Chapter 789: The assessment begins
With a bang, a figure fell from the sky, splashing a large cloud of sand.
"I think you're pretty much adjusted, I'm your examiner for this one, you can call me 'Hughes'!"
A rough voice came out of the sand and dust, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Chu Feng was no exception.
Chu Feng was different from the focus of the others, he was curious if this person had flown down from the sky?
Looking up at the sky, Chu Feng didn't see any flying tools, nor did he see any flying birds, which made him think of the man in cloak who could transform at the beginning.
"Could it be that this man can also change form?"
Now there is only one guess that makes sense, this man should be able to change his body form to allow himself to fly in the air, and it is impossible to fly with qi.
"Now that you've pretty much rested, I'm going to announce what this assessment will be. The rough voice sounded again, which suddenly made the on-site assessment people nervous.
No one was making a sound, lest they would miss a word.
"The assessment of this field is very simple, you can capture the corresponding sand beasts within the specified time, and you can get the corresponding points. You have ten pillars of incense time, and before the end, the top 100 people can enter the next assessment!"
When the dust settled, it was already clear that it was a strong man with a very exaggerated stature.
Others may not think anything, but in Chu Feng's opinion, this examiner's figure is too exaggerated, he is close to four meters tall, and when he stands there, he looks like a giant!
"Hey, aren't those people the assessment personnel?"
At this moment, Chu Feng saw a few busy figures, and put up a notice with some words written on it, although he couldn't read it, he could guess that it should be the score corresponding to different sand beasts.
"You came late, I don't know, those people are auxiliary examiners, mainly responsible for assisting the examiner. A young man beside him whispered.
"There are so many people, and only a hundred people can advance, it seems that the competition is quite big. Chu Feng smiled.
"This is already good, which assessment, not to eliminate more than half of the personnel. The young man who had just spoken continued.
Chu Feng was about to ask some questions, but unexpectedly, the chief examiner spoke again.
"In addition, I give you a hint, as long as you bring the sand beast to me, no matter how you get it, whether you buy it or grab it, it can be counted as the corresponding points. The examiner said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, it was like throwing a stone on the calm water, and everyone began to talk about it at once.
"This is really terrible, if the sand beast that was hunted with great difficulty is snatched by others, it will not be in vain!"
"This is not a hint, this is like increasing the difficulty of the assessment in disguise, not only to have the ability to hunt sand beasts, but also to have the strength to protect the prey!"
"It's very difficult to do this time, such a big desert, it is very difficult to find sand beasts in a limited time, even if you find it, you have to face the problem of whether you can hunt, and the most important thing is to beware of other people's robbery!"
“……”
The scene began to be chaotic, and it returned to the state it was in just now.
Chu Feng saw the uneasiness and hesitation on the faces of many people, should he go hunting, or wait for the rest of his life to ambush him?
"Now that the assessment begins, you have questions, you can ask them!" the examiner sat down on the sand, and even then, he was taller than most of the people present.
"Your Excellency Examiner, what if the scores are tied?" someone asked, which was a very likely problem.
"A hundred passers, the final number will only be less than this, not more than this. If more than one person ends up tied for the hundredth place, then all the tied people are eliminated. The examiner said indifferently.
That is to say, if you want not to be eliminated, at a critical moment, even one more point is good!
"Lord Examiner, is there a difference between captured sand beasts, alive and dead?" someone asked again.
"A living sand beast will add extra points, and if it is a crippled sand beast, it will also lose some points, so don't think about splitting a sand beast in half. The examiner's eyes swept across the room.
Some people's expressions flashed with a hint of loss, just now there were indeed some people who wanted to play smart, and now their plans have come to naught.
"Lord Examiner, I also want to ask a question, what if you catch a sand beast other than the announcement?"
"I'm the main judge for the points, and I can count as much as I say!" the examiner grinned.
The uneasiness at the scene has not yet dissipated, some people are still staying to watch, and some people have gone to look for the sand beast.
"Friend, let's continue the topic just now and discuss how to cooperate!" Yan Lie, the young man who had called Chu Feng over earlier, suddenly spoke.
His voice pulled Chu Feng out of his thoughts.
Yan Lie continued: "The assessment content of this field is very severe, only by cooperating can we have the opportunity to hunt sand beasts with high points, and we can prevent being robbed by others!"
"The problem is, the points of the captured sand beast can only be counted on one person's head, what should I do with this?" another young man asked.
"We can agree like this, take turns to capture, the first capture of the sand beast belongs to whom, the second capture of the sand beast belongs to whom......
"This is not good, of course it is suitable for the person who gets the points in the front, in a limited time, it is lucky to be able to catch one or two, how to round?"
"Otherwise, we will bid on the captured sand beasts according to the price, and the highest bidder can exchange the sand beasts for points, while the others can share the money, and no one will suffer. ”
"Well, if I can make some money, even if this assessment is eliminated, I will admit it. ”
"I agree with the idea!"
"I'm okay with that!"
Everyone expressed their position, and now Chu Feng was left alone, and everyone turned their eyes over.
"What do you mean, friend?" asked Yan Lie.
Chu Feng smiled a little embarrassedly, he couldn't let the misunderstanding continue, so he hurriedly said: "I'm not an assessment person, I'm just a passerby!"
"What?"
"I was curious about the assessment of the 'Food Palace', so I came to take a look, which is why I just asked you about the previous assessments. Chu Feng explained.
"You...... You're not here to take the assessment?" Yan Lie stared at Chu Feng in surprise.
Chu Feng nodded.
"You are too bold, you dare to sneak in the assessment of the 'Food Palace', do you know the consequences?" Yan Lie dragged Chu Feng and asked in a low voice.
Chu Feng shook his head and asked curiously, "What consequences?"
"I'll feed you to the beasts!" said another young man, leaning over and saying in a sinister tone.
Yan Lie hurriedly said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, the 'Food Palace' will not kill people at will, they will only arrest you, and you don't know where to do it." In short, you are in a bad situation right now, but fortunately, neither the chief examiner nor the deputy chief examiner are paying attention to you!"
Chu Feng looked back at the examiner, thinking in his heart, what could he do if he noticed!
He could not provoke the examiner, but if the examiner came to him for trouble, he would consider arresting the other party and studying it properly.
"Friend, a word of advice, it's better to get out of here quickly, and pretend that nothing happened. Although the 'Food Palace' doesn't kill people at will, there are a lot of rules, and I don't think you want to get into trouble. Yan Lie suggested in a low voice.
"It's okay, let's talk about the cooperation just now!" Chu Feng took the initiative to divert the topic, "Although I am not a candidate, I can also help you capture the sand beast, you only need to pay the corresponding payment, how about it?"
Yan Lie hesitated, and the others did not express their position.
"Believe me, I'm still quite strong!" Chu Feng boasted for the first time.
There is no way, he needs to make money now, it won't be long before he gets out of this desert, and he will need money everywhere.
"Well, since the examiner said that the purchase also counts, then we should have no problem asking you to help, what do you think?" Yan Yeol looked at the others.
Anyone else can do anything, they don't have much hope for this assessment, if they can make some extra money and go back, it can be regarded as a gain!
Among several people, Yan Lie has the most right to speak, his family is rich, and he is the younger generation in the family who is focused on cultivating, he speaks hard, and there are two properties of their family in "Kuozhan Sand City", so in this cooperation, he became the team leader.
"This is a survey map I got from the predator three days ago, we are in this position now, according to the map, there are no sand beasts around, if we want to find the sand beasts, here and here, we can consider it!" Yan Lie led everyone to a secluded sand pile and began the first discussion.
This exploration map of his, don't look scribbled and blurry, it was also bought by him at a high price, and it is a summary of the experience of other predators after exploration, and it has a high reference value.
"Before we left, a lot of people went to this place, and if we go again, I'm afraid it will inevitably be friction!" said a young man with a frown.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to say, we should go in that direction. The possibility of being able to meet the sand beasts is very high, and if we are lucky, we may be able to meet the two waves of sand beasts in the fight, and then we will be able to pick up a big bargain. Yan Lie said with a smile.
Although this sentence is a joke, it eases the atmosphere a lot.
"Friend, do you have any opinions?" Yan Lie looked at Chu Feng, who had not spoken for a long time.
"The direction you're talking about, well, is actually where I just walked. It's not that I discourage you, when I came, I happened to see the sand beasts migrating, calculate the time, if this time passes, I'm afraid I won't encounter any of them. Chu Feng said indifferently.
"Sand Beast Migration?" Yan Lie was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and asked with a shocked face, "Friend, what did you just say, you came from that direction?"
Chu Feng looked at him with a strange expression, thinking that he had asked the wrong point, shouldn't he care about the sand beast at this time?
"If you believe me, I can show you the way, and I am sure that you can encounter a lot of sand beasts, but there is no guarantee that they are the ones you want to capture!" Chu Feng said.
He didn't know which sand beasts could be exchanged for points, not only did he not know the words on the announcement, but he also didn't know the name of the sand beasts here, and the only "Tibetan Demon Spider" he knew was from the Predator team.
Yan Lie was hesitating at the moment, and so were the others.
"Okay, since that's the case, then you can lead the way!" After some ideological struggle, Yan Lie decided to believe Chu Feng.
After all, it's better to trust a companion than to trust a probe map.
"Then let's not waste time, come with me!"
Chu Feng began to lead the way in front, he was now somewhat familiar with this desert, even without using the premise of "red exploration", he could analyze from the terrain and landform, where there would be a large number of sand beasts.
Rustle!
Chu Feng led the way in front, with a brisk pace, in his opinion, this kind of walk-like speed, in the eyes of the few people who followed behind, he could only try his best to follow.
One foot deep, one foot shallow, it is easy to consume physical strength, coupled with the scorching temperature, it is simply a double test of body and perseverance!
"Do you want to take a break, if you walk more than a thousand meters, you will encounter a sand beast!" Chu Feng stopped and asked.
"Sand Beast, where is the Sand Beast?" Hearing Chu Feng say this, these people were in good spirits.
"More than a thousand meters?Friend, how do you know that if you walk more than a thousand meters, you can meet it?" Yan Lie asked with a strange expression.
"Can't you hear the cry of the 'Sand Beast'?" Chu Feng made a careful listening motion.
The others unconsciously held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen, but heard nothing but the sound of wind and sand.
"Let's go, hold on a little longer, there are still more than a thousand meters, this distance is nothing, we have to hurry!" Yan Lie said in a loud voice.
Normally, they should have a good rest when they are about to face the sand beasts, but in the assessment, they are racing against time and competing with others.
They can rest, but time doesn't stop, and others don't wait for them.
A few people continued to move forward, Chu Feng deliberately slowed down this time, and would ask some things that he was more interested in from time to time.
I have climbed over a sand dune, and I have walked more than a thousand meters at this moment, but I have not seen the shadow of half of the sand beast.
However, no one doubted what Chu Feng said.
Because, everyone hears the hissing sound from far and near.
Everyone stopped, Yan Lie and several people were ready for battle, only Chu Feng continued to ask some questions before he had a heart.
The others didn't bother to answer him, as the sand beast finally appeared in their field of vision.
"Yes...... It's ...... 'Rattletail Viper'!"
"Friend, you hurt us this time!"
"Retreat!"
