Dark Moon Era

Chapter 45: Bloody iron cage

Views:

Was it being targeted

This thought came to Tang Ling's mind again. Without using all his strength, he punched the abdomen at the right time, causing shock to the internal organs and vomiting blood.

Such a minor injury, in this era, would be fine even if ordinary people in the settlement took a half-day to recuperate.

Tang Ling, who had fought countless battles big and small, didn't even care.

But what happens just before the assessment

Tang Ling glanced at the unfamiliar face of the instructor and put this idea in his heart for the time being.

The continuous roars of beasts accompanied by a depressing atmosphere made the faces of the teenagers preparing for the assessment even more ugly.

Finally, someone stood up hesitantly.

No one wants to pay the price of their life for an exam. Even if they can't get into the first preparatory camp, other training camps are not without prospects.

With the first one, everything fell into place.

In less than two minutes, seven teenagers who were preparing to take the re-examination withdrew from the assessment.

"Is there more?" The instructor seemed to have expected it, and asked again with a sarcastic expression.

No one quits anymore.

"Look, garbage never makes it onto the stage. But protecting yourself wisely is obviously not the stupidest choice. At least having self-awareness is a good thing." Ruthless words are like a knife, but for those who are timid to escape, in this There is nothing wrong with the times even if they are a little more extreme.

This instructor seems to be full of bad taste, and naturally he will not miss the opportunity to trample on these withdrawn teenagers.

But at the end of his sentence, his eyes seemed to glance at Tang Ling unintentionally.

Tang Ling turned a blind eye.

What is self-knowledge? In the settlement, we face a life without food or death every day. How can we protect ourselves wisely

"Go away, you are no longer qualified to stay here." Perhaps feeling a little bored, the instructor sent away the few teenagers who chose to quit.

Then with a simple wave of his hand, the soldiers guarding the closed iron cage lifted the first closed iron cage into the huge iron cage.

The first beast was carefully released.

Silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf.

A cruel and cold-blooded 'killer', although not known for its strength, it is agile in speed and rare in cunning. Even the strongest hunter will avoid it when encountering it.

Because even if it is not hungry, it will kill all weak creatures it sees, so it is the primary target of expulsion by Ziyue warriors when patrolling.

Therefore, it is rarely seen in the jungle under the safety belt. Facing such a beast, there is no better way than to distinguish between life and death.

What about encountering it in an iron cage that is unavoidable

The young people participating in the assessment began to pant violently uncontrollably. They knew they were going to face a beast, but they didn't want to face such a dangerous beast.

The instructor glanced at the silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf coldly, made two exaggerated "tsk-tsk" sounds, and said in a tone of extreme disbelief: "Hey, let me see who is so lucky later? Just face to face. To such a weak guy."

Weak? Several people swallowed their saliva. Was the instructor kidding

Unfortunately, the instructor had no intention of changing his words. Instead, he walked up to the team and said directly: "The rules of this assessment are very simple. Those who can survive in the iron cage for ten minutes can pass."

"Of course, if you can kill those guys inside, you will pass the test. But I don't hold out such hope."

"Finally, out of the mercy of Safety Zone 17, if you can't persist, you can quit midway. However, it will take time to open the cage and save people. I hope you are lucky enough."

"Do you have any questions about this rule?"

"Instructor." This time, it was Auston who stood up. Perhaps because of his unusual status, he was not at all afraid of this cold instructor.

"explain."

"What is the order of the exam? According to the arrangement of our team? Then is the beast everyone encounters a silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf?" Auston's expression clearly showed that he felt that the silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf was a bit boring.

"Haha." The instructor sneered and said, "Don't expect me to remember your names, so the order in which your team is arranged is your number."

"When the time comes, I will randomly draw a number, and those who read the number will enter the iron cage."

"As for the silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf? As I said, these are very weak guys. Some guys may be stronger, but they are all within the category of beasts."

"But whatever you encounter, it all depends on luck."

"Luck is also a kind of strength, isn't it? This is simply a fairly fair assessment."

After saying this, the instructor looked at Auston: "Do you still have any questions?"

He still maintained basic patience with Auston.

"No more." Obviously, such random rules aroused some interest in him.

Similarly, Yu, who was standing at the front of the queue and looked a little lazy, also felt a little more energetic.

It's a pity that except for the two of them, the other teenagers were sweating even with their clenched fists. Is this considered a rule? Why is this assessment so cruel

Tang Ling lowered his head, but his breathing was always steady. He didn't understand the previous assessment, but he also noticed that this assessment was somewhat unusual.

The instructor didn't care what these teenagers were thinking and directly announced 'the exam begins'.

At the same time, the assessment assistant nearby had prepared a stack of tough paper with numbers written on it.

The instructor took it, washed it twice casually, and then read out the first number, '12'.

The team of reserve soldiers was quiet for a moment, and then the boy No. 12 slowly walked out. Although he tried hard to stay calm, his pale face and trembling lips had betrayed him.

It took him almost two minutes to reach the iron cage.

The instructor did not urge him, but moved a stool, lit a cigarette, and looked at it with a playful expression.

"It doesn't have a filter, it's not as good as Uncle Su Yao's cigarettes." Tang Ling paid attention to the inexplicable details until the soldier guarding the iron cage door loudly and impatiently asked No. 12, "Are you ready?" ', which interrupted Tang Ling's 'distraction'.

"Okay, open the door." Almost using up all his courage, No. 12 finally nodded and opened the door.

Perhaps because the atmosphere was not warm enough, the instructor took a deep breath from the cigarette and exhaled the smoke while shouting: "I forgot to tell you, in order for you to take the exam well, these guys have been hungry for five days. They will Very enthusiastic.”

After hearing these words, No. 12, who had finally mustered up the courage, subconsciously stepped back, but unfortunately, the soldier guarding the door had already pushed him into the iron cage without hesitation.

Then he quickly closed the iron cage.

And the reverberating sound of the door slamming made No. 12 almost close his eyes in despair.

But he didn't dare, because the silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf in the cage, less than 20 meters away from him, was looking at him indifferently.
