three were all students who won the title of "Advanced" in the first round.
But from the perspective of assessment, the strongest is undoubtedly Wan Yibin.
He has always been at the top of the points list. The points list has not appeared for a while, but even if it appears, Wan Yibin will not fall behind by a single point.
His team has nine people, which is also a large team.
In terms of numbers, he may not be as popular as Zeng Xi, who is currently in the limelight in the outside world.
But the overall strength is not much different.
Most of his team are semi-advanced students.
Among the remaining people, apart from himself, there are two advanced students, who can be said to be quite strong.
There were quite a few people gathered, but there were no signs of fighting for the time being.
It’s not that they don’t want to, but they still have to take part in the Night Elves’ assessment. If they mess around here, it’s equivalent to giving up their qualifications.
If you want to fight, you have to wait until the assessment is over.
Fighting here may have some negative effects.
Since the Night Elves have the ability to form a light shield that isolates everyone, it is not surprising that they are also capable of defeating all the candidates present.
There was no fighting, and many people started discussing things because they had nothing to do.
"How long do we have to wait? It's been several minutes and there's still no movement?"
"I just asked around, and they said two people had already taken the test. It took them about half an hour, but they both failed. I don't know what this test actually means."
"Half an hour? That's so long? That would take up quite a bit of time."
Listening to their discussion, Xiao Yi, who had just arrived, frowned.
So long?
Wouldn't that delay his team from scoring points?
Speaking of the team, Xiao Yi acted as a lone wolf in the first few hours of the assessment. After accidentally discovering the existence of the card shop, he realized that he needed more gold coins.
He could also guess that many people would probably work together in this assessment.
Therefore, if you want to defeat the enemy with a small force, gold coins are indispensable.
Apart from anything else, the magic card alone made Xiao Yi certain of his idea.
Relying on magic cards, he has relatively sufficient endurance as a 'lone wolf'.
But even so.
As the assessment progressed, Xiao Yi had to admit that he was somewhat overwhelmed.
It was at this time that he met a duo consisting of Qi Yuxuan and another girl.
Faced with the invitation to form a team proposed by the two, Xiao Yi ignored the pretense of being profound and finally did not refuse.
Therefore, from the perspective of the trio, the combat effectiveness of Xiao Yi's team has obviously increased.
Although the number is small, it is enough to make people fearful.
As if seeing some of his thoughts, a girl in the team smiled and said, "1500 gold coins is indeed worth the wait. Xiao Yi, I think you can do what they can't do."
When she said this, the corners of the girl's lips unconsciously turned up, revealing a bit of a crazy look.
She didn't really think much about whether she would get points or not. After all, the current level was beyond her expectations.
For her, it is a blessing to be able to stay with the talented and handsome Xiao Yi.
After discovering Xiao Yi, it was this girl who was extremely eager to form a group with him.
Qi Yuxuan certainly had no objection to the request of her fellow girl.
"Yeah?"
Xiao Yi's gaze remained unchanged, but he had figured out a lot in his mind.
I almost forgot.
This is a great opportunity to show off in front of the fans.
Well, just consider it a small price to pay to satisfy their wishes and make them more convinced of me.
Xiao Yi was thinking to himself, his hands subconsciously clasped together, and his ankles touched together.
It’s a pity that there is nothing to lean on behind him, and the standing posture of this deep and cold strong man lacks a lot of flavor.
…
Nearly half an hour passed.
Within the light shield, the Night Elf suddenly spoke, his voice pleasant and resonant with a distant quality. "Thank you for your cooperation, but unfortunately, you cannot listen to the voices of the Night Wanderers. Farewell."
After saying this, the semicircular light shield disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, the advanced student felt a gentle force slowly sending him several meters away.
A prompt indicating that the mission failed appears.
This also means that this advanced student has completely lost the opportunity to complete the "Night Tree" mission.
"grass!"
Although he was sent out politely, the advanced student couldn't help but curse when he learned that the mission had completely failed.
If you fail in a mission after trying your best, that's okay, at most you'll be depressed for a while.
But now, the failure of this mission is somewhat inexplicable.
What does it mean to be unable to listen to the voice of 'Night Wanderer'?
What the hell is 'night tour'?
This mission is insane!
Could you at least tell me how to complete the assessment?
The result was an inexplicable failure, wasting half an hour?
Not only the time, but also the gold coins were lost a lot!
He has a team, and for this mission, he consumed a destination card and several tracking cards.
This is just the consumption when you come here.
Leaving now will cost more money.
After comprehensive calculation, it’s a huge loss.
"Damn, bad luck."
The advanced student's heart was bleeding, but he was too lazy to endure this humiliation any longer. He led his six-member team, activated their cards, and then quickly disappeared into the Night Tree under the cover of the teleportation beam.
At this time, it was Wan Yibin's turn to take the test.
Everyone has the opportunity to take the test, but they must follow the order. This is the rule set by the night elves and no one can break it.
Xiao Yi frowned slightly.
He knows Wan Yibin.
The rookie king of Fengfan High School.
When it comes to dueling strength, he doesn't take it seriously at all.
In terms of appearance, it's even worse.
But no matter what, it still has a reputation.
It's not good news that he got to take the test first.
Xiao Yi's gaze quickly fell on the Night Elf, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.
Don’t let others pass this assessment without your permission!
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a series of shrill wails in his ears.
"Ahhh, damn it, damn it, Lin You knew this card of yours was unreliable, so why did he still fall for it? This is outrageous!"
"Oh my god, I'm getting deeper and deeper into this. Take it back now."
"Why don't you pull it back and keep driving? No, I can't hold it any longer. I'm going to jump out of the car first!"
Lin You?!
He didn't care at first, but when the word "Lin You" fell into his ears, Xiao Yi turned around almost reflexively and looked towards the support.
Not only him, many people present also looked over.
After all, most people have been bored for a long time.
Although there are many people coming, there are only a few who actually have B-level tasks, and they are also team leaders.
Therefore, the tragic screams like slaughtering a pig naturally attracted the attention of most people.
Take a closer look.
It turned out to be a monster that looked like a mechanical creature. At this moment, its wheels, no, it should be said that half of its body was stuck in the cloud.
The sea of clouds, which was large enough for people to stand easily, seemed to have turned into a swamp in an instant.
In this 'swamp', the monster sank deeper and deeper.
A total of three people, including the one who screamed, jumped out of the car one after another.
Lin You stumbled and swayed for a while before he managed to steady himself. He looked at the land-based combat boat that had been completely swallowed by the sea of clouds with some confusion.
What happened just now?
Could it be that this place has really become the "sea", so the wheels of the "land-type" combat boats can't move?
After wondering for a while, Lin You quickly turned his gaze away.
He had already noticed that there were quite a few people here, and Chestnut Ball also caught the unique atmosphere here. The Night Elves were obviously here.
"Having said that, it's a lot more harmonious than I imagined."
Lin You was a little surprised. So many people were just standing there, not fighting, and had the time to notice his arrival.
interesting.
Is it because of the task limitations?
Lin You immediately thought of this.
If you say it is a check and balance, it actually makes sense, but the prerequisite is that everyone completes the soul connection.
That's not the case now.
No one summoned a monster, which means that no one has completed the soul connection yet.
So, this place has mostly become a safe zone.
"A safe zone?"
Xia Mu also quickly saw the situation, "This is good, it will make it easier for me to participate in the mission wholeheartedly."
"It's more than just a mission."
A bright smile appeared on Lin You's face. "I've found someone to cooperate with further."
He had already noticed Qi Yuxuan in the crowd.
Although it is called a crowd, the number of people is actually limited.
It’s not difficult to find acquaintances among them.
Suddenly, he also moved forward.
The current situation is obviously quite special.
We cannot compete violently, and are all restricted by the rules.
That's great, I can go and ask what the specific situation is.
"Can we expand the team now?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Rui's face showed joy.
Needless to say, anyone who catches Lin You's eye must be a big shot.
Although Lin You and Xia Mu's thighs are already thick enough, but when it comes to thighs, the more the better!
Xia Mu also smiled, he also noticed Xiao Yi and others.
If we can successfully establish a cooperative relationship, it will indeed be a great help.
However, in his opinion, he did not think Xiao Yi would be willing to cooperate.
Although the other party hid it very well, Xia Mu still noticed that Xiao Yi seemed to have an inexplicable wariness and hostility towards both him and Lin You.
Especially to Lin You!
Xia Mu could understand Xiao Yi's hidden "hostility" attitude, but he couldn't be sure whether it was what he thought.
We have to observe and see.
At this time, Lin You had already walked over and started chatting with Qi Yuxuan.
While they were chatting, Xia Mu keenly sensed that the hostility in Xiao Yi's eyes seemed to be noticeably stronger.
Could it be that Xiao Yi...
Looking at Qi Yuxuan, then at Lin You, and finally at Xiao Yi again, Xia Mu understood.
This was somewhat unexpected, but considering the girl's conditions, it was both reasonable and unexpected.
"Assess one by one? I see."
Lin You felt relieved immediately after learning about the current situation from Qi Yuxuan. Is this what is called gaining the recognition of the night elves?
But I still don’t know what it takes to be recognized.
Lin You pondered for a moment, then suddenly stopped thinking about it. Instead, he smiled and said, "I'm preparing a strong team. What do you think, Mr. Qi? Are you interested?"
"What? That kind of name."
Qi Yuxuan laughed a bit, but then said cheerfully, "I don't have any objections to this, but I actually have a small team here. Are you responsible for compatibility?"
"Of course. Who are they?"
At this point, Lin You glanced at the girl next to Qi Yuxuan and couldn't help but chuckle, "Just the two of you?"
But as soon as he finished saying this, Lin You noticed an unfriendly gaze.
His eyes slightly tilted.
The owner of that gaze was indeed Xiao Yi, whom Lin You had deliberately ignored before.
What's wrong with him now? Is he going to start acting stupid for no apparent reason again like before?
etc.
Lin You suddenly realized something, lowered his voice, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that he is still here?"
"Yeah, you're shocked?"
Qi Yuxuan nodded, but didn't quite understand what Lin You meant.
Are there really such idiots?!
Lin You was speechless, then looked at the other party again and found that Xiao Yi was no longer playing deep, but had the word "unhappy" written directly on his face.
The atmosphere became a little subtle.
But before the atmosphere of confrontation spread, something unexpected happened.
The light shield suddenly disappeared.
In just a few minutes, Wan Yibin came out of the light shield!
Xiao Yi was shocked and stopped looking at Lin You. Instead, he hurriedly looked at Wan Yibin.
Did he succeed?
No, that's impossible!
And at this moment.
Wan Yibin, with his back to Xiao Yi and many others, was in a daze.
The Night Elf declared his defeat without hesitation and then removed the light shield.
What's going on?
The others failed, but at least they persisted for half an hour.
How come it only takes five minutes for him?
Who are you trying to fool?!
Am I weaker than them?
I'm the rookie king of Fengfan High School, don't I have any dignity?!
"It seems like... a failure?"
Looking at the current situation, someone said something tentatively.
But soon, everyone discovered something surprising.
That is it.
The next moment after the light shield was removed, the night elf suddenly lifted her skirt and rushed towards somewhere with great strides.
Excitement and enthusiasm were written all over that beautiful face, completely disregarding her goddess demeanor.
And that direction was exactly where Xiao Yi was.
I was impressed by his handsomeness!
Xiao Yi immediately came to a conclusion in his mind. No wonder the assessment was over in just a few minutes. It must have been because he suddenly noticed his presence and couldn't control himself.
The so-called assessment of the night elves is actually based on appearance, right?
This guy turns out to be a complete appearance-obsessed person.
I thought it was a very complex assessment, but it turns out it’s just this level?
But at least I'm not blind, so I'll just accept the arms of this "fanatical fan" with reluctance.
Xiao Yi's mouth corners slightly raised, deep and confident, and he slightly spread his arms, preparing to welcome his own "victory".
And at this moment——
The night elf that rushed forward suddenly jumped and threw itself accurately into the arms of the unsuspecting Lin You, with a happy and satisfied smile on its face.
Feeling the softness and slight coolness in my arms.
Lin You was also stunned on the spot.
What's going on?
There was an uproar all around in an instant.
Xiao Yi's outstretched hands, along with the expression on his face, froze in vain.
