Chapter 9: Fellow villagers, hold on!

No one slept well that night.

The shouting and screaming from the other side continued and seemed to be getting closer, so that everyone, including Ji Ruo, became very nervous.

This campsite has good conditions in all aspects, but its open terrain is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

When there is no danger, they can use the slightly higher ground on this hill to look out over the surrounding situation.

But once danger comes, there is no place to hide on the top of the mountain. If they are exposed, they will have nowhere to escape and will only become sitting ducks.

Fortunately, although the chaotic noise was getting closer, it did not affect the people on the top of the mountain.

In a state of anxiety, the chaos continued until dawn.

“It seems to have stopped.”

Ji Ruo whispered, "Do you want to go and take a look quietly?"

This idea is actually a bit dangerous, but even if you don't look at it, the strong smell of blood left by the chaos has already drifted up with the mountain breeze.

If we continue to stay here, we will likely be discovered by other monsters or demons that come looking for food.

It's fine if there are only a few monsters and demons, but once the number of enemies increases, staying here will be like waiting for death.

Liang Shixian also knew this truth, but he was still a little hesitant.

"How about we go down the mountain from the other side? Don't go there just to pick up points. In case something unexpected happens..."

Before the military exam began, all candidates were repeatedly reminded by their school teachers or parents - safety first!

Ji Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Just take a quick look. Those monsters and demons have come to our door. Let's take a look. If something doesn't seem right, we can just run away."

This was not out of caution, but he had been using his [absolute sense of direction] to find a safe direction throughout the entire night.

When the chaos continues, the 'safe' direction is very vague, and the 5% direction correction effect of [Absolute Direction Sense] is almost useless.

And now, Ji Ruo's [absolute sense of direction] actually pointed vaguely to the direction where the chaos occurred.

In other words, it is theoretically safe to walk from here.

Of course, you still have to be careful, after all, the direction correction effect is only 5% for now.

"But……"

"Squad leader, that's a wild martial arts exam score!"

Liang Shixian's mouth twitched.

What a wild martial arts exam score!

After struggling for a while, Liang Shixian finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just take a look..."

Ji Ruo thought that this was probably the effect of the title "Diplomatic Spokesperson".

A few people tied up the remaining blood rice with their school uniforms, put them on their backs, and then walked down the mountain carefully.

This small hill is only about a hundred meters high, and the slope is not very steep. Under normal circumstances, with the strength of a few level six martial artists, they can run from the top of the mountain to the bottom in a few seconds. But now they can't do that, they have to pay attention to safety.

Therefore, it took them nearly an hour to walk the short distance of a hundred meters.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Zhang Quan and Liu Neng saw the purgatory-like scene and vomited on the spot.

Although the martial arts candidates trained under standardized education cannot be considered flowers in a greenhouse to some extent, they have all seen blood.

But before the military exam began, the most he could do was kill some chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs himself. And because he did it himself, the wounds were very regular, so he didn't feel disgusted at all.

But now...

In the conventional sense, there is no rules or regulations in the battles between monsters and monsters.

Their weapons are varied and may be simple stone tools or simply hard stones.

What's more, most of the time they prefer to attack with their own body parts.

For example, sharp teeth, claws, sharp beaks, hard horns...

All in all, a rough look showed that there were nearly two hundred monsters and demons of various kinds dead here, the largest proportion of which were the green-skinned goblins.

Most of the dead monsters and beasts had missing limbs or their internal organs were scattered all over the ground.

The strong smell of blood was mixed with a lot of strange smells, which were both irritating to the eyes and intoxicating. Coupled with the visual impact, Zhang Quan and Liu Neng vomited on the spot.

Liang Shixian and Ji Ruo didn't vomit, but they weren't in much better condition either, and their faces looked a little ugly.

Ji Ruo didn't know why Liang Shixian didn't vomit, but Ji Ruo wanted to vomit, but thinking that it was the first time for him to eat such a high-end food as blood rice, it would be a pity to vomit, so he suppressed the urge to vomit...

"It seems that they are all dead."

Ji Ruo whispered, and then, without even thinking about the dirt, he picked up the mole-like monster corpse at his feet and began to collect evidence and upload it to record the test scores.

The people around him were still in a daze. Ji Ruo frowned and said, "What are you doing? Get started! You want to watch me go to a famous martial arts school alone, right? Hurry up and run after recording it, otherwise the smell of blood will attract other monsters and we won't be able to escape!"

"Ah? Oh oh."

Then several people took action.

A corpse can only be uploaded once. Now the watch has no signal, only storage function, but it can record repeatedly.

But after the martial arts exam is over, all the data will be uploaded. If the intelligent examination system finds through comparison that the corpse of a monster has been uploaded multiple times, it will be judged as cheating.

The martial arts exam does not prohibit teamwork, but it strictly prohibits multiple people from uploading the corpse of a monster or demon.

That kind of behavior is not part of normal teamwork.

Fortunately, there were a lot of corpses here, so several people divided it roughly into four areas, with each person recording one area.

Although Zhang Quan and Liu Neng have activated the rescue function of their watches, the inspectors have not arrived yet, so they are theoretically still taking the exam.

These points can still be counted towards them. When the military exam is over, if they are still alive, they can all go to college.

Just like Ji Ruo said, these 'scores' are like wild things. It's a bit disgusting, but it's fun to pick them up!

But Ji Ruo's brows gradually frowned.

Because he found something familiar among the blood-red color on the ground.

Blood rice stalks!

Who would pick up rice straw in a melee?

Could this be the place where the blood rice field was originally located?

But that location was clearly nearly 800 meters away from the hill where they were hiding!

Could it be that... the ground is moving?

As Ji Ruo was picking up the things, he was suddenly shocked by his own thought.

If this is true, then their situation...

"Who, who's there?"

Suddenly, a faint calling voice startled Ji Ruo.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a sturdy goblin lying in a pool of blood. One of its legs was missing, and the other leg was twisted irregularly.

There was a huge wound on its abdomen, and dirty internal organs could be seen wriggling slowly inside, and it was dying.

"Save me, save me, I don't want to die..."

The goblin said weakly that it no longer had the strength to lift its head, so it didn't know that the sound it heard was the arrival of humans.

Ji Ruo raised his eyebrows. This goblin was so badly injured that it must be dying.

Theoretically, there is a blood feud between humans and monsters, so Ji Ruo should not interfere.

But Ji Ruo is a good boy!

How can a good child stand by and watch someone die without helping?

So Ji Ruo ran to the sturdy goblin and pretended to be anxious and said, "My fellow countryman! Are you okay? My name is Ji Ruo, and I am a martial arts trainee who has been practicing martial arts for two and a half years!"

The goblin's eyes were a little dim, but its strong desire to survive still forced it to raise its hand and reach out to Ji Ruo.

"Please, save me, save me..."

"Don't worry, fellow villager! I have learned first aid methods and I can definitely save you!"

Ji Ruo said seriously, then squatted beside the goblin, put his hands on the goblin's chest, and said: "My fellow countryman, my first aid method is called 'Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation'. I usually see people being rescued in this way when they are injured on TV. Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

As he spoke, Ji Ruo's palms turned red, obviously he was using the Iron Sand Palm.

Then, press hard!

The goblin's eyes suddenly widened, his chest was squeezed with great force, and a large amount of tissue that didn't like being squeezed gushed out from the huge wound on his abdomen.

“You, you, you…”

The goblin didn't know what 'you' was and died before he could finish his words.

Ji Ruo was a little regretful when he saw this: "What a pity, you didn't learn the skills well enough and there's no hope for recovery... But don't worry, my friend, you will become my martial arts exam score and triumph with me!"

As he spoke, Ji Ruo raised his watch and scanned it, turning the goblin into his martial arts exam score.

"Congratulations to you for killing the Goblin Lord."

Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment.

Voice announcement? You're in luck!
