After the first exam ended, the next exam came the next day.
The exam rules are also very simple. You only need to cross the entire forest of death and reach the end point within ten days to pass.
Of course, it can't really be that simple. In addition to dealing with the dangers in the forest of death, all candidates must also find a silver bell.
There were three people in groups, and each group needed a silver bell as a 'token', so only 24 at most were enough, but each candidate was told that there were a hundred silver bells hidden in the Forest of Death!
why is that?
Are too many candidates eliminated because of the first exam?
So let it slip in the second exam?
I guess only a fool would think so!
Then, when many candidates were looking at each other, Qingyu's deputy couldn't help but show a look of 'pity'. Even he had only just found out what the real difficulty of this second exam was...
"In addition to the exam rules just mentioned, there is actually a hidden condition..."
Many candidates suddenly had an expression of "I knew it" on their faces, but since it is a hidden condition, they should be allowed to discover it by themselves just like in the first exam. Why would you tell them directly?
What surprised them even more was what came next, because not only did he tell them that there were hidden conditions that could be achieved in this exam, but he also told them the content of the hidden conditions!
"There will be a mysterious man wandering around in the forest of death. This mysterious man will randomly attack all creatures that appear in front of him, and will even snatch the silver bell you find. But equally, the mysterious man owns a golden bell.
, if someone can grab this golden bell, then the exam will be terminated immediately, and all remaining candidates will pass except for those candidates who have been eliminated before!"
Once this hidden rule was revealed, all the candidates were in an uproar!
In other words, they can join forces, ignore the original test content, directly find the mysterious person, and snatch the golden bell.
Once successful, everyone can successfully pass the second exam.
It's just that you don't have to think about it to know that this mysterious man must be very strong. Maybe he is played by a Jonin. Even if they go together, they may not be able to defeat him.
But the problem is that they don't need to win, they just need to grab the golden bell!
So the biggest problem before them is how to find the mysterious person and the issue of trust.
Although in this second exam, the competition between the candidates is very small, they will still face severe challenges after joining forces.
Because in the process of snatching the golden bell, someone is bound to be eliminated, and there are bound to be people who work hard and wait to take advantage.
Therefore, uniting all candidates is simply an impossible false proposition.
In addition, those who are confident in their own strength can pass the assessment through normal methods, why should they take risks to help others?
Thinking of this, many candidates calmed down and found that this hidden rule was a complete trap!
But some people still have a lucky mentality...
Soon, after the rules were explained, the 72 candidates were divided into groups and taken to various starting points.
The Death Forest is very large. If these people are thrown in separately, even if they want to meet in a short time, it depends on their luck.
What's more, there are so many 'surprises' waiting for them!
............
Swish, swish, swish...
Three figures passed by quickly, and they could be distinguished by the forehead protectors they wore on their foreheads. These three figures were genin from Sunagakure Village.
"Look, is that the silver bell we are looking for?"
I saw a silver bell hanging brightly on the branch, not avoiding people at all.
"Haha, this is too easy."
"Be careful, it might be a trap."
"It's okay, just look at me!"
The confident candidate No. 33 immediately took out a monkey-like puppet, and then used puppetry to control the puppet to climb the tree to get the bell.
The other two people were watching their surroundings vigilantly to avoid being attacked by other candidates and having the bells they were about to take away.
The three of them cooperated very well and were careful enough, not as 'reckless' as they had shown before.
But just when the monkey puppet took off the silver bell carelessly, the mechanism was immediately triggered!
The 'balls' hidden among the dense leaves instantly densely covered the entire open space.
There is indeed a trap!
But don’t panic!
The three of them sneered and quickly took out their shurikens to detonate these 'bombs' in the air.
Bang bang bang...
They succeeded, but what they never expected was that what fell in this trap was not a bomb, but... a 'smoke bomb'!
"Be careful of the poison!"
The expressions of the three people changed and they immediately ran outside.
They responded very quickly, but when they escaped, their bodies were still covered in white powder.
"It's not a gas bomb, it's probably just to scare people."
Candidate No. 35, who was the first to find the bell, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the other two people also put the antidote pills back.
"Hey, lucky~ It's so easy to get it, maybe we can win the first place this time!" Candidate No. 33 immediately put away the silver bell that the monkey puppet got, and the other two also showed "nothing more than that"
Joy expression.
As for the mysterious man?
They are not interested at all!
In other words, they are eager to eliminate everyone except them. How can they grab some golden bell and let everyone pass the test? Do they look like fools?
But just as they were about to continue on their way, candidate 34, who had been silent all this time, suddenly scratched his neck hard and said, "Suddenly I feel itchy all over my body. How about you?"
It was okay not to say this, but as soon as he said this, the other two people began to scratch the exposed parts of their bodies, and the more they scratched, the more itchy they became.
"How could this happen?" Candidate No. 33 asked in shock.
Candidate No. 35 could barely keep calm and said: "There must be something wrong with the 'smoke bomb' just now!"
"Grass, it's itchy powder!"
The faces of the three people all changed color, and they shouted unbearably: "Look for water!"
"Made, who is so disgusting that he actually arranged the itching powder into a trap and disguised it as a smoke bomb?"
"Don't let me know who this person is, I will definitely kill him. Ah! It's tickling me to death!"
"Stop talking nonsense and quickly spread out to find water."
At this moment, the panicked candidate No. 33 suddenly let out a scream and fell into the trap again.
"Ahhh!"
The other two people immediately ran back and looked down. The hole was filled with 'iron needle balls'...
