The Hunter's Ladder to Heaven Assessment is an examination to confirm whether the candidate has the ability to survive in extreme environments. In addition to hunting, hunters also need to possess considerable survivability abilities. In the Heaven of the World, the ability that is most needed is to survive in an unknown environment.
ability to survive.
"Please stop, there is the Tianzhi Ladder examination room in front of you, please do not enter if you are not interested."
In front of a gate, Reina and the two were stopped.
"She is a candidate and is taking the exam for the first time this year."
Heilig looked at Reina and said.
The examiner also looked at Reina and asked, "Oh? Newcomer, what's your number?"
Reina didn't know what the number was, so she handed over the iron plate and the piece of cloth in her hand, and the other party took a look.
"You are number 371. You should be the last participant today. I will take you in. I'm sorry, Mr. Heilig, but you can't enter."
"I understand, it's okay, just perform at your usual level."
Before leaving, Heilige said to Reina.
Although Reina is confident in her own strength, she is inevitably a little nervous when facing such a formal assessment.
"Are you also a one-horned ghost? You have a rare skin color and you look very young. There are very few young contestants like you." The examiner said as he led Reina into the gate.
There is nothing inside, just a small area that can accommodate about ten people.
But the examiner did go in. Reina was a little surprised, but she didn't ask anything and just followed silently.
As soon as she entered, the door closed automatically. There was a yellow light in the room, and a strange armrest. The examiner shook the armrest a few times, and suddenly the whole room shook, as if it was falling, but
The speed is very slow.
"Don't be nervous. There are many candidates like you. But you will definitely be nervous the first time. You will get familiar with it after a few more sessions."
The examiner seemed to assume that Reina would definitely fail.
"that……"
"Ah, I can't reveal the content of the exam. You can ask questions except for the first time. Let me first talk about the prohibited matters. First, outsiders are prohibited from helping. Secondly, explosive weapons are prohibited. Poison can be used, but diffuse poison weapons cannot be used. Between candidates,
You can fight for a while, but you cannot cause the other party to be seriously injured. You can abstain at any time during the final exam. Take this with you, put the cloth strip in, and we will be able to rescue you immediately."
The examiner handed a strange cup to Reina.
Suddenly, the door opened with a bang, and Rena found that behind the door was another place, a very empty underground tunnel, with many people inside, all wearing white cloths.
"Have you checked it?"
Oncoming were two examiners wearing yellow clothes. Their clothes were almost the same.
"Checked, no problem."
The examiner who brought Reina down said.
"Very good, uh, Contestant No. 371, surprisingly young, what race are you from?"
"One-horned ghost."
Reina answered according to Heilig's request.
The other party returned the iron plate to Linna, then pointed behind her and said: "Go and have a rest. The assessment will start soon. Don't force yourself. When you can't hold on, you can complete it. Let's go."
After saying that, they let Reina pass.
Although there were some hiccups along the way, Reina successfully participated in the Sky Stairway assessment.
Having said that, there were many more people taking the exam than Rena had imagined. Some of them were in groups of three or five, with their own small circles, and some were sitting silently aside, closing their eyes and concentrating. There were all kinds of people.
No, they are all demons, and there are all kinds of demons.
Reina is the only human here, which feels very strange. She has no intention of disguising herself as a demon, but no one doubts her identity.
"Newcomer."
"He still looks like a brat."
"Hey, this must not be possible."
"I'm really curious about how someone with this body type can hunt."
Some hunters noticed Reina, and sure enough, not long after, a unicorn ghost hunter came over.
"Hey man, alone?"
Reina looked up at him and saw strange patterns carved on the horns on his head, which were the tattoos of a one-horned ghost.
"But it doesn't matter. We of the same race should unite together. There are four of us now. Do you want to join us? We have participated several times and don't mind bringing one more person."
"No, I want to challenge it alone."
Reina said, closing her eyes and leaning against the rock wall.
The other party gritted his teeth and left with an unhappy look on his face.
Heilig told her not to have too much contact with other candidates, as that might reveal her identity, and she is now a boy.
"Why are you so pretentious? You're still a newcomer."
The one-horned ghost complained after returning to his team.
There were four hunters in that small team, all of them were one-horned ghosts, one of whom was a woman.
"No matter what he does, let him be beaten by reality first. Then he might be wagging his tail and begging us to take him."
The female unicorn said.
Rena heard their discussion but said nothing.
"Those guys are not good at it. They don't understand the point of this assessment."
At this moment, a voice came, a strange man sitting not far from Reina, a demon covered in scales said lightly.
He looks like a lizard tribe, but is a little different. His claws are very obvious, and his eyes are very strange. He is one of the few dragon tribes in Calderila.
Reina opened her eyes and saw that the opponent did not have much equipment. He was not as fully armed as the others. The most noteworthy thing was a three-pronged weapon.
"Even if everyone joins together, it is impossible to pass. The examiner will not let the weak pass, otherwise the passing rate will not be so low. Even though they have participated so many times, they don't know."
The other party said familiarly.
He looked at Linnai and said: "Nice look, you look different from others. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Haka. Like you, this is my first time to take the exam. As I said before, I don't know how to do it."
Join forces with anyone."
Reina didn't speak, just looked at each other silently.
"That's what you planned too, right?"
"Then why are they still united?"
Reina suddenly asked.
"Birds of a feather flock together, that's all. If I want to give a specific reason, I guess these guys think that as long as they eliminate others, they will pass. Do you still remember that in the rules, we contestants can fight each other? As long as they don't hit hard.
, you can use special means to make other people disqualified. Humph, that’s probably the reason.”
Haka spread his hands, he seemed very confident.
"But it's useless. No matter how they eliminate others, there will only be a few left. Only the truly strong can pass. Have you heard of Gu?"
Reina shook her head, the other person's words aroused her interest.
"The wizard will put a group of poisonous insects in a jar and let them fight. The ones that survive are the strongest and most poisonous insects, which are the Gu. You see, our situation is the same now. Maybe killing each other is also part of the assessment.
"
What Haka said made sense, and Reina nodded in agreement.
"But no matter what, the strong will naturally win. I hope we can meet at the edge of the world. I wish you good luck."
After saying that, Haka stood up and walked towards the crowd.
Reina sat where she was, and she began to look at the candidates around her...
