Chapter 177 Chapter 177: Desert Sand Like Snow

The two escaped from the sandy mountains surrounding the Crescent Spring, looked back carefully, and found that A Li was not chasing them, they looked at each other and laughed. Xiaocai's eyes glowed and said: "Let's run far away now, and then hide in one place for three hours. After three hours, he won't be able to trouble you!" Ah Li didn't chase you now, but it doesn't mean he won't chase you in the future. Thinking of them being chased by a powerful and almost terrifying NPC, he couldn't help being nervous and excited. Sinan couldn't help but get a little bit of his emotions, and said a little excitedly: "What should we do now?" He knew very well that after A Li caught up with him, he might slap him to death, but under such huge pressure, he I actually felt a little bit of anticipation, just like watching a horror movie when I was a child. I knew that I would see a terrible scene next, but I still couldn't help but watch it.

Xiaocai rolled her eyes and said, "Shazhou City can't go back, that guy might go there ahead of time and wait for us to fall into the trap." Si Nan nodded and said, "How about we go back to hide near the Crescent Lake?" The most dangerous place is the safest place, as it is said in the books. Xiaocai immediately dismissed the opinion: "No, what if that guy thinks the same as you, and wait for us to go back?" He took out the compass to identify the direction, and said decisively: "Can't go back to the city or Crescent Spring, recently The village is at least two hours away, let's go to another place!"

"Where?" "Mogao Grottoes!" Mogao Grottoes, also known as Thousand Buddha Caves, are only more than twenty miles away from where the two are located. There are more than a thousand caves, and it is definitely the best place to hide. "Then let's go!" Sinan was about to step up, but Xiaocai calmly held him back and said, "Don't go right away, that guy might also want to be with us." He smiled slightly, and said: "Let's go offline first, let him wander around before us, come back up in two hours, and go to Mogao Grottoes to hide for three hours."

The two stood still for a moment, their bodies quickly faded and disappeared, and after a while, the shallow footprints on the yellow sand were also covered by the floating sand blown by the wind. Two hours later, Sinan and Xiaocai went online again. Xiaocai entered the game first, looked around carefully, saw no one, and then heaved a sigh of relief and exited the game. Two minutes later, the two appeared in the game at the same time. This is what they discussed in advance. Xiaocai will go online to watch the wind first. If there is no accident, he will go offline and let Sinan enter the game together.

"Success!" The two clapped their hands together, and happily went to Mogao Grottoes according to the original plan. Mogao Grottoes are located on the cliff of Mingsha Mountain, surrounded by the Gobi desert. When approaching Mogao Grottoes, Sinan felt the ancient and desolate atmosphere in the air. "There are so many caves, which one do you think we should go to?" Sinan looked at the murals on the outer wall. The color of these murals was a little pale, probably because of the direct sunlight. Before Xiaocai could answer, a soft voice came from behind the two of them: "I'm afraid none of you can go."

Si Nan's body shook. Xiaocai turned around with a wry smile, and said, "How did you find this place?" He squeezed Sinan's palm hard, and the latter sighed, then turned around and looked directly at A Li. Ah Li didn't speak, just smiled and raised his hand, pointing to the sky. In the clear blue sky, a snow-white Costinus hovered and flew continuously. It turned out that this bird ruined his event! Si Nan was so depressed that he thought to himself that if he had known today, he should have slaughtered this bird and stewed it in soup! Ah Li clapped his hands and said relaxedly: "I have given you the chance to escape. This is a tourist attraction, so it's not suitable to do it. Come with me."

The three of them, one in front and two behind, walked in the desert. "If we had known that he was tracking him with birds, we should have returned to Shazhou early and ran as far as possible through the teleportation array." Xiaocai said regretfully. Unlike players, NPCs cannot use teleportation arrays. To reach a certain place, they can only climb over mountains and mountains. Si Nan smiled slightly, and said: "It's fine if you get caught. If you escape for a while, you won't be able to escape for a lifetime. Maybe the test is not difficult?" At first, he was a little worried, but the matter has come to an end, worrying is useless, it's better to relax right.

Xiaocai let out a long breath and said, "I hope so." The golden sand stretches endlessly, and the sand reveals a sad heat, and even the wind in the air is hot and dry. The three of them walked for about an hour, when Ah Li suddenly stopped and said calmly, "Let's go here." Si Nan took three steps back and asked in the same indifferent tone: "How do you test?" Ah Li said with a smile: "First round, you attack me with one hundred moves, and I won't fight back. Within one hundred moves, as long as you can hurt me, you will be considered qualified." A circle with a radius of one meter was drawn on the ground, "During these one hundred moves, my feet will not go out of this circle. If you do, you are considered qualified. But if someone attacks me in the middle, then I will not go out of the circle." It’s a violation.” He glanced at Xiaocai meaningfully, Xiaocai curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly, “I wanted to make a move, but unfortunately the sword is already broken.”

Ah Li's test seemed to be very challenging. Within a circle with a radius of one meter, there was not much room to dodge, and the Seven Kills sword technique was the best offensive sword technique. On the surface, it seemed that Sinan would win. However, the more A Li imposed restrictions on himself, the more worried Sinan became: these restrictions on A Li were based on his absolute self-confidence. Under the restriction of the situation, how much strength can Ah Li display. Hesitation was useless, Si Nan nodded, and after A Li stood in the circle, he decisively drew his sword. Si Nan stepped into the circle, occupying part of the circle area first, so that Ah Li had less room to dodge.

Ah Li only said that he can't leave the circle, but didn't say whether Sinan can come in, so Sinan's doing so is not considered a violation of the rules. Si Nan swept across with his sword, quickly slashing towards Ah Li's chest, Yun Qianzhong's half-illuminated sword drew a fan. Ah Li smiled lightly, took half a step off his feet, leaned his upper body back slightly, and dodged the sword calmly and gracefully. Avoid it! The corner of Si Nan's mouth curled up, and with a backhand pass, the seven shadows of the sword pierced Ah Li's eyebrows, throat, shoulders, heart, and knees respectively.

Ah Li took another step back and avoided this move again. Xiaocai almost cried out: he already understood Sinan's thoughts, Sinan wanted to force A Li to a small position in the circle first, so that he could not dodge. Ah Li took two steps back, it was like fulfilling Sinan's plan, it went so smoothly, but something seemed wrong. Seeing that Ah Li's heel had touched the inside of the circle, Si Nan stabbed Ah Li between his eyebrows with a sword. Ah Li chuckled, and bent his body like a soft wicker. Sinan remembered that Chu Tianshu used this trick to accidentally hurt him once, but this time the situation was different from the previous one. Firstly, Ah Li could not fight back. Second, this time he did not cut horizontally but downwardly. Unlike a human being, the speed of lowering his waist can be faster than his sword, but only the upper body can be preserved, and the parts below his waist are completely exposed to his sword. When the tip of the long sword touched Ah Li's abdomen, Sinan was overjoyed, but unexpectedly, the tip of the sword did not convey the real feeling of stabbing an object, but an illusion of no effort. And Ah Li's arched body suddenly straightened, his feet were still in the circle, but most of his body tilted beyond the upper limit of the sandy ground, and his long black hair fell in midair. Depend on!The center of gravity is so terribly shifted that it can still remain stable, which doesn't conform to the principles of mechanics at all! Complaining in his heart, Sinan's movements were not ambiguous at all, he raised his leg and stepped on A Li's foot, and stabbed out again with the sword in his hand without hesitation. It has already been said at the beginning that as long as the foot does not stay in the circle, it is not considered a violation, so he can't relax in the slightest now. Ah Li's knees were slightly bent, and his toes lightly kicked off the ground. His whole body seemed to lose weight and hang in mid-air, avoiding Si Nan's kick and also avoiding Si Nan's sword edge by a tiny margin. Sinan stepped on the ground, but he was overjoyed in his heart. In the current state, Ah Li has no leverage in mid-air, so he can no longer avoid his sword! Sinan's wrist was reversed, and Yun Qianzhong slashed downwards! But at this moment, Ah Li raised one leg, hooked the sword with one foot, and turned over lightly like a bird in the air. His body was like a slippery fish, wrapped around Yun Qianzhong for half a circle, and then stood on the tip of the sword as if he had no weight at all. Si Nan sighed, and said: "With your lightness, let alone in this circle, even if the circle is reduced by half, I can't hurt you." He has now understood that Ah Li deliberately followed his lead. The purpose of retreating to the edge of the circle is to let him see clearly what level his qinggong has reached. A hundred tricks are not enough at all. With a frustrated expression on his face, Si Nan put his left hand behind his back. "How? Come on?" Ah Li seemed to be showing off on purpose, standing on the tip of the sword and refusing to get off. Sinan lowered his head and said softly, "I know I can't pass..." His left hand behind his back suddenly flashed out, and what he was holding was thrown out with the technique of broken leaves and flying flowers! It was a biscuit, a biscuit that could cover a human face. The sesame seed flew towards Ah Li's face. The advantage of the hidden weapon technique of Broken Leaf Flying Flowers is that it can not only be used on hidden weapons, as long as you have enough internal strength, you can lose someone. Ah Li was taken aback. good chance! As soon as the biscuit was out of his hand, Sinan quickly took out another sword, held it in his left hand, and stabbed A Li's throat quickly! From the few moves just now, he has already seen that if he wants to hurt this guy, ordinary offensive methods will not work at all, so he can only cheat: he first behaved very frustrated, as if he was completely discouraged, and then threw the sesame seed cakes Go out, this biscuit has two functions, first, to block Ah Li's sight; second, if you are lucky, Ah Li may be slightly taken aback, when he is startled, it is a great opportunity to attack. During this process, Si Nan held Yun Qianzhong's right hand without moving at all, because A Li was standing on his sword, if he forcibly pulled it back, it might make A Li more alert. Xiaocai, who was on the sidelines, understood Sinan's thoughts the moment he made a move, and also thought that this method was very feasible. The sesame seed sticks on Li's face. The tip of the sword approached Ah Li's throat. A Li suddenly raised his head, and opened his mouth to bite the biscuits.Then he tilted his head, letting the long sword brush against his neck. After a miss, Sinan could only return the iron sword he took out later to the storage bracelet. A Li took a bite of the biscuits and commented: "It's a bit hard, but the taste is not bad." Sinan said depressedly: "I didn't let you eat it." Ah Li lightly jumped away from Yun Qianzhong, landed on the ground, and said with a smile: "I know you are using this sesame seed cake to block my sight, but don't forget, although my eyes are covered, my ears are not. Listen I am no worse than anyone else in the ability to distinguish the wind." Si Nan curled his lips and said, "I know now." A Li said: "Your swordsmanship level is only the seventh level. I'm not afraid to tell you that you have to practice at least to the eighth level to have a 10% chance of passing this exam. Just like just now, as long as your sword is faster Some, maybe they can stab me, because I'm distracted." The truth is, when he saw the biscuits, he felt a little hungry.Of course, this cannot be told to Si Nan. While Sinan was thinking, Ah Li seized the time and took another two bites of sesame seed cakes. After swallowing, he felt a little dry, and shamelessly reached out to his test subject: "Is there any water? Give me a drink or two." Sinan stared at him depressedly for a while, then reluctantly took out a water bag from the storage bracelet and handed it to him, and then saw Ah Li eating a mouthful of water and biscuits to his heart's content. Si Nan waited patiently for Ah Li to finish eating, and said, "You eat my pancakes, so just answer me a few questions." A Li wiped his mouth, handed the water bag back to Sinan, and said bluntly, "Say!" Si Nan recounted how he heard someone whispering the word "kill" in his ear at the martial arts competition, and how he broke through the bottleneck inexplicably afterwards. "That is indeed the way to break through the bottleneck." A Li said without hesitation. "Isn't it too simple?" Just because he protested against the nagging voice, even if he broke through the bottleneck? "Yes, that is the heart demon barrier of the Seven Kills Sword Art, and it is also the most difficult level for us NPCs to practice swords, but for you players, it is the easiest level." Because this is a game, no matter the NPC How cool and handsome, its essence is to serve the players after all. If practicing martial arts can cause players to practice problems, it is definitely because game developers don't want to mess around. "You players are so kind." A Li looked at Sinan, unabashedly full of envy, "Seven Kills swordsmanship is domineering and violent, and the internal force operates in a weird and vicious way. Every seventh level of cultivation, there will be a big level. Nian Dazhi, the invasion of foreign demons, you must firmly guard your mind to survive, at the slightest, you will lose your martial arts, and if you are insane, you will lose your mind and even die. I managed to connect the sword to the thirty-fourth floor, but I don’t have the confidence to continue practicing safely.” A Li turned on his own martial arts panel, and opened the page of swordsmanship. Sinan was shocked when he saw the long list of various swordsmanship. Then, under A Li's instructions, he saw the seven On the back of the sword technique, it is marked: 34th floor, other than that, all other martial arts are the highest 49th floor. Si Nan took a closer look, and unexpectedly found that among the long series of swordsmanship, there was no Poxue swordsmanship that Xiaocai had learned.He thought about it, but didn't ask. The question has been answered, and one hundred strokes will continue. Si Nan took half a step back and stood at the center of the circle. Although he has already seen Ah Li's lightness skills, he still doesn't intend to give up just like that. No one can say that he has no chance until the last move. Si Nan held a sword flower, conscious of his posture, and thought to himself that it's no wonder Xiaocai likes to do this movement so much. Ah Li smiled slightly, and said: "It's a pity, I really don't want to abolish your swordsmanship." Si Nan laughed and said, "If you really can't bear to let me be such a talented swordsman with excellent roots, then just let me pass." His words were of course a joke, but Ah Li seemed to be serious, and said regretfully, "It's a pity, your mentality and awareness are pretty good. If you think about it, over time, your achievements will be limitless. It's a pity, you probably won't be able to pass this test." .” For martial arts practitioners, diligence and experience are naturally very important, but in addition to that, on-the-spot response also accounts for a lot of points. If 10 is used as a perfect score, Sinan's diligence is only 4 points, and experience is the same, but For the item of on-the-spot response, almost nine points can be scored. Because of the different enemies, he constantly adjusted his coping strategies. In this regard, what Sinan did almost exceeded A Li's expectations. So when he thought of abolishing Sinan's martial arts later, Ah Li felt a little pity. Si Nan stood in the center of the circle, his swords were flying from left to right, while Ah Li was flying around his sword, like catkins fluttering in the wind, light and ethereal. The more aggressive he was, the more frightened Sinan was about Ah Li's lightness kung fu: Aside from the similarity in lightness and elegance, is what Ah Li practiced really the same lightness kung fu as him? Or, what unexpected changes will happen to his heartbreakingly slow qinggong in the future? Just after Sinan thought of this, Ah Li suddenly stretched out his hand, and gently clamped the tip of Sinan's sword with two fingers: "One hundred moves." Si Nan sighed and withdrew his sword. Even though the first exam ended like this, Ah Li seemed to be thinking about something and didn't make the next move. After a while, Ah Li looked at Si Nan and said, "It's such a pity that your swordsmanship is so abolished. Let's take the second test first. I will slap you. As long as you survive, you will pass the test. If you can use qinggong, I will keep your swordsmanship." Sinan couldn't help but see the scene of Ah Li volleying and killing the player with high fives, and he knew in his heart that victory or defeat depends on one action. With only one palm, his internal strength is relatively deep, so he might be able to withstand it. Si Nan nodded: "Let's start." A Li raised his palm and said, "Listen well, the name of my palm is... the desert sand like snow."
