Monster Paradise

"Now, please cooperate with our staff to inspect the storage space." After Yi Yeyu finished speaking, she nodded to the twelve staff members who had been waiting at the side.

The 12 people began to check everyone's storage space one by one.

"All weapons, offensive equipment, defensive equipment, and other auxiliary equipment that exceed the rank of black iron are not allowed to be carried. All medicines, except for healing medicines, medicines that can produce toxic reactions to the human body, including septicemia medicines, are not allowed Carry. Equipment that has been poisoned must be cleaned before it can be used. If you refuse to cooperate with the cleaner, the equipment will be temporarily confiscated."

"Also, all food and water are not allowed to be carried, and all auxiliary equipment that can be used for climbing are not allowed to be carried..."

While pacing in front of everyone, Yi Yeyu loudly announced the types of items that were not allowed to be carried.

Twelve staff members cleaned up one by one, and quickly cleared out a lot of things.

Most of the things that were cleaned up were food and water. Some people secretly carried bronze-level equipment and were searched. There were also a few people who had poisoned their weapons with blood-septic potion. They were all checked out and washed clean with cleaning potion.

Even the food and water in Lin Huang's storage space were found out, and even the military water bottle he specially bought was almost confiscated, but he poured the water upside down in front of everyone. The staff just gave up.

Lin Huang's armor-piercing explosive bombs were also checked out. The staff brought the explosive bombs to Yi Yeyu and questioned them before returning them.

Yi Yeyu saw that the explosive bombs were just ordinary firearms. Even at close range, they could barely have the attack power close to the bronze level, and there were only ten of them, so they didn't embarrass Lin Huang.

When the staff returned the explosive bombs, Lin Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was one of his means of self-protection, and of course he didn't want it to be confiscated.

After some inspections were completed, it was past nine o'clock.

After all the staff confirmed that there was nothing missing, and sent the emergency rescue device to everyone present, Yi Yeyu spoke again, "We will temporarily store the things we found from you until the assessment is completed. After that, it will be returned intact.”

"The current time is 9:23 in the morning, and I will let you earn 7 minutes. Those who can reach the destination before 09:30 in the morning after fifteen days will be counted as passing this assessment."

"Before the assessment officially starts, I want to tell you one last piece of bad news. During the assessment period, the network connection function, communication function, and map guidance and positioning functions of your emperor's heart ring will all be closed. Only the access function of items can be used. .”

Yi Yeyu's words caused another howl. Even Lin Huang didn't expect that he would be swayed by this woman in the end.

As the chief examiner, Yi Yeyu seemed to enjoy everyone's wailing, the corners of her lips slightly raised, "Now, I officially announce that the assessment begins!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a small number of people rushed out, and many people who were still crying quickly followed after seeing this.

As the weakest person in the entire team, Lin Huang's speed was the slowest. He didn't run like the others, but followed at a normal walking speed.The fat man said hello, and trotted away with the people in front.

Lin Huang didn't follow for a long time, and he couldn't see the figure in front of him, but he didn't speed up, and continued to move forward firmly at the original speed.

Seeing Lin Huang's back walking away, Yi Yeyu, the chief examiner, shook his head, "I thought there was something special about this kid, but it seems that he is really just an ordinary person. With his speed, he can walk 40 miles a day. Kilometers are not bad, and he may not even be able to cover half of the [-]-day assessment period."

The reason why Lin Huang didn't follow was not that he didn't want to follow, but that he couldn't.He is just an ordinary person, his physical fitness and physical strength are completely different from those of the Black Iron Rank.If he runs like those guys from the Black Iron Rank, he will be completely worn out in less than half a day. The environment in this desert is so severe that he really has to withdraw from the assessment at that time.

As soon as the chief examiner Yi Yeyu mentioned the assessment area and assessment content in the morning, Lin Huang began to search the Internet for information such as maps of the Chijin Desert, and quickly drew up a battle plan in his mind.

In the fifteen days, at least two days must be reserved for climbing the snow-capped mountains, and at most only thirteen days can be used to cross the 1500-kilometer desert.In other words, you have to walk more than 115 kilometers a day.And that's without taking into account the time wasted looking for food and water.

Lin Huang knew very well that deserts were not flat lands. He had traveled in deserts before on Earth.An ordinary person can travel at a speed of up to 4 kilometers per hour in the desert, and very few people can walk more than 5 kilometers per hour.What's more, I have to rest at night, and my ability to walk forty or fifty kilometers a day is already the limit.In fifteen days, he could only cover half of the distance if he was exhausted.

A strong person at the black iron level has several times stronger physical fitness than ordinary people, and his physical strength and endurance are also very human. It is possible to run hundreds of kilometers in a day, but it is impossible for Lin Huang to do it.

Therefore, Lin Huang turned his idea to some monsters in the desert, especially the fast-moving ones that can be used as mounts.

Relying on his ability to accumulate card fragments and obtain the ability of monster cards to summon monsters, he has already made plans and memorized the locations of several monster strongholds.

Although it takes some time to accumulate card fragments, the native creatures in the desert can move much faster in the desert than humans of the same rank.The lost time can definitely be made up for by the advantage of speed.

Lin Huang's direction of travel quickly deviated from the direction of the people in front of him. His destination was no longer the destination, but a stronghold of Shatu that he had seen on the map before.

Shatu belongs to a branch of the giant humanoid species. They are fat and huge, and they feed on all kinds of flesh and blood.Their appearance is somewhat similar to that of humans, and they also walk upright on two feet, but they are more like deformed children.Some have two or three heads, and some have only one head, but there may be an extra mouth or a few eyes.

The Shatu of the Black Iron Step is at least five meters tall, and the tallest can even grow to ten meters. His strength is several times stronger than that of the human Black Iron Step, and his attack power is astonishing.In fact, they were not Lin Huang's first choice for traveling.

One of the reasons why Lin Huang stared at them was because they lived in groups, and he needed to hunt a lot quickly to get enough fragments to assemble a complete monster card.Another main reason is that their stronghold is very close to the entrance A of the Chijin Desert.

Lin Huang walked along the planned route for most of the day without even drinking a sip of water, and finally arrived at Shatu's stronghold when it was getting dark.Lin Huang had known for a long time that this was also the location of a water source, and there was a freshwater lake not far from Shatu's stronghold.

Chapter 16

Lin Huang sneaked around to the lake to get a pot of water, took a few sips, put the lid on the pot, and then began to hibernate again, patiently waiting for the night to fall.

Monsters like Shatu have poor eyesight, and their physiological structure also makes them resistant to heat and frost, and they are not afraid of sunlight and sandstorms, so they usually hunt during the day.But at night, their visual range will be greatly reduced, and there is no distinction between humans and animals a hundred meters away. If they are not too hungry, they will not choose to hunt at night.

Not long after Lin Huang lurked, night fell.

It was a gloomy night, and the stars could only be seen vaguely in the sky, but it was more suitable for Lin Huang to hunt.

Lin Huang began to quickly approach the stronghold of Shatu. He had been observing this stronghold for a while. There were more than 30 Shatu in total. Judging from the size, none of them exceeded ten meters, and they were all of the strength of the Black Iron Step.

Shatu's IQ is not high, but perhaps because he has seen human strongholds, a fence is surrounded around their strongholds, and simple sheds are even set up in the place where they live.These more than 30 Shatu and those simple sheds are put together, which looks like a small human village.

Lin Huang circled around the fence, and some Sha Tu had already started to sleep, and there was a loud snoring sound.Lin Huang locked his target on a Shatu who was about five meters tall. This Shatu should only have the first rank of Heitie in size and strength, and he was sitting in his shed buckling his feet.After clasping his feet, he stuffed his fingers into his mouth and stuffed them clean, which made Lin Huang feel nauseous.

He even began to doubt whether it was a wise move to assemble the fragments of this monster into a monster card to summon it.

However, time was running out, and he quickly got rid of his distracting thoughts.

Picking up a stone on the ground, he threw it through the head-sized gap in the fence towards the Shatu who had no hygiene habits at all.

Shatu, who was hit by the stone, picked up the stone thrown by Lin Huang with some doubts, and then looked in the direction where the stone flew. He saw something behind the fence at a glance.Although the distance was not far, he still couldn't see what it was because it was blocked by a fence, so he stood up, picked up a big stick with a length of more than three meters on one side, and walked towards the fence.

Shatu eat a lot, and usually they are rarely able to eat enough, so when prey comes to their door, they will not refuse to add food.

Behind the fence, Lin Huang watched the Sha Tu approaching step by step, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Shatu quickly walked to the edge of the fence, and when he lowered his head, he saw Lin Huang staring at him. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately swung the stone stick in his hand and smashed it down at Lin Huang.

Lin Huang turned around and fled towards a sand dune not far away. Seeing this, Shatu smashed the fence in front of him with a stick and chased after Lin Huang.

For Shatu, a creature with thin skin and tender flesh like a human is a rare delicacy. The first time he saw Lin Huang, his saliva was about to flow out.

Now that he saw the delicious food delivered to his door wanting to escape, he naturally refused to let it go easily.

As soon as Lin Huang crossed the sand dune, Shatu caught up with him. He raised his stick and threw it at Lin Huang.

But in the void, a blood shadow flashed across, and Shatu's movements stopped abruptly, his head rolled down from his neck, stinky blood spurted out frantically, and the headless corpse fell to the back of the dune with a bang.

Next to Shatu's body, an extra figure appeared at some point, it was a young man with white hair, and a pair of scarlet eyes that had completely faded to black.

"Bai, good job!" Lin Huang gave the boy a thumbs up.

After the last evolution, Bai, who is at the third level of black iron, is not far behind the monster of the bronze level. With the full burst of blood power, it is a piece of cake to cut off the head of a first-level black iron Shatu things.

With a sound of "ding", Xiao Hei's prompt sound came quickly, and the translucent prompt box in front of Lin Huang's eyes also jumped out.

At the same time, a large amount of white life light radiated from Shatu's body, rushing towards Bai's body quickly.

"I almost forgot that monsters can gain life by hunting each other." Although Lin Huang knew about this for a long time, it was the first time he saw such a scene.

In this world, monsters can take each other's lives, and the remaining lives of dead monsters will automatically flow into the hunter's body.But the human body is special, only when the strength is advanced, the body can absorb part of the monster's life on its own.This process is called the illumination of destiny.When hunting monsters at other times, unless you have a special life skill that can absorb the life light, otherwise the life light will only slowly dissipate and cannot be absorbed to the slightest.

But as Bai devoured the life light from Shatu's body, Lin Huang discovered that there was a change in his body.

In the life wheel in Lin Huang's body, the originally dim third scale of life light began to quickly fill and shine. Soon, the third circle of life light overflowed, and the fourth scale of life light began to light up, followed by the fifth space. The sixth frame... until the No.20 eight-block life light scale lights up, the life light that escaped from Shatu's body completely dissipated, and the life light on Bai's body gradually faded away, and the mutations in Lin Huang's body could barely stop down.

"What happened just now?!" Lin Huang had a shocked expression on his face. He never expected that the life light in his body would inexplicably skyrocket, almost from the third grid all the way in just a few seconds. It rose to No.20 eight grids.

Under normal circumstances, a scale in the life wheel represents a one-year lifespan. Because Lin Huang's innate life wheel was broken, his life light escaped ten times faster than ordinary people.There are only three scales left in his body and the life light is on. Originally, even the third scale is about to dim, and he can only live for more than two months at most.But now, the 28 life scale suddenly lit up, completely relieving his death pressure.But this good news came at a time that made him a little inexplicable.

"Xiao Hei, is the increase in life light in my body related to Bai's killing of Sha Tu just now?" Lin Huang can only give this guess.

Xiao Hei's explanation made Lin Huang a little unexpected. He finally felt relieved knowing that there was no problem with his body.

"Killing a Shatu increases the life light by more than 20 blocks. Doesn't it mean that if I kill a few more, my life light will overflow?!" Thinking of this, Lin Huang became a little excited.

Across the back of the dune, Lin Huang ran towards Shatu's stronghold again...

Chapter 17 Killing in a row

Across the sand dunes, Lin Huang saw two sand butchers surrounded by the fence that had just been destroyed. One was six or seven meters high, and the other was more than eight meters high. The smaller one should be black iron. The second level, the bigger one is very likely to have the strength of the third level of black iron.

Lin Huang hesitated for a moment, and trotted in the direction of the two Shatus.

The two Shatu who were about to repair the fence couldn't see Lin Huang clearly in the night. They only caught a glimpse of something approaching in the distance, and immediately widened their eyes and looked towards Lin Huang, trying to see what it was.

When Lin Huang walked to the middle of the sand dunes and the Shatu stronghold, the two Shatu finally saw clearly that it was a human being.Thinking of the delicacy of human beings, the two Shatu smashed the fence and chased Lin Huang.

Seeing this, Lin Huang turned around and ran away. As soon as he crossed the sand dune, two sand butchers chased him up.

Neither of the two big men held a weapon, they reached out and grabbed Lin Huang.

Lin Huang rolled on the spot and rolled down the sand dune.

There was a flash of blood in the void, the small Shatu's head had been cut off by a blood blade, and the headless corpse fell to the ground.

After a successful blow, Bai launched another attack on the second Shatu.

He jumped up high, reaching the height of Shatu's head, and his two blood energy wings turned into sharp blades, and slashed towards the big Shatu.

The death of his companion made the big Shatu vigilant a lot. Seeing the red light flashing in the void, he quickly raised his hand to block, although he didn't see clearly what was attacking him.

Under normal circumstances, the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Shatu has amazing defensive power. This kind of block can defend most of the attacks.But the enemy he faced was Bai, whose attack power was comparable to that of a bronze rank, and the strength of the blood blade transformed into blood energy was comparable to that of a bronze weapon. .

But Bai's blow still didn't have an effective attack effect, and he couldn't cut off his head directly.

Under the pain, Shatu opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but it was too late for Lin Huang to stop him, thinking that something was wrong in his heart.This sand dune is only a few tens of meters away from Sand Tu's stronghold. If he shouts out, it will definitely attract other Sand Tu.

But at this moment, a blood light flashed in the void again, turned into a sharp blade and stuffed it directly into Shatu's mouth, and directly penetrated out from the back of his head.

The pupils of the huge Shatu's eyes gradually dilated, and the bloody sharp blade was pulled out from his mouth, and his body collapsed to the ground without support.

Bai withdrew the blood blade, and the scarlet in his pupils faded again, returning to his original appearance as a harmless boy.

It wasn't until this time that Lin Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was really a close call just now. If Bai's action was a second later, he might suffer disaster.

In such a desert environment, surrounded and slaughtered by dozens of black iron-ranked sand slayers, I am afraid that even the bronze-ranked hunters may not be able to survive.

Xiao Hei's reminder soon came again.

At the same time as the reminder appeared, the white life light escaped from the corpses of the two Shatu again, and penetrated into Bai's body.

Lin Huang looked at the life wheel in his body with a sinking heart, and the life light scale inside the life wheel increased again. This time, it directly increased from 28 to 85.Even at ten times the speed of life light dissipation, Lin Huang can live at least another eight years now.

After calming down a little bit from the frightened mood just now, Lin Huang started his plan to trap and kill Sha Tu again.With the example just now, he didn't dare to take any more risks.

Every time he only traps and kills one, Bai's performance also exceeds Lin Huang's expectations. Every time he hunts and kills, he can almost kill with one blow without letting Shatu make any sound.

In this way, with Bai's help, Lin Huang killed three more Sha Tu.

So far, the blank 137 scales in his life wheel have been completely filled, and there are only gray areas left.

In this world, everyone has a life wheel in their body, and each person's life wheel has a 360-grid scale.However, there are two types of fate scales, one is a blank scale that can replenish life light, and the other is a gray scale that cannot replenish life light.

Most of the blank scales of the life wheel are only 100 to 150 divisions. When they are born, these blank scales are in a state of overflowing. These blank scales are also the innate life span of a person, which determines how long a person can live.

With the passage of time, the life light in the life wheel will automatically dissipate, and every year, the life light will decrease by one space.This kind of blank scale where the life light naturally fades, every year, there will be a gray scale that cannot be filled with life light again.Therefore, people's life expectancy is decreasing year by year.

If there is a disease in the body, or there is a natural problem with the life wheel, the dissipation speed of the life light will be accelerated.However, the transformation speed of the scale of the life wheel always changes by only one scale per year.

This is the case with Lin Huang's body.When his body was born, there were 152 blank scales in the life wheel.Now in the past 15 years, the blank scale has been reduced to 137 grids, but his life light escapes ten times faster than ordinary people, so in 15 years, his life light has receded by 150 grids, leaving only the last 2 grids.

Of course, the gray scale in the life wheel is not impossible to transform into a blank scale, but the cost of transformation is too high.

If each gray scale wants to be converted into a blank scale again, it must be reactivated with ten years of life light.Moreover, each scale can only be reactivated once.

In order to achieve the black iron rank, all the gray scales in the life wheel must be activated, so that the light of life fills the entire 360 ​​blank scales of the life wheel.

Rich and powerful people need to spend a lot of money to reach this step, and for the poor, it is even more difficult to reach the sky.

Each year of life shards requires 100 credits, and ten years of life shards can make up ten years of life.That is to say, only one million credit points can activate a gray scale.For the vast majority of people, there are more than 2 gray scales when they are just born, and the credit points needed for all activations are more than [-] million. This number is undoubtedly astonishing.

This is also why the identity of a hunter is very noble in this world, even if it is only a black iron-level reserve hunter, people will respect it wherever they go.

In the state where the blank scale in the life wheel was overflowing with life, Lin Huang saw his hope of being promoted to the Black Iron Realm, because he had an advantage that most people did not have. He could use Bai's physique to plunder the monster's life. .

Seeing a shortcut to quickly advance to the Black Iron Realm, Lin Huang's hunting motivation became stronger.

Chapter 18 Kill All!

According to the previous method, Lin Huang lured out the Shatus one by one and asked Bai to attack and kill them.

After more than an hour, the entire Shatu stronghold was slaughtered except for the last boss.Behind the sand dunes less than [-] meters away from Shatu's stronghold, huge corpses were spread all over the ground, and most of the heads were separated from their bodies.

In Lin Huang's life wheel, 52 of the original gray scales have been transformed into blank scales, and the life light has also overflowed.

Lin Huang also got 33 pieces of Sha Tu.In fact, when it reached 30 fragments, it was already possible to synthesize a first-order Black Iron Sand Tu, but Lin Huang chose to put it on hold for the time being and did not proceed with the synthesis.

Standing outside Shatu's stronghold, Lin Huang looked at the last Shatu from a distance.It was the largest one in the entire Shatu stronghold, with a height of nearly ten meters. Judging from the size alone, it can be judged that the strength of this big guy is not far from the Bronze Step.He should also be the leader of this Shatu stronghold. At this time, he was snoring loudly and fell asleep, unaware that all the other companions in the stronghold had been slaughtered.

Lin Huang took out the Gray Eagle 17 from the storage space, loaded 10 burst bombs into the barrel, and then tiptoed towards the last Shatu.

The wind whimpered in the desert, and Lin Huang's nostrils were filled with a sour smell, which made him feel sick. It was coming from the surrounding Shatu shacks.
