Evil Peak Mountain (2)

  The originally excited and thrilled expression was replaced by fear.

  Su Ying was unclear what this Evil Peak Mountain was, after all, she wasn't a refined and cultivated ancient person.

  But she just looked at the fearful expressions on everyone's faces and knew that Evil Peak Mountain was definitely not a good place.

  But she also knew it was true.

  After all, this is the first special training, and the chosen place must be more dangerous in order to see everyone's potential abilities.

  Su Ying's expression was calm and collected, she didn't show any fear at all, but instead seemed to be looking forward to it with some excitement.

  And her calm and composed expression, amidst the fearful faces of the crowd, was all the more striking.

  The sharp and spirited black eyes of the captain of the guard swept across the room, and when they landed on Su Ying's body, a hint of praise flashed by.

  He then cleared his throat and stretched out an arm, making a calming gesture.

  Everyone saw this, although they were still fearful and anxious in their hearts, but immediately calmed down.

  A pair of eyes, all focused on the captain of the guard.

  The captain of the guard spoke again in a low voice.

  "This special training is to test the results of your hard work over the past month. Of course, if any of you are afraid, you can pack up and leave the palace now. I won't stop you. However, if you perform well in the assessment, there will be opportunities for advancement..."

  Then, the captain of the guard continued and announced the rewards and penalties for this special training. This time, the special training was a hunting trip!

  Hunted down a black bear, rewarded with one hundred taels and promoted to first-class imperial guard.

  Upon hearing this, the audience gasped in shock once again.

  After all, they are first-class imperial guards! It is said that their monthly salary is as high as 50 taels of silver, which is an astronomical figure for these people who were either poor or from ordinary families.

  After all, in the capital city, an ordinary family's annual expenditure is less than twenty taels!

  So everyone, upon hearing the captain's words, was excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. If the captain hadn't still been there, they would have already burst into wild cheers.

  Perhaps seeing the excitement in everyone's hearts, the captain of the guard paused for a moment before speaking solemnly.

  "Don't be too happy yet, to become a first-class guard, you must have excellent performance. If you can hunt down a black bear, you can become a first-class guard. Everyone, let's do our best this time!"

  When the captain of the guard finished speaking, the crowd, who had been overjoyed just a moment before, were suddenly drenched in cold water, and their excitement was instantly extinguished.

  After all, there are countless venomous snakes and ferocious beasts on Mount Evil Peak, but these are not the most frightening things.

  This Evil Peak Mountain, who doesn't know and who hasn't heard of it. The deeper you go into the mountain, the more ferocious beasts there are, and they become increasingly fierce and formidable. Among them, the most frightening one is the giant black bear in Evil Peak Mountain.

  It is said that this big black bear is extremely ferocious, with a huge body, like a small mountain, and it also eats people!

  In the past, hunters who went hunting on Evil Peak Mountain never returned. It was said that they were all eaten by this giant black bear.

  So, gradually, this Evil Peak Mountain began to gain a notorious reputation, and everyone dared not approach it.

  Even some hunters who make a living by hunting, for the sake of their livelihood, only dare to hunt small prey on the outskirts of Mount Evil Peak!

  Moreover, entering this Evil Peak Mountain is fraught with danger at every step. Don't even mention hunting that big black bear and becoming a first-class guard; as long as you can protect yourself and emerge intact without missing any hands or feet, it's already a blessing from the Bodhisattva!

  Perhaps everyone has thought of this, and the originally excited and noisy atmosphere gradually becomes quiet.
