"If you are stabbed in the back by a teammate, you may lose more than you gain. Not only will you lose half of your points, but you will also be forcibly eliminated from the examination room."
"This year's rules are so cruel..."
"But there is at least one chance of resurrection. If you are eliminated for the first time in the first round, you can be resurrected in the second round. If you are eliminated for the first time in the second round, you can be resurrected in the third round. But if you are eliminated for the first time in the third round, there is no chance of resurrection. ”
Su Yan understood the rules of this year's martial arts exam.
This competition system not only tests the strength of the master, but also tests the teamwork and ability to withstand pressure.
Backstabbing teammates to steal points sounds simple, but it can easily lead to being blacklisted from the team.
Candidates with high points will be announced on the ranking list in real time, and they will become a thorn in the side of everyone, and they are likely to be targeted.
In an assessment space with a harsh environment and full of ferocious beasts, walking alone is obviously not a wise choice.
Su Yan was just thinking, when a series of virtual doors connected by black light waves into orbits appeared not far away. There were ten doors in total. This was the passage into the assessment space.
As the candidates entered the virtual door one after another, Ji He beside him also spoke to Su Yan: "Sister Su, let's go together."
"Um."
[The first round of assessment officially begins, the countdown to the beast’s refresh time is: 59 seconds...]
…
ten minutes later.
The candidates were randomly teleported to a certain point on the map, and a line of large characters appeared above each person, marking the name of the map "Tomb of the Giants".
Tomb of Giants is one of the twelve A-level examination room maps. This map has not been played in the past three years.
When Su Yan entered the map, she first felt dizzy and her eyes went black. After thirty seconds, her vision gradually became clear.
"Ji He?" Su Yan called out and found that there was no one around her.
It seemed that she and Ji He were not teleported to the same point.
Su Yan slowly raised her eyes and looked at the surrounding environment.
It is now 1:30 in the afternoon, and the time on the map is synchronized with the outside world.
A red sun hung brightly in the sky. Su Yan raised her head and stared at the sun, but there was no glare.
Except for the endless loess, there are no other obvious buildings around, and there is an air of desolation everywhere.
Su Yan turned on the auxiliary bracelet to check the map of the Giant Tomb. She was very unlucky and was teleported to the edge of the map.
Since it was a giant tomb, she was obviously on flat ground at the moment.
To earn points by hunting ferocious beasts, she must first find the ferocious beast's lair. She must explore the entrance to the ancient tomb on the map. According to the routine, the boss-level ferocious beast must be inside the ancient tomb.
Before Su Yan could take the first step to explore the map.
The points ranking on the auxiliary bracelet had been refreshed, and Su Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
So fast? ?
She took a look at the number one score, currently 310.
Su Yan clicked on the personal information.
[Candidate Name: Su Yan]
[Points: 0. 】
[Current ranking: 999+]
[Number of people who have been eliminated: (1/10000)]
Su Yan's eyes fell on the column of eliminated people and she couldn't help but frown.
Unexpectedly, she had just entered the map less than ten minutes ago, and the first person had already been eliminated so quickly.
I wonder if he encountered a high-level ferocious beast that was difficult to deal with, or was eliminated by other candidates...?
"Xiao Hei." Su Yan called.
The next second, the Nether Nighthawk flew out of the cultivation space, flapped its wings, and landed firmly on Su Yan's shoulders.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
"You seem to have grown up a bit." Su Yan walked along the center of the map while carrying Xiao Hei on her shoulders.
She clearly felt that Xiao Hei's weight on her shoulders was more than twice as heavy as before.
The body shape is also a bit bigger.
I guess he won't be able to lie on her shoulder for a while.
But it will still be a long time before Xiao Hei grows to the size of a Frost Condor like Ji Chenshu.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have to walk so tiringly. Wouldn't it be nice to let Xiao Hei carry her along the center of the map?
"Chirp! Chirp!" Xiao Hei was in excellent spirits.
…
Su Yan walked for an hour and encountered a total of ten low-level spirit beasts and one mid-level spirit beast on the way. They were all killed instantly by the high-level third-level Xiao Hei's skill without any effort.
Currently she has earned a total of 465 points.
But the first place on the ranking list already has 2446 points, which means that the first place has killed at least one high-level spiritual beast with a high level.
Along the way, she also met two or three candidates. Everyone was very harmonious. After walking together for a while, they went to the next place at the fork in the road.
Su Yan has no idea of forming a team at the moment. It is too troublesome. There are not many ferocious beasts she encounters, and they are all low-level and mid-level ferocious beasts. If she forms a team, she has to divide the points.
The Tomb of Giants covers an area equivalent to half a city. If you don't judge the direction correctly, you may not even be able to find the passage into the tomb.
Unfortunately, although Su Yan has rich experience in controlling beasts, she is actually a road fool.
Encountering another fork in the road, Su Yan stopped.
"Xiao Hei, where do you think we should go?"
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" Xiao Hei waved his right wing.
"Okay, go to the right."
Su Yan walked to the right without any hesitation.
The color of the loess underfoot is getting darker and darker, and some strange-looking plants are beginning to appear on the roadside.
"There should be a high-level pig giant elephant nearby."
Su Yan recognized the dark green fern growing on the roadside as an ancient thorn at a glance. There was also a cylindrical footprint left on the moist loess, which was a foot and a half in size.
The higher the level of the pig giant elephant, the larger it will be, and the habitat of the pig giant elephant is generally covered with dark ancient thorns.
Based on this information, Su Yan can judge that it is a giant pig elephant with a cultivation level of about three levels.
As she expected, after walking less than a hundred meters, she felt the ground shaking, accompanied by a giant elephant roar that penetrated the clouds and cracked the rocks.
"Xiao Hei, prepare to fight." Su Yan said.
"Chirp!"
Su Yan walked along the source of the sound, and a murky stream appeared in front of her eyes.
The giant pig elephant had obviously drank water here, but Su Yan glanced around and found no sign of the giant pig elephant.
At this moment, Su Yan suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck. She was shocked, and every pore on her body was completely opened at this moment...
Su Yan turned around with difficulty, and out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of a long elephant trunk swinging beside her...
"Xiao Hei, Thunder Blade Technique!" Su Yan quickly gave the order.
I saw Xiao Hei flying out from her shoulder in an instant, condensing a powerful thunder energy, and hitting the giant pig elephant with a sharp thunder blade!
Before the pig, giant elephant could react.
Su Yan ran away quickly!
