Karen originally thought that he would become a target.

He was already prepared. Once someone around him rushed towards him, he would put down Richard and engage in a real bite with the opponent!

Therefore, Karen was slightly surprised when others around her turned their eyes away.

But he soon felt relieved. Richard, this "burden", instead became a symbol of his own strength in this special environment.

The man who directly knocked Leon out of the test may not know Leon or know his identity, or he may know but he doesn't care, but the first reason why he chose Leon as his target is that Leon is already there.

The last node was only held on by one breath, and he knew that with just one push, Leon would be pushed out of the contender category.

However, he did not dare to attack Karen because he did not think that other people around him would join forces with him to attack Karen, because the final quota was 5, not 1. Whoever decided to take action would inevitably face the challenge of Karen.

counterattack.

No one would naively think that Karen would continue to hold on to the oil bottle foolishly in this situation. A normal person's choice would be to throw away the oil bottle at that time and kill the guy who wants to harm him.

!

Under the premise of mutual competition, no one will choose the strongest one to take action. The rational optimal solution is often not tenable perceptually.

The man was lying on the ground, as if breathing.

Karen dragged Richard and continued to move forward, stepping in front of the man, but the man did not move.

Others were also moving forward, but subconsciously they kept some distance from each other.

This time is the most likely opportunity for cooperation. If this opportunity is lost, it will be almost impossible to unite to deal with anyone again.

Karen surpassed everyone, walked in the first row, and then continued to move upward resolutely.

Karen lowered his head and looked at Richard. The skin on Richard's body was 80% frozen. Now Richard looked more like an ice pimple, but his consciousness was still there and he was still gritting his teeth.

In fact, when he reaches this height, even if he didn't get there by himself, his resilience is pretty good.

This shows that Richard's talent is actually very high, but this guy has a loose personality and actually lives up to his talent.

But this is normal. His family background is here. This kind of family background gave him a high .asxs., but at the same time, it also deprived him of the perseverance to climb up from the bottom up.

The height has risen a little more, and the degree of soul freezing has reached a new level.

At this time, Richard's consciousness finally showed a tendency to loosen, which meant that if he went further, he might be "exited" from the test directly.

Karen simply stopped, turned around, faced down the mountain, and sat down.

Richard leaned on Karen's arm and made a weak and intermittent voice:

"Karen...I'm really...what a...waste..."

"Well, you are."

"You are so... so... helping me... but I... still can't lift it up..."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense about what you already know."

"I feel so... so hurt... by you... by you... being lifted up like this... I feel... so tortured..."

"It's too pretentious."

"Be... friends... be... brothers... I... don't... want... to be... a burden..."

"Shut up, you can hold on for as long as you want."

At this time, the first figure appeared below. He came up. He was the man from the Knights.

Then, he stopped.

He looked at Karen, who was sitting on top, and Richard, who was sitting next to Karen.

He knew clearly that the reason Karen stopped was because the companion beside him could no longer support his upward movement.

But once Karen sat down there, he didn't dare to go up.

Because according to the rules, if you want to ensure that you are in the top five, you must not only be in the top five while you are still in the test, but also ensure that after you leave the test, those who continue to test will not exceed the height of the coordinates you left.

He witnessed Karen dragging that person here. He must have ensured that the person could enter the top five, and there were not many competitors left on the field. The best way to ensure that was to get rid of a few here.

competitor.

The most embarrassing thing is that the further you go up, the narrower the road becomes. From this position, it is almost impossible to safely bypass where Karen is. Moreover, every step he takes will consume the little energy he has left.

He also didn't want to waste time moving sideways.

Seeing the person in front of me, he stopped and became motionless.

Karen smiled. He didn't know whether his face could accurately convey the smile now, but he raised his right arm and waved behind him, gesturing for him to come up.

The young man was stunned for a moment. He hesitated because no one could guarantee for him that Karen would not choose to make a sneak attack.

But looking back, at Karen, and at the snow-capped mountains behind Karen, he finally chose to take a step forward.

When he reached Karen's side, the young man stopped and said:

"My...my name...is Bart...Bart Cussens...the third...Knights...candidate...Eagle...Knight..."

He was using this proactive way of introducing himself to show respect to Karen.

"Karen Silva, a non-staff member of the Whip of Order Hound Neo team."

"this……"

Bart was shocked. Wasn't he shocked that Karen was just a non-staff member of the Whip of Order? His parents were high-ranking officers of the Knights, but wasn't he also a candidate knight now? He also belonged to the non-staff reserve. He was similar to Karen. The more accumulated his family was.

People with a well-established family background value the development of their children at the grassroots level. Only the nouveau riche would think about climbing up as much as possible within a limited time.

He was shocked that Karen could speak so fluently!

what does that mean?

It means that the other party still has some remaining energy, and it is a lot of energy.

"Karen... I want... to... treat you... to drink... to drink..."

"I don't drink. Let's drink tea. Drinking is not good for your health."

"Okay...okay...just...drink tea..."

Karen turned to look at Bart and said, "You go up and talk less."

"Thank you... thank you..."

Bart continued to walk, walking up step by step with great difficulty. He would keep walking until he could no longer walk, until he lost consciousness and automatically exited the test and escaped from the formation.

On the one hand, this is the rule of the game, and on the other hand, it is because he knows in his heart that although he is ranked first, he is not first, but second. He believes that Karen will step up.

After Bart went up, a second figure soon appeared, it was the boy playing with stones.

His soul state is now half ice and half stone, which makes him look like a stone man.

However, Karen understood that the boy's body was not an ordinary stone, but a crystal that looked like a stone, and this state also penetrated into his soul.

The young man stopped. Apparently, he encountered the same situation as Bart.

He knew that Bart was ahead of him, but he didn't know whether Bart continued to go up or was "killed" by Karen.

"I'm curious, have you been contaminated?" Karen asked.

"Yes...yes...dirty...pollution..."

"It's not easy."

This young man is indeed contaminated. He is a believer in order, but at the same time, he is also a strange monster.

Moreover, his pollution has penetrated into his soul. He can be regarded as like Doradore. He has endured greater pain than Doradore, but he gritted his teeth and embarked on the path of faith.

"Then... that... I... can I... go... up...?"

The boy asked Karen.

"Go up, it's okay, I won't attack you."

"Oh well……"

The young man took steps forward and continued upward, step by step. When he reached Karen's side, the young man said:

"My...name is...Ven...Ventura...you...your...soul...is very powerful..."

The boy didn't say his last name, which probably means one thing. He doesn't have a family. It doesn't mean that he is an orphan. It's probably because even if he says his last name, no one will know it, so he just doesn't say it.

.

This reminded Karen that she was used to using her made-up surname when exchanging names with others, but it was not necessary.

"My name is Karen."

Ventura lifted his legs, which were half ice and half stone, and continued walking up.

After a while, the man who took Leon out of the test appeared here, and he also stopped. However, he did not ask, but just like Karen, he turned around, faced down the mountain, and sat down.

Not long after, Ashley walked up, and he saw the man sitting there, and also saw the two Karens sitting a little above the man.

She stared at the man and continued walking upward.

When she walked to the man, he jumped up suddenly and rushed towards her.
