Chapter 263: examinees from the Xuzhou District
"Why don"t you go to the oasis to hunt monsters?" Isn"t there a greater number of monsters there, and the distance is shorter?"Feng Hetang asked curiously.
An examinee said helplessly, "The oasis is really too dangerous." It"s countless times more dangerous than the Blackstone Mountains. All kinds of poisonous bugs and ferocious beasts have appeared. "We"re courting death if we go there."
Many examinees nodded their heads. Although the oasis was vast and should not lack food, there were many poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, poisonous bees, and so on living in this oasis.
If they encountered these creatures, they would not be able to escape. If they were not careful, they would be poisoned to death there.
But going to the Stone Mountain Range was different. Even though the Fire lizard was extremely powerful, it was only one species, and it didn"t possess any poison.
"No problem. I promise."
Hearing this, Xia Ping immediately agreed to let these people hunt the fire lizards.
"It can"t be, is this for real?" Many of the examinees were stunned. They had thought that Xia Ping would have many harsh conditions before agreeing to hunt the fire lizards together.
After all, if he could extort, he would extort. He was extremely shameless.
"Lead the way." Xia Ping couldn"t be bothered to waste his breath on these people.
The reason he was so straightforward was because he wanted to get a large amount of food from hunting the fire lizards. With these people leading the way, it would save him quite a bit of effort.
The exam candidates were immediately overjoyed. They didn"t care why Xia Ping had agreed so directly and immediately led the way. With such an expert by their side, the danger of hunting the fire lizards would be greatly reduced.
Under the scorching sun, a group of examinees ran towards the Blackstone Mountains.
Along the way, Xia Ping and the rest also saw many corpses of examinees appearing on the road. Some were torn apart by the monsters in the desert, leaving only their bones. Some could not withstand the scorching heat and fell to the ground, becoming dried corpses.
This was the cruelty of this exam!
"We"re here!"
After running for two to three hours, Wu Tong and the others immediately pointed ahead. A huge mountain range suddenly appeared in front of them, with continuous mountain peaks rising and falling, layer upon layer of mountain ranges.
However, these mountains were bare without any vegetation. They were all made of black rocks, and there were even a few volcanoes that were erupting with lava. Terrifying heat emanated from the surroundings.
And in the middle of these black-stone mountain peaks, there were caves that seemed to have been dug out by some creatures. They looked dense and stretched to unknown places.
"Up ahead, just ahead." Those fire lizards are hiding in the cave. "We need to go in and hunt them." Wu Tong immediately said, pointing at a mountain peak ahead.
"Let"s go in quickly." "The sun is too scorching." Feng Hetang panted heavily. It was as if his entire body had been soaked in water. Even though he had advanced to the martial artist realm, he still couldn"t withstand such high temperatures.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A group of people went forward and climbed up the mountain peak. Like apes jumping, they soon arrived at the mountainside.
However, when they were halfway up the mountain, they met a group of people. They had already come to this place and guarded the cave. Furthermore, there were many of them, about 20 to 30 of them.
"Who goes there?"
A young examinee dressed in green immediately appeared in front of them. He shouted angrily, "This is the hunting grounds of the Xuzhou District." "If you don"t want to die, quickly retreat."
His voice was like a tiger"s roar, producing a huge sound wave that was extremely threatening.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The twenty to thirty examinees near the cave entrance all looked over, each of their bodies emitting a tyrannical aura. Every one of them was a martial artist realm expert, their gazes solidifying.
"Candidates from the Xuzhou District?"
When he heard this, Xia Ping rubbed his chin and looked at some examinees from the Xuzhou District next to him. He asked, "Do you guys know that kid? Who exactly is he? Why is he so arrogant?"
"He"s Luo Di from the capital of the Xuzhou District, Dragon Lake City. He"s at the four stage of the martial artist realm and is a member of the Luo Clan."
When an examinee from the Xuzhou District saw the azure-clothed man appear, his expression instantly turned grave. "He"s very famous and powerful. He"s the number-one person below Mu Ban Cheng. It"s said that he"s also one of Mu Ban Cheng"s best subordinates. His eyes are high above his head, and his att.i.tude is very arrogant. "Ordinary examinees like us have never been taken seriously by him."
There was a hint of resentment in his voice, as if he had once had a conflict with Roddy.
"What a coincidence."
Luo Di seemed to recognize the Xuzhou exam candidate who had spoken and said, "Isn"t this the Shi Family"s Eldest Young Master, Shi Fei?" I didn"t expect you to appear here. "It"s truly fate."
"But what exactly is going on?" Looking at your appearance, you don"t seem to be the boss. You"re merely a subordinate, yet you still listen to the orders of others? Truly laughable. I never expected that you, a kid, would wallow in degeneration and actually start being a lackey of others. "Are you trying to throw away the face of my Dragon Lake City?"
A sneer appeared on his face as he looked disdainfully at the Xuzhou District examinee, Shi Fei.
"You!" Shi Fei"s face sank, and he glared furiously at Roddy. He did not think that this fellow would slap his face in front of so many people. He simply did not give him any face.
Luo Di sneered and said, "What about you?" Do you think I can"t say anything about you now? Hurry up and get the h.e.l.l over here. Don"t make a fool of yourself here. A dignified member of Dragon Lake City"s Shi family actually dares to become someone else"s dog? "You can afford to lose this face, but I can"t."
"After the exams are over, I will definitely go to the Shi family to see what kind of education it is that has taught you to be like this?" You have no bones at all. "I don"t know if it"s because your parents didn"t teach you well."
Shi Fei clenched his fists, his expression extremely ugly.
"You"re talking a little too much."
Xia Ping narrowed his eyes and stared at Roddy. Right now, Shi Fei was his subordinate and was standing up for him. For this kid to humiliate Shi Fei like this, it was equivalent to humiliating him.
"None of your business!"
Luo Di sneered again as he stared at Xia Ping. "I haven"t even settled the score with you yet, and you actually dare to make my Dragon Lake City"s people your lackeys?" "Kid, you have quite the guts; do you know that this is a great taboo?!"
"Come over here and apologize right away."Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences!"
Xia Ping looked at Luo Di indifferently and said faintly, "I didn"t even provoke you, yet you dare to provoke me." "I have to say that you are very brave, and really very fat."
"Fat your head!"
"Ignorant fool, you don"t even know who you"ve offended."
"What"s the point of saying so much? Let"s attack together and take down this guy. "Let him know what"s good for him."
The twenty to thirty examinees behind him all sneered and looked at Xia Ping with disdain. As examinees from the Xuzhou District, they were used to being proud and arrogant and had always been tyrannical. When had they ever taken others seriously?
"Come here!"
With a swoosh, Luo Di attacked. His speed was extremely fast and vicious.
