"Uh, where have they all gone?"
Due to some accidents, Lu Ping'an's previous "mission" was completely forgotten by him.
When he thought of those candidates, he realized that most of his "pets" were dead.
The strength and time of the monsters that can be controlled by "Bone Nail" are limited. Even if they are not dead, they are probably almost out of control now.
Thinking of this, Lu Ping'an quickened his pace and tried to catch up with his "team".
He is very fast, and when he is walking alone, these shallow monsters cannot stop him.
"......fine."
When Lu Pingan finally found those candidates, the situation was much better than expected.
The number of casualties was not large, and the number of wounded was within a sustainable range. The most important thing was that their expressions were not desperate enough, and they could obviously still hold on.
In a sense, this is the result of Lu Ping An’s accelerated “iteration”.
When Lu Ping'an discovered that the situation was getting out of control, he deliberately accelerated the elimination rate of "survival players", forcing them to continuously reduce their numbers, eliminate the weak and retain the strong, and constantly reorganize.
As an "examiner", he fulfilled his duties and selected reliable talents.
On the other hand, this rapid iteration also protects these newcomers...Those who lack strength are eliminated early, so they don't have to face increasingly harsh battlefields.
"...This time, it's not as simple as it sounds. It's not an exam at all..."
From the information obtained from Thunder Fire Blade, Lu Ping'an became more and more certain about what happened. It was indeed not suitable for the weak to survive now.
】
Changping played a big role this time. They tried to turn this place into a wild "hunting ground" to continuously train troops and provide resources. At the same time, they also gave the original guard freedom, which is equivalent to creating a top-level place out of thin air. Combat strength.
If you want to create a "hunting ground", you will naturally carry out a wave of cleanup, adjust the intensity of this war zone, and at the same time, clean up the unstable factors that are too dangerous.
"The candidates, us, and even the later joiners are just bait..."
This is still part of Changping, but it is almost completely foreign. However, most of it is still embedded in the earth, but it has become part of the endless abyss.
Well, it is still relatively independent... It refers to the world of the Endless Abyss. It is not so easy to come to this area. The high-level monsters and "lords" here are relatively limited.
On the human side, the Changping forces are fishing. When the other party bites the hook, they can naturally clear it at a fixed point.
Test the Abyss side's troop accumulation and high-level combat capabilities, and then clear out those that are obviously not suitable for "newcomers"... In this process, most of the bait will be naturally consumed.
The information Lu Ping'an obtained before was incomplete and just a guess, but now it has been verified.
Thunder Fire Blade's invitation was quite direct, but even Lu Ping'an thought he was bold.
"...Our two weapons, even the higher-level abyss monsters, may not be able to withstand it. When the battlefield falls into chaos, we can kill a few big fish. But if the lower level of the abyss is empty, we Maybe you can go down and take a walk..."
This invitation goes straight to hell.
But don't mention it, if it is really done, whether it is the possible "reward" for killing a super monster, or the wealth brought by stealing the abyss lord's hometown, it will be a legend of becoming rich overnight with a small gain. .
Lu Pingan estimated that this invitation should be serious and relatively reliable.
He, Thunder Fire Blade, can't afford to watch his sister die...right?
Of course, the most important thing is that Thunder Fire Blade does have a reason to do this.
His profession "Alopos Executor" requires him to constantly kill "sinners", especially when he advances... What other creature is more evil and sinful than a destroyer like the Abyss Lord? , fallen.
Lu Pingan estimated that this was probably his advancement ceremony, otherwise there would be no need to fight against a monster of this level.
Thunder Fire Blade took out the map, intelligence, informants, and special equipment of the lower realm. It was obvious that he had prepared for it. It seemed that if he made a bet, he might succeed.
"Thank you, you are a good man, but I refuse."
Lu Pingan, however, refused directly without giving any face.
It's not that he is not tempted, but that he doesn't have the need... His income does not mainly come from killing. Although the adventure is a huge improvement, the risks are also huge. He has no interest in risking his life for nothing.
Even if he didn't get the mantra this time, he didn't lose anything. Anyway, he would have to go to a foreign land in the future, and he might not be able to use it there.
Seeing Lu Ping'an's rejection, Lei Huo Ren didn't say much and left directly.
Lu Ping'an was not in his original plan, he was just here to deliver cat food... He knew that if he gave it directly to Shui Yun, Shui Yun wouldn't take it. At best, he would save it, which would be meaningless.
And if it were left to Lu Ping An, Lu Ping An would have a way to use it all on Maomao. As for whether he would ever make a fortune or just be greedy... Although there is no reason, Lei Huo Ren felt that Lu Ping An He won't do this. This is not a tacit understanding between men, it's just because Lu Ping'an doesn't want to and doesn't disdain it.
"...It's a pity, with this weapon and this armor."
Seeing Lu Pingan's "Abyss Beheading Sword", Thunder Fire Blade was immediately moved... While their abilities restrain each other, it actually means that the two sides are also complementary in terms of ability configuration. If Lu Pingan takes the lead, , if Thunder Fire Blade is given the opportunity to sneak attack, the success rate of the plan will increase significantly.
But since Lu Pingan doesn't want to, there's no point in emphasizing it. Lu Pingan is not a person who can persuade with words.
Thunder Fire Blade left to carry out his "plan" alone. Time was very precious to him and too much had been wasted.
On Lu Ping'an's side, it seemed that he had come full circle and returned to his original point, starting to perform his job as an "examination accompanist".
He first gathered the rest of his herd... some of them were directly killed by the candidates and monsters, and some of them naturally lost control.
After taking a look at the situation, he planned to "clean it all up" directly.
The bone nail's ability has reached its limit, and there is no point in continuing to control it, especially now that there are more and more monsters here, and he is not worried about the amount of materials.
In fact, because the materials are getting better and better, he is hesitant to use another ability to permanently acquire more magic pets.
In his courtyard, the animal taming zoo is already full of creatures, and normal research and iterative evolution are in progress. It seems good to create an additional abyss branch.
He focused on observing the candidates' situation remotely while restraining and adjusting his new herd, intending to give those candidates a little surprise.
However, before the "surprise" matured, his shock came first.
"The road is safe, meow! I finally found you, meow!"
At this time, the cat suddenly appeared from behind the mountain. The ghost cat instantly turned into reality and shocked Lu Ping'an.
"I, I...I...what do you want from me?"
Lu Ping'an almost let it slip. Thinking of the Thunder Fire Blade that had just separated, he also lost his composure for a rare moment.
He subconsciously wanted to tell some nonsense, saying that he had not seen a certain person, but he almost broke the "promise" of the contractor... Well, this was probably a guilty conscience.
"Something happened, meow! Something happened to Sister Xia Qin, meow!"
"What? She met your brother... well, what trouble did she encounter?"
"She went to the bottom of the abyss, meow! She wanted me to tell you, meow!" Thinking of Sister Xia jumping straight down, the cat almost burst into tears.
Now, Lu Ping'an couldn't hold himself any longer.
Xia Qin is already at the fourth level and her strength is pretty good, but now she is going to the deep abyss? Is it too happy to have someone collect the body after death?
Could it be that she saw the Thunder Fire Blade going down and chased after it?
However, the development of facts was unexpected and reasonable.
"Someone on our side was kidnapped by the abyss monster, meow, and brought to the lower level! Sister Xia saw it and jumped down to save him, meow!"
Lu Ping'an covered his face helplessly. This was so in line with her "personality" and so similar to what Xia Qin would do that it was impossible to refute it.
"What...did she say?"
"She said that there are many people below who have been kidnapped. If you can, please save Meow. By the way, Meow, she said she also brought a signal transmitter."
Lu Pingan sighed helplessly and stood up directly. Behind him, the herd of beasts was gathering.
"Wait a moment, I'll send these candidates home first."
With that said, the giant knight of flames came again, and this time, he really came with murderous intent.
"Time is limited. Keep everything simple. This is your last chance. If you can't hold on, just give it to me and take the exam again next year."
