The myth revives, I can enter the apocalypse

Chapter 153 The Exam Begins

"Everyone, this exam is the same as the last one. Everyone will be issued a piece of golden light armor to ensure your safety."

"But the golden light armor is not foolproof. It will only be triggered if it hits key parts such as the torso and head. It does not protect the limbs."

"And among you, many students have already broken through their innate abilities and become stronger. Many times they cannot control their strength and will be injured even if they are blocked by golden light armor!"

"In previous years' assessments, one or two students would be injured or even disabled in each session!"

"So, all students must pay attention to safety. If you are found to have maliciously harmed others, you will be immediately disqualified from the exam! There will also be severe punishment!"

"At the same time, if you are lost in the tomb and your resources are exhausted, abandon the exam in time and ask for help. Don't force it!"

Before the entrance to the spiritual realm, Sun Zhenyuan reminded the students in Jiangcheng of the final precautions.

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "All students should wear locators and enter the ancient tomb in an orderly manner."

Chen Jin mixed in the crowd and looked at the entrance in front of him curiously. At first glance, it looked like an inconspicuous cave on the mountainside. He believed it was a cave where bears hibernated. Who would have thought that it was the entrance to an ancient tomb.

There are eight such entrances. After students from the four schools enter, each team will be randomly assigned to the sixteen camps on the first level. After the assessment begins, they can move freely.

"This is your locator. If it is damaged during the competition, please go to the camp to replace it in time."

While Chen Jin was thinking secretly, a staff member put a bracelet on Chen Jin. There was a small screen in the middle of the bracelet with a flashing bright spot on it, but nothing else.

"This light spot represents your position, and the area marked in red is the 'scoring area'." The staff explained.

Chen Jin nodded. The score for the joint examination of the four schools is the sum of the survival score and the treasure hunting score. The survival score will only increase if you are in the "scoring area". This is to prevent some teams from finding a corner. Keep hiding.

At the beginning, the entire tomb is a scoring area, which will gradually shrink as the competition progresses, and the points will be higher and higher every hour.

Of course, the survival score is also related to the ranking, and those at the top will get extra points.

Chen Jin stretched out his finger and swiped the bracelet casually a few times, and found that this little thing had many functions, such as displaying real-time rankings, detecting real-time depth, and sending rescue signals.

"Be sure to keep it safe," the staff member warned again.

Chen Jin responded, passed the staff and followed the team into the ancient tomb.

Not long after entering the ancient tomb, Chen Jin felt a cold air coming towards him. After turning a corner, all the light behind him disappeared, leaving only the candlelight at the front of the team.

"The cold air here is much stronger than in the tomb of King Ming." Chen Jin thought to himself.

He guessed that this was to assess students' comprehensive qualities such as utilization and allocation of resources, as well as route planning.

The camp is only on the first floor, and the high-level secret treasures are basically below the fourth floor. With the breadth and complexity of this tomb, it is necessary to calculate enough supplies for the round trip in advance, otherwise if the flames are exhausted in the deep layers, the Yin Qi will be enough If you freeze someone to death and don't call for help, you may even be left with hidden injuries for a lifetime!
Of course, this is only for ordinary students. With Chen Jin's strong Qi and blood, as long as he doesn't reach the bottom, it won't be a big deal even if there is no flame.

Soon, students from the four schools entered the ancient tomb, and were led by staff to the sixteen camps on the first level in the order obtained by drawing lots.

"Chen Jin, our school only cares about you!"

Along the way, students from Jiangcheng shouted to Chen Jin from time to time.

Chen Jin just nodded lightly: "I'll try my best."

An Liang naturally wanted this kind of treatment, and her response was simple: "Leave it to me, and I will win the top three with Chen Jin."

This answer made the students in Jiangcheng very excited. It was naturally great news that the two big guys could put aside their previous differences and join forces.

Li Junjie quietly told Chen Jin that there were even CP fans of the two of them on the forum, saying that he and An Liang were in love with each other, and those who were not fans of CP pointed at them to achieve good results, which made other students in Jiangcheng follow suit. Take advantage of it.

It's best to beat Guangfu and Pengcheng hard and give them a good fight!

Speaking of this, Li Junjie gritted his teeth: "Ajin, you don't know, the students from those two schools are so arrogant that they don't take us seriously at all."

"Yes, Ah Jin," Guo Qingge also echoed, "His grandma is so amazing from a big city. Does he really regard his background as his own ability?"

Looking at the indignant Guo Qingge, Chen Jin was speechless for a moment, "Brother, why do you, a rich second-generation playboy, have the nerve to say that others rely on their background?"

However, he also knew that in just a few days, the atmosphere among the four schools had become intense. There was no atmosphere of friendly competition at all, and instead they disliked each other.

He heard that the students at the top of Guangfu and Pengcheng Wuguo High School were quite low-key and focused on preparing for the joint entrance examination of the four schools, but some dudes who were neither good nor bad often came to "harass" the girls in their schools.

Well, at least Li Junjie used the word "harassment".

Like Xia Duoduo and Shen Qianshuang, she can be asked for WeChat messages more than ten times a day.

As for private rivalries, there are more. According to Guo Qingge and Jiang Zhun, they can fight with the rich second generation of Pengcheng in Guangfu when they go to nightclubs to dance.

"Under this situation, I'm afraid if every school will automatically form a camp as An Liang said, Jiangcheng's situation will be very difficult. No wonder she wants to join forces with us."

"Although An Liang has outstanding strength, it is impossible to defeat one against a hundred, not to mention that she has not yet broken through the innateness."

Just as Chen Jin was thinking to himself, he, Xia Duoduo and others had been taken to the assigned camp.

Their location is Camp Nine.

Many teams have gathered here, and each team is preparing the necessary supplies.

Chen Jin scanned around and found an acquaintance.

Qin Yue.

At this time, he was leaning against a stone pillar with his hands in his pockets. Next to him, a gentle-looking young man was directing his men to stuff food and fuel into their backpacks.

As if he felt Chen Jin's gaze, he suddenly turned his head and gave Chen Jin a friendly smile.

This person's face looks quite gentle, but he has a pair of sharp eyebrows, and his eyes occasionally flash with sharpness. Although he has a baby face, he gives Chen Jin an extremely dangerous feeling.

"Chao Xuange, the spiritual master of Pengcheng Wugao."

"A spiritual master in the innate realm"

As a spiritual master, Chen Jin naturally knows how abnormal the mental power is. The opponent has also entered the innate level. Chen Jin is definitely no match for the mental power alone.

One Qin Yue is enough for Chen Jin to have a headache, and if Chao Xuange comes next, he will definitely have no chance of winning. At this time, he can only hope that the other party will not attack them right from the start.

"Do you still remember our previous joint plan?" Xia Duoduo's voice interrupted Chen Jin's thoughts.

She handed over a communicator.

"At the beginning of the competition, we will go to Camp No. [-] to meet up with An Liang's team, and then start searching for traces of the secret treasure. Wei Tian, ​​it's up to you."

Wei Tian nodded solemnly.

Then, Xia Duoduo began to direct everyone to carry supplies.
Teams with relatively poor average strength will not go deep into the tombs to search for high-level secret treasures, but just wander around the second and third floors. There is no need to bring so many supplies. They can choose to travel lightly to speed up progress. For those who are ambitious, everyone must carry them. Hundreds of kilograms of supplies.

This is nothing compared to the strength of an innate warrior, but materials cannot be resisted by a ton of strength. A series of factors such as the occupied volume must be taken into consideration.

Chen Jin is the strongest. He carries a special backpack with a two-meter-long steel frame extending from his waist, like a portable cargo box.

Hanging on his waist is a low-grade spiritual sword, which is sponsored by the Ikon family. It doesn't have any special abilities. The main thing is that it is durable enough to withstand Chen Jin's abnormal power.

On the other side of the waist hangs the middle-grade spiritual weapon "Black Gold Minced Meat Chain" specially chosen by Xia Duoduo during the giant hunt. It is an exclusive weapon for the heavy armor profession.

This object is similar to the Shifang Death Chain, which can activate the spiritual power chain to bind the opponent. The difference is that the black gold minced meat chain is more domineering, and will continuously tighten the part where the link is cut, making it more offensive.

In his left hand, he held up a large shield that was almost taller than the others. The dark and hard metal surface was like a meteorite falling from the sky and burned by fire. The shield was engraved with seven ferocious beasts, which had been strengthened for a whole year in the wilderness. Seven evil meteorite iron shields!
Compared to a year ago, the evil energy on this shield was even stronger and almost overflowing. The seven beasts on the shield were as lifelike as if they had souls, which was daunting.

Chen Jin had experimented once before. With the blessing of his powerful real power, he could summon seven evil spirits after driving his spiritual power. Each one was equivalent to an unkillable fourth- and fifth-level heavenly warrior, and was extremely powerful.

He secretly estimated that in terms of grade, it could definitely be regarded as a treasure at the level of a royal treasure.

Of course, the weight of the shield has also increased by another 20.0 to [-]%. If Chen Jin hadn't broken through the [-] bottleneck, he might not be able to use the shield normally now.

For this joint entrance examination of the four schools, Chen Jin put all his previous preparations into use.Now, he is like a humanoid mecha surrounded by steel, and he can hardly see other people at a glance.

An hour later, as a bell rang throughout the tomb, the joint examination of the four schools officially began!
"let's go."

Xia Duoduo led everyone to leave through the west passage. Perhaps because she didn't want to conflict with them when they got up too early, Qin Yue and his party chose to go through the east passage after seeing their movements.

As soon as they left the camp, a deep-seated Yin Qi surrounded them.

"Crack."

Xia Duoduo, who was at the front, and Chen Jin, who was at the end, lit torches respectively, and the warm flames instantly dispelled the cold.

But even so, Chen Jin still felt "lost". There were only rocks in front of him, and the winding and forked roads gave people the illusion that he was going in circles.

A two-dimensional maze is complex enough, but this tomb is three-dimensional, sometimes going down, sometimes going up, and sometimes branching off into four or five different paths.

At first, Chen Jin and the others could still meet a few teams that set out together, but soon everyone was scattered in this huge tomb that was as wide as half of Jiang City.

Fortunately, with Wei Tian as a guide, by constantly checking the marks on the stone wall, we would not lose our way.

Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at Camp No. 10, and another five minutes later, the Anliang team also arrived.

Compared with the last giant hunt, the members of their team included two more scholars besides Zhao Jin Chui Tang Zhan Dao Dongfang Xiaocao.

After reuniting, everyone began to search for the secret treasure according to the established plan.

"This is a tomb from the Tang Dynasty, and its specifications are recorded in textbooks."

"In this kind of tomb, most of the secret treasures are distributed on the fourth, fifth and sixth floors in the middle, but there are none at the bottom. That is where the Yin Qi of the entire tomb gathers. The concentration of Yin Qi is far from comparable to other areas, and it is used to determine Feng Shui. hole'."

"Let's start the search from the fourth floor. Qing Ge, Jiang Zhun and the others will also help."

"Wei Tian, ​​can you find the way down?" Xia Duoduo asked.

Wei Dian nodded and carefully observed the terrain ahead, as well as the strange buildings and road signs that appeared from time to time.

"Let me see. Well, it should be this way!"

Under Wei Tian's guidance, everyone went down smoothly, and the bracelets on their wrists also displayed their real-time depth.

An hour later, the reading on the bracelet had reached an astonishing -3714m.

At this time, the Yin Qi becomes more intense, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling can be heard from time to time.

"We should have reached the fourth floor, right?" Xia Duoduo looked around, "The area of ​​the fourth floor is only one-fifth of the first floor, but it feels even more empty when we get down here."

Chen Jin looked around. Indeed, as Xia Duoduo said, there were very few teams that could go down to the fourth floor so quickly. At this time, the needle drop could be heard in the passage, only the breathing and heartbeat of their team. Even with Chen Jin's perception ability, They couldn't notice any movement from other teams.

Considering that not many teams had arrived yet, Xia Duoduo and An Liang decided to split up.

Guo Qingge and Jiang Zhun also led many people to help them find the secret treasure.

Several teams carry signal transmitters and receivers, which allow everyone to roughly determine the direction and distance to each other.

But in the intricate maze of the tomb, it is difficult to determine the shortest path.

Two teams that may be only 100 meters apart in a straight line need to walk three or four kilometers of corridors to meet up, so each team will leave marks along the way to ensure that the other teams can come as quickly as possible after discovering the secret treasure.

Soon, one of the teams made a discovery.

"We found a standard tomb. There are seven coffins in it. They are placed according to the directions of the seven stars. This may be to indicate the location of the secret treasure. Grass!"

"It's okay, someone accidentally stepped on the trap. It was my negligence, it's too dark here. Hey! Don't touch that!"

"Boom! Zizzi——"

"Ahem, it's okay. A little accident just happened. We got the secret treasure. It's a bottle of Yiqi Pills. It's only level one."

The voice coming from the communicator made Chen Jin want to laugh a little, while Xia Duoduo held her forehead and sighed, with a look of despair on her face.

Just like the last time they besieged Anliang during the giant hunt, this time their rich second-generation alliance also recruited a total of thirteen teams. However, the strength of these teams was uneven. Only five teams came to the fourth floor with Chen Jin and the others. .

Obviously, except for the two teams of Guo Qingge and Jiang Zhun, the professional abilities of the other guys cannot be complimented. In addition, they have been under the influence of high concentrations of Yin Qi for a long time. Even if there is flame, warriors with insufficient energy and blood will not be able to survive. The state will also decline significantly, which makes them basically unable to provide much help.

"Most of the first- and second-level secret treasures are ordinary elixirs or auxiliary props such as exoskeletons, which will not be of much help in battles between top warriors."

"We still need to find secret treasures above level three."

Xia Duoduo gave the instructions.

However, this tomb is so big, where are the secret treasures from level three and up so easy to find?Chen Jin only saw Wei Tian looking here and there. From time to time, he took out his pen to write and draw, and pinched his fingers to calculate. He looked like his CPU was about to burn out. After searching for a long time, he was still like a headless fly. Generally spinning in the endless corridors.

After hitting a dead end again, Wei Tian's face was full of frustration and shame, and she was too embarrassed to look at people while clutching the pen and paper.

Xia Duoduo comforted: "Secret treasures are not that easy to find. It's only the first day. Let's get familiar with the environment first. You have to trust your own judgment."

Wei Tian lowered her head and responded softly. Xia Duoduo was about to say something else, but then the communicator rang, and Guo Qingge's cheerful voice came from it.

"Duoduo! We found it! There is a closed stone room here, surrounded by auspicious carvings of mythical beasts. This kind of specification is a second-level secret treasure at worst, and it may even be a third-level!"

Guo Qingge's words made everyone look happy, and Xia Duoduo, who had been sullen, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone hurried to Guo Qingge's location. Fortunately, the two teams were not far away. The location displayed by the signal receiver was only 1494 meters away from them.

What made everyone feel even more lucky was that after walking in the direction of Guo Qingge for less than 5 minutes, they discovered the mark left by Guo Qingge's team. Following the mark, they arrived at their destination in just 10 minutes.

Guo Qingge's team was already waiting in front of the stone room, but when he saw Xia Duoduo, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you go in first to see the situation?" Xia Duoduo asked.

Hearing this, the smile on Guo Qingge's face became even more ugly. He pointed to his chest, where there was a faint golden glow.

Xia Duoduo was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "You were eliminated?"

"right"

Xia Duoduo raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Who did it?"

"The people from Guangfu are very powerful. They launched an attack as soon as they met. Even if I reported Brother Chen's name, it was useless."

"What about them?"

"You went in Duoduo, you have to avenge me!"

Guo Qingge's face was full of depression, and he felt like he was about to cry out of anger. This guy was originally considered a tyrant in Jiang City. He had been fighting with students from other schools in the past few days. He originally planned to show off his skills in the assessment. , Who would have thought that he would be eliminated within half a day of taking the exam? Who wouldn’t be depressed?

Xia Duoduo's expression was gloomy and uncertain: "First tell me what the other party's strength is. Are there any top-ranked students?"

Guo Qingge became even more depressed: "There are so many people in the list you gave me, how can I memorize it? I only know that all six of them are innate, at least Nangong Yuque is definitely not on it!"

Hearing this, Xia Duoduo was so angry that she almost wanted to beat up this guy who failed to achieve anything but failed. She had repeatedly told her to memorize the list before setting off, but in the end, this guy still didn't take it seriously.

But the matter had come to this, and there was no point in continuing to complain. Xia Duoduo glanced at Guo Qingge, who was looking at her eagerly, and was caught in a dilemma.

Chen Jin on the side also frowned.

This matter is really difficult to handle.

From Xia Duoduo's point of view, she definitely doesn't want to have a conflict with the people in Guangfu so soon. Even if she can defeat the opponent, if there is damage to materials or even reduction of personnel during the battle, it will be a disaster. .

During the last giant hunt, wasn't it because Lu Xingchen and Wei Tian's team lost a member of their team in an unexpected battle that the results fell far short of expectations?
But if I just endure it like this
Then the people's hearts are about to fall apart!
