After more than ten minutes, a large pit with a depth of more than ten meters was dug, and soon, a section of emerald green tree roots appeared in front of them.

The vitality that was sensed just now was released from here.

If it weren't for the immortal energy, it wouldn't be noticeable at all.

With a flick of his wrist, Jin Yuan's true energy transformed into a dagger and cut off the tree root.

The whole tree has been dead for more than a hundred years, but there is a tender green root growing out of the soil more than ten meters deep, which is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

Hold it with your right hand, and the eternal energy flows into it again.

A black line immediately swam over, greedily devouring the true energy, as obediently as a little chicken.

"Golden green color? What kind of longevity pattern is this?"

Xu Hong frowned.

The longevity pattern in front of me is neither gray nor black, but golden blue.

According to the information he knew, there are four types of wood longevity patterns, namely: wide, rare, ancient, and holy.

Corresponds to black, gray, cyan, and light cyan.

Golden cyan, what the hell?

Gold is already the color of the animal longevity pattern.

Is it possible that this wood longevity pattern can transform into an animal longevity pattern?

Cordyceps? Green Cordyceps?

I was confused in my heart. Although I didn't know what was going on with this thing, I also understood that this longevity pattern must exceed the level of rare wood or even ancient wood. It is very likely to reach the level of holy wood.

At the holy wood level, even if it is just the wood longevity pattern, the effect will probably not be weaker than the ancient beast longevity pattern that Senior Brother Yang has been thinking about for a long time!

The animal longevity pattern is more advanced than the wood longevity pattern and has more effects, but when it reaches the sacred level, the difference is not too big. Just like chicken and mutton, they are more nutritious than ordinary vegetables, but compared with ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, they are inferior.

A lot.

I have seen people who were seriously ill and died by eating ginseng, but I have never seen people who drank mutton soup...

“We’ll study it later!”

Putting the tree roots into the storage ring, Xu Hong backfilled the tree hole he had dug before continuing to move forward.

The further you go in, the worse the environment gets. In addition to heavy rains, there are also thunder and lightning strikes from time to time. Many trees have been struck to death by lightning.

"There is probably an iron mine down there..." Xu Hong guessed secretly.

Rain and the like can be produced through formations, but lightning is very difficult. Unless... there is iron ore below, and the layout of the trees is based on it, otherwise it will not be possible to hit the trees end-to-end every time!

With random thoughts in his mind, Xu Hong removed all the large wood longevity patterns. Only then did Xu Hong realize that the sun had risen in the east and the night had passed.

Knowing that the assessment time was about to end, Xu Hong stretched out, took out a plant of Tianxing Purple Ginseng, and took a few bites in succession.

Seeing that the life span consumed by staying up late was quickly restored, he breathed a sigh of relief and trotted all the way towards the exit.

…

Outside the misty forest.

Vice President Han Qing and many elders stood outside and waited all night. They did not wait for the two teachers Zhao Meng and Xu Zhong to come back, but they did wait for more returning students.

Looking at the large group of people in front of him, Vice President Han Qing's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, "This is...how many people have been eliminated?"

Elder Hong Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Reporting to Dean Han, the number of people has exceeded 9,800..."

"9800?"

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Han Qing asked: "About how many people were directly eliminated during Dean Xia's assessment?"

The elder who had checked the information before recalled it and replied: "A total of 617 people!"

"9800,617, the gap seems a bit big..."

Han Qing's face was full of depression.

Why is it that when other people use this method, nothing happens and they easily select outstanding students, but when he uses it, it is so nonsense?

Those with high talents and those with poor talents were all swept out... Does the assessment have any meaning?

I sighed in my heart and suddenly remembered something, "Where are Zhao Meng and Xu Zhong? Why haven't they come out yet?"

Elder Hong Yuan thought for a while and said, "I guess we haven't found the student who threw rocks!"

"It's so unreliable! Even if you don't find it, you still have to come out and report it first..."

Shaking his head, Han Qing looked at the many students and asked again.

"We were taken away by Helian Tiexiong's Eagle Alliance!"

"So are we!"

"I'm different. I was taken away by Prince Cheng Hao's Haoran Alliance!"

"The one who robbed me was a young man who looked a bit naive."

…

I got the answer quickly.

Those who took action were roughly divided into three waves, the Eagle Alliance, the Haoran Alliance, and an unknown boy.

"What are these two guys going to do? It's just an entrance exam. If you can pass it, how about robbing everyone?"

Rubbing the center of his eyebrows, Han Qing felt a headache and couldn't help but hum: "Go back and tell Cheng Yuan and Helian Xiaoyun about this matter and ask them to discipline them..."

"Yes!" Elder Hong Yuan nodded.

Cheng Yuan was the emperor of the Li Yuan Dynasty, and Helian Xiaoyun was the emperor of the Dayong Dynasty.

Although Han Qing was only the vice president of Hongwu Academy, his cultivation had reached the peak of the fifth level of longevity. He scolded the two emperors, but the other emperors did not dare to say anything, let alone just inform him.

Just as the conversation between the two ended, they immediately saw many students in front of them. They fell silent again and all looked towards the exit of the forest.

He looked over as well.

I saw Cheng Hao and four or five young men walking out in disgrace, without a single jade card in their hands. It was obvious that they had also been eliminated...

This is considered to be the strongest alliance among the entire freshmen. Almost everyone has reached the Chenggang realm, and yet they were also robbed of their jade medals...

"What's going on?" Han Qing trembled slightly.

It's over, this is not an assessment of freshmen, but a performance of "annihilation"!

"It's Helian Tiexiong. He ambushed us at the exit and took away all our jade tokens..."

Cheng Hao gritted his teeth.

"This guy must be taught a lesson when he comes out..."

He was so angry that he was about to explode. Han Qing snorted coldly. Just as he was thinking about how to make things better today, he saw the people in front of him fell silent again.

He quickly looked around and saw Helian Tiexiong and others walking out with the same frustrated faces, all with bruises and swollen faces...

Obviously, this Eagle Alliance did not have the last laugh either.

Not only Vice President Han Qing, but everyone was confused.

The three strongest groups of freshmen were all eliminated. Who had the last laugh?

…

Time goes back a few minutes.

Xu Hong met Xu Ying when he was about to walk out of the forest. At this time, his cousin handed over a lot of jade tokens with a smile on his face.

"Brother Hong, I have collected more than three thousand, which should be enough for you to get first place..."

"Why did you do so many?" Xu Hong was stunned.

He and Xu Ying started robbing each other from the time they entered the misty forest until they separated. The total amount was only about 1,500 pieces. After this guy left alone, he got another three thousand pieces?

"I'm lucky, I encountered a few big waves..." Xu Ying scratched his head.

This kind of squid game is like a snowball. It becomes easier to collect the further you go. Some people already hold more than ten or twenty squids. As long as you defeat him, his achievements will immediately become yours...

Therefore, after leaving his cousin, although it did not take him long, he collected more.

"Brother Hong, how many have you done?"

After knocking the jade tokens into a sack, Xu Ying looked at it with curiosity.

"Me?" Xu Hong pondered.

He hasn't calculated it carefully, but it should be more.

The seven women who were knocked unconscious got more than 700, and the two masters got more than 2,300... plus their own 1,500, there should be about 4,500!

"perhaps……"

Just as he was about to tell the number, he heard the sound of leaves being crushed in front of him, and then seven figures stood in front of him.

It was the Eagle Alliance that recruited them before!
