Chapter 33: There is a great terror at night
The dark red sunlight gradually dimmed, and the whole sky was gray and lost its brilliance, and little by little white points of light fell from above like fireflies in the sky, I don't know what it was.
"Everyone, the real assessment is about to begin!"
The lieutenant general of the Federation looked at the time, turned to everyone, and said.
The last bit of daylight was gone, and only the gray starlight was visible, but fortunately there was still something like white light shining, and I could still see the surrounding objects clearly.
In a desert in the east, a team of seventeen candidates were in a hurry, they wanted to leave this deserted place and find a relatively safe area to rest.
Suddenly, dozens of sands slowly rose on the ground around it, as if something was about to come out!
They immediately became alert, the formation was closed, and the seven of them took out the weapons made of the claws of the jackals they had hunted before, and entered the battle state in a circle.
"What's the situation?!Aren't there only gnolls on this planet? I've never heard of gnolls being able to burrow into the ground!"
One of them said in a panic.
After all, they are all seventeen or eighteen-year-old children, and they have already been considered to have experienced actual combat against jackals before, and they have not yet come to their senses.
Now in the night, there is another crisis!
"I knew it wasn't that simple! I heard my senior say last year that the college entrance examination they participated in even appeared in the foundation building period, and directly eliminated thousands of people, and finally the military wiped it out!"
"Keep calm! Don't mess up! Always be ready to fight!" The captain spoke to remind everyone.
The uplifted sand was already more than a man tall, and then the sand slid down, and huge scorpions appeared one by one!
These scorpions are the size of a person, and in the gray environment, it is impossible to see what color it is, only some metallic reflections on the surface, and the green light of those eyes shoots out, especially their erect poisonous tails, glowing red, like a high-raised death scythe, ready to attack at any time!
Giant sand scorpions!
There are dangerous monsters recorded in the textbooks of the junior high school monster class! Their tail spines are highly poisonous, ordinary people will immediately turn into thick water and die as long as they are stabbed, and their giant double pincers, the bite force can twist ordinary alloys!
Even if a cultivator in the Agility Period encounters it, it will be a headache to deal with!
There are more than 30 giant sand scorpions!
When they reached the ground, they shook their bodies, cleaned the grit from their bodies, and then began to absorb the little white light around them as if they hadn't noticed the dozen or so people.
The white dots of light converged towards them until they submerged into their bodies, where they were completely absorbed.
Everything happened so fast that the students didn't have time to panic and scream.
One of the girls was about to scream, but the other person on the side hurriedly covered her hand with her hand.
It was silent, even the wind seemed to be still, and no one dared to gasp loudly, only the beating of the heart.
"Shhhhh The captain also had cold sweat on his forehead, looked at the nearest giant sand scorpion seven or eight meters away, and said to everyone in a very low voice.
Everyone nodded, and began to move to the side step by step.
Time passed little by little, and more than a dozen people were very careful and had moved away from a distance of more than ten meters.
But at this moment, the surrounding white points of light were absorbed by the more than thirty giant sand scorpions, and they began to look around and found the dozen or so students!
One of them was the first to gallop towards them, too fast, and its eight legs were flat on the sand, bringing up clouds of dust.
Now the other giant sand scorpions also spotted the dozen or so 'uninvited guests' and ran towards them!
"What are you doing! Run!"
I don't know who shouted such a sentence first, and everyone reacted and turned around and ran.
But how could they outrun these demon beasts that were born and raised in the desert, and after a while, a candidate was chased, and the tail thorn fell, about to penetrate it!
"Danger detected...... Ninety-nine percent probability that the test taker will die and be eliminated from the ...... Turn on the protective measures!"
This piece of information flashed through the candidate's mind, and then the auxiliary light brain on his wrist flashed, and the next moment he was wrapped in a transparent film and received the information that had been eliminated.
The tail spine stabs the life-sustaining protective film, and the surface seems to be slippery, but it can't be pierced, and each stab will be biased to the side.
The prey was in front of it, and it angrily clamped it with its giant pincers, but it still couldn't break it.
After a while, two more girls were caught up, but they simply gave up their qualifications for the exam and started the life-sustaining protective film on their own.
Soon, except for the strongest captain, everyone was caught up by the giant sand scorpion, and they were all judged to be disqualified from the exam.
Fortunately, the life-sustaining protective film was activated in time and there were no casualties.
In another section of the hill, a group of giant monkeys with scarlet eyes broke through the rocks from the mountain, directly swept hundreds of nearby candidates, forced out the life-supporting protective film and eliminated.
On the edge of a river, there were several teams of candidates resting on the bank, and suddenly dozens of winged wind snakes with fleshy wings burst out of the river, and after a while, all those teams of people and horses were wiped out, and none of them remained.
In other desert areas, there are thunder lion beasts falling from the sky, raining thunder, crushing nearby candidates and forcing out the life-sustaining protective film.
It turned out that most of the demon beasts on this Demon Moon Star only appeared at night, absorbing the white light spots that only appeared at night to cultivate.
Countless powerful monsters appeared one after another, and the candidates were unprepared and were caught off guard! The number of candidates who were eliminated for a while skyrocketed!
After a while, dozens of cultivators each led a team of people and set off from the battleship to recover the eliminated students.
"In just two hours, more than 13,000 candidates have been eliminated, isn't this a bit difficult, don't you have the last 10,000 students left. ”
In the main control room of the battleship, some people looked at the monitoring light curtain and said with some concern.
"Don't worry, they didn't prepare for the first night, and it'll be fine after tonight. Moreover, don't we just need to select real geniuses? The candidates who can still persevere in such a predicament are the real elites, and they can also go far on the road of cultivation in the future. ”
The people around him preached to him.
The forest where Mubei was located also began to move, all the trees began to shake, the roots were pulled out of the ground, the branches became arms, the original twisted trunk slowly straightened, and an old and withered face appeared on it.
It turns out that the entire forest is made of tree spirits!
Mu Bei jumped into the distance, found a huge rock as a cover, and hid behind, he ran the method to minimize his breath.
There were thousands of tree spirits! They began to absorb the free white particles, and they were still moving slowly in one direction en masse.
(I thought it was strange before, how could there be a forest in a place full of dry stone and gravel, it turned out to be all tree spirits!) The essence in their body is a good thing, if a few trees are dried up...... )
Mu Bei thought secretly, his eyes were shining.
