The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Since the master said so, it is natural to listen to the master, not to mention... what qualifications do other people have to communicate with me?

As an ancient race that was active in the old days.

Baiaji has a natural sense of superiority in front of other creatures, just like humans look at uncivilized monkeys.

"I'll go back to the house to clean up first. You can help me keep an eye on the outside. Remember to call me if there is any emergency."

"Ok."

"correct……"

Chen Jing took out two unopened bags of potato chips from his backpack, helped Baiaji tear open the packages, and then handed them to him.

"You seem to like eating this." Chen Jing said with some embarrassment. Thinking that he hadn't let Bai Aji eat anything good in the past few days, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. "When you return to the other world, I will take you to eat other good food." food!"

Bai Aji whimpered twice and rubbed his head against Chen Jing's face affectionately. There was a human expression on his ferocious and twisted face.

Like a child who gets the attention of adults.

His eyes narrowed with laughter.

He raised his head and opened his mouth wide, waiting for Chen Jing to feed him.

"Listen to Li Mobai... He will come over then... How should I explain to him..." Chen Jing picked up the potato chips and poured them into Bai Aji's mouth while thinking with a grimace.

According to his original plan.

After returning to Sentinel Ridge, you will settle here.

Because the old man has set up a barrier at Dongshan Water Pond, no one can enter that place except him.

Therefore, it is safest to use that place as the crossing point during the exam.

What's more, it can also be used as a safe haven...

After feeding and praying to Aji, Chen Jing went back to the house and started packing his luggage, especially those shady things. Naturally, he had to take them to the barrier of Dongshan Water Pond and hide them.

For example, the camera left by the old man.

A toy that his grandmother made for him when he was a child.

Those photos taken since childhood.

There are also some scattered things that carry many memories.

Maybe they're not worth much.

But Chen Jing felt that nothing in the world was more precious than them.

Especially after the end of the world...

Chen Jing did not intend to let this doomsday affect them, at least they should not be destroyed so early.

After all, he is a person who is extremely nostalgic, so hiding under the barrier of Dongshan Water Pond is the only option.

After Chen Jing packed up all these miscellaneous items, he calculated carefully and found that these items that did not take up much space almost filled three suitcases.

If Chen Jing hadn't transformed into an old descendant, with his powerless scholar's physique, he would probably have collapsed from exhaustion in the middle of cleaning up.

"Let's go."

Chen Jing tied the suitcases to Baiaji's back with ropes, then patted its head and raised his finger to point to the direction of Dongshan Water Pond.

Baiaji raised his head and let out a long roar similar to the sound of a horse, and then began to slowly flap his wings.

The hole-filled wing membrane doesn't seem to affect its flight.

During the process of lifting off the ground, Chen Jing unexpectedly discovered that he could not feel any wind sitting on Baiaji's back.

It's like walking on flat ground without wind.

One word, steady!

"No wonder those ancient records said that Bai'aji was a divine horse, and even the gods of the past praised it..." Chen Jing lay on Bai'aji's back, hugging its neck tightly and not daring to let go, " This kind of riding experience...it’s impossible not to give it full marks..."

In fact, Chen Jing is a little afraid of heights.

But on Bai Aji's back, he didn't know whether it was because flying too smoothly made people feel safe, or for some other reason... Chen Jing found that his fear of heights seemed to be cured.

Even though he was thousands of meters above the ground, he still didn't feel much fear, but instead felt an indescribable excitement.

Everything on the ground was shrinking in his sight.

Houses, mountains.

Everything was seen in his eyes from a perspective he had never experienced before.

"what is that……"

Suddenly, Chen Jing focused his gaze in a certain direction on the mountains, and saw that the forest was filled with a lot of dark gray mist...

Those fogs are definitely not naturally formed.

At least Chen Jing has never seen him in the mountains.

Like a soft gray gauze dancing in the wind in the woods.

Viewed from above, it looks like a rippling water surface, with layers of waves surging and rolling, as if they want to swallow up the entire mountain before they give up.

Above the gray mist that surged like a living creature.

Chen Jing vaguely saw an empty and unfamiliar face.

Like a giant's face.

It occupies almost half of the mountain.

Chen Jing was still a little confused, but Bai Aji recognized the face, or... it recognized the ancient and dangerous aura.

In Chen Jing's heart, Bai Aji almost screamed.

I saw its flying speed suddenly increased, heading straight towards the Dongshan Water Pond.

"It's them!!"

"They are coming!!!"

Chapter 90 The truth behind the old man’s fake death

After a brief exchange.

Chen Jing probably understood who "them" Bai Aji was talking about.

It does not just refer to the superior examiner.

Rather, it refers to the examiners and their entire group...

On that huge and terrifying face, Bai Aji smelled something similar to that of the examiner, just like those terrifying giants he saw outside the national highway when he left the city the day before.

The smell is exactly the same.

They all come from far away.

Ancient, mysterious.

It’s daunting.

"They haven't fully descended into this world yet..." Baiaji seemed to remember something in a daze, and his tone was still full of unconcealable fear, "Let's find a place to hide quickly... otherwise we will be discovered by them! "

"Why did those things come to our Sentinel Ridge?" Chen Jingbai asked in confusion.

Based on the experience gained along the way, Chen Jing discovered that those ancient and mysterious creatures almost only appear in places with intensive human activities, such as cities...

A deserted wilderness like Sentinel Ridge.

Is it necessary for them to come?

"I don't know..." Baiaji didn't seem to understand this either. After it distanced itself from the terrifying face, its mood calmed down a little, "They probably didn't notice us..."

"Are you sure?" Chen Jing asked worriedly.

"They haven't fully arrived yet, and their perception of this world should be extremely vague... I seem to have dealt with them, but I can't remember it."

By the end of the sentence, Baiaji's tone became confused.

Chen Jing knew that no matter how much he asked it, he might not get the answer, so he bravely looked back.

The human face made of thick gray mist has been suspended a hundred meters above the ground, but the direction it is facing is not where he is.

"What is it staring at the ground for?" Chen Jing looked confused.

At this moment, the face had turned its direction.

I saw it overlooking the ground from a high position, giving people the feeling that... it was looking for something.

"Isn't that thing looking for us?" Chen Jing was still a little worried.

Baiage thought for a moment and said probably not.

should?

These two words do not mean 100%.

"That mountain...is it looking for the old man?!"

Chen Jing seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.

Because he suddenly realized...

That mountain...

Isn't it the mass grave where the old man was "buried"? !

Thinking of the words the old man left in that letter, Chen Jing connected all the information together in an instant.

……

"I faked my death not to avoid those scumbags in the [Ether Association], but to avoid inspections by the examiner's superiors... Don't go looking for me blindly, there is no need."

……

Yes.

The old man should have foreseen today.

That terrifying face was most likely to be looking for the old man.

"stop."

Chen Jing suddenly called out to Bai Aji.

At this moment, below them was the east mountain area of ​​Sentinel Ridge.

However, due to the dense fog in the mountains, Chen Jing could not directly see the pool the old man mentioned from high altitude.

Fortunately, Chen Jing visited that place when he was a child.

So based on the details in his memory, he carefully identified it and quickly found the location of the pool.

"Go down." Chen Jing said.

Bai Aji nodded and began to land quickly in a dive with Chen Jing.

have to say.

Bai Aji is truly worthy of the title of "Godly Horse".

From beginning to end, Chen Jing didn't feel any discomfort while flying on its back.

Even when Baiaji dived down rapidly, he did not feel the weightlessness he deserved.

It is even more stable when landing.

There was no sound at all.

There is no inertia of sudden stops.

Everything is so natural.

"Let's go to the waterhole first. Since the old man has foreseen what happened today, the barrier he set up may be able to block their perception. They should not be discovered hiding there..."

Chen Jing said to Bai Aji as if talking to himself, then scanned the surrounding dense forest from left to right, and soon found an old road submerged in weeds in this dense mountain forest.

"go!"
