This Damned Thirst for Survival

Jiang Luo leaned back and looked at Qi Ye with his arms folded, "You said this before the second level."

Qi Ye's expression froze, and his handsome face was a little bit uncontrollable, "But I will definitely be the first in the third level."

"At the third level, the top three didn't have any hints," Qi Ye said seriously, "We are at the same starting point, Jiang Luo, I won't lose to you."

Jiang Luo smiled and said, "But I also want to be the first."

When Qi Ye heard this, he laughed with satisfaction, "Are you finally going to be serious?"

Lu in the front row turned his head and asked curiously, "Qi Ye, did you transfer here specifically for Jiang Luo?"

Qi Ye's face flashed uncomfortably, "I just want to experience what it's like to go to school."

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, "Have you never been to school before?"

"I went to a normal university, not majoring in natural sciences and social studies," Qi Ye looked at Jiang Luo's face, his eyes wandering unconsciously, "I used to learn this knowledge at home."

Lu You was overjoyed, "Then say that, you might be the last one?"

"How is it possible," Ye Xundu said, "Lu Yi, Qi Ye is better than you."

Lu has one: "But I rank above Qi Ye in both levels."

Qi Ye: "..."

He took a deep breath, feeling aggrieved, but couldn't refute it because what Lu Yi said was the truth.

Wen Renlian laughed and said, "Let's go have a meal together tonight."

Class ended at six in the afternoon, and a group of people went to the restaurant for dinner. Wen Renlian and Jiang Luo walked at the end, Wen Renlian whispered: "Qi Ye is very well protected by the Qi family."

Jiang Luo nodded, "Although he looks irritable, he is quite simple."

"The talent is also very good," Wen Renlian's Yu Guang glanced at Qi Ye in front of him and smiled, "He looks handsome."

They were passing a basketball court, and basketballs were flying towards them and hitting Jiang Luo directly. Qi Ye stepped back two steps to catch the basketball in time, frowning, and cursing loudly: "Playing with a ball doesn't look at people?"

He kicked the basketball back and kicked it directly to the other end of the basketball court.

After seeing the basketball far away, Qi Ye looked back at Jiang Luo, "Are you okay."

Jiang Luo was amused, "None of the basketball touched me."

Wen Renlian's gaze swept over them, and his smile deepened. He walked two steps quickly and came to Zhuo Zhongqiu's side, "What do you think of Qi Ye?"

Zhuo Zhongqiu glanced at the back and said critically, "It's okay, I don't have a good temper."

Wen Renlian said in a hurry, "Then take him as a candidate."

If as the object of Jiang Luo's new love affair, Qi Ye would be quite qualified.

But if you take Qi Ye and Chi Youbi, there is still a gap. They were not sure whether Jiang Luo would like Qi Ye's type of person, after all, Chi You was the representative of gentle gentlemen.

During the meal, Qi Ye sat down beside Jiang Luo. As soon as he sat down, the others looked at him directly, and he stunned, "Why do you look at me like this?"

Ye Xun asked, "Qi Ye, are you in a relationship?"

Qi Ye sternly said, "No, I'm not interested."

"Then what kind of person do you like?" Ge Zhu was curious.

Qi Ye frowned: "What are you asking for?"

Jiang Luo looked at Qi Ye with a smile, her black hair hanging down her shoulders, and casually pointed: "You have to satisfy their curiosity, and they will let you go."

Looking at Jiang Luo like this, Qi Ye suddenly remembered the scene where the black-haired young man jumped from the tree to kill the Spiderman. He itched his throat and quickly turned his gaze back, "I don't know what kind of person I would like. ."

Seeing that Qi Ye was getting annoyed, the others didn't ask.

After the meal, Jiang Luo parted ways with them and went to the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Before the game came, he had to live in the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Feng Li was not there in the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Jiang Luo went to the study to read by himself, and when Feng Li came back with his two direct disciples when the moon was on the branch.

Feng Li called Jiang Luo in front of him, and after a sip of tea, he slowly asked, "How many books have you read today?"

Jiang Luo answered one by one.

Feng Li nodded and took out a Fulu book from the cabinet to him, "After you finish reading those books, take this one for practice."

Jiang Luo took it over and saw that the books were all ancient talismans that had not been circulated to the public. He put it in his hand and asked, "Master, where have you been today?"

Feng Li raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Go to the Chi's house."

Jiang Luo: "Chi family?"

"The direct descendants of the Chi family are gone. The collaterals of the Chi family invite us to come to witness the collateral taking over the Chi family," Feng Li said coldly. Bit."

"I hurt him yesterday, but at the last moment I let him escape," Feng Li leaned back. "Chi You deserves to be the strongest of the descendants of the Chi family. Even if he is dead, he has such strength. Compared to him, those collateral lines are not good enough."

The Chi family mastered the puppet soul refining technique, which is ancient and powerful. This kind of magic is in the hands of people, and it would have made others feel uneasy. According to common sense development, the Chi family should have been besieged by everyone until the puppet soul-refining technique was destroyed.

Things that are too powerful will only lead to disaster.

But the Chi family has been developing steadily to this day, after all, there are only two reasons. One is that the puppet soul-refining technique is extremely difficult to master. From now on, only the Chi family's direct line can master this technique. The second is that although each of the Chi family’s direct descendants is a genius out of a million, none of them can live beyond thirty.

When it's Chi You's turn, one more item will be added. Chi You has a kind and gentle personality. Although he has mastered the puppet soul-refining technique, he rarely uses this technique. On the contrary, he forms good relationships, which makes people in the metaphysical world feel at ease with him. No one thinks that Chi You would use puppets to refine the soul. Soul art does something unfavorable to them and to the world of metaphysics.

Jiang Luo listened quietly, but he was so powerful that he could not survive thirty. This sounded like a curse.

Jiang Luo: "Master, can the puppet soul-refining technique only be mastered by the protagonist?"

Feng Li: "At least until now, there is no collateral that can be mastered."

Jiang Luo: "That Chi You is dead and his protagonist is cut off. Can no one really master the technique of puppet soul refining in the future?"

Feng Li said coldly: "But the Chi family still cannot be underestimated. Even if you only master one or two puppet soul refining techniques, it's amazing."

But looking at his expression, it was obvious that he didn't regard Chi's sideline as the same thing.

Jiang Luo thoughtfully, "Master, what exactly is Yuan Dzi?"

Feng Li glanced at him: "When you get it, you'll know it naturally."

"As my disciple, if you don't get the Yuan Dzi Bead," Feng Li said without any turbulence, "then you don't have to come back from Xiangxi."

Jiang Luo: "..."

In order to be able to return from Xiangxi, Jiang Luo ran to the study and stayed up all night. After such ten days passed, Jiang Luo finally finished reading a book shelf.

After reading the book, Feng Li stared at him again to practice the talisman. Jiang Luo saw Senior Brother Qiao several times during this period, but Senior Brother Qiao seemed to be back to normal, and Jiang Luo didn't see the shadow of Chi You again from him.

One month passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the third round of the game.

Early in the morning, Jiang Luo put on his schoolbag and went downstairs. Feng Li was waiting for him in the hall. On the long wooden table in the hall were writing brushes and cinnabar. Feng Li burned his hands with incense and said to him, "Come here."

Jiang Luo walked over.

Feng Li said, "Sit down."

After Jiang Luoyiyan sat down, Feng Li took a brush and dipped a bowl of water, and suddenly raised his hand to shake Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo closed his eyes subconsciously, and Qing Shui fell on him in twos and threes. Afterwards, Feng Li dipped the cinnabar with a brush and stood in front of Jiang Luo.

The black-haired youth's eyelids moved, and Feng Li said, "Don't move."

Jiang Luo didn't open his eyes again.

Feng Li turned the brush in his hand, turning the front and back upside down. Holding the slender black penholder with his slender fingers, he gently pulled open the collar of Jiang Luo's shirt.

The neck is exposed and the collarbone is exposed. Feng Li’s light-colored eyes reflected the appearance of a black-haired young man. He lightly tapped on Jiang Luo’s shoulder twice, and the two already folded little figures jumped on Jiang Luo’s shoulders and dragged him. Wearing Jiang Luo's clothes.

Feng Li just finished writing.

The red cinnabar coiled around Jiang Luo's neck and even his heart, forming a complex shape like a vine. Feng Li drew in no rush, and when the last stroke was completed, Fu Lu's golden light flashed and disappeared from Jiang Luo's body.

Feng Li put away the brush, cast a glance at the young man, and said, "Okay."

Jiang Luo opened his eyes and looked at himself, but saw nothing, "Master, what did you paint?"

"A life-saving talisman," Feng Li asked his disciples to pack up their things, and said to Jiang Luo, "The third pass is different from the first two. You must be careful and cautious first."

What the judges teacher said, every word may be a reminder, Jiang Luo remembered it in his heart, "I know."

Feng Li nodded: "Go ahead."

Jiang Luo packed up his clothes, took his backpack and left the Tianshi's Mansion, and went to the school to meet up with his classmates.

The group boarded the plane and arrived in Xiangxi three hours later.

This time, Mr. Wan was still leading the team. After Mr. Wan and the staff handed over, Jiang Luo and his party took the bus for another four hours.

The bus transferred to China bus, and finally sat on the bread and bumped for an hour before reaching the destination. When they finally got out of the bus, several people in the group vomited.

After all the vomiting was done, they walked into the resting place in a daze.

The game will not start until tomorrow. They will spend the night in the rest area tonight, but the room prepared for them by the competition is very simple, like a temporary construction, and the red bricks have not been painted with white paint. Twenty-two quilts are spread from the beginning to the end against the walls on both sides, which is a big shop.

Lu Yi's luggage fell to the ground, his mouth opened wide, "Shall we live here?"

The staff member smiled and said, "Are you happy? How lively you young people live together at night."

"Is there a place to take a bath?" Zhuo Zhongqiu asked.

The staff took them to see the bathroom and toilet. The bathroom was a plastic shed with several plastic basins and foot-soaking buckets. As for the toilet, it is the traditional rural style.

The group couldn't speak anymore. After returning to the Chase, they resignedly found nine beds.

Zhuo Zhongqiu was a girl. They let Zhuo Zhongqiu fall asleep against the wall. The others lined up, and nine people instantly took up almost half of the mattress.

Jiang Luo counted the number of beds, "That's not right, why are there 22 beds."

After the end of the second level, it was obvious that thirty people had successfully advanced.

"Eight people retired," the staff member regretted. "Actually, five people ate the fungus in Yunnan and went to the hospital after they went back. They lie down for a month and haven't recovered."

Jiang Luo and his party: "..."

Sigh.

The people from Baihua University were the first to come. They drove a day’s journey today. They only ate Chinese food on the plane, and vomited again after getting off the bus. After clearing their beds, a few people were hungry and found the staff, but Only got a box of instant noodles, a box of soda water and nine ham sausages.

Even Ge Zhu, who is able to endure hardship, turned pale, "The tournament party is too ruthless."

Jiang Luo sighed. As the only person in the group who could cook, he asked the staff for an iron pan, and asked his companions to pick up firewood, find some forest vegetables, and set up the iron pan on the spot. .

Wen Renlian squatted aside and watched curiously, and the person who specifically asked to find vegetables said, "Don't make a mistake."

Otherwise, they would have missed the game completely like the five men who ate the fungus and lay in the hospital.

Kuang Zheng's family is used to hard times. He knows what vegetables can look like better than Wenrenlian. But he nodded earnestly, and walked into the forest after helping Jiang set the stove.

Half an hour later, Kuang Zheng came back. He brought back not only a handful of vegetables, but also a long-eared rabbit with its fur.

Jiang Luo had already started a fire, surrounded by a group of curious people. When they saw the rabbit in Kuang Zheng's hand, their eyes lit up, "Roast rabbit to eat?"

Jiang Luo touched his chin, "Yes."

In less than ten minutes, the water in the iron pan boiled, and Jiang Luo put a full eighteen packets of instant noodles in it.

Probably those who work in this industry will consume the body and need to eat more food to replenish energy. They can eat scary people regardless of men and women. On the surface, I looked gentle, but I didn't feel that it could kill three bowls of rice in one bite.

After putting the instant noodles, Jiang Luo put the two tomato slices that Wen Renlian had requested from the staff into the pot, put some seasonings in the right amount, and left some for roasting rabbit meat.

The vegetables were put in at the end, and between the red soup tumbling, the wavy instant noodles sandwiched green vegetables and ham, and the aroma of tomatoes and instant noodles intertwined, arousing people's gluttons, and the sound of drooling sounded one after another.

The eyes of the people who had been exhausted all day staring at the iron pan were almost red.

Lu Yi wiped his saliva and ran to borrow the table and chopsticks from the staff.

Qi Ye didn't know how many times he exclaimed, "You can still cook."

"It's just cooking instant noodles. Isn't it a trivial thing?" Jiang Luo put the rabbit on the fire cleanly and roasted, and raised the corners of his lips at him. Name?"

Qi Ye whispered: "We still have to grab it."

Probably because he was embarrassed to say something like this after eating food cooked by someone else, his voice was as low as a mosquito.

Jiang Luo was amused.

The aroma of tomato instant noodles spread throughout the rest area, and Mr. Wan also came to have a meal and said cheerfully: "This instant noodles, cooked and soaked are really two flavors."

After Jiang Luo said it was okay to eat, ten pairs of chopsticks quickly reached the iron pot, and the instant noodle brake was half less.

Jiang Luo was the first to serve a bowl of instant noodles by Lu Yi. He sat down comfortably while drinking tomato soup when he heard the rolling sound of a suitcase pulley approaching.

Jiang Luo looked up and saw a pale-faced contestant walking slowly.

This person had a cough in three steps, his facial features were correct, but his figure was as thin as morbid, his face was bloodless, even the hands holding the suitcase were pale and slender, and the cyan blood veins appeared clearly.

The contestant also saw them, smiled weakly at them, and walked over slowly, "Hello."

"Hello," Jiang Luo retracted his gaze and smiled friendly, "Are you?"

The lip color was dyed red and gorgeous because of the red soup.

"My name is Liao Si," Liao Si coughed in a low voice, "Are you eating?"

This person seems to have exhausted his effort to say two sentences, but the light from the corner of his eye glanced at the iron pot, but it implicitly and euphemistically conveyed his meaning.

Jiang Luo said politely: "Would you like to eat together?"

Liao Si smiled: "Thank you."

He put his luggage aside, sat slowly beside Jiang Luo, took the bowl and chopsticks that Lu Yi handed him, and gently filled a bowl of instant noodles from the iron pan.

"It's delicious," Liao Si let out a sigh of relief, turning his head and whispering to Jiang Luo, "I almost killed me when I walked this way."

He looked very sick and weak, and with his appearance, being able to walk here was considered a success. Jiang Luo asked, "Where are you from?"

Liao Si smiled embarrassedly, "I'm from Xiangxi."

Jiang Luo: "...Tough hard."

Liao Si smiled bitterly and said, "I am not in good health. I don't have the hard work of your journey, but I don't seem to be as energetic as you are."

Jiang Luo smiled and said, "Do you know where we are from?"

Liao Si smiled slightly, "In the third round of contestants, only Shanhai University and Baihua University will have so many people together. Besides, I watched the live video on the website, and I don’t recognize other people, I always recognize you. This first place."

Teacher Wan suddenly said, "Your name is Liao Si, and you are a native of Xiangxi. Are you a descendant of the old Liao family, the corpse driver in Xiangxi?"

A group of people looked at Liao Si for an instant, who smiled calmly and nodded, "Yes."

"The descendants of the old Liao family have grown up," Teacher Wan said with deep emotion, "How is your father's health?"

"My father is in good health," Liao Si didn't seem to want to talk more. He looked at the rabbit and slowly reminded, "Is the rabbit baked?"

Jiang Luo looked down and saw that the rabbit had been roasted to a honey color, and layers of oil particles had slipped from the skin, and it was indeed healed.

He took the rabbit down, distributed it to everyone with a dagger, and specially gave Kuang Zheng a rabbit leg.

Liao Si also got a piece of tender meat, he tasted it carefully, then sighed and said it was delicious.

A pot of tomato instant noodles was completely eaten by everyone, and the sweet and sour and delicious soup was also seen. Everyone rested for a while and took Liao Si back to the room.

Liao Si chose the bed next to Baihua University, which was on the left side of Jiang Luo.

In the dense forest, the mobile phone has no signal. Fortunately, Lu Yi brought two decks of playing cards. While they were playing cards, the rest of the contestants also arrived at the scene one after another.

Twenty-two people squeezed into the Chase shop without a shortage.

When there were more people, it became lively. As Liao Si said, most of the 22 contestants were from Shanhai University and Baihua University. Others were scattered, all came alone.

The contestants also had some conscience. Instead of letting them, the contestants, boil hot water themselves, they provided hot water. After everyone had washed up in the rudimentary environment, the judges and staff walked into their room.

There are a lot of six judges and teachers, and it is Feng Li who stands at the forefront. Feng Li's expression was light, and his body had never been stained with dust due to the bumps in the road. The staff standing next to him held a tray in his hand. The tray was filled with yellow paper, cinnabar, black dog blood, and a wad of already written symbols.

The staff member said: "In view of the Baiyefeng who was possessed by the evil spirit in the last level of the competition, we are now going to check the physical condition of the participants, and please cooperate."

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile: "Unexpected joy."

Looking at this posture, even if Chi You really hid among the crowd, he would be picked out.

Sitting next to him, Liao Si's hair was gently scattered in front of his forehead, watching the judges and teachers who have started to detect contestants from the tail, and said warmly: "This is the first time I have seen six teachers appear together."

Soon, the judges and teachers came to Shirakaba University.

The six judges and teachers have different images, but each has its own characteristics. Among them was a bald monk. The bald monk looked at Jiang Luo and the others with a smile, "These are all acquaintances of the teachers."

In the end, his gaze was fixed on Ge Zhu. Ge Zhu sat cross-legged with his back straight, but his head was down and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Ge Zhu," the bald monk sighed faintly, his voice lowered, "Are you not planning to come back?"

Jiang Luo looked at Ge Zhu sideways, and the corners of Ge Zhu's mouth tightened, "Master Chengde, the trail has entered the door."

Master Chengde gave a wry smile, shook his head and stopped talking.

Feng Li walked to Jiang Luo's body, "Raise his hand."

Jiang Luo retracted his gaze and Yiyan raised his hand.

By his side, Liao Si was being checked by Zhuo Zhengyu. First, the black dog blood spots on the eyebrows, if the black dog blood does not respond, then use the talisman, and after the talisman does not respond, then it is determined that the person is not possessed by the evil spirit.

This is not enough. The judges and teachers will also write a talisman that will strengthen the soul and suppress the evil spirits on the students on the spot to prevent them from being invaded by evil spirits during the competition.

When Jiang Luo was better, the others were almost better. Feng Li glanced at him one last time, and followed the judges and teachers to the next group of people.

Liao Si looked at the curse on the back of his hand, seemingly smiled, "The teachers are so skilled, so many spells are drawn, and there is no stagnation."

Jiang Luo said, "After all, it is the Six Great Masters."

He got up and walked to Wenrenlian's side, and patted Wenrenlian, "Wenren, which of the six people is from the Chi family?"

Wen Renlian said: "The second from the left is."

Jiang Luo looked to the second left and saw a middle-aged man with a serious face. He was holding a pen to write a symbol for a student. There was nothing strange on his face, but beads of sweat were gradually secreting from his forehead.

"That's Chi You's clan uncle," Wen Ren sneered for a moment, "a waste of incompetence."

Jiang Luo smiled, "I rarely hear you say such things."

"Because the fact that he did it is disgusting," Lu Yi also snorted coldly. "Ten years ago, someone asked him to do things. He almost killed the family because of his carelessness. After the trouble, he evaded the responsibility. With regard to the younger Brother Chi You, it must be said that Brother Chi You secretly did it on his behalf without his permission."

"Ge Chi You has a good temper, and he actually carried this scapegoat. I don't know how many years he has been scolded." Lu Yi clenched his fist. "In these years, Brother Chi You doesn't know how many scapegoats have been carried on the side of the Chi family. ...It is still that Brother Chi You had more friends. After his popularity got better, everyone discovered that Chi You had such a good temper and was not a person who would do those evil things. That's why Chi You's innocence was returned."

Jiang Luo almost thought he had heard it wrong.

Make Chi You a scapegoat?

He almost laughed, is this serious?

Let Chi You carry the scapegoat, Chi You still obediently carry it, not only did it, but the person who made him carry the scapegoat survived to the present?

"How about the Chi family who caused Chi You to be in a scapegoat?" He asked enthusiastically. Although this clan uncle is still alive, the others are not necessarily anymore.

Wen Ren Lian said coldly: "Except for infamy on their backs, they are still alive and well."

Jiang Luo was taken aback.

how is this possible.

With Chi Yuna's cruel and cruel nature, how could he be bullied but not retaliate back?

Jiang Luo frowned, feeling a faint weirdness.

"The Chi family over the years," he asked, "hasn't the collaterals died?"

Another voice came from behind him, "In the past few years of the Chi family, the direct descendants have died, but none of the collaterals have ever had an accident."

Liao Si slowly sat next to Jiang Luo, smiled at Jiang Luo and said, "You say it's weird."

strangeness.

Very strange.

According to Chi Yu's character, he will never let go of those who touch him.

It stands to reason that the few people who dared to let Chi You take the blame should have been retaliated against by Chi You long ago.

Jiang Luo wanted to ask more questions, but the six judges had already checked all the students, and the staff smiled and said, "Everyone go to bed early."

It was getting late, Jiang Luo stopped thinking of continuing to ask, and returned to his bed with Liao Si. Before lying down, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Liao Si, who was slowly tidying up his pillow, "How do you know about the Chi family? ?"

"Because I'm very curious," Liaosi smiled implicitly, "I am a corpse chaser. I want to see Chi You's corpse after knowing that Chi You is dead, but I am not in good health, so hurry up. When I arrived at Chi's house, Chi You's funeral was over."

"In those few days I lived in Chi's house, and I learned a lot."

Jiang Luo didn't see any doubts, he nodded and lay back under the quilt.

The lights were turned off, moonlight penetrated through the window, and the moonlight in the forest was extremely bright. Jiang Luo breathed the cold night breath, and his sleepiness gradually hit.

But when he was about to fall asleep, his scalp hurts, and his whole person instantly wakes up from his sleep.

Turning his head to see, it turned out that Liao Si accidentally pressed the end of his hair. Jiang Luo rubbed his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Liao Si, you pressed my hair."

Liao Si raised his arm and apologized: "Sorry."
