Alien world

Chapter 378 36. Difficult Test
"I feel a little unwell... as if I've been cursed."

Theolofis, whose head was covered in ashes, was anxious.

"The illusion given to you by the bottom nest." Someone replied duplicity, "Fortunately, there are eight of us..."

"Ten..." Amy said suddenly, "Counting the wild dog and the rat man..."

"No, it's okay, we are not from the bottom of the nest!" Teolophis stammered, "There are two more earth elements, there are twelve of us!"

"How do you count as a bottom nester? Come to the bottom nest? Survive in the bottom nest? If you survive in the bottom nest, how long do you count as a bottom nest person? Do earth elementals count as bottom nest people?"

The mage makes them good at analyzing the law with wisdom, and the emotion makes them panic and analyze the law with wisdom.

Ignoring the teammates who were scaring themselves, Annan and Alice looked at the small town in the distance where nursery rhymes were floating.

There are still people alive in the town...they are ahead of the Academy that is killing in Bottomhive.

"Do you know this curse?" Teolophis was still asking the wild dog.

"My lord, I have never heard of..."

Whether it's a curse or a nursery rhyme, you'll find out when you go to town.

As they approached Little People's Town, some bottom hives who were sleeping outside the town appeared.Most of these figures are young people wandering or lying in the wilderness, and their young faces have not yet faded away from the yearning for the small town...

A few young men were holding rocks and blocking their way, using primitive weapons to fight primitively.

...But it has been contaminated by the cruelty of the bottom nest.

"Go away!"

The wild dog walked ahead proudly, and the young people who were being beaten fled away one after another, hiding in the corner to lick their wounds.They can smell who is annoying and who is not.

"Why are they out of town?" Amy asked.

"Look at their age, they were all kicked out of Xiaoren Town when they grew up."

The rubble outer wall of the town has emerged, and the guards stand in front of the exit. Their thin bodies are covered with fat clothes, and they wear large helmets. The stone spears they hold fit their body shape.

Annan inexplicably thought of his ministers, generals and princesses.If he hadn't experienced everything in Breeze City, Annan might have become the king of children, but after experiencing a lot, Annan has already matured.

"Stop! The capital of Lilliputian is ahead!"

Two boys crossed stone spears together: "Who are you?"

"us……"

As soon as Theolufis opened his mouth, Annan stood up and said, "I am the lord of New Star Moon Bay, and I bring news to your country. A group of evil foreigners are preparing to attack you."

"Are you envoys? You want to go in and pass the test!"

"What test?"

"Hide and seek...a test!" the guard boy almost barked.

Annan raised his head proudly: "My hide-and-seek can't even find a country's ministers and generals."

Alice interrupted their childish behavior: "The enemy...evil strangers will arrive at any time. You'd better inform...the king first."

"No! You must pass the test!"

"How to start?"

"Go to the proving ground."

The guard boy opened the gate, and the nearby Bodhives watched longingly.

Annan and the others were led into the town of little people in this way. The straight-chested boy guards walked in front. The shacks on both sides of the road were so low that the eaves were not as high as Theophilus, which was the tallest. They seemed to have entered A horde of dwarves, only here are children, and chasing and rowdy children running past singing "Ten Bottommen."

The laughter and laughter from the suppressed bottom nest made them feel strange, and a question arose spontaneously: how does the little town, who seems to have no power, rely on to protect itself?
"This is the proving ground!"

They came to an uninhabited hut, and the guard boy stood up straight in front of a dirty girl, "Report, they are messengers, and they are going to take part in the test to see the king!"

"Let's get started!" said the dirty girl excitedly.

The guard boy talks about... the rules of the test: as long as the girl does not find him within the time limit, he will pass.

"Annan..." Alice reminded him.

"According to the rules, this is the way to gain the trust of Little Town. Don't worry." Annan explained, "You don't think I want to play hide-and-seek, do you?"

Alice was noncommittal.Her doubts made Annan very guilty, and asked other people who participated.

The wild dog and the little girl do not need to participate, and Alice does not participate, but the two earth elements participate-they are the key to Annan's victory.

"Don't waste magic power, they can't catch me."

Annan asked them to hide casually, and the girl lying on the wall counted: "99...98..."

Theophilus and the others got into the shed, and Annan asked the earth elemental to dig a hole in front of the boy guards and hide himself in it.

"Three...two...one!"

The girl raised her head, first glanced at the people standing not far away, and got into the shed.

After a while, a contestant came out of it, and the first one to be spotted left him crestfallen.The girl continued to search from room to room, and Theophilus and the others were discovered one after another. The penultimate one was Amy. He seemed a little unhappy, muttering "give me another chance, she will never find it" and returned to the team .

It took only 3 minutes to find everyone except Annan, and there were 7 minutes left.

But 5 minutes passed, and the girl who went in and out repeatedly never found the last person.

The guard boy expressed anxiety and wanted to speak out several times, but when he couldn't help it, Alice blocked him: "Don't break the rules."

"I...I just..."

However, the girl still noticed a place with little snow, but why would someone hide in the ground?
When the time was almost over, the girl who was no longer relaxed shouted: "Did you cheat?"

"No."

Amy deliberately said loudly: "We are messengers, you are insulting us!"

"I'm sorry..." The girl pursed her mouth, "I can't find it."

"So you lost?" Alice asked, and after getting an unreconciled answer, she said, "Annan, come out."

Large earth elements gather sand and stones, revealing Annan hidden underground.

"You are really good, you almost found me..." Annan's comfort made the aggrieved girl feel better, "I have passed the test, can I see your king?"

"I'll take you there."

Following the girl, they came to a deep pit like a basin, where lay a huge pale bone.Not a keel...the bone of some kind of monster?Alice thought, but didn't feel the fluctuation of magic power.

The girl walked up to the bone, turned around and raised her dirty head: "I am the king, what do you want?"

Everyone was not surprised by her identity... The guard boy and the children on the road respected her very much.

"I am the lord of New Star Moon Bay. When I passed by here, I learned that a group of evil robbers were preparing to attack you. We are here to help you defend yourself against the enemy."

The "king" happily wanted to make Annan a duke, but Annan declined.

"Okay..." She finally found the person she couldn't find.

At this moment, they suddenly felt the ground under their feet tremble.

Here they are.
