Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Two: The Absent Autonomous Awakener
One after another, the blue and white frost froze the lush forest.
So everything was silent, and that area was covered in silver, crystal clear like jade.
It looks beautiful and pure, but it is actually a dead place, which is daunting.
"It's really spectacular." Bai Wushang sighed lightly.
After watching silently for dozens of seconds, the electric wings stirred up again and went away again.
After half an hour, Bai Wushang found a human village.
After a sincere visit, I have a preliminary understanding of where I am.
This is the "Changchun Forest" located in the southeastern part of the Dagan Dynasty, near the edge area.
Measure the comparison map, Bai Wushang's mood is delicate.
The Great Shifting Talisman is about randomness. Although he didn't throw him directly into the lair of high-level monsters, his luck was still deviated.
Originally, it took one and a half to three days to return to Shanhai College from Guirenkeng.
Now it is estimated that it will take at least five or six days, and eight or nine days are possible.
Because it is impossible to travel at full speed on the way, it is bound to need to rest and adjust the state.
Especially at the moment, Xiaoci's state is too bad, why should he rest for a long time.
Also, there are some areas on the map that are publicly marked fierce.
Unless you are a master at the level of a mysterious general, or you are free to set foot in it, you are going to deliver food.
The only way to go is to take a detour, which invisibly prolongs the overall course of action.
While planning the route, negotiate with the villagers.
In the end, Bai Wushang spent thirty gold coins and successfully obtained the qualification to spend the night in the small village.
Under the guardianship of Aju, he slept lightly for four hours and recovered most of his mental state.
Then began to practice restoring soul power, and waited quietly.
In the early hours of the morning, feeling almost over, Bai Wushang quietly said goodbye and rode away on the Electric Blade Mantis.
In the next few days, similar operations were basically repeated.
The difference is that occasionally, in inaccessible places, you can only find shelters such as caves and crypts to rest.
Occasionally, I can pass through small and medium-sized cities, sell some low-level materials, and purchase supplies in a hurry.
Time passed, and it was the eighth day in a blink of an eye.
After thousands of rushes, Bai Wushang still failed to arrive at Shanhai City ahead of schedule.
As expected, this day is the day when the Thorns Competition will be held, and all the first-year freshmen will gather together.
There are too many uncontrollable factors along the way.
For example, extreme bad weather, such as agile attack-type complete body that can fly.
Bai Wushang was always in embarrassment and about to be in embarrassment, jumping repeatedly between these two options.
"Huh...it's finally here!"
Just before the sun set, Bai Wushang finally saw the cyan ancient city across the horizon.
The one guarding the gate of the main city was still that middle-aged man with a strong back and prominent muscles.
The two black iron giants in the late stage of the ultimate body were holding oversized steel forks, overlooking every person and beast that came in and out.
"Huh? What a handsome mantis!"
Tie Zhu stopped in the middle of the road, looking at Bai Wushang with a suspicious expression:
"Young man, it looks familiar, are you the so-and-so?"
"..." Bai Wushang, who took off his helmet in advance, looked embarrassed, "You're mistaken, I'm in the first grade."
The defender of the city, called Uncle Tie, was quite famous in the academy.
On the one hand, he has top-notch strength. On the other hand, he is a little face blind, which is said to be the sequelae of taking a certain drug.
In a hurry at this time, there is no time to chat, Bai Wushang hurriedly showed all kinds of passes:
"Well, this is my academy badge, as well as a watch... I have all the proof of identity."
"Oh, sorry."
Tie Zhu put away the iron-blooded aura that was deliberately distributed to deter Xiao Xiao.
Probably not familiar with Bai Wushang, but not embarrassed.
However, he seemed to think of something, stroking his moustache and jokingly said:
"Tsk tsk, I seem to have heard of you, one of this year's autonomous awakeners."
"However, the young man is capable, but the concept of time is not."
"The first-year elimination round is about to end, and you seem to have the potential to become the first self-awakened person to be eliminated because of missing the game in the past ten years..."
As he spoke, Tie Zhu stepped aside and pointed in one direction: "Come on, District 2, Silver Arena, I wish you good luck."
"Thank you Uncle Tie!"
Bai Wushang showed a hint of gratitude, and jumped on the Electric Blade Mantis.
Under the astonished attention of many people, the purple electric light suddenly disappeared.
"What kind of beast is that? It's kind of handsome..."
"I don't know, you ask Brother Tao."
"It seems to be an ancient species... But he said just now that he is a first-year... Are all the freshmen of Shanhai College so good now?"
...
Chasing the wind and electricity, Bai harmlessly uses the gap to activate his personal watch.
This thing is only valid within the scope of Shanhai City, and it is scrap metal if it is a little further away.
Therefore, when you leave the city, you will usually take it off and store it in the storage equipment.
In just a moment, the black circular chip that just lit up vibrated wildly.
Bai Wushang twitched the corners of his mouth and sighed inwardly—as expected!
With his existing connections, perhaps his influence in the academy is still insignificant, but it cannot be ordinary.
After all, he is also a self-awakened one, and he has obtained the Ancient Thunder Species Electric Blade Mantis.
These news, it is easy for anyone who wants to investigate.
The trip to the Goblin Mountains, and the other students I have come into contact with one after another, is the best channel.
Surely, more people will pay attention to him.
And those who had already paid attention to him will only be more optimistic.
Therefore, when Bai Wushang browses the holographic screen, basically everyone who can be called by name and who has been in contact with him is asking him where he is going.
Ding Yue, Jiang Feng, Xue Zilin, An Xiaorou, Li Guo, Shen Anqi, Luo Youyuan, Shabulu, Ouyang Yuan... and so on.
Of course, the most anxious must be Mu Xiaoxiao.
There are more than 100 unread messages sent by her alone.
The most recent one, just a minute ago:
"Although I believe you will not have an accident, but! You have already entered the finals, and you have been judged to be absent! What should I do?! Ah ah ah!"
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Bai Wushang replied quickly.
Almost as soon as the information here was sent, the watch vibrated immediately, and Mu Xiaoxiao's words full of surprises came:
"!!!"
"Scared me! Just come back!"
"Come on, District 2, Silver Arena, I'll be waiting for you at the gate!"
"it is good!"
Five minutes later, Bai Wushang accurately arrived at the so-called Silver Arena with the help of the map function of his watch.
Looking from the air, it was a round fort made of silver-white metal, covering a large area and being extremely imposing.
After a half circle, I found the main entrance.
In the distance, he saw a pretty figure with a high ponytail waving at him.
"Brother Wushang, this way! This way!"
Bai Wushang took a deep breath and quickly dived to land.
"Delayed by some unexpected things, what's the situation now?"
Mu Xiaoxiao didn't answer immediately, Mei Mei carefully scrutinized the man in metal armor who kept approaching.
Until I saw that there were no scars on his exposed face, even though he was a little tired, it was generally fine.
It's not forcing a smile, nor is it taking pleasure in bitterness.
On the face that can be broken by blowing bullets, the smile is restored.
But when she opened her mouth, the smile disappeared, a little distressed, and a little sad:
"Brother Wushang, you're too late, it's already in the finals, Zhu Qin and Situ Chi are PK, the two are competing for the first place..."
