"Qianming, how old are you this year?" asked Yuntu.

Qian Ming is a fake name that Zhao Ziming came up with, although he has escaped the fate of being controlled, but before he has enough strength to protect himself, he doesn't want to leave any traces that may reveal his identity, in case Long Liying finds out that he is still alive.

"Twelve, what about you?"

"I'm eleven, younger than you. Yuntu replied.

"Why did you join the Lone Wolf Gang?" Zhao Ziming turned his head, looked at Yuntu, and asked.

Yun Tu was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "If you have food, you don't have to go hungry if you join the Lone Wolf Gang." ”

Zhao Ziming saw that he seemed to be a little insincere, but the other party didn't want to say it, and he wouldn't ask any more, sighed, turned around, looked at the bright moon in the night sky outside the window, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear...... Blood Feud!"

......

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, everyone was woken up, and the lone wolf gang's gang entry assessment began.

A group of more than 100 people out of Zhuangzi, detoured to the east, walked for about half an hour, the road gradually narrowed, there are arbors on the side of the road into a forest, actually leading to the mountain.

The people made a long snake column, marched into the mountains and forests, and it was a small half an hour to pass, and they met a mountain stream, which was wide and a few feet deep, and the water was clear.

The few men in Tsing Yi led by them discussed for a while, and one of them stepped out and shouted: "Stop, rest for a quarter of an hour." ”

From the beginning to the present, the orphans have walked nearly twenty miles, almost trotting all the way, they are already sweating, hearing the words and cheering, they all run to the stream, lean down, and drink the water.

After drinking enough, some people sat down on the spot and regained their strength, while others took out a steamed bun from their arms, made it in half, put away half of it, and held the other half in their hands and ate it slowly.

Before leaving, each orphan received two steamed buns, and was told that this was their day's food, and about the specific content of the assessment, the men in Tsing Yi also revealed a little, the first pass is to go, did not say how far, only said that if you can't reach the destination within two days, even if the assessment fails.

Zhao Ziming sat in a sunlit place by the stream, his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap, but in fact, he was running the nameless exercises, practicing silently, where the internal force passed, a warmth rose up on himself, and the fatigue caused by the previous walk dissipated.

The corners of Zhao Ziming's mouth were slightly upturned, which is also a major benefit of having internal strength, and his endurance is far more durable than ordinary people.

"Now, Qianming, here you go. The voice of the cloud map sounded in my ears.

Zhao Ziming opened his eyes and saw that Yuntu handed over half a steamed bun, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he didn't reach out to pick it up, "There is still a day to go, you save some food." ”

Yuntu smiled, stuffed the steamed bun into Zhao Ziming's hand, glanced left and right, and said mysteriously: "I secretly hid two last night, don't worry." ”

Zhao Ziming suddenly hesitated, and then stopped refusing.

A quarter of an hour later, the group set off again. The rest of the journey was even more arduous, although the pace slowed down, but the mountain roads were difficult, the forest was sweltering, and the orphans were complaining.

The four men in Tsing Yi and more than a dozen young men in black who were traveling with them no longer blindly walked in the forefront, but scattered around to guard to prevent accidents.

Even so, some people were unlucky, and the three orphans were bitten by an unknown poisonous snake that suddenly sprang out of a bush.

The venomous nature of this snake is terrifying, but with a cup of tea, the three people died one after another, and the death was miserable.

The poisonous snake was cut into two pieces by a black-clothed young man who rushed in with a sword, and after struggling for a while, he died, but three lives were lost.

What chilled everyone's hearts was that except for the black-clothed young man who arrived first, none of the other Lone Wolf Gang disciples came over even if they heard the news, and the man in green clothes who led the way directly ordered to continue to move forward, allowing the three dead orphans to be exposed to the wilderness.

When this happened, the orphans also realized that their lives were not very important in the eyes of others, and they were more careful when walking, and some even had the intention of retreating and wanted to run away halfway, and finally became ghosts under the sword.

At noon, everyone rested near a mountain spring.

Zhao Ziming slowly gnawed on the steamed bun in his hand, but his eyes were secretly looking at the man in Tsing Yi not far away, according to Zhao Ziming's observation, those people had not eaten or drunk water from morning to now.

With his internal strength, walking in the mountains like this, he can do not eat or drink for half a day, but if he wants to be like the men in Tsing Yi, he will never be able to.

This can only show one problem, whether it is a man in Tsing Yi or a young man in black, their internal strength cultivation is far above Zhao Ziming.

After resting, the man in Tsing Yi greeted and took the lead on the road, and the other men in Tsing Yi and the young man in black scattered and surrounded all the orphans in the middle, and now the purpose of this move is probably more to prevent someone from escaping.

The deeper it goes, the more lush the forest becomes, all kinds of beasts and poisonous insects emerge in endlessly, the beasts are okay, whether they are tigers or wolves, they can't withstand the swords in the hands of the black-clothed youths, but poisons like poisonous snakes, scorpions and centipedes have brought huge casualties, a full eleven people died of poison, and seven people lost their mobility and were abandoned in the mountains and wilderness, no different from death.

Carefully calculated, in just over half a day, more than a quarter of orphans died, such a elimination rate is really a bit scary.

The remaining orphans, though terrified, had no choice but to keep up with the threat of the sword.

In the evening, the men in Tsing Yi chose a relatively gentle slope as the camp, and more than a dozen people held swords, and after a while, they cleaned up the grass and trees on the slope.

A bonfire was lit, and the remaining fifty or so orphans sat in a circle around the fire, but they did not fall asleep as quickly as last night, and they either held their chins in a daze, or whispered in pairs, and most of them looked a little uneasy.

It's no wonder that even though they are much more mature than their peers, they are only teenagers after all, and what happened today is indeed too cruel for them, who can remain calm?

Yuntu's physical strength is poor, and when he hurried during the day, he tried his best not to fall last, but he didn't sleep at the moment, drooping his head, looking at the ground, and not saying a word. Zhao Ziming sat beside him, also without interest in speaking, and all that echoed in his mind was the painful screams of those orphans before they died.

The two of them walked in the crowd today, and they were lucky to have no danger, but people have good fortune and misfortune, after today, and tomorrow, thinking that they will live this kind of life when they pin their heads to their belts at any time in the future, even if they have long been prepared, they will inevitably be depressed in their hearts.

One night passed, and when they got up in the morning, the orphans received two steamed buns as usual, and it was obvious that the men in Tsing Yi were prepared. When the light in the forest was a little brighter, everyone set out on the road again.

Today's situation seemed to be even worse, not long after the departure, the group actually encountered a pack of wolves, as many as forty or so jungle wolves surrounded everyone, and killed them by surprise.

Fortunately, the martial arts of the men in Tsing Yi and the young men in black were indeed strong, and they immediately killed most of the wolves with lightning speed, and the remaining wolves broke through the blockade line, but they were unexpectedly resisted by the orphans, although some were injured, none of them died.

For some reason, the man in Tsing Yi led by him did not leave the injured behind this time, but sent two young men in black to bandage them simply, and then the orphans supported them on the road together.

The rest of the road was quite peaceful, and the frequency of poisonous insects and beasts was surprisingly low. At dusk in the afternoon, everyone finally walked out of the reckless deep forest.

Connected to the forest is a wide avenue, but the road narrows as you go, and the terrain rises until a rather steep hill comes into view.

The man in Tsing Yi stopped at a fork in the road, his expression was not as cold as before, and said: "Congratulations, become a member of my lone wolf gang, now, you have two choices, first, follow me up the mountain and become a disciple of the gang, and second, follow the path on the left side to the rocky cliff, and those who climb the rocky cliff and go up to the peak can enter the inner gang." ”

When the orphans heard this, they first rejoiced, and then looked at each other, and some of them suffered from gains and losses.

Since there are internal and external gangs, needless to say, it is better to be able to enter the inner gang, but they have been running for two days, starving every day, and now they are exhausted, and they need to climb the cliff to enter the inner gang, and they may not have the physical strength to enter the inner gang.

After a while, the man in Tsing Yi said: "Okay, if you don't go, come with me, and if you want to try, it's okay, if you fail, someone will lead you up the mountain." ”

With that, he turned around alone and walked up the mountain.

Seven or eight orphans hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and followed the footsteps of the man in green clothes, including the two who were injured when fighting against the wolves, they both reached their own limits, knowing that it was useless to be strong, it was better to accept fate.

The other orphans were reluctant and wanted to see it, so under the leadership of the remaining three men in Tsing Yi and more than ten young men in black, they stepped on the trail on the left.

When I didn't walk for a long time, the rocky cliff was close in front of me, and many people could see that they changed color on the spot.

The first half of the rocky cliff is a hillside, full of rocks, grass and trees do not grow, the slope is not very steep, but from the middle, the slope suddenly increases, almost straight upward, more than ten knotted ropes hang down from the top of the mountain, swaying slightly in the wind, making people daunting.

With such a terrain, even if the orphans are in perfect condition, they may not dare to climb, after all, even if there is a rope, if they fall from the cliff by mistake, they will definitely die and die.

A man in green clothes with a black mole on his eyebrows said in a deep voice: "Those who are willing to climb the cliff go up." ”

After a while, twelve orphans emerged from the crowd and began to climb.
