Above the gray fog

Two figures flew over from a distance.

When they saw Lin Xiaoxiao covered in injuries in the pit, they immediately descended and landed next to her.

One of them asked with concern, "Classmate, are you okay?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was still immersed in the conversation with Heigu when she suddenly heard a voice and realized that there were two people standing behind her.

She turned her head slightly and saw two people, one was a tall young man with a handsome face, and the other was a shorter middle-aged man with tight muscles and a somewhat uninhibited smile on his face.

The tall man quickly took out a small pill from his waist and handed it to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Take it. It will help your injury."

His tone was gentle. Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, looked at the pill for a moment, and finally swallowed it.

"I...it's okay."

Lin Xiaoxiao said, her voice still a little weak.

"What's going on here?"

The short middle-aged man frowned and asked, scanning the wreckage of the battlefield around him.

"I was fighting a very powerful alien god, and then it exploded." Lin Xiaoxiao said.

The tall slender man nodded, "We'll discuss the specific matters outside. We'll take you back first."

After saying that, he and the short man supported Lin Xiaoxiao on the left and right, and took her to fly away from the trial site.

They led Lin Xiaoxiao through the passage and came to an office. The decoration of the room was simple, but it exuded a sense of majesty and solemnity.

The person sitting in the office was none other than Jiutian. She raised her head and looked at the three of them sharply.

One of them stepped forward to report.

"We found her at the exit of Trial Site 1073. She was in a large pit nearly 10 meters deep. On the edge of the pit were the body parts of a Sequence 9 Outer God."

Jiutian nodded slightly, "Well, you go and do your work. I'll talk to this student."

She motioned for the two of them to leave and turned to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Jiutian's eyes were like those of a hawk, with a hint of sharp scrutiny, "Normally speaking, when students participate in trials, whether they return or not, there are no special cases where people are sent to look for them."

"But you are very special. If you don't say anything else but your talent, it would be a pity if you died in the trial."

"The normal time to pass the primary trial is 20 to 40 minutes, and you stayed there for almost two hours. Can you tell me what you encountered?" Although Jiutian's tone was calm, there was a hint of curiosity.

She knew Lin Xiaoxiao's strength. For her, she could chop vegetables and cut melons all the way through the opponents she met at the primary trial site. She might be able to find the exit directly in less than ten minutes. But now, she was delayed. for two hours.

Lin Xiaoxiao seemed a little timid, thinking that she had committed something. With Jiutian's comfort, she briefly told her previous experience.

Hearing this, Jiutian fell into thinking.

"I encountered a Sequence 9 Outer God. The Outer God self-destructed after being injured... Could it be the Outer God's self-destruction soldier? This kind of thing should appear on the battlefield, not in the trial site..."

"Okay, I understand the specific situation. You can go back and rest first." Jiutian said, taking out a jade pendant from the table and handing it to Lin Xiaoxiao, "The trial every six months is equivalent to a basic examination. In other words, it is a competition. Since it is a competition, of course there will be corresponding prizes. The quality of the prizes is related to the order of leaving the trial site. If you come out so late, the prize will not be with you. However, I have a personal gift for you. you."

Lin Xiaoxiao took the jade pendant and felt that it was as warm as jade and exuded a strange energy.

"This...is this?"

Jiutian smiled and said, "This contains the special ancient martial arts technique of my Jiuqu clan, which can increase the flexibility of the joints. You are good at close combat, so this ancient martial arts technique should be suitable for you."

"Thank you, thank you." Lin Xiaoxiao quickly bowed and thanked her, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"You don't need to thank me, you deserve this. Being able to escape from the Sequence 9 Outer God's offensive has proven your ability." Jiutian said with a hint of appreciation in his tone.

"In the Tower of Ivory, the only thing you have to do is to keep getting stronger, make good use of and cherish your talent. Next is a month's vacation, don't be playful, and consolidate what you have learned in the past six months."

"Yes." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly.

"Go ahead."

Lin Xiaoxiao returned to the dormitory according to the terminal's navigation. As soon as she opened the door, there was a slight sound of opening the door upstairs and downstairs.

When she went upstairs, she happened to meet the senior sister in the room on the right who poked her head out, looking a little panicked.

"Sister...sister, what are you...looking at?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"Xiaoxiao is back, it's nothing, it's nothing." The senior sister quickly smiled to cover up her unnatural expression, and then quickly closed the door.

Lin Xiaoxiao bit her lips and was about to tell her that the pill they gave her had been used up, but the other party's door was already closed and she could only swallow her words.

She opened the door to her dormitory and lay on the bed, thoughts racing in her mind.

After lying there for dozens of seconds, she suddenly turned over, took out the black bones from her waist, and placed them next to her.

"Gu...Tou, can you...still talk?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice.

"meeting."

The vague voice sounded in her mind again, as if separated by mountains and rivers, it seemed distant and weak.

"You saved me again." Lin Xiaoxiao said gratefully.

"Saving you is not free. The scraps you gave me before are considered as payment in advance, but don't give me scraps from now on. I want to eat something else."

Black Bone's voice said impatiently.

"Eat...what to eat?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"'Bai', can't you condense 'Bai'? Give me half of the 'Bai' you condense every day, which will just increase your proficiency in condensing."

Heigu said naturally.

After thinking for a while, Heigu added, "Don't worry, I won't eat you for nothing. You can ask me any questions in the future."

"You want to eat 'Bai'." Lin Xiaoxiao murmured to herself, then stretched out a finger, and a hazy white light condensed at her fingertips.

"Come closer."

Lin Xiaoxiao slowly moved her finger closer to Heigu, and the white light was gradually decomposed and injected into Heigu.

This process lasted for five minutes until Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little exhausted.

"Half at a time is fine, don't give it all to me." Heigu was sucking comfortably, and suddenly found that Lin Xiaoxiao's state was a little wrong, so he stopped the action quickly.

"I'm fine, you can suck more." Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, her face a little pale.

"Bai can recover naturally very quickly. You have overdrawn it all at once. What else should I eat?" Lin Shan said unhappily.
