【Law of the Abyss】

There are many natural trial grounds in Critical Area, which can be roughly divided into two types: one is public and the other is private.

The public trial field has official endorsement. The advantage is that the risk factor is low and it is suitable for people with little experience. The disadvantage is that the rewards are not great.

The other one is non-public, has a high risk factor and many unknown situations, and is suitable for experienced people. As for the harvest, it depends on luck.

As a person without any foundation, Mu Bei of course chose the first option. The critical public trial field was basically controlled by the three major families of Linji: Feng, Huo, and Lei.

Mu Bei was arranged by Lin Feng to go to the Feng family trial field. Before coming, Lin Feng threw something like a token to him.

There were not many people in the trial field. Mu Bei was waiting in line to enter. Unexpectedly, someone cut in line not long after he started.

The people who cut in line were three young people, two men and one woman, who were about the same age as him.

The girl’s name is Feng Yelan. She is the daughter of the head of the Feng family and a true eldest lady.

There are two boys, one is Feng Yixing, who is Feng Yelan’s cousin, and the other is Qin Changqing, who comes from another world.

Feng Yelan was a little bored. If her father hadn't repeatedly told her to train Qin Changqing well, she would not have bothered to come.

After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Feng family. She feels ashamed to come to a trial field that only elementary school students come to.

I didn't expect that I would have to queue up? I didn't expect that someone would be so blind as to accuse her of cutting in line? Come on, this is her home, and she has to queue up to enter her own home?

Feng Yixing noticed her displeasure and immediately stood up.

"Who are you, kid? How dare you act wildly on Feng Family's territory? You are so bold!"

"Everyone is queuing up, first come first served, why are you cutting in line?"

"You talk too much nonsense. I just want to ask you one question, will you let me go?"

Mu Bei is not someone who doesn't know how to adapt. If the other party has a good attitude and he explains the situation carefully, perhaps he will agree.

But the other party acted as if it was all right and was arrogant and unreasonable, and he just wouldn't tolerate it. No matter who the Feng or Yu family was, the other party was cutting in line and was in the wrong.

He turned his head and ignored them, standing there steadily, motionless.

Seeing him like this, Feng Yixing felt embarrassed and wanted to take action, but was stopped by Feng Yelan with a look.

She walked forward and said with a smile: "My name is Feng Yelan."

Feng Yelan did not miss the flash of surprise in the eyes of the man in front of him. As expected, all men are the same.

Mu Bei glanced at her. The girl in front of him was very beautiful, but unfortunately, no matter how beautiful she was, what did she have to do with him?

"Oh." He said lightly.

Soon the amazement in the young man's eyes was like a stone thrown into the lake.

The ripples dissipated and the lake returned to calm. He stood there quietly, neither humble nor arrogant, and did not look at her.

It was the first time that Feng Yelan met someone who was indifferent to her beauty, and she felt very suffocated.

"I want to line up ahead of you."

"Ten dollars."

"what?"

Feng Yelan was surprised. This person is really...

Mu Bei said calmly, "You have to pay for what you get. It's a good deal to get the position you want for ten dollars, isn't it?"

Feng Yixing laughed angrily. If he had known that he could just use money to get rid of it, why would he have done that just now...

Linji also has a currency trading system, which is not much different from Mubei's original world. It allows bartering and currency settlement.

Feng Yixing took out a hundred yuan and threw it to Mu Bei, but Mu Bei didn't take it and said coldly, "No change."

"No need to look for it, the rest is all yours."

Mu Bei then took the money, put it in his pocket, took a step back, and Feng Yelan stood in front of him. He felt something strange in his heart.

Just as Feng Yixing was about to stand up, he was stopped by Mu Bei. He was angry, "What do you mean? Didn't you pay?"

"You misunderstood. I only agree to let the lady pay to line up in front of me. You can't do that, and neither can he."

Mu Bei pointed at Feng Yixing and Qin Changqing.

Qin Changqing: "I'll queue up."

Feng Yixing's face turned pale, "Okay, you're kidding me!"

Feng Yelan burst out laughing. This guy was too funny.

"Cousin, just get in line, it will be quick!

"Heartless guy."

Feng Yixing said this, but he was very happy in his heart, because Feng Yelan smiled at him. She must like me. This was purely his excessive imagination.

When Mu Bei took out the token given by Lin Feng and handed it to the staff of the trial field, Feng Yihang seemed to be thinking about something and couldn't help but guess the other party's origins in his heart.

If he was not dazzled, the person just now was holding the token of the Lord? What was the relationship between him and the Lord?

It is rumored that Lin Zhu came from the Feng family, one of the three major families. Later, he left the Feng family and went to the Linfeng realm, where he got a great opportunity and greatly increased his strength.

He single-handedly persuaded the three major families to unite and form the Critical Council, and he was promoted to be the Lord.

In recent years, the critical environment has deteriorated, and more and more strange beasts have appeared, which has caused great trouble for the members of the council.

However, Lin Zhu ignored it and went out to look for the destined young man in the outside world. He found seven or eight people, but none of them survived to the end.

But instead of stopping, he continued looking, which caused great dissatisfaction among the members of the board of directors. The divisions within the board of directors intensified and there was a tendency for the board of directors to collapse.

These were all gossips that Feng and his group had heard over and over again, and he had no idea how much truth there was in them.

Could this man be the young man of destiny that the Lord had just found? But he looked too ordinary.

Mu Bei was stunned as soon as he stepped in. This trial field was different from what he had imagined. There were many rooms inside.

It's so crowded that it looks like an escape room, but it's different. Each room is marked with a different number.

"Alone?" an old man in a white gown asked him.

Mu Bei nodded, and the old man looked him up and down. "The one-person room is gone, only the four-person room is left. Do you want it?"

"Hurry up, don't dawdle, it's almost time to start."

Huh? Before Mu Bei could say anything, someone pushed him hard on the back and he was pushed into the four-person room.

As luck would have it, the three people inside were the same three people who had cut in line at the door just now.

Feng Yixing looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you here again? Are you following us?"

"Who followed you? I was pushed in here."

"Okay, stop talking so much. Now that we're formed a team, let's get to know each other. I'm Feng Yixing, the deputy captain." Feng Yixing said.

"Feng Yelan, captain." Feng Yelan shook his ponytail with a serious expression.

"Qin Changqing." Qin Changqing was wearing glasses and spoke in a low voice.

"Mubei." Mubei thought for a moment and said, "What is the trial mission? What am I responsible for?"

Feng Yixing and Feng Yelan looked at each other without saying anything. The atmosphere was too quiet, so Qin Changqing on the side spoke.

"Capture the Night-Listening Beasts within one hour. The more the better."

"What is the night-listening beast?" Mu Bei asked without understanding.

"A low-level exotic beast, timid by nature, with excellent hearing, very good at hiding, and extremely difficult to capture."

Well, it doesn't sound dangerous. Mu Bei couldn't help but reveal his true feelings, which caused everyone to look at him in different ways.

Feng Yixing said with disdain: "Coward."

Feng Yelan frowned slightly. She thought this person was interesting just now.

Mu Bei thought to himself: So what if I'm timid? Who isn't timid? Besides, he didn't think that assessing risks was timid.

Qin Changqing's expression remained unchanged. "The Night Listening Beast is not dangerous. The dangerous one is its symbiotic beast, the Seven-Colored Glazed Python."

Mu Bei wanted to ask more questions when the room suddenly went dark and its appearance changed drastically in an instant.

There were dense jungles everywhere around them, and tall trees blocked out the sun. The few people walked for a long time, but they couldn't see any night-hearing beasts, not even the shadow of an ant.

"Strange? Why is there no movement here?" Feng Yixing wondered.

"Rest here. If we continue like this, we won't be able to find them in a day, let alone an hour. We might as well split up and act accordingly."

As soon as Feng Yelan finished speaking, Feng Yixing became anxious.

"Captain, we can't split up. We are already few in number, and if we split up, we might not be able to resist if we run into a night-listening beast."

Feng Yelan's face sank slightly.

"You're right. In that case, let's work in pairs. Whoever finds it will send a signal and everyone will come over to help."

Although Feng Yixing was still unwilling, Feng Yelan insisted on separating, so he couldn't say much.

"Then let's work in pairs, we..."

Before he could finish his words, Feng Yelan interrupted him again: "We will each take one person with us. Who will you take?"

Feng Yixing didn't say anything. If possible, he only wanted to be with Feng Yelan.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Feng Yelan turned to look at Mu Bei and Qin Changqing, and finally his eyes fell on Qin Changqing, "We are in the same group."

Feng Yelan took Qin Changqing to another direction, leaving Mu Bei and Feng and his party behind.

"I'll try not to drag you down." Mu Bei stated.

Feng Yixing rolled his eyes at him and said, "You think too much. I won't give you the opportunity to drag me down."

The two continued to walk forward. Halfway through, Mu Bei suddenly stopped. Feng Yixing paused and turned around, "Why don't you move on?"

Oh my God, his luck was so good. Mu Bei seemed to have seen the night-listening beast.

It was pitch black, lying on the tree, like a cat but not a cat, with long ears hanging down like the aerial roots of a banyan tree, swaying slightly in the air.

Mu Bei pointed at the tree and motioned Feng and his group to look up.

Feng Yixing looked in the direction he pointed, and wow, it turned out to be a night-listening beast. Why didn’t he see it when he was fighting it just now? This guy is quite lucky.

When Mu Bei saw his reaction, he knew that he had found the right one, and he couldn't help feeling a little happy. This task wasn't difficult at all!

Unfortunately, the next second, the Night Listening Beast disappeared. There was no sound at all, it just disappeared!

Feng and his companions came over and saw that the tree was empty. "No way, you must have been dazzled."

"I'm not dazzled. Didn't you see it just now? It was lying there in the dark, with a pair of long ears hanging in the air."

Feng Yixing still had some doubts at first, but after hearing what Mu Bei said, he immediately no longer had any doubts.

"You're seeing things wrong. Even though the Night-Hearing Beast is black, its ears aren't long. What you saw is definitely not it. It looks more like..."

"What does it look like?" Mu Bei asked curiously.

Feng Yixing's face changed, "Not good, run."

Mu Bei was dragged by him and ran all the way, panting, "Let go... I can run by myself."

"Hahaha, you can't run away!"

A sharp laugh came from above, and Mu Bei looked up and saw a strange bird with a cat's face in the sky.

Its body is covered with black feathers, and its wingspan is ten feet long. Could the cat we just saw be this strange bird?

Before Mu Bei had time to think, the strange bird swooped down and headed straight for him. Its sharp claws were about to grab him, so he ran away.

Fortunately, he ran fast, and the bird realized that it couldn't catch him for a while, so it fluttered its wings and dropped two long things from above, just like the 'cat ears' he had just seen.

The 'cat ears' grew longer and longer, like two elastic ropes, and hit Mu Bei's back with a snap, causing him to pause.

It felt like something was stuck to his back and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard he tried. The thing pierced through his clothes and was about to drill into his skin.

"Hurry, get out!" Feng Yihang shouted.

Upon hearing this, Mu Bei immediately squatted down with his head in his hands, lay on the ground and rolled on the spot.

The two creatures seemed to sense something and suddenly let go of him and shrank back. Seeing this, Mu Bei immediately stood up and tried his best to get into the bushes.

The strange bird laughed "jiejiejie" strangely and chased after it.

Mu Bei's face and hands were covered with scratches from tree branches. He couldn't care less and just dodged while shouting.

"Feng Yixing, help! Brother Feng, if you have the ability, don't hide it, use it quickly, I can't do anything!"

He almost yelled these words out, no, he couldn't run anymore.

Mu Bei's limbs began to lose control and he was tripped by a vine and fell to the ground.

He watched in horror as the strange bird's cat face enlarged in front of him, revealing its sharp teeth, ready to bite him in the next second.

He raised his hand to block it. Ah! He had never been bitten by a cat before. He hoped that cat bites would not hurt!

The expected pain did not come. Instead, he heard the sound of the blade piercing into flesh, accompanied by the shrill screams of a strange bird.

He felt a damp heat and a pungent fishy smell on his face. He reached out and touched it, and it was blood!
