The nine people who were walking aggressively toward Zuo Qingcang looked like extraterrestrial lifeforms of the same race.
Their bodies were covered in layers of feathers, and their heads were in the shape of birds. Their feet had two huge eagle talon-like feet, and their bodies were covered in a set of silver scale armor. They looked like they came from an ancient civilization.
In fact, this was relatively common in the universe. Many races that did not have a high level of civilization had strong physical bodies and combat strength due to the harsh natural environment.
Therefore, when some high-tech races discovered them, they would subdue them and make them their own slave soldiers. Their strong physical bodies and combat strength, coupled with technological equipment and logistics, could add up to a greater effect than one plus one.
The bird-like race in front of him was the same. However, when they walked up to Zuo Qingcang, the nine of them formed a ring around him. These bird-like people, who were over three meters tall, looked down at Zuo Qingcang from above. The malicious intent in their eyes was clear as day.
The bird-like person in the lead had golden feathers all over his body. He looked like a legendary golden-winged roc. He looked at Zuo Qingcang indifferently and turned away without saying a word. It was as if Zuo Qingcang's thoughts and opinions were not important at all.
Beside Zuo Qingcang, two bird-like people, one on his left and one on his right, placed their claws on his shoulders and said fiercely, "Kid, don't move around later. We'll be in the same group as you for the second round of the test."
"Hehehehe, you should feel lucky to be in the same group as us, the Cyclone Group."
"Kid, you'd better not try anything funny. Our strength and influence is not something you can imagine."
Although their attitudes were bad, Zuo Qingcang did not take it to heart. After all, he was currently lacking people to form a group with, so these people would be very useful. As for after the test started...
While they were talking, everyone present had finished forming their groups. Death Heralding Grayflame swept his gaze across the crowd and nodded slightly. "Very good, everyone has finished forming their groups.
"Next up is the team mission. If no one in the team dies and reaches 50 points, the entire team will pass."
"You guys are in luck this time. The team mission is a hunting mission, which means that as long as you kill the target creature, you will get points for each creature. Everyone just needs to get more than 50 points."
At this moment, someone raised his hand. "Can teams attack each other?"
"Where do you think this is?" Death Herald Ash Flame snorted coldly. "This is the Supreme Council, the focal point of the entire universe's order and civilization, not some bandit's lair. If you kill someone from another team, the entire team will be eliminated. "
In other words, he could attack, but he couldn't kill. Death Herald Cang Yan's words were too obvious, and everyone in the hall instantly became alert.
Death Heralding Ash Flame chuckled as a large round plate appeared beside him. On it were the names of various places. The moment they saw the names, the expressions of several people present changed drastically.
This made Death Heralding Ash Flame even more excited. "Same old rules, the location of the test will be decided randomly. Let me see your luck."
As the wheel spun and paused, a bright red name slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"Planet Sonia, is it?" Death Heralding Ash Flame's voice had a hint of bone-chilling coldness. "Hehehehe, a month ago, an entrance to the White Land was discovered there. Now, over five million demons have gathered there. The alliance fleet has temporarily sealed off the entire planetary system, but several probing attacks have been repelled.
That place can be considered hell on earth now. You guys are really lucky. "
"Planet Sonia? There isn't even a single living person there. " Among the people present, there were clearly people who knew about the situation there. "The entire planet's life has basically been wiped out by the demons. We'll just be sending ourselves to our deaths if we go there. It's just a test, how can we choose such a place? "
"What the hell is the Supreme Council up to? We're going to fight against five million demons for a test? They're sending us to our deaths! "
In an instant, the entire hall was in an uproar. Clearly, many people were very dissatisfied with the upcoming test.
However, following Death Heralding Ash Flame's cold snort, the people who were the loudest fainted under the impact of his killing intent.
"Do you guys think that we're here to play house? If you want to become a universe mercenary of the Supreme Council, you must have the resolve to sacrifice your life at any time.
"Fighting against the insectoids, the demons, and even those evil gods requires you to have the courage to give up your life at any time. Those who don't have this resolve can just withdraw."
There were really over ten people who chose to withdraw. It couldn't be helped. Even compared to the insectoids who had engulfed and destroyed countless planets, the demons were a more terrifying existence. Not only were there a lot of them, but their upper echelons were also comparable to the experts on the Galaxy Deity-Demon Rankings.
Death Heralding Ash Flame threw a cold glance at everyone and said, "Very well. Since no one wants to withdraw, then let's begin." As he spoke, quantum communicators descended from the ceiling and were put on by everyone.
"This quantum communicator can ensure that we're in constant communication. Of course, if you've completed accumulating points or wish to give up on the test, you can inform us through it.
"By the way, the points given to each species of demons are different, ranging from 0.1 to 500 points. The list of information will be sent to you after you arrive at Planet Sonia. "Of course, the higher the ranking, the greater the advantage you'll have in the third test."
There was a total of over 152 teams in the hall. With Death Heralding Ash Flame's command, a total of 152 light gates appeared before them.
Looking at the door of light before them, countless people revealed grim, hesitant, and worried looks in their eyes. They all had different expressions.
"Let's go, kid." A birdman patted Zuo Qingcang on the shoulder and said, "Hehe, don't be so scared that you'll piss your pants. With us around, we won't let you die in this test." However, he purposely emphasized the word 'die', and no one knew if he was hinting at something.
However, when he smacked down with his claw, he felt as if he had smacked down on a mountain. Fang Xingjian did not budge at all.
Zuo Qingcang did not enter directly. Instead, he raised his hand and asked, "Will there be any points for subduing other team members?"
Death Heralding Grayflame threw a glance toward Zuo Qingcang. He could not stand people like this who targeted their own people. Thus, he let out a cold snort and said, "No."
The birdman behind him still wanted to push Zuo Qingcang, but this time around, he missed. Zuo Qingcang had already taken the lead and was the first to enter the light gate.
"What?" The golden birdman was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and said, "Hurry up and go in. Don't let him escape." He thought that Fang Xingjian was trying to get to Planet Sonia ahead of time to get rid of the Cyclone team.
After all, their evil intentions were too obvious. It was like a high school hooligan trying to extort a primary school student. After saying that, the nine birdmen rushed into the light gate one after another.
Pumir looked in the direction of the Cyclone team in surprise and said, "Alright, let's go in too. With our team's configuration, as long as we don't encounter those Warriors of the Evil God, there won't be any accidents."
With two teams entering the light gate in succession, it was as if they had set a good example for everyone present. Therefore, the 152 teams entered the light gate one after another. Not long after, the entire hall was empty.
As the 152 light gates closed, the 152 teams randomly appeared in various places on Planet Sonia.
…
Strong gales blew in their faces, and the sand was swept up by these supersonic hurricanes, shooting through the atmosphere like electromagnetic cannons.
The entire sky was tainted by this terrifying sandstorm. No, it should be said that the entire atmosphere of Planet Sonia was covered by this sandstorm. The sun was blocked out, and the entire surface world was plunged into darkness.
Under such circumstances, Zuo Qingcang appeared over 20,000 meters in the sky and plummeted toward the ground like a meteor.
However, two seconds after he appeared, birdmen appeared in the sky one after another.
The moment they appeared, they were blown away by the hurricanes in the atmosphere. There was even a black birdman whose head was smashed by the sand, and he let out a muffled groan and almost fainted.
However, at the next moment, these birdmen activated the equipment on their bodies. Layers of nanotechnology armor covered their bodies, and they glided in the sky like robots. When the supersonic sand smashed onto their bodies, it only produced explosive sounds but was unable to hurt them at all.
"Damn it, the wind is so strong."
"This is good too. This environment gives us an advantage."
"Where did that guy go?"
The golden birdman in the lead looked around, sending out traces of infrared detection rays. He instantly discovered Zuo Qingcang, who was several hundred meters away.
"He's over there!"
"Chase after him! Don't let him get away!"
As they flapped their metal steel wings, gusts of strong wind blew out from their bodies. The nine figures let out soft whooshing sounds and flew toward Zuo Qingcang's position like supersonic fighter jets.
The original plan of the nine members of the Cyclone Group was to form a team with the lizardman who was eliminated by Zuo Qingcang and help him complete this team mission. This was a mercenary mission for which they received a large sum of money.
However, who would have thought that the lizardman would be eliminated by Zuo Qingcang and be seriously injured and paralyzed?
That was why Bibi Nuo hinted to the pig-headed patriarch. Now that the Cyclone Group wanted to find trouble with Zuo Qingcang, it was obvious that they had received a hint from someone. However, the other party did not seem to have told them about the strength that Zuo Qingcang had displayed when he defeated Lady Phantom.
Although the nine of them were born with the ability to fly, they could not fly too fast in this storm that swept across the world.
On the other hand, Zuo Qingcang allowed the strong wind and gravity to drag him down to the ground. His speed was so fast that the nine of them could not catch up to him for a while.
"Damn it, what a cunning guy." A hint of anger flashed in the eyes of the leader, the golden birdman. As one of the nine team leaders of the Cyclone Group, this was his first time leading a team to complete a mission.
Thinking of how Zuo Qingcang had foiled his first mission, he felt infuriated. Seeing that Zuo Qingcang's silhouette was becoming increasingly indistinct amidst the tempest, he bellowed furiously, "Activate the quantum superconducting engine! We mustn't let him escape!"
Wisps of white smoke rose from the nanoarmor on the surface of their bodies. As the low-temperature superconducting phenomenon reappeared, the magnetic field on their bodies changed along with the magnetic field of the entire planet, completely breaking away from the interference of gravity.
With this, the speed of the nine members of the Cyclone Group increased by a notch once again, leaving behind a series of afterimages in the violent storm. They got closer and closer to Zuo Qingcang. However, as the storm flashed and changed, they were still just a little bit away from him.
Several tens of seconds later, a loud rumble rang out, and Zuo Qingcang plunged to the ground like a piece of rock. It was as if a bomb had exploded on the ground, and several tens of tons of sand soared into the sky. The sand then radiated out in all directions like waves.
Only a few seconds later, the nine members of the Gale Mercenary Group also landed lightly on the ground.
"Not going to escape anymore?" The golden birdman laughed savagely and walked slowly toward Zuo Qingcang on the ground.
Although the other party had fallen from such a high altitude and created a huge crater, he appeared to be unscathed. However, the golden birdman knew that after activating the nanoarmor, it would not be a big deal for him to do this. Therefore, he did not take it to heart.
However, the reason why Zuo Qingcang had allowed himself to fall was because he did not care. To him, falling from a height of 20,000 meters was as easy as eating and breathing.
The important thing was that during the several tens of seconds he had been falling, he had already scanned the entire Planet Sonia using his true origin waves.
Right now, the map of the entire planet had appeared in his mind. Countless densely-packed red dots appeared on the surface, the sky, and the ground.
'Are those the so-called Evil Demons?'
Other than that, there were only some sporadic green dots. They were the warriors that he had confirmed to be taking part in the test.
Over ten kilometers away, flames soared into the sky. Zuo Qingcang could clearly sense that a few mechanical warriors had entered the Evil Demons' nest and started fighting.
In the sky several hundred kilometers away, a warrior who had transformed into a monster that was over 100 meters tall was being attacked and eaten by several thousand Evil Demons.
With the descent of Team 152's warriors, the entire planet instantly turned into countless battlefields.
"Hey." Just then, the golden birdman had already walked up to Zuo Qingcang. "Are you scared out of your wits?" He grabbed out toward Zuo Qingcang's shoulder.
Just then, Zuo Qingcang looked toward him. Accompanied by this gaze, a pressure that was as heavy as Mount Tai came down from the sky. This caused the nine birdmen present to tremble and kneel down on the ground.
In the distance, strange creatures with green faces and fangs were flapping their bat wings. They formed a densely-packed army of over 10,000 people and charged toward where Zuo Qingcang was. They had noticed them when they entered the atmosphere.
Zuo Qingcang did not pay this Evil Demon army any heed. He threw a glance toward the golden birdman and said, "Little alien bird …" At the next moment, he lifted his head and looked toward the sky.
"… Don't move around. Just watch."
Within a second, the entire sky was filled up by countless Evil Demons. In just a short moment, the black dot started to expand, turning into a cloud that was formed by countless Evil Demons squeezing together.
The entire planet's over five million Evil Demons were transported to the sky above Zuo Qingcang through quantum entanglement, using the sky of the virtual space as a medium.
Zuo Qingcang did not plan on letting the other 152 teams advance. In the entire second round of the test, only the ten people from his team would advance to the next round.
