The birds then began to gallop on all fours, and even the horses that moved as fast as the wind were not spared. Those that fell behind were shot to pieces by the light blue light.
Next up are cats and dogs...
The iron-blooded rule of forced elimination hangs over the heads of all animals like the sword of Damocles, and no one dares to run away.
After a brief complaint, Zhang Heng continued to move forward.
"Come to think of it, I'm not the most tired one. The turtles and snails, as well as the cockroaches and cabbage worms and other small animals, would probably have to struggle mightily to climb the stone steps. At least I can still jump one step at a time."
If the top students can't compete, then compete with the bottom students. The key is to use a flexible standard and a spiritual victory method. Needless to say, thinking about this, Zhang Heng felt that his physical fatigue faded a lot.
But when he climbed to the 300th step, an accident happened.
"This is...?"
Zhang Heng clearly felt that the moment he stepped onto the 300th step, his body was squeezed by forces coming from all directions.
"Boo!"
Like the sound of boiled eggs being peeled or boiling bubbles bursting, such sounds rang continuously in Zhang Heng's ears.
He looked down and saw that his goose yellow fur was gradually turning brown, and the slight pain came like a tide.
"My skin, capillaries, and surface flesh were all ruptured by this strange force."
Zhang Heng muttered to himself, as if realizing something. The stone staircase tested not only speed, but also stamina and resolve. Advancing while wounded required not only increased stamina but also an unwavering resolve.
Fortunately, when Zhang Heng continued to climb the stairs, the strange power remained the same and did not increase.
Of course, Zhang Heng wasn't the only one under pressure.
On the stone steps far away from Zhang Heng, a fat sheep with pitifully small eyes was struggling to climb up.
This ground sheep, or mole, has left most mice behind with the speed brought by its huge body of nearly 30 centimeters, and has already climbed 400 steps.
But at this moment, its situation was not optimistic. Its larger size also put it under greater pressure. It was seen panting continuously, trembling and struggling to stand under the dual blow of injury and loss of strength.
“Bang!”
Its front paws were placed on the next step. Just as it was about to exert force, its body suddenly went limp and it rolled down more than ten steps.
On the other side, at the location of more than 500 steps, a big bamboo rat weighing more than 6 kilograms was moving with blood all over its body. Fortunately, the finish line was already in sight.
Compared with other rats, Zhang Heng's subsequent progress was much easier.
At a crucial moment, his primary self-healing talent proved incredibly effective. The wounds on his body slowly healed, and thanks to this, Zhang Heng suffered only half the adverse effects of his peers, and his speed on the stone stairs didn't decrease much. A few hours passed, and a platform as white as jade appeared before his eyes.
Two huge creatures were guarding the junction of the stone stairs and the platform.
Zhang Heng summoned up his last bit of strength, whipped himself up, and rushed onto the white jade platform.
"Hmph, great! You passed the test."
Zhu Jianqiang saw that Zhang Heng was safe and sound, and came over with a grunt.
Zhang Heng quickly looked back, and the tension in his heart relaxed.
This is because at the place where the platform connects to the end of the stone steps, there is a half-meter-high white square tablet with a line of blue characters engraved on it.
"Over 73% of the same race, competitive performance is D-level, and 200 evolution points are obtained."
After gaining another 200 evolution points, Zhang Heng only had the last 400 evolution points left to reach the next level.
"After the second life-and-death battle, I should be able to reach level 5 and gain new talents."
The anticipation in Zhang Heng's eyes twinkled like stars.
"Two creatures of this trash race actually survived. I don't believe you can survive the next life-and-death battle."
Seeing that Zhang Heng also passed the test, the Tibetan Mastiff was disappointed and dark thoughts began to grow in his heart.
After looking at his own stone tablet, Zhang Heng turned around and compared the two.
"Over 82% of the same race, competitive performance C-level, 300 evolution points obtained."
Zhang Heng was quite surprised by the Tibetan Mastiff's performance. Although the dog's character was not good, its strength was unquestionable.
But when he caught a glimpse of the stone tablet that belonged to Zhu Jianqiang, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Surpassing 99% of the same race, achieving A-level competitive performance, and gaining 500 evolution points."
"Pig Strong, I was right, you really deserve this name! You are the strongest pig I have ever seen."
Zhang Heng was generous with his praise. His speed, willpower, and physical fitness surpassed 99% of his peers. He was truly a warrior who had tenaciously survived the raging fire.
"Hehehe."
Zhu Jianqiang lowered his head and smiled foolishly in embarrassment.
"Tsk! It's just a fat pig! What can it do with more than 99% of its kind? If humans hadn't suddenly disappeared, it would have been made into a whole pig feast by now!"
In response to Zhang Heng's praise, the Tibetan Mastiff sneered with jealousy.
"you......"
Zhang Heng was about to retaliate when Zhu Jianqiang stretched out his left hoof and lightly touched him.
"Forget it."
Zhang Heng stopped there. He suddenly remembered that Zhu Jianqiang didn't seem to say a word to the Tibetan Mastiff. He didn't know whether it was because he was kind-hearted or simply looked down on the latter.
"A fool, a rat, they are indeed a useless race."
The Tibetan Mastiff thought that Zhu Jianqiang was just swallowing his anger, so instead of restraining himself, he became more aggressive and more arrogant.
Unexpectedly, Pig Jianqiang acted as if he didn't hear anything, and walked into the white stone house on the left.
