Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

……

The vehicle drove slowly. Bai Yu looked at the location on his phone and found that they had arrived twenty kilometers outside of Nanling.

I will be living outside of school for the next week.

For Bai Yu, it is not a difficult thing. An adult can sleep without a bed.

Generally speaking, practical courses in modern society would not have any excessive parts, but he could not guarantee whether there would be any strange tests in this world.

There were only eleven students in the same car, nine boys and two girls.

The two girls were both students of Class 5 and were good friends. They were traveling with three boys from Class 5.

These five people formed a group, and excluding Bai Yu and Kong Wen, the remaining four people came from separate classes, were not familiar with each other, and did not form a group.

After Bai Yu woke up Kong Wen, the group got off the car. As soon as they got off the car, they noticed that there was an ancient town in front of them.

Although it was three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was a little dark and there was mist in the air. The water vapor saturation was comparable to the rainy days in the south. Sleeping here would definitely make it damp.

The roads here are barely two-lane, and the buses are parked next to the bus stops, which are also quite old and covered with rust.

"Students, follow me." Teacher Jiang, who was in charge of the team, walked forward holding a yellow flag. There were red words on the yellow flag, which looked like cinnabar.

A dozen students followed the teacher forward. After walking for a while, they followed the path in the woods and soon saw a stone archway in front of them. The name of the village was written on the stone archway.

——Xintongshui Village

We walked up the ladder to the interior of Shi Village, where the buildings were of different heights. The buildings on both sides were very old and looked a bit dilapidated, much like the now dilapidated Ningchang Ancient Town. Now that no one was living there, the village, which was originally built beside the mountain, seemed quite deserted and quiet.

Even the pedestrian street in the center is narrow, only wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through, not even a car.

"Tongtong, the scenery here is so beautiful." said the girl with purple hair.

"Yes, Shanshan, it's so beautiful here. If I had known there was such a place, I should have come here earlier to check in." Another girl with dyed red hair also raised her mobile phone to take pictures.

Just as the students were looking at the somewhat dilapidated village, the teacher stopped and saw a row of white tents not far away.

Finally, there was some popularity here. There was a white tent with the word "Xuantian" written in black ink, with a flamboyant and vivid stroke.

This shows that these people are members of the Xuantian Division stationed here.

There were some arguments coming from inside.

"It's already this late, why are you still bringing in more students? Isn't that just adding to the chaos?"

"It's okay, it's just a minor issue. This place won't be affected... It's just a few students. Based on observations from previous years, there won't be any problems. The miasma is only a few kilometers away from the ghost cave. It won't affect here."

"Where's the ghost? I ask you, where's the ghost?"

"I went to the City God earlier and borrowed some ghosts. Don't worry... they're enough to make up the numbers."

The voices were very low. If Bai Yu had not been extraordinary, he would not have been able to hear the conversation through the tent.

The students were asked to wait where they were, and then Teacher Jiang led the way into the tent: "Hello, I'm the team leader from Nanling No. 3 Middle School. I'm sorry to bother you, Xuan Tiansi..."

"You're welcome. It's no trouble. For the flowers of the motherland, how could it be troublesome?"

The anxious voice before now spoke in a human way and had a smile on his face.

Soon two people came out of the tent, a Taoist priest and a monk.

But the Taoist priest was not wearing Taoist robes. Instead, he was wearing a black shirt and tie, looking more like an office worker than an office worker.

The monk was not wearing a cassock or robes, but dressed like a rock singer. Apart from a string of Buddhist beads around his neck and a bald head, there was no trace of Buddhism in him. He didn't even have any scars on his head.

"Classmates, let me introduce you." Teacher Jiang raised his hand: "This is Taoist Priest Zhao Ping'an from Liuyun Temple, his Taoist name is Anping."

Zhao Pingan bowed and said, "I greet all my classmates, Wuliang Tianzun."

"This is the high monk from Lingyin Temple, Master Kongjian."

"Amitabha... Greetings to all of you young donors."

The two people from Xuantiansi greeted each other.

This is a rare scene, at least in the previous life it was not easy to see monks and Taoists appearing in the same frame. Although Taoism emphasizes tranquility and inaction, monks are really competing for business.

There has been talk of destroying Buddhism since ancient times, because monks are really rich...much richer than Taoists.

It can be seen from the appearance that Zhao Ping'an looks very thin, while Kong Jian is quite plump. The food must be good.

Because they didn't show any hostility, it was impossible to tell what level these two senior civil servants of Xuantiansi were. I guessed that they were not at the third level of transcendence.

Otherwise, how could I be assigned to take care of the children?

The two people from Xuantiansi exchanged a few words, but did not arrange any teaching tasks or start practical courses.

Master Kongjian said that Xinshi Village would be the teaching location for the week and everyone could move freely.

Taoist Priest Anping also said that they would gather again in the evening.

So the students dispersed in groups of three or five.

"You have no suspicion or vigilance at all." Bai Yu shook his head. "You will suffer in the future."

Only the old hands who have experienced the harshness of society could smell something unusual at the beginning... It's like the company suddenly arranges a team-building event on a weekday, and it doesn't even take up the rest time. At this time, you must be on guard against the company boss's surprise attack, there must be something fishy!

Chapter 133 It’s really weird!

"Don't tell me, the scenery here is quite nice."

Kong Wen stretched his arms and looked at a two-story building not far away: "There must have been a lot of people here before."

Bai Yu asked back, "Then why do you think no one lives here now? It's only about ten kilometers away from Nanling."

Kong Wen scratched his head and asked, "Relocation?"

Bai Yu showed a very subtle expression: "It's up to you to imagine."

Kong Wen obviously thought of something bad, and hurriedly made up his mind, and caught up with him in three or two steps: "Hey, wait for me!"

The eleven students then dispersed.

Bai Yu was walking on the central street, looking around as if he was looking for something.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at one thing," Bai Yu said. "Any human gathering place can't be without reason. And this town looks quite large. It must have had at least a thousand people living here in the past. With so many people living here, I think there must be a pillar industry or something."

"industry?"

"The economic base determines the superstructure. Thousands of people living together can't be supported by agriculture alone. And this is clearly a town, not a village. If it were a village, most people would live more dispersedly in one-story houses to protect their farmland. But here, most houses are tiled, some with two stories, and there aren't even any roads." Bai Yu raised his finger and asked, "So, what exactly brings thousands of people here?"

Kong Wen didn't quite understand what he heard, so he asked, "Is it the canteen?"

"It's commerce." Bai Yu stroked his chin, scanning the area for buildings worth noting. "A distinctive business can attract enough residents. If this distinctive industry collapses, residents will naturally move out. This is the reason for the decline of many heavily industrialized cities."

"Why do I feel like you should go to the industry and commerce department to take practical courses?" Kong Wen asked curiously, "Your focus is so strange."

Bai Yu shook his head. "I just don't know what kind of unique industries are here... Don't you think it's strange? It's just a few dozen kilometers away from Nanling, with no mountains, no water, and not even any farmland. What kind of business is it doing?"

“Isn’t there a mountain?”

"It's different. We live off the mountain and the water. Do you think we live off the mountain means literally gnawing on the rocks? It means hunting, or mining ore, or cutting down trees to make wooden products." Bai Yu looked towards the village. "And this place obviously doesn't do timber business, otherwise we wouldn't see any carpenters."

"What about mining the stone?"

"If they were mining for stone, they would be mining in the nearby mountains. And mining requires building roads. Even the mountain roads here are only average."

Kong Wen was also confused. He couldn't help but touch his chin and began to think. Suddenly, he thought of the archway he had seen before: "Isn't the name of this village called Copper Village? It must be a copper mine."

Bai Yu said, "I'm not sure about that. Perhaps they've abandoned mining because their copper reserves have run out."

He continued walking forward, intending to go and see the archway before.

As I walked, I felt something was wrong.

"Why is it getting dark so quickly? Is it going to rain heavily?"

"Maybe God just drank too much."

Bai Yu replied and suddenly stopped, because they were walking along a road, but instead of seeing the archway, they saw a river.

"This river didn't exist when we came here." Kong Wen reached out and scooped up some water. The river was turbulent and the water level was rising. "It's over. We can't get through."

At this moment, the head of a small white-haired animal popped out of the backpack in Bai Yu's arms. Qin Xuezao transmitted a message, "There's an evil spirit in the river... It's not ordinary water. Tell your classmates to retreat."

When Bai Yu heard this, he saw Kong Wen in front of him suddenly push his body forward, almost jumping into the rushing river. Fortunately, he was quick enough to grab the back of his neck.

I tried to pull it back, but I couldn't pull it.

It was as if several phantom hands grabbed his neck and pulled him down.

At this time, Kong Wen's head had already been immersed in the river water, but he had no reaction at all. He must have been drinking too much fish soup.

Bai Yu gathered all his energy and kicked Kong Wen in the butt, then grabbed his hind legs and pulled him back, pushing and pulling him out of the river.

The latter was distracted with river water flowing from his mouth, and it was only when Bai Yu slapped him that he came back to his senses and shuddered.

Kong Wen spat out several mouthfuls of river water and wiped his mouth: "What's going on?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?" Bai Yu asked, his hands folded behind his back, "Are you crazy?"

"It probably didn't go in, or maybe it went in a little bit... I just saw a girl in the water, and I wanted to save her, and then she grabbed me, and then kissed me hard and..." Kong Wen reacted at this point and immediately covered his mouth: "What did you spit into my mouth?"

"Don't worry, it's just some fresh fish soup from nature." Bai Yu looked at him strangely: "But were you just kissed by a female ghost?"

"Ugh..." Kong Wen began to vomit, spitting out a few pieces of water plants.

"And green aquatic plants. Your diet is quite rich."

"Stop talking, damn it, this is too..." Kong Wen felt sick.

"No matter what, if this gets out, the fact that you gave your first kiss to a ghost girl will probably spread throughout No. 3 Middle School."

"Don't do that! You can't do that!"

"It's nothing. I remember a senior who was a Undead Knight. He woke up from a sleep and found himself lying naked in front of a grave." Bai Yu gave a thumbs up. "Why don't you consider following their example?"

"But that senior was always rejected when he went out on blind dates!" Kong Wen glared. "Many people said it was used by ghosts, so it's second-hand goods, or second-hand goods returned from the underworld, and can't be used anymore!"

"Small problem. I remember he married some cuckold girl? He seemed quite happy."

"As a result, I'm forced to cheat on my wife with a ghost every now and then. It's too miserable!" Kong Wen can still remember the expression of the senior who took good care of him, tears in his eyes and the pain in his heart as the bitter wine went down his throat. He was so angry that his hands and feet were cold in the hot weather and he asked, "Do you think this world can ever get better?" It was full of bitterness, and it made people...

Belly laugh.

"How can we repeat the same mistakes!" Kong Wen glared. "Besides, Senior said that the female ghost has no body at all. She just created an illusion for you. It's like sleeping in a dream. It's completely imaginary. In reality, she didn't even touch you... It's abominable. It's simply a cyber hoax!"

Bai Yu suddenly asked, "By the way, what does that female ghost look like?"

Just as I finished speaking, I felt my wrist being bitten by some petty person.

"Very good." Kong Wen gave a thumbs up: "The wet body is tempting, the breasts are big and the butt is round."

It was obvious that although he felt disgusted, he also enjoyed it a little.

"So you can't make the same mistake again?"

"I caught the ghost girl's sugar-coated bullet, licked the sugar coating clean, and shot the bullet back!"

"So you want to try again?"

"No, no, I'm full." Kong Wen waved his hand: "Come back tomorrow."

"Is it really that exciting?"

"That's right? That girl is a dream girl!"

Bai Yu commented: "That's it, it feels worse than..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard the river water rising again, and the water touched the soles of his feet. A hand stretched out from the water and grabbed Bai Yu's ankle.

The next moment, he used his power and burst out with thunder and lightning force, kicking the female ghost in the face and kicking her back into the water. Her face was kicked into a two-dimensional paper figure on the spot.

"Your dream lover has been compressed into a zip." Bai Yu turned around and took a step forward: "Run!"

Kong Wen also ran over, cursing as he ran: "What the hell! What's going on?! Can't get out?"

"We are trapped, most likely..."

"I understand, it's social practice, but I was almost killed by a water ghost just now!" Kong Wen said angrily: "This is too dangerous!"

"Social practice classes... there's always going to be one or two dropouts, that's normal." Bai Yu said calmly, "This is the cruelty of social Darwinism. The weak ones will be eliminated!"

"If I'm not mistaken, when we get back to the town center, it'll be empty, with only some supplies and boxes left. Then we'll have a battle royale here, and only one person can survive to the end and win the game."
