In the dark jungle, an agile figure shuttled quickly.

Two ultramarine pupils looked particularly bright in the forest.

"clatter."

Kurosawa stepped on a huge high rock somewhere.

Take a short pause.

The nightmares and little Shinings lingering around him gathered around him.

This is the second hour after departure.

Kurosawa, who has developed the power of nature and super-sense, quickly moved around the designated outdoor area, looking for the prop balls needed for promotion.

Unfortunately, I didn't notice anything strange for the time being, and the candidate bracelet in my hand didn't make any sound.

"I wonder what happened to the others?"

Kurosawa held the little Shining and sat cross-legged on the stone to rest.

Although he has found nothing so far, he is not too worried about whether he can find the predetermined promotion items.

In this assessment process, he has a great advantage over other candidates.

First of all, his powerful perception ability provides him with more possibilities to find the target object.

Secondly, his strong physique helps him run for a long time in the forest.

Unless his luck is extremely bad, it will not be difficult for him to find promotion items.

What he needs to pay attention to is other candidates he may encounter on the road.

His current strategy is to quickly move towards the final base and then avoid encounters with other people as much as possible.

No matter whether that person is stronger than yourself or weaker than yourself.

There are more than 700 candidates distributed in a huge forest. The probability of encountering them is high or low.

If a conflict arises, it doesn't matter whether you win or not. It can easily attract other candidates who are aware of the movement.

Not long ago, a candidate rode a flying elf gliding high above his head, and he was very alert to this.

Because for some candidates, their strategy may not be to find promotion props, but to find other candidates.

Kurosawa took a few mouthfuls of dry food, finished feeding the two elves, and then started searching again.

Another five hours passed.

It was approaching dusk, and a figure was crawling in the bushes.

In the distance is a calm lake, and several wild elves are drinking water on the shore.

"Nightmare, prepare to use hypnosis."

Kurosawa gave the psychic command and at the same time winked at the Elf Nightmare beside him.

Nightmare nodded, understanding.

The next moment, its purple body suddenly disappeared into the air, just like ice and snow melting.

Half a second later, it appeared silently on the shore.

The lake at dusk reflects the last afterglow, and the water surface sparkles.

"Huh!"

Before the nightmare could use its skills on the target, the wild elves drinking water on the shore instinctively smelled a dangerous aura.

He immediately started running wildly.

Kurosawa immediately activated his spiritual energy and used hypnosis skills in conjunction with Nightmare.

Fortunately, the proficiency of the hypnosis skill is level 3, and he also had early warning, so the skill was released very quickly.

Although the creatures in the lake had noticed something was wrong and turned around to hide in the depths, the next moment they were followed by a powerful energy explosion from the nightmare.

A drowsy aura spread out, seeped into the water, and enveloped it.

Under the water of the lake, a half-meter-long big herring stopped moving on the spot, as if it had been cast on a body-holding spell.

If you look closely at its fish eyes, you will find that it has been covered with a layer of purple mist, without any sense of agility as a living creature.

Nightmare rode on the back of the fish, took a deep breath, and picked up the big herring from the water.

It "struggled" to carry the plump big herring to Kurosawa, who had already walked to the shore.

Kurosawa touched its head and said a few words of encouragement.

He's really lucky.

The air pressure was low today, so I happened to see this big herring with a prop ball hidden in its body come up to the surface for air.

Moreover, although the elves drinking water on the shore were inevitably disturbed during the process, fortunately, the herring was not let go, and the capture was successfully completed without any danger.

If you let this big guy dive to the bottom of the lake, it won't be that easy to catch it all at once.

After all, he doesn't have a water spirit, so he can't capture it underwater for a long time.

Moreover, the area is relatively open, so staying too long can easily attract the attention of other candidates.

He glanced at his left wrist.

The small display screen of the candidate's bracelet above has changed.

Replaced from "0" to "1".

The distance between the big herring and him is less than 3 meters, and the data of the prop ball in its body has been successfully transferred to Kurosawa's candidate bracelet.

He glanced at the motionless big fish in his hand, falling into a deep sleep.

He had no other thoughts and gently returned the big herring to the lake.

At the same time, let Nightmare disable the hypnosis skill.

When the herring touched the water, its head was dizzy and blank. The next moment it noticed two terrifying smells on the shore, it shivered and immediately twisted its body towards the bottom of the lake. In a flash, the figure disappeared.

.

Kurosawa washed his hands on the shore.

Looking at the sky, the sun was about to set, the light gradually dimmed, and there was only a trace of lingering clouds on the horizon.

"Let's go."

Without any intention of staying, he led the elf towards the forest.

Night falls quickly in the mountains.

Not long ago it was dusk, and the next moment it was pitch black.

A faint chill overflowed from the depths of the forest.

"Chi chi chi——"

Weird animal sounds wandered through the woods.

The forest was wet and cold at night, but Kurosawa had no idea of ​​lighting a fire.

After simply filling his stomach, he patted his legs and stood up from the ground.

The frosty, silvery moonlight was cut into pieces by the dense leaves, casting mottled light on the ground.

Looking at the deep dark forest, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Nighttime is a good time to be on the road.

Now that the points have been obtained, the goal of the next stage is to find a way to reach the final base smoothly.

The journey is not far, and if he runs at full speed, he should be able to reach it in three hours. Unfortunately, it is difficult to reach full speed when traveling at night, and he must be wary of all kinds of opponents he encounters on the road.

From time to time, he has to avoid the target in advance, which will add a lot of trouble to his journey.

During the day today, with his stronger perception, he had already avoided several encounters with others.

Perception is like an enhanced version of vision, which can often have an early warning effect like the sixth sense. Especially in wild areas where the field of vision is severely limited, the abilities of the five senses are blocked in an extremely narrow range due to layers of trees.

, the role of perception is infinitely magnified.

Whoever has strong perception ability will be able to smell subtle changes earlier and take the initiative whether to leave, stay, or take the initiative to meet them.

...

The night is already deep.

The stars are twinkling in the sky, and the number of stars is gradually increasing.

A full moon hung high in the sky, and the entire forest was covered with a light silver gauze.

The fog is a bit heavy tonight.

There was a layer of misty white mist floating everywhere.

"call out!"
