Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jerome, who was investigating the accident at the scene, walked through the passage that a bunch of students had moved out of the way and walked over. Every year there are casualties in the student survival trials. As the organizer of the trials, the Provisional Supervision Committee is not responsible for the casualties of the students.  , but in the event of casualties, an explanation must also be given to the school and the parents of the students - all students who are accidentally killed during the trial must have an accident investigation report issued by seven teachers from the three schools of the temporary inspection committee.  It is an explanation to the school and the students' families. This explanation is very bureaucratic, but it is also necessary. After all, human life is at stake. Teachers and instructors have no responsibility, but the students' families must know how the students died.

    After the news of Zhang Tie¡¯s accident reached Wild Wolf Castle, seven teachers and instructors including Captain Colin and Jerome went to the place where Zhang Tie¡¯s accident occurred to inspect the scene.

    Jerome was the best at judging these clues at the scene. From the place where Zhang Tie dropped the ore basket to the edge of this pitch-black hole, Jerome walked back and forth twice, and even visited the wild animals in person.  He squatted in the grass where the wolf was hiding for a long time, and finally Jerome came back with a strange expression.

    "How are you, Jerome?" Captain Colin's face turned slightly dark. He still remembered Zhang Tie. Among the graduates of this class, Zhang Tie was one of the few people who could leave an impression on him.  Unexpectedly, something happened to this guy this time, which made Captain Colin feel a little uncomfortable. Zhang Tie's death reminded Captain Colin that in the past, familiar comrades and friends often left this world after a battle.  those days.  This put Captain Colin in a bad mood.

    "It's terrible, it's terrible" Jerome's face was serious.

    "Of course it is terrifying to encounter such a thing. Within five kilometers of the Wild Wolf Castle, there has been no incident of groups of wild wolves attacking trial students for more than ten years. During non-trial periods, the castle defenders  We often raid near the castle, and these wolves are scared to death. I wonder why groups of wild wolves appear so close to the castle this time?" A female teacher who came with us looked at the one on the ground.  The two wolf corpses shook their heads slightly, "It's a pity. Judging from the wounds on the two wolf corpses and the oral accounts of the students who witnessed it, this student named Zhang Tie is actually a talented person, brave and decisive.  , wit, one person can kill three wolves, and his strength can be ranked among the top among his peers"

    "I'm not saying this is scary, I'm saying this student named Zhang Tie is scary" Jerome shook his head.

    Jerome¡¯s words attracted the attention of all the teachers.

    "What's so scary about this student?" a teacher said.

    Jerome smiled faintly and did not answer the question. Instead, he turned to Captain Colin, "How does this student named Zhang Tie perform in school? Is this person your student's recommendation student this year?"

    "This person's performance in school is very average. He has not performed very well in the past three years. He is just a bit smarter, smarter, and has a good temper" He frowned slightly, although he was not used to Zhe.  Rohm's way of speaking, Captain Colin replied matter-of-factly, "By the way, this guy is also very good at escaping and getting benefits for himself. As for the school's recommended students, everyone is optimistic about our school's recommended student quota this year.  Gris and a student named Bolvik. This person's performance in school has not met the requirements for recommended students. Jerome, I don't know why you ask such a question, and what you just said?  What does it mean that this student is scary?"

    "Such a person is not a recommended student of your school?" Jerome looked at Captain Colin with some surprise, and then smiled, "You all can't look down on such an outstanding person. I just carefully investigated the situation from  I carefully calculated the distance from that piece of grass to this black hole. Do you know what I discovered?"

    "What?"

    "The moment the student discovered the seven wild wolves emerging from the grass, he decided to jump into the deep hole to save his life?"

    "Is this strange?" A teacher asked with some confusion, "I don't see anything strange here at all. When you are weak, it is human instinct to run away from a wild wolf"

    "Of course it's strange" Jerome said calmly, "It's human instinct to run away when in danger, but knowing how to run away in danger is scary. This black hole is almost two hundred meters away from where he met the wild wolf.  It is the only place within this distance in all the surrounding terrain that gives him a chance to escape from the wolf's mouth. In that case, the escape direction chosen by many people must be towards the Wild Wolf Castle or a place with a lot of people, and this  The guy ran towards this black hole and chose an optimal escape route. This was the scary thing about him. At the moment of escaping, he had already mentally considered the possibility of escaping in every direction.Sex, even the time it took for him to be caught up by this pack of wolves, and the distance he could run during this time were calculated"

    Seeing that some people didn't know what they were talking about, Jerome simply drew a dot on the ground with the branch in his hand, "This point is where Zhang Tie met the wolves" Around this point, Jerome  Jerome drew a circle, "This is the maximum radius of movement he can run before this pack of wolves catch up with him, about two hundred meters" After drawing the circle, Jerome clicked on the edge of the circle again.  After a moment, "This is the black hole, which is where we are now. This position is the only place on this land within this circle where he can escape from the wolf's mouth. Except for this place, at any point within this circle,  That guy must have been torn apart by those wolves at this moment, leaving only a pile of broken corpses. This is why I said that the terrible thing about this student named Zhang Tie was just in an instant, in such a large place,  Before he was caught up by the wolves, there were thousands of possibilities, but he was able to find the only possibility that allowed him to escape, this kind of keen judgment when encountering danger, this kind of  The ability to escape is really terrifying!¡±

    This time, everyone understood. Looking at the two points in the circle drawn by Jerome on the ground, everyone was slightly shocked. Just as Jerome said, starting from that center point  , there are indeed countless possibilities of escaping and eventually being caught up by the wolves, but among the countless possibilities, when a person encounters seven wolves, this is the only one with a little hope.

    "Thiscould it be a coincidence?" A teacher hesitated and said, many teachers may not be able to make such judgment in critical situations, not to mention students.

    "Don't forget, according to those students, this guy was carrying a mining pick when he escaped"

    "What does this mean? Isn't it instinctive to carry a weapon when running away from a wolf?"

    "His weapon is his dagger, not the mining pickaxe. The mining pickaxe is a hindrance when escaping. His only purpose of escaping with the mining pickaxe is to use that mining pickaxe for himself when he jumps into the hole.  In order to gain a chance of survival, the hole dug by this gold-eating python cannot always be completely vertical to the ground. As long as the slope inside the hole decreases, he can use the mining pick to slow down his fall"

    "That means, is it possible that Zhang Tie is still alive?" Captain Colin opened his mouth wide, looked at the black hole, then looked at Jerome, and asked in disbelief.

    "In my impression, it's very difficult for such guys to die. Their vitality is stronger than cockroaches!"

    "I want to go down!" Captain Colin said.

    "When the rope from the castle is delivered, I will go down with you to take a look" Jerome rubbed his chin with one hand, full of curiosity about Zhang Tie, and he could still calmly act in this situation.  It is so rare for students to find a glimmer of hope in despair.

    The ropes from the Wild Wolf Castle were quickly delivered. More than twenty students and teachers on duty carried the ropes. These ropes were standard strong ropes purchased by the Black Flame City military. The ropes were thumb-thick and non-slip.  It is wear-resistant and can be lifted up to two tons without any problem. When these ropes are connected, they are more than 400 meters long.

    "This is the longest rope that Wild Wolf Castle can put together. No one knows how deep the gold-eating python's hole is. If he hasn't been found beyond the distance beyond the rope, there's nothing we can do!  Jerome said looking at Colin.

    Captain Colin nodded, "If that's really the case, we can only blame this guy for his bad life. We just have to do our best. Watching a student fall into a hole makes me uncomfortable if I don't go down and take a look."

    After tying one end of the rope to a boulder about 20 meters tall from the cave entrance, Captain Colin and Jerome tied a safety buckle on the rope, and then each brought a green fluorite.  glow sticks, and then jumped into this dark hole one after another

    ¡°No one dares to be careless in this potentially bottomless gold-eating python¡¯s hole.

    ¡°Seeing two people jumping into the hole one after another, the surrounding students all screamed in surprise

    When they descended more than twenty meters into the cave, all the light in the cave turned into the fluorite glow sticks in the hands of Captain Colin and Jerome. With that high-grade fluorite glow stick, Jerome  He kept staring at the wall of the cave. When the first buffer and curve appeared in the cave, Jerome was shocked and pointed at the fresh mark on the wall. The gold-eating python came out.  In the caves, there are circles of strange spiral patterns on the structure of the cave wall. Among these spiral patterns, a straight trace is very obvious, and its newness is also easy to identify.

    "This is the landing point of the mining pick, which is drawn from the landing point downwards.Did you see any traces? The little guy named Zhang Tie really used the mining pick to escape. This mind is too scary" Confirming his guess, Jerome's eyes were shining, and he said  Zhang Tie's interest increased to another level again.

    Captain Colin was also very excited. He didn't expect that this guy, apart from his bold words, was also really good at escaping.

    The two people were shocked when they saw the scratches. They slid down the rope all the way. Along the way, there were almost no scratches on the cave wall. They were deep and shallow. Those fresh scratches were like road signs.  Likewise, although there were some forks in the cave entrance, the two of them slid down along those scratches towards the place where Zhang Tie fell

    The people at the entrance of the cave couldn't see what was going on inside. They could only watch as the rope outside the cave entrance was swallowed up piece by piece like noodles by the black hole that opened its mouth, 20 meters - 30 meters - 50 meters -  ¡ª80 meters ¡ª 100 meters ¡ª 120 meters ¡ª 150 meters ¡ª 170 meters ¡ª

    The moods of the people above also became heavier as the rope slid down. With such a deep distance, how could the man named Zhang Tie still be alive?

    The rope finally stopped before 190 meters. After stopping for a few minutes, according to the agreed signal, the rope below was pulled hard three times in a row. Then the people above pulled up the rope together and lowered the rope.  The speed is very slow, but it is much faster to pull up, especially for masters like Captain Colin and Jerome. As long as there is a little bit of leverage, it will be effortless for the two of them to pull up

    A few minutes later, when the rope was almost completely pulled back, with a long roar coming from the cave, Captain Colin and Jerome flew out of the hole like two big birds. Captain Colin  Upon landing, everyone's eyes were focused on the figure tied to his back by Captain Colin.

    "Zhang Tie is still alive, he just fainted now"

    Captain Colin shouted excitedly. Among the onlookers, several guys from the Aircraft Brotherhood almost jumped up. Everyone who came to see the excitement cheered. For everyone, this was simply a witness.  It's like a miracle that a guy fell into a black hole of almost two hundred meters and was still alive. His vitality is stronger than that of a cockroach

    With a "pop", Jerome dropped the body of the wild wolf and the mining pick in his hand on the ground. Only then did everyone realize that no matter how many holes they fell in, this guy not only had a life harder than a cockroach, he also seemed to be a human being.  A very powerful guy, he can kill three wolves by himself

    The wolf thrown on the ground was soft and soft, like a child's doll. Jerome rubbed his chin. This Zhang Tie was simply more powerful than he thought. Not only did he think of it when he fell into the hole,  He used a mining pick to save his life. Even the body of the wild wolf he killed was used as a buffer to protect his own body. Without this wolf corpse, at least several of Zhang Tie's bones would have been broken at this moment.  At this moment, except for the injury on his leg and some scratches and bruises on his body, not a single bone in this guy's body was broken, but he was just unconscious. It was a miracle. Such students are so rare

    While everyone was cheering, there were two people on the edge of the crowd. When they heard that Zhang Tie was okay, instead of being happy, their expressions changed and they quietly withdrew from the crowd.

    Because Zhang Tie still had some injuries and was in a coma, Captain Colin decided to take Zhang Tie back to Wild Wolf Castle.

    Everything he saw in that black hole made Captain Colin completely look at Zhang Tie as a student.  Captain Colin asked himself, at the same age as Zhang Tie, if he jumped into such a hole, he would definitely be dead. It's a shame that this guy could even think of carrying a mining pick when he ran away. If he didn't have that mining pick,  Slowing down the momentum of his jump along the way, at the end of the large gentle slope more than a hundred meters deep, not a few of the bones in this guy's body were intact.

    From the moment he rescued Zhang Tie and announced that he was still alive, Jerome was quietly observing the people watching outside the surrounding cordon. Finally, when he entered the crowd, there were two people standing in front of them.  After quietly leaving amid cheers, Jerome narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately remembered the backs of the two people

    ¡­¡­

    Half an hour later, in a place far away from here, in the cave where Gris and several others stayed, everyone was dumbfounded when they heard the news and events brought by Zuhair and Janel who were out to inquire about the news.  chicken.

    "You mean that Zhang Tie is not dead yet? How is this possible? Even if the pack of wolves didn't kill him, he would still be alive if he jumped into the black hole hundreds of meters deep. Is this guy made of iron?  You won¡¯t die if you do this?¡± Sharon cried out.

    "Everyone has seen it. Captain Colin and the teacher named Jerome personallyHe went down to the cave and brought Zhang Tie up. After hanging the rope that tied the two people down for almost two hundred meters, he finally pulled him up" Zuhair said this with lingering fear, "That guy is too lucky.  He was so old, I really don¡¯t know how he survived after falling into such a deep hole.  "

    "Damn it!" Thinking that he had spent so much effort and set up such a trap, but still couldn't kill such an ordinary guy, Gris couldn't help but became angry, "Zuhair, what do you think we should do now? What else can we do?"  Can¡¯t you think of another way to kill him?¡±

    Zuhair's face turned slightly pale, "This incident has attracted the attention of the Temporary Supervision Committee. Once what we have done is known, we will not end well, and I feel that the person responsible at the scene will  Jerome who was investigating seems to have discovered something. If we do something against Zhang Tie now, it would be too obvious and too dangerous"

    "You said we just let it go?" Gris asked unwillingly. Thinking of the two experiences of being defeated at Zhang Tie's hands, Gris felt that it was a great shame in his life.

    "That's all we can do now. Zhang Tie is too eye-catching now. This incident should teach him a lesson first. As long as you can reach the level three combat soldier and obtain the school's recommendation quota, you will wait until you return to Black Flame City.  , it won¡¯t be too late for us to find a way to deal with him, and taking such a big risk for him now is a small gain.¡±

    No matter how unwilling Gris is, he can only agree with Zuhair at this moment, "Well, let him live for a few more days, and when we return to Black Flame City, we will find a way to deal with him"

    This did not kill Zhang Tie. In his heart, Gres couldn't help but be a little afraid of Zhang Tie, who had never been looked down upon by him.

    Fortunately, this guy named Zhang Tie will never be able to catch up with him. Gres comforted himself that his father was right. In this world, strength and fists are always respected. As long as he always has something that can overwhelm that guy,  The strength that makes him despair, the fist that makes him have to lie down, then one day, he can deal with him how he wants.
