Am I being targeted?
The thought popped up in Tang Ling's mind again. The punch that he did not use his full strength had landed on his abdomen, causing his organs to be shaken and vomiting blood.
In this era, even a normal person in the settlement would be fine after resting for half a day.
Tang Ling, who had killed countless people, big and small, would not care.
However, what if it happened right before the exam?
Tang Ling glanced at the instructor's unfamiliar face and discarded the thought in his heart.
The continuous roars of the beasts coupled with the oppressive atmosphere made the young warriors who were preparing for the exam look even worse.
Finally, someone stood up hesitantly.
No one wanted to risk their life for an exam. Even if they could not get into the First Reserved Camp, the other training camps were still promising.
With the first one, everything went smoothly.
In less than two minutes, seven of the young warriors who were preparing for the second exam dropped out.
"Anyone else?" The instructor seemed to have expected it as he repeated his question with a mocking expression.
No one else dropped out.
"Look, trash can never be put on the table. However, staying out of harm's way isn't the stupidest choice. At least, it's good to know your place. " The merciless words were like a knife, but to the cowards who ran away from the exam, it was understandable for them to go a little overboard in this era.
The instructor seemed to have a wicked taste in his mouth, so he would not let go of the chance to trample on the young warriors who dropped out.
However, at the end of his sentence, his eyes unintentionally glanced over at Tang Ling.
Tang Ling turned a blind eye.
What was knowing one's place? Every day in the settlement was a life of no food and death. There was no such thing as staying out of harm's way.
"Get lost. You don't have the right to stay here anymore." The instructor might have felt bored, so he sent the young warriors who chose to drop out away.
With a simple wave of his hand, the warrior guarding the first cage carried the first one into the bigger one.
He then carefully released the first beast.
It was a silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf.
It was a cruel and cold 'killer'. Although it was not known for its strength, it had agility and a rare cunning. Even the strongest hunter would avoid it if they encountered it.
Even if it was not hungry, it would kill all the weak creatures it saw. It was the main target of the Purple Moon Warriors during their patrols.
That was why it was rarely seen in the dense forest of the Secondary Safety Zone. Against such a beast, there was no better way than to fight to the death.
What about encountering it in the iron cage where it was unavoidable?
The youths participating in the assessment began to pant uncontrollably. They knew that they were going to face a wild beast, but they didn't want to face such a dangerous beast.
The instructor, however, cast a cold glance at the silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf and clicked his tongue in an exaggerated manner. He then said with an extremely unbelieving tone, "Yo, let me see who's the lucky one? I only have to face those weak fellows. "
Weak? A few people swallowed their saliva. Was the instructor joking?
Unfortunately, the instructor had no intention of changing his mind. Instead, he walked to the front of the group and said, "The rules of this assessment are very simple. Anyone who can survive in the cage for ten minutes will be able to pass. "
"Of course, if you can kill those fellows inside, you'll pass the test. But I don't have such hopes. "
"Lastly, out of the benevolence of Safety Sector No. 17, if you can't hold on any longer, don't worry. He could quit midway. But … it takes time to open the cage and save someone. I hope you're lucky enough. "
"Do you have any questions about this rule?"
"Instructor." This time, it was Orston who stood up. Maybe because of his unusual identity, he wasn't afraid of the cold instructor at all.
"Speak."
"What's the order of the test? According to the order of our group? Does everyone meet a silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf? "Orston's expression obviously showed that he thought the silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf was a little boring.
"Hehe." The instructor chuckled coldly and said, "Don't expect me to remember your names, so the order of your group will be your number.
When the time comes, I'll randomly pick your number. When the number is called, you'll enter the iron cage.
As for the silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf? I've said it before, it's a weak fellow. Some might be stronger, but they're still in the category of wild beasts.
But what you meet depends on your luck. "
"Luck is also a form of strength, isn't it? This is a very fair assessment. "
After that, the instructor looked at Orston. "Do you have any more questions?"
He maintained his basic patience towards Orston.
"No." It seemed like the random rules piqued his interest.
At the same time, Yu, who was standing at the front of the line, looked a little more energetic.
Unfortunately, other than the two of them, the other young warriors clenched their fists and were drenched in cold sweat. Is this even considered a rule? Why is this assessment so cruel?
Tang Ling lowered his head, but his breathing was steady. He did not understand the previous assessment, but he could tell that this one was a little unusual.
The instructor did not care what the young warriors were thinking. He announced the start of the assessment.
At the same time, the assistant beside him had prepared a stack of paper with numbers written on it.
The instructor took it and casually washed it twice. Then, he read out the first number, '12'.
The reserved warrior group went quiet for a while before No. 12 slowly walked out. Even though he tried his best to stay calm, his pale face and trembling lips betrayed him.
He spent almost two minutes before he reached the iron cage.
The instructor did not rush him. Instead, he moved a stool over and lit a cigarette, looking at the cage with a ridiculing gaze.
"There's no filter, so it's not as good as Uncle Su Yao's." Tang Ling paid attention to the strange details until the warrior guarding the iron cage asked No. 12 in an impatient tone, "Are you ready?" Only then did Tang Ling's mind wander.
"Al … Fine, open the door." After mustering all his courage, No. 12 finally nodded and signaled for the door to be opened.
Perhaps the instructor felt that the atmosphere was not lively enough, he took a deep puff of his cigarette and said as he blew out the smoke, "I forgot to tell you guys that in order to let you have a good time, these guys have been starving for five days. They'll be very passionate."
When he heard that, No. 12, who had finally mustered his courage, instinctively stepped back, but unfortunately, the warrior guarding the iron cage pushed him into it without a second thought.
He then quickly closed the iron cage.
The reverberating sound of the door closing made Number 12 close his eyes in despair.
