Gu sister's after leaving the extra flags immediately start climbing toward the tower there final destination.
But of course, it's was harder then they thought, apparently there's another suprise for the kids taking the test.
The mud pits.
The rough and slippery road was not enough for the sect that they add pits covered by dirt and leafs, perfectly hidden until one step on it and fall inside.
Well that exactly what happened to Gu tin who's right now seating inside the pit sulking, while other try to figure out how to take her out from the pit.
The pit is actually not very deep but the problem is that the pit completely muddy, if one try to climb out from the pit.
They will end up slipping back inside the pit with small injuries if they don't fall on there head. So, now everyone are trying to find a thick and strong vein, to pul her out with.
Gu ya "found it" everyone excitedly gather around her to check the vein once, Gu Xiao declare that they will use this one.
Everyone, immediately sprint into action, first one end of the large vein was tightly tied to a tree for security.
Then they throw the vein inside for Gu tin to tie it around the waist, then all four of them start pulling the vein.
It was hard for little kids like them to pull someone out of the pit. luckily Gu tin, is not that heavy for them not to be able to pull her out and the pit wasn't that deep.
When Gu tin manage to climb out of the pit everyone stumble down on the ground, breathing heavily and injured hands.
The friction created from the continuous pulling cause their hand to bleed, only Gu ya thought of wrapping her hand with piece of cloth, other grab the vein barehanded.
While, they were resting and catching their breath someone catch up with them, it was the boy that made Gu ya cry previously.
The girls immediately get up warily, seeing that he's alone they didn't relax little bit, but they don't dare to let their guards down.
The poor boy only want to be apologize but was treated like thief by them, when in reality it was Gu ya who had tried to steal his flag.
The poor boy felt wrong and continue following them stubbornly, the girls tried to shake him off.
But since everyone are going in same direction and location they can't just shake him off.
So, that's how they end up with the little tail following them from behind, they continue climbing the mountains whole day.
At night they found relatively dry and open space and curled up together in hurdle confusing the boy, who had just start gathering firewood.
Meanwhile, inside the room where bunch of elders where seating, judging, looking, appreciating everyone action.
Gu sister's action of not Liting up fire make them raise there brow.
"These girls are smart, knowing that they all are in atmosphere where everyone are trying to rob each other. Liting fire in such situation is giving away your location to others, if they are smart enough to think about that"
"Well it seem like that some kids are really born to look deep into things, look at the Bai siblings climbed on tree checking and marking the location of fire smoke"
"This batch is quite good, they are smart, clever, know how to survive and some are just out lucky" pointing at the little tail behind the Gu sister's.
"Leave that poor boy alone he's just a kids, he will eventually learn about human heart. Right now let him do what he think is right, if he survive its his luck, if not that also his luck"
"Well, he had to or else he will die once he's not under the protection of the sect"
"You are talking like he's definitely going to pass the test"
"They are almost there of course, it's a done deal" but it seem like the elder spoke to early.
Some of kids are smart enough to run ahead and wait at the highest point to ambush others, giving them great advantage.
It's a group of seven kids who are seating and eating for an opportunity for someone to came here so they can attack them in group.
Gu yin told everyone to wait for few minutes before continuing ahead, but the little tail didn't like the idea since they are almost at there destination.
So impatiently he went ahead infront of them Gu yin said nothing to him but gesture to others.
Gu yin "watch why I asked you to wait" Gu sister's who were still confuse by the sudden stop by her but she told them to see it themselves.
They quitely follow the boy from good distance, the boy who had no idea about the danger up ahead was taken by surprise when bunch of kids jump on him.
He's seven year old and us a hunter son had been learning hunting from his father at very young age and can hunt prey on his own.
He's had been naturally physically strong since birth, but he's was naturally at great disadvantages when jumped on by seven boys.
When the girls saw it they winch when a fist land on his stomach, while being glad they were impulsive enough to walk first.
They slowly walk around the place completely ignoring the boy, who had been following them around since yesterday.
Maybe, cause Gu ya was feeling guilty about trying to steal his flag or his attempt to apologize to her for making her cry.
She couldn't stop herself from turning around and shouting "Oh My God! Someone is going to kill that boy"
Her words immediately made the brats stop hiring and start panicking, the boy was also smart enough to play along completely stop moving, playing dead perfectly.
Those boys who had jumped on him panick completely not knowing what to do, one mind was still working enough to check his breath.
But since the boy already had hold his breath the boy stumble back with pale face he point at him.
"H-he's not breathing"
"...."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh...
