This protagonist is obviously very strong but extremely cautious

Since it is a designated target assessment, it is very important to choose the route.

Zheng Tuo turned around and took out something like a magnifying glass from his backpack.

This is a special magnifying glass that he asked a cultivator to refine for himself.

The function is the same as a normal magnifying glass, except that the magnification intensity can be automatically adjusted.

The highest level can reach a hundred times the power of a microscope.

Zheng Tuo held a magnifying glass and searched for something on the ground frame by frame.

After a while, the target was finally found.

There were rows of fresh footprints.

It looked like there were many people heading in the same direction, so the footprints were very messy.

Following the path that others have taken is obviously the safest and least dangerous way.

It's not very comfortable to follow someone else's path and let someone else be your guide dog.

Zheng Tuo actually had a plan.

His goal is simple, that is, to complete the assessment intact and join the Luo Xian Sect.

As for the others, they are beyond my consideration.

Following the footprints, we walked all the way for a day.

As he had guessed, he followed the footprints without encountering any danger.

The journey was smooth and it was as easy as traveling in a primeval forest.

Having said that.

Zheng Tuo did not relax at all.

There are two wind-chasing talismans always attached to his thighs, ready to run away at any time.

Be highly focused and always alert to the surrounding mountains and forests.

He was afraid that a ferocious beast would suddenly appear and kill him.

After all, this is the assessment period, so there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

Look at the time, the sun sets in the east, and it’s getting late.

Zheng Tuo had to stop.

Traveling at night is inherently dangerous, especially in this primitive forest. The risk factor is at least ten plus signs.

While it's still dark, let's find a secluded safe house to talk about.

Be familiar with the road and build a safe house.

Later, Zheng Tuo took off his backpack.

A backpack is not an ordinary backpack, it is a simple space storage device.

Because he is not a cultivator, he can only use this crude storage device.

You can't be like the immortal cultivators who can hold a large number of items in a small bag.

He took out a hundred explosive talismans from his backpack and carefully buried them nearby.

A first-level explosive talisman, powerful enough to injure a first-level Qi-refining stage cultivator.

It is the only offensive talisman that ordinary people can use.

After placing a hundred explosive charms near the safe house.

Zheng Tuo was still worried.

Continue to take out one hundred alarm charms from the backpack.

Turn the nearby 100-meter range into an early warning area.

If any creature enters this area, he will receive a beep, beep, beep alarm reminder.

After getting the alarm talisman, Zheng Tuo felt much more at ease.

the other side.

In the primeval forest two days' journey away from him.

"Everyone rest where you are. It's too dangerous to travel at night. We'll be on our way at dawn tomorrow." Wang Ze directed everyone.

"Just rest like this?"

"That's right! Why are you sleeping!"

"No, there is grass all around, and there is no dry place. You can sleep like this all night without catching a cold."

"Not only is it grass, but there are also all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. You might get sick if you sleep there overnight."

Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with the current situation with one sentence.

They didn't bring any tents or anything like that, and they even brought very little food.

The current situation is that I am hungry and sleepy, and I have to take the assessment, which is literally killing me.

"Everyone, please get over it. After all, it is an assessment, and it is normal to endure some hardships."

Damn it!

If it weren't for the purpose of winning over people's hearts and laying the foundation for the future, I wouldn't bother to care about you.

A bunch of trash, just resting in the open air and just complaining about everything but others, trying to become a god.

Wang Ze cursed in his heart.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

The sound of wolves howling echoed in the mountain forest, and instantly, everyone was awake.

"It's just a short sleep. If I go to sleep, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sunshine tomorrow."

"What a suffering!"

"Just bear with it."

Everyone was struggling to stay awake, gathering together to keep warm and having trouble falling asleep.

On the other hand, Zheng Tuo.

After entering the safe house.

Take out the prepared bacon, cabbage, green onions, miso, steamed buns, and clean water from your backpack.

The food is mediocre, just give it a try.

After all, this is the assessment stage, so you can’t ask for too much.

After the assessment is over, I will eat something good to make up for it.

Eat and drink enough.

Zheng Tuo took out a clean bedding and laid it out.

Use a preheating charm to cover the bed with heat and lie down comfortably on the bed.

ah……

I have to say that after walking for a day, he was indeed a little tired.

However, err on the side of caution.

On the left side of the pillow, there is a smoke charm.

On the right side of the pillow, there is a sharp dagger.

After finishing it, Zheng Tuo fell asleep peacefully.

A night of silence.

The second day.

"ah……"

Zheng Tuo yawned and got up early.

Maybe he was used to sleeping in a safe house and was in good spirits.

First check the surroundings for traps you have set.

After confirming that the traps have not been passive, put away all the traps and use them next time.

According to yesterday's plan, continue to follow the footsteps left by the people in front.

the other side.

After not sleeping all night, Wang Ze and the others forced themselves to get up.

All of them were listless, like eggplants beaten by frost, their heads drooped, and their whole bodies were in bad shape.

"Everyone, work harder. When we get to Sunset Mountain, even if we complete the assessment, we will be disciples of the Luo Xian Sect from now on, and we will also be an immortal."

Wang Ze continued to feed everyone chicken soup.

Everyone had no choice but to drink chicken soup, which was better than nothing.

With dark circles under his eyes, he dragged his tired body and continued to explore the road ahead.

at the same time,

They were two days away from the rear.

Zheng Tuo walked lightly, enjoying wild flowers and mountain scenery.

Feeling the beauty and harmony from nature along the way, I felt indescribably comfortable.

have to say.

The air quality in the Eastern Region is much better than in the previous life.

When you inhale it, it turns out to be sweet.

Thank God, thank Mom and Dad.

in this way.

Zheng Tuo traveled during the day and rested after setting traps at night.

The journey was smooth and no danger was encountered.

Until after the fifth day of assessment.

Zheng Tuo's expression was serious, and he felt troubled when he looked at the messy footprints in front of him.

The road ahead diverges, with a rough estimate of six forks.

what to do?

Of the six paths, which one is the most dangerous?

After thinking about it, there is only one most prudent way.

That means walking every road.

Although it is time-consuming, compared with being able to successfully complete the assessment, it is worth wasting some time.

Zheng Tuo did not choose the six paths randomly.

Instead it took nearly an hour.

Use a magnifying glass to analyze which road has the most people walking on it.

Relatively speaking, the more people walking on the road, the safer it is.

Um!

After determining the route, Zheng Tuo saw that it would be dark in less than eight hours.

Just to be safe, we'll leave tomorrow.

Whatever you do, you must not be in a hurry, but do it step by step steadily.

Xiu Xian asked, how could it be that easy?

If you are not careful, you may die inexplicably at any time.

With this idea in mind, Zheng Tuo had a delicious dinner.

Then I climbed up an old tree in a good mood, lay on the branches, sipped tea and admired the beauty of the sunset.

The end of life is like the sunshine in front of you, which will eventually escape into darkness.

So the result is not important, what is important is every minute, every second, every bit, every bit of experience.

Those painful and happy days are proof that you are alive.

I know that one day I will forget that I was standing here, looking out at the last dance of the setting sun.

But I believe that something has left an indelible mark on my soul.

Zheng Tuo wrote down this passage in his diary.

Collect the diary carefully and carry it with you.

Return to the safe house, lie down on the comfortable bed, and sleep peacefully.

"How far is the damn Sunset Mountain?"

Wang Ze looked unkempt, and the handsome young man had turned into a senior beggar.

Behind him was a group of guys who looked even more depressed.

No danger was encountered.

Just traveling alone has exhausted this group of people.

The second day.

Zheng Tuo got up early.

I stretched my muscles, washed my face, went to the toilet, and had breakfast.

Well prepared, let’s go.
