Esther slowly approached the mission site, a seemingly unusually old tree hollow.
The huge trunk has reached a terrifying diameter of ten meters, and the canopy of the tree seems to be as far as the eye can see, and the black hollow of the tree is eerie and chilling.
Esther took a deep breath and leaned out a glimpse of the Force into the dark hole as the Recon Spider swung its eight metal arthropods into the tree hole.
"What the hell!"
East's face changed drastically, and in his Force perception, the hole in the tree was a hundred meters deep, and at the bottom was densely crawled with jungle pythons, and these formidable big guys almost blocked the entire entrance. In such a small environment, Esther couldn't think of any way he could take thirty seconds with him.
"The final hurdle can't be so hard. Esther thought slowly, trying to remember how the young men had stepped out of the metal cube, the image in his mind flickering until it was fixed on a sturdy teenager.
The boy was dressed in a linen-colored junior uniform, and the loose style of clothing looked unusually comfortable. However, Esther noticed that there were no signs of battle on the young man's clothes, and not only him, but also the clothes on the other young disciples were also a little too clean.
Reflecting on his encounter in the jungle, Esther believed that even if these young men were so talented, it was impossible not to see any signs of battle.
In other words, the environment I am in now is still not real. Esther crouched down and touched the ground gently, "But what does it really feel like?"
Suddenly, Esther remembered the mechanical bug in Yankee's hand, and it dawned on him that he began to use the Force to examine his body.
"Mr. Yankee, it looks like your phantom worm is about to be spotted. Ezio said with a smile.
"Just kidding, my Phantom Worm doesn't have a hero, eleven or two can't be seen through at all. Yang Ji narrowed his little eyes and said disdainfully, "If this little guy can find out, I ......" Yang Ji didn't finish his words, his small eyes stared at the virtual screen in front of him tightly, he opened his mouth wide, and couldn't say a word for a while.
Because in the virtual screen, East raised his hand and fiddled with a mechanical bug in his palm, which was the phantom bug that Yang Gene was proud of......
"The structure is very precise, although I don't know what the specific principle is for the time being, anyway, let's find out one by one first. "Esther couldn't have seen anything strange in his body. But when he mobilized the Force to examine his body, the heart that seemed to be dormant suddenly vibrate.
Knowing this, Esther has the ability to use the Force to spy on the secrets of his body!
It's a heart, but it's more like a strange creature wrapped in a metal shell. The glittering black heart was covered with patchwork of metal scales, and countless thin metal wires protruded from the heart to connect with other organs and blood vessels in the chest.
The heart beats extremely slowly, but each beat seems to have endless power. When Esther tried to find the mechanical bug in his body, the strange metal heart suddenly vibrated and several metal threads poked out of the metal threads and pierced into Esther's veins.
Esther felt an itch, and saw that the palm of his right hand suddenly cracked, and one after another mechanical bugs were pushed out along with the blood.
Then the wound stopped bleeding under the purple-gold force, and it was believed that it would not be long before the wound would heal completely.
Esther was a little stunned, he could feel his metal heart fall silent again, apparently the mechanical bug had invaded its territory, and he was very disgusted by the outsider's appearance of the metal heart.
Thinking of this, Est couldn't help but smile, could it be that this metal heart still had its own consciousness. He shook his head, shook off the jumbled thoughts in his head, and crouched down and took the mechanical bug in his hand.
At this moment, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly, and the dense jungle collapsed in an instant, revealing the milky white metal walls around it. Esther put away the mechanical bugs, then looked at the monitor on the metal wall and said loudly, "Is my test complete?"
Yankee snorted with a gloomy face at this moment, and opened the metal cube and released Easter.
Ezio laughed and stepped forward, but was dismissed from hugging each other under East's wary gaze.
"How's it going, Mr. Yankee, what's Easter's doing?" said Ezio, but his eyes were full of provocation as he looked at Natasha on the side.
"It's just an opportunistic one. Natasha said coldly, although her tone was still stiff, but she didn't have the confidence she had when she first came.
Yang Ji couldn't help frowning, and he rubbed his bare head vigorously: "Let's get a passing grade!"
"What? just a pass?" asked Ezio, puzzled.
Yanji said angrily: "Of course, as Natasha said, the purpose of the test is to test the true combat power of the young disciples. But what did this little guy do, skip the level that occupies the largest score directly. If you didn't bring him, I'd just kick him out. ”
Ezio couldn't help but glance at Esther with some annoyance, and he nodded helplessly: "Okay, a pass is a pass." ”
"Little one, there are no shortcuts in the world of the Force, and you relied on your cleverness to get through this today, so what about after that?" Yankee said, "I think you should think about it." ”
East smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm as the sun in winter: "Mr. Yankee, thank you for the reminder. Master Ezio has always taught me to follow the will of the Force. And just now, it was the Force that taught me to think and see things for what they are. I don't think that's opportunistic. ”
Yang Ji was stunned for a moment, and for a while he was speechless by Easter's words, he rubbed his bald head again, and then said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you can pass the test this time." Now that you are qualified to become a young disciple, you will have a long spiritual life ahead. Yankee said, looking at all the young disciples in the hall, "It's up to you to do the rest." Then you will have three days of recuperation, after which you will leave here for the first place of practice. There will be a dedicated teacher who will be in charge of your practice and your life. Alright, get your identity chip from me, which will be your only identity credential in the shadows. ”
The young apprentices took the identity chip from Yankee's hand in turn and placed it in the processor on his wrist.
"Disband, you can take a walk around the headquarters, but keep in mind that you are not eligible to enter the first three regions, and the remaining four regions are free for you to move around. Saying this, Yanji suddenly showed a strange smile, "But I guess you don't want to see me again, right?" ”
The feeling of the phantom worm burrowing into their bodies made the young disciples shudder. At this moment, the tall young man asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Yangji, what about the phantom worms in our body?"
"Don't worry, the Phantom Worm will be out of your body after three days, but it will be a little painful by then. Yanji couldn't help but laugh happily when he said this, "It's really just a little painful, haha." ”
The faces of the young disciples all changed, and they all left the place quickly. Naga stood quietly behind Natasha, looking at Esther with a slightly curious gaze.
"Let's go, little Naga, I'll take you to the headquarters. Pick up some items by the way. Natasha said as she walked.
"But Mr. Yankee warned us not to go to the trading area. Naga's voice was a little cold, but it was unusually nice.
"Hmph, with me, who dares to talk nonsense. ”
Seeing the two of them walk out of the hall, Esther asked his own question, "This score is important?"
"For you, it's important. Ezio explained, "This score will count towards your base score, and in the first stage of your practice, you will be given equipment and supplies according to your base score. So it's important for you, a newcomer who has been exposed to the Force for less than ten days. ”
"What?" Yankee suddenly exclaimed, and Ezio and Esther looked at the old man in surprise, "You said that this little guy didn't have enough access to the Force...... Less than ten days?"
"If you do the math, it's six or seven days. Ezio smiled and said, "That's why I said you gave you too low a score." ”
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" said Yang Ji with a little annoyance, "If the distance is separated because of the initial supplies, isn't it a waste of such a good seedling?"
Ezio spread his hands helplessly: "But your identity chip has been made, and it can't be changed, so it's the only way." ”
Esther suddenly smiled, he looked at Yankee and said, "Mr. Yankee, as compensation for your error in judgment, can I make some additional requests?"
Yang Ji was stunned for a moment, and then squinted at Easter: "Little guy, your tone is not small, dare to ask my old man for compensation?"
"You admitted it yourself, isn't it your mistake?" Esther looked at the other with a sincere expression, a serious look in his pale golden eyes.
Ezio couldn't help but smile: "That's right, sir, you should always show something, do you want to see such a good seedling delayed?"
"Well, what do you want?"
"My request is simple. Esther suddenly smiled, the same as the one he had when he was peddling the Scout Spider, "I want to get the Phantom Worm's technology!"
