Chapter 45: The Spider's Lair
Wu Ming and the dozens of remaining people in the aisle passed the first round of assessment in a daze. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For them, this is simply the easiest assessment in history, but after standing in place for less than an hour, they were told the news of the successful promotion by Helian Qing, who came in a hurry, and it is no wonder that many people in the spectator seat were dissatisfied with this.
"Stinky boy, you're lucky."
As he passed by the three of them, he heard a taunt from Kerry. The people in the spectator seat also collectively issued a piercing "boo" sound for a while to these people who had bumped into the **** luck, which made everyone, including Wu Ming, embarrassed.
"We're street rats now." A thin dark-skinned young man beside him smiled bitterly at Wu Ming.
Wu Ming recognized this person, the dark-skinned young man named Lucio, also from a small aristocratic family in You Whale Town, who used to be a good friend of Adam, and had also visited Wu Ming's house before.
Among the people who cleared the level, in addition to Jessim, Carol and Greg, Wu Ming and Lucio were the "natives" from You Whale Town, and the remaining dozens of people were local adventurers in Canglong City. The five teenagers of You Whale Town stand in the majestic "Canglong Army" like inconspicuous sparks, giving people the illusion that they will dissipate at any time.
What's worse is that in the hearts of You Whale, everyone basically has no expectations for Wu Ming and Lucio's results, because everyone thinks that the two of them relied on luck to clear the level.
"Since there are only a few of us left, let's work together to fight for breath, let these nobles of Canglong City see that we, the 'natives from the countryside', are not easy to bully." Seeing Wu Ming's silence, Lucio reached out and made a high-five gesture, wanting to cheer him up.
"Thank you." Wu Ming suddenly had a good impression of this young man dressed in black charcoal, and immediately reached out to high-five him.
Ignoring the disdainful glances cast by a group of local nobles from Canglong around them, the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling a little confidant.
Ahead, Helian Qing clapped her palms and motioned for all the adventurers who had passed the first round of assessment to gather with her. At this time, there were several more faces in the team, including the three Bennies, who had not participated in the first round of assessments, and several mysterious people wearing black tights and masks. These people appeared around them like ghosts, and they appeared around them unconsciously, and their backs were neatly printed with black strange dragon patterns, and the black dragon eyes with teeth and claws were partially blank, as if they were about to devour people's sights and minds.
"Even the people from the Black Dragon Society are here." In the stands, Jiawen muttered to himself, he subconsciously glanced at Ji Lun, and when he saw Ji Lun's calm expression, he knew that this old boy had expected all this.
The Black Dragon Society is the largest gang in the empire, and unlike the gangs such as "Black Gold", "White Li", and "Qingjiao" in You Whale Town, the Black Dragon Society has branches throughout the empire, and its power even extends beyond the borders, and has hidden power in the "Land of Heaven" and the Seven Great Powers. As a result, the president of the Black Dragon Society was given the title of "Night Dragon King", a symbol of his unbreakable status and power in the underground world, although no one knew the true identity of this "Dragon King".
"Even the Black Dragon Club has entered the game, it's getting more and more interesting." Jiawen was shocked at first, and then actually showed a smile of relief.
This old fox wishes that the situation would be a little more complicated, and it is best to even enter the famous "Dark Moon" and "Rebel Army", which is enough to taste!
Now, without the "Dark Moon" and the "Rebel Army", this scale is barely strong.
Helian Qing led everyone to start the second round of assessment. According to her resolute temperament, the vice president with a girlish face directly led everyone to the center of the training ground, signaling everyone to stand in the ring.
"Could it be that the content of the second round of assessment is to fight in the ring?" Such questions arise in people's minds.
What happened next shook everyone!
I saw Helian Qing take out the mana crystals that had been prepared long ago from his arms, place them in the center of the training ground, and then hit them carefully in a few fixed places on the ground, as if he was triggering some mechanism. Then, the entire ground caved down as if it had collapsed, revealing a huge crater with a radius of several tens of meters! The edge of the cave happened to extend to the corner of the ring, and the hole was full of rubble, and a staircase made of rolling stones snaked straight to the bottom of the cave, where it was pitch black and it was impossible to see anything.
"It's ...... What the. "People are facing bottomless holes in the ground, and they feel like their hearts are starting to beat faster.
A smug smile appeared on Ji Lun's old face in the stands.
"This ...... This...... It's hard to ......"
Jiawen reversed his previous smug appearance, his tone was a little dry, and he looked at Ji Lun who was smiling on the side, and a chill rose in his heart.
As far as he knew, Ji Lun majored in a rare formation master profession, and he was the best at arranging earth attribute formations.
"This pit...... Could it be this old fellow...... Forced out with a formation? ”
Although there are a thousand unwillingness and ten thousand unbelief in his heart, Jiawen knows that there may be no other explanation for the origin of the cave in front of him except this!
It's really enviable, this old man, obviously going to be in a coffin, can still step into such a supreme realm before he dies!
Emotions called jealousy kept pouring out of Jiawen's heart......
On the other side, Helian Qing ignored the shocked looks of the crowd and had already begun to quickly introduce the content of the second round of assessment.
"First of all." She pointed to the burrow, "It's a spider's nest. ”
The crowd's eyes widened in bewilderment.
"The burrow was made by our president, and I'll make a long story short as to why it became a spider's nest." She coughed and moistened her throat, "There's a rare insect in the Daredevil's Forest called the Poisonous Tarantula, and I'm sure adventurers who have ever had an adventure should have heard of them. The mother body of this spider is very poisonous and can rely on the environment to lay eggs and reproduce in large quantities, so it is a very special creature. Due to its spawning characteristics, it is very suitable as an assessment task, so our union has managed to transplant most of the poisonous tarantulas into this burrow. ”
"So, President He, is this round of assessment for us to go down and hunt these poisonous tarantulas?" A certain aristocratic young man couldn't wait to speak.
"That's right." Helian Qing snapped his fingers, "But each of you can only hunt one poisonous tarantula mother, and after killing, bring the corpse and hand it over to me, even if you have completed the assessment task." ”
"That's it?" People looked at each other, and compared to the first round of flesh and blood, the task of the second round of assessment seemed to be undifficult at first glance.
"Of course it's more than that." Helian Qing saw through everyone's thoughts, and she said in a deep voice, "Killing the mother poisonous tarantula is only one of the conditions for passing the assessment. In fact, what determines the results of the assessment is how many silkworms you can kill that are bred by the mother of a poisonous tarantula! ”
