Under the pitch-black night sky, twelve airships glided past. Their airbags were all imprinted with the symbol of the Polar night — a completely black six-pointed star.
Every airship had two trainees sitting in it. They had returned from their respective instructors and were forced to board the airships without meeting each other. What awaited them was a table full of food, a complete set of equipment, and an extremely simple map.
Every numbered city had a large undeveloped wilderness area. These places were filled with danger and were filled with all kinds of wild beasts. Resources were extremely scarce, and it was a classic example of an unmanaged area.
The final exam for the twelve groups was arranged to be held in such a place.
The twelve airships spread out in the vast wilderness area. The two trainees sitting inside would be parachuted down from a random location and look for other groups to fight in this area. As long as they reached the player level, they could choose to find a safe exit based on the simple map and leave, successfully graduating.
Of course, ambitious people could also choose to leave after the exam ended five days later.
In short, the rules were very simple. Hunt or be hunted, the one who lived to the end would be the winner.
Li Xiang and Ming Xu checked their equipment again. They had an Origin Combat Uniform, an Origin Gun, and a cold weapon. Unfortunately, there was no supply of bullets. The Black Serpent only had one magazine left, and there were no special bullets. However, Ming Xu had a set of exclusive equipment that Dong Ling's family had prepared for her, which made Li Xiang very envious.
"Let's go." He got up and opened the cabin door. Below was a cloud of fog, and they could vaguely see the wilderness area. A strong wind blew into the cabin, causing his clothes to flutter continuously.
"Okay." Ming Xu took a step forward and jumped out of the cabin first. Li Xiang followed closely behind.
The two of them descended at high speed while looking for a suitable landing spot.
This kind of high-altitude parachute jump required a certain amount of physical fitness, but it was not a problem at all for the two of them. With the enhancement of the Five Senses Magic Circuit, they could see the situation on the ground very clearly.
"Over there!" Li Xiang picked a place that seemed to have more bunkers. Ming Xu nodded slightly, opened the parachute with him, and fell towards that area.
From the simple map, it could be seen that the wilderness was very vast. The twelve groups would not land at the same place if they were not lucky. They only had five days, so they had to take the initiative.
After landing steadily, the two of them quickly flipped over the bunker and began to scout their surroundings. Although there was only a very small chance of encountering someone here, Li Xiang still carefully checked their surroundings just to be on the safe side.
Twelve groups, twenty-four people. He only knew six groups from the No. 1 training camp and had no information about the other six groups. The only one he knew was Baimiya, who was inexplicably hostile towards him.
He also wanted to ask Baimiya about Ye Tong.
"There's no one here."
"Me too."
The two of them gestured to each other from afar.
Li Xiang picked a quiet bunker and sat down. Ming Xu also walked over. He took out the Sorcerer's Stone. When they were on the airship, each of them received a Sorcerer's Stone. The method of using it was very simple. After absorbing one's own blood and pressing it on the corpse, it would automatically take over the dead person's Magic Circuit.
However, until now, he had not poured his own blood into the Sorcerer's Stone.
"This is an item of the Magician. I heard that Magicians have very strange personalities. I have a feeling that this thing has been tampered with." Li Xiang did not mince his words and expressed his opinion.
He believed that the Sorcerer's Stone could indeed allow them to obtain the Player's Talent and even strengthen themselves, but at the same time, there were bound to be some side effects.
For example, they might be controlled by this Magician in the future.
He really did not like the feeling of his fate being in the hands of others.
If the price of obtaining the Player's Talent was the possibility of being manipulated, he would rather give up on this method. Besides, he already had the Player's Talent.
Ming Xu nodded silently. She also did not provide her blood to the Sorcerer's Stone.
This was indeed too strange.
"I may not deliberately hunt others for the next five days. I don't know about your side, but if you have the intention to become stronger, I will help you hunt and plunder the Magic Circuit," Li Xiang said lightly. "What do you mean?"
"…" Ming Xu shook her head. This meant that she did not have the intention to hunt others for the time being.
Li Xiang smiled. If she really had this idea, he would also have a headache.
"Then there is only one goal now."
He touched his chest. The Heart of Disaster was there. The Ice Barrier outside had melted a lot these days and would definitely disappear within five days.
He did not know if the Kuang Tie had a way to detect this thing. No matter what, the conflict between him and the Kuang Tie could no longer be resolved. One of them had to die!
General Shogun stood behind the Kuang Tie. Li Xiang actually did not want to drag Ming Xu down with him, but it looked like he could not persuade her.
The two of them looked at each other and did not speak anymore. They began to move quickly in this wilderness, one in front and one behind.
The place they chose had many abandoned building wreckage as cover. The two of them, who were proficient in assassination, were like fish in water. If they met an enemy here, it could only be their bad luck.
The crude map was really crude. It only had a rough outline, but he could guess that with the arrogant personality of the Kuang Tie, he would probably land directly near the exit and quietly hunt all the trainees who came.
Of course, he could also be attacked by others.
After all, he was probably not the only one with this idea.
The exit was not at the edge of the area, but at a super lighthouse in the center.
The symbol of the old era, the strange building that the first generation of players painstakingly built. No matter where one looked at it, there was a sense of majesty and shock.
This lighthouse was taller and more dazzling than the ones Li Xiang had seen before!
The two of them quickly moved through the wilderness. Ming Xu was always in a state of alert. The sniper rifle in the long zither case was firmly grasped in her hand. If there was any movement, she would immediately shoot.
"Huh? Is there something up ahead?" Li Xiang stopped running and quickly leaned against a cover. Ming Xu, who was following closely behind him, also stopped and looked ahead vigilantly.
Two eye-catching corpses lay on the ground. Strangely, there was no smell of blood.
Looking carefully, the blood on the two corpses seemed to have been sucked dry. The corpses were in a mummified state, but the preliminary examination showed that they had died not long ago.
The two of them had a valiant rooster engraved on their bare arms. They were the two members of the 1st Training Camp's Chicken Group. Who would have thought that not long after they landed, they would become boxes!
The way they died was very strange. Their faces were filled with fear, as if they had seen something terrible. From the traces of battle around them, a bloody battle had occurred not long after they landed! They had put up a desperate fight, but in the end, they were still sucked dry.
Something was wrong.
He released his perception. Other than Ming Xu's presence, there was no one else around.
But something was wrong. Something was definitely wrong. The murderer must still be nearby!
They could hide their presence?
Li Xiang had a plan in his mind. He swaggered over to the two corpses and shouted with a smile, "Ming Xu, our luck is not bad. I didn't expect to pick up a bargain so quickly."
Ming Xu looked at him speechlessly. This guy's acting was a bit too bad.
However, Li Xiang's actions must have his own meaning. Ming Xu was convinced. Naturally, he cooperated with him and walked out from the shadows, pretending to relax his vigilance.
"Wow, our luck is very good." Her voice was even more fake. There was clearly no emotion in it, but she still tried to pretend to be very excited.
Li Xiang rolled his eyes at her speechlessly. He squatted down and casually flipped the corpses in front of her. The backs of the two were completely exposed, and Ming Xu finally understood the suspicious point that Li Xiang had discovered.
In the shadows not far away, a strange shadow suddenly appeared on the ground. A slender man with long arms and legs slowly crawled out from the black hole.
He quietly approached the two with their backs exposed. His heart was full of disdain.
These were the so-called Polar night trainees? They were just his rations!
"Ah, Ming Xu, look. These two guys died so miserably."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Hey, their equipment is still here. Their luck is really good."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Say, as fellow trainees in the same training camp, should we avenge them?"
Li Xiang's tone suddenly changed. His voice suddenly became incomparably cold.
"Yes …" Before Ming Xu's voice fell, the two of them turned around at the same time.
Li Xiang took a deep breath. His body took half a step back. When his left foot landed, the ground made a shocking "bang" sound. The rock-hard ground cracked just like that. The magic circuit on his legs had already materialized!
"If you had been hiding, it would have been really hard for us to find you." Li Xiang sneered. He threw a punch at the slender man behind him!
The slender man was shocked. He had clearly concealed his aura so that the two trainees who had died tragically did not discover him immediately. Why did these two fellows seem to know his movements like the back of their hands? It was as if he was the prey.
"You really are not a trainee." Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the other's face.
The power of the punch directly shattered the air, and ripples appeared out of nowhere.
The slender man screamed and bent down. His upper body suddenly twisted to his heel, and he instantly dodged the powerful punch.
Li Xiang's punch hit empty air. There was an explosion in the air, followed by Ming Xu's Demon Wings shooting.
A gray column of air drilled out from behind Li Xiang. At such a close distance, and with a companion nearby, how could she be so confident in her attack?
The slender man was surprised again. The difference between this group and the previous group was like heaven and earth.
At such a close distance, wouldn't they be restrained?
Boom!
A deep pit was blasted out of the ground.
Ming Xu had no intention of holding back.
The slender man's figure once again escaped into the shadows. Li Xiang's dagger drew a cold light, but it cut empty air.
He dodged it again.
It was that ghostly movement again.
And the incredible degree of distortion of his body was no longer a level that a normal person could achieve.
"Hehe, I admit that you are very troublesome, but that's all."
A hand suddenly stretched out from the shadows on the ground and abruptly grabbed Ming Xu's ankle. He was clearly some distance away from Ming Xu before, but he suddenly appeared at her feet with only one hand.
It was very strange.
"Is this magic?" Li Xiang's heart sank. Where did this enemy come from?
"Binggo ~ Magic name, Support · Shadow Burrow." The slender man's laughter was feminine and shrill. It sounded very harsh.
His hand suddenly exerted force, and he was about to drag Ming Xu from the ground into the shadows.
