Lord of Nine Stars

As night falls, in the vast snow forest, gusts of cold wind howl, rolling up layers of wind and snow, and it feels like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Outside the cave, it was dark and cold.

Inside the cave, it was a different scene.

In Ruoda's cave, a team of five people had already lit a bonfire. The dancing fire not only brought light but also warmth to the place.

And above the bonfire, there was a small pot with mushroom shredded pork soup boiling in it.

Whether it is a small pot or a soup, they are all materials provided by the school, especially the military ration soup, which is full of fragrance and makes people drool.

Xu Taiping didn't come all day long, and now that it was night, Rong Taotao was of course even more vigilant.

He held Fang Tian's painted halberd in his arms and leaned against the entrance of the cave. While absorbing the ice and snow attribute soul power, he tried to improve his soul magic realm. On the one hand, he was also secretly wary of the outside environment.

Beside the bonfire, Sun Xingyu was nestling in Li Ziyi's arms and talking quietly.

And Sun Xingyu's roommate Zhou Ting always peeked at the two of them from time to time, her eyes full of envy.

"Rong Taotao."

"Huh?" Rong Taotao turned around and saw Lu Mang holding a long sword.

Lu Mang: "Let's allocate the vigil time. We have to survive here for 7 days. We must take turns to keep watch to ensure the physical strength and energy of all members of the team."

"Yeah" Rong Taotao nodded. This is why he must form a team and seek win-win cooperation.

The forest and snowfield at night are far more terrifying than the forest and snowfield during the day.

"We two will guard the first post." From deep in the cave, Li Ziyi's unique drake voice came.

Rong Taotao felt terribly uncomfortable and said, "I said, can you grow up quickly? If not, just develop your voice first. Your face will be blinded in vain."

"The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry." Li Ziyi snorted coldly and squeezed his "beloved concubine" tightly in his arms.

Damn it?

Is this guy good at talking?

Rong Taotao was about to say something when he heard a shout coming from the forest in the distance: "Is there anyone in front of you?"

Rong Taotao and Lu Mang, who was beside him, looked at each other and clenched the weapons in their hands.

At the same time, the three people in the cave also stood up.

"Great! Great!" Accompanied by a burst of joyful voices, several figures holding flashlights quickly walked towards the cave with the flickering light of fire.

"Hello, hello! It's so happy to see the same kind of people!" A student strode forward, and even with the big goggles on his face, you could see his extremely excited expression.

His face did not turn red with excitement. Instead, his face turned pale and his body was trembling. He looked very cold.

Rong Taotao remained silent, looking at several students walking out of the wind and snow, his thoughts turning rapidly.

"Can we stay here? It's too windy and cold outside, and it's so dark. If this continues, we will be easily attacked by spirit beasts." The student pulled down his goggles and looked at Lu Mang with a pleading look. .

Rong Taotao was leaning against the entrance of the cave, while Lu Mang was standing in the "C" position.

There were six people in the opposing team, and they obviously cooperated to survive just like Rong Taotao's team.

"Classmate, let us settle here and help." A pleading message came from among the people behind.

Lu Mang turned to look at Rong Taotao, but Rong Taotao shrugged his shoulders and turned to look into the cave.

At this moment, Zhou Ting, who was standing by the bonfire and secretly observing the situation, acted like an ostrich, looked away from Rong Taotao, and said nothing.

In this extremely special environment, there is no such thing as "non-committal". Zhou Ting did not nod or express anything, which already represented her inner resistance.

For this group of middle school students, this assessment method is indeed embarrassing.

On the one hand, they have to cooperate to survive, but on the other hand, all the students participating in the assessment are competitors.

Sun Xingyu and Li Ziyi looked at each other, then turned to Rong Taotao and said, "The cave is very spacious, so you decide."

"Can you please tell me something!? I'm freezing to death!" A female voice came out, very impatient, but she was pulled by the person next to her and she immediately shut her mouth.

Form is stronger than people. At this time, the new team was tired from the journey and could hardly stand, let alone fight or rob the cave.

They really had no choice. Seeing the fire was equivalent to seeing hope, and they came forward without hesitation.

With no way out, they had no intention of considering whether Rong Taotao's team would be detrimental to them.

Rong Taotao tilted his head towards the cave and said: "Have a rest, but there are some things to say ahead. We will only take you in for one night. Our team has enough people. Tomorrow morning, you have to set off to find another place to stay."

"Huh, you really think of this as your home." The girl curled her lips, her voice was loud, and she stepped forward.

The favored men of heaven obviously all have character.

What's more, these are a group of children who have not yet entered society. If they are spoiled by their families, then nothing out of their mouths will be surprising.

Of course, let alone ignorant children, there are also many adult giant babies in this strange world, and there are always some rotten people who regard other people's help and charity as their due.

Rong Taotao has always been a person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. He held Fang Tian's painted halberd in one hand and pointed far away in the direction of the voice, "If you don't hold on, you can leave."

The male student in front stepped forward quickly, put his trembling palm on the pole of Fang Tian's painted halberd, and pressed it down gently: "Hey, buddy, misunderstanding, we are frozen. , the body was almost frozen.

After walking for a day, everyone is in a hurry, sorry, sorry, we will leave tomorrow morning, we will leave tomorrow morning."

Listening to the unique vocabulary and apologetic words, Rong Taotao grinned and put down Fang Tian's painted halberd.

The people at the entrance of the cave filed in and walked quickly towards the cave with the flickering fire.

"Myolie." Rong Taotao suddenly said.

"Ah?" Sun Xingyu was watching a few people gathering around the fire to keep warm. When she heard Rong Taotao's words, she turned to look.

Rong Taotao: "Talk to them about the night watch rotation. Since we live here, everyone has to share the responsibility for the safety tonight."

"Oh." Sun Xingyu accepted the task.

Obviously, among Rong Taotao's five-person team, Sun Xingyu should be the best at "talking" and the most suitable to serve as a diplomat.

Li Ziyi said: "Call me by my full name, no nicknames."

Rong Taotao felt uncomfortable because he had discovered that Li Ziyi didn't talk much. Whenever he spoke, it was either to protect Sun Xingyu or to antagonize Rong Taotao.

Li Ziyi's mouth seems to have grown just for these two things?

Rong Taotao: "Li Zi, shut up!"

Li Ziyi:? ? ?

Well, not only did Sun Xingyu get a nickname, but Li Ziyi was not spared either.

"Then what are you? Haha." Sun Xingyu covered her mouth and snickered. Her youthful and sweet appearance warmed up the atmosphere in the cave a lot.

The scenery is delicious and pleasing to the eye.

Under the red cotton hat, Sun Xingyu's beautiful big eyes blinked and said, "Are you Tao'er?"

Rong Taotao: ""

Sun Xingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, she pointed at Lu Mang and said, "You are Mango!"

Lu Mang's expression froze slightly.

He is the sharp one, not the mango, well, it is indeed.

"Then who are you?" Sun Xingyu looked at Zhou Ting, thinking hard about the vocabulary in her little head.

Zhou Ting twitched the corner of her mouth in embarrassment.

Rong Taotao got out of the way in time and said: "Zhou Ting never expected that she would come all the way to this ice and snow to form a team with Guopan."

Zhou Ting lowered her head silently, her shoulders couldn't help but tremble a little, as if she was having a hard time holding back her laughter.

"Wow, it's so warm." The girl in the other team finally revealed her true face. After taking off her goggles, she was staring at the soup boiling on the fire, and picked up the soup on the side. cup, and scooped myself a cup of soup.

Such a scene was of course seen by everyone.

At the entrance of the cave, Lu Mang had an expressionless face, but Rong Taotao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Drink some, warm yourself up." Sun Xingyu came to her senses and said hello without saying too much.

Several other people from the other team put down their schoolbags and looked for cups in their bags.

At the entrance of the cave, Lu Mang turned around, looked out at the dark forest of wind and snow, and suddenly said: "Since ancient times, peaches have nourished people, apricots have hurt people, and dead people have been buried under plum trees."

Rong Taotao was obviously stunned.

What the hell?

Although this kid doesn't talk much, he speaks in one phrase after another. He is quite literary?

Rong Taotao looked at Lu Mang with a strange look on his face and said, "I support people? Who said that?"

Lu Mang: "It has been said since ancient times."

Rong Taotao: "Since ancient times, a saying has guided me to raise people?

Gee, I thought I couldn’t find a girlfriend in this life, if that’s what I said

I will have at least two girlfriends in the future, one at home and one outside.

I followed the instructions of my ancestors and found a mistress~ It was perfect! "

Lu Mangqing glanced at Rong Taotao expressionlessly and found out that the two parties were not thinking on the same level. He did not refute, but said lightly: "I wish you success."

Rong Taotao smiled, showing his white teeth, and gave Lu Mang a thumbs up!

"Hello, buddy, my name is Zheng Tianpeng." A male voice came from behind. It was the student who was walking in front of the team and negotiating with Rong Taotao.

Rong Taotao turned around, looked at the palm offered by the other party, and reached out to hold it.

Even though both of them were wearing gloves, Rong Taotao could clearly feel the coldness of the other's palms.

"Thank you for letting us stay here." Zheng Tianpeng had a good attitude and said with a smile.

"Ah, it's okay." Rong Taotao nodded casually.

Zheng Tianpeng: "Classmate Sun Xingyu has been assigned. There will be one person on each side of us. Starting from 9 o'clock in the evening, the guard will change every two hours."

Rong Taotao tilted his head slightly and glanced over Zheng Tianpeng's shoulder. When he saw Sun Xingyu, he gave her a thumbs up.

Sun Xingyu's arrangement is very reasonable. Each party has one person to take care of each other and supervise each other.

"Our team member Wen Ying just had a bad attitude. Today is really hard. Please be understanding and bear with me," Zheng Tianpeng said with a smile.

Rong Taotao nodded casually and said nothing.

Vaguely, Rong Taotao felt someone watching him. He turned around and saw the girl named Wen Ying, holding a cup in her hand, turning her head and looking away.

After Zheng Tianpeng left, Lu Mang took a step across, came to Rong Taotao's side, and said softly: "Why bother you and agree to take them in? Are you kind-hearted?"

Rong Taotao: "The school has not given any assessment standards. Do you think that at this special moment, if we take in these students and provide them with protection, will the school give extra points to our team members?"

Lu Mang nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, there are at least 11 soldiers guarding the place in the dark. Of course, they will all see this scene.

Rong Taotao's team's actions of sheltering and protecting fellow human beings will most likely be a bonus option.

Of course, if this is a bonus point, then during the day, when the team members unintentionally interfered and Xu Taiping left in a misunderstanding, I don't know whether it is a bonus point or a deduction.

I just hope that the soldiers will have some judgment in their hearts.

After all, Rong Taotao made it clear: they never wanted to drive Xu Taiping out of his footing, they just needed an apology.

Lu Mang looked at Rong Taotao silently and said, "I thought you were a sincere, friendly and kind-hearted person."

Rong Taotao: "If you say that, then I won't be stubborn with you."

Lu Mang: ""

There will be another update later.
