Following Qi Yegui's order, all the contestants headed north.

Because the grand prize of this competition is ranked according to arrival time, everyone is hurrying on their way in order to get a good ranking.

All of a sudden, all kinds of body movements were used. Many people leaped onto the treetops and flew away in the blink of an eye. Some people even soared directly into the sky like a roc and disappeared into the darkness like flying.

Only three or four people were left, including Yang Qing.

Coincidentally, these people were all holding the newly distributed maps and comparing them carefully with serious expressions.

In the information just given to the contestants, in addition to a Si Nan Pei that can indicate the locations of the five tower sentinels, there is also a map that covers the geography of nearby mountains and rivers and the distribution of villages.

In Yang Qing's mind, sharpening the knife will not delay the chopping of wood, so it is necessary to have a general understanding of the surrounding situation first.

It's much better than those who just rush north in the dark without knowing what's going on.

Don’t underestimate this trial as it only requires you to run over a hundred miles overnight and collect four tower sentry certificates.

But these certificates need to be "purchased".

Especially the last one, which requires ten beads of filth, and a total of nineteen are needed to complete the whole level.

In other words, if you want to complete the level, you must kill more than 19 evil spirits in a row, and it must be done within one night.

This is not a simple number for a monk who has just entered the profession.

Besides, the evil spirits in the wild are different from those in the city. The evil spirits in the city are killed in time every day, so there will be no residue. If you encounter them, you usually fight alone.

However, in the wild, since it is impossible to clean them up effectively, these remaining evil spirits will find places to hide during the day.

The only places they can hide are caves, cracks, abandoned mines and uninhabited villages, which is why evil spirits gather and grow.

Therefore, it is normal to encounter evil spirits in groups or above at the second level in the wild at night, and you are lucky to escape unscathed.

What Yang Qing is looking at now is whether there are marked caves and villages between several tower outposts in the north.

According to Yang Qing's speculation, places like caves should be where evil spirits are most likely to gather.

After all, during the day, in order to avoid the burning and corrosive effects of the sun, evil spirits can only find places like caves to hide.

On the contrary, areas near human gatherings such as villages should receive special attention from night watchmen patrolling the wilds. In theory, there should be fewer evil spirits in these areas.

Based on this line of thought, Yang Qing had to make choices about the routes he would take between the several outposts on the map.

As the contestants left one after another, Yang Qing was the last one to walk out of the sentry tower.

The night is like a knife, killing people without blinking an eye.

After leaving the tower, there is a common mountain road in the south. Big trees are dotted among the low bushes from time to time, and a small path is outlined by the footprints of pedestrians.

Yang Qing ran alone along the path, not very fast, as if he was guarding against a sneak attack in the dark or waiting for something.

After a while, a black figure rushed towards Yang Qing, and after a jump, landed steadily on Yang Qing's head.

It was Mo Guang who came.

Before, he was afraid that Qi Yegui and others would find it strange that Yang Qing took Mo Guang to take the exam together, so he did not let Mo Guang go with them. He just asked him to stay nearby and come to join them after the test started.

After walking about a mile along the mountain road, a fork in the road appeared in front of him.

At this moment, a figure was leaning against a big tree near the fork in the road, seemingly waiting for someone.

"Bah! So slow, making me wait for him so long."

Seeing Yang Qing appear, the man spat fiercely on the ground and then strode towards Yang Qing.

"Yang Qing! Do you still remember me?"

Yang Qing looked towards the man who sounded the voice. He seemed to be a classmate from the previous training camp.

Thinking carefully back to my previous memories of him, they all seemed to be unfriendly.

Looking at the visitor's fake smile, Yang Qing sighed.

It seems that he doesn't go looking for trouble, but trouble doesn't seem to want to let him go.

"Chen Xigou, we are classmates, how could I forget you? It looks like you have been staring at me for a long time!"

"Haha, it seems that the beating I gave you in the training camp was too lenient, and you have already forgotten to use respectful titles when addressing me.

But you are lucky today, I need your help, so I won’t beat you today. "

Since all the students in the training camp come from poor families, most of them don’t have any good names.

This boy named Chen Xigou used to bully Yang Qing in the training camp, relying on his superior strength.

"Tell me first, but I don't think I can help you."

"Haha, I think your presence in this trial is unfair to everyone in our training camp, so I hope you can take the initiative to walk back and withdraw from this trial."

Hearing the other party's words, Yang Qing was stunned: "Is this the favor you want me to help you with?"

"Haha, you didn't expect that I would block you here.

There is no way. It is better to be safe than sorry.

If someone like you who was eliminated from the training camp can get through by luck, then where can we, the top students, put our faces?

Even though we didn't think highly of you, but as a waste you should have the awareness of being a waste.

Besides, with the strength you have in the training camp, participating in such a competition would be tantamount to suicide. We are doing this for your own good.

Are you right? Hehehehe!

I really don't know how you managed to get the qualification to take this trial. You wouldn't be licking the skin of that bearded man, would you? "

Chen Xigou became more and more proud as he spoke, and seemed to enjoy the feeling of ridiculing others. He didn't notice at all that Yang Qing's expression was getting uglier and uglier.

"When I was in the training camp before, besides being bullied by you guys from time to time, it seemed like I had no sense of existence, right?

So I guess it's not worth your while for you to stay and stop me. It seems that someone has greeted you.

Are they the instructors in the training camp?" Yang Qing asked.

Hearing this, Chen Xigou sneered, and a short-handled axe appeared in his hand.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a while. You are much smarter than before. It seems that you have come to your senses and are not as stupid as before.

It's just a pity that you came to your senses a little late.

You guessed it right, an instructor mentioned it to us.

So, for the sake of the training camp and the instructors' face, you should go back.

Otherwise, haha, don't blame me for being ruthless.

This trial is inherently dangerous, so I don’t think anyone would be surprised if a few contestants died.”

Chen Xigou was holding an axe soul weapon and made a gesture of wiping his neck while speaking.

"That may disappoint you. I am not used to being scared before a fight. I will definitely participate in this trial."

"Humph! You are so stubborn! Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

After saying that, Chen Xigou sneered and threw the short axe in his hand directly at Yang Qing's head.

The flying axe was not fast and its angle was not tricky. Yang Qing easily dodged the attack by simply turning his head slightly.

"Hey, you're more sensitive than before. It seems that you haven't made any progress as a night watchman during this period. At least you are not a waste of food anymore."

Seeing that Yang Qing dodged his attack, Chen Xigou didn't seem to be panicked at all, and even had time to laugh at Yang Qing.

Yang Qing just stared at Chen Xigou and did not argue with him.

However, after hearing the whistling sound behind him, Yang Qing quickly pulled out a throwing knife from his waist and threw it backhand, accurately hitting the flying axe that was attacking from behind.

It turns out that the short axe thrown by Chen Xigou has the ability to spin.

However, this kind of sneak attack was really a bit of a show-off in front of Yang Qing's newly mastered Tang Sect Flying Knife Technique.

Originally, Chen Xigou deliberately talked to Yang Qing after his attack missed, just to distract Yang Qing's attention so that his flying axe could achieve the effect of a sneak attack. However, he didn't expect that it was broken by Yang Qing so easily.
