CHAPTER 634: CHAPTER 266: ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVE, HELL LEVEL DIFFICULTY

"No matter what the test is, the ultimate goal is for us to hunt the Cold Beasts in the cages. If all one hundred of us rush in like headless chickens, we will surely fail. Therefore, I propose we elect one leader to direct and coordinate everyone else. This will significantly increase our success rate."

The crowd immediately showed expressions of agreement upon hearing Xiao Hen’s words.

Liu Peng clearly understood Xiao Hen’s intentions, a faint smile appeared on his face as he nodded, "Xiao Hen is right. The final test is about unity and cooperation. Although the Logging Realm does not inherently have hunting abilities, as long as a hundred fully armed individuals unite with a clear-headed leader, killing a Cold Beast that has had most of its power depleted won’t be difficult."

Courage, morale, unity, and cooperation!

After listening to Liu Peng’s explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

"Then, who should be the leader?"

An older person suddenly spoke up.

The majority of the people in the team immediately turned their gaze towards Liu Peng.

Xiao Hen, along with three or four other strong individuals, had flickering eyes, evidently also interested in the position of leader.

"I propose Liu Peng!"

"I also support Liu Peng."

"Liu Peng."

"Liu Peng!"

"Liu Peng!"

"I support Liu Peng too."

......

The six people standing beside Liu Peng spoke in turn, and the team instantly resounded with voices in succession, including the nine who had just been mocked by Liu Peng, nearly ninety percent, without exception, shouted Liu Peng’s name.

Xiao Hen saw the six standing beside Liu Peng and sighed slightly in his heart.

From the moment he saw the seven people’s positions, he had already guessed.

It was no surprise that Liu Peng must have approached these six last night during the grouping, quickly got acquainted, and reached some agreement in advance, otherwise, these six would not be so obedient to him.

After the grouping last night, he also guessed that it would rely on unity and cooperation but never dared to confirm it in his heart until he just saw the ten cages, only then linking it to the final certainty of the Cold Beasts.

Clearly, Liu Peng not only guessed earlier than him but also took action.

One step slow, step by step slow!

Since Liu Peng had already seized control of the team, Xiao Hen no longer hesitated and followed the crowd, saying, "I also support Liu Peng!"

Upon hearing Xiao Hen’s words, Liu Peng smiled, then expressed his thanks with a hand gesture and turned his gaze towards the other Peak of Wood Cutting Realm members in the team, his expression certain and even aggressive.

The remaining few, under his gaze, could ultimately only speak slowly:

"Liu Peng!"

"Liu Peng."

..........

The position of leader, secured!

Liu Peng appeared invigorated and immediately waved his hand, speaking in a deep voice:

"Alright, I’ll start deploying right now, I’ll keep it short..."

The subsequent deployment, concerning whether they could advance, made everyone listen attentively, not daring to miss any detail.

However, as they listened, smiles gradually appeared on their faces. By the time Liu Peng finished outlining his plan, all the people looked at him with more than a little admiration.

Even Xiao Hen was no exception.

"I remember his elder brother, Liu Yuan, is the deputy captain of the Cloud Jiao Team, so his brother must have taught him all this!"

In terms of ability, insight, and even knowledge about the Cold Beasts, Liu Peng seemed superior in every way;

The only thing he could possibly compete with Liu Peng on was cultivation.

The problem was, Liu Peng was more than two years younger than him.

Calculating like this, he couldn’t even compare in terms of cultivation!

Xiao Hen clenched his fists, feeling an inexplicable sense of urgency rising in his heart.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the first round of 10 groups completed their assessment.

"First round, all ten groups eliminated, next group up!"

Qiu Peng’s voice came from above the city gate, carrying a hint of disappointment. The faces of Liu Peng and others, who had just finished discussing, immediately turned serious.

"Quickly go inside and save people; the Cold Beasts have already been driven to the side."

"Carry everyone out."

"Group 1: 29 severely injured, 52 lightly injured, leaving 19 unharmed."

"Group 2: 16 severely injured, 79 lightly injured, leaving 5 unharmed."

......

"Group 11: 29 severely injured, 71 lightly injured, everyone out."

Just then, the wounded in the ten cages were carried out by the Earth-digging Realm members of the Camp Supply Department, and as they reported the battle damages of each group, those left in the square about to enter started swallowing hard.

This battle damage report seemed quite terrifying...

"Groups 12 to 21, drawing lots finished, prepare to enter the cages!"

Qiu Peng’s voice echoed again from above the city gate, and below, another ten formations began to move. They walked to the doors of the ten cages, preparing to enter.

Having just missed the first round, this time, Liu Peng, Xiao Hen, and everyone from Group 52 kept their eyes on the cage, trying to understand how they were getting eliminated.

However, after watching for a while, they were all stunned.

"Group 14 eliminated!"

"Group 18 eliminated."

"Group 21 eliminated."

......

"Group 12 eliminated."

The time limit for Qiu Peng’s assessment was one hour.

Yet, in reality, from when all ten groups entered the cages to when they were all eliminated, it hadn’t even been thirty minutes.

"The Cold Beasts’ power is terrifying."

"Group 12 drew cage number 1; both of the Snow Mane’s eyes had already been shot blind by the previous group, and it still hasn’t been worn down?"

"Group 14 was really unlucky, drawing cage number 7’s White Bear. They hadn’t even formed their chain formation when the White Bear slammed into them, sending half of them flying and severely injuring at least 20, leaving the rest defenseless."

.........

Hearing the discussions around him, Liu Peng’s face turned much more somber.

"Courage, morale, unity, and cooperation resolve these three, but that’s just the first step in the selection. Luck and skill, neither can be absent. This preliminary selection is practically Hell Level difficulty!"

Beside him, Xiao Hen’s expression was also extremely heavy. After a slight sigh, he couldn’t help but look up at the Cold Resistance Level crowd above the city gates, questioning in his heart:

"Can anyone really advance?"
