Chapter 15: Despicable Human Life Click]

[In a new day, Wali continues to ask for various support and keep the position of the new book list!]

※※

The huge rocks are inside and outside the cold winter world, and the valleys outside the city are also piled with a thick layer of white snow. Under the fog, the bare trees appear and the morning sun cannot shine through here.

At this time, there was a long dragon walking on the mountain road, so continuous that it was almost impossible to see the end. Some were burying their heads and looking at the mountain scenery. Their young faces each had their own expressions. They were the accurate warriors who participated in the Juyan Martial Arts Academy's admissions assessment, and they were following the team's main assessment officer Gai Kui to the assessment place.

"Hello, my name is Xin Lie." Xin Lie was also walking in the crowd. When he saw that the boy named Cheng Lei was not far away yesterday, he squeezed over and talked to him: "We have seen him yesterday."

Cheng Lei naturally remembered this unique peer. He was very surprised and said repeatedly: "Hello, hello, my name is Cheng Lei." Xin Lie looked around and said his plan: "The assessment process is so dangerous. I think we can support each other." Cheng Lei nodded happily: "I think so too!" His heart immediately calmed down a lot. It really made people feel a sense of confidence and fearlessness with this tall boy.

Xin Lie searched around and wanted to pull a few more people into the group, but he couldn't find a trustworthy guy. The people who performed upright when signing up could either not see them or were far away, such as Fang Ling'er's figure. Before, everyone's luggage and other items were stored in the martial arts academy, so she didn't have to carry the slap.

While the two continued to move forward with everyone, they whispered and talked about their respective situations.

Cheng Lei is also 18 years old this year, three months younger than Xin Lie. He came from Jiahe Town. His family is a local farmer and has to be managed by the inspector general Qingyou and the poor fu. The family of five is not worried about food, rice, oil and salt. He studied elementary school and practiced boxing and feet to prepare for the assessment of warriors. But he was calm and his strength was just... Recently, the inspector general was replaced, and Jiahe was taken over by a young warrior. Life was not so easy. His family was almost cut to no grain left, so now the whole family has even better expectations for him.

Xin Lie also introduced himself, and did not disclose the killing of Cha Jun and the other five. He only talked about the same changes as the inspector general. He felt that this world seemed to be increasingly despising the civilians...

After a while, everyone had already stepped into the depths of the valley. The fog not only did not dissipate, but became even thicker. There seemed to be a steep and dangerous cliff in the mountain gorge ahead. I heard Gai Kui shouting: "Stop!"

There was a wide platform to settle down by the cliff. Everyone walked slowly in. A group of more than a dozen assessment officers stood by the cliff. When Gai Kui, who was in charge, raised the broad sword in his hand and pointed it forward, his face as serious as ever, said: "Did you see it? You have to cross this bridge and walk to the opposite cliff."

The people in front of him were blocked and couldn't see clearly. They opened their eyes wide and looked at them. They got used to the fog and could see clearly. They were immediately shocked.

I saw a long iron chain bridge built between the snow valleys of the mountain gorges, with wooden boards spreading across it as a bridge deck, but the decaying wooden boards looked like they would rot when stepped on, especially there were many broken and broken places; and the wind and snow in the mountain gorges were very strong, and when the strong mountain wind blew, the iron chain bridge would stagger. If people stood on the bridge, they would definitely not be able to stand firm...

A group of huge black-brown eagles hovered over the suspension bridge, making sharp screams from time to time, which made people shudder. Looking down at the bridge, there was a deep abyss. Through the fog, you could vaguely see the mountain walls covered with broken limbs and bones, not to mention the valley bottom, I don’t know how many unfulfilled anonymous men buried.

Hahaha—

"Do you know the name here?" Gaikui grabbed the chain of the suspension bridge with one hand and shook it a few times. His face did not change, but the entire bridge immediately swayed left and right. A creepy rattle sound rang throughout the valley, and several rotten wooden boards fell down, causing no resounding.

The pair of eagle-like eyes swept the sluggish people, and he said, "This is called Duanming Valley, and this bridge is called Chuangming Bridge, which means that many people have died here, people like you."

Although the audience was quiet, everyone's hearts were already in an uproar. Even though they had certain determination, their fear still couldn't stop growing and spreading, swallowing up the trace of luck. Cheng Lei also gasped and his heart was leaping wildly, crossing this bridge! No wonder, casualties were so high...

Who dares to say that he has no chance of death?

Gai Kui looked unchanged and retracted his sword and stood towards the ground. With a click, the sword body that was not suitable for sheath suddenly sank a few inches into the snow. "You can withdraw from this assessment at any time. Those who don't want to cross the bridge, turn around and go back! Give you a quarter of an hour to consider it."

No need to consider! Xin Lie didn't know whether Captain Baru and Luhu had faced this level and had any choice to move forward, but he knew that he must step onto the bridge and walk to the opposite cliff! He looked at Cheng Lei next to him, and although the latter could not hide his worries, he nodded silently.

Everyone looked at each other, and a quarter of an hour seemed to be like a second and a sudden flash, and it quickly disappeared, and it seemed like a day and a month, which was really a torment! But in the end, few people said they wanted to withdraw. Maybe this bridge was actually easy to live? Now it was just testing their nature?

"Time is up." Gai Kui was not interested in caring about their thoughts. He walked towards the crowd, grabbed a boy with his hands and pushed him to the front bridge; other assessment officers also went to help, and several times, there were more than a dozen people.

"You guys, go over!"

The dozen people were in a dilemma and were struggling for a while. Under Gai Kui's stern urging, a young man in green in his middle body finally stepped onto the suspension bridge first, and then the others also plucked up the courage to follow him.

Xin Lie and Cheng Lei, among the crowd on the cliff, looked around, and everyone's nervous eyes were gathered on the iron chain bridge. Except for the bridge swaying slightly, everything was fine. The pedestrian quickly walked to the middle of the bridge without any danger. It seemed that after a while, he could successfully reach the opposite cliff.

Whether on or beside the bridge, everyone was very happy. It seemed like a test of courage! The young man in green who was walking in front could already see the statue of a warrior over there. He couldn't suppress his excitement. Warrior! He flashed in front of him again to return home in glory and marry the beautiful longing for that beloved girl. Lilan, waiting for me...

However, at this moment, a few clicks, a few clicks! Before he could react, his feet were empty...

"Ah————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Help! Help--" Only a pretty girl reacted quickly and grabbed the bridge cable tightly, hanging in the air. She kept shouting for help, her face full of tears of fear.

At this time, the group of giant black eagles that had been hovering for a long time flew out, and actually spread their wings and rushed towards her, opened their sharp mouths, and bit her arm violently! Then there was a painful scream, and the slender arm was torn apart by the bones, and the girl fell down, "Ahhh--"

The big black eagle held the arm in his mouth, flapped its wings a few times, flew to the gap in the mountain wall, rested, and ate...

Now, everyone understood why so many broken limbs ran to the mountain walls, with young faces as dull as wooden chickens, and the wind and snow were so cold that their breathing was about to stop.

None of the first sixteen people to go on the bridge could pass by safely and all of them were buried in this valley! This is not a test of courage or tenacity, but a real danger...

Xin Lie's fists had already been clenched, and the heart in his chest and abdomen was trembling involuntarily, not because of fear, but just a stream of unspeakable sorrow. Can human life really be so humble? Most of them worked hard all the way, with hope and dreams... But they just died like this, as if they had never come.

"Wuwu..." Some girls around finally couldn't help crying, and could no longer have the fighting spirit of walking on the suspension bridge. Their feet retreated: "I won't leave.", "Wuwuwu, I'll withdraw.", "I want to go home..."

Not to mention the daughter's house, aren't other men timid? Countless people swallowed their saliva and had to think about themselves again. Several of those men with banditry spirit retreated, and were beaten and scolded by their companions who were unwilling to give up. However, the black-haired girl Fang Ling'er, although she pursed her cherry lips tightly, was trembling all over because of fear and confusion, but she did not retreat.

Seeing the dozen people killed their lives and watching the noisy people, Gai Kui didn't blink for a moment, and his words were slow and powerful: "Last year, 11,036 people signed up, 6,102 people went up the bridge, 3,712 people were killed and injured; 20 new warriors."

It turned out that there were only more than 6,000 people who actually participated in the assessment last year, and the number of casualties was more than one-two!

The merchants who know how to calculate quickly and accurately calculated it was 60%!

"You should know that the wind and snow have arrived this year." Gai Kui said slowly. Before he finished speaking, the strong wind blew over there, and the suspension bridge immediately shook even more severely. He said again: "Those Black Belly Eagles are violent and bloodthirsty, and they hate cold the most. They are more cruel in the snow season than usual."

No matter how stupid people are, they understand what he implies. This year is several times more dangerous than last year! The casualty rate is probably higher than 60%, maybe 80%, 90%...

"Those who exit, get out; those who go up the bridge, walk; those who delay, die."

As Gai Kui pulled out the Dakuan sword, no one dared to act rashly, and the people in the front did not dare to drag it down. For a moment, a large number of people withdrew, and the team heading towards the suspension bridge continued to continue. Thrilling screams kept ringing among the mountain gorges, and young bodies turned into broken and vague corpses. Fewer people were on the bridge, and more and more people were quitting.

Even if you can't get the money back, even if you go back to your hometown to farm and pick up cow shit, it doesn't matter. Life is the most important thing!

After half a day, the platform where the landing was no longer crowded. Thousands of people had turned back, thousands of people had already entered the bridge, either sent their lives or succeeded. Looking through the wind, snow and fog, there seemed to be people on the opposite cliff, but there seemed to be no one; at this time, there were only about two thousand people left here.

"Xin Lie, let's go?" Cheng Lei's face looked ugly. The screams scratched his heart, and he was about to get rid of it. He said with a bitter face: "Anyway, we have decided to go to the bridge, be happy too early, die early and be reborn!"

Xin Lie grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "Don't be anxious, wait..." It is not wise to go up the bridge too early, because no one knows where the wooden boards will be empty and if they step on one foot, they will break. It will easily fall suddenly; but it is not wise to be too late, because the bridge board will obviously get worse and worse. When the gap and damage on the bridge body are one point more, it means that the difficulty will increase by one point.

After a while, he felt that the time was almost over, and when he saw Fang Ling'er walking towards the suspension bridge, he shouted "Go!" and ran away quickly.

Cheng Lei took a deep breath, held his breath and followed him.
