Over the next few days, Shoko focused on learning about the Hero's Altar's training grounds, and spent soul points to open his own private training space. In the training ground, in addition to exercising the mastery of skills, the greatest use is to improve the proficiency of basic abilities.

Shaw learned that basic abilities include melee, range, physicism, water, meditation, and magic. Among them, when Xiao Ke came to the temple, he already had a first-level long-range combat and water nature, and a second-level proficiency in melee combat. Melee and ranged mastery can increase the hit rate and damage of melee and ranged combat, water-based can increase survivability and speed in water, body style can improve body flexibility and flexibility, meditation can increase vitality and mental power recovery speed, and mana can increase the damage value of damaging skills and the duration of control skills.

The upgrade of the basic ability requires two factors, one is proficiency, and the other is the basic ability to upgrade the scroll, the proficiency is like the experience value, the basic ability must be used to upgrade the level under the premise that the proficiency is full. Xiao Ke found that the time required to improve his proficiency was very large, and the improvement was very limited by only 10 days of rest, but despite this, the 10 days could not be wasted.

Basic ability upgrade scrolls, except for being obtained by killing enemies and completing quests in the proving ground, can only be purchased on the trading floor, all of which are worth a lot of money, while promotion scrolls above level 2 cannot be found on the trading floor on the first floor. Xiao Ke's second-level melee mastery is already full value, but he can't be upgraded because he can't buy a promotion scroll, which makes Xiao Ke very depressed.

On the trading floor, Chauco purchased a Basic Meditation Mastery Scroll and a Level 2 Ranged Ascension Scroll, costing a total of 2,800 Soul Points. So far, 6,312 soul points have been spent on the 7,414 soul points obtained by Xiao Ke in the first novice trial, which makes Xiao Ke's idea of decorating his private space completely bankrupt. Basic meditation increased Xiao Ke's mental recovery speed by 1%, which is better than nothing.

Since Xiao Ke has no damage skills and control skills for the time being, he did not buy the basic magic mastery scroll, and the purchase of the second-level ranged combat upgrade scroll is because Xiaoke's first-level ranged combat proficiency is also close to full value, so, in these ten days, Xiaoke's goal is to upgrade the ranged battle. When serving in the special forces, Xiao Ke's physical skills are unmatched, but the marksmanship is a little unsatisfactory, although the fixed target is a hundred shots, but the results of the moving target can only be regarded as medium in the troops, which has always been Xiao Ke's regret, now Xiao Ke has improved his perception ability, practicing marksmanship to add wings, Xiao Ke is also working harder and harder, and finally on the eighth day, the proficiency of the first level of distance combat is full, and then the level of the second level upgrade scroll will be upgraded to the first level of basic distance combat mastery, and the hit rate and damage of the distance combat will be increased by 3%.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed, and on the last day, Shoko had purchased a handful of grids? Locke 18 pistol, an MP5/40 submachine gun, steel javelins and other cold weapons, a large amount of ammunition and medical supplies, and then bought a large number of portable food, after preparation, there are not many soul points left on his body, which makes Xiao Ke very distressed, in order to improve the chances of survival in the next trial, Xiao Ke had to reduce the equipment sold in the auction house, so that the 5 pieces of equipment that could have been sold for more than 2500 points were only sold for a total of 1800 points, He then spent 2,000 points in the Temple of Nothingness to buy a full recovery potion, which is extremely expensive, but the effect is absolutely unbelievable, it can restore all health in an instant and can heal most wounds, of course, the 1-hour cooldown does not allow people to become immortal through this potion. So, before leaving, Shoko only had a pitiful 52 soul points left. After listening to Xiao Ke's complaints, Yu Ke and the others, who had an average of less than 2,000 soul points per game, smiled helplessly.

When the morning of the eleventh day came, the melodious bells rang in all the planes and spaces of the temple. All the trialists silently came to the Void Temple, and Xiao Ke realized that the number of trialists was so large, and the Void Temple, the size of a small city, was actually full of trialists, I am afraid that there must be tens of thousands of people.

In the center of the temple, next to the statue of Amansel, a huge portal stands proudly, emitting a dazzling holy light. At the foot of the portal, a priestly dressed as nothingness stood, so small but as dazzling as the portal. His magnetic voice rang in the ears of every trialist: "Now, the trial begins~!" ”

The portal burst into a violent light, and Xiao Ke felt a wave of dizziness, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in another world.

It was pitch black and there was no light. But when Xiao Ke was transformed on the earth, he already had shimmer vision, and after sacrificing the soul teardrop of the Velociraptor King, his perception and vision were greatly improved, and he already had the ability to see in the dark, although this ability was not perfect, but it could still be observed very clearly within 50 meters.

The place where Xiao Ke was located was a huge cave, and due to the darkness, Xiao Ke couldn't observe too far, but from the top of the mountain, which could only be vaguely observed, the top of this huge cave was about 200 meters highest, and around Xiao Ke, there were scattered several trialists, who didn't seem to have regained consciousness.

After a few seconds, the trialists began to wake up and start to make noise. At this moment, a huge golden light shone through, leaving a few lines of eye-catching words in mid-air, which also illuminated this huge cavern, and at the same time, the cold and majestic voice of the temple sounded in everyone's ears again:

"The Proving Ground is officially opened, and the scene is borrowed: Alien vs. Predator series"

"Main quest 1: Hunting, kill at least 8 Xenomorphs or 6 Trial Predators or 2 Elite Predators, and complete one of the above three options. Quest completion rewards 1 free attribute point, 1000 soul points, and more rewards can be obtained for overcompletion. ”

"Main quest 2: Extermination, kill the alien queen. Rewards are distributed according to the contribution made in the battle, and the trialist who finally kills the alien queen will be rewarded with an additional silver skill point. ”

"Side Quest: Investigation, in this world, there are many secrets of ancient times waiting for you to excavate, discover and complete the corresponding tasks, you will get rich rewards."

"After the death of the alien queen, the trialists who complete the main quest one can freely open the portal to return, and the maximum stay time in this world is 36 hours, and the trialists who do not return after 36 hours will be punished by heaven."

"This trial is a peaceful trial scene, killing the trialist will not get a reward, and 1000 soul points will be deducted for each trialist killed, and those with negative soul points will be punished by heaven."

"Hint: You only have a maximum of 20 trials (except for the Novice Trial) to find your way to the second level of the Temple, and if you fail to advance after 20 games, you will be punished by heaven, this is the first official trial of number 00357 on the first floor of the Temple, please cherish every opportunity to try and strengthen yourself as much as possible."

After the golden words dissipated, the golden light did not dissipate, and still illuminated the entire space. At a glance, Shoko saw that 500 meters ahead of the level clearing where the trialist was located, was a huge pyramid-shaped structure, the architectural style of the pyramid was a mixture of Aztec, Egyptian and Cambodian cultures, this is the world's first pyramid, the hunting ground built by the powerful alien creature Predator, and the killing ground of this mission.

At this time, a black trialist who was not too tall, but muscular as a piece of iron shouted in a rough voice: "I am Edmund, and this one next to me is my partner Thor, you guys, if you are not confident in the mission, you can join us to ensure that you survive the test, on the condition that you obey the command, and 50% of the income from this field, do you want to join?" With that, Edmund put his arms on his chest and stared arrogantly at the other trialists in the field, while Thor beside him looked indifferent, with his hands in his pockets and whistling.

The trialists immediately whispered, and one of the trialists not far from Shoko whispered to himself, "It's Black Iron Edmund and Meat Grinder Thor!?" Xiao Ke turned his head to look, and to his surprise, this person was actually Hou Jie!

At this time, Hou Jie also saw Xiao Ke, he ran over in surprise and said, "Brother Xiao, it's actually you." ”

Xiao Ke said with a smile: "Manager Hou, we are really fateful!" ”

Hou Jie smiled: "Yes, I didn't expect to meet you, Brother Xiao, I don't know what Brother Xiao's plans are for this mission?" ”

Shoko pouted at Edmund, "What's going on with the two of them?" ”

Hou Jie immediately said: "This Edmund is nicknamed Black Iron, he and Thor, nicknamed the meat grinder, have signed a life and death alliance contract, and they are one of the few warbands on the first floor of the temple, and their names are called the Iron Warband. Both of them are strong men who have experienced more than 10 battles, and they are very famous on the first floor! ”

Xiao Ke pursed his lips and said, "I'm not interested in sending people under the fence, or do I like to be alone, what about you, Brother Hou?" ”

Hou Jie smiled bitterly: "I don't expect to kill the alien queen, let's try it myself first to see if I can pass the main quest one, if it really can't work, I have to spend money to buy peace." ”

There were a total of twelve trialists in this trial, and at this time, two trialists had already nodded and asked to join Edmund's steel team, and a trialist in the distance suddenly spat on the ground with disdain, and said, "Phew! No waste! ”

Everyone's eyes looked at him, and Xiao Ke was surprised to find that it was actually another person he knew, and this trialist was actually Zhang Tian!

Hou Jie couldn't help but say, "Is it him?" Wolf of the Wind Zhang Tian! ”

Zhang Tian had already taken the lead in running towards the pyramid at this time, but Xiao Ke keenly noticed that Zhang Tian glared at him fiercely when he left.

Xiao Ke shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said to Hou Jie: "Then I'll leave too, good luck Brother Hou!" With that, he walked towards the pyramid alone, and at the same time, there were three other trialists who acted alone, keeping their distance from each other, and began to march towards the pyramid.

At this time, the light that illuminated the underground cavern gradually dissipated, and the entire underground became dark again, but fortunately, most of the trialists were prepared for the darkness and showed their abilities.

Xiao Ke walked on the steps leading to the entrance of the pyramid, with a glimmer of vision and strong perception of the eyes keenly found a small barrel on the steps, Xiao Ke picked up this thing, carefully observed, this is a used flare, Xiao Ke looked at it thoughtfully, smiled weirdly, casually smashed this little thing, threw it away, and then entered the dark pyramid without hesitation.

In the halls of the underground caverns, most of the trialists have not yet set out, although some people do not want to join the Iron Clan, but in such a dark environment, the opponents are Predators and Xenomorphs who are good at stealth, most of the trialists still want to act with the large army, and feel that it is safer this way. At this moment, the grand voice of the temple suddenly sounded in everyone's consciousness: "The Predator spaceship has descended, please enter the pyramid within 10 minutes, otherwise you will be surrounded and suppressed by the elite Predator." ”

This time was a big surprise, someone suddenly ran towards the pyramid in a panic, and Black Iron Edmund glanced at the few panicked trialists with disdain, and said to Thor and the other newcomers: "Let's go too, don't panic." It's a fun game, where we Trialists and Xenomorphs and Iron Wills are hunters and prey to each other, and those who are not calm enough are always the first to be targeted by hunters. With that, he led the people towards the pyramid.

Shortly after the group left, a strange flash of light suddenly appeared in the underground hall, and a huge spaceship appeared out of thin air. The Predators didn't know how to drive the ship underground!

With the opening of the door of the spaceship, a large number of Predators poured into the ground, they did not say a word, silently lined up in a neat formation, when this group of Predators finished the team, several predators wearing cloaks surrounded an exceptionally tall Predator slowly walked out of the spaceship.

The tall Predator was dressed in golden armor, with a huge blood-red cloak on his back, and a golden visor, and his eyes faintly glowing blood-red. If there were a trialist here, he would be shocked and speechless, because this Predator actually floated in the air, standing out of thin air, shining with golden light, like a god.

With the Predator's command, all the Predators quickly entered a stealth state and headed for the pyramid. The Predator then gave an order to the warriors left behind on the ship, and entered the pyramid with a few followers.

Anyone who could understand the Predator's language would be filled with despair, because the Predator's order to the ship was that any creature that came out of the pyramid was to be destroyed by concentrated artillery fire before the Predator finished hunting.

The hunting game has officially begun!
