Chapter 61: The Contest Begins
"This year, we have a total of 447 mercenaries participating in the competition, which is a lot more than before!"
"This shows that all the sons and daughters of our Zhangyang City are good, and at the same time, our mercenary union also welcomes more heroes to join us!"
"The mercenary competition is an opportunity to consider the strength of our mercenaries, only stronger strength can serve our employers, in order to complete the task better, so our competition is mainly divided into two stages, the first is the survival test, and the second stage is the ring competition. ”
"In the first stage of the survival test, all the players will be sent to Yunwu Mountain by us, and then the ranking will be determined according to the time when each player comes back to use, and the top 50 players must pass the first stage of the survival test to participate in the second stage of the ring competition!"
Hearing Li Moyang's words, there was an uproar below, this guy is really a ruthless person, you must know that Yunwu Mountain is not a good place to go, the scene is shrouded in fog, and if you are not careful, you will get lost, it is said that someone has been trapped in it for several years before coming out.
Because this side is humid all year round, there are not only monsters and beasts, but also countless poisonous insects and poisonous snakes.
"Of course, our rewards this time are also very rich, the top six in the survival competition will be awarded the qualification of B-grade inferior mercenaries, and at the same time, the first place can get a four-grade martial art, the second place can get a five-grade martial art, the third place can get a six-grade martial art, the fourth place will get a seven-grade martial art, the fifth place will get an eight-rank martial art, and the sixth place will get a nine-grade martial art. Except for the first to sixth place in the ring competition, except for the qualification of a second-class inferior mercenary, the other rewards are the same as those in the first stage!"
This time, Li Moyang's words stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the players who were about to quit before stayed one by one as if they were fixed.
Because whether it is the qualification of a second-class inferior mercenary, or the martial arts are too precious for these mercenaries who lick blood from the knife all year round, a regiment of the frost wolf mercenary group before was also a claw martial art, and the rarity of martial arts can be imagined.
And the reason why the ring competition does not have the qualification of a second-class inferior mercenary is because the ring competition is not a mandatory item for the mercenary competition in the first place, but mainly a channel for the mercenary union to show its strength to the major families in the city, so it is such a thing that came out.
"Next, please invite the contestants to go to the field and take the Wind Beast to Cloud Mountain!"
Chen Donglai and more than 400 other mercenaries all walked to the assessment square, and four huge winged demon beasts appeared around the square, seeing this huge flying demon beast, not only Chen Donglai and ordinary people were shocked, but even the four major families around were hot when they saw it.
This thing is unique to the mercenary union, and these heads should not all belong to Zhangyang City, because generally speaking, the mercenary union of this level in Zhangyang City can only afford to raise one at most.
At this time, the black cat that had been staying in Chen Donglai's chest also poked out its head, and glanced at the four flying demon beasts outside with disdain.
Chen Donglai and others according to the mercenary union grouping, respectively sat on the back of the wind beast, after all the people were full, the wind beast spread out his huge wings, blowing a gust of wind to the south, according to Chen Donglai's visual inspection, this wind can reach at least 800 miles per hour, it only took a quarter of an hour, a white mist mountain appeared in front of Chen Donglai and others, only the top of the mountain has a radius of ten kilometers that is not covered by clouds and mist, suddenly appeared in the middle of the clouds, the wind beast settled here, the leading deacon sent a map of the cloud mountain to each participant, and left directly without saying anything。
Chen Donglai only knew the complexity of the assessment when he landed on the ground, although from the air, his position was not covered by clouds and mist, but when he got to the ground, he was still surrounded by white mist, and the only thing that could make people distinguish the direction was the sun in the sky.
Of course, out of this area, it is difficult to see the sun in the sky for a day, so you can only walk by feeling.
"I knew that I should have made a compass before I came!" Chen Dong looked at the situation in front of him and was speechless for a while.
On the ground, many mercenaries took out the map and studied it carefully, and there were two roads out of the mountain drawn on the map, marked with green and red respectively, the green one is relatively safe, but it is almost nearly 600 kilometers away from Zhangyang City, and the other red line, but there are many dangers on this road, and it is very likely that there is a danger to life, but it is only more than 200 kilometers away from Zhangyang City, which is basically a straight road.
In fact, for Chen Donglai's situation, no matter which road he takes, he has a certain advantage, and taking the green route, his "Wind Walk" has a certain advantage in speed, which is a good choice.
As for the red line, after decades of mercenary career, Chen Dong feels that his ability to survive in the wild is not bad.
After some thought, Chen Donglai felt that the rich and noble were in danger, although the green one was safe, but the distance was a big problem after all, it was three times farther than the red route, and it was not absolutely without danger.
Since there is a certain amount of danger, then just choose the red line, I believe that it is impossible for the mercenary union to arrange a road that is not dangerous at all to assess, otherwise what is the point of this assessment?
Now that the direction has been decided, Chen Donglai is ready to follow the prompts of the sign and set off from the red route!
At this time, many mercenaries set off one after another, most of them chose the green route, and only more than 100 chose the red route after visually inspecting more than 400 people.
Have entered the intersection, the surrounding environment has changed greatly, the visual distance is less than 20 meters, in the fog like a primeval forest, huge towering ancient trees towering into the sky, a dense vine tightly wrapped around the tree, upward absorption of sunlight, relatively speaking, in addition to thick dead branches and leaves, there are basically no weeds on the ground.
Looking at the environment in front of them, many people breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem to be as difficult as they imagined, just in the current environment, even if they encountered a fierce beast attack, they could reflect it as soon as possible.
Just when many people were breathing a sigh of relief, suddenly a mercenary accidentally stepped on a hole, and the person fell into the hole alive, only to hear a scream farther and farther away!
When I walked in, it was actually a bottomless hole, and this mercenary seemed to be more than lucky!
With the lessons of the past, Chen Donglai chopped a long wooden stick and pinched it in his hand, exploring the way forward, and others saw Chen Donglai's method and followed suit.
"Where the damn mosquitoes came from!"
A man snapped and slapped the mosquito on his face.
The others were not surprised by this, and continued to move forward, but within a few minutes, where the voice came again just now, several people began to scold, where did so many mosquitoes come from, it's really annoying. Then there was the sound of swatting mosquitoes one after another!
When Chen Donglai saw this scene, he became mentally vigilant, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, there were not many mosquitoes here before, how could this thing suddenly appear.
The most important thing is that these people here have at least reached the level of cultivation and cultivation, although they can't be invulnerable, but ordinary mosquitoes are still difficult to pierce their skin, but so many people are stung by mosquitoes at this time, so it means that these mosquitoes must not be ordinary mosquitoes.
At this moment, Chen Donglai also noticed a mosquito-like insect flying towards him, but if you look closely, you will find that his color is much more gorgeous, and there is a long cyst-like thing dragging behind him.
Seeing the insects flying towards him, Chen Donglai didn't dare to shoot it with his hands, but broke a branch to drive it away.
"Oh, my face, my hands!" a scream rang out through the crowd.
Chen Dong came to see that it was the first person to shoot mosquitoes at that time, looked at his hands in horror, and screamed, only to see that his palms and face quickly swollen, and then suppurated, looking miserable, and finally in less than ten minutes, this person turned into a pile of mud.
Looking at the miserable appearance of this person just now, Chen Donglai quietly glanced at some of the people who had just slapped the mosquitoes, quickly distanced himself from them, and then ran forward desperately.
It didn't take long for the people who had just slapped the mosquitoes to start going crazy.
"Hmph! Since you're going to die, don't even think about living!"
"Hahaha! Let's die together!"
"Oh my God! Who's going to save me!!"
These people saw that they couldn't live, so they actually shot directly at the people next to them, of course, there were some people, seeing that they couldn't live, immediately covered the people who came with them to leave, and the scene was directly chaotic.
