Although Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had nothing but crossbows and arrows in their hands, the experience of other people made the newcomers dare not say more, and walked behind them obediently and silently.

After several divisions, there were only ten newcomers with green watches left in the center. The young boy among the trialers walked over silently, but he just stood in front of the newcomers without saying a word, so the expressions on the faces of the newcomers behind him were even more dazed than before.

After the six groups of teams were all completed, the trialers could see that the group selection was balanced by the Lord God. Each team had five or six young adults, four or five middle-aged and elderly people, and each team had female newcomers. It seemed fair.

“Everyone, do you think we should go together or separately?”

The fat man was the first to ask the other trialers.

He didn’t really want to cooperate with other people, but seeing that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had already stood together, he felt that it would be a loss if he didn’t find an ally.

The tattoo man really wanted to have a companion to act with, but he was first rejected by Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, and then rejected by the young boy, and he didn’t want to be with the fat man, so he had to ask the female trialer, “Will you cooperate with me?”

The female trialer nodded in agreement.

The fat man had to look at the young boy, who shook his head in embarrassment.

Fatty laughed angrily, turned his head and left, “I’m going by myself! Don’t follow me!”

After taking two steps, he seemed to remember something and then turned back. He took out a few fireworks sticks and distributed them to the other five trialers, “If there is anything important, you can light this and try it out. If others can see it, you can go over and have a look if you want to help, if you don’t want to, let it go.”

After he finished speaking, the fat man chose a random direction and left. When he was walking, he did not forget to wave his hand and order the ten newcomers behind him to follow him. Some of them showed obvious reluctance. The fat man raised his hand in a threatening manner. The newcomers immediately obeyed, and the group gradually left.

“Then we’re leaving too.”

The tattoo man and female trialer discussed for a while and chose another direction. After saying hello to Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, they also left with the newcomers they wanted to protect.

Given that the two men had a softer attitude before, a newcomer behind them raised the question: “Where are we now? Where are we going?”

“Why do you ask so many questions, let you follow along and you’re done, do you want to be slapped?”

The tattooed man yelled at the other party. Although he didn’t do anything, his appearance was so intimidating that the twenty newcomers had to shut up and follow along.

Xia Ruize turned his head and saw that the young boy hadn’t moved, and asked, “Are you acting alone?”

The young boy nodded, then turned around and left by himself, ignoring that he was supposed to protect the ten newcomers, so the ten newcomers either left or stayed in place.

Xia Ruize was stunned. The original intention of his question was to ask the young boy if he was going to bring ten new people ‘by himself’, but he didn’t expect the young boy to simply walk away ‘by himself’.

“What do they do?”

Cheng Huaiqian looked at the ten newcomers left by the young boy, frowned, and his tone was a little impatient. He was very interested in the newbie world, but he was not interested in bringing newcomers at all. In his opinion, the more people there were, the more trouble they would have.

“Anyway… if you bring 20 people, you will also bring them, and if you bring 30 people, you will bring them along. Let’s go with them.”

Xia Ruize casually said, “Guarding a sheep is Guarding, and Guarding a flock of sheep is also Guarding.” Fortunately, he realized in time that it was wrong, took it back, and quickly changed the subject: “Before we leave, we can turn over this carriage.”

Xia Ruize clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone’s attention, he reminded the 30 remaining rookies:

“You must accept the reality as soon as possible, this is no longer a peaceful Blue Star, it is a world with dangerous missions everywhere, if you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself.

Now the first question you face is, what to eat and drink for the next three days? So, people who want to go into the car and search for it can try it, maybe they can find something. ”

“Can I ask, where is this place and what is going on here?”

A young girl stood up timidly and asked weakly, looking at Xia Ruize with anticipation and water in her big eyes.

“You can’t ask! You will always know what you should know, shut up and don’t ask questions you shouldn’t!”

Before Xia Ruize could answer, Cheng Huaiqian had already opened his mouth and answered back fiercely, and his fierce attitude immediately frightened the newcomers.

Xia Ruize looked at Cheng Huaiqian helplessly, and deeply felt that his teammate and the word ” “Pity perfume and cherish jade1” were probably insulated from each other.

“Che, what’s the big deal, do you think anyone wants to follow you?”

Cheng Huaiqian’s fierce attitude aroused the resistance of the newcomers, and there was a low voice of dissatisfaction in the crowd.

Cheng Huaiqian’s eyes were sharp, and he accurately found the provocative person in the crowd, stared at him, and sneered:

“You can go by yourself, now you can, huh, do you dare?”

Xia Ruize looked at the newcomer, patted his teammate on the shoulder soothingly, and then waved his hand to urge the newcomer: “Come and search, we will leave if you don’t.”

“Why do we have to go? The carriage is relatively large and it is easier to be searched. Can’t we stay here and wait for rescue?”

Seeing that Xia Ruize’s attitude was always mild, a middle-aged man bravely raised a question.

“Because there is no rescue at all, we need to find suitable food before you are hungry.” Xia Ruize pointed to the wolf corpse that was gradually turning black on the ground in the distance, “That one is obviously inedible, of course, I’m not against it if anyone wants to try it for themselves.”

In fact, the reason why several trialers led the team away one after another was very simple, just to find food.

If the newcomer needed to eat, the trialer would only need more food to get more energy, but there was nothing in this area as far as they could see.

This was not speculation. When the food and water in the space of the six trialers were locked, they realized that eating and drinking had become the biggest problem at present.

Xia Ruize’s words made all the newcomers silent, and then several newcomers in the crowd bravely stood up and got back into the overturned carriage. They also managed to find three bottles of mineral water, although they all drank half of them with their mouths open, but this was already rare water.

The middle-aged man who asked the question before smiled ingratiatingly and took the initiative to give the mineral water he found to Xia Ruize. He could see clearly that Xia Ruize and the other 5 people were different from them. They accepted the status quo well, and they did not have a watch, but a weapon, it was obviously the best choice to follow the seemingly experienced Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian when he knew nothing about the situation.

Cheng Huaiqian raised his eyebrows and glared at the middle-aged man with a sharp look, inexplicably a little unhappy that the other party tried to please Xia Ruize and try to get closer. But he also understood rationally that this was a very normal social interaction, and there were always people who could see the reality more quickly and make choices that were beneficial to them.

Xia Ruize smiled and shook his head and refused: “You can drink it; I don’t need it.”

Then Xia Ruize pointed in a direction and said to all the newcomers:

“Next, we will go in this direction. We are not very clear about the situation here, so you must pay more attention to your own safety. If there is any abnormality, you can report to us in time. Just call me ‘Xia Team’, this is ‘Cheng team’.”

After briefly introducing the next goal, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian walked together in the direction Xia Ruize pointed. After walking a dozen steps away from the crowd, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian released their amber war horses.

Newcomer No. 30 stared dumbfounded at the two tall and mighty war horses that appeared out of thin air. He only felt that his three views were broken again and again, and he was terrified and didn’t know what to do. It was a dream, after waking up everything would return to normal.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian walked on their own horses in front of them. Their war horses were very close to each other, and they were communicating about their second mission world and subsequent harvests.

Cheng Huaiqian really lived up to the arrogant and domineering impression he left to Xia Ruize. The second mission he participated in was a low-magic world with demons. A group of six trialers, as the warlocks hired by the main family, were responsible for protecting the main family’s son, who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

The original mission was to escort and repel the little monsters who were trying to attack. As a result, Cheng Huaiqian followed the attack route of the little monsters and touched the little monster’s lair, and solved a nest of little monsters with one shot.

Later, Cheng Huaiqian completely used the master’s little son as a bait to attract monsters, and solved the little monsters one after another.

Xia Ruize listened to his teammate´s remarks and felt that he was not surprised. He seemed to be able to see that picture. When encountering an enemy, would his teammate keep their hands? No, he not only wanted to fight on the spot, but also chased after them and fought! If he could fight to the death, he must fight to the death!

If it weren’t for the time limit in the novice world, Xia Ruize really doubted that his teammate would be able to counterattack all the way to the barbarian tent.

So, Xia Ruize was not surprised when he learned that Cheng Huaiqian’s bloodline was [Devil’s First Life], a kind of golden potential bloodline that could greatly enhance the combat power of the body. His teammate might be interested in this bloddline, as he expected.

Xia Ruize was more interested in Cheng Huaiqian’s bloodline ability, there was a skill [Devil’s Coercion], which could control low-intelligence dark creatures, and Cheng Huaiqian was also rewarded to open the spiritual pet space after completing the extended task, so Xia Ruize was very curious about Cheng Huaiqian’s control, what kind of creature could he control?

“It seems to be called the Gorefiend Bull or something. It can help me carry my luggage, which is quite useful.”

Cheng Huaiqian thought for a while before answering, he didn’t value this ability very much, and naturally he didn’t care very much.

“Haha, look at me.”

Xia Ruize felt that he had won by a margin, and proudly released Da Hei and Xiao Hei. Da Hei hung upside down at the hem of Xia Ruize’s clothes, and Xiao Hei shrank in Xia Ruize’s palm. Staring at Cheng Huaiqian with curiosity and fear, they could feel the aura of this human being very terrifying.

Cheng Huaiqian then also released his own Gorefiend bull. A huge bull with black hair and red eyes appeared next to the war horse. Cheng Huaiqian pointed at the Gorefiend bull and Xiao Hei with his finger, and said casually, “Come on, let’s fight.”

Xia Ruize and Xiao Hei looked at Cheng Huaiqian in surprise. The two pairs of similar round eyes inexplicably poked Cheng Huaiqian’s cuteness. He suddenly couldn’t help laughing and reached out to touch Xia Ruize’s hair.

Xia Ruize: ? ? ?

Of course, it didn’t work out in the end. Xia Ruize didn’t understand why the pets between teammates had to fight. He put his hands together to protect Xiao Hei. Cheng Huaiqian could only regret it and put away the Gorefiend Bull.

The Gorefiend bull saw that the ghost bat in Xia Ruize’s hand could continue to stay outside, grievance flashed in the big red eyes, the space for spiritual pets was too small, and it also wanted to wave outside.

Would Cheng Huaiqian care about its thoughts? How was that possible.

After sharing the fun of teasing pets with his teammate for a while, Xia Ruize let Da Hei and Xiao Hei go out to explore the way, while Duan, the Xiang Zhong, continued to mix in a nest of feathers and slept soundly.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were having a good time chatting. The two kept sharing their own experiences and abilities, and they also verified various conjectures from each other’s experiences, but they left the newcomers behind.

After walking for more than an hour, the newcomers in the back finally couldn’t hold it anymore, because the sun had already risen above their heads, and their body temperature had reached 40 degrees. They were so hot, tired and thirsty that they couldn’t walk anymore.

So, a newcomer took two quick steps and shouted boldly: “Two captains, can we rest? We can’t walk anymore!”

Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize were discussing whether there was a better way to clear the second world they had encountered. They were chatting up. Cheng Huaiqian looked at Xia Ruize intently, with an imperceptible gentle smile on the corner of his mouth. Suddenly disturbed, Cheng Huaiqian turned away from Xia Ruize. Looking at the newcomer in the back, his eyes were already terrifyingly fierce, he glanced at the green watch on the other’s hand, hooked his mouth and sneered:

“You ten people with green watches should have been brought by others. Do you know why he doesn’t want you? Because even if you all die, he can still get the survival points rewarded by the main mission. In that case, why bring you with him?

In other words, you are also a burden to us. You are not willing to leave or want to leave. You do not need to report, just act directly. ”

Cheng Huaiqian’s eyes were very cold, which inexplicably made the newcomer who proposed to rest feel fearful. The hand that was originally raised couldn’t help but shrink back. He didn’t dare to say anything, and retreated into the crowd. The other newcomers didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Xia Ruize felt that the starting point of his teammate was good, but sometimes his attitude was too cold and his tone was too hurtful, so he added comfort:

   

“Although we walked for an hour, if you pay a little attention, you will find that along the way, apart from the wasteland under our feet, we haven’t even seen a few weeds, and there are still more than two hours for lunch time. Now, what to eat?

To be honest, if it wasn’t for you, at the speed of the two of us, we could have explored farther distances, but to accommodate you, we can only walk slowly.

Don’t think we speak badly, that’s the truth. When we are hungry, we can leave you alone to survive. When you are hungry, you really can only eat dirt. If you don’t want to die in this desert, you can only keep walking”

Xia Ruize’s attitude had always been gentle and good-natured, so that as soon as he finished speaking, there was a retort from the crowd:

“Then how do you know we’re going in the right direction? Maybe we’re going the wrong way!”

As soon as he heard this, Cheng Huaiqian became angry. With a wave of his hand, a faintly visible black strip rolled up a piece of soil the size of a washbasin and flew straight into the speaker’s face. Scattered into the sky and flying earth, the opponent’s face was completely smeared into a yellow face, and two lines of nosebleeds broke through the earthy face and meandered down.

It was okay to question his bad attitude, but it was absolutely impossible to question the bad luck of his teammate!
