The golden sand glowed through the cracks in the dense canopy, the smell of earth and dead leaves mixed with the nostrils, and the whole forest was surrounded by silence except for the occasional chirping of birds.

This is a real simulated forest, and everything that is seen is real, except for the borders and numerous camera surveillance equipment.

This is the exclusive site of several Eater Bases for training candidates to survive in the wild, and it contains scenes from the Calamity that humans have explored so far.

It is also the atmosphere that the future Devourer will experience when he is on duty in the Calamity, after all, in addition to the organized large-scale attack of the Abyssal Beast, humans also need to constantly go to various natural areas to collect the resources they need.

This results in Squad Battles in addition to frontal Clan Battles, as well as Squad-organized encounters.

Therefore, in addition to transforming into a devourer, the candidate must also experience various scenarios and even battles in various environments to improve his future response experience.

"Old Ma, have you noticed that Zhang He has changed a lot during this time?"

At this moment, in the forest, Zheng Zhong was wearing another tight-fitting black and orange candidate military uniform, holding a standard saber, and carefully groped for it.

There was a rustling sound in the headset.

Then Ma Jie's voice sounded: "I said broken mouth, now it's a mock exam, can't you keep your mouth shut quietly?" I really don't know how Zhang He can stand you, and he always likes to stay with you! ”

After Zheng Zhong heard Ma Jie's words, he suddenly grinned and said, "Young master, I am attractive, but a broken mouth does not mean that I am not cautious enough!" ”

With Zheng Zhong's words, his originally slow figure suddenly dodged sideways, his movements were extremely fast, and at the same time, the standard saber slashed diagonally at the bushes on his side.

In an instant, a bright red liquid squirted out diagonally, Zheng Zhong's dodging figure just avoided the splash, and the blood also made a 'clang' corrosive sound when it touched the vegetation.

And the vegetation is turning black and withering at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

"Hmph, I've been following the young master for a long time, but it's just a flame blood python." Zheng Zhong looked at the half-cut snake head exposed between the bushes and said coldly.

Then Zheng Zhong continued to grope in the forest, and at the same time touched the microphone in his ear, and said softly: "Continuing with the topic just now, what do you think of Zhang He's recent changes?" ”

Ma Jie was silent for a moment in the headset, and then sighed lightly: "We have only been in contact for less than half a month, what do you want me to think?" Don't forget, the mock test is not only a pseudo-beast, but also Zhang He and Mu ......, who play the hunters"

It's just that before Ma Jie's words were finished, Zheng Zhong's headset heard a 'rustling' interference sound.

Listening to the voice in his ears, Zheng Zhong knew that Ma Jie should have been attacked, so he immediately turned off the headset, but swallowed his saliva with a nervous face: "Grandma is a bear, every time it is Zhang He's turn and Mu Xiaoxiao to play the hunters, they never leave their hands, and I can't paddle if I want to make the young master!" ”

It's just that at the moment when Zheng Zhong's words fell, an extremely soft voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "So you are the last!" ”

Subconsciously, Zheng Zhong slashed to the side, but he didn't cut anything, not even a single figure.

"Zhang He! I know it's you, can't we just release the water? Good personal relationship! Zheng Zhong shouted into the surrounding empty forest.

However, at the moment when Zheng Zhong finished shouting, he found that his ankle was grabbed by something, and then a strong sense of weightlessness came, Zheng Zhong's upper body tilted directly, and he fell to the ground on his back.

There was a 'bang', and Zheng Zhong's entire face was pressed to the ground covered with dirt and dead leaves.

In the next second, just as Zheng Zhong raised his head and was about to turn around, he found that someone was already sitting on his waist, and at the same time, a sharp dagger emitted a cold cold light and placed it next to his neck.

Zheng Zhong, who knew that he had failed this round of mock exams again, sighed helplessly, and then let out a 'puff' and spit out the rotten leaves in his mouth.

But he didn't care about the dagger at all, but laughed: "Come on, let me go quickly!" Do you want to be so competitive? ”

It's a pity that Zheng Zhong's words didn't get any response.

Immediately after, Mu Xiaoxiao's voice sounded in his ears: "Don't you want to know what changes have happened to Zhang He?" Maybe you and Lao Ma Duo will be able to figure it out together! ”

Just as Mu Xiaoxiao's words fell, Zheng Zhong found that a person was thrown down beside him, splashing a lot of dead leaves, and at the same time, he also saw that the figure was Ma Jie, who was tied up by five flowers.

And Zhang He squatted in front of Zheng Zhong: "Mu Xiaoxiao is the captain of the first team appointed by the chief, she asked you two to think more, you two better look at each other!" ”

After speaking, Zhang He got up again and dragged out the other two teammates who were also tied up from behind the tree.

Obviously, in this group of mock exams, the hunters played by him and Mu Xiaoxiao don't just have to face Zheng Zhong and Ma Jie, but no matter how many there are, it doesn't seem to be too difficult for the two of them.

"The two of them are already the last pair of targets, tonight's happy night at the bar, let Zheng Zhong pay for it, otherwise tie him up for a while!"

Hearing Zhang He's words, Zheng Zhong twisted his body that had been tied up by Mu Xiaoxiao, and retorted, "Why? Master, my money didn't come from the wind! ”

It's just that Zhang He didn't mean to pay attention to Zheng Zhong, and then walked to a big tree, sat down with his eyes closed, and rested with his eyes slightly closed.

Silently staring at Zhang He's figure, Mu Xiaoxiao's face also showed a hint of curiosity, because Zheng Zhong's words just now were actually a question in her heart.

Now, a week has passed since Zhang He left the ward, but during this week, Zhang He himself has changed very much.

First of all, when he was in the first team training and dormitory, he would not wear that half-face mask all the time, but only when he thought he needed to, which seemed to Mu Xiaoxiao to mean that he planned to open up to the people around him who were more familiar with him?

Secondly, the cold dead silence and insulator-like aura on his body have disappeared, although it still gives people a very cold feeling, but it does not resist contact with people, and even occasionally makes some jokes with everyone.

Finally, it is Zhang He's intellectual attitude towards the various fields of devourers, you know, how conceited he was when he first joined the candidate training team, and even planned to show off his style at the welcome ceremony.

At that time, Zhang He was full of confidence in his ability, but now it fully reflects his talent as a former scholar, which can be described as a desperate intake, which in itself forms two extreme contrasts.

"If he can continue like this, maybe it is best for him to take the position of captain!" Mu Xiaoxiao raised his arm, looked at the armband on it, and thought with a light sigh.

It is undeniable that if Mu Xiaoxiao is not Zhang He's supervisor, if the position of captain is selected purely from personal strength, the best candidate should be Zhang He.

After all, from the perspective of strength, Zhang He still has the strength of a third-level strengthening person who still ranks first in the first team of candidates, and in addition to his lack of combat experience, his personal strength is very strong.

At the same time, after Zhang He was discharged from the hospital, he received another training of the virtual optic nerve device, and now Zhang He is becoming more and more proficient in the control of his own strength.

In fact, as long as he sharpens himself in actual combat, I believe that in the future, even if Zhang He's body can only stay at the stage of a third-level strengthened person, with the ability of his eyes, his combat effectiveness may be very strong.

Suddenly, Zhang He, who had his eyes closed, interrupted Mu Xiaoxiao's thoughts and said softly: "Don't look at me like this, it's just that you have figured out something!" ”

Hearing Zhang He's words, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Mu Xiaoxiao's mouth.

At this moment, she recalled the scene when she first came into contact with Zhang He.

If it weren't for Zhang He's discovery that she was not strong enough to treat emotions and was even a little fragile, she Mu Xiaoxiao would not have given up her identity as a superintendent, came to the Devourer base, and took the road of strengthening people to devourers to sharpen.

You must know that her choice at the beginning was red and red when she was fighting with her parents at home and even her eldest brother Mu Chen.

Therefore, Zhang He also changed her Mu Xiaoxiao's life to a certain extent.

However, when Mu Xiaoxiao was looking at Zhang He, Zhang He was also constantly thinking about his future life, and this proposition had been going on for a week, and it was likely to be longer.

For Zhang He, he knows exactly what his change represents.

So he didn't think there was anything strange about it, although it seemed to others that it might have changed a little too quickly.

But in fact, since Mu Xiaoxiao preached to himself in the ward.

Zhang He understood a truth, his enemy is Lin Haotian is a yaksha, yes, but both of them belong to the Abyss Council, and what kind of organization is the Abyss Council?

Although Zhang He did not have specific information, he also knew very well that it could be talked about by Chi Jiufeng, and even the Tario Council could not really block it, which shows the strength of the force.

Since the enemy itself is unfathomable, how can he truly take revenge after he has lost that perverted power?

Zhang He, who learned from the pain, understands that if he doesn't make good use of other resources, I'm afraid this feud will really be far away.

In other words, although Zhang He has undergone some changes in his mentality and behavior, the seeds of hatred in his bones have not disappeared, on the contrary, they have become stronger.

Because from now on, in order to achieve his goal, Zhang He will no longer rely solely on that force, but will begin to absorb all kinds of resources for his own use.

This has to be said to be a kind of growth for Zhang He, but in fact it is also a kind of sadness, after all, his life is driven by hatred.
