Chapter 15: Hiding the cat is an expert at hiding the cat!
"There are candidates around here? And they're still alive?!"
The Secretary was surprised.
Although, in addition to a large number of examinees, there were also many inspecting warriors who disappeared in Wanshou Mountain.
But most of those warriors who were taking the examination were only at the Qi and Veins stage.
There are too many dead monsters and demons here, including some ninth-level warriors.
In a one-on-one fight, the patrolling warriors would definitely have the advantage, but the number of these warriors is not something that one or a few patrolling warriors can handle.
Moreover, the fatal wounds on these monsters and demons do not seem to be caused by human means, and the distribution of the monster and demon corpses is also irregular.
Therefore, when the chaos began, there should have been no inspectors here.
After the chaos is over, it will be even more impossible.
Among this pile of corpses, the most valuable things were the various materials from the monsters or demons. However, the director made a rough inspection and found that no materials from any monsters or demons had been collected.
Therefore, theoretically, no inspecting warriors have ever stayed here.
Then the only possibility is that he is a candidate!
After all, these corpses are wild martial arts exam scores for the candidates!
They don’t need the required materials, but for the martial arts exam scores, they only need to take photos as evidence!
"Great! These children may still be alive!"
The director was overjoyed and began to search the area carefully.
A moment later, he spotted some stingers of the Stinger Bees not far away.
Judging from their scattered distribution, these stingers were all fired in one direction, but were blocked by someone using some means.
There are even some footprints that look a bit messy!
He could almost imagine how panicked the candidates were when they ran away.
"There are four candidates..."
The director was even more surprised when he determined the number of candidates from the footprints.
He didn't know how these four candidates managed to survive in this Renxu District, but it was obvious that the four guys were still alive!
"Hold on, uncle will take you home!"
The director used the 'Jinghong Escape' and turned into a flying bird, searching along the footprints.
On the way, he found some torn clothing fibers on some bushes. After a simple identification, he found that they were indeed the materials used for high school uniforms!
At this point, the footprints were no longer mixed up, which meant they were out of danger.
"Good children, they are all good children!"
The director continued to follow the footprints.
However, not long after, the footprints stopped abruptly.
"What happened? Where did those kids go?"
The director frowned, and the aura that was originally faintly visible had completely disappeared here.
Here, we have completely left the area under human control and have entered the "mountainside" area.
"You must survive, I will find you!"
…
"I'm telling you, you have to be careful when surviving in the wild!"
Ji Ruo, who was covered in green, stood on the branch of a tree and said seriously, "Walking on the ground will leave footprints, which will guide the direction of the monsters or demons that may be chasing us.
So we can’t walk on the ground. Those monsters and demons who might have discovered our footprints and followed them would never expect that we can climb trees!”
Liang Shixian agreed: "I didn't expect that either."
As they were walking, Ji Ruo suddenly asked them to climb up a tree and move through the branches. Their speed was slow, but they did not leave any footprints.
Presumably, those monsters and demons that followed the footprints must have been very confused when they saw the footprints suddenly stop.
Thinking of this, Ji Ruo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhang Quan rubbed his green face in disgust and said in confusion: "I understand the principle, but why do we have to apply the juice of weeds and leaves on our bodies?"
Ji Ruo rolled his eyes and said, "When we were picking up points just now, we were all covered in the smell of blood. Although this smell may be difficult for us humans to notice, it is the most obvious sign in front of some monsters or demons with a keen sense of smell.
Without the smell of plant juice covering it, do you think we can still chat here so leisurely? "
In fact, what Ji Ruo didn't know was that if he hadn't done so many outrageous things, they would probably be more relaxed now, and they might even have been drinking the happy water...
But even if Ji Ruo knew, he would probably still choose to do it.
Because he just triggered a new achievement——

Liu Neng said: "Ji Ruo, you really know a lot."
"Hehe, not much, not much, just what I understand."
Liu Neng, Zhang Quan: "..."
We don't understand anything, we're so sorry!
Ji Ruo picked up his watch to check the time and said, "It's almost time, let's find a place to have lunch."
"Okay, okay!"
A few people found a rock sheltered from the wind as a temporary resting place, formed a circle, and waited anxiously for Ji Ruo to make a move.
There was no water source nearby, and it was daytime now. Although diurnal creatures were not as bloodthirsty as nocturnal creatures, they were not completely non-aggressive.
For safety reasons, the few people did not peel the husks of the bloody rice this time.
As a sixth-level martial artist, even though he is still a high school student, he is not spoiled.
Although the taste of rice that is not husked may be a little worse, it is definitely not inedible.
In this case, it’s nice to have something to eat!
"What a pity! I should have brought some meat with me." Ji Ruo said regretfully while frying rice with both hands.
There were so many corpses there just now, just take some of them, and now we can improve our food.
Liang Shixian said, "What's so regrettable about this? We don't have the conditions to deal with those pieces of meat now. If we carry them with us, the smell of blood will only expose our location... This is what you said, Ji Ruo."
Ji Ruo chuckled and said, "I just said that casually. As for meat... there is plenty of it in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. We still have to stay for more than five days, so there will be plenty of opportunities!"
"It's best if you think so."
Liu Neng stared in a daze as he watched the bloody rice in the shell being stir-fried between Ji Ruo's red hands.
"The teachers have repeatedly stressed that the martial arts exam is very dangerous and that we must be extremely careful. If we are not careful, we will lose our lives.
Although I am not a good student, I remember this sentence very clearly... But why do I feel that the real situation is a little different from what the teachers said? "
Zhang Quan smacked his lips and said, "Yeah, we've already had lunch, and it's blood rice. It feels like we're on a picnic... But I heard that every year during the martial arts exam, many people die of hunger."
He glanced at his watch again and said, "Besides, didn't the teacher say that after the distress signal was sent out, the patrolling warriors would arrive in two hours at most? But it's been a day, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
Ji Ruo was also a little confused: "Indeed, I can't figure out what the problem is. It's so strange."
Liang Shixian thought for a moment and said, "Could it be a bug?"
Liu Neng carefully checked his watch, nodded, and said, "That should be it. Our watches seem to have been unable to receive signals for a long time."
"Don't think too much. If the examiners don't come, then don't come. We are still safe now. Just be careful."
"Too."
At this time, Ji Ruo said cheerfully: "It's time to eat! Let's eat quickly and leave here as soon as we're done."
After saying that, Ji Ruo grabbed the blood rice with shells that had been forcefully fried without any disgust, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it in big mouthfuls.
While eating, the boy mumbled, "This martial arts exam was too random. I didn't meet any other candidates for such a long time. I thought we were playing a single-player game. I don't know how the other students are doing? Are they eating well? Are they hungry..."
