Chapter 145 Bow Candle
Until finally, the three chains became the size of bracelets and were held in the hands of the leading senior sister.
At this time, those who have not had time to cross the river or those who have fallen into the river will have their tokens shattered instantly and will be eliminated.
More than two hundred freshmen were eliminated at this stage.
There are still more than 1,200 freshmen left.
At this time, several senior brothers and sisters led the rest of the freshmen towards the third gate, which took them a long time to arrive.
"We have arrived at the third gate."
The gate of the third level is two very heavy stone doors. After pushing open the stone doors, what comes into view is the third river, which is about 5,000 meters wide.
The river water is clear and green. From a distance, it seems calm and peaceful. The sun shines on the river, making the water sparkle, giving a feeling of peaceful time.
But on the river bank, there was a row of black things.
When the senior brothers and sisters led everyone to the river, Ruan Xihe could see clearly that the black things placed on the river bank were many small boats.
This time, the seniors did not go to the other side of the river to wait for the new students like they did at the previous two doors, but stopped and announced the rules on the spot.
"This test will last for fifteen days. You must drive your boat to the other side of the river within fifteen days to be considered successful."
"Then, do you see the groove at the stern of the boat? Insert your quota token into it, and this boat will be yours."
"While the boat is moving, there will be random accidents or natural disasters in the river, such as thunder, rain, wind, etc. Your task is to steer the boat to the other side."
“By then, there will be a ranking list on the other side, and we will rank the new students according to the time it takes to cross the third river.”
The freshman's eyes turned to the small boat moored to the shore.
They saw that in addition to the groove at the stern, there were two oars on both sides of the boat, and a candle at the bow, but the candle had not been lit yet.
"Seniors, can you tell me what these candles are used for?" a freshman asked.
A senior student looked at the freshman who asked the question with admiration.
"That's a good question. Let Senior Sister Liu tell you about the function of candles!"
Senior Sister Liu is the leading senior sister, and her full name is Liu Ruyu.
Senior Sister Liu Ruyu did not rush to answer this question, but walked to the river bank and waved her hand.
In an instant, the third river in front of me seemed to have changed its scenery!
The river water turned from clear green to black, the river surface went from calm to turbulent, and even the weather conditions above the river changed from cloudy with sunshine to dark clouds with lightning and thunder!
"Ruan Ruan, which of these two scenes is the original appearance of the third river?" Mo Yuan was a little curious.
Ruan Xihe took a look at the river and quickly came to a conclusion, "Neither of them."
"I think so too..." Mo Yuan paused and continued, "Then what do you think is the assessment for this level?"
"I always feel that even if the weather is bad, the test level cannot be as simple as driving a small boat to the other side."
Ruan Xihe patted his shoulder with some relief, "Did you see the candle on the bow? You will know what the assessment is soon."
"Ruan Ruan, you are right, I think so too..."
Mo Yuan nodded thoughtfully and shifted his gaze to the turbulent river surface.
The freshmen on the other side were also stunned by this scene.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the river before them was the third river.
This is simply... two scenes!
"The environment is so bad, how are we supposed to get to the other side?"
"When I saw the scene before the river just now, I thought the college assessment had become easier. I didn't expect that I was naive."
"This boat looks so broken and small. Can it last more than a hundred meters without falling apart? If we lose the boat, how can we cross the river?"
"That's right. It's thundering and windy. If we fall into the river, won't we be eliminated?"
"..."
Hearing these questions, Liu Ruyu chuckled.
The other senior brothers and sisters also looked at each other, and then smiled mysteriously in sync.
It turns out that these new students are so immature.
Do they really think that the college assessment is so simple?
The seniors all understood each other tacitly and kept silent, leaving everything unsaid!
Liu Ruyu walked up to the freshmen and spoke.
"When you insert the token into the groove at the stern, the ship will be taken, and at the same time, the candle on the bow will light up."
As soon as she finished speaking, a token appeared in Senior Sister Liu Ruyu's hand.
She threw the token out and gave the freshmen a teaching example. The token was firmly embedded in the groove of a ship. Almost instantly, the candle on the bow lit up.
Liu Ruyu continued, "See this candle? It will take fifteen days for it to burn out normally, which is exactly the time limit for the competition."
"When you are sailing on the river, you must ensure that the candles on the bow do not fall or go out. If the candles accidentally fall, they will burn faster. If the candles are attacked, they will also burn faster. But if you leave your boat, the candles will go out directly."
"If the candle on the bow goes out during the journey, the boat will return to the starting point and move forward again. If the candle goes out three times and returns to the starting point three times, the challenge will fail.
If the boat does not reach the other side before the candle burns out, the challenge will also be considered a failure. "
As soon as Liu Ruyu finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.
Cao Li also winked at Cao Cao, "Brother, let's work together to put out her candle."
Cao Cao nodded and agreed to Cao Li's proposal.
The two of them secretly moved closer to Ruan Xihe, preparing to sail a similar boat with her later.
But all this fell into the eyes of Ruan Xihe and the other two.
"Are these two people crazy? Why do they keep pestering you? Ruan Ruan, you wouldn't have done anything like digging up someone's ancestral grave, right?" Mo Yuan guessed as he looked at the two people who were approaching stealthily.
Ruan Xihe gave her a mechanical smile, and the next second -
She suddenly punched Mo Yuan in the chest, and Mo Yuan was knocked back several steps by her brute force.
“Ah—cough—”
Mo Yuan retreated while screaming and coughing, his pale cheeks turning red due to the continuous coughing.
"Ruan Ruan, I was wrong, really..."
At this time, Shen Yan also said coldly: "They really have bad intentions, you should be careful."
"I know."
Ruan Xihe retracted her fist and glanced at the two people who had approached her to only five meters away. She took out two small pills and weighed them in her hand.
"But what I'm waiting for is for them to take the initiative."
Shen Yan looked at the small pill in her hand and felt a chill on his back.
He had a hunch that it was not a good thing.
Shen Yan suddenly felt a little regretful now. Was it a bit hasty to agree to be Ruan Xihe's bodyguard for three months?
