“Why haven’t you left yet?”
After a short moment of sadness, Aunt Jing Lan looked at Gu Xing Zhou, who was still standing at the same spot, with some doubt.
Gu Xing Zhou also felt a little sore.” That’s right. Why haven’t I left yet…”
Due to the many unforeseen circumstances, the Ancient Star Continent had lost the teleportation device they had brought with them. The people who had come to the Myriad Beast Mountain Secret Realm to rescue them were different from the examinees.
The examinees came in through the martial examination’s mystic realm teleportation device. Every examinee had a special teleportation mark on their body.
No matter what happened during the examination, no matter if the wristwatch was lost or not, once the examination was over, the examinees would return to Great Xia, regardless of whether they were dead or alive.
However, the Ancient Star Continent was different. Their teleportation marks were imprinted on the secret plane teleportation devices that they had brought in.
Now that the equipment was lost, the only thing that returned to Great Xia was the imprint.
The Ancient Star Continent was currently unable to be teleported back, and could only be teleported through the gate.
“Cough cough…Actually, I have something to discuss with the Sacred Mountain Tree.”Gu Xingzhou changed the topic and said, “Sacred Mountain Tree, I want to discuss a deal with you.
I hope that you can keep your promise to Classmate Ji Ruo. In exchange, I…”
He didn’t mention it before because Ji Ruo was really happy, and Gu Xing Zhou couldn’t bear to destroy this pure happiness.
Now that Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian had finished their exams and returned to Great Xia, Gu Xing Zhou could talk business with Shen Mu.
He wanted to protect Ji Ruo’s happiness.
“If Xiao Ji is my friend, I swear on the earth vein that I won’t go back on my word. You don’t have to tell me that.” The Sacred Mountain Tree said matter-of-factly,” We’ve ticked it.”
He had originally thought that the Sacred Wood Tree was just a joke. He did not expect it to be true.
The Sacred Mountain Wood had already fused with the earth vein. Making an oath with the earth vein was already a very important oath.
However, it was still not safe. This kind of oath was actually useless.
“You can’t go back, right?” the Sacred Mountain Tree suddenly asked. I don’t feel the power of traveling through time from you.”
“Hahahaha, how is that possible? I really have something to discuss with you, that’s why I stayed.”
“I’m serious!” ” I want to represent Great Xia’s Education Department to make a deal with you,” Gu Xing Zhou said seriously.”
Aunt Jing Lan did not have much of a relationship with the Ancient Star Continent, and she was not interested in any transactions in the Ancient Star Continent. After bidding farewell to the Sacred Mountain Tree, she left the mountain top with Da Bao and Er Bao and returned to the nest.
“Chirp -(Divine Mountain Tree, I’ll go back first. If there are other guys who want to find trouble with you, you can contact me. Right now, there’s no one in Myriad Beast Mountain who can be our match.)
“Alright.”
“What deal?” Shenmu asked Gu Xingzhou.”
“The contents of the deal are what you and Ji Ruo have agreed on.”Although the Sacred Mountain Wood had already sworn on the earth vein, the Ancient Star Continent still felt that it was not safe.
If the Sacred Mountain Tree broke the contract, how sad would Ji Ruo be? He wanted to add a layer of insurance to Ji Ruo’s agreement.
This insurance was also beneficial to Great Xia. It was killing two birds with one stone.
“That child can’t get much ‘fertilizer’ alone. If you’re willing to be on good terms with the humans, I can represent Great Xia to cooperate with you. In the future, you can provide all kinds of spiritual herbs and fruits, and Great Xia will provide you with ‘fertilizers’.”
The Sacred Mountain Tree was silent for a moment.’
Because of Ji Ruo, the Sacred Mountain Tree had become the biggest winner tonight. It had become the absolute ruler of the Myriad Beast Mountain Secret
Realm, the existence that controlled the entire earth vein.
Not only for now, but even his future ‘meals’ were settled.
Therefore, it had a good impression of people who were related to Ji Ruo. Moreover, if Ji Ruo promised to provide it with ‘fertilizer’, it would be the same for the Ancient Star Continent. It was the same agreement, and it would not suffer any losses either way, so why would it not agree?
“But you have to pull the hook.” Shenmu said.
It stretched out the branch that it had hooked with Ji Ruo earlier and brought it in front of Gu Xing Zhou.
Gu Xing Zhou was stunned for a moment before he extended his little finger.”Then pull the hook.”
“Hang yourself for a hundred years! “Shenmu imitated Ji Ruo and made an agreement with Gu Xing Zhou.
After the agreement was made, both sides fell silent.
Gu Xing Zhou did not know what else to say. The Sacred Mountain Wood was not good with words.
Ten minutes later-
” You left a message in the earth vein,” the Sacred Mountain Tree suddenly said.” You asked other humans to save you, right?””
The Sacred Mountain Wood that controlled the earth vein was now able to gather all the information that was ‘stored’ in the Myriad Beast Mountain’s earth vein.
” You said in your message that your ‘teleportation device’ was lost…” Gu Xing Zhou: ” Hahahahahaha, did you find out? How embarrassing…”
“There are a few humans outside the mountain peak trying to get in here. They should be here to pick you up. Do you need me to help you let them in?”
. Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Yun Cheng First Middle School.
Flag-raising Square.
There were a total of 863 candidates participating in this martial examination. Perhaps because they were lucky, most of the students were relatively close to each other after being teleported.
Or perhaps it was because of the education policy of Yun Cheng First Middle
School. Yun Cheng First Middle School was the best middle school in the entire Yun Cheng. It was not that the students in Yun Cheng First Middle School were strong, but that the mortality rate of Yun Cheng First Middle School’s annual martial arts examination was the lowest in the province.
The main direction of martial arts teaching in No.l Middle School was all kinds of escape techniques.
The first reaction of most students when they encountered danger was to run away as fast as they could!
It was almost a conditioned reflex reflex.
In short, many people in Yun Cheng First Middle School were injured this time. There were even a few who were missing arms and legs.
However, because the martial examination had only started for less than half a day, the higher-ups had already reacted and organized a rescue.
A large number of martial artists poured into the Myriad Beast Mountain Secret Realm to participate in the rescue. On the first day of the martial examination alone, 655 people from No.1 Middle School were rescued.
And because of the large-scale geological change that happened on the third day, for some unknown reason, almost all the examinees and patrolling martial artists were moved to the vicinity of the entrance of the mystic realm by the earth vein.
On the third day, the number of students rescued reached 861!
The search and rescue continued, but the number did not change after that.
Yun Cheng First Middle School had saved 861 people from 863 people. This loss did not seem to be a big one.
But life couldn’t be counted like that.
More than 70% of the students were injured, and more than 20% of them had broken limbs.
It was the only class that did not have any students injured, and it was also the only class that did not have any students return.
Those two students who didn’t make it back, I’m afraid…
The students from the other classes had already returned. After the school had calculated the casualties, they were allowed to go home.
Those students also had families. Their families were also worried, and it was not good to keep them in school.
Only the students of Grade 12 Class 4 volunteered to stay behind and wait for their classmates who had not returned.
