after waking up.

Chapter 143 The Cursed Exam
A boy curled up and hid on a big dead tree, using the shadows to hide himself. There was a strange thing swimming in the darkness in the distance. That thing seemed to have no specific form, and was still twisting and changing.

"Benjamin, is there any way?" "Yes, Mr. Chakus, we will die sooner or later if this continues."

It turned out that there was not only one boy in the shadow, but also two other people.

Benjamin Charcus kept staring at the monster in the distance, whispering in his mouth.

"It can't seem to find us?"

"Indeed, it seems that the sense of smell of monsters is not as sensitive as imagined?"

"But those people who were together before will be caught no matter how well they hide."

Benjamin looked in the direction they were fleeing from. The dark and dilapidated castle was no longer visible. He shook his head slightly.

"Remember what Professor Jones said? We need to rely on our own courage. In the other world, civilized physical fitness is far less effective than willpower."

"You mean, they can chase our fear, but other perceptions may not be so strong?"

"I see what you two mean. Our fears are like a special body odor to them, but if we suppress the fear, like an old hunter covering his breath when hunting, then we can avoid them."

Benjamin glanced at the classmate.

"This is a special exam. As the examiner, Professor Jones must know what happened here. It is meaningless to hide. Not only will he not get a high score, but even leaving the exam room will be a problem."

The two students basically agreed with Benjamin's statement.

"Isn't this a bit too unfair and cruel for freshmen?"

"It's actually not much better for us, but it's still much better than the freshmen."

Benjamin smiled.

"There is still the strength to care about others. Not only Professor Jones, but other professors have mentioned more than once that the extraordinary world is not a world that emphasizes common sense and fairness. In reality, there may be more cruel situations than in the examination room."

"Having said so much, how do we get out? Don't tell me I have to die once, I don't want to experience that feeling!"

"Me too." "Me too."

These students who have calmed down only need to do a little arithmetic to understand that the death here is most likely not a real death, because if it is true, the price will be too high. Hundreds of imperial elites with extraordinary potential, only one class Eighty to ninety percent of them died, this is not a price Black Castle can afford.

But these students also understand that death here is not a good thing, even if there is no other price, it will definitely have a major impact on credits.

After all, most of the so-called regular assessments before were to check the physical condition and mental strength and measure the level. It is said that the assessment is actually more like a physical examination.

And this time, it's the real test!

"Imagination, imagination, the professor said that in addition to maintaining courage, you must also use imagination."

"how should I do it?"

Benjamin looked into the distance, at the endless forest full of dead trees.

"Professors will not let us fall into an absolute dead end, even for freshmen, which means that the methods must be used by freshmen."

"New students? Most of their physical fitness has not entered the state of physical enlightenment, is it possible?"

Benjamin didn't speak anymore, he kept looking at the strange monster in the distance.

"We have been running away, haven't we tried to attack the monster?"

"Attack?" "You mean"

Benjamin began to grope around, and then found a lighter.

"Flame is the easiest power to obtain and has a certain effect on most strange things. The most common here are dead trees. It's worth a try!"

"Don't."

"You don't have to come with me, I will try."

After speaking, Benjamin had already jumped to another dead tree. The two students were taken aback for a moment, then gritted their teeth and followed.

Mulan was still standing on the top of the castle. When all the students were out of sight of the castle, in Mulan's eyes, it seemed as if they could look directly at them.

Suddenly, a conspicuous fire rose from the distant woodland. The flame was still jumping and moving rapidly, and soon began to spread.

"Oh? Finally, some students started to fight back?"

But soon Mu Lan frowned again, because screams had already been heard from that direction, but the flames did not stop.

Benjamin and another student were jumping between the dead trees. They held torches in their hands and kept trying to ignite the dead branches. The enlightened physical fitness supported their high-speed movement, but the black shadow behind them was even faster, and its mouth was still talking. Blood was spilling out, and the student's screams and wailing seemed to be in the belly of a monster.

"Student Chakus, you can't do this! It won't work!"

"It works, it's avoiding the flames!"

"But we'll die first—"

The two kept jumping, and more than a dozen big trees had already been ignited, but although the monster was avoiding the flames, it was still much faster than them.

"what--"

Another student was directly bitten off with one hand, and blood splattered out. He ran away in extreme panic. Although his arm was broken, he broke out at a much faster speed than before, but the speed of the monster was faster than before. Come over, as if to suck on him, devouring his blood continuously.

"No, no, don't come here!"

"Conquer fear! Don't be afraid, you must"

"what--"

The screams overwhelmed Benjamin's shouts, and made his hair stand on end. The classmate was sucked into the monster's mouth, like sucking sugar cane. While chewing, he sucked flesh and blood. Gradually bloated, as if something was conceived in the stomach.

I'm the only one left!Benjamin couldn't help but feel fear in his heart, and at this moment, the monster suddenly turned his head and looked at him. The bloated body twisted and came to him. The powerful negativity had filled the entire area, triggering all the fragility in people's hearts.

Benjamin fell into fear again, but although his speed was increasing, the monster was getting closer and closer.

'To overcome fear, to overcome fear, no, no, it's getting closer! '

Benjamin was ashamed, as if his soul had left his decayed body. He knew that fear once again occupied his heart, and he might die.

To stop it, to stop it, I don't want to die, I can't die!
The fear in his heart intensified, but the corner of Benjamin's mouth was bleeding from his own teeth. The blood was originally gray-black, but now it was a little red.

"Even if you die, you can't be eaten like this!"

Benjamin stepped on the tree trunk in front of him hard, and turned around directly with his strength. He was facing the twisted body of the monster. He could even see the painful faces of two classmates ups and downs in his stomach.

That's one long second.

Benjamin's eyes widened, his pupils contracted, and the torch in his hand was in front of him. His heart seemed to have stopped beating, as if it was tightly clenched by a big hand, and it shrank into his chest. Endless emotions were playing out, and he couldn't tell what fear, excitement, and unwillingness were. Plant more.

"flame--"

A hysterical roar sounded from Benjamin's mouth.

boom -

The torch in his hand extended to both sides in an instant, and the flames of more than a dozen lit trees instantly joined together to form a huge ring-shaped wall of fire.

Mu Lan looked at the magnificent ring of fire in the forest from a distance, stared at it for a while and nodded slightly, but did not look at the result again, and turned his gaze to another direction, and there seemed to be more interesting changes in the distance.

There were also only three people left on Hathaway's side, Hathaway herself, senior Ma Lin, and a senior Jenny who was relatively unfamiliar to Hathaway.

The three of them were panting in the hollow of a big dead tree, apparently they had just escaped.

"What should we do?" "Can't we get out?"

Jenny said helplessly, and Marlene was also a little frustrated.

"It's been so long, how many other people are still alive? Should they all be dead?"

"Aren't we going too soon?"

Hathaway looked at the two seniors, and she found that the anger on their faces seemed to be much less, and the gray complexion in the other world became even darker, almost like a dead body.

"Professor Jones won't watch us die"

"Don't be stupid—don't be a nympho—the professor is a nobleman, the queen's guardian knight, and an extraordinary person. Do you know what extraordinary is? Beyond ordinary people, we are ordinary people! He won't care about us little girls Damn it! How many people are dead already? Do you still say he won't let his life die? Don't be stupid—”

Jenny suddenly yelled at Hathaway.

Hathaway was stunned and at a loss, Marlene was also taken aback, and then recalled when Louise died, feeling guilty and uneasy.

"Jenny, it's okay, we are with you"

Ma Lin didn't dare to say things that were too irritating to the other party, after all, the importance of soothing emotions was self-evident here.

Jenny hugged her knees and curled up in a corner, seemingly not responding to Marlene's words, but she didn't seem to attract any monsters either.

Hathaway looked into the distance through the tree hole, which was the direction of the castle. She still firmly believed that Mulan would not give up on the students. At least, Hathaway imagined that Mulan would at least not give up on her. When she was young, the majestic appearance of a true knight had already been engraved in her heart.

"When I was very young, I was sold to a great nobleman together with my younger brother"

Jenny suddenly began to mutter to herself, probably because she realized that she was going to die and wanted to confide in someone before she died.

"He likes to keep pets, dogs, cats, mice, and birds, and his favorite pet is a very long and big red emerald worm. Although my brother and I were afraid of him at first, we were at a loss, until after a year For a while, he often gave us physical examinations."

Jenny hugged her arms and began to tremble slightly.

"Sometimes blood is drawn, sometimes hair is cut, and sometimes even flesh is cut. We are feeding the worm live food and he even makes us lie on the side of the glass container where the worm is kept."

"That wriggling monster that yearns"

Hathaway suddenly had a creepy feeling. She looked out of the tree hole intuitively, and vaguely saw a long phantom under the swamp. This phantom squirmed forward and began to appear in the inner world Dark green mixed with blood red color
"Senior Jenny, stop now! Stop talking!"
