Chapter 31: The Challenge of Survival

As if sensing that the two of them were not easy to mess with, the monster hiding under the ice let go of the three tentacles wrapped around the legs of Fang Chang's shirt and quickly retreated.

"Want to go? No way. At this moment, the two big hands of Fang Changyi, who had been freed, tightened the tentacles, squeezed them together, took a step back, and tried all his strength to pull the monster out.

"I'm coming!" Kornar came to help, grabbed the underside of the tentacle, and the two of them pulled hard together.

The creatures under the ice struggled in horror and let out bursts of screams, but they couldn't stop the strength of the two of them, and the ice cracked a hole, revealing a large white head to the ground.

"What's that?" Fang Changsan said curiously.

The snow-white head was like a big drill, the front was pointed and the back was thick, densely covered with intricate spiral lines, the fist-sized eyes were flustered, and two of the five tentacles on the body were broken by the square robe, and the great pain made it look distorted.

"Whatever it is, pull it out and talk about it!"

With both hands, Konar pulled the creature out from under the ice, and the two of them could see that its body was covered in smooth snow-white scales, and the structure of its head allowed it to move through the ice.

"Little thing, just because you want to eat us too?" Kornar controlled the octopus-like creature and didn't give it a chance to escape, "What to do?" ”

"I'm worried about running out of food, so I'll keep it for dinner!" Fang Changyi stepped on a tentacle and said.

"Whew!" As if to understand the decision of the two, driven by the survival instinct of the creature, the snow octopus struggles desperately, trying to escape from the clutches of the two.

"It's all anvil of fish, and I don't give up." Pinching its big head, Konar smiled: "It is said that the creatures on Sedna are generally not poisonous, and we can roast and eat them." ”

"Well, such a big octopus, save some food, enough to meet our food for five days." Fang Changsan nodded.

Just as the two of them were discussing what to do with the snow octopus, the snow octopus struggled harder, and let out a rhythmic cry, Fang Changyi frowned when he saw this.

"Bang!"

The huge fist smashed on the skull, and the snow octopus immediately became dizzy, its tentacles were limp and paralyzed, and it fainted.

"It's so much better."

"Haha, food delivered to your door." Konar carried the octopus onto his shoulder, "Let's go, we wasted a lot of time, but fortunately we found food." ”

Picking up the two broken tentacles on the ground, Fang Chang's robe was not wasted, and he sped a few steps to keep up with Konar.

After the two of them walked more than 400 meters, Fang Changyi suddenly glanced back, he remembered the cry of the snow octopus just now, and felt that something was wrong.

Could it be a cry for help from a companion?

"We're in danger."

Fang Changsan said, he noticed a slight tremor coming from the ground, gathering under his feet.

"Damn, poked a hornet's nest."

Kornar cursed, there were definitely hundreds of these white-scaled monsters lurking underground.

The two of them didn't say a word, and there was another wild run, and the ice behind them broke cracks, spreading like centipedes, and suddenly the ice cubes rose into the sky, lifting up the ice slag all over the sky, and fell to the ground with a bang, it was a large group of ice scale monsters, chasing after them with red eyes.

The monsters emerged from the ground and chased them like skiers.

"Is there any mistake, why did the Star Academy throw us in such a place, and still don't let us use mechas." Konar looked back and cursed with a bitter face, wishing he had a few more legs.

The endless frozen land, with nothing to take advantage of.

"Use the thrusters one more time."

The two of them looked at each other helplessly, so many monsters were not something they could deal with.

A blazing flame erupted from the thrusters on their backs, and the two of them shook off the monsters and came to an iceberg.

Fang Changsan said: "Let's stay here, wait until this little thing is eaten, and then find a way to survive for ten days without starving to death." ”

Fearing that other frightening species would appear, the two hurriedly dug a cave in a corner of the iceberg to accommodate the two of them, and just lived in it and hid.

They relied on the monster for five days, and on the morning of the sixth day, they were so hungry that they ran out to find food, but on the way they encountered a huge white-haired monster, and fled for a long time, until they returned to the cave at night, and found nothing.

On the seventh day, they found something that looked like a lotus flower growing on an iceberg outside, and after simply heating it with a fire-making device, the two of them pinched their noses and ate it.

Kornal was dizzy after eating, and let out a series of inexplicably strange translations, "Oh, I swear, this food is terrible. ”

The two of them clutched their stomachs, retching outside with one hand against the wall for a long time, and returned to the cave in a huff.

Konar's face turned blue and he collapsed on the ice with weakness, and cursed in a low voice, "Who came up with the bad idea to put us on this bare planet?" ”

Fang Changyi rolled his eyes and said, "Guess what's wrong with the others?" There was no starvation. ”

On the eighth day, the two of them traveled dozens of miles and found a long-dead minotaur monster, smiling brighter than the sun in the sky smaller than soybeans.

After eating and drinking, Fang Changsan and the two felt that this was the happiest thing in the world, and they didn't have to starve.

But the good times did not last long, and at noon on the ninth day, a deafening howl shook the entire iceberg, and Fang Changyi and Conal stretched out their heads to see that it was the two-headed, six-eyed, five-meter-high, dark purple monster they had first seen in the sky.

The purple monster chased after the four candidates at a very fast speed, and the four candidates obviously ran out of fuel for the thrusters, and ran desperately towards the iceberg.

"It's none of our business."

Neither Fang Changsan nor Konar are people with good hearts, not to mention that now as competitors, every one less person will benefit them more.

The two of them pushed a large block of ice and blocked the doorway to prevent the men from calling for help.

However, when the four saw them, they ran towards them and shouted desperately, "Brother in front, don't close the door, save us." ”

Fang Changsan and Konar were unmoved, hiding in the ice cave and not going out.

The people outside began to shout and curse loudly, angrily accusing them of not talking about humanity and not saving them when they saw death, and soon some people pressed the failure button and fled to the sky urgently, and some people were unwilling, hesitated for a moment, and were thrown to the ground by the purple monster, biting the armored suit, and letting out a burst of screams.

Konar shrugged, and the two of them were silent for a long time, listening to the movement outside becoming smaller, and finally there was silence,

After the last day, they finished the survival test and gathered in another martial arts arena.

There are only a thousand people left, and among them, the top 100 freshmen will be decided, and they will enjoy the special care of the Star Academy.

Yagill stood on the stage and spoke: "You must have many people who scolded us behind our backs, saying that we were too harsh and didn't care about the life and death of the candidates. ”

"But what you don't know is that those interstellar soldiers on the Kuiper Line experience what dangers and pains they experience every day, maybe they are ordinary, but they are definitely more than you contribute to the future of this human civilization."

"Recognize the reality, students, the universe has always been cruel, especially for the weak, since you have chosen this path, you must be prepared for life and death."

"I'll tell you a piece of news, the sub-pupil civilization in the Lalande 21158 galaxy, eight light-years away from the solar system, is integrating an interstellar army and has the strategic intention of aggressing our civilization."

"In other words, in the future, our enemies will probably no longer be cosmic monsters, but intelligent beings with laws and regulations like us!"

"You carry the hope of the future, if you are vulnerable, when the Yatong people invade the solar system, how will you deal with it, and use your worthless face to beg for mercy? Don't be naΓ―ve! ”

Yagill's words were deafening, revealing a lot of inside information that was difficult for the outside world to hear.

"The purpose of the existence of our Star Academy is very clear - it is only to cultivate the strongest pilots, and the legal system built by the Federation will not work here."

"I tell you unabashedly, the entire Starry Sky Academy is a dark place full of gangs and clubs, implementing the most cruel elimination system, dead people are common, and the weak who don't seek progress are not worthy of staying in it."

"You have to be mentally prepared to get to this point."
