{MTL} ✅After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

ch 10

  The monster combat test is a traditional project that has existed since the establishment of the Able Academy.

All the monsters in this test were real, 30% were farmed, and the other 70% were captured in the wild by the school's personnel, and put into a giant specially built for this purpose. In the test field, it is divided into multiple areas to simulate the living environment of various monsters, making this confrontation with monsters more real.

Although the whole process of the test can be seen and monitored, uncontrollable accidents still occur frequently.

Therefore, all freshmen must sign a disclaimer before taking the practical test.

But even so, people who want to enter the College of the Abilities are still flocking to it - after all, it is the most authoritative and influential school in the entire continent, and the resources and forces behind it are equally strong.

Shi An lowered his head and pretended to seriously scan the long disclaimer in front of him.

Although those lengthy texts are nothing more than curved lines with unclear meaning to him.

At the end of the disclaimer, Shi An pressed his handprint.

He stood back in the line.

Behind them are tall iron-grey walls, icy metallic in the sun, with an eerie interweaving at the top of the walls—the borders where the magic simulation and the real world overlap.

Since he has only taken the exam once, Shi An's ranking is the last.

He stood drowsily at the end of the line, hanging his head sullenly, listening to other freshmen's names being pronounced one after another.

He had never missed the snacks and game consoles he hid in the dormitory so much. .

I don't know how long it took, and finally

... "Shi An!"

Shi An woke up like a dream, slowly raised his head and looked in the direction from which the voice came, and said blankly, "Huh?"

Why do students still get distracted on this occasion?

"..." The corner of the college teacher's mouth twitched: "Shi An, it's your choice."

Although the interior of each monster area is connected, the type of area that you enter first often affects the difficulty of accumulating points for freshmen in the early stage. .

There are only 200 pass-through places in each region.

The order of entry is based on the results of the two assessments. The higher the freshman, the greater the initiative. You can choose the monster area you want to enter.

So this means that the students in the lower ranks will only be able to choose from the remaining areas -

Shi An blinked and looked at the only two lit areas in front of him.

One is golden and bright yellow.

One is an iron-grey gray.

Of course it's the first one!

Shi An made the choice almost without hesitation.

This time, the examiner's bench was not set up in the mock test field, but was located high above it, which looked like a command room that coordinated everything.

The oval-shaped room is very open, and the entire curved inner wall is a complete screen, which can give a panoramic view of the movements of the candidates in the actual combat simulation.

After hearing Shi An's answer, several examiners simultaneously showed expressions of indescribable expressions.

Generally speaking, the areas that can be left at the end are not very good.

Either the difficulty is too high, and entering directly without points is a death sentence.

Either the difficulty is too low, it is not only very barren and the density of monsters is very low, but basically they are farmed monsters, not very aggressive, and the number of points provided is pitifully small, even if the points of the entire area are collected, it is possible It doesn't affect rankings much.

And the area that Shi An chose...

Exactly the second.

A low-risk area without high-threat monsters.

Although it was expected, the examiner was still a little disappointed.

Of course, they had already heard of Shi'an's reputation as a waste, but after all, the other party actually made additional questions in the written test, so most examiners still have secret expectations for him.

... Maybe it's keeping a low profile?

But now, Shi An's choice has begun to make the examiners unanimously begin to doubt their previous thoughts.

——As expected, it was just luck before, right?

In the examiner's seat, Mu Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at the screen in front of him casually.

There is an invisible aura around him, which makes people instinctively hold their breath and retreat, not daring to approach. Even other examiners are slightly away from him intentionally or unintentionally, and are forced to become restrained.

Mu Heng's eyes fell on the back of the young man stepping forward, and his eyes narrowed slightly without a trace.

One of the examiners approached, and after careful words, he asked, "How is it, Mr. Mu, after reading so much, do you have any students that you are very concerned about this year?"

Mu Heng tapped the table with his fingertips. Check for a stop.

With an unpredictable expression, he replied indifferently,

"No."

Shi An opened his eyes in surprise, looking around at the suddenly changing scene in front of him.

"Wow."

He turned his head to look behind him, and the door he walked in had disappeared.

In its place was a shallow, almost whitish sky, with a fiery sun hanging in it, and an endless, rolling golden desert.

"Humans are really good at this."

Shi An pondered for a while, and then asked a serious question: "Do you think they can make a super horse like this?"

"..." The corner of the devil's mouth twitched.

What should I do, I don't want to answer this question at all.

It stuck its head out of Shi An's sleeve and sniffed the air.

After being silent for a long time, the demon worm slowly opened his mouth: "...Well, this is probably the area farthest from the abyss crack."

This place was really well chosen.

Shi An was startled: "Then you didn't remind me just now?" The

devil: "I don't dare!"

It was not sure if Mu Heng was nearby, so it could only maintain the safest state of suspended animation and hide it in Shi An's sleeve There is no chance to be reminded at all.

After entering the actual combat, because most of the scene is composed of magic power, and it is filled with various monsters, even if it is in a awake state, it will not be noticed - perhaps because of this , so that abyss crack has not yet been discovered.

Shi An thought for a while and asked, "Can you see the inside from the outside?"

"Of course you can." The demon worm raised its chest proudly—in the days when Shi An was addicted to playing games, it wandered around the school , I collected the information about the third round of the test:

"But it is impossible for them to pay attention to every student. The equipment inside will automatically monitor the areas where the magic power fluctuates frequently, so as long as we don't do anything too out of the ordinary here. If you act, you won't be noticed."

Shi An nodded obediently: "Okay."

He looked around and asked, "Now, in which direction are we going?" The

worm felt the breath in the air , pointed in one direction very confidently:

"Over there!"

It is very difficult to walk in the desert, and the quicksand under the feet will slide slowly, which is very exhausting.

Under the sun, Shi An stepped forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, leaving a series of lonely footprints on the golden sand dunes.

Not a single monster was encountered along the way.

As a cold-blooded animal that likes to sleep in caves, Shi An was stunned by the sun, and his walking speed became slower and slower.

Finally, after 20 minutes of trekking on foot, he slapped his face down, and sank into the sand in big letters.

The demon worm was thrown out and rolled several times on the sand.

It shook off the sand on its body and climbed back to Shi'an's side: "What's the matter?"

"...I'm so tired." Shi'an's voice came from the sand pile muffled.

The demon worm encouraged enthusiastically: "Sir! Cheer up, we're almost there!"

"I don't believe it," Shi An said weakly: "That's what you said ten minutes ago." The

worm: "..."

"I think Playing games." Shi An said sadly: "I want to sleep." He sniffed

: "I don't want to walk." The

devil: "......"

The abyss dragon! ! !

in the examiner's seat.

The battles in several other monster areas are already in full swing, and many new students have a tendency to form alliances. The dots on the map are intertwined and the locations are intricate.

Several huge screens are interlaced to present the battle situation, and the violent magic fluctuations can almost be transmitted to the high command room.

The points of several potential students are rising,

"This time the quality of freshmen is good."

"Yes, there are quite a few good seedlings, you can pay attention to them in the future."

"The top three are good."

"That Shi Rui is also okay, although the points did not make it into the top ten, but it seems to have begun to take shape. "

Several other examiners observed the battle and discussed with great interest.

Mu Heng raised his eyes and glanced indifferently, there was no excess emotion on his face, and he didn't seem to have much interest in joining the discussions of the other examiners.

He lowered his eyes and glanced casually across the desert at the very edge.

A lonely little dot lit up in the center, as if it hadn't moved for a long, long time.

Shi An's name was at the end of all the freshmen, and the point number was still a bright red 0, which looked shocking.

The demon worm stared, panting heavily, standing in the desert.

It has been persuaded to have a dry mouth, but Shi An has no oil or salt in it, lying on the ground still motionless, letting his body sink into the quicksand little by little, the

sun above his head is hot, the wind is howling behind him, and soon Bury the series of footprints left by Shi'an, leaving only the smooth golden sand dunes.

The magic worm racked his brains, and suddenly a flash of light appeared: "By the way, I remember that near the abyss crack, there seems to be a gray crow's nest!" The

gray crow, a species of half abyss and half continent, although a single attack They are not strong, but they are rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and they often live in groups, making them very difficult to deal with.

And most importantly...

they love to collect shiny things.

Shi An's head moved, and a thin layer of sand slipped from his hair, revealing half of his white ears.

The demon worm pulled his leg, approached Shi'an's ear, and said in a mysterious and seductive tone: "That lair is quite large, and it is estimated that it has existed for a long time. I think there should be a lot of good things in it..."

"!" Shi An got up and got up: "I have a good rest."

It was a success! !

The worm almost wept with joy.

But when Shi An looked up at the scorching sun above his head, he wilted again: "But it's so sunny... why don't we leave later." The

devil could not wait to go over: "This is a man-made desert area! The sun never sets. !!"

Shi An lowered his eyebrows and eyes sadly: "...Well then."

At this moment, a faint shout came from not far behind, at first thought it was a whimpering wind, but as time passed , I can gradually hear that it was actually a man shouting at the top of his throat: "--Hello!!"

Shi An turned his head and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

A small black spot on the dune in the distance was slowly approaching, and seemed to be waving his arms hard at him.

After discovering that the other party noticed him, the man immediately released his magic power and teleported a short distance.

Shi An blinked and recognized the person.

It was actually his roommate, Lin Yanming.

The demon worm slid into his sleeve.

The moment he saw Shi'an, Lin Yanming breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, I thought I was the only one who chose the desert area."

He scratched his hair, and a handful of sand fell down with his movements. She looked extremely embarrassed: "I've been walking for three hours, and you are the first person I met."

After walking for 20 minutes and lying down for 2 hours and 40 minutes, Shi An nodded, her face unfocused. Hongxin agreed without jumping:

"Me too."

Lin Yanming sat down beside Shi An with a frustrated face: "I know my level very well, I heard that it is not very difficult here, so I chose it. Here, but I didn't expect this to be such an almost unsolvable situation."

He sighed and glanced at his watch.

It shows the number of monsters he has killed so far: 10

, but the points obtained are only 5.5, which is not even a fraction of the amount of killing a large monster.

Lin Yanming turned his head and asked, "How about you, how many points are there?"

Shi An honestly shook his head and stretched out his hand.

There is a complete zero on the watch.

Lin Yanming: "..."

I thought I was already very good, but I didn't expect to meet someone who was more good.

He looked down at Shi An without a word.

The young man sat on the ground with his legs crossed, his back was slightly arched, a thin and bulging spine could be seen on the white back of his neck, his hair was messy, and his head to toe was covered with a thin layer of yellow sand. The sun was red, and a pair of clear eyes looked over silently, like some kind of pitiful little animal.

Lin Yanming couldn't help but soften his heart.

He sighed and compromised: "Forget it, you can follow me next, and the monsters killed later will be divided into half." After all, they

are also roommates.

Shi An thought for a while, and asked, "Where are you going next?"

Lin Yanming frowned with a headache, and said with a bitter look, "Of course, where are the monsters going? Light to kill such small monsters. It still won't work, the points won't go up at all."

Shi An recalled the address of the abyss just described by the magic bug to himself.

——It seems to be the grayish black area.

It seems to be called an S-class danger zone or something?

There seem to be quite a few monsters.

Shi An stood up, he looked at each other with frowning eyes, and said happily:

"That's good, it looks like we're on our way."
