North of Shu County, the Valley of Black Stone.

As the first leveling point opened up by Fang Jin after arriving in his hometown in Shu County, the monsters here are now far from keeping up with the pace of professional improvement. Moreover, the spatial passage at the bottom of the Black Stone Valley Mine Cave, the number of demonic beasts on the opposite side is not unlimited. By the end of the 3rd year now, the number of monsters in the mine has been extremely small.

Over time, there are almost no professionals coming here to level up now.

Even the safety of the Survivors' Guild only regularly issues a mission to send a few gray iron professionals here to clean up. Make sure there are no surprises or missed monsters wandering outside the mine.

But as the graduation trial approached, it was chosen by the Rescuer's Guild as one of the twenty trial locations, and the long-silent Valley of Blackstone was revived.

Eight bronze leaders led the team, and a total of dozens of professionals broke into this mine cave that extends in all directions.

"Listen, all the monsters above level 3 are killed, and nothing is left behind. Otherwise, if something happens, you and I will all be responsible. Outside the lowest-level spatial passage, remember to leave two bronze thieves to guard. If there are out-of-level monsters coming, be sure to clear them in time. ”

With that, the bronze step at the head waved his hand, and the eight teams immediately split up.

Under their deliberate choice, all the first- and second-level demonic beasts were retained, ensuring that the two hundred professionals who came here for the trial would not be left without enough monsters to kill. And the monsters that exceeded the standard were ruthlessly cleaned up. With their current strength, the average level five or six demonic beasts in the Valley of Blackstone are no longer opponents.

In less than a day, the mines of the Valley of Blackstone had been completely wiped out.

Of course, due to the complex terrain in the mine, even if there is a relatively complete map, these members do not dare to absolutely guarantee that it is foolproof. When the trial really begins, there will naturally be thieves who can stealth skills to patrol and protect secretly.

A little later, other trial ground points and monster elimination have also been completed one after another.

Compared to the open field on the surface, the underground mine is undoubtedly more difficult, and there is no way to monitor the whole area through the reconnaissance eagle. But that's why it's the best place to test the trainees' performance.

When the list of 4,851 trainees was distributed, the instructors deliberately assigned some relatively promising seed members to this place according to the instructions of the guild. If they can successfully become teachers, they will naturally be more valued in the guild in the future.

………

Finally, the trainees waited until the fourth day.

After suffering for half a year, everyone got up early in the morning, ate the sumptuous breakfast specially prepared by the Rescuers Guild, and boarded the corresponding trial team according to the assigned site with their own preparations.

In addition to their own preparations, they each received a standard supply package before entering the Proving Grounds: two days of water and rations, a map, a low-quality wound medicine, a lighting stone, and a copper whistle for distress...... As for whether it is the professional who comes to the rescue first or more Warcraft, it depends on the destiny of each person.

"The final trial requires you to kill a demonic beast with real swords and guns, which is very dangerous. It's too late to quit now, otherwise once you enter the testing ground, you will really live and die. Is there a refund? ”

Although I didn't think that anyone would regress at the last minute, the guild leaders who were in charge of the various trial grounds still went through the process.

And the end result is not surprising.

You must know that the first batch of 4,851 people was carefully selected from more than 90,000 registered survivors, and the standards were extremely strict. can persist until now under Hill's brutal training, and it can be said that each of them has the strength of a pre-apocalyptic warrior. It's hard to imagine that such a warrior would back down just because of a word of intimidation.

"Good luck, then!"

After sending their blessings, with an order, the trainees, who were excited, nervous, apprehensive, or eager to try, lined up to enter the trial area. Then, at once, they dispersed according to their own plans. Either alone or in groups of threes and twos, they entered the depths of the trial site.

The trial point that Liu Feihong was assigned to happened to be in the mine cave of the Valley of Black Stone.

Because he had been fully prepared for a long time, Liu Feihong's mood was calmer than expected. He took a deep breath, grabbed an ordinary large ring knife distributed by the guild, and resolutely stepped into the dimly lit mine.

After the first dozen or so steps, the depths of the mine quickly became dark.

The trainees who went in before him had already taken out the lighting stones. But Liu Feihong knew that the inferior lighting stones assigned to them could provide a limited amount of lighting time. In the spirit of saving a little is a little, he followed the people in front of him to rub the light. It wasn't until after entering the first fork in the road that he took out his own lighting stone.

The white and soft light dispelled the darkness in the gloomy mine and gave Liu Feihong a sense of security.

After turning several forks in the road one after another, the voices of the other trialists were too faint to be heard. And this also means that he has slowly stepped out of the safe area and into a dangerous zone where monsters may appear at any time.

Liu Feihong froze in his mind, thinking back to the common types of monsters in the Valley of Blackstone, as well as their weaknesses and how to deal with them, and then acted quickly.

Perhaps as luck would have it, he didn't walk long before he saw a half-meter-long, gray-colored, and sharp monster at the end of a fork in the road.

Pincer puppers!

The mature body of this monster is a level 5 monster, which is obviously not something that non-professionals can fight against, and it was killed as early as a day ago in the elimination operation. And this pincer pup is much weaker, and its shell is also relatively fragile, with only level 2 strength.

Or else, that's it?

Although the ideal target is a level 1 monster, the biggest grasp and the risk is small, Liu Feihong knows that now is not the time when the end of the world has just come, and the weakest level 1 monster is not so easy to encounter.

However, something happened to Liu Feihong's chagrin.

He wandered here for a while, and then there was the sound of brisk footsteps behind him. Soon, two unfamiliar looking professionals, presumably assigned from other training grounds, rushed over from the darkness behind.

Seeing Liu Feihong's figure, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then immediately noticed the pincer pinch cub at the end of the fork in the road not far away, and they were immediately overjoyed.

Liu Feihong was shocked.

These two people are obviously familiar with each other. In addition to his sword, one of them carried a rudimentary steel shield, apparently under the guise of division of labor and taking turns to provide cover. This way, even if there is danger in a solo kill, the other person can provide cover in time.

Even if this independent kill will fail because of this, at least the person will not die, and he can retreat and make a comeback!

Now it's in trouble.

Seeing a trace of greed flashing on the faces of the two, Liu Feihong suddenly felt a little helpless. Although the rules of the trial require that malicious robbery is not allowed, and infighting is strictly prohibited, the word "malicious" is really cleverly used.

What's more, Liu Feihong really didn't have time to enter the battle.

In this case, the two who are one step slower are naturally not considered to be robbing monsters.
