In an empty corner in the dark, Su Mu started sleepwalking, wandering in the maze like a silent ghost.
Along the way, he met many Nightmare Apostles. Those smart Nightmare Apostles had already realized that it was difficult to get out of the cave on their own, so they formed small groups.
With the joint efforts of these small groups, they obtained more and more mithril medals, but the disadvantage of the group is that the leader must ensure that everyone in the team obtains a mithril medal, otherwise people's morale will be dispersed.
If the leader dares to run away with the mithril plate, he will surely be attacked by everyone.
Although this improves security, it also greatly reduces the speed of customs clearance.
In addition to these small groups, Su Mu also met several lone rangers. One of them was the tall man covered in a black robe during the initial test. He was at Silver Level 3 and seemed to have no intention of forming a team at all. He just pushed forward all the way. Even when facing groups of nightmare monsters, he did not retreat at all and fought head-on.
The black robe on his body was torn into pieces, revealing a silver steel body. This tall man was actually a mithril mutant, but unlike ordinary mutants, he seemed to have the ability to control metals. Whether it was the mithril on his body or the metal contained in the rock walls of the cave, he could control them all.
There are also several Lone Rangers who have different abilities, but they are all Silver Three, equally powerful and capable of standing on their own.
However, what interested Su Mu the most was a woman, or to be more precise, a non-mainstream girl.
Her performance stands out among all the Nightmare Apostles and she is out of place.
This non-mainstream girl has colorful hair, black eye shadow, purple lips, and a big pink headset on her ears, playing exciting music.
She just listened to the music, swaying her head and skipping forward in the darkness. She had bracelets and necklaces of different colors hanging on her body, which made tinkling sounds as she moved. There were all kinds of exaggerated fluorescent graffiti on her black short-sleeved shirt.
She waved the flashlight in her hand around and turned it into a flashlight.
Unlike the others who were cautious, she just looked like she was here to party.
The non-mainstream girl was walking when she suddenly found something flashing with bright silver light not far away. She skipped over and saw a mithril treasure chest. She opened it casually and found a mithril plate lying quietly inside.
"Wow! Mithril medal!" She shouted happily and put the mithril medal into her pocket, completely unaware that right above her head, a huge pitch-black spider was staring at her intently with scarlet light flashing in its eyes.
Suddenly, the spider swooped down and pounced on the non-mainstream girl, but coincidentally, the girl was too happy to find the mithril medal, and happened to jump around in a circle, and the spider's cold and sharp fangs almost grazed her skin.
The girl didn't notice the spider because she was wearing headphones and didn't hear the sound of the spider falling to the ground. She continued walking forward with her head shaking.
The spider attacked again, attacking the girl from behind, but at this moment, the huge rock on the rock wall suddenly loosened and fell straight down.
Bang!
The spider was crushed under the boulder and let out a painful roar.
This time the noise was quite loud and attracted the girl's attention. She turned around and her eyes lit up: "Wow! Big Spider, come and take a picture!"
Take out your cell phone, get close to the spider, make the scissors hand gesture and start taking pictures.
After taking the photo, he satisfiedly edited the picture and continued on his way, leaving the spider screaming in its place.
Su Mu watched this scene with great interest. He had just used his mental power to sense it and was sure that the falling of the boulder was not affected by any external force. It seemed that it just happened to fall off naturally.
"Interesting ability, lucky?"
He had a vague guess in his mind, and he chased after the girl as if teleporting, soon surpassing her and moving forward.
After passing through layers of rock walls, he saw light. It was the light of the sun shining into the cave, which was obviously the exit.
"As expected, ability should be related to luck. It seems that I am walking randomly, but the direction is the most correct."
Su Mu understood that if he hadn't been cheating, the first person to find the exit would probably be this non-mainstream girl.
However, she can no longer be number one.
Su Mu released Yan Wu from the dream, gave him a mithril plate, and instructed: "The exit is not far away. You hold the mithril plate and wait in the cave. Don't be among the top ten."
"Yes, chief!" Yan Wu respectfully took the mithril plate, and then his figure disappeared into the darkness.
Yan Wu was one of his designated team members, so naturally he could not be in the top ten, which were the captains who had the power to form teams.
After arranging Yan Wu, Su Mu gently straightened his slightly wrinkled suit, then walked towards the exit calmly, leaning on his snake-patterned wooden cane.
Outside the exit, several examiners and a man with short silver-gray hair were waiting.
"Lord Sikong Zhen, who do you think will be first?" asked an examiner with a humble smile on his face.
Sikong Zhen casually flipped through the files of the Nightmare Apostle and the previous evaluation results. He did not answer, but asked: "Who do you think it will be?"
The examiner hesitated for a moment and said, "I think it should be Pan Ma."
"Oh? The Panma who can control metal and turn himself into a cyborg?"
The examiner nodded and said, "Pan Ma's strength is definitely unique among this group of nightmare apostles, and he is also very experienced. I heard that he used all his savings to transform his body, and even used some of the most cutting-edge technologies in the world today, which is incredibly powerful.
His ability to control metals and his body made of mithril make him almost naturally invincible, able to attack or defend, and extremely difficult to kill."
At this time, another examiner expressed a different opinion: "Although Pan Ma is the strongest, the cave tests more than just strength. If you only have strength but no brains, you may not even be able to find the right path. In my opinion, the first place should be Lei Yi. He is as strong as Pan Ma, and what's more rare is that he is careful and thoughtful."
Sikong Zhen listened to the argument between the two and smiled slightly, "I think the first place is not these two, but someone else."
The two examiners were stunned. "Excuse me, sir, what are you talking about..."
"Lin Lingling." Sikong Zhen slowly read out the name.
The examiner was stunned again: "Ling Ling Ling? There are people with this name?"
Sikong Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he coughed lightly, then repeated his words in the most standard official language of the Red Flame Empire: "It's Lin Lingling."
"Zero what?"
Sikong Zhen's face turned dark. He directly spread out the file and pointed at the page with Lin Lingling. The examiners then reacted and smiled slightly awkwardly.
"It turned out to be her."
"Sir, Lin Lingling doesn't have any outstanding achievements. Why do you think highly of her?"
Sikong Zhen smiled mysteriously and asked, "Do you know what her Silver Law is?"
