Chapter 1400 - 1395: Solving Separately
The waiting time was longer than the fighting time.Mu Shuangshuang stood at the back of the line. Finally, someone came out covering their face rather than being carried out!
A swarm of men rushed up to ask what was going on.
The man wasn’t stingy in his response.
"I asked the people inside, and they said this time they’re only recruiting two escort masters for the Northwest escort. If you win, you can immediately receive five taels of silver from Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
By then, all preparations will be handled by Zhenyuan Escort Agency!"
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
With so many people here, only two can remain; isn’t this like searching for a needle in the sea or retrieving chestnuts from the fire?
How can such a difficult task be accomplished?
"Ah, this Zhenyuan Escort Agency always claims to recruit people but only selects one or two each time.
We come here month after month, and when is it ever our turn? We might as well stop competing!"
One man said.
Some left immediately.
But many refused to give up because of the five taels of silver and the favorable conditions.
Another group came up, and when they left, they looked similar to the previous group—either bruised and swollen or carried out.
"There’s no way any human can do this, Zhenyuan Escort Agency is too harsh. I’m quitting being an escort master!"
Another man who was driven away cried, saying this.
He scared away a few more friends.
Mu Shuangshuang was observing the situation from the back the entire time. She wasn’t nervous; in fact, she was somewhat amused.
The escort agency isn’t a charity; since they’re looking for escort masters, they’ll definitely choose who they consider the best.
If they chose a bumbling fool and lost money, it would be a small issue, but if they caused harm leading to lost lives within the escort agency, that would be a big problem.
After all, incompetent teammates are the most terrifying creatures in the world!
The rounds of competition went on, and when it was Mu Shuangshuang’s turn, it was already near dusk.
Just as she walked into the escort agency, a man with a sword said to her, "Kid, lucky for you, you’re the last one, you don’t need to compete in the first round, just go straight to the second round!"
The selection at Zhenyuan Escort Agency only has two rounds.
Groups of three fight, and the winner moves to the second round.
The second round is a chaotic battle, and the last two standing are chosen as escort masters.
Following the man with the sword, Mu Shuangshuang went to the combat area where she saw other men similarly aspiring to be escort masters. Including her, there were twelve people in total.
Among twelve people, leaving only two isn’t easy.
"Choose a weapon. By the way, once you’re in the ring, your life is out of your hands. If you’re afraid of dying, just jump off!"
The man with the sword, though rough, was detailed in explaining the rules to Mu Shuangshuang.
"Thank you!" Mu Shuangshuang replied.
The man hesitated, then spoke, "Thanking me doesn’t help, the most important thing is to stay! But with you being so small, you probably won’t stand a chance against those men!"
The man casually pointed to a hefty guy weighing around two hundred pounds and said to Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang smiled slightly, "Though the sparrow is small, it has all five organs; that man looks sturdy, but he’s actually very weak. It’s called being fat but frail; defeating him shouldn’t be difficult!"
Having said this, Mu Shuangshuang walked around the weapon rack.
She returned to the man and asked, "Do you have any hemp rope? The strongest kind!"
"Hemp rope? You choose that? Why not pick knives or guns? Even clubs are better, their destructive power far exceeds hemp rope!"
The man named Zhao Erbiao, somewhat respected in Zhenyuan Escort Agency, had seen various heroes and their weapons over the years, but the hemp rope requested by the unsightly person in front was unheard of.
"Why don’t you choose a whip? I’ll get you one, it’s definitely better than hemp rope!"
Zhao Erbiao still looked down on hemp rope, even thinking it devalued an escort master’s stature.
"No need, I’ll use hemp rope!" Mu Shuangshuang refused his kind offer.
Seeing her insistence, Zhao Erbiao couldn’t say more and indeed sent someone to prepare the hemp rope.
When the hemp rope was ready, the other twelve men were already in the ring.
The person wearing a straw hat, face indistinguishable, and standing in front of Mu Shuangshuang earlier was there as well.
"This ugly freak is too slow; just declare her unable to compete!"
"Exactly, what use is such a short man? If he weren’t so hideous, I’d really think he was a woman in disguise!"
Mu Shuangshuang was indeed short, only reaching 1.6 meters at the moment.
Though she was still growing taller, she was quite young.
The group in the ring unceremoniously mocked and even insulted Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t angry; she tested the hemp rope and felt it was ready, then slowly stepped into the ring.
Once in the ring, Mu Shuangshuang approached the man in the green robe and said, "You take on five, and I’lI take on five; you don’t bother me, I won’t mess with you!"
Her words made the men present burst into laughter.
The two-hundred-pound guy ridiculed Mu Shuangshuang’s arrogance even more.
"Ugly freak, watch how I squish you like a bug today!"
With that, the man rushed toward Mu Shuangshuang. When he ran, the ring even trembled.
As he almost collided with Mu Shuangshuang, she sidestepped, nimbly swung her hemp rope.
The man’s back instantly split open, showing just how powerful that hemp rope strike was!
Below the stage, Zhao Erbiao was completely stunned. Whether it was Mu Shuangshuang’s dodge or her subsequent hemp rope swing, both required some real skill.
Moreover, from beginning till now, it seemed she was always composed.
Not the least bit nervous, she even selected her teammate right away.
The green robed man was truly formidable; Zhao Erbiao saw him effortlessly take down the other two competitors.
The hefty man wailed a few times, then started attacking Mu Shuangshuang again.
But his plump body was far less agile than Mu Shuangshuang.
His attacks were always dodged by Mu Shuangshuang, but when it came to her hemp rope, he couldn’t fend it off.
After a few rounds, his back was already marked with wounds.
On the other side, the green robed man hadn’t accepted Mu Shuangshuang’s suggestion, but in action, he acknowledged her.
He divided the men into two groups and focused on defeating five of them.
Before long, his group of five was all taken down.
Finally, Mu Shuangshuang kicked the hefty man out of the ring, and the remaining three rushed at her.
At this moment, knives in their hands gleamed with cold light, clearly intending to take Mu Shuangshuang’s life.
"Brothers don’t show mercy, let’s make this ugly freak taste our strength!"
