Volume 1 Fall into Darkness Chapter 8 The Trial of Death
The destination of the flying ship is a floating island several times larger than the Reaper's base.
The island is much closer to the sea, with rocky structures at the bottom and yellow sand at the top.
The top layer of the island is desertified, but there is a lot of green vegetation growing on it, and the roots of these plants extend very deeply.
This is where the Grim Reaper is tested.
The newcomers are tasked with killing each other on this island, and the trials will not end until there are only twenty people left.
Blood Lei distributed a metal bracelet to everyone on their hands, this metal bracelet had the training code of each newcomer, and Qin Chuan's was the No. 11 bracelet.
The metal bracelet is linked to the equipment on the flying boat, which can monitor the wearer's vital signs, and if the codename bracelet corresponding to the flying boat's surveillance loses the signal, whether the person dies or the bracelet is removed, it will be considered obsolete.
Perhaps to encourage fighting among newcomers, Blood Thunder tells the crowd not to forget to take their bracelet with them every time they defeat a competitor, and that the last survivor will be rewarded according to how many bracelets they have.
This made some aggressive newcomers want to move, but Qin Chuan's mood fluctuated little, killing and being killed could happen here, so let's think about how to survive to the end first.
"Good luck, newcomers!" said Blood Thunder as cold as ever.
The flying boat follows the edge of the island, dropping one newcomer at a time, which is a rare and fair way to avoid encounters in the first place.
Qin Chuan was put down on the flying boat in the fifteenth, and the landing point was a large area of yellow sand.
As far as the eye can see, there is yellow sand everywhere, and the air is not as humid as a normal island, but as dry as a desert wilderness.
The short crossbow selected by Qin Chuan is a lighter type, with a short arrow hanging on the belt around his waist, the alloy short sword was placed in the leather sword sleeve by Qin Chuan and hung behind his waist, the small backpack fits the back, and he has little impression of the action, and the backpack is filled with food and water for five days.
Feeling the dryness of this place at this time, Qin Chuan was almost convinced in his heart that the water in his backpack would definitely not be able to support five days, and behind him was the cliff on the edge of the island and the vast sea, and if he wanted to find fresh water, he could only head to the middle of the island.
Qin Chuan had just raised his feet and had not yet fallen, and a few steps in front of him was aware of the sound of ropes under the yellow sand, and a fist-sized sand scorpion emerged from the yellow sand.
If the yellow-brown sand scorpion hadn't come out of the yellow sand, Qin Chuan really wouldn't have found out that it would have been hiding here a long time ago.
This sand scorpion is extremely poisonous, and Qin Chuan saw the purple tail hook on its tail, and he had no doubt that if the poison dispersed after being pricked, his life would be in danger.
This sand scorpion came out at this time, obviously discovering Qin Chuan, it waved its front claws, its sharp claws quickly inserted into the sand to push itself to move, and the sound of fine sand sounded and flew to Qin Chuan's feet in a long time.
Its formidable hook seemed to hang and sway listlessly, but it was afraid that it would burst out in the next second.
Sure enough, when the distance was about the same, the hook suddenly bounced up like a pressed spring that had lost its external force, and its edge was exposed.
Just as the poison hook stabbed Qin Chuan's ankle at an extremely fast speed, the alloy short sword was held by Qin Chuan and pulled out of the sword holster, and with a crisp sound, the poison hook stabbed the body of the alloy short sword that was harder than it.
The already curved hook was now even more curved, and the sand scorpion, which had suffered a huge setback, struggled painfully in place.
Qin Chuan stabbed down with a sword, ending the life of this poor little animal. Turning the alloy short sword in his hand, it was very easy, Qin Chuan chose this short sword instead of a lighter dagger because his strength had increased a lot due to his vitality, and a lighter dagger was not as good as a short sword that could swing freely.
Looking at this sand scorpion, Qin Chuan suddenly felt that he should let it exert its residual heat for the last time.
After the alloy short sword knocked open the poison sac of the poison hook, Qin Chuan smeared all the short arrow metal arrow tips used in the ten short crossbows with the venom in the poison sac.
Looking at the purple color on the tip of the metal arrow, Qin Chuan's heart was much more stable.
If you look closely at the place where the sand scorpion emerged, you can also find a white bone mass.
Qin Chuan ran over to clean up the layer of sand on it, only to find that it turned out to be a whole corpse.
The bones were not large, they should be in their teens from the bones, and the ribs near the heart had been cut by a sharp object. Although there is only one white bone left, combined with the Death Trial of the Reaper Base, it is not difficult to guess that this person has also participated in the Death Trial. It's just that he was unfortunate and was killed by someone who cut into his chest with a sharp weapon.
Qin Chuan now found that the bones of the corpse would naturally be analyzed, thanks to the white sand of the Blood Sea team, who loved to dissect corpses, and often let a group of newcomers observe his dissection, and in the long run, this knowledge was naturally imprinted in the minds of newcomers like Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan also found a clump of milky white scorpion eggs in the white bone skull, this kind of sand scorpion actually lived in the head of the corpse to lay eggs.
At the same time, Qin Chuan became vigilant, since this is the place where the Blood Skeleton conducts the Death Trial when training the killer, then the corpse bones can be few, and the number of this sand scorpion must be quite a lot.
A sand scorpion did not pose the slightest threat to Qin Chuan, but he was afraid that when Qin Chuan was lax, he would come with a poisonous hook or run into a group of sand scorpions.
Thinking about these pictures, Qin Chuan is creepy, so it's better not to let your guard down.
Arrived at this island early in the morning, it was close to noon, the sun was scorching, the temperature of this desertified island actually rose again, Qin Chuan walked not far is sweating, if you want not to be dehydrated and fall down, you can only drink a sip of water from time to time, in just half a day, Qin Chuan consumed the water consumption that was originally planned for a day.
Qin Chuan didn't dare to do too strenuous movements now, for fear that a strenuous exercise would cause more sweat.
Not far away, you can see a patch of vegetation, and there is only one or two shades under the trees that are not too tall.
Qin Chuan seemed to have seen the Divine Pure Land, the shade of the trees, the shade of the trees, finally no longer had to be poisoned by the sun.
Qin Chuan, who was full of strength, trotted all the way over, but there was a huge difference from the scene Qin Chuan had in mind.
It was supposed to be harmonious and beautiful under the shade of the tree, but now a new person is lying.
There was no blood on the ground, but the man was too close to death.
Qin Chuan took a closer look and found that there were snake bite marks on this person's wrist, his blue face was full of unwilling expressions, and the pupils in his eyes that were unable to open were full of despair, and he never thought that he would die here.
His metal bracelet was still there, with his code name "51" on it, and Qin Chuan was sure that he had died of snake venom.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound in his abdomen, Qin Chuan looked carefully, and found that his belly was slightly bulging, and his mouth was still a little unnaturally open.
Qin Chuan retched for a long time when he saw this scene, if nothing else, the deadly poisonous snake had almost burrowed into the belly of the dead newcomer.
First the sand scorpion inhabited human bones, and then there was this unknown poisonous snake, Qin Chuan suddenly discovered that this Death Trial not only needed to survive from other people, but also needed to survive at the hands of these "killers" on the island.
Qin Chuan took off this person's metal bracelet with an alloy short sword and put it away, this can be regarded as a bracelet for nothing, but he didn't know that the bracelet he collected could get the above reward in the end, Qin Chuan had some expectations.
The dead man's backpack was also picked up by Qin Chuan, but fortunately, the things inside were still intact, and Qin Chuan did not take the food away, but brought the water with him.
This place can go a day without food, but not without water for a day, otherwise it may not last until the last twenty people even if there is no fighting.
From time to time, there was a sound in the abdomen of the dead man that seemed to be gnawing on internal organs, and Qin Chuan, who had obtained a ring and supplies for nothing, did not want to stay in the shade of this tree for a moment.
Qinchuan, who left, entered the yellow sand area again, and this time Qinchuan finally didn't have to save water too much, and the reserves of fresh water were especially sufficient.
But after walking for a while, Qin Chuan ran into someone again.
From a distance, it was a person lying on the ground, and the figure was still a female newcomer.
Could it be that this has been picked up for nothing again?
With suspicion, Qin Chuan approached to check.
I saw that the one lying on the ground covered with yellow sand was indeed a female newcomer, and the metal bracelet on her wrist was No. 9. With black crescent eyebrows and big eyes on her slightly delicate little face, she is now a beauty embryo, and she will be a beautiful woman when she grows up.
The big thing is that a sand scorpion smaller than a fist is stuck in the side of an alloy dagger, and this beautiful embryo lying on the ground is dying, her face is pale, her ankle is opened, and the black blood seeps down her ankle into the sand.
Good guy, this is the sand scorpion stung and then bled to poison.
However, looking at the current appearance of this beautiful embryo, eighty percent of the poison of this sand scorpion is too violent, even if she put a lot of blood to stop the spread of the poison, but the lack of blood and water in the scorching sun and high temperature has caused her to have no strength to move now.
This beauty embryo also saw Qin Chuan approaching, opened her thirsty and smoking throat, and said hoarsely: "Help...... Help me. ”
