Monster Paradise

"What happened to Misty Canyon?" Lin Huang was a little puzzled.

"A lot of people died over there recently. It is said that it was done by a mutated sword slave. Some silver-level hunters went in to surround and kill him, but they were wiped out. Later, many gold-level hunters went in, but they couldn't find him. That monster." Yi Yeyu explained.

"I don't know about that, and I haven't met that monster." Lin Huang raised his eyebrows.

"It's fine." Yi Yeyu was about to hang up the call, but suddenly remembered something, "By the way, there was an accident at the house of the little fat man who has a good relationship with you. You just came out of the Misty Canyon today. You should still I don't know."

"What's the matter?" Lin Huang was taken aback when he heard it. The fat man's message only said that something happened at home, but he didn't elaborate on what it was.

"His father suddenly fell ill and passed away. As a friend, you should greet him. I have nothing else to do, so I'll hang up first." Yi Yeyu quickly hung up the call after finishing speaking.

"Fatty's father passed away?" Lin Huang frowned slightly. He forgot to ask about the residence rights of A-level and B-level strongholds once the matter was interrupted.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Huang still dialed Fatty's number.

After a while, the fat man got connected, and his face was haggard in the video.

"Fatty, are you okay? I just heard about your family from Instructor Yi." Lin Huang asked quickly.

"It's okay." The fat man forced a smile and shook his head.

"Where are you, Domineering City?"

"No, at my hometown. I just finished the burial a few days ago..." The fat man shook his head.

"The last time I saw my uncle, he seemed to be in good health. Why did he suddenly..." Lin Huang asked in surprise.

"He's too tired. He's just an ordinary person's body. He doesn't know how to rest. His body has completely collapsed. The life light dissipation in his body is dozens of times that of ours, and he secretly hides it from us. Until it can't be concealed anymore, then It's too late to make amends." When the fat man talked about this incident, tears welled up in his eyes.

"I don't have anything to do these days, let me go and accompany you," Lin Huang suggested.

"No need, the regular hunter's assessment in December will start soon. You've stayed in Misty Canyon for so long, and you should have been promoted to the bronze level, so you should prepare well. It's a pity that I can't go. You work hard and try to pass the exam once." ..." Fatty knew that Lin Huang planned to participate in this assessment.

"Well, don't think too much during this time, take a good rest." Lin Huang didn't know how to comfort the fat man.

After hanging up the call, Lin Huang was also a little emotional.

Fatty's father was just an ordinary person, but he almost devoted his whole life to food, just because of two words - love.

Although it is not advisable to overdraw his body, Lin Huang admires his dedication to delicious food.

"I hope that Fatty won't be so depressed. If he can inherit his obsession with food from his father, he will definitely become a very good food hunter in the future..."

Chapter 158 The examiner made a slip of the tongue?

After getting the Emperor's Heart Ring, Lin Huang immediately signed up for the formal hunter assessment.

Another week passed quickly, and Lin Huang basically rested this week, but spent a few hours a day practicing melee combat skills.It's not for improving strength, but just to prevent my body from falling into a slack state, so I practice this set of close combat combat skills every day to keep my body in a good state.

Looking at the date, there is about half a month left before the hunter assessment, and it is almost time to set off.Then he took advantage of dinner time to give Lin Xin and Lin Xuan instructions.

"In the next two days, I will go to base 7b24 to participate in the regular hunter assessment. The assessment is expected to take about a month, and it will take more than 20 days to go back and forth. It will take about two months in total."

"Brother, can you come back before the end of the year?" Lin Xin seemed unhappy.

"It shouldn't be a problem. The Hunter Association will definitely consider the end of the year. After the assessment, there should be enough time to come back." Lin Huang nodded.

"Lin Xuan, listen to my sister when you are at home, and go to her when you are hungry. Usually, don't run around, and go with your sister when you go out." Lin Huang said to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan nodded.

"Xin'er, I still have a lot of animal carcasses here, transfer them to your storage space. Don't follow him and only eat meat, add some vegetables and fruits yourself. Credit me and I will transfer you some... "Lin Huang said, and transferred the animal carcass and credits to Lin Xin. "Don't be reluctant to spend money, buy what you should buy, use what you should..."

Lin Xin didn't say anything, but just nodded silently. She also knew that there were only two formal hunter assessments a year. If Lin Huang missed this time, he would have to wait until next June.

At noon the next day, Lin Huang bid farewell to Lin Xin and Lin Xuan after lunch, and headed to Baqi City.

After arriving in Baqi City, I found a hotel to stay in the central square, and the magic crystal spaceship set off one morning later.

After a night of rest in Baqi City, Lin Huang took the spaceship to the 7b24 stronghold in the early morning of the third day.

The trip on the spaceship this time lasted a total of eleven days, and the journey was calm. However, there were many people boarding the ship along the way, and many of them were going to base 7b24 to participate in the assessment.

No. At noon on the 11th day, the spaceship finally arrived at stronghold 7b24 located north of Domineering City.

Stronghold 7b24 is also known as Beixuan City.

There are a total of more than 180 b-level strongholds in the entire seventh district, and stronghold No. 7b24 is the earliest one established.

The stronghold covers a large area, more than 1000 square kilometers.Today, the resident population is over 600 million, and the floating population is over 500 million.In the b-level stronghold, it is quite lively.

After getting off the spaceship, Lin Huang found a hotel near the Hunter Association to stay in, which he had already booked before departure.

After arriving at the hotel, he went directly to the front desk to check in.

At this time, there are still three days before the official registration time for the assessment. Lin Huang intends to take advantage of these last few days to adjust his state.

Pushing the door open and entering the room, he rested for a while, and then began to practice the killing technique.

The Killing Art is a set of rare-grade melee combat skills, and the use of skeletal muscles has reached a very high level.

With every punch and palm, Lin Huang could clearly feel that he was constantly getting familiar with his body.And with the strength of his current eighth-level Bingjue, combined with the Killing Jue, the power is doubled.

Lin Huang has practiced this body-killing tactic for nearly 20 days, and he doesn't know whether it is due to the effect of the military attack tactic or other reasons. Although he only practiced for a few hours a day, the accumulation of skill fragments is not slow.

In the afternoon of the second day, his skill fragments accumulated to 6 pieces.

Xiao Hei's prompt box also popped up.

"Yes." Lin Huang hadn't thought at all before that he would be able to combine this set of melee combat skills into a complete skill card before the formal assessment.

Lin Huang immediately clicked on this new skill card to check it out.

Lin Huang couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the words in the remarks. He didn't expect that this time, he accidentally got a melee combat skill card that was as powerful as an epic card.

Originally, he thought that he was majoring in swordsmanship, and he didn't care if he had close combat skills. Before practicing this set of combat skills, it was not to accumulate skill fragments, but to adjust his state, so he only practiced a few times a day. Hours to rest.

Unexpectedly, not only did this new skill card come together before he participated in the formal assessment, but the result also brought unexpected joy.

You only need to practice to the sixth level, and you can use this set of combat skills to the power of epic combat skills. Now that Lin Huang has already practiced to the eighth level, the power will only be even greater.It is equivalent to an extra epic combat skill out of thin air.

"Very good. From now on, small things can be solved directly with fists, instead of drawing a knife at every turn." Lin Huang smiled self-deprecatingly.

On the third day of his stay in Beixuan City, Lin Huang got up before seven o'clock, had breakfast, and went straight to the Hunter Association.

The official working time of the Hunter Association is eight o'clock. When Lin Huang arrived at the Hunter Association, it was not yet seven fifteen, but there were already many people waiting at the entrance of the Hunter Hall.

Several liars shuttled among the crowd, selling the assessment manual, and a few people actually bought it.

A liar approached Lin Huang and pointed to the projection page in front of him, "Young man, we have a newly released assessment manual, which reveals the latest assessment content for this year. Do you want a copy?"

"No need." Lin Huang shook his head.

Lin Huang had heard about this assessment manual a long time ago, and this was the first time he had seen it.But he also knew that this thing was just recompiled by these crooks who put together the contents of the assessments over the years.It has nothing to do with the current assessment content at all.

The content of the formal hunter assessment is different every year, and it is impossible to disclose the questions in advance.These scammers are just trying to scam candidates who don't know the rules well.

Seeing Lin Huang's refusal so firmly, the liar knew that he must have read the assessment rules before, so he didn't continue to entangle, turned around and walked away to find other candidates.

Seeing people being deceived one after another, Lin Huang was also a little speechless.

But most of the people who buy this kind of information are guys who have no confidence in their own strength and are not sure whether they can pass the assessment.Some even knew the assessment rules in advance, knowing that such information was useless, so they bought it on a fluke basis.

In the square in front of the Hunter Association, there are more and more people, and more and more people are being deceived.

Lin Huang didn't know how much the booklet sold for, but judging by the number of people who bought it, it is estimated that these scammers earned a lot.

By eight o'clock in the morning, the square in front of the Hunter Association was already crowded with people. Lin Huangchu took a quick look and found that there were at least tens of thousands of people.

At eight o'clock sharp, the Hunter's Association opened.

A middle-aged man with a dark complexion stepped out. His appearance made the noisy crowd quiet down.

"My name is Xu Jinpeng, and I'm the chief examiner for this primary hunter assessment." The swarthy man introduced himself, "I solemnly announce to everyone that this primary assessment is over!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.

Everyone including Lin Huang was taken aback, "Could it be that the examiner made a slip of the tongue and said the beginning was the end?"

This was also the thought of almost everyone present.

"Now, let me announce the first round of elimination list..." Examiner Xu Jinpeng began to read names one by one, "Wang Xiaopeng, Zou He, Ye Haoxuan..."

"I don't accept it!" Just after the name was pronounced a few times, someone shouted loudly.

Xu Jinpeng looked up at him, ignored him, and continued to read his list.

"I don't accept it! If you want to eliminate me, you must give me a reasonable reason!" The man shouted again.

At this time, a liar who sold the assessment manual appeared next to the young man, "From today onwards, you will be officially blacklisted by the Hunter Association, and you will not be allowed to participate in the hunter assessment for three years."

Then he waved at the two crooks next to him and escorted him away from the scene.

Seeing this scene, many people were full of doubts, but some people understood it instantly.

"It turns out that these liars are faked by the staff of the Hunter Association... That is to say, in the first round of assessment, those who bought the manual are most likely to be eliminated." Lin Huang immediately figured out the joints.

It took nearly half an hour for the chief examiner, Xu Jinpeng, to finish reading the list of eliminations. There were a total of more than 100 people eliminated.

After reading all the elimination lists, Xu Jinpeng raised his head again, glanced around the crowd, and then spoke unhurriedly.

"Some people must have known the reason why these people were eliminated. The scammers who sold the fake assessment manual in the square this time are all our staff. The eliminated people are all the people who bought the assessment manual this time."

"The reason why they should be eliminated is very simple."

"First, before participating in the assessment, they don't even read the assessment rules. This kind of person lacks a sense of responsibility and doesn't care about the outcome of the matter, so he is unwilling to make even the most basic preparations. Our Hunter Association, exactly what we want It's the opposite, the kind of person who will spare no effort to do everything to the best of his ability no matter what the outcome is."

"Secondly, knowing that the information in the assessment manual is false information, but still buying it. It is equivalent to knowing that a piece of information is false information, but believing that the false information is true with a fluke mentality. This kind of person is not strong-willed. , it is too easy to be bewitched by others, and we, the Hunter Association, dare not ask for it."

"These two reasons are the basis for my initial screening. If anyone has any objections, they can apply for an appeal." Xu Jinpeng's words made everyone present speechless.

"In addition to the above list, all those who arrived after eight o'clock, congratulations, have also been eliminated." He added, "I don't need to give a reason for this."

"All the rest have passed this primary election. Now they can enter the Hunter Association through the gate behind me and participate in the next round of assessment."

Chapter 159 Tip: Weeds

The primary election came unexpectedly. It started quietly and ended quietly, and then the results were announced directly. .

This made Lin Huang roughly understand the behavior style of the Hunter Association - that is willfulness.

"It seems that I have to take it seriously, don't be eliminated by accident..." Lin Huang finally felt a sense of crisis.

Due to the needs of the hunter assessment, the Hunter Association was closed for this day.

Lin Huang and the others stepped through the gate and entered the hall. The entire hall of the association was empty.

There was only a small man standing in front of the information desk in the center of the hall.

The man was less than 1.7 meters tall, with a mustache above his lips, wearing a black dress, a black hat, and holding a black cane in his hand.

"I am Zhuo Lin, the chief examiner of the second assessment. First of all, congratulations to everyone who passed the first assessment." Zhuo Lin glanced at the people present, and raised his brow slightly, "There are still more than 1 people. Old Xu really disappointed me this time... It seems that I can only reduce the pass rate to below 50.00% from me..."

Although he muttered the latter sentence in a low voice, it was clearly heard by many candidates present.After hearing this sentence, everyone became a little nervous.

"Everyone, don't pay attention to what I said just now." Zhuo Lin stroked his mustache, "Compared to other examiners, I am a very gentle person, and I never like to fight and kill things. "

"Such people are even more terrifying..." Lin Huang secretly cursed in his heart.

Quite a few people also had strange expressions on their faces when they heard this, obviously they had the same opinion as Lin Huang.

But there are also a few naive guys who believe it and start to relax.

"The content of the assessment I arranged for everyone is also very gentle." Zhuo Lin continued, "The content of the assessment is very simple, it is treasure hunting."

"Looking for treasure is a basic skill of hunters, not exclusive to treasure hunters. Ordinary hunters should also have the ability to search for target items or find target people. In this process of searching and searching, many of your abilities are It can be exercised and improved. This is why, I set the content of the assessment as treasure hunting."

Many contestants listened with pricked ears, for fear that they would miss any information.

"This is what I want everyone to look for." Zhuo Lin took out a black crystal from his storage space, and held it up high.

Everyone immediately looked towards his hands.

It was a thumb-sized black crystal that looked slightly cloudy, like a worthless mineral crystal.But seeing how small this thing is, many people couldn't help frowning.

Thumb-sized things may not be found in a short period of time even if they are placed in the normal residence of an ordinary resident.

"Because there are too many people and the time is limited, I won't pass it on. Everyone will come and observe by themselves. Don't touch it with your hands, just observe it with your eyes." After Zhuo Lin finished speaking, he took a jewelry shelf and put it on the shelf. The crystal was placed on the shelf, then stepped aside.

A group of people immediately swarmed up and gathered around the shelf to observe for themselves.

Lin Huang didn't squeeze past, but directly turned on his extreme vision and observed from a distance.

Under the observation of extreme eyesight, Lin Huang could also see clearly.
