Chapter 17 Hidden Dragon in the Abyss

"Future research institute rookies, you don't have to be so excited or afraid... Hey hey, because this first assessment will not kill you. After all, you are still rookies who know nothing! Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce myself first. I am Reg, the captain of the third team of the Fenglin Volcano Group of the War Preparedness Department of the No. 13 Research Institute, and I am also the invigilator of your first group assessment.

The speaker was a short man with a bald head. The spacecraft just loaded all the candidates on the third island - an island completely covered by virgin forests. The humidity here is heavy, the fog is heavy in the morning, the visibility is very low, and the temperature is lower, but Renault is still ** on his upper body, showing the horizontal and disorderly scars of his upper body.

On the only square of the island, candidates looked at him with admiration and reported warm applause. This must be an old-qualified soldier, probably crawling out of the dead to have so many scars.

However, Jiang Wei, standing in the last row, curled his lips and didn't think so. He, who had cultivated the glazed golden body, was very clear about the changes in human muscles. He felt that these scars were more like traces of forced confessions. Well, there are a variety of techniques, which proves that the bald head has been caught by different enemies more than once.

Of course, Jiang Wei didn't tell anyone these ideas. He just laughed a few times in his heart. However, when Jiang Wei glanced at the candidates in the front row, he suddenly found that several candidates also found disdainful eyes on their faces, obviously seeing through the truth of Renault's scars like Jiang Wei.

Suddenly, one of the candidates with golden glasses shook his shoulders slightly, and then suddenly turned his head and looked straight in the direction of Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei's reaction was also extremely fast. He immediately noticed the candidate's slight reaction, and his face rippled with admiration. His eyes turned to Renault's face without blinking, but his heart muttered: "It's awesome! This kind of perception ability is no less than me. It seems that the people who come to the assessment are indeed hiding dragons and crouching tigers. You can't be careless later.

The examinee with glasses glanced at Jiang Wei in surprise for a while, and finally felt that he was too **. How could a peasant god have the sharp look he had just felt?

"...Okay, now you put the iris recognition card you just got on your chest."

"300 people have signed up for this assessment. Of all 300 iris recognition cards, half of the last number of the identification card number is a single number, and the last number of the other half of the identification card number is double number."

"This assessment is a points system, please listen carefully. I will announce the following rules: First, the success of crossing the riot forest is one point; second, everyone has an iris recognition card, but if you get an additional recognition card, you will get one point..."

As soon as Renault's words came out, it was like a boulder smashing into a calm lake, causing an uproar among the candidates. The atmosphere in the open space was a little strange. Everyone began to pay attention to everyone around them, seek easy targets, and also guard against becoming other people's goals, and distanced themselves from each other.

Seeing this situation, Renault laughed and said, "You don't have to look at the people around you hostilely. Please note that if you get a recognition card with the same ending number, it doesn't make any sense! Only by getting an iris recognition card with a different tail number from your own can you get bonus points!"

"Finally, I want to say that from now on, you must pay attention to your own scores. After three rounds of assessment, the higher the score, the more attention will be paid by the personnel department of the institute, and the tutors and treatment he gets in the research institute will be better than others. At the same time, I would also like to emphasize that no one will be eliminated in the first round of assessment, so candidates who are behind in this round of examination can still work hard in the next two rounds. However, if murderers are found in this round of assessment, the perpetrator will not only be disqualified from the examination, but will also be severely punished by the research institute.

"In addition, I would like to remind you that teams are allowed during the assessment process." Speaking of this sentence, Renault squeezed his eyebrows at the candidates below and smiled mysteriously.

"Well, now each of you is ready to go. In a quarter of an hour, the assessment will officially begin. If there is any emergency during the assessment, you can contact me at any time with your intelligent communication. Renault shook the intelligent communication on the wrist of the candidates.

"This assessment invigilator is Renault and the other four members of the Fenglin Volcano Group. Don't try to cheat. We will hide in the dark all the way to observe your activities."

After Renault said this, the large transport spacecraft parked on the empty field made a gesture and immediately jumped four vigorous figures in the cockpit of the spacecraft and jumped into the depths of the forest in four directions.

"These invigilators are still a little good. They seem to be the gods of wind attributes." Jiang Wei stared at the disappeared figures as if thinking.

As soon as Renault and others left, 300 candidates in the open space fell into a brief silence. Look at me, I look at you, and look at each other.

Jiang Wei thought that everyone would rush into the forest the next moment, but after waiting for a while, the candidates in the open space actually began to talk tentatively.

"Hi, hello. My name is Mason, from the Empire of Montenegro. It was the Imperial Army*Flando who recommended me to take the assessment. A tall and thin teenager introduced to the short man next to him.

"General Frando?" The short man frowned slightly and kept a few steps away from the tall man: "Dale, director of the Justice Bureau of the United States of the Sun, recommended me to take the assessment."

When the tall and thin man heard the words of the short teenager, he also stepped back a few steps and looked at the short man and became alert.

At this time, the gorgeous young man behind the tall and thin man was overjoyed and came over to hold the thin and tall man's hand: "Let's form an alliance! Liu Jianshe, chairman of the grand chaebol of the United States of the sun, was selected to participate in the assessment. Our referees are all the seventh star lords who work for the research institute.

... The above similar scene began to be in full swing on the empty field. Jiang Wei was surprised to find that after about five minutes, everyone began to follow a strange tacit understanding to form a small team. Some teams were more than a dozen people, some were only four or five people. Of course, lonely like Jiang Wei Zero looked left and right, as if there were also abandoned assessors, but such assessors also began to talk to each other and try to form an alliance.

"Why is this? Just now, I didn't know these people, but they formed an alliance for no reason. And these allies are not allied by the single and double number at the end of the iris recognition card number! Shit, what's going on? Jiang Wei was surprised.

When Jiang Wei was strange, he suddenly saw four people gathered not far away. The four were nervously talking about something. One of the teenagers just helped him get ahead at the assessment registration office - Scott.

Jiang Wei is very fond of Scott. On Scott's body, Jiang Wei can see the shadow of his best friend Lu Chukuang.

The four people in the conversation, the other two men and one woman are very nervous, while Scott's face is full of disdain, as if he is arguing about something, and from time to time his eyes are provocatively glanced at other teams that have been formed.

Jiang Wei's heart was moved. Obviously, it is the best choice to form an alliance with people now. Although he keenly judged that most of the candidates were not a threat to him at all, there were also more than a dozen young gods that Jiang Wei's keen perception could not judge their cultivation, and even a few accidentally exuded a strong momentum, which actually made Jiang Weidu is in a state of alarm.

Jiang Wei felt that if he was single, it might not be a problem to keep his own number plate, but it would be very difficult to get extra number plates from large leagues. After thinking for a while, Jiang Wei looked at the four Scotts.

"Afraid of hanging. If they think that the alliance can take our number plate, hum, this is too underestimate the people from our Maori country. Scott said coldly.

"Scott, calm down! Don't you see the current situation clearly? We now not only need to protect our number plate, but also strive for more points, so as to pave a good foundation for the next two rounds of assessment. The little fat man calmly analyzed: "So I think we should unite more retail investors with more people and more strength. After going to the forest, we will slowly swallow some weak alliances and absorb scores according to the situation."

......

Jiang Wei's sense of thought completely listened to Scott's conversation, and then he suddenly realized.

There are three channels to obtain the newcomer assessment qualification of the 13th Research Institute. One is a specific seed, the elite actively found by the 13th Research Institute, such as Jiang Wei. One is some powerful children, whose strength is slightly worse than that of specific seeds, but they also have a certain strength. There is also a qualification sold to retail investors for one million pounds for the sake of fairness, but this kind of retail investors also need to have a certain relationship with the research institute to obtain the qualification.

These strange alliances that appear on the field now are related to the staggered factions in the 13th Research Institute. The 13th Research Institute is composed of 13 powerful people in the universe, known as the 13th Star Master. The 13th Star Master also brings a large number of people who are loyal to each of them. There are many factions, and it is inevitable that they fight with each other.

Although the newcomers who came to participate in the assessment of the research institute had no interest in the past, because the referees behind them were loyal to different star owners, they also became people of different star owners, and formed various alliances based on the judgment of each other's recommenders's camp.

When Jiang Wei was listening to Scott's conversation, he suddenly felt a poisonous look at him from time to time. His thoughts suddenly spread behind him, and then he found that the person who looked at him was Eric, the explosive head who had just found fault.

Eric is gathered together with eight or nine candidates to discuss things.

"Erik, are you sure you want to eat those four miscellaneous fish first?"

"Definite! They are all retail investors. It's not difficult to eat them at all, and the guy named Scott dared to threaten me just now. I must make him look good.

"Well, we don't care anyway. Anyway, four retail investors and that farmer also have five scores."

......

Jiang Wei's heart moved and couldn't help looking at Scott's four more, and a wave of apology surged in his heart. Scott got into trouble with the explosion all because he fought for him. Now that he hears the plan of the first few people, he will not stand by.

"Hey, hello."

The four Scotts were talking when a smiling voice sounded behind them.

"What are you doing here?" Scott turned his head and saw Jiang Wei's dirty face with a smile. Jiang Wei looked like a handsome man, but Scott didn't know why he only felt that Jiang Wei's face was extremely obscene, and his smile was also very annoying, and his face sank.

"Do you mind if I join you?" Jiang Wei pointed to other leagues: "Like them, we also form a team."

"We don't want you!" Scott gave a hardback, then took a look at Jiang Wei and added, "My team does not welcome cowards."

Jiang Wei frowned slightly and smiled bitterly in his heart. His momentary forbearance turned him into a coward in Scott's eyes.

Jiang Wei only had a little appreciation for Scott for a while before he wanted to help them secretly. Unexpectedly, he was refused as a rookie and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly a voice came from behind.

"No, we can consider you." The little fat Carl took Jiang Wei's hand in time and said seriously, "However, you should at least show us your strength."

"No problem." Jiang Wei turned around leisurely and raised his eyebrows at Scott: "Well, please punch me. I will never fight back."

......

A quarter of an hour later, deep in the dark forest.

Scott frowned and kept rubbing his hands. His fists were red, swollen and bruised, and there were bursts of heartache when rubbing.

"Scott, hehe, you're at a loss!" Carl, a little fat man, smiled in a low voice and said, "People who can come to participate in the assessment can't be underestimated. Even if the peasant boy looks old-fashioned, his fighting ability is not bad, right? Even your Western gods who evolved to the second stage didn't benefit.

"Well, I haven't used the power of the sudden alienated bear just now, otherwise he would have been punched into meat mud by me just now." Scott endured the pain and said coldly.

"Blow it." The little fat man smiled secretly, but he was proud of his wisdom and foresight in his heart. Fortunately, he grabbed the peasant boy named Zhang Wei in time, otherwise he would have lost a good hand.

Scott's four-person group, plus Jiang Wei and two other retail candidates who were pulled closer by Carl, are moving forward carefully along a strange route. Their route is not across the riot forest, but along the edge of the forest to the other side of the riot forest. This route is also proposed by the shrewd little fat Carl to avoid the large alliance of candidates who have entered the depths of the forest as much as possible.

The light in the riot forest is dim, and the 100-meter-long branches are lush, leaving little to filter the light shining into the forest.

A large number of ferns and climbing vines thrive at the bottom of the forest. The thick leaves have been silted for many years. When they step on them, the corrupt leaves are mixed with dark brown water and straight to the instep.

The wind blowing and grass within 100 meters are all covered by Jiang Wei's sense of feeling. It is also an unspensable thing for Jiang Wei to release his sense of thought for a long time. Fortunately, he has practiced the "Yimu Growth Method". There are many trees around him, and the spiritual power of the wood system and the water system are abundant. Jiang Wei moves his skills and absorbs it endlessly. The surrounding spiritual power replenish the energy consumed by the feeling of thought.

At this moment, Jiang Wei's energy is abundant, which can be described as a miraculous existence among the mid-level gods in the infancy. The ordinary divine lines are stored in the Dantian meridians, while Jiang Wei's power is stored in countless energy roots, which are even hidden in Jiang Wei's bones, blood and hair, so compared with For ordinary envoys, Jiang Wei's body can carry more than five times the energy of them. After Jiang Wei practiced until his infancy, those qi roots even broke through the shackles of Jiang Wei's body and extended to Jiang Wei's body like vines, and there was a continuous trend of growth.

Once arriving in the dense forest, Jiang Wei's all the air roots absorb natural spiritual power together, and the speed of replenishing energy is far better than the speed of thinking and depleting energy.

"Brother Zhang Wei, your strength should have reached the spiritual metamorphescence period, right?" When Jiang Wei was paying close attention to the wind and grass blowing around him, Li Shi came behind Jiang Wei and asked in a low voice.

Among the seven people in their group, Jiang Wei opened the road first. Anyway, other gods just now saw Jiang Wei's ability to fight. Scott opened the mountain and cracked stone and punched down. Not only did he defeat Jiang Wei, but his hands were swollen. With Jiang Wei, who had such a strong fighting ability, he was naturally at the front. As a shield.

"Eh, I practiced the golden bell mask magic skill. I have practiced it for more than ten years, and I just reached the spiritual metamorpho period last month." Jiang Wei said in a low voice, looking loyal and honest to answer questions.

Li Shi was secretly shocked in his heart. It's really a monster. The golden bell mask magic skill is an E-level body protection skill, and the cultivation process is extremely boring. When Zhang Wei suffered Scott's punch just now, his skin obviously glowed golden yellow. This is a sign that the golden bell mask magic skill has become a great. This guy can actually cultivate the golden bell shield to Dacheng, what perseverance it takes!

Seeing Li Shi's mouth in surprise, Jiang Wei smiled secretly in his heart. In front of these people, in order to prevent the exposure of his feet, Jiang Wei deliberately suppressed his strength to the spiritual metamorphescence period, and then randomly made up a name called "Zhang Wei", and his so-called golden bell mask magic skill is actually just a diamond iron bone muscle god. It's just a skill. Li Shi and other teenagers can't see it at all.

There is a dead silence around, and you can only hear the thievity of slowly moving forward.

Patter, with a slight slight sound.

A blue vine fell from the tree on Jiang Wei's shoulder.

Jiang Wei didn't think about it and grabbed the vine with both hands to try to remove it. Unexpectedly, he snorted, and his palms were in a fierce pain. The vine actually had many steel needle-like thorns, and these small thorns were extremely sharp.

Although Jiang Wei's muscle skin was as hard as metal, his hands were plunged into deep holes in rice grains, and there was a strange toxin in the spikes. The place where he was pricked immediately became slightly swollen.

"Everyone be careful, the vines are poisonous!" Jiang Wei was stunned and quickly turned around to remind everyone, but his reminder was also late. A tall retail candidate who followed the team was also stabbed by poisonous vines, but he did not have the perverted body protection skills like Jiang Wei. The place where he was stabbed immediately became bruised and swollen, and his whole person was on the ground and gasped.

"Be careful around and pay attention to these plants!" Two people in the team were suddenly injured by toxin vines, and the little fat Carl reacted and shouted.

"How are you...how are you?" The only woman in the team was quiet, squatting beside the poisoned candidate and asked with concern.

"I... I need time to force the toxin out, otherwise I am weak now..." The tall candidate spoke with difficulty and his face was extremely pale. He had sat cross-legged on the ground, and a few golden energy rays rose from Dantian and rushed to the poisoned place.

"Get out of here quickly. There are poisonous vines on the trees near here!" Carl observed the situation around him, and his face changed greatly. The big trees around him were actually wrapped in this thick needle-piercing vine like a python.

"Don't leave me, wait for me..." As soon as the tall candidate saw Carl and others ready to leave, he quickly grabbed the nearest Carl's foot and pleaded in his eyes.

Carl kicked the tall man to the ground without hesitation: "Just stay here for a while. Anyway, no one will be eliminated in this assessment." Then he ignored the curses behind him and was the first to run quickly to the predetermined route.

When passing by Jiang Wei, the fat man stopped and looked at Jiang Wei: "Are you all the matter?"

Jiang Wei shook his head: "It's okay." Lifting the injured hand just now and shaking it to the fat man, the swollen wound has dripped a few drops of black blood, and the whole palm of the hand has regained a healthy complexion.

"Well, you continue to drive in front. Be careful. The forest is strange. We'd better go to the other side of the forest before dark."

"Ye." Jiang Wei took a look at the little fat man, nodded, and secretly praised in his heart: "This little fat man is really decisive and fierce. It seems that he plays the role of a military division among the four Scott."

Still marched along the edge of the forest for a few hours, and there was no danger along the way. Everyone encountered some fierce and vicious carnivorous plants, such as man-eating flowers, bomb bread fruits, poisonous vines, etc. Fortunately, everyone has been vigilant and no one is injured.

Jiang Wei walked as he walked, and suddenly smelled an unusual smell of blood in his nose. He suddenly raised his head and looked above his head.
