Chapter 3663: The rules of the trial

Translator: 549690339

After successfully rousing the enthusiasm of all the newcomers, the bald elder smiled slightly. The original intention of organizing the newcomer trial was not only to train the newcomers, but also to let them help gather medicinal herbs to refine strategic medicinal pills like the foundation building pill.

After all, all the herbs collected by the newcomers during the trial had to be handed over. If they were not given a heavy reward and did not let them see the hope of victory, these newcomers might not put in the effort, and that would go against the original intention.

However, newbies were newbies after all. While using a huge reward to boost their morale, in order to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, some ugly words had to be said first.

The bald-headed elder indifferently swept his gaze over all the newcomers and finally said,””Now you all know the rules, but there are three things I have to emphasize, in case some of you idiots have thoughts that you shouldn’t have.”

“First, you can only move around in the outer area of the back mountain. Don’t try to touch any restrictions. I promise you will die a terrible death.”

“Second, you only have three days. If you don’t return before noon after three days, you will die a terrible death.”

“Third, the trial encourages competition. You can steal from each other, but you can’t kill anyone. If anything happens, I’ll take action personally and make you pay with your life.”

Any one of these three things would cost him his life, and he was filled with killing intent.

After he finished speaking, the bald elder no longer paid any attention to the newbies who were a little dazed from his killing intent. He closed his eyes and rested. As for the two elders beside him, they didn’t say a word from the beginning to the end. Their main responsibility was to guard the back of the mountain. As for the welcoming new pavilion’s trial, it was just a small part-time job.

“Alright, everyone, go to your respective senior martial brothers in charge to receive the special back basket from the back mountain Hall. After adjusting your condition, you can set off. Don’t dawdle!” Hu Yun Feng took over the authority to issue an order.

“Yes!” All the rookies acknowledged the order in unison, all of them rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, eager to give it a try.

“Junior Brother Lin, you must be careful after entering the back mountain. Danger is lurking everywhere, and anything can happen during the trial. Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Qiao as well. ” The miserable senior brother worriedly reminded them as he carried the specially made baskets on the three people’s backs.

Although the bald-headed elder had already warned them before that it was strictly forbidden to kill in the newcomer’s trial, the back mountain was so big that even the outer area was full of danger. No one knew what would happen. If someone really wanted to kill someone, he might not need to do it personally. As long as he played some small tricks, it was possible to kill the person.

Lin Yi, Xiao ran, and Qiao hongcai nodded. They’d never been to the back mountain before, but they were all Sky Class Masters, after all-they still had to be careful. In their eyes, the wild forest behind the mountain was full of ancient aura. Although it was a Holy Land for cultivators that contained countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it was also a giant fierce beast that chose to devour people at the same time. No one knew how many corpses of powerful cultivators were buried in it.

He turned around to look at the other newbies around Meng jueguang and lowered his voice to Lin Yi and the other two.”Just now, I accidentally heard them slip up a few words. It seems that they are preparing to join forces to deal with you during the trial. If possible, I suggest that after entering the trial ground, you find an opportunity to meet up and act together. This way, at least you can look out for each other.”

“This …” Lin Yi and the other two looked at each other, troubled.

Putting aside the fact that the trial this time was to send the newbies to a random location, it would be very difficult for them to meet up! Moreover, if they were to waste time searching for each other, it would not be worth it!

The most important thing was that Lin Yi was focused on finding the heart-devouring exquisite grass, while Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai had their own plans. The three of them could take care of each other if they moved together, but this naturally limited their points.

After all, if three people walked the same path, the herbs they found in the end would definitely be limited. Thus, the problem came. These herbs couldn’t be divided equally, right?

If the three of them split the points equally, then the final result would very likely be that everyone’s points would be inferior to the others. This way, it would be impossible for them to get into the top three and pass by the foundation building pill in the end. And if the three of them didn’t split it equally, who would get more and who would get less? This way, the problem was even bigger!

On the other hand, if the three people went separately, although it was a bit more risky, the return was also great. In the end, the points of each person were definitely much better than acting together. At least they had the hope of competing for the top three. It should be known that the reward for the top three was foundation establishment and golden core. How could they easily give up this opportunity?

Moreover, the bald elder had already clearly warned them not to kill anyone. As long as they were careful, at least they wouldn’t be in danger of dying, and the risk wouldn’t be too great. In this way, it was obviously more cost-effective for the three of them to split up!

However, Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai looked at each other. Lin Yi had always treated them well, so wasn’t this the time to repay him?

If the three of them worked together and gave all the herbs they found to Lin Yi, then Lin Yi should have no problem getting first! At the thought of this, both of them felt ashamed of their previous moment of selfishness!

“Senior brother ku is right,” the two of them said at the same time.”Let’s think of a way to work together. Brother Lin has taken care of us so much in the past. No matter what, he has to fight for the first place in the trial for you!”

In other words, all the herbs they found during the mission would go to Lin Yi first. This way, the two of them would be giving up the rewards. This required a lot of determination-after all, the temptation of the foundation pill was unparalleled for Sky Class Masters like them.

Lin Yi shook his head with a bitter smile. He was touched by their intentions, but his most important mission was to find the heart-devouring exquisite grass. Compared to the foundation pill he was planning to make, the foundation pill was nothing.

If he went with them, it would be unfair to Xiao ran and Lin Yi, and it would be an extra burden to him.

“I appreciate your kind intentions, but there’s no need for that. This is a rare opportunity, so we can’t let go of the rewards we should fight for. Otherwise, we’ll regret it for the rest of our lives.” Lin Yi said seriously.

“But it’s still hard to fight against four hands with two fists. If Meng Tong and the others really join forces, it’s useless no matter how many herbs we find in the early stage. In the end, they’ll still take them away. It’s better for us to give up on the two-on-one fight and focus on helping brother Lin. This way, it’s safer.” Xiao ran thought for a while and said. Qiao hongcai, who was beside him, also agreed.
