Chapter 343 - 170 Rewards and Penalties_2
The crowd of demon hunters naturally gravitated towards Long Dangdang and his group. They weren’t drawn to the Demon Suppression Tree, but to Ling Menglu’s divine array formation! Ling Menglu, positioned within the divine array formation, occasionally released healing techniques. Each team had a priest, but who could compare to the Goddess? Dispersing poisons, healing, recuperating. Naturally, this attracted other demon hunters.
It was then, a deep voice echoed, "Welcome to the magical beasts forest. For the next month, this place will serve as your test field."
Three figures slowly descended from the sky. It was none other than the three instructors: Devil, Madman, and Succubus.
The Devil Instructor’s gaze swept over the dead bodies of the magical beasts on the ground. Then he looked towards the crowd and said lightly, "You all disappoint me. Out of all ten teams, only one immediately considered the Federation’s policy towards magical beasts. The beasts you’ve killed have been carefully recorded and will affect your demon hunter merits. And not in the positive way, they will decrease. All teams who had killed a beast before will have their demon hunter points turned to negative. At the end of the three-month training, if a team’s points are still negative, you will be stripped of your demon hunter qualifications."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces turned grim. They hadn’t been aware that training for reserve demon hunters directly ties into their demon hunter merit points.
The Devil Instructor’s gaze then moved to Long Dangdang’s team, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Demon Hunter Team 19115897, you reacted correctly at the very beginning. You did not kill any magical beasts and even offered help to other teams after landing safely. This action has earned you a bonus. Each team member is awarded ten merit points. For the other teams, killing a breezy falcon reduces two merit points, a green tree python, ten points. The changes to your merit points will be updated via Spirit Crystal. You can also check the updated merit points by connecting your Spirit Crystal with your merit bangle. The deducted merit points of a team will be averaged among its members. Any questions?"
No one made a sound. Even though they knew they’d been set up, they didn’t react in time. They had to accept it.
The Devil Instructor continued, "Next, you will embark on your first mission. Your mission is to survive for the next month in the magical beasts forest. At the same time, you need to tame magical beasts. Remember, you are to tame them, not kill them. Killing a magical beast will result in a reduction of merit points based on the beast’s strength. Taming a magical beast will earn merit points."
"How can we tame the magical beasts? Even if we are summoners, we have never learned such knowledge." The member standing next to Zisang Liuying, Cai Caijuan befuddled asked.
