The sky was just beginning to brighten. Wan Dong, feeling quite weary, walked through the enclosed Monster town.
Despite his fatigue, a smile played on his lips. After a night of fighting, his results were impressive: he had killed a full 51 Monsters!
Suddenly, Wan Dong frowned.
His sense of smell, enhanced by genetic energy, picked up a strong scent of blood.
"Why is the smell of blood so strong…"
Muttering to himself, Wan Dong cautiously moved towards the source of the smell.
He soon arrived at his destination after turning a corner.
When Wan Dong saw the scene before him, he was stunned, rooted to the spot in shock.
What met his eyes—
The corpses of Monsters were piled into a mountain.
The blood of various Monsters had stained the entire street, creating a world of black and red.
At the very top of the mountain of corpses sat a man covered in blood. A Silvermoon Series longsword rested casually beside him, also stained with various bloodstains.
The man atop the Monster mountain glanced at Wan Dong.
In that instant, Wan Dong shuddered, feeling as though he was being watched by a ferocious Monster, his heart skipping a beat!
Wan Dong opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but it seemed that the action itself simply helped him breathe a little easier.
"Ugh…ugh…"
Suddenly.
A series of piercing alarms blared throughout the entire town. Simultaneously, a deep voice echoed through loudspeakers, broadcasting across the settlement:
"Time's up! All Provisional Warriors, immediately assemble at the town exit!"
Wan Dong snapped back to reality. He instinctively glanced towards the town's exit. Then, he heard a soft thud as the man perched atop the mountain of Monsters leaped down, landing right beside him.
Gulp.
Wan Dong swallowed hard. He watched as the blood-soaked man slowly walked past him, heading towards the town exit.
He could see that the man's backpack was filled with the left ears of Monsters!
"Luo Xia..."
Muttering the name softly, Wan Dong felt a surge of complex emotions. It was as if various spice bottles had overturned, and a myriad of feelings welled up within him at once.
Yesterday's me was really overestimating myself...
Wan Dong inwardly mocked himself. He glanced back at the mountain of Monster corpses and shook his head with a bitter smile, then headed towards the town exit.
At the exit of the Monster town.
Provisional Warriors emerged from the town one by one. Blood stained their bodies; some was Monster blood, some their own.
Suddenly, a ripple went through the crowd.
The Provisional Warriors, who had been gathered together, instinctively made way. Then, a man, reeking of blood, slowly walked out carrying a backpack full of Monster ears.
"Damn, who is that? The smell of blood is so strong! Is that his own, or the Monsters'?"
"Look, his backpack is full of Monster ears! How many Monsters must he have killed!"
"Wow, so amazing!"
The Provisional Warriors stared at the blood-covered Luo Xia, their eyes filled with admiration and respect.
After the previous night's battle, they all knew how powerful the Monsters were.
Some of them had even died during the assessment.
Yet, Luo Xia had single-handedly hunted enough Monsters to fill a whole backpack! What an incredible achievement!
"Xia!"
While others couldn't recognize Luo Xia, Luo Feng instantly knew it was his own younger brother.
Seeing Luo Xia walking towards him, covered in blood, his heart skipped a beat. He was terrified that something had happened to Luo Xia. He quickly ran over, examined him from head to toe, and anxiously asked: "Xia, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Seeing his elder brother, Luo Xia smiled, his tone relaxed. "Big brother, I'm fine. The blood on me is all from the Monsters. I'm not hurt!"
Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He looked towards Luo Xia's backpack, which was stuffed full, and asked in surprise, "How many Monsters did you kill? The backpack is almost full..."
Luo Xia thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I didn't count carefully. Probably over a hundred?"
Last night, he had been "waiting for rabbits" on that street.
As the number of Monster corpses on the street increased, the smell of blood grew more intense, attracting many Monsters to fight with Luo Xia.
At first, Luo Xia would count how many Monsters he had killed.
But later, too many Monsters came, and he didn't have time to count.
Luo Feng took a deep breath, "Over a hundred?!"
"I think so…" Luo Xia said.
Luo Feng looked at his younger brother with a wry smile. "What did you even do last night? How did you kill so many Monsters?"
Luo Xia was about to reply when a line of heavy-duty trucks drove out of the town. The trucks were piled high with Monster corpses!
"Hey, these are the Provisional Warrior corpses. Come and receive them."
One of the heavy-duty trucks stopped nearby, carrying the corpses of Provisional Warriors. Some were already mutilated, obviously having been partially eaten by Monsters.
Soldiers were unloading the corpses from the trucks, placing them on the ground for the Provisional Warriors' acquaintances to identify.
"Ah!"
"A Gan!"
"Xiao Yin!"
Some Provisional Warriors recognized familiar faces among the dead, and they cried out in shock. Some even threw themselves onto the corpses, wailing.
"What are you crying for?!"
A cold voice barked out from an officer.
Some Provisional Warriors glared at the officer.
The officer's gaze was stern. Facing the angry stares of the Provisional Warriors, he continued in a frigid tone: "When fighting Monsters, death is inevitable!"
"You chose to walk the path of a warrior, so be prepared to die!"
"Why does human society give warriors special privileges?"
"It's not for you to enjoy a comfortable life, but because you kill a large number of Monsters and contribute to humanity! That's why you receive special privileges!"
"For this trial, we've arranged the weakest Monsters for you, and they're not even the group activity types. If you can't even pass this trial, how do you expect to survive in the Wilderness Zone later?"
After these words, everyone quieted down.
Clap clap—
At this moment, another person walked forward, clapping his hands and saying to Luo Xia and the other Provisional Warriors, "Alright, go and hand in the ears of the Monsters you hunted!"
The Provisional Warriors, hearing this, composed themselves and walked to the side, handing in the left ears of the Monsters they had killed to prove the number they had hunted.
"Two Monster left ears, next, left arm injured."
"Lü Fang? Hmm, three Monster left ears, not bad, next."
Soon, it was Luo Feng and Luo Xia's turn.
The three officers sitting down were surprised to see the two brothers, especially since Luo Xia's backpack was bulging.
"You two are something else. Your backpacks are so full. You must have killed a lot of monsters, right?"
One of the officers asked with a smile.
Luo Feng modestly replied, "Not that many."
The other Provisional Warriors were watching Luo Xia and Luo Feng, curious about how many monsters the two brothers had killed.
Whoosh—
Luo Feng tipped out the contents of the bag, and a large number of monster left ears fell directly into the metal pot beside them. There was a small pile, filling more than half of the pot!
"So many?"
"How many Monsters did he kill?"
The Provisional Warriors watching from a distance were astonished.
At this moment, the examining officer was counting the Monsters' ears. After a moment, he smiled and said to Luo Feng: "Very good. There are a total of 36 left ears. So far, you have killed the most Monsters in this batch. Hmm, and you're not injured."
Luo Feng smiled.
Actually, last night he was busy using the Monsters to train his agility, otherwise he could have killed even more.
"Alright, next. Luo Xia, right? Using the word 'temporarily' was really accurate. How many have you killed? It looks like even more than Luo Feng's. Your backpack is almost full."
The examining officer was surprised when he saw Luo Xia's backpack.
