Everyone turned their heads and looked around, and what appeared in front of them was a lush mountain forest.
"This mountain forest is the location for your assessment this time. Everyone comes here to receive a supply of dry food and weapons. It is now eleven o'clock, and the assessment will end at this time tomorrow. At that time, all students will return here to tally their scores."
Zhu Shan shouted coldly.
Only then did the young men recover from their previous excitement, and one by one they stepped forward to receive weapons and dry food.
During the process of receiving it, Zhu Shan picked up a red bamboo tube and said: "Everyone, remember, this is a signal bomb. If you encounter danger during the assessment, or are injured and unable to continue the assessment, just launch this signal bomb. We will
The staff will rush to you immediately, but once the signal flare is launched, it means the assessment is over."
"This field test lasts for one day. You forty-four quasi-warriors have to go into the mountains to fight a one-star monster. Remember, the field test is extremely dangerous. For the sake of your safety, don't show off.
As long as you kill a one-star monster, you can pass the assessment. In addition, the top three will also receive additional rewards from our warrior alliance, or a human-level secret book, a sword, or a pill, which is considered as a reward.
Your little surprise."
"Okay, now I announce that the second round of field tests for the prospective warriors' actual combat assessment will begin now!"
Following Zhu Shan's loud shout, many young people participating in the assessment rushed into the jungle in small groups like lightning.
"Whoosh!"
The mountains and forests are dense, and the scorching sunshine pours down from the sky, steaming the earth. A gust of wind blows, and the leaves rustle like waves.
In the barren mountain forest, it was the first time for almost all the teenagers to leave the New Acropolis from childhood to adulthood. They were extremely vigilant in their hearts and slowly dispersed.
Lin Xiao followed the crowd and walked slowly towards the mountain. Looking back at the foot of the mountain, Lin Xiao could see that there were soldiers patrolling at intervals at the foot of the entire mountain. Apparently he was afraid that there would be other powerful people outside.
The monster enters the assessment area.
Lin Xiao walked along the mountain road and looked up. He saw that most of the would-be warriors chose to go into the mountains in groups of two or three. After all, for them who had not yet opened up the Yuanchi, they had to deal with a one-star demon alone.
The beast is indeed a bit more difficult.
Several teenagers who participated in the assessment with Lin Xiao but could not find their companions followed Lin Xiao near him. They looked at Lin Xiao's hesitant expression, as if they wanted to say something to him.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao felt a pair of sharp eyes looking at him.
"Wu Yiwen."
Lin Xiao suddenly turned around and saw Wu Yiwen, dressed in smart clothes, standing not far away, looking at Lin Xiao with sharp eyes.
"Lin Xiao, I will never lose to you in this field test."
Wu Yiwen said coldly, then turned around and quickly disappeared into the forest.
Lin Xiao smiled hoarsely, but did not respond. He had already advanced to the level of true warrior and did not take Wu Yiwen to heart at all. In the eyes of others, Wu Yiwen was a young genius with outstanding talents, but in Lin Xiao's view, he was nothing.
, and Lin Xiao didn’t have any spare time to argue with him.
A faint feminine fragrance came.
Lin Xiao's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look aside. A girl in white clothes quietly appeared beside him.
Lin Xiao was startled, it was actually Lu Xue.
Lu Xue had a smile on her lips and two shallow dimples on her fair face. She smiled seemingly casually and said, "Lin Xiao, you don't want to go up the mountain alone, do you? How about we go together?"
Several teenagers on the side were dumbfounded. They did not expect that Lu Xue, who was like a fairy in their eyes, would actually ask to go with Lin Xiao. They were all jealous and envious.
, I wish I could compare myself to Lin Xiao.
"Sorry, not interested."
Lin Xiao's answer shocked these teenagers. After saying this, Lin Xiao's speed suddenly increased and he disappeared into the mountains and forests several times.
A trace of surprise silently flashed across Lu Xue's face, and then she bit her teeth lightly. She obviously did not expect that Lin Xiao would reject her invitation so simply and neatly.
"Humph!" Lu Xue snorted, with hateful eyes and slightly open nose, as if the little girl's beloved thing had been robbed.
"Lv Xue, it's too dangerous in this mountain forest. Why don't we go together as a group? The first monster we kill will be yours." Several young men came with calm faces.
"Not interested in!"
Lu Xue spoke coldly, her expression returned to calm, and without even looking at the people, she disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few traumatized teenagers.
More than forty quasi-combatants who took the exam rushed into the mountain forest like birds returning to their nests, just like a splash of water on the lake, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xiao walked carefully through the mountains and forests, always paying attention to the movements around him.
"This field assessment is not only a simple assessment, but also a test of courage. There are only the weakest one-star monsters in the entire mountain and forest. Where will there be such a good opportunity to exercise in the future."
It was a difficult test for other would-be warriors, but it was a rare training opportunity for Lin Xiao, so Lin Xiao was unwilling to travel with others.
"Snapped!"
In the distance, a fiery red stream of light rose into the sky, forming a gorgeous firework in the sky.
"This is the second one to fire off flares." Lin Xiao shook his head and did not pay attention to the movement in the distance, but focused on the surroundings.
"Huh?" While slowly sneaking, Lin Xiao suddenly heard a subtle sound of brushing the bushes, which was particularly clear amid the sound of the leaves blowing in the breeze.
Lin Xiaolian looked up and saw a giant hound about one and a half meters tall, covered with barb-like black burrs, emerging from the bushes and moving forward aimlessly.
"Shadow Hound." Lin Xiao's gaze condensed, and light burst out in his eyes: "My first prey is you. By the way, I also want to test how strong I am now."
Lin Xiao emerged from behind the rock and stood in front of the Shadow Hound.
"Roar!"
The shadow hound stared at Lin Xiao who was not far away with a pair of violent eyes. He roared in his mouth and kicked his limbs on the ground. The smoke and dust dispersed, and the shadow hound turned into a black stream of light and rushed towards Lin Xiao like lightning.
"So fast!" Lin Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank like needlepoints, and his muscles tensed up. He was completely immersed in the atmosphere of the battle, his eyes fixed on the shadow hounds that were rushing towards him.
The pool rotated, and traces of elemental power spread from it to Lin Xiao's limbs and bones.
"Whoosh!"
The Shadow Hound arrived in front of Lin Xiao in the blink of an eye. With a low roar, he kicked his hind legs hard and jumped up suddenly. His original speed increased by nearly half, and he pounced on Lin Xiao like an arrow from a string.
His eyes were crazy, his ferocious teeth opened, and he bit Lin Xiao's throat desperately.
"Hoo!" The moment the Shadow Hound pounced, Lin Xiao swerved away, and quietly used the Shadowless Piao Hong Jue, flashing to the side of the Shadow Hound like a wisp of smoke, and the Shadow Hound was pounced.
Unable to change his body shape, he could only rush past Lin Xiao.
In this flash of lightning, Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly burst into a cold light, and his right hand that was pressing on the scabbard suddenly pulled out the scabbard.
Slanting Moon Slash!
Clang!
A bolt of cold light burst out from Lin Xiao's right hand, slicing through the Shadow Hound's neck like lightning.
puff!
The head of the shadow hound that passed by Lin Xiao at high speed suddenly shot up into the sky and split into two parts at the neck. Blood spurted out wildly from the broken neck and spilled all over the ground. Half of the body of the shadow hound that rushed past at high speed was still intact.
After jumping a few meters, he fell. He twitched stiffly twice on the ground, and then completely lost his voice.
"call!"
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, his right hand holding the steel knife motionless.
Lin Xiao, who had controlled the Earth Burrowing Armor clone and experienced countless life-and-death battles, had now reached an extremely stable state of mind, and would not have the slightest fluctuation due to killing a one-star monster.
For other would-be warriors, it would be extremely difficult, and it might take a life-and-death battle to determine the outcome, but for Lin Xiao, who had advanced to the first rank of a true warrior, it was very easy.
"I performed the sword very well just now, and the timing was also very accurate. The completion rate reached 70%. The moment I used the sword was unprecedentedly smooth. As expected, I still need to fight to better utilize my potential." General Lin Xiao
The Shadow Hound's nose was slowly cut off, and he put it into the baggage he carried with him, saying silently in his heart.
When ordinary warriors face battles, there will always be situations like this. Many people can only use a few percent of their strength when they are nervous, but Lin Xiao is different. The more dangerous the battle, the calmer his heart becomes and his mind
The unprecedented Kong Ming will perform better. This is not only because of Lin Xiao's underground armor clone, but also because of his previous life's personality of loving rock climbing and extreme challenges.
"However, although I easily killed the Shadow Hound just now, it was only because my own strength had reached Level 1. If I were still a quasi-warrior now, I might have been in danger just now. I must not be cautious when encountering things in the future.
Surprise, you must be prepared for all kinds of accidents.”
Lin Xiao was slightly surprised when the speed of the Shadow Hound surged before. The movement of Yuanli in his body was also slightly affected. Otherwise, it would have performed better. At this moment, Lin Xiao couldn't help but silently remind himself.
"This is the first one!"
Lin Xiao put away the steel knife and sneaked into the forest again.
…
Time passed little by little, and the sun gradually set in the west and disappeared at the end of the west.
The assessment is still going on. At night, the mountains and forests will become extremely dangerous. This is also the time when quasi-warriors are eliminated the most.
Throughout the afternoon, only six students fired signal flares to complete the assessment, but at night, nearly 80% of the would-be warriors would have completed the assessment. This has been a common practice in field tests for countless years.
It was a gloomy night, when Lin Xiao and many other would-be warriors were hunting and taking assessments in the mountains and forests.
At the foot of the mountain.
A soldier on duty wearing alloy armor suddenly raised his head and looked somewhere in the forest, with a strange light shining in his eyes.
He looked around vigilantly, his expression looking extremely strange, and then he swung forward, disappearing into the forest as quietly as a ghost, and flew towards the place where many would-be warriors were taking their exams.
