Deep in the Living

Chapter 269 Attention
The highest level area of ​​Chaos Hive - [Spire]

Even the bureaucrats, sergeants and nobles living in the upper nest cannot look up to the pinnacle.

The pitch-black tower stood alone here, like a perfect spine, with raging flames burning between every bone segment and a circle of flaming crown floating on the top of the tower.

A special meeting room is located on the top floor.

"Chaos Will (CW), The Seven Horns"

There are seven seats here.
The back of the seat is inlaid with multiple spines, each of which exudes the aura of a demon king and belongs to the previous owner of the seat. At the top of these spines is connected a unique devil horn.

Each of the seven corners is unique and one-of-a-kind.

They represent the highest existence of the Spine group. Each of them is a general who commands wars and has slaughtered hundreds of millions of people.

Most of them came to power by killing the previous one.

This position is not fixed and has no term limit.

Their status can last forever, but can also be replaced at any time. Any leader has the right to challenge them and can seize power as long as they win.

However, their class has not changed for quite a long time, and they are already considered "old friends" to each other.

This gathering is due to the upcoming [World Invasion].

The real hell has locked onto a new world coordinate several years ago, which is far away and requires a large amount of fuel to be put into the world furnace.

After all these years of internal warfare, enough "dead fuel" has been accumulated, and now the "world approach" has been completed. In less than a month, a full-scale invasion will be launched.

Once the invasion begins, the Spinemen will act as the vanguard and conduct the most direct world-hopping to plunder first-hand resources.

The meeting was originally scheduled for four hours, but it only took one hour to finalize all the strategic plans.

Just when everyone has nothing to do.

One of them, who could radiate his vision to the entire hive, had insight into an interesting event happening in the middle nest.

Although it is a trivial matter, since everyone is bored now, we might as well talk about it.

"I just received some very interesting information. The Fifth Recruiting Field is conducting a service assessment, and one soldier completed the first two warm-up assessments in just one minute and 11 seconds."

Another demon king with a huge physique responded: "I remember the fastest speed should be 51 seconds."

"No... This soldier is not a native demon or a powerful demon who inherited his bloodline. He is an apostle from outside the region. This is his first time to come to the real hell, the first time to come to the Chaos Hive, and also the first time to fight with our people.

If we only look at it from the perspective of apostles from outside the territory, he should have broken the record.

Besides, from my perspective, he seems interesting.”

The demon kings present were all bored, and some even took out some entertainment facilities and prepared to fight with other demon kings on the spot, with the stakes being their soldiers.

After hearing about the apostles from outside the territory and their record-breaking situation, he became a little more interested.

"Is there a video?"

"some."

The demon king vomited an eyeball directly from his mouth.

This eyeball is very special. Its pupil is actually in the shape of a mouth. It can exhale a unique kind of ash dust, which eventually projects the assessment scene that just took place at the Fifth Recruiting Ground between the office desks.

A non-demon youth with gray hair and black clothes appeared in the center of the screen.

Although the spine was hidden by the coat, the metal chin was very conspicuous.

Another demon king also smelled the unique scent of the torture chamber from the screen, "Dual System... I have heard of this person before. It is rare that the Prologue Group is willing to train talents for us."

As the video plays, the one minute time ends.

The demon kings present were more or less interested, and some were even ready to secretly recruit this man into their own legions through private operations.

Moreover, everyone's eyes were sharp and they saw that in addition to the dual systems of Hell, Rody also possessed a special ability. Although this ability had not been fully demonstrated, it was not necessarily weaker than the Hell system.

at this time.

The Demon King, who was sitting in the center of the conference room, had just finished reviewing the war documents. He closed the parchment scroll in his hand and expressed his opinion on the trivial "matter" in front of him.

"Give him a special assessment temporarily. If he passes it, I will be responsible for him."

The demon king who was in charge of taking out the eyeballs and playing the video had a frustrated look on his face. "Boss, there's no need to rob people like this. I should have known not to tell you about this."

“Special soldiers should have special arrangements. Although the real hell has been invading the world, the level of the world has been stuck at a bottleneck and has not changed for a long time.

We need to think about a longer-term war. The special assessment is arranged like this, and you will be the one to broadcast it live. Anyway, the meeting is over, so let's just treat it as a pastime."

The person who was called "boss" despite having equal status, conveyed the so-called special assessment to everyone's mind with just a flick of his finger.

The demon king who was in charge of playing the video narrowed his eyes all over his body.

"Boss, this...isn't it too difficult?
This young man has just come to us. Although the quality of his spine is high, it is still in the first stage and has not yet been upgraded to magic. It would be a waste if we accidentally kill or maim him."

"It is precisely because he has not yet ascended to the level of a demon that he can still choose a [path]. Let's arrange it this way... let that slave give it a try."

"Listen to the boss."

Seeing such an interesting test arrangement, the other demon kings present also became interested.

Each of you take out some snacks.
They might start picking their feet, picking their teeth, or rubbing their private parts, completely relaxing and enjoying this lowest level of service assessment.

It had been a long time since they had watched such a low-level duel, and they couldn't help but recall their own participation in service assessments long ago.

……

[The Fifth Recruiting Ground]

After two warm-up tests, those sent to the conscription ground were the real "enemies", slaves captured by the Spine Army during the war.

Half an hour has passed.

Rody stood in the center of the arena, breathing heavily, with steam escaping from his body.

He has killed three slaves, including:

"The Starving People of the Dark Side of Hell", "The Plague Saints Who Worship the Ichor", and "The Painful Creatures of the Prologue"

The most difficult to deal with were the hungry people, whose faces were hollow and sunken, and whose bodies were as pale as zombies. I thought it was easy, but it had a small range of space swallowing, and directly bit off Rody's coat and abdominal muscles.

In the end, he succeeded in killing him with his speed.

Fight five games in a row and win all of them.
Fei Ji was stunned.

Rody's performance far exceeded expectations and has reached the upper limit of the service assessment. It is estimated that all the legions will extend olive branches to him.

Just as he was about to congratulate Luo Di on the end of the assessment.

Several doors suddenly opened around the arena, and several Spine Warriors with the same "Soldier" label appeared on the field. They were all personnel who had passed the service assessment before.

Including Rody, there are six people in total.

at the same time.

A hellish notification came from the Fifth Recruiting Ground:

≮Due to your excellent performance in today's service assessment, an additional special assessment will be added! The six of you who have achieved good results will form a combat team to face the cancer beast from [Original Pus].

Don't worry, this is a product reshaped using the corpse of a cancer beast and does not have the ability to upgrade to a demon.

But its strength, physique and plague concentration have been restored.

This test will train your temporary cooperation ability. If you can kill the cancer beast and survive, you will be awarded the status of "elite soldier"≯
The spine warriors present all showed horror when they heard about the cancer beast, but with the relevant explanation and the final reward, they immediately showed their determination and their spines were crackling.

They also turned their eyes to Rody, the apostle whose appearance and clothing were very different from those of the Spine.

They had all seen Rody's previous performance on the field.

In this war-worshipping race, strength is respected. Rody won their respect with his performance and was also recognized as the captain of this operation.

The door opens.

A strong smell of decay emanated wildly, and some kind of green spores also spread along with the smell.

Luo Di immediately put his left hand on his face.

The "jaw-splitting apparatus" is constructed and can burn any pathogenic bacteria that he may inhale into his body.

The other spinal warriors also used similar abilities to seal their airways and looked towards the door together.

A huge, bloated and obese life is squeezing out from a ten-meter-high gate. Pus is constantly flowing out during the squeezing process, and its lower body is supported by six swollen fat legs.

The layers of belly bags are covered with heads of various beasts, flies, insects and even demons.

All of these heads have rotted and have been combined together by some kind of cancerous growth to form this so-called "Cancer Beast".
