What Li Yi didn't know was that the place of trial had been greatly affected since the war a few years ago.
Originally, the trial place was just a gathering activity similar to hunting. In addition to regularly reducing the number of monsters, its purpose was to train newcomers from major forces.
This is also where the name of the place of trial comes from.
Then this time, two years after the war started, when people finally gathered people and entered the trial sites in various regions again, they found that something seemed different.
"ah!"
A scream rang out, and only a vague shadow could be seen flashing past in the mist. The number of people in an adventure team dropped again from the original nine.
There are only seven people left!
A trace of panic flashed across the leader's face, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice.
"Don't panic, everyone. Although this kind of monster is very fast, as long as we defend ourselves well and seize one opportunity, just once! We have caught him. Not only can we pass this section of the road smoothly, but we also have a chance to rescue our companions... ....”
"Um!"
Everyone's expressions were not very good at first. Anyone who had lost two teammates in just a few minutes, with danger always lingering around them, would not look very good.
Encouraged by the captain, the remaining team members looked a little better.
One of the people dressed like a hunter thought for a while and suggested.
"Captain, why don't we just stay where we are? Anyway, we can't leave here until we kill that monster. I can make a few simple traps to slow him down a little, so that at least we can get more More chances to catch that abominable monster!"
The captain patted his thigh upon hearing this.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Hurry up and use whatever tricks you have. And if there is anything you can do to help, hurry up. This is no joke. You have also seen this trial. There have been some unusual changes in the monsters on the ground. Logically speaking, the monsters that just entered the fog should not be so strong..."
The captain of the adventure team was chattering endlessly, but the team members obviously had no intention of listening to him. They were all racking their brains, or taking action directly, thinking hard about whether there was something that could be used to deal with this predicament. trick on.
Fortunately, it was not that no one paid attention to him at all. The person who just volunteered to dress up as a hunter was obviously very familiar with this jungle environment.
While working hard to set up traps, he was still dealing with the captain's words.
"Yeah, I thought it was strange at first that there was no age limit for this trial. You know, I really wanted to come last time. Unfortunately, I was over the age limit. I thought I would never have the chance to participate in this life. I didn't expect this trial. There is no such restriction on refining..."
"It turns out, well, there really shouldn't be an age limit. This is what they call the second level. Oh my god! Is this level of speed really just a monster in the second level? Then in the core area How strong does a monster have to be?"
After a pause, he didn't seem to realize that apart from his voice, there was only the busy sound of other people on the field, and he continued.
"Anyway, if this level is passed, I will go back. With my strength, I don't think I have the ability to go forward. What do you think? If someone wants to go, then let's get together... ...Huh? Where is the captain?"
The man had just finished setting up a trap. He stood up and wanted to take a rest. He subconsciously wanted to take a look at where the backbone of the team was.
Looking around, I didn't find that tall figure with a magnetic voice that made people feel at ease. It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because that man's figure and tone give people a sense of security. , they will be attracted to that person and form this adventure team with him.
Where are people?
The hunter looked around blankly, but never saw that reassuring figure. Suddenly someone shouted, and strangely, the voice was full of an obvious emotion.
That's despair.
"Run...he ran away, the captain ran away!"
What! ?
The remaining six members of this temporarily formed adventure team that hadn't even thought of a name yet could hardly believe their ears when they heard the news.
Because the combination of jungle and fog makes it impossible to see the environment clearly within a radius of ten meters. In this case, some people will naturally raise questions.
"You, how can you see? This kind of environment is simply..."
The person who had the courage to say this suddenly thought of something. Just when he was about to shout something, a whooshing sound of air bursting was heard. It was obvious that the object was moving faster than the speed of sound. This was not possible for this animal. For an adventure team whose average level is only a little over level two, this is already a terrifying speed that cannot be seen clearly.
Therefore, when the man opened his mouth, he was kidnapped again. After a while, his miserable cry for help was heard, but only half of the cry came out, and the sound suddenly stopped.
Hearing that scream that was by no means unfamiliar and even heart-stopping, the hearts of the remaining people sank, and an uncontrollable sense of despair came over them again.
It's that terrifying monster again that's so fast that it can't be identified with the naked eye.
The only difference is that this time the opponent seems to know how to use sound to induce, and is even imitating the voice of someone in the team.
Looking back now, the team members couldn't help but feel a chill.
Isn't the voice that the monster imitated just now the voice of the team member who was captured before? !
So, has the captured team member been killed?
For the members of this team, this is not the first time they have entered the trial site. Nor are they familiar with this extremely fast monster that will randomly acquire certain characteristics of the humans it kills. First time seeing it.
It's just that compared to before, this time they have to face it alone, without that kind of peak level four master around...
What's even more frightening is that the monster they encountered this time named "Soul Chaser Bird" was faster than the ones they saw before, and the time it took to "digest" a person was also shorter.
In other words, this soul-chasing bird has become stronger than before!
In addition to these, there is another point worth noting.
The person who just replied was farthest from everyone else and closest to the edge of the fog in terms of location.
In other words, his location is the closest to the way back.
This discovery made the hearts of the remaining people sink.
Although I don't want to admit it, this inconspicuous fact seems to verify something.
The soul-chasing bird seems to be cutting off their escape!
As long as you dare to go back, the person who was arrested just now will be an example!
For a moment, no one dared to say anything anymore, for fear that they would be the next victim.
Especially the hunter. Apart from the person who was captured when he replied, he could be said to have the most words.
So far, people have not found out what the rules are for this kind of soul-chasing bird to kidnap people every time. Some say it is based on strength, and some say it is based on body size. The soul-chasing bird will start with the smallest one first, and then follow up. The more people who eat it, the stronger it becomes, and the target of kidnapping will also become bigger.
Of course, no one has confirmed these claims.
The only clue in the scene just now is that before attacking, the soul chasing bird imitated a human voice.
Then the unfortunate guy replied and became the next victim.
In the distance, the screams of the unlucky guy who had just been captured could be heard incessantly. The sound was far and near, as if the distance was not too far away.
There was also a faint sound of flesh and blood being separated.
Everyone felt heartbroken after hearing this, but there was nothing they could do.
Based on previous experience, if the soul-chasing bird has started "dining" nearby, it means that he has targeted everyone here.
At the same time, he also has the ability to kill everyone next time and eat them all without leaving any one behind.
Because of such a short distance, if even the sound of "dining" can be heard so clearly, it means that as long as the soul chasing bird is willing, he can start a new round of killing at any time.
This is the reason why everyone feels despair.
"Run!"
Suddenly, someone didn't know who shouted, and the footsteps immediately became rapid and chaotic.
Several people set off almost at the same time, and five people fled in different directions.
There is only one thought in their minds:
Don't catch me, don't catch me!
Go eat others!
