Week 1: Kunlun Examination Center (Part 2)
Lin Bai went down the mountain without seeing any hidden beasts.
However, her vision was suddenly blocked by a dazzling flame. Lin Bai frowned slightly and quickly became alert.
She glanced sideways and saw a dark beast spewing flames in the open space in front of her. The hot air flow swept up the dust around it, and the temperature rose suddenly.
The dark beast had a lion's head, a goat's body, and a snake's tail. It was huge, and its fur was as hot as fire. Every time it breathed, it was like a flame explosion, and every blade of grass and tree around it was instantly scorched.
Lin Bai's heart trembled. The Dark Beast's appearance instantly reminded her of the Chimera in Greek mythology. She recalled the story of Bellerophon defeating the Chimera with wisdom and courage. With a sudden thought, she decided to try to summon that hero.
She murmured softly, "Bellerophon, the hero, stands tall and majestic, his golden helmet and silver armor illuminating the heavens, his spear in hand, his winged horse in hand, piercing the clouds and splitting the sky."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tremendous force surged through his body. A powerful light flashed, and Bellerophon's figure instantly appeared behind her. He was clad in dazzling armor, its gleaming gold reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight. A battle banner draped over his shoulders, a sharp spear in hand, his eyes steely, and he exuded an aura of unparalleled heroism. His massive winged horse spread its wings, shaking the air, as if ready to take flight.
Lin Bai's mind moved, and Bellerophon sprang into action. He grasped the bow in one hand and the arrow in the other, the arrow pointed precisely at the Dark Beast ahead. The bowstring uttered a deep roar, and the arrow shot out like a meteor, piercing the air with a sharp whistling sound, aiming directly at the Dark Beast's chest.
"Swish!" The arrow pierced the air, its sharp, deafening sound. The Dark Beast, suddenly aware of the danger, twisted its body, trying to dodge. But it was too late—the arrow had struck its vitals, piercing its chest.
Along with the sound of the arrow being deeply embedded, the dark beast let out a scream, and its entire body shook violently and involuntarily. A black poisonous smoke spewed out of its mouth and quickly dissipated with a whimper.
Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the dark beast that was gradually disappearing. She knew that the battle was over.
The exam room announcement sounded, and a calm voice echoed around:
[Congratulations to candidate Lin Bai for defeating an intermediate-level dark beast. Your points increase by one.]
Lin Bai wiped the sweat from her forehead, but she didn't relax. She quickly looked down at the map, confirming she was close to the exit. The shadow of Bellerophon behind her gradually faded into nothingness.
She walked towards the exit.
At this time, outside the examination room, many teachers were in an uproar again. The situation before them shocked them. Lin Bai summoned another god.
"Who is this Lin Bai? Is he from a powerful hidden clan in ancient Blue Star?" a teacher whispered.
"That shouldn't be the case. Wasn't she adopted by a rabbit summoner? She's an orphan." Another teacher was a little confused.
"If he kills someone so easily like this, the other candidates will be deeply shocked when they see the image after the end."
At this time, Lin Bai was extremely excited. After this summoning, she became more convinced of a conclusion: as long as there is a creature with divine power in mythology, it can be summoned.
The figure behind Lin Bai disappeared, and she felt her heart calm down a little. She felt the divine power still surging in her body. A god who is not that powerful will not overdraw too much, Lin Bai thought to herself.
She took a deep breath and scanned the map, knowing that the exit was only a short distance away, and her score should be pretty good. The accumulated points from high-level and intermediate dark beasts were enough to keep her from falling behind.
However, when she approached the exit, she found a blood wolf shadow emerging in the wetland ahead, and even the shadow had obvious scars on it, which shocked Lin Bai.
She suddenly remembered that Li Dong's god was also a blood wolf, and immediately ran to the wetland. She saw that it was indeed Li Dong, who was fighting with a group of bloodthirsty toads.
The toads continued to spray strong venom. Li Dong's body was already covered in venom, and her brows were furrowed, clearly in trouble. The toads were so numerous that Li Dong was clearly no match for them.
Without hesitation, Lin Bai summoned the hero from earlier, Bellerophon. A figure flashed behind her, and Bellerophon appeared, riding a divine horse with wings and a firmament. Arrows flew like meteors, instantly tearing through the air and attacking the toad herd.
Li Dong turned to look at Lin Bai in astonishment. The momentary daze in her eyes quickly vanished. Facing the swarms of toads, she didn't bother to think too much and continued to command the blood wolf, breathing fire and scurrying around the toads. The toads, fearing the flames, turned to ash one after another. The rest huddled together, huddled together, and poured into the depths of the wetland in an even more chaotic manner.
Seeing this, Lin Bai thought, and Bellerophon swung his spear, spinning low to the ground. The spear gleamed with silver light, sweeping through like a fierce storm. With each spin, the spear sliced through the air, severing the toads' bodies. Nearly a thousand toads were wiped out in an instant. The air was thick with the smell of blood and poison, and the wetland soil had long since been stained a dark green.
After a chaotic moment, the toad swarm in the wetland was finally completely wiped out, leaving the ground littered with scattered remains. The air around them seemed to freeze. Lin Bai and Li Dong gasped, feeling relieved but also nauseous and uncomfortable. The dense swarm of toads, each covered in pus-like bubbles of varying sizes on their backs, practically gave them goosebumps.
At this moment, the radio sounded, and a cold voice echoed in the air: "[Congratulations to candidates Lin Bai and Li Dong for defeating the low-level dark beast group. Your points will be increased by one.]"
Lin Bai suppressed the churning in his stomach, smiled faintly, and walked towards Li Dong. "The exit is right there. With so many toads, our score must be very high. Let's go."
Li Dong wanted to ask something, but then shook his head as if to forget something, then looked at Lin Bai and nodded.
The two looked at each other tacitly and strode towards the finish line.
As the two walked out of the examination room, the broadcast immediately began to announce, "Examinee Lin Bai has killed a high-level dark beast, a mid-level dark beast, and a group of low-level dark beasts, with a score of 16,000 points."
"Candidate Li Dong..."
The radio continuously broadcasts the candidates' scores.
Lin Bai's ranking is clearly first.
"Hahaha, you're awesome, Lin Bai."
Chen Chen came over quickly, his face flushed and his steps hurried. Seeing Lin Bai's condition, his brows furrowed, clearly sensing her fatigue. Lin Bai's face was pale and weak, clearly exhausted from overexertion.
Li Dong supported her, "Are you okay?" Her voice was filled with obvious worry.
Lin Bai forced a smile and waved his hand lightly, indicating that he was fine. "It's okay, it's not a big problem."
Chen Chen scratched his head anxiously, "I should have brought some nutrient solution. We're losing money like this, how can we do this?"
Just then, a voice was heard.
They turned and saw a young girl from the Rabbit Tribe walking towards them. She raised her hands slightly, and a green planet appeared in her hands. Lin Bai recognized it immediately; it was Cuifei, the same planet as his grandmother's.
"Let me help you recover." The girl's voice was soft and full of kindness.
The soft sunlight shone through her transparent hair, and Lin Bai felt that the scene was extremely sacred.
