Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

When Wang Luo, following Fan Li's reminder, went to wake up the three top students from the Dinghuang Army who were addicted to solving problems, he was met with wailing.

He just took away the formation diagram that the three people were watching, and all the memories about this formation disappeared from the minds of the three people in an instant.

Chang Feiran was stunned and sighed: "Oh, Mountain Master, we just had some inspiration, but this is really... a bit of torture!"

Gong Daozi rolled on the floor: "Ah ah ah ah, I almost solved it!"

Ma Cong's eyes were red and he begged: "Just five minutes, just give me another five minutes, just wait until I verify this solution!"

Wang Luo completely ignored these chest-thumping words - the difficulty of the final question of the formation-breaking competition is that it is specious. It seems to have a variety of clever solutions, each of which is just right and simple, as long as you pile up the computing power The result will definitely be calculated, it is just a matter of time. But in fact, every specious approach is a trap. If you really invest your precious time and consciousness into it, you will play into the hands of the old professors.

Wang Luo had deduced more than 80 solutions on his own, and most of them were better than those used by Chang Feiran and others, but he still couldn't get the result. At this time, just by looking at the three people's problem-solving process, he could determine that these three people were even in the preliminaries. If you fail, there is no need to waste your life on the final questions.

So as the mountain master, he cooperated with the commander-in-chief and gave the three of them a clear mission: to return to the team as soon as possible, and marked the next eastbound way home for them on a paper map.

After that, Wang Luo gave Chang Feiran a few amulet urns that had been temporarily made by the old professors from the East District, and told him to fulfill his duties as a soldier king and protect his elite men. He did not stay any longer and took Fan with him. Li set off to find the bait.

Fan Li held the flower plate, immersed in his spiritual thoughts, and with the blessing of Wang Luo's protector, he performed a tracing technique with unprecedented precision, which made his soul resonate with the original owner, and then subconsciously reported Shu Quan's location - no Unexpectedly, it's to the west.

At this time, they were already in the red ridge area. Looking west from the mountain, the red hills formed by the two original alluvials seemed to be very close. The sudden red ridges lacked vegetation coverage, so the landscape was clearly visible, but there was no trace of them. What traces of pedestrians.

Therefore, Wang Luo couldn't help but focus on the wasteland outside the Dinghuang barrier, which occupied half of the world to the west.

The conclusion seems to be clear at a glance.

It seemed like an unabashed straight hook, but its temptation was indeed irresistible.

After that, Wang Luo asked Fan Li to hold the flower plate carefully and guide him all the way to the west. With the blessing of Wang Luo's leaping skill, Fan Li walked very quickly. After a while, he completely walked out of the lush forest. In front of Red Ridge. Just when he was about to step onto the red soil ahead, Fan Li suddenly stopped, with a look of surprise and hesitation on his face.

Wang Luo asked: "What's wrong?"

Fan Li replied: "Mountain Master, I just performed the traceback method again, and this time the results suddenly became much more specific. Not only the direction, I can already vaguely judge the distance."

"Okay, then what?"

Fan Li said: "Quan'er is now due west of us... about twenty miles away."

Starting from the junction of Chilang and Qingshan, and pushing 20 miles further west, we are undoubtedly outside the boundary of Dinghuang.

This result was completely in line with Wang Luo's guess, so he was not surprised. But Fan Li couldn't go on any longer.

"Mountain Master, it's too dangerous." She said softly and sincerely, "I don't know why Quan'er ran outside the barrier, but if it's a trap..."

Wang Luo said: "If I am not here and you are the only one, tracing back to Shuquan is not far outside the barrier. Will you go?"

Fan Li sighed and said nothing, but the answer was still obvious.

"You're not afraid, so what am I afraid of?" Wang Luo smiled, "Even if it's really a trap, it's not that easy to design a trap that can help me. With my current strength, without the combined ancestor-level Ancient Desolate Demon to suppress the formation, the rest of the desolate creatures Even if there are thousands of them, it will not help. And if there is a combined or even Mahayana-level ancient artifact, it will just allow me to verify the edge of the Star Destroyer Divine Sword in the southern part of Lingshan."

Fan Li had to argue: "But this presupposes that all frontline mechanisms are still functioning normally. But now that the frontline and even the military restricted areas are full of holes, how can you ensure that the Star Destroyer Sword can be used like an arm?"

Wang Luo stared at Fan Li seriously and found that her worries at this time were indeed genuine, so he said: "Of course there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents, but strictly speaking, after the Star Destroyer Fortress is built and the Excalibur is sharpened, there will actually be accidents at any time. Then there is a one-in-a-billion chance that the sword light will go wild due to the failure of a certain part, but the divine sword that kills Mahayana will self-destruct and release a sword light that can tear the world apart. By then, even Lingshan will not be safe, and Rongcheng, which is only a few dozen miles away, is likely to destroy half of the city. "

"!?" Fan Li's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he blinked several times, but he didn't see the slightest hint of a joking smile on Wang Luo's face.

So she shuddered and couldn't help covering her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from screaming.

Wang Luo laughed again and pointed at Fan Li: "Speaking of accidents, how can the poetic elixir in your body not have accidents? Although you have a solid foundation and are obviously an top student in the academy, the elixir is not perfect. On weekdays, if you are protected by the normal laws of the Immortal Alliance and supplemented by spiritual food, there will certainly be no problem. But in the red ridge, the protection of the laws is cut off, and you have been injured and your true energy flow has been shaken. Do you know your own situation? There is a possibility that the golden elixir will collapse and explode at any time. Although the possibility is only one in a billion, in this environment where the probability of accidents is greatly magnified, who can say for sure how high the possibility of the elixir exploding will be? "

Fan Li's face turned even paler and he couldn't help but reach out and touch his belly.

"But you can't give up the golden elixir and become a mortal from now on, right? What's more, your life has long been placed on the golden elixir. If you really take the golden elixir, you will die on the spot. The existence of accidents is indeed very uncomfortable. But if you give up common sense because of an accident, you won't even be able to feel uncomfortable. So, just do what you should do as usual. Don't think in reverse and neglect serious things when an accident occurs. ”

Hearing this, Fan Li nodded in understanding, and then subconsciously touched his lower abdomen with his hand, as if he was worried that it would really explode.

Wang Luo smiled again and said: "However, even if I say this, you probably won't listen. Because people's nature is to pay more attention to accidents rather than common sense beyond accidents. When you realize that the golden elixir may explode, He would keep thinking about the bombs, and eventually he would even forget about the normal flow of true energy.”

Fan Li nodded again and reluctantly took his hand away, but the flow of true energy was indeed still somewhat stagnant. And regarding this, she couldn't help but feel shocked, and felt that she was simply dragging others down.

Wang Luo then advised: "Speaking of which, Chang Feiran's problem solvers actually have the same problem."

Hearing Chang Feiran, Fan Li raised his head curiously.

Wang Luo explained: "Actually, you have read the question just now, right? The essence of that question is that the question is specious, which makes people mistakenly think that the result can be solved using some relatively simple but not so conventional methods. And these excellent students In life, almost everyone has mastered some extraordinary methods. Once they choose a method and start to use it to solve problems, they will find that many difficulties at the beginning are basically overwhelming. In the end, only one or two links are left to make everything suddenly clear. …”

"Of course, this last step is actually insurmountable, but the feeling of being on the verge of getting there is the most unbearable. Many people will deceive themselves and others crazily in front of the door. They don't even care about rigorous logic and subconsciously make up their minds. There are many reasons to convince myself to stick to this path to the end. For example, the extraordinary method I mastered can advance the progress to just one step in an instant, which is obviously a good omen! Another example is the competition a few years ago! There are people who are in a similar situation to me, and accidentally choose an unconventional solution, and finally win the championship in one fell swoop. The only difference between them is persistence... In short, people have a hundred reasons to believe that accidents will happen, but they can't say anything. He refuses to admit that his hard power is insufficient, and he has no destiny at all to win the competition. "

At this point, Wang Luo suddenly paused.

Fan Li was fascinated by what he heard, and even gradually let go of her obsession with accidents. At this moment, the story came to an abrupt end, making her look curiously.

"Speaking of preconceptions, I have an idea... Your best friend Shu Quan must be a person with an active mind, right?"

Fan Li nodded: "Quan'er has always been very clever."

"That's good." Wang Luo said, and took out the Iron Army Commander's Seal again, injected true energy and spiritual thoughts into it, and the treasure light sprouted. Under the light, his face and body squirmed like water, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into Ma Cong, a warrior from the Shenfeng Camp wearing black armor and a green cloak!

Moreover, with this change, not only the appearance, but also the demeanor, temperament and true energy fluctuations were exactly the same as Ma Cong, which made Fan Li stunned.

"King, Master Wangshan?"

But he saw "Ma Cong" look surprised when he heard this, turned his head and looked back for a long time, and asked: "Master Wangshan is here? No way, he is in charge of Lingshan, he will not come to the front line easily. What did you see? Are you hallucinating? Do you need a centering charm or something? You are about to cross the red ridge. You have no professional training, so be more careful."

Fan Li was doubly surprised when he saw that the words and deeds on the other side looked exactly like Ma Cong: "You, what are you talking about? Just now, you, I..."

The next moment, a strange smile filled Wang Luo's face.

"Ha, it seems that my incarnation is quite successful."

"ah?"

Therefore, Wang Luocai explained: "The Dinghuang Army Commander's Seal entrusts millions of military souls. This is not only a necessary restraint for everyone who masters state violence, but also allows the general to better gather the power of the entire army. The holder of this seal can call upon the military soul of any one person and temporarily gain the opponent's magical powers. Although the effect varies greatly depending on the cultivation level of the seal holder, with my current strength, I can imitate an ordinary Shenfeng battalion. Elite is more than enough.”

Fan Li was puzzled: "But, why?"

Wang Luo said: "I just want to see how the bait will react when it realizes that it is not a big fish, but just a fry."

Fan Li suddenly realized: According to the original plot, Wang Luo should accompany Fan Li to find Shu Quan, but there is also a possibility that Wang Luo did not go to the wasteland in person, but appointed a Shenfeng camp soldier to go on his behalf.

The Shenfeng Battalion is named after Feng, and its responsibilities include breaking into the wilderness at any time to perform emergency tasks, so Ma Cong's appearance is reasonable. On the contrary, the master of Lingshan Mountain should not leave the base camp at any time, let alone set foot in the wilderness easily, so...

"But, now that you've told me... I'm not confident that I can cooperate well." Fan Li said softly.

Wang Luo smiled: "Don't worry, I will help you."

After that, he stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of Fan Li, guiding her eyes to wander, causing Fan Li to lose consciousness in a moment.

Snapped!

After snapping her fingers, Fan Li woke up from her dream. She looked around blankly, then focused on the person in front of her, and whispered in a timid voice: "General Ma..."

Wang Luo said seriously: "Please call me by my name. I really can't bear the title of general."

After finishing speaking, he seemed unable to hold himself back and added: "Of course, it doesn't hurt to call me Xiaoma."

"Then, that little... Ma Cong." Fan Li still shrank, "We are not far from Quan'er, but..."

Wang Luo smiled: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter even if you are outside the barrier. In fact, since the pioneering of the wilderness, there have been quite a few people who have walked out of the barrier. In addition to us soldiers who need to go to the wilderness to perform tasks in person, there are also many civilians Some are legal, some are illegal, but after all, there is no shortage of human footprints in the wilderness. It is very close to the border of civilization, and the risk is not that high. It is better for us to rescue her as soon as possible. . Moreover, even if it is not to respond to your request for help, we cannot allow anyone to come and go freely inside and outside the barrier. The person involved will always be found."

After saying that, Wang Luo took the initiative to reach out his hand and used his true energy to control Fan Li's leap. The two of them, one after the other, quickly climbed onto the red hill in front of them.

Standing on the top of the hill and looking to the west, you can clearly see the magnificent scene of Rong City advancing westward and the civilized territory covering the wilderness. The ground beneath your feet seems to have transformed into a giant swallowing beast, slowly but resolutely swallowing the entire world in front of you inch by inch. Any hills, mountains, and barren vegetation that block the road will be crushed into powder and digested before the pioneering force. It becomes the purest fairy breath to nourish the civilization on the right side of the sky.

And when the distance is so close, the scene of the wasteland becomes particularly clear.

As if they were afraid of the approaching beasts of Rong City, the demons and beasts that were supposed to live in the wasteland retreated to unknown places, leaving only a dead territory.

Then, on this bloody plain, there was a small tent suspended in mid-air, drifting westward at a steady speed, maintaining the distance from the Dinghuang barrier.

The tent was about twenty miles away from the Chiqiu where Wang Luofanli was, but there was a flat plain in between, so Wang Luoyun could clearly see the appearance of the tent.

It was a very professional outdoor protective tent, and there were several floating lanterns hanging outside the tent that could temporarily stabilize the wilderness, making it safe enough to be in the wilderness. In addition, candlelight was lit in the tent, reflecting the graceful figure of the person in the tent. At this moment, she was dancing in front of a flower plate, and her enthusiastic mood could be clearly seen even from a distance of more than ten miles.

"Good guy, is it so moisturizing..."
