Volume 1 Chapter 73 Test of Strength
Everyone turned their heads sharply to see that in front of them was a lush mountain forest.
"This mountain forest is the place where you will be assessed this time, everyone comes to receive a dry food and weapons, it is eleven o'clock now, and the assessment will end by this time tomorrow, when all the students will return here to count the results. ”
Zhu Shan said coldly.
Only then did the teenagers recover from their previous excitement, and one by one they stepped forward to receive weapons and dry food.
In the process of receiving, Zhu Shan picked up a red bamboo tube-shaped thing and said: "Everyone remember, this is a signal flare, if you encounter danger in the process of assessment, or are injured and unable to continue the assessment, launch this signal flare, our staff will immediately rush to your side, but once the signal flare is launched, it also means that the assessment is over." ”
"This field test assessment lasts for one day, you forty-four would-be martial artists have to enter the deep mountains to fight with one-star demon beasts, remember, the field test is extremely dangerous, everything is for your safety, don't be reckless, as long as you kill a one-star demon beast, you can pass the assessment." In addition, the top three also have additional rewards from our Warrior Alliance, or a self-level cheat, or a treasure sword, or a pill, which can be regarded as a small surprise for you. ”
"Okay, now I announce that the second round of field testing of this quasi-martial artist actual combat assessment will start now!"
With Zhu Shan's shout, many teenagers who participated in the assessment swept into the jungle in groups of three or five.
"Whoa!"
The mountains and forests are dense, and the scorching sun pours down from the sky, steaming and roasting the earth, and a gust of wind blows, and the leaves rattle like waves.
In the barren mountains and forests, almost all the teenagers from childhood to adulthood are out of the new acropolis for the first time, and their hearts are extremely vigilant, and they slowly disperse.
Lin Xiao followed the crowd, walked towards the mountain without hurry, looking back at the foot of the mountain, Lin Xiao could see that there were soldiers patrolling at the foot of the entire mountain range every other distance, obviously afraid that there would be other powerful demon beasts from the outside world entering the assessment area.
Lin Xiao walked along the mountain road, looked up, and saw that most of the would-be martial artists chose to go into the mountain in groups of two or three, after all, for them who had not yet opened up the Yuan Pool, it was indeed more difficult for them to deal with a one-star demon beast alone.
Several teenagers who participated in the assessment with Lin Xiao but did not find a companion followed Lin Xiao, looking at Lin Xiao's hesitant expression, as if they wanted to say something to him.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao felt a pair of fierce eyes looking at him.
"Wu Yiwen. ”
Lin Xiao suddenly turned his head to look, and saw Wu Yiwen, who was dressed in a strong suit, standing not far away, looking at Lin Xiao with fierce eyes.
"Lin Xiao, this time in the field assessment, I will definitely not lose to you. ”
Wu Yiwen spoke indifferently, and then turned around and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Lin Xiao smiled dumbly, but he didn't respond, he hadn't taken Wu Yiwen to heart at all, in the eyes of others, Wu Yiwen was a talented young genius, but in Lin Xiao's opinion, the other party was nothing, and Lin Xiao didn't have time to fight with him for anything.
A faint scent of women came.
Lin Xiao's heart sank, and he turned his head to look to the side, and a girl in a white dress appeared beside him silently.
Lin Xiao was stunned, it was actually Lu Xue.
Lu Xue smiled at the corner of her mouth, with two shallow dimples on her fair face, and said with a seemingly casual smile: "Lin Xiao, you don't want to go up the mountain alone, do you?
Several teenagers on the side were stupid, they didn't expect that Lu Xue, who was like a fairy in their eyes, would take the initiative to ask to go with Lin Xiao, and they were all jealous and envious in their hearts
, I can't wait to turn myself and Lin Xiao upside down.
"Sorry, not interested. ”
Lin Xiao's answer surprised these teenagers, and after saying this, Lin Xiao's speed suddenly surged, and he disappeared into the mountains and forests in a few clicks.
A trace of consternation flashed silently on Lu Xue's face, and she immediately bit her teeth, obviously not expecting Lin Xiao to refuse her invitation so neatly.
"Hmph!" Lu Xue snorted, her eyes hateful, and her nose slightly open, as if the little girl's beloved thing had been robbed.
"Lu Xue, this mountain forest is too dangerous, why don't we go together, and the first demon beast you kill will be yours when the time comes." Several teenagers grimaced.
"Not interested!"
Lu Xue spoke indifferently, her expression returned to calm, she didn't look at a few people, and her figure disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few traumatized teenagers.
More than forty would-be martial artists who had been assessed threw themselves into this mountain forest like birds returning to their nests, as if a little splash had been splashed on the surface of the lake, and the trace disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xiao cautiously walked forward in the mountains and forests, always paying attention to the movements around him.
"This field assessment is not only a simple assessment, but also a test of courage, there is only the weakest one-star demon beast in the entire mountain forest, where will there be such a good opportunity to exercise in the future. ”
It was a difficult assessment for the rest of the would-be martial artists, but it was a rare opportunity for Lin Xiao to cultivate, so Lin Xiao was reluctant to go with others.
"Smack!"
In the distance, a fiery red streamer rose into the sky, forming a brilliant firework in the sky.
"This is the second one to fire a flare. Lin Xiao shook his head, not paying attention to the movement in the distance, but focusing his attention on the surroundings.
"Huh?" As he slowly sneaked in, Lin Xiao suddenly heard a subtle sound of shrubs stirring, which was particularly clear in the sound of the breeze blowing the leaves.
Lin Xiaolian looked up and saw a giant hound about one meter and five meters high, covered with barb-like black burrs, coming out of the bushes and moving aimlessly.
"Shadow Hound. Lin Xiao's gaze froze, and his eyes bloomed: "My first prey is you, by the way, let's also experiment, how strong my strength is now." ”
Lin Xiao emerged from behind the rock and stood in front of the Shadow Hound.
"Roar!"
The Shadow Hound stared at Lin Xiao not far away with a pair of tyrannical eyes, a low roar in his mouth, his limbs kicked violently on the ground, the smoke and dust dispersed, and the Shadow Hound turned into a black streamer and rushed towards Lin Xiao like lightning.
"So fast!" Lin Xiao's pupils contracted suddenly like needletips, his muscles tightened, and the whole person was completely immersed in the atmosphere of battle, his eyes stared at the Shadow Hound that was rushing quickly, the Yuan Pool in his body rotated, and a trace of Yuan Force spread from it to Lin Xiao's limbs.
"Whoosh!"
The Shadow Hound came to Lin Xiao in the blink of an eye, and in a low roar, his hind legs kicked hard, and his body jumped up violently, and it actually increased its original speed by nearly half, and pounced on Lin Xiao like an arrow off the string, its eyes were crazy, its hideous sharp teeth opened, and it was desperate to bite Lin Xiao's throat.
"Whew!" At the moment when the Shadow Hound pounced, Lin Xiao's figure suddenly dodged, and the Shadowless Floating Trick quietly unleashed, flashing to the side of the Shadow Hound like a wisp of green smoke, the Shadow Hound couldn't change its body shape in the pounce, and could only quickly pounce from Lin Xiao's side.
At this moment of lightning, a cold glow suddenly erupted in Lin Xiao's eyes, and his right hand, which was pressed on the scabbard, suddenly pulled out the knife from the sheath.
Slashing Moon!
Boom!
A cold light burst out from Lin Xiao's right hand, slicing through the Shadow Hound's neck like lightning.
Burst!
The head of the Shadow Hound that swept past Lin Xiao at high speed suddenly rose into the sky, splitting in half at the neck, and blood spurted frantically from the broken neck, spilling all over the ground. The Shadow Hound that rushed through at a speed had been pounced for several meters before falling, and after two stiff convulsions on the ground, it was completely silent.
"Whew!"
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, and his right hand holding the steel knife did not move at all.
Lin Xiao, who had experienced countless life-and-death battles under control of the Drill Armor clone, had now reached an extremely calm state of mind, and he would not have the slightest fluctuation because of killing a one-star demon beast.
It is extremely difficult for other would-be martial artists, and it may take a battle of life and death to determine the outcome of the battle, but it is very easy for Lin Xiao, who has advanced to the True Martial Artist Turn.
"I played the knife very well just now, and the time was also very accurate, the completion reached seventy percent, and the moment of the knife was unprecedentedly enjoyable, and I really need to fight to better play my potential. Lin Xiao slowly cut off the Shadow Hound's nose and put it into the baggage he carried with him, and said silently in his heart.
Ordinary martial artists face battles, there will always be such and such situations, many people can only exert a few percent of their own strength when they are nervous, but Lin Xiao is different, the more dangerous the battle, the calmer his heart will be, and his mind will be more empty than ever, and the better he will play, this is not only because of Lin Xiao's drilling armor clone, but also because of his character in his previous life who loved rock climbing and liked extreme challenges.
"But although I easily killed this Shadow Hound just now, it's just because my own strength has reached a turn, if I am still a quasi-martial artist now, I'm afraid it will be a little dangerous just now, don't be frightened when you encounter things in the future, and be prepared for all kinds of accidents." ”
Before, at the moment when the Shadow Hound pounced on the speed surged, Lin Xiao was still slightly taken aback, and the operation of the Yuan Force in his body was also affected a little, otherwise he would have played better, at this moment, Lin Xiao couldn't help but remind himself silently in his heart.
"This is the first one!"
Lin Xiao put away the steel knife and dived into the mountain forest again.
......
Time passed little by little, and the sun gradually sank in the west and disappeared at the end of the west.
The assessment continues, and at night, the mountains and forests will become extremely dangerous, which is also the time when the would-be martial artists are eliminated the most.
In the whole afternoon, there were only six trainees who fired signal flares to complete the assessment, but at night, I am afraid that nearly 80 percent of the would-be martial artists will end the assessment, which has been a practice in field tests for countless years.
The night was gloomy, when Lin Xiao and many other would-be martial artists were hunting and assessing in the mountains and forests.
At the foot of the mountain.
A soldier in alloy armor suddenly looked up at a place in the mountains and forests, and there was a strange light in his eyes.
He looked around vigilantly, his expression was extremely strange, and then his body turned vertical, like a ghost, silently submerged into the mountains and forests, and swept towards the place where many would-be martial artists were assessed.
