Chapter 255: Danger
Hiss!
When the oil dripped on the flames, it immediately ignited a small flame and a wisp of green smoke. Then, a fresh fish fragrance with a slight smell drifted through the forest.
Chu Nan flipped the grilled fish that he had skewered with a tree branch in his hand and discovered that both sides were already cooked. He stopped what he was doing and placed the grilled fish aside. He picked up the piece of meat that he had long prepared and placed it on the temporary simple grill.
They needed to stay here on Continent 3 for a week. To the examinees, other than the most important mission of hunting ferocious beasts and accumulating points, surviving on this unfamiliar continent was the most realistic and serious test they faced.
Many examinees did not have any experience in wilderness survival. If they were suddenly thrown into such an environment, they would only be at a loss.
Two days before the test began, many examinees were forced to leave the test because they did not know how to survive in the forest.
There were even many examinees who announced their withdrawal because they had accidentally eaten poisonous food and could only get rescued.
Although Chu Nan did not have any rich experience in the wilderness, he had grown up on a farm after all and often did some messy things like fishing, hunting, and barbecuing. He was much more used to this situation than ordinary people.
Of course, because he lacked all kinds of raw materials, he could only barely ate the grilled fish and roasted meat to deal with hunger. He did not have any other choice.
To be honest, in the past two days, his experience in wild barbecue had increased greatly.
This grilled fish was much better than the ones he had made in the past. Apart from the lack of salt, it could almost be called delicious.
After setting up the meat, Chu Nan held the grilled fish in his left hand and slowly chewed it. His right hand rolled around the grill as he opened his personal terminal and read the current situation of the test.
According to the real-time scoreboard, because he had hunted two Giant Spiritual Bulls in a row in the morning, his points had increased greatly, so his ranking had increased greatly. Now, he had finally squeezed into the top 300.
As long as he maintained this ranking, he could successfully enter Star Cloud Academy after the test ended.
However, this was clearly not Chu Nan’s goal.
He looked at the top of the ranking and discovered that Feng Mingxi was still at the top. His points had actually increased by 63 points compared to before, reaching 379 points.
The current second place was changed to the previous third place. His points had reached 292 points, only 87 points less than Feng Mingxi. Compared to the difference of 94 points between the previous second place and Feng Mingxi, the difference was slightly smaller.
Chu Nan continued to read and discovered that the points of the examinees ranked at the top had increased greatly.
Although he had encountered two Giant Spiritual Bulls in a row, causing his points in the morning to far surpass the previous two mornings, the gap between him and these examinees was even greater.
“It’s obvious that these guys can’t all be hunting E-rank beasts. Then, where did they encounter so many D-rank beasts?”
Chu Nan was a little depressed.
With his current strength, it was not a problem to deal with a D-rank beast, but his luck was really bad. He could not encounter any D-rank beasts for a few days in a row, causing his points to increase slowly.
If it was still like this in the next few days, he would definitely not be able to squeeze into the top of the rankings. How could he have the qualifications to be valued after entering Star Cloud Academy and come into contact with the Arhat Overlord Golden Body?
“No, I have to work harder.”
When he thought of this, Chu Nan finished the grilled fish in a few mouthfuls and increased the fire. He did not care that this would burn the meat and increased the speed at which it was cooked. He ignored the taste and directly held it in his hand. As he tore it and stuffed it into his mouth, he sneaked into the depths of the forest.
He had not walked far when Chu Nan suddenly heard a few human-like shouts.
“I can even encounter this…”
Chu Nan cursed his luck.
Since others had already gone to that place, even if there were ferocious beasts, they would probably have been hunted down by now. It would not be his turn at all.
Just as he was about to turn around and change direction, Chu Nan’s ears twitched. He discovered that the shouts coming from there were not the shouts of ordinary examinees fighting ferocious beasts. Instead, it was more like cries of surprise or even screams.
Chu Nan stopped and hesitated for a moment before turning around again and running in the direction of the voice.
When he was close, the voice Chu Nan heard became clearer.
Those voices were definitely screams and pain. It did not sound like the examinees were hunting ferocious beasts, but like they were being chased by ferocious beasts.
Apart from the screams, there was also a continuous thunderous rumble that sounded extremely shocking.
Hearing another extremely miserable scream, Chu Nan’s heart skipped a beat. He frowned and sped up.
After shuttling through the forest for about half a kilometer, Chu Nan finally saw the situation in the direction of the voice.
In the dense forest ahead, a ferocious beast that was not very huge and was probably smaller than the Giant Spiritual Bull, but it was thicker. Its appearance was a little similar to the wild boars on Earth, but its entire body was blue.
Although it was smaller than the Giant Spiritual Bull, the impact was even more terrifying.
With a casual collision, it directly broke the huge tree that was surrounded by two people in the middle.
Moreover, it was abnormally thick-skinned and jealous. The terrifying impact of breaking the tree actually could not affect it at all. It only delayed its advancement for a moment before it immediately increased its speed again.
Under its terrifying impact, a young girl was frantically fleeing forward. However, in her panic, she happened to kick a protruding tree root and fell.
Seeing this scene, Chu Nan could not help but frown.
When this girl fled just now, her entire body emitted a weak Internal Breath light. It could be seen that she should at least be an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. Now, she had tripped over the tree root on the ground. It was really a little unreasonable.
However, the impact of this ferocious beast was really shocking. It was not completely incomprehensible for her to be so flustered.
Seeing that the ferocious beast was about to reach the girl who had fallen to the ground, Chu Nan’s figure moved and he approached from the side before throwing a punch.
Boom!
A powerful Fifth Revolution Internal Breath erupted. The force of Chu Nan’s punch exceeded three tons!
Although this could not compare to the impact of this ferocious beast, the angle Chu Nan chose was very exquisite and it happened to hit the back of the beast.
Borrowing its terrifying impact, the beast immediately lost its balance. Its huge body flipped a few times in the air, and it directly broke a thick tree and fell to the ground.
However, Chu Nan did not stop there. He flew up and crossed more than ten meters. He stomped his foot in the air and guessed the neck of the ferocious beast.
Crack!
After a crisp sound, a large wound was opened on the neck of the beast by Chu Nan’s kick. Blood surged out like a fountain.
