Chapter 157 You stepped on someone's head
Lu Feng watched as the girl in front of him spoke to Xue Tong while using her rusty longsword to knock down each of the swarming enemies that lunged at him.
The girl always wore a relaxed smile, looking less like she was facing a ferocious and cruel monster and more like she was playing a lighthearted game.
"Let's stop fighting... Let's put it up there so the trial participants above can see it." After Xue Lan knocked down the last wave of Fog Divers, the girl turned around and gave Xue Tong a bright smile.
Seeing Xue Lan's smile, Lu Feng felt a sudden alarm bell ring in his heart. Without any hesitation, the young man turned around, abandoned Xue Tong, and ran towards the upper walkway. Halfway there, he even stuck two talismans on his legs.
Xue Tong watched the figure above, which had almost become a blur, and tapped Xue Lan's mind: [He ran so fast!]
"He's a smart guy."
Xue Lan sheathed the Su Jun sword in her hand, and the array plate that Yan Chengxue had made for her flew out from her sleeve.
The five-colored array flags spun and flew out. Xue Lan added two mid-grade spirit stones to the center of the array plate, a pained expression on her face.
Seeing her so stubbornly clinging to it, Xue Tong couldn't help but say, "Since you can't bear to part with it, why don't you just pry off a piece?"
As soon as Xue Tong finished speaking, he saw Xue Lan quickly pry a spirit stone out of the groove in the array plate.
The girl's voice was tinged with laughter: "Actually, I really like you... You always approve of me doing these shady things."
Several black lines appeared on Xue Tong's head.
Are you really unable to tell I'm being sarcastic?
Xue Lan put the spirit stones she had dug out into her sleeve.
"I believe in the male lead!"
The great formation in front of them activated, blocking the next wave of mist. However, because Xue Lan was so stingy, the formation could only last for half a quarter of an hour.
"Let's go find Lu Feng!"
The two transformed into streaks of light and caught up with Lu Feng. The boy had already reached the third level of the plank road above, his face covered in sweat.
The talisman on the boy's leg had lost its magical light and looked completely useless.
"Young friend Lu Feng!" Xue Lan appeared in front of him with a playful smile on her face.
"The grand formation I've set up below can only last for a quarter of an hour at most. During this time, I hope you won't hold back. I'll be waiting for you on the mountaintop."
As she finished speaking, Xue Lan heard the boy in front of her grit his teeth.
If you're angry, then let you be angry!
The girl in front of him turned into a streak of light and flew away again. Lu Feng gritted his teeth, took out two talismans from his sleeve, and reluctantly stuck them on his legs.
Lu Feng understood Xue Lan's thoughts. She wanted to use these hidden dangers to deplete his trump cards. He didn't understand why Xue Lan, a cultivator who had already reached the Golden Core realm, would make trouble for a mere mortal like him.
It can be said that they are opposing everything.
It's also possible that this isn't the case, and it's just wishful thinking on my part. In that person's eyes, I might just be an interesting little toy.
Thinking of this, the boy's eyes filled with anger.
"Xue Lan!"
Having already reached the mountain peak, Xue Lan suddenly heard the boy's voice, which was filled with hatred, and felt a chill run down her spine.
The girl shuddered and asked Xue Tong beside her, "Am I now the first major villain in this story?"
Xue Tong's voice was devoid of emotion: "According to traditional plot developments, your role should appear in the latter half of the protagonist's growth."
"Oh, so what?"
The young woman spoke in a deliberately low voice: "Young man, you're being a bit too hasty!"
Xue Lan found her little system incredibly fun, a gentle smile playing on her lips. She pointed ahead and said, "I feel something's off here!"
Xue Tong looked ahead and saw a large flat area on the mountaintop, not the steep peaks he had imagined.
Before him stretched an endless thick fog, through which Xue Tong could vaguely make out the outlines of some buildings. Dark and dilapidated, they resembled greedy behemoths.
Xue Lan took a step forward, and a "crack" sound came from under her feet.
"What did I step on?" Xue Lan asked, turning around.
Xue Tong walked up and saw a skull at Xue Lan's feet: [You stepped on someone's head.]
Xue Lan immediately understood, and the girl jumped away, saying, "I'm so sorry."
Xue Tong rolled her eyes at her. The white mist in front of her gradually dissipated, revealing a desolate Gobi Desert to the little girl.
On the black sand and gravel stand a series of eerie, dilapidated buildings arranged in a circular pattern, converging towards a huge black pillar in the very center.
Beneath the black sand and gravel lay rows of snow-white skeletons.
The surfaces of those snow-white remains were smooth, as if they had been gnawed clean little by little by something, as white as the finest jade.
Everything was so strange.
【I'm a little scared!】 Xue Tong took a step back and looked at Xue Lan beside her.
Who would have thought that even the usually fearless Wolf King would back down? The girl gave a faint smile and said, "Shall we wait for the people behind us?"
Xue Tong raised both hands in agreement.
The two waited on the edge of the Gobi Desert for the trial participants to come up. The array plate placed below flew back to Xue Lan's hands half an hour later.
"Now we can have some fun with Landwind!"
On the mountainside walkway, a phantom figure was rapidly ascending. Lu Feng's face was covered in sweat, and he had very few talismans left.
The mist-diving creatures below had broken free from Xue Lan's great formation and surged towards the plank road like a black tide.
Lu Feng no longer cared about holding back his trump cards; he put all the magical treasures he had recently acquired on his body and continued running up the mountain.
Leaving aside whether there are other dangers on the mountaintop, Xue Lan is on the mountaintop.
As long as a Golden Core cultivator is willing to take action, these demonic beasts are no match for them.
Unbeknownst to this young man newly entering the world of cultivation, he had unwittingly placed his hopes for survival on someone he had only met a few times.
Moreover, each time it was with an unpleasant cultivator.
At the summit, Xue Lan sat on a black rock, using her divine sense to monitor Lu Feng's situation.
The girl suddenly smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Xue Tong asked curiously.
"I'm thinking... Lu Feng is really lucky."
Are you implying that he was still able to cultivate despite your strict supervision?
Xue Lan slowly shook his head: "His good luck is reflected in the fact that I cannot kill him."
As the girl spoke, a killing intent that did not belong to the current Xue Lan emerged from her body, like a vast and boundless snowfield with a biting wind.
"That's true. If this were another story, the protagonist would be dead the moment he encountered a villain like you!" Xue Tong chimed in. The two remained silent, waiting for the trial participants to appear.
Two hours later, Xue Lan saw the first trial participant.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in a tattered robe, with a huge iron rod slung across his waist. The moment he reached the summit, a wide smile spread across his dirty face.
Then, upon seeing Xue Lan and Xue Tong, he vanished instantly.
Xue Tong and the middle-aged man exchanged a glance, and Xue Tong saw the shock and disbelief in the man's eyes.
I feel a little guilty!
Xue Lan stood up and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't be so gentlemanly."
The young woman stepped forward with a smile and addressed the middle-aged man before her, "I am Lan Xiaoxiao, a rogue cultivator. May I ask how this fellow Daoist is addressed?"
Xue Tong thought Xue Lan was being too familiar with people, but the next moment, she saw the middle-aged man pull out an iron rod from behind him and smash the head of the person in front of him with it.
The little girl looked at the sea of red, her voice trembling:
"what!"
