The Wolf King's defense was too strong, blocking Jiang Kai's Venomous Sting. The delay led to Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu being surrounded by the wolf pack.

Su Nuannuan watched everything unfold, her heart burning with anxiety.

After the Wolf King was stabbed in the eye by the Venomous Sting, it finally fell, convulsing all over.

But Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu were also under attack by the wolf pack, their bodies covered in countless wounds, unable to get up.

The remaining dozen or so Shadowless Wolves, seeing the Wolf King killed, wanted to flee but hesitated upon seeing the attackers down and out.

This was easy prey right in front of them!

They cautiously approached the two, getting closer. If they realized the two had no strength left to resist, it would be over!

At that moment, a figure darted out from the forest.

Su Nuannuan rushed out, standing beside Yuan Zhu and Jiang Kai, holding a Venomous Sting towards the remaining wolves.

"Get lost! Or I'll kill you all!"

The wolves warily eyed this human. This woman looked fierce, and the weapon in her hand was identical to the one that killed their companion!

After pacing back and forth for a moment, the wolves finally turned and scattered away.

Seeing the remaining wolves flee, sweat dripped down Su Nuannuan's forehead!

If they had attacked, she, a level three Barefoot Doctor, would have been a perfect meal for them...

Luckily, the Wolf King was dead, and they feared the Venomous Sting in her hand, not daring to attack recklessly, and finally retreated.

Su Nuannuan quickly checked on Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu's condition.

Their bodies were covered with numerous scratches, their skin torn in many places, their breathing weak.

With Jiang Kai's agility, he could have avoided the attacks, but in that situation, he had to abandon defense and attack with all his might, resulting in severe injuries!

"Benevolent Healer!" Su Nuannuan activated her Professional Skill without hesitation, and did so twice in a row.

Two weak green orbs of light emerged from her, landing on Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu.

Soon, the orbs merged into their bodies, and their breathing finally returned to normal.

After using the skill twice, Su Nuannuan immediately felt dizzy and then collapsed...

Jiang Kai opened his eyes to find Su Nuannuan lying on top of him, their skin touching, creating an indescribable feeling.

Fortunately, reason brought Jiang Kai back to his senses; now was not the time for wild thoughts.

"Nuannuan!" Jiang Kai quickly got up, supporting Su Nuannuan, relieved to find she was still breathing.

Yuan Zhu also woke up at this time, looked at his injuries, and glanced at Jiang Kai, "Almost got killed because of you..."

Jiang Kai shook his head, truly not expecting the Wolf King's defense to be so high.

Thankfully, they were safe.

He glanced at the battlefield, the Wolf King lay motionless not far away, and the other Shadowless Wolves were barely alive.

"Zhu, go finish them off," Jiang Kai said, picking up Su Nuannuan and walking to the Wolf King.

He originally wanted Su Nuannuan to deliver the final blow, but unfortunately, the Wolf King was already dead, so he could only grab her hand to kill some ordinary Shadowless Wolves.

...

Su Nuannuan left some herbs, and Yuan Zhu and Jiang Kai tended to their wounds, resting briefly.

When Nuannuan woke up, she found Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu sitting beside her.

Notably, the little golden mouse was perched on Jiang Kai's shoulder, patiently waiting for its "owner."

"Nuannuan!" Yuan Zhu exclaimed, "Are you okay?"

Su Nuannuan held her forehead, weakly saying, "I'm fine, just for a moment, I thought I was going to die."

"You really shouldn't have used Benevolent Healer twice; it takes too much out of you. You should consider your own state," Yuan Zhu said, concerned.

"I... I was afraid you two would die," Su Nuannuan tried to sit up but still felt very dizzy.

Jiang Kai supported her, "You gave us your strength, so I'll carry you for the rest of the way."

Jiang Kai's attributes were high, and he recovered faster, so he was in better shape than Zhu.

Su Nuannuan was a bit reluctant, as they were wearing very little, and it felt embarrassing to be carried by Jiang Kai.

But unfortunately, Su Nuannuan was in poor condition, and time was running out, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Zhu, can you hold on?" Jiang Kai looked at Zhu, who was big and had more injuries.

Yuan Zhu stood up, supporting himself, "I have to hold on, less than an hour left, we can't fall here."

Jiang Kai nodded, bending down to carry Nuannuan.

The three of them headed towards the Teleportation Array.

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Kai pushed aside the branches in front of him and saw the circular light array not far away.

"Teleportation Array!" Su Nuannuan exclaimed, her voice weak.

Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu exchanged glances, seeing the excitement and thrill in each other's eyes.

"We finally passed the trial!" Zhu said excitedly.

"Yes!" Jiang Kai nodded heavily. Now he finally had the chance to earn money for his brother's medical bills!

"Zhu, let's go!"

After a slight dizziness, when Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu's vision returned to normal, they found themselves facing three to four hundred people.

These people were divided into three groups.

Some were dressed lightly as newcomers, some in uniform military attire, and others in various outfits.

Behind these people, three to four hundred meters away, stood a towering gray-black city wall, with a plaque on the city gate that read "China City"!

In front of the gate, a wide road led to the southwest, with a diverse crowd coming and going through the gate.

"Calling! China City! Ghost Star!" Jiang Kai squinted slightly.

He finally had the chance to become one of those Calling players!

Both Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu were filled with endless emotions!

At that moment, Jiang Kai felt a slight pain in his shoulder, and the little golden mouse suddenly jumped off and darted towards the southwest, disappearing in an instant.

The scene happened so suddenly that Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu didn't know what to make of it.

It was Su Nuannuan who reacted first, "Jiang Kai, your pet ran away!"

Jiang Kai was at a loss for words.

In the trial area, that little guy stuck to him like glue, patiently waiting while he killed the Wolf King.

And now it suddenly turned its back and ran away?

"Hahaha, who said they were charming? Kai, your pet doesn't want you anymore!" Yuan Zhu laughed, gloating.

Jiang Kai felt like he had been dumped by a girlfriend, though he never had one, but it must feel like this.

"This little guy... how could it just run away!"

"Could it be that it just wanted me to take it out of the trial area?" Jiang Kai had a strange thought.

But then he shook his head; it was just a mouse. Could it really know about the trial area's level cap and use human help to leave? That would be too much!

While Jiang Kai was still puzzled, several men in military uniforms approached.

Su Nuannuan gently tapped Jiang Kai, "Jiang Kai, let me down, I can walk on my own now, with so many people watching..."

Jiang Kai realized and set Nuannuan down.

The leader, a middle-aged man in military attire, smiled warmly at Jiang Kai and the others.

"Congratulations on completing the Newcomer Trial. It was close; you almost didn't make it."

"We were planning to distribute the Beginner Trial rewards, but unfortunately, with your completion time, there are no points. However, you can participate, which is also an opportunity to learn from other new strong players."

"This time, Login Gate No. 18 has produced several outstanding newcomers!"

Jiang Kai glanced at the crowd and spotted a few familiar faces among the newcomers.

"Huang Wei? He's here too?" Jiang Kai was surprised.

The newcomers standing here had all passed the Newcomer Trial, numbering only about thirty.

In previous trials, the pass rate was usually one in ten, but this time, including the three of them, there were only thirty-five, below the usual level.

"It must be the stowaways!" Yuan Zhu said coldly, "Instead of growing stronger and pioneering new areas, they focus on suppressing us. It's despicable!"

At that moment, a subordinate behind the middle-aged officer whispered to him, "Boss, they're wearing beast skins!"

The middle-aged officer immediately frowned, realizing he had overlooked this detail.

He asked in a somewhat suspicious tone, "Do any of you have a kill record?"
