Chapter 326 Promotion Ceremony: The Ming Snake and the Transformed Snake of the Divine Mountain
Chapter 326 "Promotion Ceremony" Shenshan Mingshe and Huashe
The official ten clans have given Jiang Qian enough space to display his talents, but Jiang Qian has no intention of competing for the time being and just wants to win by doing nothing.
The "three levels" in the promotion ceremony are equivalent to the "tribulation" that the candidates have to go through. Each level is more dangerous than the last one. No matter how hard it is in the early stage, it all depends on the final decisive game.
Therefore, for Jiang Qian, as long as he can achieve the result with the least effort, he will never be high-profile.
Sometimes "inaction" is more effective than active intervention.
It has been observed that the entire environment he is in is constantly moving and transforming in the structure of a Möbius strip.
When a candidate continues to move in one direction, it will eventually return to the starting point; when a candidate hiding in a certain position is not discovered for too long, the environment will continuously "transport" other candidates to the position of the candidate, leading to a bad fate... Jiang Qian had to move positions many times for this reason, carefully avoiding unnecessary conflicts.
In such a dungeon environment, candidates can never determine their position and the relationship between that position and the overall environment.
Because everything around them is changing.
Candidates can only survive in such a dangerous situation if they remain highly alert and respond correctly to new changes in the environment at any time.
As the battle for the king of cards continues to advance, the elimination rate at the lower left of the player's vision continues to soar. At night, 55% of the candidates have been eliminated in this level!
As more and more people are eliminated, Jiang Qian's actions become more cautious.
He remains dormant, continuously observing the movements of other candidates nearby, and selectively stores various visual intelligence in his concise and orderly brain.
Until two weird guys appear together.
The two men appeared by the moonlit pond, drank water and rested without any care, and then slowly approached the woods where he was lurking under Jiang Qian's gaze.
One is an adult male, wearing a black hooded cloak, with suspicious bandages wrapped around his head and face, revealing only the position of his facial features.
His face was angular, and against his pale skin, his purple lips and scarlet pupils were particularly intimidating.
The other was a dwarf whose gender could not be determined.
He was short but dressed gorgeously, and his exotic outfit was adorned with jewels and gold and silver. However, his steps were much more agile and light than those of ordinary dwarfs, and he walked side by side with the man in the hooded cloak without any effort.
Not only that, his facial features were particularly delicate, and he often smiled, which was in stark contrast to the cold and stern man in the hooded cloak.
Who were these two people? They acted so confidently... Jiang Qian secretly observed and waited for the other party to approach.
At night, the "invisible" function of the Beidou button camera was released, and each one was as bright as a star, making it difficult to eavesdrop on the other party without being noticed.
However, at this moment, a large net with a strong electric current fell from the sky!
In an instant, the two people who were strolling in the garden were covered in it.
But a strange scene happened. The two did not even stop, as if they had no reaction to the current flowing through their bodies, and continued to move forward!
As they walked, the smiling dwarf turned into a clay sculpture.
Although the cold and fierce man in the hooded cloak did not make any extra movements, the fishing net filled with super strong current suddenly split into two! With the cold and fierce man as the center, they all cracked and flew away.
The cold and fierce man in the hooded cloak continued to pace forward, as if nothing had happened.
After a while, the real body of the dwarf appeared beside the cold and fierce man. He raised a round head in his hand and smiled and said something to the cold and fierce man...
Jiang Qian frowned slightly.
These two people are showing their strength in a swaggering way.
Or maybe "swaggering" is just a means, and the reason why they are so high-profile is actually to deliberately attract someone's attention.
The two did not change direction and continued to walk towards the woods where Jiang Qian was hiding.
As the distance kept shrinking, Jiang Qian could gradually hear the conversation between the two:
"Don't always have a cold face. Even if you are not satisfied, at least pretend. We are partners now!" The dwarf said to the cold man.
His voice was as clear and tender as a boy's voice, making it difficult to tell his age.
The cold man in the cloak was just the opposite. His voice was low and hoarse, like a disability caused by severe damage to his vocal cords, which made people uncomfortable:
"It's not against you, don't be self-indulgent."
"Hahaha, it's not against me?" The dwarf laughed childishly, "Then who is it against? Qianlong Wuyong?"
They, they came for me... Hearing his ID, Jiang Qian's eyes were focused and he was alert instantly!
The cold man did not deny it. His scarlet eyes reflected a trembling luster under the moonlight.
"Is that so? Hahaha, if that's the case, wouldn't it be better to just refuse directly!"
The dwarf began to talk to himself:
"Oh~ I see, you won't miss this opportunity to contact Qianlong Wuyong! After all, he is the best choice for Ayiguli. From the perspective of identity, he has the same opportunity as us to take charge of the sacred mountain and become a puppet of those old women..."
The dwarf was laughing and complaining, and the man beside him had already unsheathed his sword and suddenly pointed it at the throat of the short dwarf!
"Be more respectful."
"Ah, ha! Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, you know me, I just like to be quick-witted!"
The dwarf raised his hands in fear to surrender, but continued to smile:
"Swords have no eyes, Shuilongyin! Even the Holy Mother is reluctant to touch a hair of mine, you have to be careful, otherwise even if Sister Jiaojiao comes back, she can't save you."
The cold man was unmoved, and the sword was still against the dwarf's neck.
The two confronted each other silently.
Jiang Qian was not involved, but he was very satisfied to hear it: a lot of information!
They mentioned the sacred mountain, the peacock spider Ayiguli, and the name of the suspected nine-tailed fox Da Jiaojiao... The few old women were most likely referring to the Holy Mother and Saint of the sacred mountain.
Jiang Qian remembered these very clearly when he intervened in Lan Junxian's sacred mountain project team.
But what interested him most was the "identity" of the two people at present - according to their self-exposure speeches, they seemed to be the "crown princes" of the sacred mountain selected by the Saint of the sacred mountain!
Three snake identity cards...
And the ID of the cold and fierce man wearing a hooded cloak and bandages on his face was "Shuilongyin"?
Jiang Qian privately thought that such an arrogant name would be embarrassing to go out without a sacred beast card behind it.
But what does this mean?
Two suspected crown princes of the sacred mountain appeared at this year's promotion ceremony, and openly looked for their whereabouts during the ceremony...?
He then recalled the episode in which the nine-tailed fox of the sacred mountain strongly demanded to meet him after being arrested.
At that time, I was in the midst of a pursuit and under the official protection of the license holder, so I failed to follow up on the matter in time. I think I must have missed some relevant information.
…
"I will kill you on the altar." After a long confrontation, the cold man took the lead in removing his sight and weapon from the dwarf.
"It depends on your ability at that time!" The dwarf said in a relaxed tone, "No hurry, kill Qianlong Wuyong first."
The two ended the confrontation and continued to move forward side by side.
Then, they stopped near the big tree where Jiang Qian was.
The cold man in the hooded cloak held the hilt of the sword, but the dwarf had already rushed towards the tree before him!
Jiang Qian wrapped his invisibility cloak tightly, staring at the movements of the two without showing any sound...
"Wooah!"
With a delicate hum, the woman's slender figure appeared under the tree!
"Oh? She's still a girl!"
The dwarf exclaimed in surprise, raised his hand and sent the young woman to his "ally".
The slender figure suddenly escaped from the dwarf's hand and was thrown under the cold man's feet. She raised her head timidly and looked up along the man's black boots and cloak...
However, before her cheeks were fully raised, the man grabbed her collar and dragged her up from the ground, and the creepy hoarse voice sounded again:
"Have you seen Qianlong Wuyong?"
His question was so direct that the surprise and fear in the woman's eyes were magnified at the same time.
"The official star of the license holder, a high-level player who has passed "Whisper of the Heart Demon" and "Children's Paradise", in his early twenties, with short black hair and handsome looks... Have you seen him?"
The cold man continued to ask in a more gloomy tone.
The woman first struggled to shake her head, then nodded: "Yes, I have seen him!"
"Where?" The cold man's expression eased slightly.
"In..."
The woman swallowed the blood welling up in her mouth with difficulty, and at the same time quickly glanced at the big tree next to her, whispering:
"I'll tell you... Can you let me go? ”
The cold and fierce man was silent for two seconds, then smiled:
“Of course. We won’t kill one more person to speed up the end of the game. Because we need time to hunt the real target, understand?”
The woman was stared at by the pair of scarlet vertical pupils, and nodded like crazy!
Jiang Qian was depressed at that time.
After escaping the joint hunting of various non-lawful organizations, he finally entered the promotion ceremony, and encountered the embarrassing situation of suspected "crown prince competition"?
The funny thing is that even his identity as "crown prince" was forced upon him...
The cold and fierce man called Shui Longyin grabbed the woman's collar:
“Now tell me, where is Qianlong Wuyong.”
“Over there…”
The woman pointed in a direction:
“He went over there! A person with similar features, I’m not sure if he is Qianlong Wuyong…”
The woman finished speaking intermittently, staring timidly at the man’s scarlet pupils, trembling all over.
“Oh. "
The cold and fierce man responded, grabbed the woman's chin, and threw her towards a tree nearby!
Bang!
Crack.
The cold and fierce man retracted his murderous hand and grasped the hilt of the sword again.
"Oh, what's wrong? I haven't asked you clearly yet." The dwarf laughed.
"She's lying."
"Oh? So she hasn't seen Qianlong Wuyong either...?"
"No, she has."
The cold man said, looking at the tree where Jiang Qian was:
"Qianlong Wuyong is right here."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Qian's body had made a choice like a spring: retreat!
Running away is the best option.
Under the effect of the invisibility cloak, he spread his wings and flew into the air. While opening his spiritual vision, he used the snake shadow to sneak!
Jiang Qian used the cold moon as a reference and flew in a fixed direction from the forest.
"He wants to escape, chase him!"
The two people behind him tracked him and chased him relentlessly!
But after all, Jiang Qian had the invisibility cloak prop blessing, and the uninvited guests followed him for a while before being gradually thrown off.
Jiang Qian did not stop flying.
He continued to fly in one direction, with a high degree of concentration and caution! Until he returned to the "origin".
On the open space under the tree, there were still deep shoe marks left by the two men when they started chasing each other. The young woman who tried to "perjure" for him was still lying on the ground unconscious.
Jiang Qian approached and reached out to check the woman's condition, and found that she still had a faint breath.
"Hey, how are you?"
Jiang Qian tried to wake her up, but to no avail.
The other party's heartbeat had stopped and her pulse could not be felt.
So Jiang Qian used the first aid methods he learned in the high school extracurricular class on the spot, and used CPR + artificial respiration on the woman without hesitation.
He crossed his hands on the other party's chest, pressed rhythmically, then pinched the other party's breath and leaned over to rescue.
Under Jiang Qian's skilled rescue techniques, the woman's heart finally resumed beating and her consciousness gradually became clear.
She coughed a few times weakly and opened her eyes...
"Don't kill me!"
Just as the woman was about to struggle, she saw Jiang Qian unveil his invisibility cloak and reveal his true face. She was immediately surprised:
"You... Qianlong Wuyong?!"
Jiang Qian asked calmly: "How did you know it was me?"
The woman hesitated, tears welled up in her eyelashes, until her eyes were filled with admiration and emotion: "I am the survivor of the "Children's Playground"!"
"So that's why you want to repay me?"
Jiang Qian said calmly:
"But your behavior just now was too risky. Those two people are not good people at first glance. You are too lucky."
"It doesn't matter! With ordinary qualifications like me, I have no chance of successful promotion even if I pass the first level... I am not strong enough, so it's understandable that I was eliminated."
The woman held Jiang Qian's hand tightly, and continued with an admiring look:
"The great Qianlong must be sure to pass the promotion ceremony, right? I know you can do it, come on! "
However, at this moment, a cold edge slashed behind Jiang Qian...
Jiang Qian quickly grabbed the woman's waist and back, rushed forward, and avoided the sneak attack from behind.
In the spiritual vision, the cold man and the dwarf who had just tracked him halfway were already standing behind him.
The dwarf couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha... I didn't expect that Qianlong Wuyong was still a man of temperament!"
The cold man sneered.
"A man of temperament..." Jiang Qian looked down at the woman in his arms, "Am I?"
The woman was a little overwhelmed by his gaze, and answered coquettishly: "I don't know... Maybe Qianlong God saved me just because he had good intentions?"
"Wrong. Because..."
Jiang Qian grabbed the woman's wrist, and in the surprise of the woman and the two people opposite, he made the woman's arm go around her neck and tighten it around her shoulder blades.
In this way, as long as the force is appropriate, there is a chance to move the other person's head from the neck.
