It was still light, but there was already a crimson above the horizon to the east.

Sitting on the bank of the river, watching the slowly flowing stream water turn from darkness to brightness, and then begin to shine red again. The water surface is reflected by the red morning glow, which looks very similar to the iron flowing out of the steel furnace from any angle. In a trance, Cao Nian could even feel a burning breath coming to his face - of course this was just his illusion. Because the temperature is not high, whether it is the river water or the surrounding air, it is even a little cold for people like them who are sleeping in the open air. If it weren't for the fire, Cao Nian would have woken up cold an hour ago.

The jungle in the early morning is very quiet, different from the past, with snakes, insects, rats and ants silently, jackals, tigers and leopards disappearing, and even the sound of wind and birds cannot be heard. Only the river water is gurgling, like a phonograph slowly turning, singing quietly. This feeling is very mysterious, like a friend with a grumbling and hot temper suddenly becomes taciturn, and even the sound of his speech is as thin as a mosquito.

Cao Nian felt that it was like in a dream. Of course, this did not mean that he had not woken up yet. Instead, he had a feeling that everything he had experienced so far, such as bear badgers, tentacles, bats and wolves, and even earlier things, such as bombs, revenge and childhood...will it all be a dream?

Guagua—

A blue and white bird fell on the other side of the river. It sang its neck and made a noisy cry like a crow, breaking the silence of the night. After a scramble, it buried its head and pecked at the ground. As it moved slowly, bamboo leaves-like patterns appeared on the soft ground.

bird?

Cao Nian looked at the bird with interest, and then he suddenly remembered something, something he should have noticed: although the birds were singing constantly in the jungle, these lively guys usually hide behind the treetops and leaves, only hearing the sounds, but not seeing their shapes. After coming to this world, it was the first time Cao Nian saw a bird so close. When he thought of this, his arrival would not seem presumptuous.

"You woke up quite early." At this moment when Cao Nian was in a daze, he woke up on the 21st. The flexibly fat man squatted by the water, five feet away from Cao Nian. He gently picked up the water and washed away the soil and dust on his face.

"I just woke up for more than ten minutes." Cao Nian stood up and patted the mud on his butt. Although it didn't make any sense, because his clothes were dirty and could not tell what they were like.

Cao Nian joined hands, and the bird opposite immediately became alert and flew away with flapping its wings.

Seeing the prey flying away, Cao Nian curled his lips and threw down the stone in his hand.

He turned his head to No. 21 and said, "I can't tell, you love cleanliness."

No. 21 shook his head: "Don't think too much. It's just that it can refresh you."

"Ah-I slept so well last night! The weather is so good, it seems that today is a good day." Zhang Yang walked out of the woods with his belt in his trousers. The guy was sleepy and seemed to be unsatisfied.

"So you're awake too," Cao Nian said.

"Oh, I originally wanted to sleep for a while, but the sound in my head kept urging me, making me unable to sleep..." Zhang Yang smiled, and a sense of joy appeared in the crack under his eyebrows.

"Oh? The sound in my head? What sound?" Cao Nian asked with a smile.

"This sound is so powerful, even more powerful than that large group of vampire bats! My head is about to crack. If I hadn't been too tired yesterday, I would have been unable to sleep all night. I was so confused that I always felt that a voice in my head sang repeatedly 'Cruel Angel', the boy's myth,' you know this song, it's old classic. Although I like it very much, I can't stand it's infinite loop... Can you feel the pain of being circulated by a single song?" Zhang Yang said as he hummed, and there was no "pain" in his expression.

"What song do you think is this?" Cao Nian said in confusion.

"Wow, you're not kidding! I don't know that I've endured the God of Death, why don't you even know Eva?" Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly, revealing a smell of regret in his words.

"Haha, it seems that I have to find time to make up for the things in the anime, otherwise I would be at a loss." Cao Nian said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, when it comes to anime, I'm..."

"Don't, stop here! By the way, what were you doing just now?" Cao Nian saw his conversation suddenly open, and quickly interrupted Zhang Yang's words. After all, Cao Nian, who knew nothing about anime, didn't want to listen to this guy's long-term discussion.

"Just now? I went to pee. I heard that it's okay to get up early and pee... Zhang Yang looked comfortable.

"Wait, you said you were peeing? You might be peeing in the river, right?"

Cao Nian suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise.

"Of course, if you don't urinate, it's better not to urinate!"

Zhang Yang smiled, but found that No. 21 was standing beside Cao Nian with a pale face. Before Zhang Yang could finish speaking, No. 21 had already jumped up in the air and kicked him into the river.

"What's wrong with him? Are you crazy? Baby, if you weren't young, I would have to cut you to death!" Zhang Yang crawled out of the water and asked with a confused look on his face.

"If you practice downstream and someone pee upstream, you will be the same as him."

Cao Nian said with a smile.

Zhang Yang was stunned, then laughed and woke up the few people who were still sleeping.

Xu Nuo rubbed his sleepy eyes and threw a puzzled look at Cao Nian, as if asking again what had happened.

"What, when I think about leaving here, can't sleep anymore?" Wen Guangtou sat up straight, shook his head, and clattered.

"Of course! It would be strange if I could sleep! When I thought of holding a Zanpakura in my hand, holding a Sharingan, a thunder fruit, three-color domineering... People blocked and killed people, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, I was trembling all over excitedly! It was like I was electrocuted, sizzling, haha, do you think I am imitating it?" Zhang Yang trembled all over while holding the tree.

Cao Nian covered his forehead and smiled bitterly. Why are all the people around him not normal?

"Haha, you guys are thinking pretty well, Zanpaku, Sharingan, and Demon Fruit... None of them can be controlled by you, a newcomer." Wen Guangtou said.

"Instructor Wen, can you tell me how we should use this reward point?"

Xu Nuo was careful and thought about the problems they needed to face now. Of course, to be precise, they should be the problems they were going to face.

"This question is a good question! It's much better than this daydreaming guy!" Wen bald head laughed and said, "Complete the novice mission, that is, this quest, you will receive a fixed reward for each trial, one thousand points, and the other reward points will be allocated as appropriate from your performance. The contribution of each person's kill will affect the final reward point. The contribution here is not only for the novice to kill monsters, but also for the contribution during the participation process. Your words and ideas may increase your final reward point. So generally speaking, the reward points you get in the first mission will not be too many, two thousand is the limit."

"So how to allocate these two thousand reward points is crucial." Wen Guangtou said: "From my experience, at the beginning, you should use the reward points in places that can be immediately effective. The most direct thing is to strengthen the body. A normal person, physical strength, strength, and agility are 100 points. With every twenty reward points, the 20 thousand reward points can basically improve 200 points of ability. If you use them all on strength, then your strength will be three times that of the previous one! Of course, I don't recommend that you concentrate on strengthening a certain ability from the beginning, after all, this will be in danger of lameness."

"Instructor, have you also strengthened your strength?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Me?" said Baldy Wen: "I was only after I improved my agility and physical strength, so I specifically strengthened my strength for the sake of the team. I also advanced three abilities at the beginning."

Cao Nian nodded and asked, "What about the abilities and weapons that Zhang Yang mentioned? Isn't it necessary?"

Wen said, "Weapons are of course needed, but for melee warriors, a few hundred reward points of cold weapons are enough. For long-range shooters, a few hundred reward points of infinite bullet pistols, you must have guessed it, which is enough. As for Zanpakura and Sharingan, such abilities are not necessary."

Zhang Yang asked: "Why? Is the Sharingan's ability not as good as strengthening a little physical fitness?"

Wen Guangtou shook his head and said, "Boy, don't talk about whether you can get 5,000 reward points to exchange for Sharingan. Even if you get it, do you think you can control Sharingan? These abilities are not scallions on the ground, you can cook after withdrawing them! Without repeated practice and long-term running-in, you can't master them at all! Not to mention killing the enemy and winning, as long as you are not backfiring, it is already a blessing. Of course, although these abilities are potential stocks, the more profits they get, the small effect will be at the beginning."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"So, you a rookie, want to master multiple abilities by yourself, which is basically a fool. Whether it is the reward point or the time, it is astronomical."

Instructor Li walked among the crowd, and waved to everyone, "Okay, let's go. The remaining 120 miles will be completed within seven hours."

Well! Everyone nodded and were full of fighting spirit.

After walking twenty or thirty miles, no one complained about being tired and distressed, and even the fat man didn't say a word. I don't know if he forgot to pretend or did it on purpose.

The stream gathers, from one zhang wide to several zhang wide.

But as the flow was flowing, the river surface suddenly narrowed, forming the appearance of a mineral water bottle. The soil on both sides of the river turned into hard stone walls, and even the torrent could not wash away the hard substance on it.

Looking at the river with water flowing like arrows and white foam like snow, Cao Nian couldn't help but sigh that "rolling up thousands of snow" is really written so vividly.

Ghost, genius!

Of course, not everyone has the same thoughts as Cao Nian.

"My God, if we were on a boat, we would be burying the fish's belly right away... When I think of dying with you men, I feel frustrated." Zhang Yang swallowed his saliva, his voice was quite loud.

"Idiot." No. 21 cursed.

"Especially you." Zhang Yang smiled.

"If I were you, I wouldn't have walked along the river and said wildly." No. 21 threatened.

"Well... what you said makes sense." Zhang Yang leaned inside, then turned around and said, "Thank you for your reminder. It seems that you are not a big guy, but you have a lot of thoughts."

"Can you close your damn mouth?"

"I really want to do it too. To be honest, don't you feel bored if you don't say anything like this? Although I don't speak when I play anime and liver games... But shouldn't it be interesting to have a chatterbox person talking in your ears?"

"So you know you're a chatterbox." Cao Nian couldn't help laughing.

"Of course. Everyone said that, and so did my ex-girlfriends."

"Ex-girlfriends..."

"yes."

"I probably know why you have so many ex-girlfriends."

"To be honest, I'm curious, why-"

"Shut up!"

The instructors turned their heads and ordered.

Zhang Yang was silent and held his words into his stomach.

Because a voice has already sounded in their minds.

‘It has entered the territory of the famine Julu, and the famine has turned into winter mode – the famine is coming.’

The novices suddenly looked sad and their eyes were filled with complaints. This feeling of helplessness and despair could no longer be offset by the four words "good things get a lot of trouble".

It was like driving home happily, but at the last intersection, it was blocked by a big tree that fell to the ground!

This is no longer a bad luck, but someone has been plotted. To be precise, it is plotted by the source.

"Julu Territory? It seems that Julu has been waiting for us at the finish line for a long time." Instructor Li's eyes were shining. Although they had eaten the hands of the bear badger, they tasted the sweetness from the wolves.

If this giant deer does not have the ability of a bear badger, they will not be helpless.

"Brother, second brother, my strength has recovered by 70%. "Wangtou Wen took out his weapon and was ready for battle.

"It seems that having you two should be enough." Instructor Wang had a cloth strip wrapped around his hands, but a smile was on his face.

"You...you are not going to be ready to fight Julu head-on!" A novice immediately said alertly: "There is less than fifty miles left. Can't we choose to avoid it? If this last time, the ship capsizes in the gutter, will all our efforts be wasted?"

Dongdongdongdongdong-

A regular vibration sound came from the ground. A behemoth was approaching them, unlike the bear badger, and the guy seemed to have some knowledge of their location.

Huh? It seems that a big guy is coming. This guy seems to know our location, and his speed is so fast.

Instructor Li half-squatted on the ground and felt the vibration of the ground with his index finger on his right hand. This is a way to judge the direction and distance of the visitor.
To be continued...
