Chapter 81: That place is practically hell!

At this moment, the Assassin in the team stared straight at He Muxue with his eyes for a moment.

He was seen quickly approaching the female Warrior and saying, "Captain, shouldn't we take them out?"

The female Warrior Captain frowned slightly, glanced at the Tianhua No. 3 Middle School team that had already moved far away, and responded coldly: "Don't waste time on them. I sense an unusual aura in the forest ahead. I estimate there are more and stronger monsters there."

Upon hearing what the Captain said, a flash of light immediately crossed the Assassin's eyes.

His gaze turned toward the distant forest, as if he also wanted to see what exactly this unusual aura was.

"Captain, if it's really as you say, then we've hit the jackpot; we might even be able to farm more Assessment Crystals," the Assassin said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

The female Warrior nodded slightly, her expression remaining cold and stern, though she could not help but frown tightly again.

Through her Holy Radiance Power, she could always feel a Calamity Aura coming from the depths of the forest.

Since this Peak Secret Realm was the College Entrance Exam site, it was perfectly normal for Calamity monsters to exist.

In the future, they would primarily be facing Calamity Forces.

Adding Calamity monsters to the College Entrance Exam site in advance was equivalent to achieving the goal of early military training.

A few days ago, after news of the Calamity Invasion of major cities spread, although the five of them did not participate in the investigation missions, they had heard many terrifying rumors about Calamity monsters.

It was said that those carrying out the invasion were Calamity Elites from the Calamity Legion, with strength reaching at least the level of a 3rd Turn human Soul Professional.

However, that was just hearsay; they had never seen one with their own eyes.

They had previously only experienced virtual Calamity monsters in a Commercial Dungeon, but had never faced real Calamity monsters.

The female Warrior could not help but feel eager to try, wondering if their S Genius Squad could easily handle real Calamity monsters when they encountered them.

After all, she still had sufficient confidence in her squad's strength.

Along the way, whenever those examinee squads saw them, they would scurry away like mice seeing a cat, giving them a wide berth.

Therefore, with nearly half an hour of the assessment already passed, they had yet to have a conflict with any examinee squad.

"Yuan Wei, go ahead and scout it out first. If there's a situation, you absolutely must not act alone, understand?"

The female Warrior said to the Assassin.

"Got it, Captain, you can rest easy!" The Assassin wore an expression that said 'you can trust me to get the job done,' and after responding, his figure instantly went into Stealth.

……

After finishing off those examinees from Tianlan City, Zhou Chu did not leave the forest immediately, but instead ventured deeper into the forest once more.

To speed up his search and expand his search range, Zhou Chu continuously summoned servants from the Contract Pool.

After a few minutes of busy work, a large wave of undead servants dispersed, beginning to search the entire forest for living things.

Because he had consumed quite a bit of Soul Power Value while hunting down those examinees earlier, Zhou Chu took advantage of the time while his servants were out hunting to wait for his Soul Power Value to recover.

It was precisely because of the blessing of the S-rank Legendary Amulet, Source of Calamity, that the depleted Soul Power Value would be refilled very quickly.

Moreover, during this time, Zhou Chu had been stacking his Soul Shield on and off.

At this moment, he had already stacked over 50 layers.

Currently, the strength of the Soul Shield on Zhou Chu was already heaven-defying, capable of withstanding over 5 million points of damage.

He almost possessed an immortal body.

Furthermore, to prevent his God-tier servants from stealing his experience, after he sent those examinees out of the Secret Realm, he summoned Gadi back into the Hero Tomb.

During this period, Zhou Chu had already obtained over 190 Assessment Crystals, and at the same time, the number of Soul Fragments had also increased by a hundred or so.

If one were to ask who was earning crystals the fastest in the Peak Secret Realm, it was undoubtedly Zhou Chu.

Others had at most five to ten people, while he alone could summon thousands of contract servants to work for him.

And he didn't have to lift a finger; they didn't even need to be paid, and they were extremely hardworking and uncomplaining.

Although he did not know exactly how many monsters were in this Peak Secret Realm, Zhou Chu discovered that the number of monsters in this forest seemed quite large.

With half an hour left until the end of the exam, he decided to clear out as many monsters here as possible in the shortest amount of time.

This way, he wouldn't have to waste time searching the whole map for other people to kill.

After all, compared to finding people to kill, farming monsters for crystals was faster.

Having nothing to do made Zhou Chu feel a bit bored, so he found a tree trunk to sit on and took a bag of orchid beans out of his Storage Space to eat.

For an exam that was supposed to be tense and exciting, to be able to take it so comfortably—only Zhou Chu could manage that.

……

The Assassin known as Yuan Wei quickly reached the edge of the forest.

However, he did not hesitate in the slightest and plunged headlong into the forest.

He had originally thought this forest would be a quiet and peaceful scene, but he never expected that as soon as he entered, he would see several terrifying monsters.

They looked like zombies, but they were mutated zombies.

At this moment, they were waving claws that had mutated into sharp long blades, tearing a giant forest python into pieces.

"Oh, my dear mother!"

Seeing this bloody and terrifying scene, Yuan Wei was instantly scared stiff, his hair standing on end, and he couldn't help but cry out.

On the other side, several large ants, two meters long, were wrapping a giant python into a large white seed, tearing at the flesh on the python's body with their powerful pincers, eating with great relish.

Perhaps they had heard the movement.

All the monsters stopped instantly, and they looked toward the direction the sound came from.

Those pairs of ghostly green eyes and pairs of terrifying compound eyes emitting a ghostly green light scanned toward him, making Yuan Wei's skin crawl.

If his nerves weren't fairly strong, he probably would have already wet his pants several times over.

Fortunately, Yuan Wei was still in a state of Hidden, and after a moment of pause, these monsters began to continue sharing the delicious meal before them.

Yuan Wei didn't dare to let out a breath, and tiptoed backward for several meters.

The next moment, he hurriedly turned around and bolted out of the forest at full speed.

There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to run as fast as he could.

This forest is not just unusual; it is far too unusual.

When he saw that scene just now, he thought he had burrowed into a monster's nest.

Seeing Yuan Wei run back with sparks and lightning trailing behind him left the other four members of the squad feeling somewhat speechless.

However, when they saw Yuan Wei's panicked expression, they gathered around in confusion.

The female Warrior Captain hurried forward, grabbed the panting Yuan Wei to steady him, and asked urgently, "What happened? What exactly is the situation inside?"

Yuan Wei gasped for air, his face as pale as paper.

After a long while, he finally caught his breath and said with a trembling voice, "As soon as I went in, I saw several monsters tearing a Forest Giant Python to shreds, and there were also those giant ants over two meters long, frantically devouring the python's flesh and blood..."

"That... that place is simply hell!"
