The additional test didn't have a time limit, and they couldn't use flying tools. Of course, it was a different story if they were like Zani who could fly.
There weren't too many rules to avoid them. They could form groups or teams. Therefore, the five people in Celine's dormitory moved together.
From the start, Silin noticed that Teita's expression was a little strange. Compared to Libero and Ironhead, who were full of distress, Teita looked more like he was happy to see an old friend. He just tried his best to maintain a serious expression.
Although Teita wasn't big, his stamina was quite good. At least he didn't fall behind.
In order to avoid the animals behind them, there would probably be some animals that would cause trouble on the road ahead. Silin and the others saw an unlucky guy being thrown backwards by a black gorilla by the leg. The tigers, leopards, bulls and snakes wouldn't be too bad either.
After running for a while, Silin's group of five rested behind a pile of rocks. They would continue after an hour.
"Teita, I didn't know you had such good stamina," Libero said.
"Of course. I've been training with my dad's subordinates since I was young." Teita was quite proud of this.
Silin looked at the sky. Their pace couldn't keep up with the speed of the planet's rotation. They couldn't experience day all the time. However, they didn't know what would happen when night fell. They couldn't reason with the animals. If they didn't grasp the situation, they would probably be in trouble, just like that poor guy who had been sent flying by the black gorilla.
If Silin was alone, it would definitely be much faster. With Silin's ability to hide, it would be much better than the five of them moving together. However, this was just an additional test. There was no need to fight for first place. They could move together and help those guys. They could also learn some other information along the way.
At first, Cillin was thinking of sending the gray cat to make friends with the animals, but who would've thought that the gray cat would disappear without a trace before the preliminaries even began. It only left behind the words "I'm going to make friends" before disappearing completely.
"It's dark …" Walley said as he leaned against the pile of rocks and watched the darkening sky. His tone was a little embarrassed. He didn't seem like his usual carefree self.
"Are you afraid of the dark?" Teita asked.
"I'm not afraid. I'm just worried."
"Don't worry, we're here. If you want to sleep, then go ahead. Use this time to take a nap. We'll continue our journey later. "Libero moved to the outside and had Walley stay in the middle.
You guys stay here first, I'll check out the terrain.
They didn't know anything about this special runway, and they weren't allowed to bring any detectors. There were signal shielding devices and magnetic field disruptors around it. Those with a poor sense of direction would probably go the wrong way.
Silin quietly checked the surroundings of the pile of rocks, then climbed up a pile of rocks and hid himself in the shadows to observe the situation around the pile of rocks.
Looking at the placement of the stones from above, Silin gradually figured out some principles. The locations of these piles of rocks would affect people's thinking and confuse them into making the wrong choice.
He felt that there was something fishy about this place. In this short amount of time, Silin discovered that the positions of the piles of rocks had changed. When they entered the area of the pile of rocks, they had marked the route, but if they continued to follow these markings, they would definitely go the wrong way. After going the wrong way, they would return, and then go the wrong way again … In the end, they would be trapped here until dawn, but no one knew what would happen during the long night. It was better to leave this place early and find another resting spot.
While Silin was looking at the arrangement of the pile of rocks, a figure quietly snuck into the area of the pile of rocks. After a short pause, the figure "floated" over to Silin and approached from behind Silin.
On the other side, Walley, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked in Silin's direction. But before he could say anything, there was a "thud", as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. Walley quickly got up and ran in that direction, with Libero and the other two following closely behind. But when the four of them arrived at the pile of rocks where Silin was, they discovered that Silin was standing on top of the pile of rocks, safe and sound, and there was a person lying on the ground that they did not recognize.
This was definitely not a candidate who had participated in the test. Silin had an impression of all the candidates who had participated in the test, but Silin was sure that he had never seen this person before. In other words, this person was a student from the previous batch.
In the long distance race of the additional test, other than the animals causing trouble for the candidates, there were also students from the previous batches watching. They were there to ferret out the candidates who did not follow the rules and used illegal tools. At the same time, like the animals, they would occasionally create some obstacles for the candidates.
Walley walked over and pulled on the person, saying, "He fainted."
"He tried to sneak up on me, so I knocked him out." Silin got down from the pile of rocks and looked around. "Let's hurry up and leave. There's something strange about this pile of rocks. The longer we delay, the more it will affect our judgment."
The few of them nodded, but before they could take a step, they felt the ground shake.
"It's that chimpanzee! Hurry up and leave! "Libero said.
"No, we can't leave for now." Silin pointed in the direction in front of them. "There are people coming from that direction."
The few of them quickly left and hid, erasing all traces of what had happened. However, the person who had been knocked out by Silin was left there.
Three people flew over from the sky. One was a mutant with wings, while the other two were normal humans. However, they were wearing flight suits and had miniature propellers on their feet.
The three of them headed straight for where the person who had been knocked out was lying. When the three of them saw the person on the ground, they checked his condition and injected him with a medicine. The person quickly woke up.
Seeing that his companion had finally woken up, one of them laughed gloatingly. "Careless, huh? Let me tell you, be careful. Even if they haven't received training from the affiliated schools, there are still many powerful people. "
The person who had woken up sat up and rubbed his neck. He cursed. "F * ck, that kid moved too fast. I miscalculated!"
"They should still be in this pile of rocks."
"It won't be easy to find them in there. The instruments are all jammed, and we can't detect them. We'll have to find them ourselves."
"No, we just need to trap them here. An hour is enough. By then, the children will probably be confused by the rocks."
The few of them jumped onto the pile of rocks and stood on top of it, chatting while paying attention to their surroundings.
As they were talking, the chimpanzee was getting closer.
"Hey, King Kong, I heard you threw a poor kid away? Did you break his leg or his arm? "one of them joked.
The chimpanzee bared his teeth and walked over, pounding his chest and roaring. He raised his chin and ignored the four of them, continuing to walk forward.
"Hey, this guy is getting more and more arrogant."
"But then again, King Kong doesn't seem to have lost his way here."
"There's a phrase in this world called the intuition of a beast."
The quartet on top of the pile of rocks were conversing in a relaxed manner, but Libero and the others who were hiding in the shadows were feeling bitter inside. Cillin observed for a moment and discovered that the chimpanzee was walking past them, but the quartet was still around, and it wasn't a good idea to switch places right now. They would be discovered if they weren't careful.
Libero and Ironhead both had bitter expressions. Walley's eyes were lowered, and it was hard to tell what he was feeling. However, he was on high alert. Silin glanced at Teita, and the little guy was grinning at the chimpanzee. Seeing Silin looking at him, Teita raised his head and made a "shh" gesture at Silin, then continued to look in King Kong's direction.
The chimpanzee was getting closer and closer. Libero's palms were sweating. If they were exposed, they wouldn't just have to face this black guy, but also the four past students. He really wanted to remind Teita not to look in that direction, but before he could touch Teita, he was so shocked by Teita's action that his hair almost stood on end.
Teita looked around and made sure that the four past students couldn't see him from this angle. Then, when the chimpanzee walked over, he stuck his head out and put a finger in front of his mouth. "Shhh …"
Silin and the others: "…"
Libero, Ironhead, and Walley stiffened. Then, their muscles tightened, and they were ready to rush out at any time. The next moment, they saw Silin and Teita both jump toward the chimpanzee …
The four of them who were chatting on top of a pile of rocks looked in the direction of the chimpanzee, frowned, and thought for a moment. Then, he shook his head and continued the conversation with his companions.
The chimpanzee walked further and further away until it left the area of rocks.
"Hey, is this considered going through the back door?" Libero asked in a low voice.
Now, all five of them were lying on the chimpanzee's belly, and the chimpanzee's back was facing the four of them. Perhaps the four of them didn't expect this to happen.
"Yeah." Walley looked at the tuft of fur in his hand. It was really tough. He really wished he could take a tuft of it back as a souvenir.
The chimpanzee only stopped when it could no longer see the area of rocks.
"Thank you, King Kong!" Teita landed on the ground and patted the chimpanzee's arm.
"Hehe, you're welcome!" A crisp baby voice rang out.
"Let me introduce you guys. This is King Kong. We've known each other since we were young. Every year, he comes to my house to play, "Teita introduced.
Now, Libero and the others finally understood why Teita wasn't worried at all, and Silin didn't react at all. It turned out that he was Teita's old friend. It wasn't surprising that many beasts in the affiliated schools knew how to talk. But … why did he have a baby voice?!
"Teita, he's still a child … No, is he still in his infancy?" Walley looked at the big guy curiously.
"Yes, King Kong is still a child." Teita nodded.
Silin and the others were silent. Was the difference between species really that big?
"I'll send you guys off here. I'm going to take another route. It's not in your track area," King Kong said.
"Okay, go play." Teita waved his hand. "I'll find you after the test."
"Wait, King Kong, right? I want to ask, have you seen a Huimao? A Huimao this big? "Silin gestured and asked King Kong.
King Kong scratched its head with its thick black fingers. "If you're talking about that cat called Snore, then I've seen it."
"Yes, that's it. Do you know where it is now?" Silin asked again.
King Kong shook its head. "I saw it half an hour ago. It made Dahl cry, so it left a deep impression on everyone."
"Uh … Dahl is?"
"A small crocodile the same size as me."
A "big" crocodile was considered a "small" crocodile? If "big" meant about the same length, then it really wasn't small. It was a different story if it was based on age.
Libero and the others were in disbelief when they heard this, including Teita. He couldn't imagine that the cat who had slept on the carpet with him not long ago could make a crocodile cry. Since it was King Kong's friend, then the crocodile was definitely not small.
However, Silin wasn't surprised. He sighed. "That guy went to bully someone else again."
After separating from King Kong, Silin and the others continued on their way. They encountered a few groups of people along the way, and many were injured. Their injuries weren't serious, but it seemed that they were mainly psychological blows. They wondered how the people at the front were doing.
If there wasn't enough food here, they had to find a solution. The fruits in the forest had all been taken by the people at the front, and the animals they encountered along the way weren't something they could kill. They could only find plants to fill their stomachs. In comparison, Silin and the others were considered lucky. After all, the use of subspace wasn't forbidden here.
They ran and stopped occasionally, and they had to find shelter to avoid bumping into the previous students. On the evening of the second day, Silin finally met Huimao. Judging from the guy's expression, he seemed to be quite good at making friends.
"Silin, let me introduce a new friend to you. He's right in front!" Huimao raised his paw and pointed ahead.
The area in front was surrounded by swamps and dense forests. Under the gradually darkening night, it looked even more strange. No one knew what was inside the forest or under the swamp. At the very least, Cillin's intuition told him that there was danger there. Not long ago, they heard a short and urgent scream from this side. After that, there was no movement after that, and by the time they arrived, there was already no one in sight.
Because they knew that this area was full of hidden dangers, Silin and the others decided to wait for a while and pass through after night. It would be slightly safer that way.
"You mean this area?" Silin raised his hand and gestured at the swamps and dense forests not far away.
"Yes, I have a friend there. He's quite a nice guy." Huimao squatted on Silin's shoulder and wagged his tail. "I even fought for him."
"Now?"
"Of course. Aren't you guys in a hurry? This is his territory. This way, he can help you guys. "Huimao was very proud. This was all thanks to him.
Silin called the other four and followed Huimao.
"Silin, are we really going to go there at this time?" Teita looked around and felt that the surroundings were spooky. There seemed to be a pair of big, cold eyes looking at them in the darkness.
"It's okay. Trust Wheeze."
"Yeah, trust me. That friend has a good temper. I'm not lying. You'll know when you see him." Huimao led the way in front, jumping around on the branches.
It was late at night.
Silin and the others finally saw the "good-tempered friend" that Huimao mentioned.
The area near the pond was filled with tall plants, and there, a big fellow was entrenched there. The scales covering its thick body reflected the starlight with a cold metallic light, and with the help of the cold light, they could see the dotted stripes and diamond-shaped patterns scattered all over its body. From time to time, they could see the sharpness of its forked tongue, and the long and thin pupils in its cold eyes stared straight at Cillin and the others.
A creepy feeling that was colder than the night hit them.
