The night passed quickly, and a new day had arrived.

As the morning sun peeks through the mottled leaves at the top of the city, the second challenge of the promotion ceremony is ready.

The challenge took place in a place called the Flying Snake Swamp in the southern part of the city of Yukesen.

This is a barren glade full of poisonous snakes and insects, and in the middle of the land grows a tree called the "ghost claw tree", which has no pages and has only countless barbs on its trunk that are densely packed like ghost claws.

These barbs are filled with toxin, and ordinary people who have just a little skin cut by the barbs will quickly festering and die.

However, these barbs have little effect on professionals and mercenaries, and only have a very slight paralyzing effect when stabbed.

The goal of the second challenge of the promotion ceremony is in this swamp full of ghost claw trees.

There is a flying snake with bat wings on its back, this flying snake is not a monster, but a common native beast, and it can only grow up to the length of an adult's middle finger.

The flying snake is poisonous like most other creatures that live in the swamp, but their toxins are also not effective against professionals and mercenaries.

The goal of all participants in the challenge is to hunt as many as they can to kill 100 flying snakes, and only the first 8 people to hunt a sufficient number will be eligible to move on to the next challenge.

It should be noted that although this flying snake cannot pose any threat to the mercenaries, they are very fast and flexible in the air, and can do a variety of difficult flight actions such as hovering in the air and flying backwards.

On top of that, these little creatures all have protective colors on them, and most of them live inside the trunk of the Ghost Claw Tree, relying on the spikes on the Ghost Claw Tree for protection, and it takes a lot of work just to find them out of the trunk.

Therefore, it is not easy to successfully hunt them.

In addition, all participants must also take care to control the intensity of their attacks, because these flying snakes are just ordinary animals, they have no resistance to the mercenaries' skills at all, and if they don't pay attention to a little force when hunting, they can easily break the prey into a whole mess.

The rules of such a prey promotion ceremony will not be recognized.

This challenge is a test of observation, patience and mastery of skills and self-strength.

Of course, if you do have flaws in these areas, then you have another option.

- Snatch!

As with the previous challenge, participants are not forbidden to fight each other in the assessment area, and they can only be teleported out of the assessment area if they have waived themselves.

On top of that, the corpse of the Flying Snake cannot be taken out of the assessment area, and when you announce your abstention, the corpse of the Flying Snake on your body will fall to the place where you teleported.

This provides the possibility for some participants who are not good at careful observation and hunting to wait for their work and snatch the spoils of others, and the rules of the promotion ceremony are also recognized for the loot snatched in this way.

However, looting naturally carries the risk of snatching, and not mentioning that the roles of hunter and prey can be changed at any time, that is, if the robbed are really unwilling to hand over the spoils, they can completely destroy everything before they are defeated, so that the attempted loot will not get anything.

But even if there is a risk of getting nothing, the benefits of snatching the weapons are higher than the catch of a flying snake by one, and the snatcher only needs to have a pair of eyes that are good at distinguishing between good and bad prey, and it is even possible to hit the ground and advance directly.

Xue Hua wasn't worried that the sisters' strength would fall prey, but the mimic chicks sent by Isha to the small town of Shartra last night had already sent back today.

Some of the Discipliners had indeed come to the island late yesterday, and as Xue Hua had expected, as soon as they entered the town near the port, they headed straight for the tavern where he and Kane had stayed after the assassination.

So far, the report sent back by the mimic chick shows that those women have found a lot of things, because Xue Hua didn't expect this at that time, so he didn't hide his whereabouts.

Fortunately, the "White Fin Whale" cargo ship had already re-recruited its crew and set sail that morning, so although they still found some words about Xue Hua's battle against the sea giant, these messages were neither detailed nor first-hand, they had been "artistically rehearsed" by the "storytellers" in the tavern, and the overall sound sounded completely like a myth, with very low credibility.

The most information about Xue Hua found by the detectives in the harbor town was the murderous assassination that took place near the dock, and even though a few days had passed, the huge fireballs and terrorist explosions on the pier of the harbor still made the local townspeople feel uneasy.

Some of the punisher spies also went to the vicinity of the port to see, and the thrilling half-section of the trestle and the smell of gunsmoke that had not completely dissipated made all the punisher spies fall into silence.

Xue Hua's combat power was once again far beyond their imagination, and to survive such an explosion, at least he had to have a legendary-level defense.

The Punishmentr's spies' every move was watched by Xue Hua, who knew that everything that happened in Shartra would soon be reported back to Yuksen.

Xue Hua's current identity and his own powerful power were enough to deter Fina and make her dare not make any of her thoughts about him, but when this woman realized that it was Xue Hua who had slaughtered the messenger of the Storm Goddess who she had high hopes for, it was probably impossible for her to swallow this breath like this.

Therefore, it is very likely that she will make a fuss about Anne and Funia's promotion ceremony, after all, the relationship between the two of them and Xue Hua is basically obvious.

Hurting them made him feel more pain than hurting Xue Hua himself.

And Xue Hua would never let this happen.

If anything goes wrong with his twins during the promotion ceremony, he will absolutely stop at nothing to make that woman taste the devastating bitter fruit!

At the same time, in order to give himself a chance to rescue Annie and Funia, Xue Hua transferred all the monitoring king insects and node king insects in the surrounding area to the area above the Flying Snake Swamp.

If he wasn't even afraid that this would be a bit too much, he wanted to directly let the node king worm use the ability to block communication to completely cover the entire Flying Snake Swamp, so that no signal from the outside world could enter it.

Just when Xue Hua was still wondering if he could let Isha try to see if he could send cockroaches and the like to sneak into the assessment area from underground, the participants who came to participate in the second challenge finally went to the edge of the swamp under the guidance of their respective instructors.

Behind them was a row of proposed makeshift towers and high platforms, on which stood the people who had come to watch the ceremony.

Xue Hua and Kane were placed on a separate viewing platform, not far from the viewing platform where the three queens were, just like last time.

However, in fact, this viewing platform is not of much use, because the Flying Snake Swamp is quite large, and the more than twenty participants scattered into it will soon lose sight of people.

And the second challenge lasts for a total of three days, and after three days, those who have not come out of the swamp are considered to have abstained.

Therefore, except for Xue Hua, who can watch the live broadcast by monitoring Wang Worm, the others are estimated to have a show at the beginning, and then go through the motions at the end......

Just when Xue Hua was secretly slandering the people on the wooden platform next to him, the priests at the edge of the swamp had already finished reciting the prayer, and a huge light curtain like a canopy shrouded the entire Flying Snake Swamp, and the second challenge of the promotion ceremony was about to begin!
