Chapter 57 Accidental Temporary Loss (Part 2)
With the repeated launch of the crossbows, the sky began to become dark with the huge sound of water waves. The result was about to come out.
The last day of the dragon boat race ended like this. At night, there was no way to hunt beasts, and then the ferocious beasts were preying on humans.
Dragon boats came back unwillingly, and Chen Zhining and the others were also very nervous because they didn't know how many fifth-level ferocious beasts had been hunted by the demon clan.
They could only do their best, but the success rate of Bei Xiaoya to stop the demon clan was actually not high.
Bei Xiaoya arrows are limited to the limit and cannot be shot randomly. Especially in the final stage, the ancient cave cold sky is very agile, and Bei Xiaoya has rarely succeeded.
When the Lielong returned, the joy was thunderous, and the students applauded warmly, and people kept coming up to pat their shoulders and giving them thumbs up.
"The backbone of the human race!" someone praised loudly.
The Grand Historian and Director Cai Xun came over together, and everyone's cheers gradually fell.
The three demon clan, led by Hantian, the ancient cave, also came over, with a sense of arrogance that soared into the sky. He was a little sympathetic to Chen Zhining, and at this time he was angry. He looked at Chen Zhining contemptuously and still said: "The mantis is like blocking the car!"
Chen Zhining had tried his best, but was provoked by Hantian of Gudong at this time. Instead, he smiled calmly and said, "Let's see the result."
On that huge stone tablet, the hunting results of various teams are still changing.
This is not the Hongshan Eliminates Beasts. Most of the time were first-level ferocious beasts, and they did not involve exchanges between ferocious beasts of various levels, so the stone tablet could be quickly reflected.
And this time, from the second level to the fifth level, and at the last moment, both the Lielong and Jielong were hunting very fast, and the stone tablet could not be "calculated" for a while.
Everyone looked at the changing numbers and names of light on the stone tablet, and they were extremely nervous for a moment, and many people's breathing was stagnant.
Finally, the light gradually dimmed, from back to front, the sorting gradually stabilized. But at this time, even the other dragon boat contestants did not care about their rankings, but stared at the top two.
The hunting results of Lielong and Jielong are still changing, and new numbers are added.
"The Lielong is coming!" Suddenly someone shouted, and as expected, the light on the stone tablet moved, and the Lielong suddenly jumped to the top, and the hunting record continued to change, and finally it was frozen on the "two thousand one hundred and sixty second-level ferocious beasts".
Everyone cheered, but Chen Zhining's eyes quickly dimmed. Bei Xiaoya suddenly felt the young master holding him tightly to do it. She was stunned for a moment and turned to see that Chen Zhining looked disappointed, but subconsciously pinched something and wanted to grasp the lost victory.
Because Chen Zhining saw it, the light of the Jielong, ranked second, was still flashing.
The call came to an abrupt end, because the light of the Jielong flashed, and suddenly surpassed the Lielong and rose to the first place!
"this"
The final hunting result of Jielong was "two thousand three hundred and twenty-eight second-level beasts".
Both of them were converted into second-level ferocious beasts for final statistics.
"Hmph" Qingtangyan sneered, without any unnecessary words, her expression had already despised all the human race around her.
Hua Media Rao breathed a sigh of relief, patted her towering chest with her little hand, and said subconsciously: "I was really worried just now, and I thought I couldn't win."
Hantian of Gudong felt that he should maintain the demeanor of the winner. He smiled slightly and said to Chen Zhining: "Sorry, we won. But you are very outstanding, and we have seen your hard work and talent."
Everyone was silent and was hit hard. They never expected that they would fail so hard.
Wen Yongqiang and Lei Qing couldn't help but want to sarcastically, but were held back by Chen Zhining. The result was destined. Since the opponent did not sarcasm, they would be able to afford to lose as the failed party.
He said lightly: "Congratulations."
As for other words that praise the winner, Chen Zhining's personality will never be able to speak.
Taishi Ah also had no choice but to go forward: "I announce that the winner of the county school in this dragon boat competition is Jielong! The ancient cave is cold in the cold sky, waiting for the end of the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony, you can come to the county school and take away your seven-elephant sword."
As soon as he announced, Chen Zhining finally felt empty in his heart, as if something had been lost.
"Oh," he sighed secretly.
Mr. Han came forward first, patted Chen Zhining on the shoulder, and comforted him: "You are a good person, don't be discouraged, you have a brighter future."
Some people also said: "Some small setbacks will be beneficial to your growth."
Chen Zhining responded briefly for a few words, and everyone could see that he was in a low mood and did not bother him. Chen Zhining pulled Bei Xiaoya and said goodbye to everyone and left.
After getting on the carriage, leaving the noisy land by the lake, and walking out for more than ten miles, he ordered: "Stop, I'll go down and have a walk."
Chen Zhong, who was driving the car, said: "Young Master, it's going to be dark. Let's go back to the city as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be danger."
Chen Zhining opened the car door and walked out of the car without saying a word. Chen Zhong and Chen Yi looked at each other and felt helpless. The two thought about it and found that this was the first time Chen Zhining failed since his practice.
Bei Xiaoya followed Chen Zhining honestly. The mountain road was silent, and the sound of insects cries came from around him, and occasionally the sound of birds returning to their nests broke through the air.
The wheels were busy, and two lackeys followed from afar.
Chen Zhining walked quietly for a while and felt much better.
He suddenly turned around and smiled at Bei Xiaoya, mocking himself, and seemed to be talking to himself: "When did I not afford to lose so much?"
In the past, when he fought with other dandy people in Qidong County, he did not win every time. In fact, at that time, he could only be considered half the winner or half the winner at most.
But since he began to practice, he has indeed had smooth sailing and never had any setbacks.
He smiled and said, "Actually, it's really like the person just said, some setbacks are good for growth."
He stretched his body, and he was quite tired when he fought hard today. This laziness seemed to shake off the fatigue and the depressedness of failure. Chen Zhining said to Bei Xiaoya: "Actually there is no danger. Recently, it's Dragon Boat Festival, and beasts are hunting everywhere. It's nothing if we go back late for a while."
Bei Xiaoya nodded, still wearing a big mask. She looked at the surrounding mountains and forests and felt a little familiar, but familiarity did not mean "kindness".
Bei Xiaoya was a little scared and subconsciously approached Chen Zhining.
Chen Zhining was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
Even if Bei Xiaoya could speak, he might not be able to explain clearly what was wrong. Tens of miles away from them were the outer edge of the glacier valley. The cold air was so cold that only some ancient pine trees were growing.
The day of work finally ended. The coolie miners were exhausted and trembled with cold. They squeezed into a ball by the bonfire. Several monks who had just started pushed the cart with hot medicine soup on it to the miners.
After drinking the medicine soup, the miners seemed to feel better before they could start eating.
The monks pushing the cart looked at each other, feeling a little reluctant, but couldn't say anything. These decoctions could not really help the coolies, but they just forced their bodies to stimulate their potential so that they could work hard.
But even if they still have sympathy, the sect has made such a decision and they can do nothing.
Since Bei Xiaoya left, it is strange that more and more people have died of frozen death in the mine. Tianxu Pavilion thought of a solution, but finally found that if they really extend their lifespan, it would be too expensive, so there was such a medicinal soup made with ordinary medicinal materials.
If you die, buy another batch of coolies again. The price of coolies is much cheaper.
"This place is really evil." The monks murmured secretly.
In a stone house in the mine, Qiao Jingzhen, who is responsible for the entire mine, was a major repair in the mid-stage Xuanzhao Realm. In Tianxu Pavilion, it was highly valued by the pavilion owner, so he was entrusted with an important task to supervise the Glacier Mine. This is one of the most important sources of income for the entire Tianxu Pavilion.
A subordinate came in and sighed, "Sir, eighteen more died today, and two more seem to be out of reach. I guess I can't survive today's midnight. In this way, there should be twenty."
Qiao Jingzhen frowned, and put down the hot tea that had already been brought to her mouth, and she was not in the mood to taste it.
The subordinate hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, doing this will hurt the heavens. If one day we ascend to the fairy world, the heavens will repay the evil debts we have committed today!"
Qiao Jingzhen glared at him fiercely. I was in a bad mood at first, so I deliberately didn't think about these things every day. You might as well give me a special reminder.
"Go and arrange the miners' meals better." He waved his hand irritably: "Tell everyone that you must not deduct anything. Let these coolies live a better life in their last days."
"There are only these things we can do. These are the meanings above. What can we do?"
The subordinate nodded. He knew in his heart that he was about to go out to arrange this when a scream suddenly came from outside.
But Qiao Jingzhen and his men were not moved. People were used to death every day, so what else could they make a fuss?
"You go and have a look. If someone dies again, just clean up. You don't need to report me."
"Yes." As soon as his subordinate opened the door and was about to walk out, a black shadow suddenly passed by. The late Xuanqi realm cultivator, who was left with only two legs standing at the door!
Qiao Jingzhen's hair suddenly rose, and a strong sense of crisis came. A ray of light flashed on his body. The third-level defensive array plate he carried was activated. His whole person suddenly turned into a beam of light and knocked open the roof and killed him.
The entire valley was in chaos.
"Ah" screams kept coming. He saw from a high altitude that his monks fell down one by one, and all died miserably.
"What is that!" The voice was filled with horror. To be continued.
Chapter completed!
