Jerome, who was investigating the accident at the scene, walked through the passage where a bunch of students gave way and walked over. Every year, Survival Trial of students will have casualties. As the organizer of the trial, Provisional Inspection Committee is not responsible for the casualties of students, but if there are casualties, he must also give an explanation to the school and the parents of the students - all For students who are accidentally killed during the trial, seven teachers from the three schools Provisional Inspection Committee must jointly issue an accident investigation report, which can be regarded as an explanation to the school and the student's family. 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 student's family must know how the student 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 happened to inspect the scene.
Jerome was the best at judging the clues at the scene. From the place where Zhang Tie dropped Mining Basket to the edge of this pitch-black hole, Jerome walked back and forth twice, and even went to squat in the grass where the wild wolves were ambush for a long time. Finally, Jerome came back with a strange expression on his face.
"How is it, Jerome?" Captain Colin's face turned slightly dark. He still remembered this guy Zhang Tie. Among the graduates of this class, Zhang Tie was one of the few people who could leave an impression on him. Unexpectedly, it was this guy who made an impression this time. This made Captain Colin feel a little unhappy. The death of Zhang Tie reminded Captain Colin of the days when familiar comrades and friends often left this world after a battle. This made Captain Colin feel bad.
"It's terrible, it's terrible..." Jerome's face was serious.
"Of course it is scary to encounter such a thing. Within five kilometers of 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's defenders often sweep around the castle. These wolves are killed and scared. I don't know why there are groups of wild wolves appearing so close to the castle this time?" A female teacher who came looked at the two wolf corpses on the ground and shook her head slightly, "It's a pity. Judging from the wounds on the two wild wolf corpses and the oral accounts of the witnessing students, this student named Zhang Tie is actually a talented person. He is brave, decisive, and resourceful. He can kill three wolves by himself, 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 usually perform in school? Is this person your student's recommended student this year?"
"This person's performance in school is very average. He has not had any outstanding performance in the past three years. He is just a smart guy, a little smart, and has a good temperament..." He frowned slightly, although he was not used to Jerome's way of speaking. Captain Colin replied matter-of-factly, "By the way, this guy is also very good at escaping and benefiting himself. As for recommended students in the school, this year's recommended student quota in our school is currently favored by Gelis and a student named Bulwick. This person's performance in the school has not yet met the requirements for recommended students. Jerome, I don't know why you ask such a question? By the way, what do you mean by what you just said about this student being terrible?"
"Such a person is not a recommended student of your school?" Jerome looked at Captain Colin in surprise, and then smiled, "You all look down on such an outstanding person. I just carefully surveyed the distance from that grassland to this black hole, and calculated it carefully in my mind. Do you know what I found?"
"What?"
"The moment that 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. It is human instinct to run away from a wild wolf when you are weak..."
"Of course it's strange..." Jerome said calmly, "It is human instinct to run away when encountering danger, but knowing how to run away in danger is scary. This black hole is almost two hundred meters away from the place where he met the wild wolf. It is the only place within this distance in all the surrounding terrain where he has a chance to escape from the wolf's mouth. The direction many people choose to escape in that situation must be towards He was running towards Wild Wolf Castle or a crowded place, but this guy ran towards this black hole and chose an optimal escape route. This is what is scary about him. At the moment of escaping, he had already calculated in his mind the possibility of escaping in every direction, even the time it would take for him to be caught up by this group of wolves, and the distance he could run during this time..."
Seeing that someone didn't know what he was talking about, Jerome simply drew a point on the ground with the branch in his hand, "This point is where Zhang Tie met the wolves..." Around this point, Jerome drew A circle, "This is the maximum radius of activity that he can run before this pack of wolves catches up with him, about two hundred meters..." After drawing the circle, Jerome clicked on the edge of the circle again, "This is the black hole, which is where we are now. This location is The only place in this circle where he can escape from the wolf's mouth is the only place on the land where he can escape from the wolf's mouth. Apart from this place, at any point in this circle, that guy must have been bitten by the wolves until there is only a pile of broken corpses left. This is why I say that the student named Zhang Tie is terrible. In such a large place, in just an instant, before he was overtaken by the wolves, there were thousands of possibilities, but he was able to discover the only possibility that allowed him to escape. This kind of keen judgment when encountering danger, this 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 like what 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 that has a little hope.
"Is this... could it be a coincidence?" A teacher hesitated and said. Many teachers, not to mention students, may not be able to make such critical judgments.
"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 burden when escaping. His only purpose of escaping with the mining pickaxe is to use the mining pickaxe to give himself a chance of survival when jumping into the hole. The hole dug by Gold-Eating Python cannot always be completely vertical to the ground. As long as the slope in the hole is reduced, he can use the mining pickaxe to slow down his fall..."
"That means, is it possible that this kid Zhang Tie is still alive now?" Captain Colin opened his mouth wide, looked at the black hole, and then at Jerome, and asked in disbelief.
"In my impression, it is very difficult for such guys to die. Each one of them has more vitality than a cockroach!"
"I want to go down!" Captain Colin said.
"When the rope from the castle is delivered, I will go down with you to have a look..." Jerome rubbed his chin with one hand, full of curiosity about Zhang Tie. It is really rare for a student to be able to calmly find a glimmer of hope in despair under such circumstances.
The ropes in Wild Wolf Castle were quickly delivered. More than twenty students and teachers on duty came over carrying the ropes. These ropes were standard strong ropes purchased by the Black Flame City military. The thumb-thick ropes were non-slip and wear-resistant. There was no problem in hoisting two tons of things. When these ropes were connected, they were more than 400 meters long.
"This is the longest rope Wild Wolf Castle can put together. No one knows how deep the hole in Gold-Eating Python 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. If I don't go down and take a look at a student falling into a hole, I won't be able to bear with my conscience."
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 took a green Fluorescent Glow Stick, and then jumped into the dark hole one after another...
In this Gold-Eating Python hole that may be bottomless, no one dares to be careless.
Seeing two people jumping into the hole one after another, the surrounding students all let out a cry of surprise...
When they descended more than 20 meters into the cave, all the light in the cave turned into Fluorescent Glow Stick in the hands of Captain Colin and Jerome. With the help of the high-end Fluorescent Glow Stick, Jerome kept staring at the wall of the cave. When the first buffer and curve appeared, Jerome was shocked and pointed at the fresh mark on the wall. In the hole made by the gold-eating python, there are circles of strange spiral patterns on the cave wall structure. Among these spiral patterns, a straight trace is very obvious, and its newness is also easy to identify.
"This is the impact point of the mining pick, and this is the trace drawn downward from the impact point. Did you see that the little guy named Zhang Tie really used the mining pick to escape from his life. This mind is so scary..." Confirming his guess, Jerome's eyes were shining, and his interest in Zhang Tie was once again raised to a higher level.
Captain Colin was also very excited. I 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, and they slid down the rope all the way. Along the way, there were almost no scratches on the cave wall, deep and shallow. Those fresh scratches were like road signs. Although there were some forks in the entrance of the cave, the two people slid down along the scratches towards the place where Zhang Tie fell...
People at the entrance of the cave can't see what's going on inside, so they can only watch the rope outside the cave entrance being swallowed piece by piece like a noodle by the black hole with its big mouth, 20 meters - 30 meters - 50 meters - 80 meters - 100 meters - 120 meters - 150 meters - 170 meters -
The moods of the people above also became heavier as the rope slid down. With such a deep distance, how could the person 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 lower rope was pulled hard three times in succession, and then the people above pulled up the rope together. The speed of lowering the rope was very slow, but it was much faster to pull it 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 get up...
A few minutes later, when the rope was almost pulled back, with a long roar coming from the cave, Captain Colin and Jerome flew out of the cave like two big birds. As soon as Captain Colin landed, everyone's eyes were focused on the figure tied to his back by Captain Colin.
"Zhang Tie is still alive, but now he just fainted..."
Captain Colin shouted excitedly. Among the crowd of onlookers, several guys from Airplane Brotherhood almost jumped up. Everyone who came to watch the excitement cheered. For everyone, this was like witnessing a miracle. A guy fell into a black hole of almost two hundred meters and was still alive. This vitality is simply stronger than a cockroach...
With a "snap", Jerome dropped the body of the wild wolf and the mining pick in his hand on the ground, and everyone was shocked. This guy who fell into many holes was not only more life-threatening than a cockroach, he also seemed to be a very powerful guy. He could 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 using a mining pick to save his life when he fell into the hole, he even used the body of the wild wolf he killed as a safeguard. To protect his body's buffer, if it were not for this wolf corpse, Zhang Tie would have at least several bones broken all over his body at this moment. But at this moment, except for the injuries on his legs and some scratches and bruises on his body, not a single bone on this guy's body was broken, but he just passed out. It is simply 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 impressed by the student Zhang Tie. Captain Colin asked himself, when he was the same age as Zhang Tie, what should he do? Jumping into such a hole is definitely a dead end. It's a shame that this guy even thought of carrying a mining pick when he escaped. If it weren't for the mining pick that slowed down the momentum of his jump along the way, at the end of the big gentle slope more than a hundred meters deep, not a few of the bones in this guy's body would be intact.
From the moment he rescued Zhang Tie and announced that he was still alive, Jerome was quietly observing the people watching from the surrounding cordon. Finally, when he entered the crowd, two people quietly left amidst the cheers of the crowd. Jerome narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately remembered the backs of those two people...
Half an hour later, in a place far away from here, in the cave where Gelis and several people stayed, everyone was dumbfounded when they heard the news and events brought by Zu Haier and Jia Naier who were out to inquire about news.
"You mean that Zhang Tie is not dead yet. How is this possible? Even if the pack of wolves didn't kill him, he jumped into that black hole hundreds of meters deep. How could he still be alive? Is this guy made of iron? He wouldn't die even if he did this?" Sha Long screamed uncontrollably.
"Everyone saw it. Captain Colin and the teacher named Jerome personally went down to the cave and brought Zhang Tie up. They tied the ropes with which they went down to the cave and put them almost there. After two hundred meters, the person was finally pulled out..." Zu Haier was still frightened when he said this, "That guy was too lucky, 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, Gelis couldn't help but became angry, "Zu Haier, what do you think we should do now? Can we still think of another way to kill him?"
Zu Haier's face turned slightly pale, "This incident has attracted the attention of Provisional Inspection Committee. Once what we have done is known, we will not end well. Moreover, I feel that Jerome, who is responsible for the investigation at the scene, seems to have discovered something. If we do something against Zhang Tie now, it will be too obvious and too dangerous..."
"You said we just let it go?" Gelis asked unwillingly. When he thought of the two experiences of being defeated at the hands of Zhang Tie, Gelis felt that it was a great shame and humiliation 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 third level Battle Soldier and get a recommendation spot from the school, it won't be too late for us to find a way to deal with him when you return to Black Flame City. Taking such a big risk for him now will be a small gain!"
No matter how unwilling Gelis is, he can only agree with Zu Haier 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 didn't kill Zhang Tie. In Gelis's heart, he couldn't help but feel a little wary of Zhang Tie, who had never been in his eyes.
Fortunately, this guy named Zhang Tie will never be able to catch up with him. Gelis comforted himself. His father was right. In this world, strength and fists are always respected. As long as you always have the strength to overwhelm that guy, make him despair, and have the fists to make him lie down, then one day, you can deal with him how you want.
