Chapter 046: Outside the Deep Cave

When the old man started to move, the black-clothed people only felt a flash before their eyes.

There was no earth-shattering noise, no strong winds, and no continuous explosions. The black-clothed people only saw those crazy spinning moon blades and flying prisms suddenly turned into simple energy bodies, twisting and dancing like a faint flame burning in the air, and then quietly dissipated.

The figure of the old man turned into a residual image, quickly moved around, and then returned to the position where he was standing. Everything seemed to be no different from before.

The seven black-clothed people, including the leader, jumped back to the ground and stopped running.

The leader's face was distorted, and he asked with great effort: "Who are you?" [

"Lin Liang." The old man smiled and said a name.

"Lin Liang, the dean of Longxing College?" The leader's eyes widened and looked at the old man in horror. Then, he maintained this terrified expression and slowly fell backwards.

At that moment, the other six men in black also fell backwards in the same posture.

"I ask again, who is the insider?" The old man looked at the remaining men in black, still with a kind smile on his face.

In the Longxing Academy.

No one knew what happened in the dense forest far outside the academy. Everyone was immersed in the excitement brought by the hunting competition. At this time, the students had been brought to the entrance of the dungeon by the instructor, and they couldn't help but rub their hands, ready to rush down to try their skills.

"I emphasize again." A grade director said loudly, "Although the insects in the shallow caves are relatively weak, they are only relative to the deep cave insects. For you, they are also extremely dangerous. I hope you can still remember one thing in the competition: although you are opponents, you are also the same kind, classmates, and comrades. If others are in danger, you must stand up to help him, otherwise even if you win, you will be punished by military law."

Then he waved his hand, and the operator who controlled the dungeon gate nodded to him in the control room and pressed the button. Amid the roar of mechanical operation, the heavy 15-meter square cave door in front of the students slowly opened, revealing neat steps leading to the underground.

"Go!" I don't know who shouted first and rushed out, and then all the students rushed down with excitement, ready to enter the cave full of terrible insects to show their skills.

Unlike them, Shen Zheng and the other four students were standing in front of a small door in a room in a building.

And the one who said the same thing to them was not a grade director, but the teaching director Chu Tianran.

"You must remember what I said." Chu Tianran said seriously, "You are classmates, this is a competition field, not a battlefield. Even if it is a battlefield, you are comrades and the same kind. I will never allow anyone to hurt comrades in arms in front of insects for the sake of profit. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The five people said loudly together.

"Let me introduce you now." A tutor stood up and picked up a data book. "Let's start with the seniors. Senior 2 student, Yun Tianfeng, 23 years old, insect strength: 90."

The five contestants stood in a row, and the instructor said while looking at the handsome man on the far right. The man had long black hair and slender eyes, and looked very charming. At this moment, there was an imperceptible pride in his eyes.

This is the man with an insect strength of 90 that Director Su and the others talked about. He is really young. Shen Zheng thought while secretly looking at him.

"Senior 1 student, Dumu, 234 years old, insect strength: 89." The instructor looked at the second person from the right. The man had a dark skin color, a square face, and looked very serious.

"Intermediate 2 student, Jones, 228 years old, insect strength: 88."

This is the third person from the right. He is a white-skinned and blond man with a slightly long face. When the insect strength was read out, he stuck out his tongue mischievously. [

"Intermediate level student, Luo Feng, 232 years old, insect strength: 89."

The fourth person from the right also has black hair and black eyes, and is sturdy. When his name was called, his chest straightened.

"New level student, Shen Zheng, 19 years old, insect strength: 89."

When the instructor called Shen Zheng, the four of them couldn't help but turn their heads slightly to look at him. Now this new student is well-known in the academy, and his name is well-known. The four of them have heard of his deeds, but no one has come into contact with him so directly, and they all have a little curiosity in their hearts.

And when they heard that he was only 19 years old, but his insect strength was as high as 89, the four of them couldn't help but be moved.

"Isn't this a little monster?" Jones muttered in a low voice.

And Yun Tianfeng frowned slightly, as if he felt the threat from Shen Zheng.

With a bug strength of 90, he became the best among the students and a future "senior official" who would definitely enter the military of Longxing Country. He was always proud of this.

But at this time, a 19-year-old boy suddenly appeared. He had a bug strength of 89 when he just entered school. This surprised him and made him feel a sense of crisis.

He had a feeling that his title as the strongest among the students might be taken away by someone else in the near future.

"The Deep Cave Competition is a comprehensive test for you." Chu Tianran said, "Reconnaissance, search, tracking, analysis of the surrounding environment, perception of danger, and combat ability. If any of them is not up to standard, it will be difficult to succeed in the competition."

As he said this, he signaled a mentor to open the phantom screen of the laptop, and immediately, the image of a six-legged beetle appeared in front of everyone. The image slowly rotated on the phantom screen, allowing the five people to clearly see the details of any part of its body.

"Gopher worm." The mentor explained, "It has a slender body, but great strength, and its shell has a very strong bearing capacity. It likes to survive in dark caves. It moves quietly and is an expert in sneak attacks. The insect strength value ranges from 80 to 90. This is the goal this time. The first one to hunt it and bring it out of the cave will be the winner."

"Understood." The five people nodded.

"Let's get started." Chu Tianran nodded, and a grade director pressed the shape. The five-meter-wide door slowly opened like a giant's mouth, and a staircase leading down appeared in front of the five people.

"I wish you all the best." Chu Tianran waved his hand.

Yun Tianfeng didn't say much, and strode down the stairs. The other people also walked down one after another, and then the door slowly closed behind them.

The ventilation equipment in the passage was good, which didn't make people feel stuffy at all, and the lights were bright, so people didn't feel like they were deep in the darkness underground. The five people just kept walking down, and no one said anything.

"They don't give any guidance and help to the newcomers, and they don't even explain the situation of the crypt. This is quite inhumane." After walking for a while, the blond boy Jones came to Shen Zheng and said with a low smile.

"This is also part of the test." Shen Zheng said.

"No, it's just to let the newcomers know how powerful the old students are." Jones was amused. "It's a trick used by the academy. You know, we are all elites in each legion, and we are all arrogant. The academy wants to take this opportunity to strike us down, to let us know that there are people who are better than us. I was also very proud at the beginning, but I ended up diving into the cave, crying out to the sky and the earth, but no one answered. It was pitch black and I couldn't even find the way. I couldn't use my abilities. Shen Zheng, if you feel you can't stand it, just shout, I will definitely go to help."

"Thank you." Shen Zheng smiled faintly. [

"Don't listen to him." Luo Feng, a junior, snorted, "He just wants to make you look bad. Shen Zheng, remember, everyone in the academy only respects the strong. A guy who asks others for help is not worthy of the title of a strong man."

"Why are you so serious?" Jones shook his head angrily.

"In any case, be careful." Dumu, who was one level higher, spoke up at this time, "You will understand in the cave that the level of insect power is not the only criterion for measuring the survival rate on the battlefield."

"We are here." Yun Tianfeng suddenly stopped at this time. There was a small square hall under his feet. There was a door in front of him, and there was a control panel with a phantom screen next to the door.

"Let me explain it to the freshmen." Dumu said, "Inside this door is a dark deep cave. The college has set up a ban inside. No insects will approach within 500 meters. It is safe. The rule of entry is that only one person can enter at a time, and it will be the next person's turn after two minutes."

"Who wants to go in first?" Yun Tianfeng turned his head and asked.

Several people looked at Shen Zheng, as if waiting for him to raise his hand. Shen Zheng felt that there was something wrong here, so he chose to remain silent.

"The freshmen of this year are quite well-educated." Jones smiled.

"Don't be too reserved." Luo Feng also smiled.

"I don't understand what this means." Shen Zheng answered truthfully.

Immediately, all four of them laughed, including Yun Tianfeng, who had been looking serious.

"This is the bad taste of the seniors." Jones explained, "The last person to enter is eight minutes later than the first person to enter, so the freshmen often rush to be the first to enter. But this eight-minute gap is useless because this is not a sprint race. The seniors will give the freshmen a chance - of course, this is actually an opportunity to laugh at the freshmen for not knowing anything, so that the seniors will have a strong sense of superiority."

"This person once gave us a strong sense of superiority, so now he is full of complaints." Dum said.

"Can you die if you don't take advantage?" Jones rolled his eyes.

"Look, Shen Zheng is much better than you. He rushed to be the first to enter before listening to the entry rules." Luo Feng said.

"Yeah, he is also much better than you." Jones nodded.

Shen Zheng laughed with the others, and the tense atmosphere of the game became much more relaxed.

"I said so." Shen Zheng replied at this time. "It doesn't matter who goes in first."

"Then I'll go in first." Jones shrugged, "Let you bastards laugh at me once." As he said that, he walked to the control panel and pressed the button. The door slowly opened, revealing a darkness that was impenetrable to the light. He walked in without looking back, and the door slowly closed after he entered.

Two minutes later, Luo Feng walked in, and then two minutes later, it was Dum.

When the door slowly closed, Yun Tianfeng suddenly turned around, looked at Shen Zheng, and slowly said: "Don't be confused by their superficial friendliness."

"What?" Shen Zheng was stunned.

"It's just a game, not a battlefield fight, that's right." Yun Tianfeng said, "But won't the game be more brutal than a battlefield fight? Don't forget what the prize of this game is - the insect core prepared by the dean himself. That is a priceless treasure that allows the power of the insect planter to leap up, and it is the golden key that may change our fate. Do you think the contestants will keep a normal heart in the game?"

"You mean the game process will be very brutal?" Shen Zheng asked.

"The rules only mention taking the target out of the crypt." Yun Tianfeng turned his head and looked at the door, "It doesn't say that you can't attack others. In the face of huge interests, anyone will not recognize relatives."
