Chapter 926: Countdown Hint

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The reason why the professor wanted to do this was because he had observed the way the other three had spoken and acted in the past few days. Their morale was much higher than before they participated in the Demon Month.

This time, he wanted to kill these people’s spirits. He wanted them to know that there was always someone better. There were mountains beyond mountains. Passing through a demon month was nothing.

If they were really capable, they should get a good ranking in the international competition.

The professors had already prepared many “surprises” and were lying in ambush around them, waiting for all four candidates to arrive.

The car gradually slowed down, and the sound of the engine slowly dissipated. Shan Yue opened her eyes, and a desolate scene greeted her eyes.

“President Shan, are you sure this is the place on the map?” The chauffeur’s eyes were filled with confusion. “There’s nothing but yellow soil and weeds here. There’s not even a shadow. How can it be the so-called gathering place?”

Although that was what he said, Shan Yue was sure that it was this place.

“I’m sure it’s here. Don’t worry, you can just go back.” With that, Shan Yue got out of the car and gestured for the chauffeur to leave.

After the chauffeur left, Shan Yue looked around. The first test location chosen by the professors was indeed beyond her expectations, but it was still within her tolerance.

The final representatives of the Federation’s selection were talents who were capable of both literature and martial arts. Not only did they have to have meticulous thinking when facing a crisis situation, but they also had to have the ability and physical fitness to deal with it.

Since the coaching team could make arrangements in advance, to monitor and select the contestants as soon as they signed,

then there were naturally enough methods to enrich the topic of this selection. Therefore, the wasteland in front of her was definitely not as simple as it looked.

It seemed that the professors wanted to use the first test as an opening gambit. They wanted to make some people who were not strong enough retreat from the beginning.

A smile appeared on her lips. Shan Yue naturally would not give up easily. She looked around. She was surrounded by endless weeds. The weeds grew very high and could even reach above her head. This meant that there were more unknown fears and dangers. An enemy could appear at any time in the grass and an unpredictable crisis.

Just as Shan Yue cautiously retreated to the center of the empty space, an extremely small black device suddenly emerged from the pile of soil. Shan Yue thought that it was a bomb-type item and almost instantly retreated dozens of meters away.

However, the black device only fired a green laser in one direction and stayed there motionless.

“That’s it?” Shan Yue pondered for a second before her ears suddenly caught the sound of the stopwatch counting down.

The movement came from the black device. The ticking sound seemed a little strange in the wind around it, as if it was foretelling the passage of time. Could it be that a time bomb was buried in the soil and was about to explode?

Shan Yue quickly rejected this idea. She was trying to figure out the intentions of the examiners. Logically speaking, no one would want to take the examinee’s life at the beginning of the test. Therefore, this sound should have other hints.

Time, time, what exactly was the time that was very tight?

Shan Yue looked at the green laser pointing into the depths of the weeds again and suddenly had an idea.

Since she was already here and had triggered the mechanism, it meant that she had not come to the wrong place. This laser was used to indicate her next move. The countdown meant that she did not have much time left.

There were shadows in the weeds as tall as a person. It was impossible to see what was inside at a glance. The unknown was always the most terrifying.

However, Shan Yue did not feel timid at all. She had always been very confident in her intuition. After packing up briefly, she quickly headed in the direction indicated by the laser.

During the raid, Shan Yue kept observing her surroundings to prevent any unexpected situations. However, along the way, other than some obstacles that blocked her movements from time to time, no other devices appeared..
