Lord of Nine Stars

The large group of people went all the way north. In the cold Xingling area in winter, there was white snow and dense forests. If there were no snowy night terrors as a means of transportation, it would be really difficult to travel.

No, no, it's July, it's summer.

But it was easy for Rong Taotao to mistake it for winter.

The temperature here is probably minus 25 or 6 degrees, and this is still the temperature in the hot summer. If it is winter,

Rong Taotao shuddered. It was hard for him to imagine what the winter here would be like.

There is no doubt that the further north and closer to the snow vortex, the cooler the temperatures will be.

When a large group of soldiers and horses broke out from a deep mountain and old forest, the students all showed expressions of wonder.

Rong Taotao saw a wall, a towering and magnificent city wall.

The thickness of this city wall is not yet known, but looking at the height, it must be 17 or 8 meters!

Rong Taotao wore orange goggles and used his eyesight to try hard to see this pass clearly. The ancient city wall ran east-west, but there was no end in sight.

Thick dark clouds shrouded the land, and layers of wind and snow also covered the end of the city wall that spread for unknown miles.

More than a hundred cavalrymen slowed down and walked step by step towards the city wall in front of them. Rong Taotao tried his best to sit up straight, exposed his head from behind the soldier brother, and looked up at the writing on the huge city gate.

The three characters are flying and the phoenixes are flying, and the momentum is even more powerful than this level.

"Hundred Regiments Pass".

Rong Taotao is no stranger to this story.

History textbooks focus on describing this "Snowy Night Battle".

The importance of this battle is undoubted. It even determined the integrity of China's territory and laid the solid foundation for China's soul martial career.

That night, more than a hundred regiments from the north launched their force at the same time, pacifying the north overnight and driving the snow realm soul beasts that were rampant in this land further north.

Rong Taotao, including all the students present, as well as the high schools, universities, towns that exist behind the scenes, and even the peace and prosperity of the country inside and outside the customs, the reason why all of these exist is the result of the forty years ago that our ancestors worked hard and fought hard.

in this world,

Nothing is ever rightfully yours, including freedom, property, and even life.

There are only those things you strive for and protect.

China has thousands of years of history, and the order of everyone's appearance is not determined by themselves.

Obviously, 40 years ago, during the difficult years when the soul beasts invaded and the vortex in the sky opened up, some people stepped onto the stage of history and shouldered an almost unbearable burden.

They defended the northern land with their charging figures and mountains of corpses.

Year after year, the sun and the moon alternate, and history moves forward.

Fifteen years ago, Rong Taotao was born.

Fifteen years later, he stood in front of this majestic pass, looking up at its character and imagining the stories of those years.

A single glance is worth more than a thousand words in a book.

And this is just the first wall.

"Ha." The soldier gently pinched the horse's belly, and Rong Taotao hurriedly grabbed his lapel with one hand, exposed his head from his side, and saw the huge city gate opening to both sides.

Finally crossing the wall, to Rong Taotao's expectation, he saw a town, just like an ancient city.

But this is a military camp, and there is no bustling street scene.

The children obviously wanted to visit the city, but the group moved forward, rushing directly from the south gate to the north gate.

After crossing the entire city, when they arrived at the north gate, the gate was already open.

Rong Taotao frowned slightly and looked at the almost endless snowfield outside the city gate. He couldn't even find a suitable place to stay.

For the level, this is of course excellent. No matter there is any trouble, those snow soul beasts who try to break through the level will be discovered early. But for the children who are taking the assessment here, this kind of terrain is not very good. friendly.

Among the supplies provided by the school, there were only sleeping bags and no tents.

Of course, even if there is a tent, it probably won’t be able to pitch in this kind of terrain. The strong wind will blow and everything will be gone.

"dismount."

While thinking, Rong Taotao suddenly heard the words of the soldier brother.

Rong Taotao did not hesitate and hurriedly dismounted, but he heard a "click-click" sound behind him.

The students hurriedly looked back, only to see the generous city gate slowly closing!

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the city gate closed heavily.

For a time, there were only a hundred students and a hundred soldiers left under the towering city wall.

Swish Swish Swish

The white horses under the soldiers' crotches quietly disappeared, turning into traces of soul power and integrating into their bodies.

The scene was eerily quiet, no one among the soldiers spoke, and the students were at a loss.

Finally, a soldier who looked like a captain spoke: "There are only two ways to return to this city.

First: Exit the assessment and report to your caregiver.

Second: In 7 days, this city gate will open to welcome you home. "

The voice of the soldier captain resounded at the foot of the city wall, accompanied by the sound of wind and snow: "The assessment goal is to survive for 7 days. Now, the assessment begins!"

Rong Taotao took a few steps forward, feeling the thickness of the snow while looking around.

Xue Ye Jing can walk on flat ground on the snowfield because of its special soul skills, but Rong Taotao has no soul skills at this time, and the snow has already covered his ankles. Such an environment will inevitably interfere with his performance.

Seeing a familiar person, Rong Taotao raised his hand high and hooked the person.

Rong Taotao has a very clear positioning of himself. As a junior soul soldier who doesn't even have a natal soul beast, his scarce soul power can't help him much.

The only thing Rong Taotao can rely on is his own skills.

Rong Taotao, whose survival is a problem, must find a partner. For him at this stage, he does not have the capital to survive alone. Only cooperation can achieve a win-win situation.

Lu Mang, who was wearing camouflage in the thick snow, covered his bamboo pole figure. When he saw Rong Taotao waving, he walked over without hesitation.

Obviously, Lu Mang is not a middle-aged boy, and he has no illusions about surviving here alone for seven days.

Soon, the students under the city wall gathered together in twos and threes.

But at this moment, a lonely figure took steps and walked step by step into the wind and snow.

He was not alone. Far behind him, there was a soldier guarding him, and he was also the soldier captain who had just given the order.

All the students were shocked, who is that person?

So courageous?

Is it really awesome, or really stupid! ?

Rong Taotao looked at the lonely figure and fell into deep thought.

Because that student has the iconic short white hair.

Rong Taotao knows who he is!

Xu Taiping!

A pure soul beast, and also a highly intelligent member of the Ice Soul Yin clan!

For humans, this place is not suitable for survival, but for Xu Taiping, at least within the scope of one wall, this should be his back garden.

Rong Taotao pursed his lips, turned to look at Lu Mang, and said, "That boy is very adaptable to living in the snowfield. In short, we can hold each other's arms, but I have only met him once and are not familiar with him. What do you think?"

Lu Mang asked: "What does it mean to be suitable for surviving in the snowfield?"

Rong Taotao leaned close to Lu Mang's ear and said, "He is a very special snow realm soul beast, in human form, and has intelligence that is no less than human beings, and can even practice soul methods and soul skills."

Lu Mang was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked solemn, hesitated for two or three seconds, and said, "Are we in danger?"

"Yeah" Rong Taotao thought for a while and nodded silently. There is indeed a chance.

Although there are soldiers guarding him around, if Xu Taiping wants to enter Songjiang Hunwu University and get a good ranking, he can use his home field advantage to attack other students, as long as he doesn't cause death.

For this assessment, Songjiang Hunwu University not only did not mention the assessment standards, nor even the assessment rules.

Elimination by nature is one thing, students eliminate each other, of course it may also happen.

It's better not to take this risk.

"Taotao." A charming voice came from behind.

Rong Taotao turned around and saw two women and a man.

Sun Xingyu, Li Ziyi, and an unknown girl.

Sun Xingyu wore a red cotton hat, red gloves, and colorful goggles that blocked her beautiful big eyes, but her voice was very recognizable.

The girl next to her was petite, and her large goggles were also colored, so her face could not be seen clearly for the time being.

"This is my roommate, Zhou Ting." Sun Xingyu introduced, "Are we together?"

Thighs are relative.

After watching her boyfriend fight with Rong Taotao for three years, Sun Xingyu certainly knew how good Rong Taotao was in fighting.

In this ice and snow, in an unfamiliar environment, Sun Xingyu, Li Ziyi, and Rong Taotao's three years as classmates suddenly made their relationship unbreakable.

Lu Mang: "Know?"

Rong Taotao: "Classmates."

"Yeah." Lu Mang hummed softly. He didn't know what he was thinking and didn't speak again.

Rong Taotao signaled to Lu Mang and said, "My roommate, Lu Mang, let's go. Let's go first."

A team of 5 people should be almost there.

Watching the five-man group break away from the main force at the base of the city wall, five soldiers also gathered together, hanging far behind a few people.

Rong Taotao tilted his head and looked at Li Ziyi and said, "Where is your roommate?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Taotao suddenly realized: "Ah, that's right, you can't make any roommates with your personality."

Li Ziyi's voice was as cold as the wind and snow: "You talk too much."

Sun Xingyu: "Hey, what time is it? You two should stop fighting each other and talk about our survival ideas."

Rong Taotao: "The snow forest can protect you from the wind and snow, and there may also be some natural caves."

Sun Xingyu hurriedly said: "But it is very likely that there will be soul beasts living in the forest."

Rong Taotao explained: "We must find a place to stay that is protected from the wind and snow. It is also necessary to enter the snow forest. We will even have to face the snow beast."

Rong Taotao pursed his lips and continued: "Otherwise, we can dig a hole directly under the city wall and survive on the supplies provided by the school. That is the safest place.

But with such performance, it is difficult for us to pass the assessment, let alone enter the junior class of Songjiang Hunwu University. "

Rong Taotao's ideas are very clear and his goals are very clear.

After the words fell, no one in the team spoke, seeming to agree with Rong Taotao's judgment.

Unknowingly, Rong Taotao seemed to have become the "little captain".

The team of 5 people moved forward slowly in the snowfield. Rong Taotao took out the compass from his backpack and sped up, saying: "Let's speed up. Before dawn, we must find a snow forest or other suitable place to stay." , otherwise, we may end up here tonight."

Lu Mang said calmly: "You are very confident in your own strength."

Rong Taotao grinned and said, "You all settled in Aihui City, then rode on Xue Ye Jing and rushed to Songjiang Hunwu University, right?"

Lu Mang did not respond, but Zhou Ting on the side nodded: "Yes."

Rong Taotao said: "We are all the same. We endured the biting cold wind and bumped on our backs with snowy night terrors for eight hours."

As he said that, Rong Taotao turned to look at Lu Mang and said, "We have worked hard and gone through many times, not just to be eliminated here."

Hearing this, the corners of Lu Mang's mouth raised slightly.

A pair of eyes hidden behind the goggles looked at Rong Taotao quietly.

At this moment, Lu Mang seemed to understand the reason why Rong Taotao was lucky enough to receive Si Huanian's advice.

The world is big enough to accommodate all kinds of people.

Lu Mang believes that when one person asks another person why he came to Xuejing from the bustling Shanghai city, and then insinuates the other person's beliefs,

The questioner himself must possess a certain characteristic that he is asking about.

It was just that the two met for the first time and had a brief exchange of words, but did not discuss this topic.

Everyone in the team sped up and caught up with Rong Taotao. Lu Mang looked at Rong Taotao's back silently and tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand.
