Chapter Forty-Six: The Fork of the Tree......
When he began to run around the island, Han Xiao's resentment towards the Imperial Navy finally began to deepen. The reason why he chose to participate in this trial was not to prove how strong he was, but to put it bluntly, he wanted to take a ride with the wind. In the territory of today's Tianning Kingdom, only the Imperial Navy that came for conscription would send warships to the waters of Andi.
Now the result is really embarrassing.
On the one hand, he has indeed reached the open sea, and he has entered the Andi Sea without mistake. But the sea area of Andi is huge, even far beyond the borders of the entire Tianning Kingdom, and in such a situation, it was a matter of looking for a needle in a haystack to find the third uncle, and now that he is trapped on this island, the situation has of course become more tricky.
If nothing else, there should only be more than 300 of them on this island now, and the young monks from Tianning Kingdom, judging from the scale of this island, it is actually nothing to have more than 300 of them. Moreover, the Imperial Navy didn't even explain whether there were any other dangers on this island, and they didn't know what kind of kraken or powerful alien monk Han Xiao was hiding here.
Up to now, the only thing Han Xiao could know was that after such an arrangement by the Imperial Navy, it was absolutely impossible for this island to calm down now. Intrigue is already the bare minimum, and perhaps in the battle on this island, the number of monks who actually die at the hands of the Kraken may be even fewer than at the hands of their own people.
Although Han Xiao is stupid, just because his cultivation qualifications are not good does not mean that he is stupid, after all, a monk like him is from a wealthy family, and he naturally sees this kind of thing very thoroughly. The Imperial Navy naturally had special intentions in making such an arrangement. After all, if it is just to select monks who can fight, then simply recruit people with good cultivation and rich combat experience in various places.
However, the Imperial Navy's recruitment in the feudal countries was never just to find someone who could fight, to be precise, they were not looking for someone who could fight well, but to find someone who could lead troops to fight. At the end of the day, what they want is an officer, a talent.
On this trial island, more than 300 people can deal with this challenge in many ways, and if they can work together to kill the invading kraken, it will naturally be the best. But even if you don't cooperate, it's no problem, anyway, as long as you can leave alive in the end, and the person who successfully meets the assessment standards is definitely a talent, but when the time comes, you need to screen which aspect of talent you have, maybe you are born with outstanding leadership ability, or you are born with a bad stomach and are very good at fishing in troubled waters.
But anyway, no matter what the situation is, Han Xiao doesn't think that he can be called outstanding in any aspect.
This is what gives him the most headache.
"Could it be that this trial also depends on luck to win?" Thinking of such a situation, the chagrin in Han Xiao's heart became even more. In any case, he had to find the guardianship, and when he thought about it, it seemed that the conditions were even more demanding to the point that he had to be the captain of the guardianship. Otherwise, how could he control that guardianship to sail around in the vast waters of Andi.
It is as difficult as climbing to the sky, this is Han Xiao's most realistic judgment of the possibility of achieving his goal this time. It is conceivable that the guardianship is definitely not difficult to find, the Imperial Navy cannot be bored enough to bury a warship in the soil where there is no clue at all, the only possibility is that the guardianship will be found soon, but the battle around the guardianship will definitely seem extremely fierce.
After thinking about it, no matter how he thought about it, Han Xiao thought that this battle was inevitable, and if he wanted to get the opportunity to board the ship in the end, he would inevitably need to show enough combat power, and even if he did, it might not be useful. On the way here, Han Xiao already knew that on the Shenwei ship they were on, there were several Chen family members who were assigned together when they were assigned, and on the way here, these Chen family children had also developed a small circle of their own.
Although their small circle may not be very solid, and the number of people is not necessarily too large, at least the people who have a team now are definitely stronger than a guy like Han Xiao who fights alone, and once they start to grab ships, the difficulty will definitely be greatly increased.
Now, even Han Xiao, who was full of confidence before the trip, couldn't help but start to hesitate, on this trial island, would he really have any hope of success?
Just as Han Xiao was thinking about these things, a violent breath fluctuation suddenly came from the north, which instantly made Han Xiao extremely surprised, and subconsciously wanted to communicate with Brahma to ask what was going on, but he was stunned to find that Brahma had now become as if he had no breath at all, and this was the first time Han Xiao had seen such a situation.
Originally, the situation in the distance made Han Xiao feel very nervous, but he didn't expect that there would be this matter of Brahma again, although Brahma has always been mysterious, and most of the time he is in a state like an old ghost, but it is really the first time that the posture like this seems to have no breath has appeared.
"Brahma, what's wrong with you?" Han Xiao couldn't help but ask in the sea of knowledge, but he never got any response.
And at this moment, Han Xiao suddenly felt that his right arm was extremely itchy, and he raised his arm to look at it, and Han Xiao found that it was his right arm, which had already shown traces of demonization before, and now there was a new change. After that mysterious dream not long ago, the boring skin that appeared on the director's own arm now seemed to have become a life of its own, and the boring skin was constantly squirming, looking very disgusting, so disgusting that Han Xiao's scalp was numb, and he endured the fear in his heart Han Xiao didn't make a move to directly pick off the skin.
"What the hell is going on?" Looking at the changes in his arms, and subconsciously looking in the direction of due north, Han Xiao suddenly realized that the situation here seemed to be much more complicated than he expected.
In the end, Han Xiao couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart anymore, and began to walk in the direction of the north. Gradually, the longer Han Xiao walked in the forest, the thicker the cold sweat on his forehead. As a result, just after a stick of incense, the cold sweat left on Han Xiao's forehead had even wet his collar, and his back was now soaked.
The reason why this was the case was because Han Xiao finally found out that this place seemed to have come to him before. Or rather, to be precise, I seem to have been here in a dream. That dream is naturally the magical dream that I had not long ago when my body had just appeared demonized. In that dream, I entered a mysterious forest, and the biggest difference between that forest and ordinary forests was that the flourishing and withering were so closely integrated. As a result, right now, Han Xiao once again saw this forest full of contradictions, but unlike last time, this time it was no longer a dream.
Even in fact, not long after he walked in here, Han Xiao had a faint illusion that he didn't seem to arrive here in the illusion last time, but as if he was walking here in real time, just like now. Although Yiqiē seemed so incredible, Han Xiao had to admit that it seemed to be the case.
In this mysterious forest where life and end alternately, and peace and decay can get along harmoniously, in addition to Han Xiao's sense of déjà vu, he can always really feel that his strength seems to be able to be improved to a certain extent in this forest, as if there is some power in the depths of this mysterious forest that attracts him, and now he is going inside step by step, that is, because of this force that attracts him, he gives himself too many hints.
A strange face suddenly appeared in Han Xiao's mind, this is an extremely ugly face, the reason why it looks strange is because this face seems to grow on the trunk of a big tree, at this moment Han Xiao naturally thought of the tree man he met in the dream, or the dryad. Thinking of this, Han Xiao subconsciously wanted to control his right hand and arm to start demonizing, and then cast a dozen vines to attack together, but there was no reaction.
Suddenly, Han Xiao finally heard a clear sound of fighting not far ahead, and after listening carefully, he could distinguish that one side should be a human monk, and the other side might be a demon beast, as for whether it was a kraken or not, it was not very clear. In the sound of the fight, among the voices that Han Xiao vaguely heard, there was a voice that was extremely heavy, sounding as if it was a huge monster constantly roaring.
Han Xiao cautiously sneaked over there, in this case, no matter what kind of battle happened in the distance, it must not have much to do with him, after all, he actually does not have any partners in this trial island, as for whether there is an enemy, this is another matter, roughly speaking, among the monks on this trial island, except for the fact that it is really a family and has a good relationship before, then it should be generally classified as enemies.
Soon, Han Xiao rushed to the edge of the battlefield and saw the situation in the distance. As a result, this look made Han Xiao's eyes widen. At this moment, right in front of his eyes, there should be about forty or fifty monks besieging the three demon beasts, but although there are many enemies, those three demon beasts seem to be very brave, and for a while, those forty or fifty monks have never taken advantage of the slightest.
This situation greatly exceeded Han Xiao's expectations, but he was quickly relieved. He still only stays at the level of the younger generation of monks, in Han Xiao's subconscious, he thinks that the people who can come out of the trial this time can be called young and handsome, not to mention the rare opponents among the younger generation, they should already be the best, but forty or fifty monks besieged the three demon beasts, but the other party prevailed, such a situation is really unacceptable.
But what made Han Xiao feel the strangest was that in this battle, as a spectator, he didn't know which side to support.
The three demon beasts are three-headed tree demons, the three-headed tree demons are very large, and they are about the height of two adults when they stand up, but the body of the tree demon is not thick, but the branches on their bodies are the best weapons, when fighting against these monks, although some tree trunks will be destroyed by the attacks of the monks from time to time, but these tree demons don't seem to care about this "small injury" at all, and they are still as steady as a rock and continue to confront these monks in front of them.
It stands to reason that when Han Xiao saw this scene, no matter how much resistance he had to those monks in his heart, he should subconsciously have the same hatred for these human monks, even if he didn't show up to fight with them in the end, but at least there shouldn't be any different thoughts.
But what made Han Xiao himself feel extremely surprised was that when he saw the human monks fighting against the Dryads, Han Xiao's truest thoughts were that he began to worry a little about the safety of these Dryads, and at this time he would rather see the Dryads win, rather than the human monks winning.
"How can this be, is it possible that my mind has also begun to be demonized?" Seeing such a situation, Han Xiao's face was full of doubts, but his heart was full of uneasiness.
If this is really the case, Han Xiao himself doesn't know how to deal with himself now, this is a very strange psychological change, on the one hand, Han Xiao is still extremely clear in his heart, he is still a human being, although his body is demonized, he is definitely still a human, and after his calm analysis, he also knows that if he makes a move, he should also help those human monks defeat the dryad. But the "subconscious" is often the most accurate.
Subconsciously, what Han Xiao wanted to help most was those Dryads, which was what he was most worried about now.
Fortunately, despite the entanglement in his heart, Han Xiao at least knew that at this time, he needed to wait and see, whether it was to help the Dryad or the monk, this was just an idea, and it didn't need to be put into practice.
It's just that when Han Xiao looked at the battle in front of him and kept thinking, some situations on the battlefield still made Han Xiao feel a little bad. In the middle of the battlefield, Han Xiao saw a more familiar face, it was Zhao Gangdan, who made him feel crying and laughing before, and was somewhat close.
Just now, Han Xiao couldn't help but be a little distracted when watching the battle because of some thoughts in his heart, but now he finally realized why this battle seemed so entangled. Although it looked like forty or fifty monks were besieging the three tall dryads now, in fact, in the midst of the melee, a considerable number of monks always shrank to the rear, and despite the shouts of killing, in fact they were only attacking like dragonflies.
Seeing this scene, Han Xiao's already not too good mood became even worse. Somehow, maybe it's because of his background after all, even after meeting Brahma, he can now be called a young handsome, but in the bottom of his heart, Han Xiao still looks down on those so-called young handsomes who are self-righteous day by day and like to look at people with their nostrils.
Maybe it's really because I was bullied too badly back then, and I don't like to be in the company of these people, so I don't like to see any dirty things these people do, such as at this time.
Of course, there was another reason for Han Xiao's sudden departure, that is, he felt that there seemed to be danger coming from behind him. Sure enough, not long after he left, in the position where he had just been, there was an even taller dryad active. If Han Xiao really turned his head to look at the place where he was hiding just now, I don't know how he would feel.
This suddenly moving dryad even wished that it was in the position where Han Xiao's ass was just now. It's just that this dryad didn't join the battle group immediately after it appeared, but watched the battle that was taking place not far away as if it was a lively scene.
This dryad is similar to the three dryads who are fighting on the battlefield not far away. But after all, there is still one biggest difference, that is, the body of this dryad now looks withered, compared to the thick branches and luxuriant branches and leaves of the three dryads in the distance, it looks like a dryad that has completely decayed. It's just that at this time, this withered dryad who seems to have reached the end of the road, but there is no dead silence on his face, but a strange look of joy, and he mutters: "It seems that it is really the legendary person." ”
Han Xiao didn't know what was going on in the place where he was hiding just now, he would suddenly make a move just because he vaguely sensed that there was danger around him, and subconsciously rushed out just to make himself safer. Of course, there is another reason, that is, Li Badao is a little angry after all, but the situation in front of him.
Han Xiao suddenly rushed into the battlefield, his appearance startled many young monks on the battlefield, after all, it was the time of battle, and the sudden intervention of an outsider would naturally make people nervous. However, after seeing that it was Han Xiao, many people's expressions became a little strange. After all, among their group of people, there are still a lot of rumors about Han Xiao, and there are many people who know Han Xiao, in the eyes of these people, this trial, if you want to say that the most likely to die, may be Han Xiao, after all, a guy with broken meridians has to come to such a place to test, not looking for death.
But just when these people thought that Han Xiao would fail miserably as soon as he came on the field, and some people even withdrew a distance in order to see this scene, people saw that Han Xiao almost didn't use people's subtle techniques, but just seemed to slam a punch on the trunk of a tree demon with his own strength, and then people heard the tree demon let out a low mournful sound, as if it had been cut down, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Seeing this scene, many people couldn't help but be stunned, this situation was indeed too subversive, just now they really didn't notice any spiritual power fluctuation aura, and then the tree demon fell down with a bang, looking at this scene, these people couldn't help but secretly guess, could it be that Han Xiao really could get such a Cheng dù just by relying on the power of his body?
However, when those people were stunned, Zhao Gangdan looked at Han Xiao with a look of surprise, and said with a big grin: "Big tree fork, why are you here?"
