Eighth Crown

Among the shrines on the mountainside, the atmosphere here is very heavy.

The arrival of Liu Xia and Shanyi did not attract anyone’s attention. Everyone was immersed in their own thoughts, and the expressions on their faces were more or less tense.

This is the venue for the final selection. In the depths of this mountain, there are man-eating demons.

And they will go in and fight the evil spirits in a while.

All of them add up to a total of about 20 people, but it is unknown how many people will come out of it.

If you are lucky, there may be ten or so, under normal circumstances there may be four or five, and in the worst case, it may even be wiped out.

No wonder the faces of this group of people are not very good-looking. When I think that I have just lived for more than ten years, and I am about to enter the most exciting period of my life, how can it be possible to die in such an unknown place.

Liu Xia’s gaze swept across the dozen or so people.

Although he didn’t have the shrewd eyesight to distinguish others’ strengths at a glance, but with his insight, observing the other’s face, standing, etc., at least he could tell whether the other party had confidence in his own strength.

However, among the dozen or so people, almost everyone’s face and posture were a little stiff, and everyone seemed to have little confidence.

When thinking about it like this, Liu Xia’s eyes passed over a young girl, but her eyes narrowed slightly.

It was a man with long black hair tied into a unilateral ponytail, with a little pink at the tip, with emerald green butterfly hairpins, wearing a long skirt of cherry blossoms, and the whole person was as slim as a lotus flower on a lotus leaf. girl.

Just standing there, she inexplicably attracted many butterflies of different colors around her. There was no tension or anxiety on her face, only a kind of concentration like no distractions, with a smile that was neither happy nor sad. Know what’s on your mind.

Liu Xia felt that this girl might be the only exception among these people.

She didn’t show much confidence, but she didn’t have any fear, and that alone was much stronger than the other teenagers with stiff faces.

“Excuse me, may I put this box here?”

After a cursory glance at the group of teenagers here, Liu Xia didn’t care anymore, pulled the suitcase, came to the two children standing by the case, and asked the two of them.

“It’s okay.”

Among the two, a child with black shoulder-length hair took the initiative to speak, and his dark, unfocused pupils silently circled around him.

It seems that he is the first of the two.

“Okay, I’ll get it after the selection.”

Liu Xia nodded, turned away from the case, and returned to Shanyi’s side.

His speech attracted the attention of several teenagers on the side, and they all cast their eyes on him. After seeing that he was no more than eleven or twelve years old, younger than everyone present and his appearance, they all showed a surprised look. .

‘I’ll pick it up when it’s over’

Such words may just be a casual exhortation to Liu Xia, but to these young people who don’t even know if they can save their own lives, they are full of confidence.

However, even so, these people have no idea of ​​coming up to meet.

Now that they are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they care about the appearance and tone of others.

After the sun gradually rose from the horizon, two or three more people came one after another, each of them was the same as these people, their faces were a little heavy and ugly, and no one had the mind to chat with others.

Lucia is a little strange.

Since you are worried that you will not be able to pass the final selection, why don’t you take the initiative to communicate with others, get to know each other, and gather together for warmth?

That way, at least death can have a companion.

Soon after, around the middle of the sky, the last person came to the mountainside and appeared in the field of vision of Liu Xia and the others.

It was a young man with dark red hair and eyes, a scar on his left forehead, sun wheel earrings on both ears, and a water-blue jacket with a white cloud bottom.

Because I had just run up from the foot of the mountain, I was still breathing a little.

He was about the same age as Shan Yi, probably around fifteen or sixteen years old. At first glance, there was nothing special about him.

Liu Xia glanced at him and looked away.

“Welcome everyone to participate in the final selection of the Ghost Killing Team.”

It seemed that the time had come, and the two children standing in front of the case began to narrate like a relay.

“On this vine-ridden mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, the wisteria flowers that evil spirits hate the most are growing all year round,” the black-haired child said.

“The wisteria flowers form a natural barrier, and all the evil spirits are locked up on this mountain, and there is no way to go down the mountain to do evil.” The white-haired child continued.

“Everyone’s task is to survive on this Vine Mountain for seven days, no matter what method you use, after seven days, as long as you can come out alive, even if you pass the final selection, you can become the official member of the Ghost Killing Team, and get a special ore forged. , and the uniforms of the team members.”

The black-haired child continued: “Then, next, please enter the Fujisaki Mountain from the back of the shrine.”

“The final selection begins here.”

A girl in a pink dress with black hair and a ponytail.

A boy in a plaid jacket with a scar on his forehead.

There were also about 20 other young men and women in total, with their own ups and downs, they crossed the long case, and no one said a word, and walked silently into this mountain of death.

“Let’s go in too.”

With the piano case on her back, Liu Xia said to Shan Yi who was shivering behind her, and followed the crowd.

Since he has promised Shanyi to protect him, he will fulfill his obligations to a certain extent. As long as there is no unexpected situation, he will not break his promise.

Shan Yi hurriedly followed, following him tightly, not daring to leave even one step. If Liu Xia was not wearing a black tight-fitting jacket brought from Hyundai, he might have come up and grabbed the corner of his shirt. maybe.

The two were at the back of everyone and walked into the forest where the wisteria flowers were blooming.

“The first thing is to find a way to kill 10 evil ghosts and complete the first spiritual foundation promotion task. During the period, you can also ‘pick up’ a few sun knives.”

Liu Xia thought silently about how to maximize her own interests in this final selection.

“There are seven days in total. In addition to killing ghosts, those candidate swordsmen are also my goals. I try to squeeze out breathing techniques and sword skills from them…”

There are about 20 candidate swordsmen in total, that is to say, there are about 20 Japanese swords in total, and he can ‘pick up’ two at will.

Regardless of whether there is a sun blade that fits the breath of thunder, in short, get it first.

As for their lives?

Nothing to do with him.
