The scorching sun has turned the entire jungle into an unbearably hot furnace. Even if you close your eyes, you can feel a strong burning sensation. It seems that the moisture that you need to survive has been sucked out, making you weak and tired.
In addition to the tall trees and overgrown bushes covering the sky and the sun, the jungle is also full of buzzing poisonous insects and unknown traps. One must be vigilant all the time, and he will be eliminated at any time if he relaxes a little.
After picking apart a pile of dried poisonous insect corpses with a cane, Wang Yin looked back at the people behind him and said loudly.
"Let's walk all morning, and find an open space in front to rest later."
After he finished speaking, he quickly glanced at the silent man diagonally behind him imperceptibly, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.
The man met his gaze without saying a word, and continued walking without saying a word.
Only then did Wang Yin breathe a sigh of relief.
This time the ultimate test required a group of five people, and all five of them were B-level sentries, and Wang Yin, who had the highest score among the five people, naturally served as the captain of the team.
But in fact, he and Yue Qin in the team are loyal subordinates sent by the Yuan family to protect Young Master Yuan Chen.
The Yuan family is a huge family, and the descendants tried all kinds of insidious means to compete for the attractive Yuan family property, and even killed several illegitimate children. In order to protect the youngest Yuan Chen, the old man of the Yuan family sent him to a faraway place. The family's farthest Ole Academy, and sent the two of them to protect Yuan Chen personally.
The low-key Yuan Chen didn't let them reveal their identities, so they became classmates with Yuan Chen as college freshmen, and they kept dealing with the killers sent by other competitors in the family.
He and Yue Qin are actually elite A sentinels, and Yuan Chen, who has inherited the powerful genes of the Yuan family, has directly broken through to the S rank. Even in the whole world, he is the only one in the sky. Get rid of those low-level competitors of the Yuan family, and thus become the next head of the Yuan family.
But Yuan Chen chose to conceal the true strength of the three of them, and lived an ordinary life in Ole College as an ordinary B-level sentinel. Although Wang Yin didn't understand his intentions, he and Yue Qin were only Yuan Chen's subordinates, so naturally he had to obey All his orders.
Ole College is not the most top-notch college, but it is also one of the best. Its most special feature is that the college is located on an island. The closed management and special training methods have attracted many sentinels and guides to join.
The newly awakened sentries and guides will study separately in the first two years of Ole College. As freshmen, they still cannot fully control their instincts, so the teaching buildings and dormitories are protected by information partition networks.
In the next two years, mixed management will be carried out. Sentinels and guides will no longer be restricted. There is even a compulsory course that they take at the same time. The teacher will ask the guides in the class to conduct spiritual counseling exercises for the sentries. Grooming ability relieves the mental pressure of the sentries, and on the other hand provides opportunities for them to be compatible with each other.
Some guides can't adapt to the sentinel's spiritual realm, so they will change partners and make new attempts. Sometimes when the compatibility is high, they will be together with each other naturally.
Sentinels will serve the country on the battlefield in the future. They are like the hardest wall of the country and cannot tolerate any mistakes. However, no matter how strong the sentry is, it will sometimes be disturbed by white noise, which will cause loss of control, and even completely lose all the abilities of the sentry, so the existence of the guide is very important.
Because only a guide can relieve their spiritual tension, just like a strong lock can protect absolute safety, and the guide is the only key for the sentries.
But what worries Wang Yin is that he has never seen Yuan Chen lose control, nor has he allowed any guide to approach him. Yuan Chen is like an emotionless robot, possessing terrifying rationality and calmness.
But in fact, the higher the level, the easier it is for the sentinels to lose control of their minds. With strong abilities, they cannot withstand long-term mental pressure. Terrible impact.
So the sooner a matching guide is found, the safer they will be.
Since there is no guide that the young master likes in the academy, let's look for it after graduation. The young master is so powerful that only the best guides are worthy of him.
Putting away those untimely thoughts, Wang Yin took out a bottle of water from his backpack, walked to Yuan Chen and handed it to him, saying.
"Drink some water."
Yuan Chen's tone of refusal was very light, but there was no doubt about it.
"It's enough for me, no more."
He is an S-rank sentinel, and his physical fitness is naturally stronger than Wang Yin and Yueqin's. After walking for a whole morning, he didn't show a trace of fatigue, and his face was as peaceful as if he was on an outing.
After receiving the expected rejection, Wang Yin didn't insist anymore.
This island is specially used by the college for the ultimate test. The ultimate test not only tests the survivability of the Sentinels, but also requires them to use special harmless weapons to eliminate other Sentinels. Only the last one is the winner.
However, the people in each group are bound, that is to say, as long as one person survives to the end, the other four will also be considered winners, and will have a rich reward second only to that person.
This is to increase the team's belief in cooperation, and it will also be the same on the battlefield in the future.
A small amount of water, food and weapons are hidden on the island for the sentinels to snatch. Only by finding them first can the chances of continued survival and victory be increased.
The food and water that each of them carried at first was extremely limited. Now that the time for the final test is less than half, everyone has very little water and food left, so they have to rely on their own strength to find the hidden food and water on the island.
After resting for a while, Wang Yin glanced at everyone's deflated backpacks and stood up actively.
"I'm going to find water and food nearby, you wait for me here."
The other two, who were exhausted, saw Wang Yin's kindness and thanked him gratefully.
Yue Qin was worried that he would go alone, just as he was about to say something, he saw Yuan Chen who was sitting next to him also stood up and said.
"I am coming too."
Wang Yin was stunned for a moment, then signaled Yueqin with his eyes to stay and protect the other two, and then went to look for water and food with Yuanchen.
They searched around, and finally found two bottles of water and three packs of compressed biscuits.
Wang Yin breathed a sigh of relief and asked Yuan Chen.
"There should be nothing nearby, shall we go back?"
Yuan Chen glanced at the deeper jungle, the sharp-edged outline was dyed with a thin layer of light by the violent sunlight, but the eternal condensation between the brows became more and more vivid, almost cutting people.
He listened carefully, then stared northwest, and said in a deep voice.
"There are people over there."
Wang Yin immediately became vigilant, and the two tiptoed to the northwest, and after quietly pushing aside a large clump of half-height weeds, they saw a group of guides resting in the open space not far away.
Both Sentinel and Guide's ultimate tests are held on the island, but the content is completely different. Compared with the more combative Sentinels, the content of the test for the guides is that each of them uses the spirit to guide the Mechanical Sentinels.
The mechanical sentinel is an NPC produced by the academy. The insanity in the brain varies from mild to severe. The higher the level of insanity that is channeled, the higher the score the guide will get. The final ranking is arranged according to the score from high to low. There is no elimination system.
In order to promote the harmony between the sentry and the guide, the academy did not prohibit the communication between the two parties. Even if the guide provided spiritual counseling for the sentry of the academy, they would get extra points. Therefore, many guide teams and sentry teams would propose cooperation after encountering each other.
Wang Yin originally wanted to make this suggestion, but he remembered that Yuan Chen had never received any guidance from a guide in the past two years, so he couldn't help hesitating a bit.
He turned his head to ask Yuan Chen, but he saw that Yuan Chen was staring at the guiding team intently, his expression was still very calm, but there seemed to be some differences.
The two-way indifferent black eyes overflowed with a rare deep emotion, which belonged to the natural predatory desire of the sentries.
But it was just a quick flash, which quickly made Wang Yin think he was wrong.
Yuan Chen pushed aside the jungle without looking sideways, raised his foot and walked towards the guide team, and gave concise instructions.
"Team together."
Wang Yin was stunned for a few seconds before he followed him and walked over.
The guide who was resting was surprised to see the appearance of Yuan Chen and Wang Yin, because the guides with weak attack power would be in trouble when encountering the mechanical sentry, and with the help of the sentry, they could subdue the mechanical sentinel faster.
In addition, the guide can not only get extra points by guiding the sentry, but also the sentry's perception is more sensitive than the guide, and it can find the water and food and the mechanical sentinel hidden on the island faster. Benefit without harm.
Since Yuan Chen made the decision to form a team, he stopped talking and returned to his usual taciturn appearance. Wang Yin could only walk over with a smile and ask.
"Aren't the guides also in groups of five? Why are there only two of you?"
A handsome guide shrugged and replied frankly.
"Two people left early."
The living environment on the island is harsh, and everyone wears a special signal device made by the academy on their wrists. After the guide guides five mechanical sentries, he is eligible to press the signal device to request early exit, and his grades will still be retained.
Therefore, in the final test, many wizards will choose to quit early after obtaining basic points.
Wang Yin nodded clearly and offered a suggestion.
"Then do you want to form a team with us? We have five people who can protect you."
The guide thought for a while, then turned to ask the person behind him who was sitting cross-legged and rubbing his feet.
"Captain, shall we form a team?"
The man raised his head to reveal a beautiful face, the sun made him sweat a little, and tiny beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, shining like pearls.
He glanced at Wang Yin and Yuan Chen, curved his lips and said with a smile.
"Of course it's going to end. If there are sentries, more points will be added."
Wang Yin did not expect that this guide team was Jiang Fu's guide team. Although the sentries and guides studied different courses, he had heard of Jiang Fu's name for four years, and this name has always been firmly ranked first. Not only is the guide outstanding in ability, but he is also first-class in appearance. He is the subject of lively discussions among the sentries in the dormitory every night.
It's just that even if it became mixed management in the next two years, he has never heard of Jiang Fu doing spiritual counseling for any sentinel. If he is lucky enough to be spiritually counseling after forming a team with Jiang Fu, then Wang Yin will go back He must be the envy of all the sentries.
He stared blankly at the two guides starting to pack their things, and when Yuan Chen took their backpacks without saying a word, he suddenly came back to his senses, and hurried over to show his courtesy.
The other guide is Jiang Fu's roommate and good friend, Qixiu. He has a lively and optimistic personality, and he is very familiar with him. But when he walked to the resting place of the sentries, he was already chatting with Wang Yin in full swing.
Jiang Fu was so tired from walking that he just sat and rubbed his feet to feel better. He glanced at Yuan Chen, who was carrying his backpack in a muffled voice, and there was an imperceptible smile in his black eyes .
After learning that a guide joined, the three sentinels who were standing in place were also very excited. They changed their plan to camp in place and asked the guide to provide them with spiritual counseling.
Qixiu's counseling ability is also very strong, and he has always been in the top three without falling. After he enthusiastically counseled the four of them, he did not show much fatigue. He happily ran to Jiang Fu to show off his new skills. Extra points.
The sentinels who were sitting scattered also looked at the two guides who were talking together, and one of them sighed with emotion in a low voice.
"Jiang Fu really doesn't give spiritual counseling to anyone, is he going to leave it for his future sentinels?"
I'm really envious.
The sentries thought silently.
In the evening, everyone went into the tent to sleep, and the five sentries took turns to watch the night in groups of two.
After Yuan Chen was replaced, he didn't enter the tent, but walked towards the woods not far away, Yue Qin quickly followed and asked.
"where are you going?"
Yuan Chen glanced at him and said.
"I'll take a pee, don't follow."
Yue Qin knew that Yuan Chen didn't want him and Wang Yin to follow him all the time, and Yuan Chen's S-level strength was there, so he didn't need to worry at all.
So he hesitated for a moment, and went back to the tent by himself first.
The woods in the middle of the night were covered with a layer of dark shadows, and all the movements were magnified infinitely in the silence. Yuan Chen walked through the woods, and the direction of walking was determined by the light sniff between his nose.
Not long after, he had left the camp far behind and stopped among the staggered tall trees.
The sweet pheromone suddenly approached from behind, someone blindfolded his eyes, and the voice close to his ears was soft and pleasant, wrapped in triumphant cunning.
"Guess who I am?"
Yuan Chen smiled, took off his hand, turned around and hugged his flexible and slender body, clasped the back of his neck and kissed him deeply.
