Chapter 1031: Chapter 486: What Kind of Divine Grace Is This? Isn’t It Too Powerful?

The floor in the small alley was wet from the accumulated rainwater, making it slippery and prone to cause accidental slips.

More than a dozen candidates followed Lin Baici and Zhang Hao, standing at a fork in the road, looking at the Apricot Yellow Flag planted on the wall with anxious expressions.

Zhang Hao lifted her left hand, glanced at her wristwatch, "Three hours have passed since we entered the first town, I think we can head out now!"

In the most recent quarter hour, the compass showed no magnetic response, and she and Lin Baici hadn’t discovered any new candidates, which suggested that most of them should be rescued by now.

"Alright, let’s go!"

The other examiners were also very capable; Lin Baici was not so arrogant as to think she was the only one who could help these candidates survive.

"From now on, walk backwards, without my permission, no turning around, and if you fall down, you absolutely must not take a step forward after standing up, or else you will fail halfway!"

Zhang Hao instructed.

The candidates had been eager to leave and nodded hurriedly at her words.

Everything went smoothly.

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Baici and her group exited the first town and arrived at a small square.

"Why haven’t we left God’s ruins? It’s not going to continue, is it?"

A young man in a jacket sighed.

Zhang Hao and Lin Baici exchanged glances; there was nobody on the small square.

"It seems everyone has already gone to the second town!"

Zhang Hao surveyed the three city gates ahead, "Which one shall we take?"

[The left is the most dangerous, and after passing through, you will encounter monsters in a short time; the middle has medium difficulty, and the right is the easiest!]

Eater God commented.

"What do you think?"

Lin Baici counter-asked, curious about Zhang Hao’s luck. Moreover, if she chose the right side, he could easily agree with her, owing her a favor, so that it would be awkward for her to oppose him when he made decisions later on.

"The left!"

Zhang Hao chuckled, "My luck has always been great!"

Damn!

It was the answer Lin Baici least wanted to hear. He was pondering how to convince Zhang Hao to choose another gate when she spoke up.

"Alright, just say which one you prefer, I will follow your lead!"

"Hm?"

Lin Baici raised his eyebrows.

"You geniuses always have the right ideas; you must be considering how to convince me to follow your plan, right?"

Zhang Hao threw a flirty glance, "Don’t bother with that, this time, I will listen to everything you say!"

"..."

Lin Baici’s expression remained calm, but he wondered. Zhang Hao being so agreeable, did she have some ulterior motive?

"Don’t overthink it. I purely want to see your abilities!" Zhang Hao signaled everyone to set off, "Besides, for me, any gate is the same!"

Zhang Hao’s tone was filled with confidence.

"Thanks, Sister Zhang!"

Lin Baici was not polite, "Let’s take the right!"

"Hurry up!"

Zhang Hao urged everyone.

As one of the Three Heroes of Beijing, a celebrity in the safety bureau, and Below Dragon Level, she would not have been so polite to him if she did not value Lin Baici.

The attempt to headhunt him was probably going to fail, but establishing a good relationship now could lead to future collaborations.

"I think the middle one is the safest!"

The man in the jacket suggested, wanting to decide his own fate, but Lin Baici and Zhang Hao flat out ignored him.

In God’s ruins, one had as much say as their power permitted.

Lin Baici and Zhang Hao entered the city gate one after the other.

Immediately, the surroundings darkened, and it was pitch black, not able to see anything, and after approximately fifty or sixty meters, fine rain began to sprinkle on their faces.

There was also the smell of rot and a chilly wind blowing through.

The feeling beneath their feet changed from a concrete floor to mud.

Lin Baici looked down to check.

Sure enough, the Climbing Boots were stepping on soft black soil, with sparse trees and weeds around, and because of the rain, the ground was muddy, coating their shoes with mud after just a few steps.

"No need to panic, this place is called Crow Ridge, shrouded in mist all year round, just find a Dragon Inn, and you can leave!"

Zhang Hao enlightened them.

Because of the black mist, almost no light penetrated, reducing visibility to about ten meters, giving Crow Ridge the appearance of a winter morning before dawn.

"Be alert for the Dead Flesh Men!"

Zhang Hao warned.

This statement caused the candidates’ nerves to tense up instinctively.

"How do we find that inn? Any clues?"

Lin Baici looked around; it was a desolate wilderness that would surely haunt a horror movie with evil ghosts.

"No!"

Zhang Hao explained, "This test is about combat. In the process of finding the Dragon Inn, you’re bound to encounter the Dead Flesh Men. The strong ones will get through by fighting, the weaker ones will run, expending more energy."

"When the sun comes up and the morning mist clears, you’ll be able to see the inn!"

"However, I think the pollution has increased, and I doubt the mist will clear!"

If the visibility remained like this, finding the inn would be purely a matter of luck.

Without guidance from Eater God, Lin Baici chose to head up the mountain.

"The two examiners, I think we should find a place to rest and wait for others to clear the rule pollution, and then take advantage of their work!"

The man in the jacket proposed, as it seemed there would be more trouble ahead, and he wanted to conserve energy: "At the very least, those who search for the inn will surely kill some Dead Flesh Men, so if we act two hours later, we will encounter fewer monsters!"

"You can stay behind!"

Zhang Hao didn’t even bother turning her head, "No obligation!"

The man in the jacket was displeased, feeling these two examiners were foolish, and as he pondered which arguments might convince them, the ground suddenly seemed to explode, splattering mud around.
