Chapter 5 The Assessment Begins
Ten minutes passed quickly.
With the sound of a desolate horn, all the abyssal knights, including Fayuan's team, all retreated to the city wall.
Only Chen Gou and the other examiners were left on the circular platform in the middle of the overpass, with the abyss of strange mist rolling under their feet.
Chen Gou's expression was calm, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.
The blond man with the noble surname Azlan was the only one with a smile on his lips.
Other than that, the other four people all had solemn expressions, and some even showed fear in their eyes.
Obviously, not everyone came here voluntarily, and not everyone has the courage and awareness to fight for the future with their lives.
Suddenly, the voice of the big man in the air above came again: Abyss knights are born because of the abyss, and will eventually die because of the abyss.
We have been enlightened from the moment we hold the long sword, and you should be the same.
Thousands of knights died protecting you and your family in the past, now is the time for you to become knights and protect yourself and your family!
Children, I am here waiting for you.
For those who are alive, I will wear the knight badge with my own hands; for those who are dead, I will personally pray for him, so that his soul can return to his hometown, so that he will not perish alone in another world.
Now, go to the abyss world, use courage and wisdom to collect the demonic information and law props of that world, and come back alive.
Regardless of life or death, His Majesty the Pope will be proud of you!
The voice of big shot floated over the castle, and it kept echoing in everyone's mind.
Even though they knew that there were mostly bewitching elements, it still made people feel inexplicably excited, and suddenly felt that the abyss under their feet was not so scary.
What Chen Gou didn't know was that the big shot had used some kind of sound-based law skills, which could be regarded as adding a morale-boosting buff to these cannon fodder.
The aloof His Majesty the Pope doesn't even know the names of these assholes, so he is proud of them?
The super high death rate during the previous exploration of the abyss is there. No matter how beautiful the words are, it can't change the fact that the next one will be close to death.
The circular platform under his feet made a sound of mechanical rotation, and Chen Gou took a deep breath, waiting for the last moment.
Swish! Swish! Swish...
As the platform was completely retracted and the ground was empty, Chen Gou and everyone else fell directly into the misty abyss below.
The moment he touched the gray-black mist, an ominous feeling of being entangled in bad luck immediately rushed over.
The strong wind howled in the ear, making it impossible to think, and the picture in front of my eyes was changing rapidly.
After an unknown period of time, Chen Gou and the other five examiners found that all the visions disappeared, and they appeared in a bakery full of modern atmosphere.
The bakery was on the corner of the street, and there was no one else but them at the moment.
Surrounded by high-rise buildings, abandoned cars were parked on both sides of the street, and newspapers were blowing in the air.
A typical modern metropolis scene, but with a sense of decadence and decay in the air.
While Chen Gou was looking at the environment of this abyss world, the five nominal teammates on the side were doing the same thing.
Buildings hundreds of meters high, iron cars that can move by themselves, street lights that can glow at night...
A tall, pretty woman in tight leather armor showed a thoughtful look in her eyes: It seems that this is another abyss world with guns, we must be careful not to be attracted by those long-range weapons. The fire instantly killed.
The oldest and calmest-looking middle-aged man with a square face nodded and said:
That's right, the knights have reminded that although a single bullet from that kind of firearm hits the body alone, it can lose more than a hundred points of life, but if it is hit at a vital point, or is swept by more than a dozen bullets at the same time, our rules My body can't bear it either.
These are secondary. The biggest threat is the unfamiliar environment and unknown demons. Speaking of which, we are really unlucky.
Among them, the young man with the thinnest body and sallow complexion, even worse than the woman in leather armor, couldn't help complaining:
Many of the abyss assessments in the past were only dealing with demon invasions in this world. Being directly sent to the abyss world for exploration like ours is one of the most dangerous ways...
After the words fell, the people in front all showed solemn expressions.
The content of the abyss assessment is not fixed, but in any case, the one they are going through is among the most dangerous, and the overall pass rate is only about half.
In other words, half of the six of them may not be able to go back alive!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel more heavy.
Okay, don't say a few words, the arrangement of the knight order is beyond our discretion!
Among the six people, a young man with an upright face stood up and said in a deep voice: Hello everyone, I am Ke Ang, at this time, what we need most is to unite, and only by joining hands can we tide over the difficulties together.
Although our situation is dangerous, it is not without precedent that all members have passed. Maybe we are lucky, is this just the lowest level of a small abyss?
I suggest that we introduce each other first, including name, awakening level, talent skills and abilities we are good at, etc.
Then elect a temporary captain. Before the assessment time is over, everyone must obey the captain's unified arrangement. This will unite us as a whole and exert greater strength.
The skinny man with a sallow complexion said disdainfully: So, what you want to say next is that you are the most suitable captain, right?
The upright young man shook his head without changing his expression, then looked at the blond direct descendant of the Arishlan clan who had been silent all this time, and said sincerely:
Brother Dongli comes from the Arishlan family. He has undergone the most rigorous elite training since he was a child. He is the highest status and strongest among us, so I recommend him to be the captain.
Everyone showed surprise in unison, they didn't expect that his ultimate goal was not to be the captain himself.
I agree! The thin man was the first to object before, and now he is also the first to agree.
The woman in leather armor and the man with a square face also raised their hands.
For such a multi-person task, a leader is necessary, and the Azlan family is extremely majestic in the hearts of everyone.
So if it is led by an elite disciple trained by the Azlan, everyone can accept and be convinced.
However, that Dongli Arisilan showed a rebellious look on his face, and he stood up and put on a windbreaker and pushed open the door of the bakery.
I'm sorry, I'm a withdrawn person by nature, I don't like to act with people I don't know, and I'm worried about being stabbed in the back.
He walked out without looking back, and his figure quickly disappeared into the vast night.
this……
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect Dong Li to be so weird.
After a while, the man with a square face said in thought: If someone doesn't want it, we can't force it either. Let's choose another captain.
I think what the captain needs most is a calm mind and careful resourcefulness. Little brother Ke Ang has performed well in this regard, so I suggest that he should be the captain for the time being.
I think so.
The woman in leather armor stated that Ke Ang didn't say that he would be the captain before, but the behavior of electing Dong Li won her trust.
The thin man with a sallow complexion was also silent at this time, and nodded slightly, which was regarded as acquiescing.
Seeing this, Ke Ang said with a smile on his face: Since this is the case, I will reluctantly lead the team first. I hope that in the next actions, everyone can follow my arrangement. I will also do my best to ensure everyone's safety until Complete the assessment.
Now let's introduce myself, let's start with the beautiful lady.
He didn't specifically ask for Chen Gou's opinion, thinking that Chen Gou's silence was also an acquiescence.
Furthermore, Dong Li had the capital to look down on everyone acting alone, but no one thought that Chen Gou, who was obviously a commoner from the clothes he wore, had the right to object.
