"Lin Xiao, I didn't expect something like this to happen today. I guess you're tired too, so just take a good rest here. We'll go back with the team tomorrow. If you need anything, let me know."
In the camp, Zhu Shan personally led Lin Xiao to a resting bedroom and said with concern.
After learning about Lin Xiao's promotion, Zhu Shan's gentle attitude towards Lin Xiao suddenly became much more enthusiastic, and it was no longer possible to tell that one was the chief examiner and the other was the examiner.
"Excuse me, Master Zhushan." Lin Xiao looked very humble, "But I would like to ask, sir, what exactly are the Underground Alliance and Black Dragon Village you are talking about?"
Lin Xiao's face was full of doubts. He had never heard of these things before in the training hall, but from the looks on Zhu Shan, Wei Ling and others, Lin Xiao was extremely curious about the so-called Black Dragon Village and the underground alliance.
Zhu Shan sighed slightly and said, "Lin Xiao, it's normal that you haven't heard of the Underground Alliance and Black Dragon Village. After all, these things are secrets for ordinary people. But since you have advanced to the True Warrior Level 1, you have become a
As a true warrior, you will come into contact with these sooner or later, so I might as well tell you first."
"Actually, this underground alliance is the collective name given to a certain type of organization by our four empires. This type of organization was born on the Day of Destruction and has been entangled with the current four empires for thousands of years..."
In Zhu Shan's eloquent talk, Lin Xiao also learned about this so-called underground alliance.
After the Day of Destruction that year, a large number of human cities were lost, and large numbers of people moved to safer places inland. These people are the main remaining force on the continent. With years of resistance and the birth of a large number of strong men, among humans
A large number of powerful warriors emerged, establishing today's four major empires and many forces such as Dan Pavilion, Martial Palace, Yuanwu Holy Land, and Nine Dragons Fort.
But in addition to these mainstream human groups, there are still a large number of people in many places in the Cangqiong Continent who have not had time to migrate. Most of them died under the beast tide, but there is still a small number of people who are tenacious.
They have survived, living in the wild areas, thriving and growing, and have not integrated into the territory of the four empires. They even want to take advantage of the chaos after the Day of Destruction to have a place on the mainland and become a
orthodox.
Battles broke out one after another, but unfortunately, in the end, this force was defeated in the confrontation with the four empires and many other forces, and lost the opportunity to reshuffle the cards.
Since then, this force has been full of hostility towards the four empires and the major forces on the mainland, hiding in the wilderness swamps and many abandoned cities, bent on overthrowing the rule of the four empires and establishing a new order.
This force was called the Underground Alliance by the four empires.
In addition, the chaos and disorder that followed the Day of Destruction also led to many strong men becoming kings. They established their own forces and kingdoms one after another, and engaged in long-term resistance and confrontation with the four empires. Most of them
All the forces were destroyed and destroyed by the strength of the four empires. However, due to the threat of monsters in the wilderness area, many forces are still at large.
These forces were also grouped into the underground alliance by the four empires.
The Black Dragon Village is a relatively large force close to the New Acropolis. It is hidden somewhere near the New Acropolis. It wants to capture the New Acropolis and occupy the resources in the New Acropolis. And the new Acropolis is constantly emerging.
Talented young people are naturally the targets they need to attack and eliminate.
In addition, there are many small and small gangs hanging out in the wilderness, coveting the cities under order.
"I didn't expect that there are such forces on this continent." Lin Xiao, who originally thought that humans only need to fight monsters, couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
In troubled times, human life is like nothing, and major cities are far away from each other. However, because of the monsters, transportation and communication are extremely inconvenient. Although the New Acropolis is one of the six major cities under Xuanyi County, they are not close to each other.
The communication between them is not frequent, and the mobilization of the army is even more difficult. Even if there is a beast tide, most of the time each city needs to fight on its own, not to mention the troubled waters of forces like Black Dragon Village.
Lin Xiao felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He finally understood why the strong were respected and supreme in Cangqiong Continent, because in this troubled world, only strength is the eternal truth.
…
One night passed in a blink of an eye, the sky in the east turned fish-belly white, and the morning light rose.
After Lin Xiao had breakfast, he continued to practice cross-legged, and his condition was not affected at all by what happened yesterday.
Gradually, Lin Xiao was completely immersed in cultivation, greedily absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth in the wild which was slightly higher than that in the city, and completely forgot about time.
Time flew by in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the assessment to end at noon.
At this moment, there is still half an hour before eleven o'clock at noon. The vast majority of quasi-martialists have returned to the camp. Only a few quasi-martialists have not returned yet. Chief Examiner Zhu Shan, deacons of various warrior alliances, and many quasi-martialists have not yet returned.
The students are waiting.
In the open space outside the camp, dozens of young would-be warriors stood in twos and threes.
"Senior Brother Chen Feng and I are in a group, there are five of us in the group. Senior Brother Chen Feng is too strong, his strength is far superior to us. There were several times when those one-star monsters were seriously injured and went crazy to break through, and we almost couldn't encircle them.
, Brother Chen Feng stepped forward at the last critical moment, resisted with all his strength, and killed the one-star monster! This time, the five of us killed a total of eight one-star monsters, one for each of the four of us, and the remaining
The four heads below all belong to Senior Brother Chen Feng. The first place in this field test assessment is none other than Senior Brother Chen Feng."
"Senior Brother Chen Feng is powerful, but our Senior Brother Li Mo is not weak either. The five of you killed eight one-star monsters, and the three of us also killed five. In the end, it was all our fault for being injured. Otherwise, if
Kill one, and Senior Brother Li Mo will now have four one-star monsters."
"Hmph, you all went up the mountain in a group, so what's the point? The three of us saw Lin Xiao kill a one-horned porcupine with one person's strength. That's terrifying. We just didn't know that he killed a one-horned porcupine this time.
How many one-star monsters have been killed?" Liu Yi and the other two men who once prepared to rob Lin Xiao in the mountain forest but were scared away said coldly.
Many young would-be warriors were excitedly discussing their gains from killing one-star monsters, and who was the strongest among the would-be warriors in this assessment.
Those who looked triumphant and excited were all those who had participated in a field test. This was the second or even third time to take part. They had been prepared for it, and naturally gained a lot and were confident. There were also some young quasi-warriors.
Their heads were downcast and their eyes were dull. It was obvious that they were unable to kill the one-star monster or were injured and ended early.
"Pang Fei, give me back the monster I hunted." On one side of the open space, a thin young man shouted at a trio of people, with an angry look on his face. It was obvious that he had been robbed by these three people and fought hard to kill them.
Get the loot.
"You're still making a fuss here when you're not as skilled as others. What, do you want to get beaten?" Pang Fei and the other two looked at him mockingly and said with disdain.
All kinds of discussions and quarrels were heard in the open space. It was obvious that these teenagers did not know that a major event had happened here just last night.
Time passed slowly. Zhu Shan looked at the sky and saw that it was almost the prescribed time, but there were still three students who had not returned.
Zhu Shan looked calmly at the mountains and forests not far away.
Two figures walked slowly from different directions in the forest, one behind the other. Although one of them was stained with blood, he was in high spirits, and it was clear that he had made something. The other was in ragged clothes, and was dejected. Needless to say,
He must not have even plucked out a hair from the monster beast.
After the two of them came back, when the time was up, a white figure flew past quickly in the forest. It was Lu Xue dressed in white.
Immediately, several Warrior Alliance deacons who were responsible for the finishing touches also swept down from the mountain and returned to the team.
Zhu Shan nodded and immediately looked at the many young would-be warriors in the open space.
"Okay, everyone is here now. Everyone, please come closer to me. The results will be registered immediately." Zhu Shan's loud voice spread across the open space.
"What? Everyone is here? Chief Examiner Zhu Shan must have remembered correctly. I remember that there were a total of forty-four quasi-combatants participating in the assessment, but the ones on the field now are only in their early thirties, right?" Someone in the crowd was confused.
road.
The other teenagers were also extremely confused. Only some quasi-warriors who had participated in the field test seemed to understand something.
"I know what you are thinking, look behind you." Zhu Shan seemed to know what everyone was thinking and said directly.
"Behind?" Many young people turned to look.
"Ah!" Suddenly a young man standing at the end screamed in fear, and hurriedly backed away. The excited expressions of the other young people around him also turned pale, and their eyes were slightly frightened. Only a few people
Able to keep facial expression unchanged.
In front of them, several deacons from the Warrior Alliance placed three mutilated corpses on the ground. The owners of these three corpses were extremely young. They were the three quasi-warriors who participated in the field test this time. Many of them were still young.
They were familiar with each other, but now, they were lying there silently, covered in blood, and even their bodies were mutilated. It was obvious that most of them were eaten by monsters.
"Agu!"
One young man looked at one of the corpses and made an excited cry, his body trembling, and tears streaming down his face. Apparently the two were very good friends.
"Why are you crying?" A deacon shouted sternly, "There is no one who can't die when fighting monsters. The path you take as a warrior is full of dangers, so you must keep this in mind.
In the wild, you must be more cautious, cautious and cautious, otherwise you may be the one lying here next time, and the ones crying to you will be your parents and relatives."
The deacon's words made all the would-be warriors quiet down and their hearts were greatly touched.
