Chapter 547 Tears of the Stone Statue
The rain is falling.
Inside the thatched hut, the light was dim.
When Wu Xian opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a stone statue in a black robe. The statue looked very similar to the God of Land. The biggest difference was that there were two traces of erosion under the eyes of the statue, caused by water droplets.
He passed the test and returned to the thatched hut, where he was sitting cross-legged on a futon, as if the village, tunnel, canyon, etc. he had just seen were all just an illusory dream.
But the cowhide backpack on his shoulders and the incense in his hand proved that everything Wu Xian experienced in the test really happened.
To the left of Wu Xian, there were some people sitting on cushions.
These people all had their eyes closed, some were squinting, some were sweating profusely and looked terrified. They must be taking a test.
Wu Xian looked up and asked the statue: "Do you want to pass on some information to us through this little test?"
The stone statue didn't respond.
"That's right, you're just a stone statue. Stone statues can't answer questions. It's me who's trying to communicate with you."
Wu Xian lifted the tattered curtain and was about to leave the examination room and return to the dormitory when he suddenly felt raindrops hitting his face.
Wow…
Dense raindrops suddenly hit the thatched roof, making crackling sounds. The thatch on the roof was not tight enough and raindrops began to leak.
Wu Xian stood at the door and looked back in astonishment, and saw two lines of raindrops falling on the cheeks of the stone statue from the roof.
It’s as if the stone statue is crying!
"I think I seem to understand a little bit now."
After saying this, Wu Xian walked out of the thatched hut. Before he took the test, there was a drizzle outside, and only the area around the thatched hut was dry.
But now the rain outside was as fine as a ray of sunshine, while the area around the thatched hut was like the Milky Way pouring down. Even the paper figurines of the golden boy and jade girl were wet by the rain!
……
Wu Xian went straight back to the dormitory.
There were no student union members participating in today's quiz, so there were too few statues in the training center, making it difficult to find them. In addition, Wu Xian brought a bunch of things out of the quiz, so after a little thought, he decided not to waste time in the outside world.
When Wu Xian climbed to the ninth floor, he found the atmosphere was heavy, as if a quarrel had just taken place.
Wu Xian put down the cowhide bag.
After looking around, old man Hai Weijiang took the initiative to tell Wu Xian what had just happened.
The thing is actually very simple.
Several new recruits were so hungry that they wanted to go out together to find food, but the only place with food in the training center was the cafeteria, so they wanted to seek help from their families.
When they turned to Ma San for help, the newcomers were mercilessly ridiculed. Their accumulated pressure finally burst out and a war of words broke out.
After hearing this, Wu Xian smiled and took out four large pancakes that could be used as pot lids from his cowhide backpack.
As for the two boxes of canned meat, Wu Xian kept them for himself.
Even though there were only four cakes, they were dry rations for the march. They were heavy and hard. We soaked them in some water in the bathroom and each person was given a small piece, which would make them half full.
With food in their stomachs, both the newlyweds and their families felt better.
Then Wu Xian distributed the bayonets he had obtained to everyone.
Following the principle of taking everything if you have to, Wu Xian had more than twenty bayonets in his cowhide backpack. Even if he gave one to each person, he still had five bayonets left.
After getting these bayonets, everyone, including their family members, was very satisfied. These bayonets themselves might pose limited threat to evil spirits, but when combined with the ability to worship gods, they might be able to play a significant role.
The newcomers got the bayonets and felt that they had the ability to protect themselves. They all felt much better. The atmosphere on the ninth floor became harmonious again. Everyone was talking and laughing, as if they had forgotten the previous quarrel. After Ma San ate, his face looked a little better. He hooked his finger at Wu Xian, motioning for the two to talk aside.
"You should know that even if you give them food, the chances of them surviving are still slim."
Wu Xian raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
Ma San said coldly:
"The ones who caused trouble today are also the ones who have performed the worst in the past few days."
"They must have chosen the 'Fake Gate Test' during the assessment, but you should know that the content of the real gate and the fake gate are the same. With their abilities, can they pass three small tests without dying at once?"
"They can't wait to go out and look for food. I'm afraid it's because they didn't get any credits for the quiz, and they won't be able to go to the cafeteria to eat in the future, so they're so worried about food!"
"Even if you feed them well today, they will die tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It's a waste to feed them all this food!"
Wu Xian looked at him with a little surprise: "Do you think so?"
Ma San frowned and asked back: "Is there anything wrong with me thinking this way?"
"No, you are right to think so." Wu Xian waved his hand and turned away. "But I found the cake myself, so it is my freedom to deal with it as I wish."
After walking a little further away from Ma San, Wu Xian walked to the window, resting his chin on his hand and looking out.
Wu Xian was very conflicted about Ma San.
Ever since the first day Wen Tinghua came to Wu Xian and said that someone had told her to tell him to "see what happens", Wu Xian has been observing Ma San.
Before entering this blessed land.
Wu Xian once encountered an attack by a villain, and in that attack, there were only the remaining indigenous people in a certain blessed land. The reason why that blessed land became hopeless was because a certain family member took away the most important "immortal talisman" in that blessed land.
Creed's 'Yu Rang' experienced that incident with Wu Xian, and I'm afraid that after that, Yu Rang went to find that person.
But he didn't know what to do with this person.
So he managed to force this man to the side of Wu Xian, who was about to attend the blessed land, and used some means to force this man to attend the blessed land.
Afterwards, Yu Rang passed information to Wu Xian through another family member, Wen Tinghua. His purpose was to let Wu Xian judge whether this person should die or live based on his performance in the blessed land!
This is what Wu Xian thought after hearing Wen Tinghua say "You decide".
The family members who took away the magic talisman should be Ma San and his wife, because they were the only two who entered this blessed land inexplicably.
Wu Xian sighed deeply: "Ah, this damn old thing, if he can't figure it out, then he can't figure it out. Why does he pass the pressure on to me?"
He stood at the window for a while and heard someone going upstairs. After waiting for a while, he saw that the person was Xue Chenghe, the white-haired aboriginal who had come to them yesterday to seek cooperation.
The family members and newlyweds gathered again.
Xue Chenghe said straight to the point:
"I have found what you want. It took me a lot of effort to do this, so I need some compensation."
Wu Xian smiled and handed over a bayonet.
"For evil spirits, using weapons, dirty weapons, and iron weapons to attack will all have a certain effect. If I find a way to leave the training center safely, I will definitely tell you."
Other relatives also expressed their opinions. For example, Wen Tinghua gave him a flower that would wither when encountering evil spirits, and Su Mi told him about several dangerous locations in the training center...
These things are not very important, but they help Xue Chenghe survive.
After hearing this, Xue Chenghe also kept his promise.
"I found eight dormitories downstairs where all the people were dead. They were 402, 503, 209..."
