If the lion-headed dog is just a fierce beast that is difficult to defeat for the hunters, the mercenaries' sideways kick can make the hunters fall into an embarrassing situation of having wolves and tigers in front of them, not only to carefully customize the hunting plan, but also to beware of being secretly blackened, at best, in case of ambush by mercenaries, if you are lucky, you may hand over the counting cards on your body and save your life, and if you are unlucky, you will encounter some murderous thugs, and even your life will be put into it.

"So you're saying that we should first unite with people we know as much as possible, so that it will be safer whether it's hunting or watching around?" Zhou Ming asked.

"It would be nice if it could be so simple to come together, I always felt that things would not be so simple. Luo Fulei shook his head, "But the alliance is the right proposition, if the three of us can cooperate, then the ordinary mercenaries should not think of taking advantage of us." ”

The restaurant where Zhou Ming and the others had breakfast had a cooperative relationship with the Lei Ba business group, of course, Luo Dashao didn't have to spend money to eat here, and the three of them who had eaten and drunk left the restaurant and set off to the east of the city.

After all, the enrollment of the Star Pole Royal Academy is a big deal, so near the East City Gate, the Silver Moon Empire has very thoughtfully set aside a vacant space for apprentices, mentors and long-haired mammoths to rest, and the Silver Moon City Hunter Guild has also specially prepared drinks and arranged waiters, of course, this time the waiter is not played by the vice president of the Star Pole Royal Academy.

Originally, the convoy of the Star Pole Royal Academy was going to set off at noon, but it was only ten o'clock, and all the members of the non-combat professions, including material appraisers and medical doctors, who had passed the first assessment, had all arrived, so the mentors began to organize everyone to board the car according to their professions, and then, the long-haired mammoth convoy with a bit of momentum set off and began to move towards the direction of the Star Pole Empire.

Zhou Ming saw Lan Xiaoyu's figure in the team of material appraisers, but Lan Xiaoyu obviously didn't take him seriously, glanced at Luo Fulei, and got into the car. Leaving Zhou Mingwu puzzled, why these two people are obviously boyfriend and girlfriend, but they don't seem to be close?

Before leaving Silver Moon City, Zhou Ming wrote to inform his mother of what had happened in the past few days, and told his mother about his itinerary, although he had not received a reply, but at least he could make his mother feel at ease, and he also wanted to ask his mother if he knew this mysterious person who had asked him strange questions, helped him pass the assessment, and taught himself a very strange set of footwork.

The journey from Silver Moon City to the Star Pole Empire is very long, after all, the long-haired mammoth is not a fierce beast that is known for its speed, it took a week, Zhou Ming and others rushed to the site of the retest, an abandoned old city, it is said that it was occupied by fierce beasts in a beast tide a few decades ago, and few people in the city survived, but after all, this city is too deep into the human empire, and the fierce beasts left in the city after the fierce beast tide receded were completely isolated, and the number of fierce beasts in the city has become smaller and smaller over the years, until some time ago, the Star Pole Royal Academy sent a large number of hunters to clean up the fierce beasts in this old city, and this became the venue for this assessment。

The mottled and rusted city gates, the walls covered with vines, and even a huge gap in the city wall, all of which proved how terrifying the beast tide was back then, due to the different assessment methods, only the hunters and mercenaries came here, and it was all the hunters and mercenaries from the seventeen countries in the entire northeast territory who passed the first assessment.

"Hunters and mercenaries from seventeen countries, first of all, congratulations on passing the first assessment of the Star Pole Royal Academy, it can be said that those who can pass the assessment are all strong people in the future who have the possibility of stepping into the ground level, but what we need is not empty potential students, now the second assessment, you have to prove that you have worked hard to become stronger before, the mission objectives have been explained to you by the accompanying mentors, and then the lottery will be held, and through the lottery to decide which of the twelve entrances you will enter from this abandoned city, there will be a fifteen-minute waiting interval between the two people who enter from the same entrance, The purpose is to let everyone completely disperse, and remind you that entering the city is a matter of life and death, if you think that your strength is not enough, you can abstain now, we will arrange a long-haired mammoth car to send you back to your country, and if you can't hold on in the city, you can also come out from any of the twelve entrances and exits to seek help from the mentor, but once you get out of the city gate, it is also regarded as abstaining, if there is no problem, the students who decide to enter the city and give it a go can go to the work on your right hand to draw lots and sign the life and death certificate。 ”

At this time, many hunters and mercenaries began to retreat, the danger in the city is self-evident, and the assessment time of this retest is five days, relying on personal ability to survive alone for five days in such a dangerous city, and to get the counting card on the neck of the lion-headed dog as much as possible, many hunters and mercenaries began to reconsider their strength, and then, silently, chose to quit.

Of course, Zhou Ming Long Xiaocheng and Luo Fulei could not be found in the crowd who withdrew, Long Xiaocheng was an official hunter, the lion-headed dog was not a big threat to him, and Luo Fulei relied on the huge advantage in weapons, as long as he stabbed him once or twice, the lion-headed dog would be paralyzed by the powerful current that burst out of the thunder crystal, even if he couldn't kill, it was completely too late to pick up the counting card and escape, as for Zhou Ming, he finally realized why Hong Menglong chose to teach him that magical set of footwork on the last day before Zhou Ming came to participate in the retest, using this footwork, whether it is close or far away from the lion-headed dog, the lion-headed dog will definitely be played around, even if, Zhou Ming is now just extremely unskilled in imitating the movements in footwork.

Signed the certificate of life and death, the staff also issued a small ownerless space spar to each student participating in the re-examination, which was enough for the five days of dry food and fresh water, and the space in it could be used to store counting cards, of course, students were not allowed to give the space spar a drop of blood to recognize the owner, because these space spars had to be recovered after the assessment, once it was accidentally let recognize the owner, then it would have to be compensated according to the price, after all, the space spar is still quite valuable.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ming and the three of them drew three different starting points, and the distance was not close, and in the end they could only fight separately, and the three of them did not complain about anything, and the most important thing is that if they got two points of counting cards, how would the three of them divide at that time?

Zhou Ming is the third candidate in this group to step into the abandoned city, and after entering the city, Zhou Ming, like the first two candidates, hid his whereabouts at the first time to prevent the hunters or mercenaries who entered the city next from ambushing him.

Zhou Ming first cruising around the periphery of the city, whether it is this kind of abandoned city or the forest, powerful fierce beasts will definitely occupy a place close to the core, Zhou Ming must first determine the strength of the lion-headed dog, and then decide where he wants to go deep into this city.

Soon after, Zhou Ming met his first opponent, the lone lion-headed dog Zhou Ming was still very confident that he would retreat with his whole body, and he could also use it to test how strong his newly learned footwork was.

Moving forward cautiously, Zhou Ming still hoped to carry out a sneak attack to directly snatch the counting card on the lion's neck, and then retreat with one blow, escaping through the advantage of footwork.

However, the place where he is now is a main street that used to be, the street is very wide, and there is no cover to cover, so Zhou Ming can only jump out from behind a building next to the street and attack the lion-headed dog head-on.

Zhou Ming's knife went straight to the side of the lion's neck and cut it, not to pursue a one-hit kill, but to pick the counting card on the lion's neck, the lion's head will not think so, the neck is the weakness of many fierce beasts, of course the lion-headed dog will not allow Zhou Ming to stab the knife to his neck like this, roared, the lion-headed dog directly raised his front paws and pounced on Zhou Ming, the advantage of size made Zhou Ming's knife not yet touch the lion-headed dog's claws could press Zhou Ming to the ground.

Compared with the killer viper that Zhou Ming faced before, the lion-headed dog is not a fierce beast known for its speed, but on the other hand, the strength of the lion-headed dog Zhou Ming will never dare to try, the same way, another major advantage of the lion-headed dog is that it has flexible front paws, or pounce or scratch or shoot, the variety of attack types makes many hunters very embarrassed, it can be said that it is a typical fierce beast with strong offense and weak defense.

Zhou Ming retracted the forward stabbing knife, his body flexibly shifted to the side, and used the side jump to avoid the front paws of the lion-headed dog, although it has not yet reached Hong Menglong's slow disease, but if there are other people around Zhou Ming at this time, then they will definitely feel that Zhou Ming's dodge action is very weird no matter how you look at it, and in fact, this is the footwork that Zhou Ming can use at present, compared to Hong Menglong's ability to maintain this state in the movement for an afternoon, Zhou Ming can only hold on for less than thirty seconds now, and the effect of using it is also very different.

However, Hong Menglong's footwork that can make the ground-level fierce beasts have no rut, the difficulty can be imagined, Zhou Ming can practice like this, and it is no problem to dodge the attacks of these lower-level one- and two-star fierce beasts in these thirty seconds.

Now that the footwork has been opened, Zhou Ming must end the battle in these thirty seconds, once the footwork cannot continue and he is still fighting with the lion-headed dog, Zhou Ming will be very dangerous, in the end, he is only a hunter apprentice.

"The first counting card, I'm going to condemn you!"
