Early the next morning, Ling Jiu and the other newcomers were led by Instructor Bai Yang and several company Arcanists to the Arcanist Management Center.
The Arcanist Management Center was a government agency. In principle, all Arcanists in the entire Lantian Base City were under the management of the government. All Arcanists had to register with the Arcanist Management Center and accept the control of the Arcanist Management Center.
When they arrived at the management center, a large number of Arcanists had gathered in the large square in front of the door. Everyone gathered together and chatted.
Among them were self-awakened Arcanists from society and those who had been eliminated in previous years.
In addition, there were many news media.
The annual rookie training assessment was a major event in Lantian Base City. The entire assessment process was broadcast live from the opening to the end, demonstrating the importance the government attached to newly awakened Arcanists.
At nine o'clock, the opening ceremony officially began. The relevant leaders, company representatives, and Arcanist representatives spoke... After all the speeches were over, the assessment officially began.
All the newcomers got into the car and left Lantian Base City for the wilderness.
This was Ling Jiu's first time in the wilderness of this world, and he could not help but look around curiously.
Weeds and trees grew on both sides of the dilapidated highway, and the grass by the roadside was also full of broken vehicles, tires, shared bicycles, bones, and messy garbage. It was the polar opposite of the clean and tidy base city.
Looking at the scene, Ling Jiu could imagine what it was like when the disaster broke out 30 years ago: Direbeasts began to wreak havoc, countless people fled in panic, and there was no time to drive away. Buses and shared bicycles were abandoned by humans...
In the end, even the place where they lived was abandoned!
"The wilderness is so desolate!"
"I can't believe it's like this outside the base city!"
"Is that a lake? It's so big! I've never seen such a big lake in my life! And that forest, I can't see the end of it! "
Although the wilderness was desolate and primitive, there were scenes that the base city could not compare to. Lakes, forests, mountains, towering trees, fields...
All of this made this group of youths who had never left the base city since they were young dumbfounded!
Ling Jiu also sighed. Compared to his previous life, the living space of this world had been sharply compressed, and large areas of habitation had become wilderness.
But...
The sky was bluer.
The water was greener.
The air was fresher.
The natural environment was much better than in his previous life.
"Everything has its pros and cons, and disasters are no exception. Perhaps, in a sense, this disaster may be a way for Earth to protect itself!"
Time passed quickly, and after more than an hour, the convoy finally arrived at their destination — Caijiapo County.
Everyone got off the car.
"Do you see this dilapidated county in front of you? This is the destination of this assessment, Caijiapo County. Thirty years ago, following the invasion of Direbeasts, Caijiapo County was occupied by Direbeasts. Since then, it has become a paradise for Direbeasts! "
Director Yang of the Arcanist Management Center held a megaphone and shouted, "All these years, our Lantian Base City has been committed to the expansion and expansion of the base city, and Cai Jiapo has a very good environment, which is an important target for expansion!"
"So, for the past few years, we have been cleaning up the Direbeasts in Caijiapo County. As of now, all the powerful Direbeasts have been cleaned up, and there are only a large number of Class 1 and Class 2 Direbeasts left. So, we have chosen this place as the assessment venue this year!"
"Your mission is simple: Enter Caijiapo County, wipe out the remaining Direbeasts, and bring out their hearts!"
"Remember, safety first, assessment second. Under the premise of ensuring safety, try not to team up as this will lower your evaluation!"
"Assessment duration: three days!"
...
The county was dilapidated. The streets were littered with Direbeast feces, bones, and wreckage. Shops and tall buildings were covered with plants. Everything made this county look like a lost city in the movies!
Ling Jiu could not help but sigh as he walked along the grass-covered streets. In just 30 years, a good county had become like this.
Whoosh!
Just as Ling Jiu was lamenting, a strong gust of wind came from behind. Ling Jiu's heart skipped a beat. He quickly moved two meters to the side to avoid the attack from behind.
Swoosh!
A large dog brushed past his body and flew forward, then landed steadily on the ground.
It was a two-meter-long giant canine Direbeast with a mane of steel needles all over its body, and four 10-centimeter-long canine teeth.
"A Class 1 Direbeast, Sabretooth Hound!"
Ling Jiu recognized it.
Over the past six months, in addition to practicing the Kraken Absorption Technique to absorb Gene Arcana and control Arcana, they had also learned theoretical knowledge related to Arcana and Direbeasts, including how to identify Direbeasts.
Ling Jiu was confident that he could basically recognize any Direbeast that was recorded.
The Sabretooth Hound in front of him had evolved from a husky. But unlike a husky, it was extremely ferocious, aggressive, and fast. Its bite force was even more terrifying than a lion's.
"Woof!"
The Sabretooth Hound stared at Ling Jiu with a fierce look in its eyes. It let out a high-pitched roar as it leaped high and bit at Ling Jiu's neck.
With its terrifying bite force, Ling Jiu had no doubt that his head would explode if he was bitten by it.
"Good one!"
Ling Jiu grabbed the air, grabbed a stone out of thin air, and threw it at the Sabretooth Hound. The watermelon-sized stone was as light as a feather in his hand, and it moved at an astonishing speed.
Baaaam!
The stone hit the Sabretooth Hound in the middle of its mouth. With a loud crack, it broke the Sabretooth Hound's teeth and smashed into the Sabretooth Hound's head.
"Awooo!"
The Sabretooth Hound let out a blood-curdling scream as it was sent flying.
"I'll kill you while you're down!"
Ling Jiu stomped on the ground, and a series of earth spikes emerged from the ground and pierced through the Sabretooth Hound's heart with a strange sound.
"Woof!"
The Sabretooth Hound's eyes rolled back, and it went completely silent. Worried that it was playing dead, Ling Jiu smashed its head with the stone.
He then took out a knife, pulled out the Sabretooth Hound's heart, and put it into the Dimensional Bag.
The Dimensional Bag was said to be a pouch for dimensional kangaroos. It usually had a space of about a hundred cubic meters and was a very useful dimensional storage tool.
However, this thing was very expensive, and ordinary Arcanists could not afford it. Ling Jiu's company had lent it to him temporarily, and he would have to return it after the assessment.
