The next day, before dawn, a rapid drum beat woke everyone up. Ding Ruoyu quickly ran out of the house, and under the watchful eye of a group of black-clothed young dead soldiers, he went to the wide open space surrounded by a black iron fence outside the house.

It was the day of the selection of the Underground Net Palace.

After everyone had gathered, the black-clothed dead man waved his hand high, and someone let in a fierce cheetah.

Ding Ruoyu didn't know why, and the black-clothed dead man in front of them said gloomily: "The cheetah will pounce after a while, you will learn from the back first, and watch how I killed this beast!" ”

Several timid girls screamed. Ding Ruoyu looked back and saw that the color of their clothes was the most basic gray and white, and it was obviously the first time to participate in the selection of this Netting Palace.

At this time, the man in black roared, and the cheetah in the fence suddenly rose up like an enraged rage, and pounced on the crowd violently.

But seeing that he was not flustered, his toes touched the ground slightly, and the whole person swept up several feet high, turned over in mid-air, and smashed his fist into the leopard's left eye socket with a fist on his head and feet. Immediately, the whole person rode on the head of the cheetah, grabbed the fur on the top of the head and kicked it violently.

The leopard was in pain and kept shaking its head vigorously in an attempt to throw the young man off the top of his head. After a while, when the leopard was exhausted, the black-clothed dead man suddenly stretched out his arms to hold the leopard's head, and plunged his fingers into its throat, pulling a large piece of flesh apart.

The leopard whimpered a few times before falling to the ground.

The children in the fence exclaimed in amazement, and Ding Ruoyu glared at the black-clothed dead man, listening to him carefully teach: "No matter what, the eyes and throat are vital parts......

Looking at the black-clothed dead soldier who calmly jumped to the ground and stepped out of the black iron fence, she nodded thoughtfully.

Someone brought in a wooden frame with five half-arm-long machetes stuck on it as blades for them.

Seeing the iron gate open again, confirmed her suspicions. The black-clothed dead man announced the rules of this selection: only children who kill the beast can be led out of this iron cage, otherwise they will either be eaten by the beast, or they will be sent back to continue training and wait for the next assessment.

At the sound of an order, the children in the cage scrambled to snatch the five knives. Ding Ruoyu saw that she couldn't grab it, so she silently retreated to the corner, most of the children were as bare-handed as her and didn't have the terrifying strength of the man in black, how could she kill those fierce beasts?

Ding Ruoyu looked around and saw that there were no items available, so he had to take out the silver hairpin wrapped in rags in his arms. The most merciful thing about the camp of the dead was that they were allowed to enter with a belonging. She left behind this long hairpin, the ornament of Xu's last sunset in a pool of blood.

Clenching the hairpin, her mood suddenly calmed down a lot. Although his strength was insufficient, his three years of practice in the Shura Field were not in vain. She is still very confident in her ability to escape.

At this moment, my life is at stake, and I can only go all out.

With a few cold whispers, five black wolves were let in. Ding Ruoyu bit his lower lip, although his heart was not a power-type beast, but this kind of social and fast animal was not easy to deal with.

Each cage has five wolves and fifty children, which is one out of ten...... She must find a way to kill one head and seize the opportunity to advance this time.

After hearing the attack command from the man in black, the wolves that have been domesticated all year round seem to scatter into several places where there are not many people. When a hungry wolf is captured, the rest of the wolves will abandon the object of the chase and gather to gnaw the first prey to the bones.

Ding Ruoyu dodged and secretly thought about countermeasures. Suddenly, a hungry wolf pounced on him, and as soon as he secretly said that something was wrong, a staggering figure fell in front of him. The wolf was enraged and bit down on the throat of the faller, and blood splattered all over her face.

Someone snorted coldly in his ear, and then the hungry wolf in front of him who was about to gnaw let out a wail. Ding Ruoyu saw that it was a young man who had survived with the same earthen house, holding a sharp piece of iron stained with wolf blood that he had picked up out of nowhere, and his face was hideous and terrifying.

She stared at him and asked stiffly, "Did you push him on purpose?" ”

The young man looked at Ding Ruoyu like a monster and said disdainfully: "If it were me, do you think he wouldn't do it?" ”

Ding Ruoyu's face turned white. She learned another lesson, life or death, survival of the fittest, this is indeed the only solution.

But can she do it? Could it be that such ruthlessness, cruelty, unscrupulousness, lack of trust and no friends is what she really has to face in this cold camp of dead soldiers?

Silently clenched the hairpin, seeing another wolf pounce, she did not hesitate to push the corpse of her companion in front of her to the black wolf, and when the black wolf lowered its head to eat, her arms clasped the wolf's head, and the silver hairpin in her right hand kept stabbing at the wolf's throat until her body was stained with blood.

The strong smell of blood choked her stomach, and her eyes gradually blurred. The remaining two black wolves smelled the smell and rushed over, but she didn't seem to see anything, and her hands didn't stop moving, as if she was destroying the faith she had always had, until she fell unconscious, and her arms hung down limply.

There were two terrible howls, and the black wolf fell to the ground and whimpered.

Outside the iron fence, a slender girl in black appeared on the high platform that could be watched by the nobles of the Yan Kingdom, she looked down, put down her bow and arrows, and slowly walked to the side of a young man in a red cloak whose hood almost covered most of his face.

"Master Guoshi, she is a hard-working child, and her flexible footwork when confronting the evil wolf has obviously been trained several times harder than others. If it weren't for the life-threatening thing, would she still have to behave like the weak and windy appearance before? The girl said.

The young man climbed her arm and got up, lifted the brim of his hat above his eyes and said with a smile: "Children are boring to fight, are you right?" ”

Weak Water looked at his back and left without hesitation, sighed, and whispered a few words to the man in black who was in charge of the young dead man before leaving.

Ding Ruoyu opened his eyes tiredly, and in front of him was a sleepless magnified concerned face.

"......" She was almost startled, and suddenly came to her senses.

Seeing that she was fine, Sleepless patted her forehead and smiled: "Unexpectedly, you are quite capable!" ”

"Do you remember me?" Hearing Sleepless's heartfelt praise, looking at the fierce eyes of a dozen young men and women behind her, Ding Ruoyu couldn't help but be stunned.

"This is ......," she said, sitting up, looking suspiciously at the room, which was much larger and brighter than before.

"Welcome to the Underground Net Palace!" Sleepless laughed heroically, patting her on the shoulder lightly or heavily.

Ding Ruoyu jumped down quickly to make the bed, and saw that there were only a dozen people in the room, each stranger than the other, and frowned slightly.

Sleepless saw her question, and slowly explained: "You were sent over by the senior brothers after you fainted, and today's selection only passed about a hundred people, and in the future, the training will be even more cruel, but don't relax." ”

She pointed to the bed opposite: "That's where I slept, and it just so happened that we were in the same room again." ”

"When is the next selection for the Earth Net Palace?" is different from this sleepless cold outside and hot inside, Ding Ruoyu is calm and direct inside and out.

"Tianluo Palace, six years later." Sleepless sat down on her own bed.

In the middle of the night, the wind was strong, and suddenly a series of bangs sounded.

Ding Ruoyu, who was sleeping deeply, was woken up by the sleepless beside him. As soon as I opened my tired eyes, I heard a short but powerful urging from Sleepless: "Night training, get up quickly!" ”

Ding Ruoyu couldn't help but shudder when she saw her cold expression, and was pulled out before she even had time to put on her coat.

In a hazy night, she suddenly realized that she was already a junior dead soldier of the Inner Gate Earth Net Palace.

Gritting their teeth, the thinly dressed teenagers and girls endured the cold wind in the middle of the night and began to train.

Night training camps are usually to learn moves in pairs, and during the day, the retired killers of the Tianluo Hall will be trained in person as instructors.

For the new members, this first night of sparring will be supervised and evaluated by a special instructor to determine their future grouping and use in the Dead Soldier Camp.

After listening to Sleepless's quick explanation, Ding Ruoyu figured it out. How hard the training in the Dead Camp was, otherwise how could it have created the most feared Assassins in the world?

But since she was six years old, hasn't she always hoped for the opportunity to become a strong person as Li Yun said, at least to ensure that her safety is not threatened?

The newcomers are led together by the instructor and randomly paired in pairs. Looking at the pale girl in front of her, who was delicate and shy and thin like a piece of thin paper, she couldn't help but feel pity from the bottom of her heart, and secretly told herself that she must pay attention to it when practicing and not be ruthless.

A whistle blows, and the battle begins.

As if suddenly changed, the pale girl's weak body bounced up violently, and pounced on the unprepared Ding Ruoyu like a falcon.

Ding Ruoyu didn't expect that this was also a girl with a kung fu foundation like Sleepless, so she couldn't help but be stunned. Fortunately, the three years of sleepless hard work every day in the Shura Field were not in vain, although the brain was blank, the body still reacted quickly, and quickly turned sideways to avoid the fast and hard blow.

Before her mind could settle down, the pale girl's second blow came again, an oblique kick that hit Ding Ruoyu's ribs.

She was kicked upside down and flew out, falling heavily to the ground covering her ribs, and just as she was about to get up, she received another blow to her back.

She gritted her teeth and stood up in pain, and the chill that spread all over her body made her obviously realize that the other party had made a killing move!

Ever since she had fought with the beasts during the selection, she had understood that this was a place where human life was treated like a mustard, and the teenagers who could stand in this dojo tonight had blood on their hands. Here, one less opponent will give you a better chance of survival, so there is never a shortage of people who want to put the other person to death.

She didn't want to die, she only had the humble desire to live. The thin, somewhat pale lips were bitten and bleeding, and the cold hand suddenly reached into his arms, and when he took it out again, he was already holding a sharp hairpin.

She once used this hairpin to stab a fierce hungry wolf to death.

In the face of the pale girl's fierce attack, it aroused the hatred and madness that had been buried deep in her bones and blood for a long time.

The tragedy of my mother being besieged to death three years ago is still vivid in my mind. She can't escape, she has to fight, she has to get stronger......

Standing firm and accumulating strength, the little girl swept the ground flat, and cleverly dodged to avoid the fierce attack of the pale girl. She suddenly remembered the scene of the black-clothed dead man fighting the cheetah, and in a trance, she forgot that she was still holding a sharp hairpin in her palm.

The explosive power of the whole body was amazingly displayed at this moment, and the hand that clenched his fist when he fell smashed angrily towards the pale girl who had not yet reacted.

Feeling the fierce fist wind, the pale girl subconsciously dodged in the opposite direction, but her thin neck hit the hairpin that Ding Ruoyu was holding in her other hand!

A long bloody scar stretched across half of the girl's neck, and because it had cut an artery, blood splattered and spilled all over the ground.

Ding Ruoyu looked at the pale girl who was bleeding more than enough and her eyes were full of hatred, and she also stood in place and froze.

She didn't want to kill the other party, but the facts told her that everything was irreparable.

I don't know how long it took, a whistle sounded, ending all the fighting in the arena and interrupting the fierce fear in Ding Ruoyu's heart.

Looking around, on the vast field, less than eighty percent of the more than 100 young men and women who have newly entered the underground net palace are still standing.

Three-quarters of the children who were standing were on the spot.

Ding Ruoyu raised his eyes to look at the clean moon in the corner of the sky, and the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated. She didn't want to kill and was afraid of getting blood on her hands...... But she had to survive. She knew that tonight was just the beginning.
