Jiangcheng Training Ground.

A wide valley flanked by jagged cliffs dotted with a few jagged old trees and shrubs, and dark green moss faintly visible between the crevices of the rocks.

After Qin Xiaotian followed Yan Yan into the training ground, the other party directly took him to take a 'tailwind' to fly for more than two hours, and then landed at the designated place.

Yan Yan said to Qin Xiaotian, "I'll go ahead to explore the way, you are here, don't move." ’

Then he left Qin Xiaotian here alone.

"It's been half an hour."

After Qin Xiaotian entered here, he had been on high alert, holding the Ghost Scythe in his hand to maintain a fighting state, and at the same time, his gaze quickly searched the surroundings.

But after searching for a while, he didn't even see the shadow of a pioneer mantis.

I don't know why Yan Yan took him to parachute here.

Kill the pioneer mantis, it doesn't seem necessary to run so far.

Although the tailwind is cheap, two people also need 3,000 oceans.

Qin Xiaotian sighed in distress.

He can't go back now, even if he wants to.

The plane is more than two hours away, and it is seven or eight hundred kilometers away from the location where the portal is placed at the training ground.

With just one black iron level LV2, he didn't have the courage to cross the forest that far away.

Being in an unfamiliar environment.

It's a remote place with few people.

If it weren't for the cliffs on both sides, he only needed to be vigilant in two directions, and he wouldn't dare to stand here alone.

In the silence, another ten minutes passed.

Just when Qin Xiaotianhu was suspicious, he was about to go to the direction where Yan Yan left.

A 'rustling' sound suddenly came.

Qin Xiaotian's face was solemn, and he stared closely at the direction where the voice came.

I saw a pioneer praying mantis rushing out of the dense jungle outside the valley in a panic.

There was a distance of more than two hundred meters from Qin Xiaotian, and the other party rushed over in a daze, bringing a burst of dust.

"It's ..... Delivery? ”

Qin Xiaotian scratched his head, and just as the vanguard mantis was about to approach him, he suddenly moved under his feet, and the sickle in his hand was slightly on one side, without exerting any force.

The sharp edge of the knife was already attached to the hideous mouthparts of the vanguard mantis, splitting his head in two.

Boom!

A dull sound sounded, and under the impact of inertia, the corpse of the pioneer mantis slammed diagonally into the pile of rocks on the side of the valley.

Qin Xiaotian turned his head and glanced at it.

The body of a mechanical organism, which is made of alloy as a whole, has become an indispensable building material in human production and life after a hundred years of development.

It's a pity, because there are so many types and numbers of mechanical creatures.

Therefore, such materials are of limited value.

The Pioneer Mantis body is sold as a black iron-grade alloy material, and it costs 100 yuan per ton.

An adult pioneer mantis weighs only three or four hundred kilograms, and it takes two or three to make up a ton.

It's fine if it's close to the teleportation plaza.

But here the words.

Eh....

Qin Xiaotian kicked the corpse of the pioneer mantis in disgust.

That's it.

It's not enough for shipping.

"It stands to reason that it should be in groups of three or five!"

Qin Xiaotian raised his eyes and looked at the valley mouth.

Pioneer praying mantis are social creatures and rarely act alone.

After all, two can reproduce!

However.

didn't let Qin Xiaotian wait for a long time, only two minutes passed.

In the same direction, another pioneer mantis rushed over.

Unlike the previous ones, there were two of them rushing over this time.

Equally panicked.

It's as if there's something terrible behind the ass driving them away.

Qin Xiaotian didn't stand in place this time, waiting for the other party to rush over, but took the initiative to rush forward with a sickle.

"It's not difficult at all!"

With the turn of his wrist, Qin Xiaotian easily harvested the two praying mantises.

Originally, in the state of being bare-handed, he relied on 403 heavy artillery as a shield, and he could stand tall in the siege of eight or nine vanguard mantises.

Now after Yan Yan's training...

... Bah......

After Yan Yan's training, he was holding a melee weapon in his hand.

These little minions, Qin Xiaotian didn't pay attention to them at all.

"However, after killing these mechanical creatures, the mecha source parts clearly felt that the concentration of source force in the air became higher!"

Qin Xiaotian stretched out his hand and grasped the air.

As the two Pioneer Mantis were harvested, after they died, the source power attached to their bodies also flourished.

caused the concentration of source force around his corpse to soar instantly.

However, this concentration is also decreasing dramatically over time and distance.

Qin Xiaotian had calculated that after the death of a pioneer mantis, within ten minutes, with the corpse as the center, the concentration of source force within a radius of thirty meters increased significantly.

In this range, you can accelerate the refining of mecha source parts.

After exceeding this time and range, the concentration of source power is almost the same as that in the secret realm.

Of course, not only the Pioneer Mantis, but also other Black Iron Class creatures, although there are differences, the overall error is not large.

"If there were hundreds or thousands of pioneer mantises, I wouldn't be able to promote LV3 on the spot.".

Stand still and let the mech absorb the free source force in the air.

It's still like this, and it's fast to cultivate.

During the few days in the basement, the source force in the body did not move at all, and there was no feeling of growth at all.

The source parts of the mecha are not tempered and polished by the source force, and they are all in the state they were in a few days ago.

Now that he had just killed the three-headed Pioneer Mantis, this free source power had not been absorbed by the mecha, and Qin Xiaotian had already noticed that the strength of the mecha had increased slightly.

Although the improvement is very small, not even a mosquito leg, but it can be perceived.

"If only it could be directly digitized like playing a game!" Qin Xiaotian is a little insignificant;

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

This is reality, not a game.

You can't treat it with game-like thinking, otherwise you will pay for your life.

This thing can be said to be the fairest.

Whether rich or poor, there is only one for everyone.

Soon, before the source force concentration dissipated, Qin Xiaotian's mecha completed the source force absorption.

Sweep away the source power within the scope of the space.

The concentration of source force decreases and returns to the average level of the secret realm.

Sand, rustling、、、

Before Qin Xiaotian could be idle, on the other side of the valley, four pioneer mantis rushed out.

At this time, no matter how confused Qin Xiaotian was, he could guess that this was Yan Yan's handiwork.

From 1 to 2 and from 2 to 4.

So regular.

At first glance, Yan Yan was tempting and controlling it over there.

Yan Yan's meaning, Qin Xiaotian can understand it, these hors d'oeuvres are for himself to warm up.

Qin Xiaotian put away his contemptuous attitude at the moment and focused seriously.

He thought about it for a moment, and finally took a defensive stance, leaning his back against the cliff on one side, and staring at the four vanguard mantis that rushed over.

In the case of not knowing how many praying mantis Yan Yan will eventually put over.

Qin Xiaotian didn't dare to rush and kill wantonly.

Now it's a siege war, not a siege war, and he doesn't need to fight his way out of the siege.

With the least source force, the longest time is the best solution.

The brainless rush is indeed cool enough.

But after all, reckless behavior,

That will only speed up the depletion of source energy in the body.

This unnecessary waste, on the battlefield, is fatal.

"Then let's see how long I can hold out today!"

Qin Xiaotian muttered, through the mecha's field of vision, tightly locked the four charging praying mantises, slightly adjusted his body posture, and kept the surrounding terrain in mind, ensuring that when he needed to use it, he could use it at any time.

One second,

Two seconds,

The third second!

At a distance of hundreds of meters, in the sprint state, in just three seconds, the Pioneer Mantis was already close to Qin Xiaotian.

Qin Xiaotian's body squatted suddenly.

The whole person quickly entered the attack state, and there was no need to charge up at all, and the ghost scythe in his hand turned into a black lightning bolt with a 'boom' sound of breaking through the air, instantly slicing through one of the praying mantises, splitting it in half.

At the same time, his waist was strangely tilted back 45 degrees, narrowly avoiding a praying mantis's scythe arm sweep and quickly straightening up.

It all happened between the lights and the fire.

The other three praying mantis had not yet found the relay point, and after changing the direction of attack, Qin Xiaotian started a new round of attack.

Under the personal training of Yan Yan.

Qin Xiaotian's melee ability has been greatly improved, and it has been fed back to the mecha, although it is a little jerky, it is also much better than before.

The moment the 403 heavy cannon in his hand slammed into one of the praying mantises, the scythe in his right hand had already removed the scythe arm of the other mantis, and he stirred it along the way to block the collision of the third praying mantis.

Everything is at ease.

There is not the slightest pressure to speak of.

From beginning to end, these pioneer mantis couldn't make Qin Xiaotian's footsteps move for half a minute.

In just a few breaths, two of the four pioneer mantis were abolished, and before the remaining two could be slaughtered again, Qin Xiaotian was already quick and sent the sickle blade into the opponent's body.

After this wave of pioneer mantis was resolved, it was another few minutes of interruption.

Qin Xiaotian breathed a little.

Quietly absorb the source power in the air and quench the mecha source parts.

Because for the time being, he only needs to defend in the front and back directions, so Qin Xiaotian has not felt the pressure for the time being.

Over time.

More and more pioneer praying mantis have been released in the jungle.

The number also rose from 8 to 16 and finally stabilized at 30.

Ten minutes is a wave.

Steady stream.

It seems endless.

Qin Xiaotian was also gradually immersed in the attack again and again.

The nine-meter-tall mecha body rampaged through the valley, like a wild tiger, galloping through the area.

The ghost scythe became more and more comfortable in Qin Xiaotian's hand, and it seemed to be smooth when he wielded it, and every move was full of power and unstoppable momentum.

However, with the continued onslaught of the Pioneer Mantis.

Qin Xiaotian's mecha inevitably had some damage, and even the durability of the ghost scythe in his hand had dropped from 300 points to 15 points, and the sharp blade was already full of potholes at the moment.

It could fall apart at any moment.

"Groan!"

A metallic hum rang out.

Finally, when Qin Xiaotian swept once, the sickle with a serious lack of durability instantly shattered when it hit the vanguard mantis mouthpiece.

The armed fragments shattered, blowing up Qin Xiaotian's face.

"Damn!"

Qin Xiaotian, who was in the ascendant of killing, faced with the sudden change, one was unprepared and lost on the right side, and was suddenly impacted by the remaining dozen or so pioneer mantises.

Almost instantly, he lost his body's center of gravity.

He staggered back seven or eight steps, until he hit the rock wall of the valley.

"!"

Facing the vanguard mantis that surrounded and killed, Qin Xiaotian didn't have time to replace his armament at all.

You can only raise the 403 cannon and use it as a fist.

Ten days ago, he was able to deal with seven or eight Pioneer Mantis with his bare hands, and now the number has doubled.

But it's not a big problem.

Qin Xiaotian brandished the 403 heavy cannon and smashed it fiercely at the Pioneer Mantis, and in the middle of his body, the heavy cannon danced like an iron fist, dense like a raging storm, and soon wanted to kill the remaining dozen Pioneer Mantis.

"Damn, I almost overturned!"

After successfully solving this wave, Qin Xiaotian looked at the gap, lifted the mecha summoning, and quickly found a sickle part from the corpse, and reloaded it into the source card slot.

"That's not going to work?"

A giggle came, and Qin Xiaotian didn't need to look back to know who it was.

"Eldest sister, I'm only a black iron level LV2."

Seeing Yan Yan come back, Qin Xiaotian did not continue to summon the mecha, but squatted on top of the corpse of a pioneer mantis, panting heavily.

One morning.

Under the guidance of Yan Yan, he experienced more than a dozen waves of pioneer mantis siege.

More than 400 heads were killed before and after.

The corpses of the Pioneer Mantis lay all over the valley.

"I know you're Black Iron."

Yan Yan lifted the mecha state and walked to Qin Xiaotian's side with a smile: "If it weren't for your level, I would have to give you the entire hundred." ”

Qin Xiaotian rolled his eyes: "You really think I'm iron." ”

Yan Yan spread his hands, pretending to be helpless and said: "You can't help it even if you have a silver-like wax spear head, these are the most basic mechanical creatures, and when you take the graduation exam, in terms of single combat ability, it is probably this difficulty." ”

"Huh?"

Qin Xiaotian stood up in surprise and looked directly at Yan Yan: "Are you sure that the graduation exam is this difficulty?" ”

After these days of training, his combat ability has been initially formed.

Although it was a little difficult to face the thirty pioneer mantises.

But be cautious and you can solve it.

If the graduation exam is of this difficulty, doesn't that mean that it is not difficult?

"Or else? This is an assessment, not to let you newly awakened rookies go to death! ”

Yan Yan glanced at Qin Xiaotian with disdain: "The graduation exam mainly focuses on individual combat strength tests and team ability tests.

In order to compete for good resources, talented people focus on the display of personal combat power.

People with poor talent focus on developing team command skills.

Everyone has the opportunity to express themselves, and the important thing is to find a place that suits you. ”

"Oooh!"

Qin Xiaotian nodded thoughtfully.

Everyone's talent is different, A-level talent and F-level talent are in the same examination room, if it is only judged by pure personal combat power, it is obviously difficult to convince the public.

If that's the case, then what kind of assessment is needed.

Directly send talents below grade C to the military camp, and the above talents will go to college.

It's simple and straightforward, and it's not cumbersome.

But that's not the case.

In the era when the whole people are resisting mechanical invasion, no matter what level of talent, it has its value.

In the same way, there are also positions that are suitable for each other.

When necessary, even if the opponent does not awaken the talent, as long as the command ability of the opponent is outstanding, then he can still mobilize B-level or even A-level talent personnel to complete the strategic goal.

In special periods, even S-level talents have to listen to the command honestly.

This is a time when the whole people are defending themselves against the invasion of other species.

There will be infighting among human beings, but the overall goal is the same.

Therefore, there will not be a thing where a class is directly solidified and loses its upward channel due to some unilateral factor.

This is not conducive to unity.

"But the Awakened still have an advantage!" Qin Xiaotian pursed his lips.

In some secret realms, ordinary people do not have the environmental conditions for survival without the help of equipment.

It's like the secret realm of the sea of stars.

Most of them are in space, and ordinary people can't breathe without the help of equipment, let alone command battles.

The class is not solidified, there is a certain upward channel, but the awakened have a natural advantage.

Eh, anyway, there wasn't a stick to kill.

There is room for it.

"Alright, that's the way to train in the morning."

Seeing Qin Xiaotian standing in place stunned, not knowing what to think in his mind, Yan Yan lifted the bangs in front of his forehead and pulled them behind his ears, and said, "I'll give you an hour of rest, and after an hour, I'll walk back on foot!" ”

"Huh?" Qin Xiaotian came back to his senses.

Walking back?

Where to go?

On the other side of the portal at the training ground?

There is no mistake.

Let's talk less about a few hundred kilometers here.

"Ahh

Yan Yan summoned a pocket-sized version of the meniscus blade and trimmed his nails: "I'll take you with me, when you encounter a crisis on the road, you run desperately, mainly to train your ability to escape." ”

"This thing needs training?" Qin Xiaotian scoffed.

Running away is the same as breathing and sleeping.

It is an instinct engraved in a person's bones, where does the training come from.

"Accidents inevitably occur in the graduation assessment, and the death target given by the military camp is 3%. If you don't think you need training, then spend another afternoon here and fly back in the evening with a helicopter. Yan didn't raise the cigarette butt, and trimmed it carefully.

"A 3% mortality target?"

Qin Xiaotian's face stiffened slightly.

That is, the number of accidental deaths is within this range, and the assessment team is not held responsible?

Does this still make people live?

Who said that just now.

This graduation exam is not for rookies to die.

Who would dare to bet on this 3% indicator.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaotian couldn't help rubbing his face, and said with a smile on his face: "Sister, I think I'm a little immature in terms of my ability to escape, and I still need my sister's help with special training." ”

"Sister?"

Yan Yan put away the pocket version of the meniscus blade, and suddenly came to her senses, she straightened her chest and abdomen, and said slightly: "Now you know that you are called sister?" No, I want to hear you say 'godmother' from me now! ”

Qin Xiaotian: ???

What does this tiger girl mean?

I'm really still chasing stars.

I still want to be a mother fan.

You didn't support me either.

Are you taking advantage of Luan Shuangyu, or is it taking advantage of his missing father?

Hiss.

If you think so.

It doesn't seem to be able to take advantage of itself.

"Godmother!"

After figuring out this stubble, Qin Xiaotian screamed shamelessly.

Yan Yan was suddenly petrified, and goosebumps fell to the ground all over his body.

"Stop, stop."

Yan Yan shuddered, and took a step back in horror: "You are really screaming!" ”

"Or else?"

Qin Xiaotian has no face and no skin;

"No, no, no!"

In this regard, Yan Yan waved his hand again and again in fright to refuse, his face was blue and red for a while, and he muttered in his mouth: "Forget it, don't call it, if you really call it like that, it will be messy." ”

"What's the mess?"

"Ah, no, there's no mess."

"What's no chaos is chaos?"

"If there is no chaos, there is no chaos, and you are not allowed to call me godmother in the future!"

"What's that called?"

"Call me Yan Yan, Sister Yan, or just call my sister!"

"Okay, Sister Yan."
