King of the Fairy City

Day 4, early morning.

It was light, and the whole island was still shrouded in the morning mist. The visibility was very low, and it was gray and hazy a few feet away. Only the outline of the island in the distance could be seen.

According to the experience of the past few days, it would take at least an hour for the mist to dissipate.

But many students on the island knew that this was the most dangerous time on the entire island. Many sneak attacks and counter-sneak attacks occurred when the visibility was the worst.

Even in the middle of the night, the moonlight was clearer than the misty white fog.

At this time, many student teams would choose to stay in their camps, set up various ambushes inside and outside the camps, and meet the adventurous enemies at any time.

However, many monks took advantage of this opportunity to migrate long distances on the island to a safer place. Their previous place may have been exposed, and staying in the same place all the time was very risky.

Many powerful student gang alliances like to launch raids on surrounding teams at this time.

. .

At this time.

A team of five students was walking quickly in the vast white fog, migrating along the edge of the island towards the northwest highlands of the wild island.

They did not dare to walk in the center of the island, because there were three powerful student team alliances in the center of the island, which were Lou Jiejun, Bai Xijun, and Ren Haiping, who ranked in the top three of the Qingyun Immortal Academy's potential list.

These three powerful city lord students each gathered more than 10 or 20 city lord students to engage in a big melee in the open area in the center of the island.

For these three immortal cultivation families and clan children, getting the official city lord qualification is a foregone conclusion. What they want to compete for is the first place in the current graduation of Qingyun Immortal Academy, which is the greatest honor.

Other city lord students of scattered forces did not dare to participate in the melee in the center of the island.

This team of cultivators sneaking in the vast white fog is different from most of the student teams of Qingyun Immortal Academy.

The students of Qingyun Immortal Academy, whether they are the city lord students who are the leaders or the assistant students who are the bodyguards, are generally not very old, usually around ten to twenty years old, and there are very few bodyguards who are over thirty years old.

Most of the city lord students are children of aristocratic families and are generally not very old. The assistant students who are qualified to participate in the final assessment and follow the city lord are all confidants who have to grow up with the city lord students, so they will not be too old.

In this team, except for the young monk who is the leader, the age of other assistant students is almost no less than thirty years old.

There are even two people in their fifties or sixties, which is very strange. One is dressed in the clothes of a master, and the other is dressed in the clothes of a general manager. This is very rare among all the students.

The five people are divided into two groups, several feet apart. One person in front explores the way, and the four behind follow.

The team moves forward cautiously, and the speed is not fast.

"Crack!"

With a sharp and crisp sound, the old man dressed as a master who was traveling with the young monk accidentally stepped on a dry branch. Although the sound was not loud, it was very harsh in such a quiet morning.

The five people were startled almost at the same time and stopped.

"Master Hou, be careful. If you make a sound, it will easily alert other monks around!"

The middle-aged monk immediately whispered.

"It's just a branch. Is it such a fuss?"

Master Hou's face was a little ugly, and he muttered.

"The monks with sharp ears and eyes can hear any slightly louder movement within a few miles. Who knows if there are other monks around us?"

The middle-aged monk said in a deep voice.

"Okay, stop arguing! It's right to be careful."

The leading young man waved his hand a little helplessly, his eyes fell on Master Hou who had caused trouble, and he showed dissatisfaction.

"Young master, the fog is too heavy, I was only concerned about the surroundings, and I didn't pay attention to my feet for a while!"

Master Hou arched his hands and said weakly.

"Forget it, this is a small matter. We have been walking for nearly half an hour, and we are probably not far from our destination. Let's take a break first, and wait for the fog to dissipate before setting off."

Another old man said.

"Okay, Uncle Cao. Let's rest here and set off again. This is a forest, and maybe we can find water. Brother Gui, go find some water in the woods."

The middle-aged cultivator walking in front nodded and said to a dark and strong man.

This middle-aged cultivator is He An.

And the young cultivator is Zheng Yiqing.

In the past year at Qingyun Academy, Zheng Yiqing's life has not been easy.

In order to allow him to enter Qingyun Immortal Academy, the Zheng family spent a lot of family savings, which has been broken. In addition to providing a small amount of spiritual stones for cultivation every month, they can no longer provide him with more financial resources. Everything can only rely on Zheng Yiqing to find a way.

Zheng Yiqing has been worrying about the selection of his assistant cultivator.

The assistant cultivator is the most important force around the city lord cultivator.

According to the course for the city lord students, a qualified assistant monk must at least meet two conditions: absolute loyalty and outstanding ability in certain aspects. In addition, he must be as young as possible, the same age as the city lord students.

It is not easy to find a suitable assistant monk who meets these two requirements in Qingyun Academy.

The Zheng family is just a small family that has just been formed. There are only a few monks in the family, who are either Zheng Yiqing's elders or peers. They naturally do not want to become Zheng Yiqing's assistant monks and bodyguards.

Among Zheng Yiqing's entourage, the only one who meets the requirements in terms of qualifications and strength is He An. He An is not his servant. He An only promised to escort Zheng Yiqing all the way to the East China Sea to find immortals, and he could leave at any time afterwards.

Even so, Zheng Yiqing still provided the Vitality Pill to let He An become an immortal cultivator in order to retain He An to continue to assist him.

Zheng Yiqing set his sights on the ordinary assistant students of Qingyun Immortal Academy. Among a thousand ordinary auxiliary students, Zheng Yiqing could not find a monk who was willing to follow him. Because the Zheng family does not have enough strength to make these auxiliary monks in Qingyun Immortal Academy willing to be loyal to him.

Out of loyalty considerations, Zheng Yiqing finally chose one of his own, Butler Cao, an old servant who was older and had no more ambitions, and gave him the Vitality Pill to help him achieve a breakthrough.

In addition, he could not do without Master Hou for advice, so he also included Master Hou as an auxiliary monk. Although Master Hou doesn't have much talent in cultivation or other aspects, his combat power is also very low.

This graduation assessment on Wild Island has always relied on Master Hou's cunning and cunning tactics to deal with other student teams on the island.

Otherwise, their team would have been wiped out long ago. From this perspective, Master Hou is still indispensable.

"Master Hou, how sure are you of entering the top ten this time?"

During the break, Zheng Yiqing couldn't help but ask Master Hou.

"When I first landed on the island, it was less than 10%. Now after three days, I estimate that I have a 30% chance. If I can occupy that cliff and survive for another three or four days, I estimate that the young master has a 50% chance of entering the top ten! "

Master Hou took out a brocade handkerchief, wiped his forehead and said.

"If you wait a few more days, you only have a 50% chance? Don't you know that it would be extremely difficult to stay on this island for one more day?"

Zheng Yiqing said a little dissatisfied.

"Young Master, with our strength, it would be good to have a 50% chance. It depends on whether the battle between Lou Jiejun, Bai Xijun, and Ren Haiping will affect us.

If our whereabouts were discovered by these three groups of monks, there would basically be no luck and we would have to surrender.

In any case, we were lucky enough to have escaped the melee for the first three days by hiding here and there on the island. Find a high-risk place and stay there for a few more days, and your chances will increase. "

Master Hou said unhurriedly.

Zheng Yiqing seemed to have found confidence and looked a little more relaxed.

"Young Master, I was looking for water sources in the woods and found a lot of traces of felled spiritual trees!"

The swarthy man returned in a hurry, looking a little flustered.

His surname is Gui, a close warrior under Zheng Hongjun. He was originally an Orion and is very familiar with the jungle. He was arranged by Zheng Hongjun to serve as an assistant monk to Zheng Yiqing.

Zheng Yiqing couldn't shirk it and could only accept it.

"Is there someone cutting down a lot of spiritual trees here? Is there someone who has the same plan as us? Brother Gui, please tell me the details!"

Several people were shocked. Master Hou was the first to react and said with a frown.

"I just looked for the water source and searched this forest. A few hundred feet in front, I saw traces of felling of the spiritual trees there! I carefully counted the felled spiritual tree stumps, no less than thirty or forty. So many plants!”

The man named Gui spoke solemnly.

"What! So much has been chopped off!"

"Spirit wood is the most important spiritual resource that can be found on the island! This team actually cut down so many spirit trees, they must have built a camp nearby!"

Everyone exclaimed.

"This place is very close to the target of our trip, the cliff. I don't know if they have occupied that dangerous spot. We must seize this dangerous spot. Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable, and it will even affect our follow-up plan to defend. . Brother Gui, take another trip to check out the situation on the cliff. If you find anything, carefully explore the other party’s background!”

Master Hou said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

The big man surnamed Gui looked at Zheng Yiqing, and when he saw Zheng Yiqing nodding, he left. He has practiced invisibility spells and is suitable for exploration.

"I don't know which group of students it is, but most of them have already camped on this cliff! It's a pity that we couldn't get there one step earlier than them."

Master Hou's face was full of worry.

This wild island is hundreds of miles in radius, and Kuang Zhen only gave them three hours to get to the island. They didn't have enough time to explore the terrain on the island. After landing on the island, they slowly looked for a place suitable for defense.

Zheng Yiqing's expression became very ugly.

He had already given up on being among the top ten in the assessment.

But after hearing the contents of the graduation examination, he once had an experience of surviving on a wild island in the East China Sea. Coupled with Master Hou's many tricks, hope arose in his heart.

"No matter who it is, we must eliminate it!"

Zheng Yiqing said bitterly.

He must grab the top ten in the assessment.

Half an hour later.

The man named Gui returned quietly.

"Young Master, the cliff is indeed occupied. All the places that can be climbed are equipped with sharp spikes, traps, rolling logs weighing thousands of kilograms, and falling rocks. There is no place where you can easily climb the cliff.

There is a five-foot-high spiritual wood fence blocking the only narrow path that can be climbed up, and there is even a very hidden arrow tower.

You have to go near the spirit wood fence to discover the existence of this arrow tower. There was a young monk standing guard on the arrow tower behind the fence. That person was so strange that I couldn’t recognize who it was!

According to the villain's judgment, this cliff is extremely well defended, even to the point of using every possible means. Even an experienced hunter like Xiaoren felt daunted by this arrangement. The person who arranged this formation must have a high level of practical experience. The five of us are afraid that we won't be able to attack. "

The big man named Gui immediately reported what he saw in detail.

"Why is this scene so familiar... Could it be Ye Mo?"

Zheng Yiqing's face suddenly showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost. He and Master Hou looked at each other in shock.

Ordinary Xianyuan students may not be able to deploy a tight hedgehog-like defense on the wild island without actual combat. As for actual combat experience, which of the children of a wealthy family would go to the wild island to fight monsters?

Even Zheng Yiqing himself is more experienced than other Immortal Academy students.

"What does the sentry look like?"

He An asked seriously.

The big man surnamed Gui picked up a branch and drew dozens of strokes on the ground, outlining the outline of a monk with a dull face.

"This, isn't this one of Ye Mo's men?"

Master Hou was suddenly surprised.

Butler Cao took a look and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I remember Ye Mo's people, too! Although this kid is not very eye-catching, he has followed Ye Mo for a long time and is one of his confidants."

"So, it is Ye Mo who occupies this cliff! We are really enemies on a narrow road, and God has given me a chance to take revenge. God gives me a chance to take revenge. Master Hou, what are our chances of winning if we sneak attack them?"

Zheng Yiqing suddenly felt angry and asked impatiently.
