Chapter 3664: Chapter 3662-initial encounter

Although killing was not allowed during the trial, s.n.a.t.c.hing of herbs was allowed. This was how the difficulty of the trial was reflected.

Just as Xiao ran and the other two had said, if the three of them fought on their own, it would be useless no matter how many medicinal herbs they found and how many points they obtained in the early stages. In the end, Meng Tong and the others would still benefit. This way, not only would they gain nothing, but they would also be helping the enemy, which would increase the difficulty of Lin Yis fight for victory.

This was a big problem!

Lin Yi thought about it and took out the map of the outer area of the back mountain that was given to all newbies. He pointed at a place where two streams met,In that case, well act separately for the first two days, but well meet at sanxikou at noon two days later and come back together. Time is of the essence, so dont push it back and forth with me. Lets just decide like this.

In the first two days, they could split up and search for as many herbs as possible to obtain points. It was relatively safer at this time.

This was because even if Meng Tong and the others wanted to deal with them, they wouldnt choose to do it so early. After all, they couldnt kill anyone. Even if they joined forces to beat up Xiao ran and his partner, they wouldnt get any substantial benefits. If they wanted to do something, they would definitely choose to do it at the last moment of their return journey. This way, it would be more convenient to s.n.a.t.c.h the fruits of their labor and maximize their benefits.

As for the meeting two days later, with Lin Yi among the three, even if Meng Tong and the others had the advantage in numbers, they might not be able to take advantage of it. It was hard to say who would break it then!

Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai naturally wouldnt reject Lin Yis offer, and they nodded. After all, Lin Yis plan wasnt only more scientific and logical, it was also more beneficial to the two of them.

Seeing that the three of them had already agreed on a plan, although the bitter senior brother felt that there was still a bit of risk in doing so, when he thought about it, as a cultivator, how could he not take any risks from the beginning to the end? risks were always directly proportional to benefits, and this could not be helped.

Alright then. In short, the three of you must be extremely careful. Dont be careless. Your enemies arent just the other newbies. Dont forget that the back mountain is the source of danger! The miserable senior brother warned.

Lin Yi and the other two nodded. After everything was ready, they went to the square at the back of the mountain with the other newbies.

At this moment, at the starting point, more than a dozen huge flying spirit beasts were ready to go. This was the standard equipment of the rear mountain Palace. After all, they were guarding the entire rear mountain. Usually, they had to rely on flying spirit beasts for transportation. If they were to walk, who knew how long it would take to reach the scene of the incident.

So it was this random distribution method!

Lin Yi finally understood when he saw these flying spirit beasts. He was still wondering how these newbies would be sent to the outer area of the back mountain when he heard the rules of the test, and thought that there would be some teleportation formation or something. So it turned out that they were airdropped by flying spirit beasts!

After all the rookies stood on the flying spirit beasts, more than ten flying spirit beasts whistled into the air at the same time. The scene was spectacular and caused the rookies to cry out in surprise.

After that, under the guidance of the experts from the back mountain Hall, these flying spirit beasts split into three groups and sent the new disciples from the three pavilions to their respective trial areas.

From the perspective of direction, they were completely opposite. This avoided the possibility of the newcomers from the three pavilions crossing paths. Even if they wanted to meet each other, they would not be able to.

After flying for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the newcomers who were standing on the backs of the flying spirit beasts were sent down randomly one by one under the instructions of the experts from the rear Mountain Hall.

Lin Yi made a rough estimate-the two newbies were at least ten miles apart from each other at the drop-off point. Even Pingchuan Avenue would take a long time to travel, let alone this vast forest.

From the looks of it, even if the newcomers had a plan to meet up and work together in advance, it would be difficult to meet others within a day. Generally speaking, it would be good enough if they could meet up after two days.

This distribution pattern clearly had a special purpose. Although the rookie trial encouraged compet.i.tion, it did not want to see vicious compet.i.tion between rookies.

If the rookies were put together from the start, the final situation would likely result in a constant chaotic battle between each other. No one would put their heart into searching for herbs, but instead hope to s.n.a.t.c.h the fruits of others labor from the beginning.

This was clearly not in line with the three pavilions original intention of letting the rookies gather medicinal herbs for strategic storage. And now that they were so far away from each other, at least for the first two days, the rookies would not be focused on killing each other. Instead, they would turn their attention to searching for medicinal herbs. As for the compet.i.tion between them, that would be a matter for two days later.

When both sides had enough points, the compet.i.tion would be more intense, wouldnt it?

Lin Yi couldnt help but smile after seeing through the organizers intentions. This was good-at least for the first two days, there wouldnt be any blind people who would get in his way!

The only problem left was whether he could find the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s. Although the miserable senior brother had said that there was heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s in the back mountain, the back mountain was so big that it was really unknown whether he could find it in just three days. Moreover, even if it was there, it might not be in the outer area. If it was only in the inner area of the back mountain or even deeper, it would really be a pain in the a.s.s.

I hope the situation wont be too bad! Lin Yi prayed silently and jumped off the back of the flying spirit beast at the signal of the back mountain Hall Master.

It was easier for newbies to release the spirit beasts after they were released-they didnt fly too high up, and Lin Yi only needed to reach the top of the tree to reach for them. After he got off, he found himself in the middle of a giant tree.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

After getting off the aerial spirit beast, Lin Yi felt the killing intent coming from behind him before he could even stand still. At the same time, he received the warning from the Jade. He didnt have time to look back and activated his b.u.t.terfly microsteps immediately, barely dodging the sneak attack.

Just as Lin Yi dodged, a crudely made but extremely sharp wooden spear brushed past his clothes and buried itself into the trunk of the tree.

Lin Yi turned around and saw an ape-type spirit beast standing on a branch five to six feet away from him. It was covered in black fur, and although it wasnt particularly strong, the hostility in its red eyes was enough to make people s.h.i.+ver.

The black ape roared at Lin Yi from a distance before charging at him. Its speed and agility surprised Lin Yi.

According to Lin Yis estimation, this black ape should be around Sky Cla.s.s mid phase!
