Beauty and the Bodyguard

After successfully mobilizing the enthusiasm of all the newcomers, the bald elder smiled slightly. The original purpose of holding the newcomer trial was not only to train the newcomers, but also to let them help collect herbs to refine strategic elixirs such as the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After all, all the herbs collected by the newcomers during the trial must be turned in. If they are not given a heavy reward and do not let them see the hope of winning, these newcomers will most likely not work hard, which will defeat the original intention.

However, newcomers are newcomers after all. While using heavy rewards to boost their morale, in order to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, some ugly words are still said beforehand.

The bald elder glanced at all the newcomers calmly, and finally said: "Now you all know the rules, but there are three things I still want to emphasize again, lest some idiots among you have thoughts that you shouldn't have."

"First, you can only move around the outskirts of the back mountain. Don't try to touch any restrictions. I guarantee that you will die miserably."

"Second, you only have three days. If you don't come back here before noon after three days, you will also die miserably."

"Third, trials encourage competition. You can rob each other, but you must not kill anyone. If something happens, I will personally take action and make you pay for one life."

Three things, if you violate any one of them, you will die, and you will be murderous.

After saying that, the bald elder stopped paying attention to the newcomer who was frightened by his murderous intent and closed his eyes to rest. As for the two elders beside him, they did not speak from the beginning to the end. Their main responsibility is to protect the back mountain. As for presiding over the trials for newcomers in the Yingxin Pavilion, it is just a small part-time adjustment.

"Okay, everyone is going to find their respective senior brothers in charge to receive the special backpacks from the Back Mountain Palace. After adjusting the condition, you can hit the road. Don't wait any longer!" Hu Yunfeng took over the right to speak at the right time and issued an order.

"Yes!" All the newcomers responded in unison, eager to give it a try.

"Junior Brother Lin, you must be careful after entering the back mountain. There are dangers everywhere, and anything can happen during the trial. Don't be careless. The same goes for Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Qiao." Senior Brother Kubi gave the special backpack to The three people carried them on their backs and warned them worriedly.

Although the bald elder has warned before, and although no one is allowed to cause harm in the newcomer trial, the back mountain is so big that even just the outside is full of dangers. No one knows what will happen. If someone with intentions really wants to kill someone, he may not be needed. If you take action in person, you may kill someone with just a few tricks.

Lin Yi, Xiao Ran, and Qiao Hong nodded. Although they had never entered the back mountain, they were at least heaven-level masters, so they were still wary. In their eyes, the back mountain, a wild forest with an ancient atmosphere, is a holy land for cultivators that contains countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but it is also a giant ferocious beast that chooses people to devour, and there are countless cultivators buried in it. The corpse of a master.

Looking back at the other newcomers surrounding Meng Jueguang, Brother Ku forced himself to lower his voice and said to Lin Yi and the others: "I just overheard them miss a few words, as if they were preparing to join forces to deal with you in the trial. If possible, I suggest that after you enter the trial site, you should first find an opportunity to meet up and act together, so that you can at least take care of each other."

"This..." Lin Yi and the other three looked at each other, all showing embarrassment.

Not to mention, in this trial, newcomers are randomly teleported to a location. It is very difficult to join them! Moreover, if all the time is wasted looking for each other, it will not be worth the gain at all!

The most important thing is that Lin Yi wants to find the Heart-Eating Exquisite Grass, while Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai have their own plans. The three of them can really take care of each other when they act together, but this naturally limits their points.

After all, if three people take a route, the herbs they eventually discover must be limited, so the question arises, can’t all these herbs be divided equally?

If the three people share the points equally, then the final result is likely to be that each person's points are not as good as the others. In this way, it is impossible to get the top three, and ultimately pass by the Foundation Establishment Pill. And if the three people share it unevenly, who should be given more and who should be given less? This makes the problem even bigger!

On the other hand, if the three people go separately, although there is a bit more risk, the reward is also great. In the end, everyone's points will definitely be much better than acting together. At least there is hope to compete for the top three. You must know that the top three The reward is a foundation-building elixir. How could they give up this opportunity so easily!

What's more, the bald elder had clearly warned not to kill anyone before. As long as he was careful, at least his life would not be in danger, and the risk was not particularly great. After all, it was obviously more cost-effective for the three of them to go separately!

However, Xiao Ran and Qiao Hong just looked at each other. Lin Yi usually treats them well, isn't this the time to reciprocate?

If the three of them work together and give all the herbs they find to Lin Yi, then there should be no problem for Lin Yi to take the first place! Thinking of this, both of them felt ashamed of their previous selfishness!

The two said at the same time: "Senior Brother Ku is right, let's find a way to act together. Brother Lin took care of us so much before, so this time I have to fight for you to be the first in the trial!"

The implication is that all the herbs discovered during the operation together will be given priority to Lin Yi. In this case, the two of them are equivalent to voluntarily giving up the trial rewards. This requires considerable determination. You must know that the temptation of the Foundation Establishment Pill is unparalleled for heaven-level Dzogchen masters like them.

Lin Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was very moved by the two people's thoughts, but his most important task this time was to find the Heart-Eating Exquisite Grass. Compared with the foundation-building elixir he planned to refine later, the trial The rewarded Foundation Establishment Pill doesn't matter at all.

And if he acted together with the two of them, not to mention it would be unfair to Xiao Ran and the other two, it would also be an extra burden for Lin Yi himself.

"I appreciate the kindness of you two, but there is no need for this. This opportunity is rare. Don't let go of the reward you deserve. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Lin Yi advised sternly.

"But after all, two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands. If Meng Tong and the others really join forces, it will be useless no matter how many herbs we find in the early stage. They will still be snatched away by them in the end. It is better for us to give up fighting for two to protect one and concentrate on giving Brother Lin takes action, it's safer this way." Xiao Ran thought for a while and Qiao Hongcai also agreed.
