Chapter 13: Out of order

On the third day of the exam, when Xia Fan walked into the hotel lobby, he

immediately felt an atmosphere of something wrong.

That is quiet.

There are about a dozen people eating breakfast. If it is normal, it is very

common to inquire about each other or make friends, but today, no one takes

the initiative to speak up.

More than that, even their sitting position has been farther away, and

everyone is at least a few steps apart, as if they are on guard.

If the person being far away is a disciple of the family, he can understand.

But the people sitting in the hall are ordinary candidates.

Even when he came in, many people focused their eyes on him, and the looming

cold light in his eyes made him frown.

What is the situation?

Is it possible that the actions that you made in front of Fei’s house

yesterday have spread throughout Qingshan Town, making yourself a thorn in the

eye and a thorn in the flesh of all examinees?

It's not like... If they really had such "unitedness", they would have broken

through the Fei's defense line yesterday.

Xia Fan was puzzled by the press, and ordered a steamed wotou and a pack of

braised beef according to yesterday’s practice.

Even if the fox demon said that he would not come again, but...who knows if it

will be really fragrant? After all, this theorem is applicable to any

pluralistic world, and he can't be wrong to prepare in advance.

Even if the opponent doesn't come, he can digest it by himself.

After eating wotou, Xia Fan plans to go to the back mountain and see if he can

find more. Although the dew in the morning is heavy, the mosquitoes are

relatively few. If you walk around the track, you may be able to explore

further than the last time.

After leaving the hotel, he unexpectedly discovered that there were fewer

people in Qingshan Town today.

In the first two days, I could see examinees who spent money everywhere.

Is it because their money is not enough, or is the fox demon working too hard

at night?

Just as Xia Fan was thinking about it, there was a fierce call of peace, and

the sound of fast and messy footsteps.

saw only one person rushing out of the alley first with a panic expression,

and then four or five people ran out, all with wooden swords in their hands.

Obviously, the former is being chased.

"Brother Xia! Hurry, run!"

Coincidentally, the hapless chase was actually an acquaintance-Wei Wushuang.

Before he could escape, the people behind had already noticed him. "Two is

two, we are crowded, we are all surrounded!"

As soon as 's voice fell, two of them had passed Wei Wushuang, blocking Xia

Fan's retreat in one step.

Now he has no chance to pretend to see the scenery.

Looking at the five people whose eyes were tightening in an enveloping manner,

Xia Fan pulled out his wooden sword with a headache, "Wait, who can tell me

what is going on?"

"Be careful... he, they are robbing candidates!" Wei Wushuang finally replied,

breathless, "I, I was deceived by them using the excuse of exchanging new

information, and I found out that something was wrong when I got there— "

"Let you do it quickly, you have to show people the flaw." The man in the

yellow shirt who took the lead glared at his accomplice, turned his head and

smiled at Xia Fan, "In fact, we don't want to be too stiff, as long as you

hand over the silver and medicine package. , I can let you go."

"You ran out of money?"

"There is still a little left," the other party didn't even conceal the

meaning, "but it won't last until the end of the examination. The place where

the spiritual fire can be dug is now occupied by the family. We can only wait

for the next few days."

"If I give you the money, what should I do?" Xia Fan pointed to himself.

"You?" The four of them looked at each other with a funny expression,

"Xiongtai, how about coming back in three years? This time, I will wait for it

first."

"Even if we never know each other?"

"Hey, you are less pretending to be stupid. What does it have to do with

acknowledgment?" The short man who was blamed by the yellow shirt took a step

forward. "At this point, don't you understand? The examiner clearly does not

intend to let everyone All passed smoothly. Whoever has the big fist will be

able to stay longer in Qingshan Town! Our brothers can only gather so many

people and eat the little shrimp left by the disciples of the family."

"Yes, it's impossible for people like you to pass the exam." The yellow shirt

man said without concealing. "Even if you can hide from today, you won't be

able to hide from tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Now Qingshan Town is no

longer a safe place. There are people like us everywhere, and even as far as I

know, there are people who plan to do something to the family. The so-called

encounter is fate, and it is better to give it to us instead of making others

cheaper."

Xia Fan couldn't help but remember the scene he saw in the lobby before.

So that's it... he suddenly felt that this was the reason why the atmosphere

was not right. I am afraid that a considerable number of people have already

noticed that the referees who are still in Qingshan Town are gradually

changing from candidates to hunters or prey. Not to mention asking for news,

even normal communication has become a risky thing. That's why everyone sits

far apart and doesn't say a word.

As for the gaze he cast when he walked into the lobby, I am afraid that there

is both defensiveness and scrutiny-to see if he can become an ideal prey.

"Brother, talk nonsense with him." Another long-faced "horse-faced man" waved

his wooden sword impatiently, "Just let this stick go down, so he won't pay

for it? Can you leave him a piece? Wearing clothes, we are considered kind-

hearted."

"Brother, I remember this guy!" Someone suddenly said, "Yesterday he played

everyone in front of Fei Nian! If it weren't for him, the people behind would

not give up. I'm afraid this guy is part of Fei's family. , Can't let him go

easily!"

"Have you heard?" The man in yellow shirt said embarrassedly, "My words are

still valid. If you hand over the money and the medicine package, I will let

you go. But it won't be easy to say later, don't make it difficult for me. ."

"Hey, how many can you deal with?" Xia Fan lowered his voice and glanced at

Wei Wushuang.

"I, I don't know... I've never beaten anyone..." The latter replied

tremblingly, without the naturalness that he had when dealing with him in the

first place.

It's not that he didn't doubt whether this encounter was a real coincidence,

but based on Wei Wushuang's reaction, it would be too realistic if it were

played.

"Forget it, when someone hits you, you just protect your face, understand?"

"Just cover your face?"

"Yes, as long as your face is okay, others will not know that you have been

beaten up."

"Huh?" Wei Wushuang couldn't help being taken aback.

And Xia Fan has already taken out the medicine packet from his arms.

"Toast, not eat or drink fine wine, you asked for it!" The man in the yellow

shirt understood everything when he saw the medicine packet, "Brothers, give

it to me!"

"Idiot, at such a close distance, do you still want to prepare for alchemy?"

The horse-faced man took the lead, cried out with a sword and leaped forward,

"I want to die—"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Fan raised the medicine packet to his face.

The package spreads, and the dust in the sky hits him directly

"This is...cough cough...what kind of spell?"

answered him with a sword.

With a muffled noise, Ma Liannan was knocked to the ground, no more movement.

Xia Fan took advantage of the chaos in the crowd, holding his breath, aiming

at the opponent's neck, waist, crotch and other vital parts, ensuring that a

single blow would make him lose his combat effectiveness.

This is also the first principle of street fighting taught by the cheap

master-the first hand must win, the second hand suffers. Alchemist was

affected by the entraining air, and his reaction and speed surpassed that of

ordinary people. With mental arithmetic and unintentional, he was considered

invincible in the past ten years. Coupled with his broad-mindedness and his

“talent” who can often draw inferences from one another, even Master praised

him for being a natural fit for Hunjianghu.

Compared to Xia Fan, who had been in battle, the others were obviously

inferior, or they didn't have to watch out for the contents of the bag at all.

Instead, they widened their eyes and wanted to see what medicine he took out.

This undoubtedly strengthened the power of dusting.

"Brother, this, this seems to be not alchemy, it's ordinary ash!"

"Ahem, let me care what it is, give it to me...cough...damn that guy!"

Although all candidates are allowed to carry only one medicine bag before

entering Qingshan Town, it is not forbidden to change the contents of the

medicine bag or make a new medicine bag. Naturally, Xia Fan didn't just bring

a bag of dust to his eyes. The second principle of a fight is to stop moving,

moving like thunder, and never stop the enemy completely.

After the second pack of ash was scattered, there was no one standing beside

him.

Yellow shirt men are no exception.

He was hit by a clean slash in the neck and passed out on the spot.

From the shot to the end, a total of only ten seconds.

Wei Wushuang implemented his suggestion very well. He hugged his head and

squatted on the ground at the moment of the fight. Apart from the dust, he

barely suffered a few swords.

"Get up, it's over." Xia Fan said.

Wei Wushuang cautiously let go of his hand and got up. After UU read

www.uukanshu.com, he looked around in surprise for a week, then looked at Xia

Fan in disbelief, "You... are you so amazing?"

"It depends on the opponent, and these people...it's probably the first time

to do'robbing'." Xia Fan leaned over and grabbed one person against his

shoulder, "You also have one on your back, we have to hurry up. Lest they wake

up again."

"Wake up again?" Wei Wushuang's expression changed, "Brother Xia, you don't

want to treat them..."

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Fan gave him a blank look. "Murdering

candidates will immediately lose their qualifications. I just want to throw

them over the bridge. Of course, after a thorough search."

The availability of money is not a trigger for failing the exam. If this group

of people would rather live in the field and take revenge after waking up, it

would be very troublesome. It is better to send them across the bridge

directly, as long as they pass the border, they can no longer step into the

examination room, which is also a once and for all approach.

"It turned out to be like this." Wei Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, "By

the way... When I was taken to the end of the alley, I saw two people lying

there. They should be the candidates who were deceived before. Do you want to

return the money? they……"

"No need." Xia Fan interrupted, "They will naturally understand what happened

when they wake up, and they won't be able to find us. It might be better for

them to quit here. If they can't even handle this situation, take a test. On

the contrary, the upper guard harmed them."

Wei Wushuang lowered his head slightly, the expression in his eyes was a bit

complicated for a while.

"You should also consider whether it is better to leave early." He did not

evade the other party's feelings, but said bluntly, "This is only the third

day, and the impact of money has reached this point. The next conflict is

afraid that it will intensify. One thing that the person who lied to you was

right, Qingshan Town is no longer a safe place."
