Chapter 124: Chapter 123: Waiting for a Rabbit by a Tree Stump

Bai Qi passed through the wooden door and appeared in a meadow.
Although everyone entered from the same entrance, their landing positions had slight discrepancies. Almost every student quickly distanced themselves from others after landing, looking for suitable cover.
Due to the morning group competition system, they hadn’t intentionally hidden their number plates, so most of the students noticed those with the same number as them.
According to the rules of this match, those with the same numbers were definitely competitors. They, of course, didn’t dare to linger here.
Most importantly, this training session was to last for an entire week. Zhang Shan was clearly forcing them into a war of attrition.
The top priority was to find a safe place and then consider the next steps.
After all, besides these competitors, they were faced with another problem.
Food supply for seven days.
If they had known in the morning that they were going to be trapped in the secret territory for a week in the afternoon, they wouldn’t have thrown away those supplies. They were indeed thoroughly had this time.
“A week of exploration, it looks like I’ll have to keep some food in the secret territory in the future.”
This six-month intensive training suggested that such exercises were unlikely to be few and far between.
It was such a pity about the Earthshaking Bull Demon in the morning. Otherwise, they could get some beef jerky, which would have been convenient to carry.
Bai Qi looked around his surroundings and summoned the Husky, then started searching for a suitable temporary base.
“Schuck, scan the surroundings and find a suitable location. Beta, look out for nearby enemies.”
Alpha was still evolving, so for the moment, the Husky was his only fighting force. Therefore, Bai Qi planned to play it safe and slowly assess the situation.
“Understood.”
Schuck nodded, immediately releasing mechanical bees and a radar to scan the surroundings. On the other hand, Beta looked eager and excited.
Woof!
(I can finally flex my muscles!)
Gazing upon the unending plains, Beta had already started imagining the scene of his grand performance.
Whiz!
Not long after they set off, a Breaking the Void sound echoed from behind Bai Qi. And the target was himself.
Woof!
However, Beta’s perceptual abilities were by no means a joke. He issued a warning as soon as he sensed danger, and his two mechanical arms extended instantaneously to erect a metallic shield against the ambush.
Bai Qi turned around and took cover behind the Husky, quickly locating the enemy who had attacked him.
An Iron Feathered Eagle.
(Name): Iron Feathered Eagle
[Nature]: Flying System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Level]: Second Order Second Tier
“You’ve only summoned an Arctic Ice Wolf, the morning battle has surely drained your Main Pet. You’re at the end of your rope now!”
A self-assured voice echoed from the bushes. Bai Qi looked towards the source and saw a student holding a number 13 plate grinning widely at him, full of confidence.
“This one’s sure he’s got me…”
Bai Qi had no impression of this person, probably one of the latecomers from the second or even the third squad. But this didn’t prevent Bai Qi from developing a liking for him.
Distance doesn’t matter when one sends you a numberplate, the gesture is a heavy one. He saved him from making an extra run, what a great guy!
“Beta, test that one out, Schuck, be ready to attack.”
Woof!
“Got it!”
Upon receiving the command, the Husky’s gun turret instantly deployed, keeping a firm lock on the Iron Feathered Eagle in the sky. The opponent, Ni Ba, went on alert as a result, having the Iron Feathered Eagle increase its altitude. His Iron Feathered Eagle excelled in long-range attacks, its effective attack range was a good 500 meters. He didn’t believe this strange Arctic Ice Wolf could hit a target 500 meters up in the sky.
Seeing this behavior of the Iron Feathered Eagle, Bai Qi didn’t show any signs of panic, instead, the corners of his mouth curled into a strange smile.
Owooooo, Owoooooooo
Accompanied by a melodious howl, both Ni Ba and the eagle found devilish sounds echoing in their minds.
“Red umbrella, white pole, napping after a meal… The whole village comes to eat. Eating under an umbrella, sleeping together on planks… Everyone being air-dried. Air-drying under a white pole, umbrellas growing on our bodies.” “You’re my little, little apple, no amount of love for you is too much… igniting the fire in my life, fire fire fire fire fire….”
“…Oppa Gangnam Style…”
One earworm after another echoed in both Ni Ba’s and the Iron Feathered Eagle’s minds. Their already gathering skills were shockingly disrupted. Screech!
The Iron Feathered Eagle, not understanding what Beta was singing about, still felt dizzy from the enchanting rhythm. It even experienced temporary loss of control over its body and swayed with the rhythm. It sounded an alarm, calling its Beast Master back to reality.
“Such a strong psychic attack, can even impact my control over my body.”
Ni Ba glanced warily at the still-singing Husky, about to regroup and attack. However, the Husky’s melody suddenly shifted, becoming serene and tranquil. Seeing the people and the eagle across from him gradually becoming calm, Bai Qi couldn’t help but chuckle.
The combination of the Great Compassion Mantra and the Soul Whisper was simply amazing.
It was such a shame that the DJ kept changing the tempo, Bai Qi felt a bit hesitant, but the effect could have been even better if he went with it.
“Take them down.”
Watching the Iron Feathered Eagle gradually descending, Bai Qi immediately signaled Schuck to act, and Schuck activated the turret he had prepared long ago.
Boom, boom, boom!
The intense gunfire caught the Iron Feathered Eagle off guard. Trying to distance itself again, a sudden multitude of spider webs rained down from above, forcibly pulling it down back into the range of the gunfire.
Squeak…
Though it was a tier three, the Iron Feathered Eagle couldn’t withstand the bombardment of so many explosive shells imbued with Blast Power, emitting black smoke as it fell from the sky.
“Damn it, can this Arctic Ice Wolf actually use mechanical weapons?”
Seeing this, Ni Ba was about to summon his pet beast again when he felt something crawling on the back of his neck. Turning his head, he found a mechanical spider.
“Game over!”
Bai Qi snapped his fingers and the mechanical spider immediately released a current of electricity, causing Ni Ba to faint.
Woof woof!
(Zapping people feels great!)
Seeing Ni Ba’s current state, Beta felt inexplicably delighted. Just as he was about to gleeful sing a note, Bai Qi immediately covered his mouth.
“The commotion just now was too loud, it’ll definitely attract a lot of people to investigate. It’s best we leave.”
Bai Qi efficiently took the number 13 tag from Ni Ba and then quickly left with the Husky.
Not long after, a Beast Master riding a black panther appeared. After inspecting Ni Ba and the status of the Iron Feathered Eagle, he continued in the direction Bai Qi had left.
Taking on Ni Ba must’ve required a lot of effort, the enemy’s strength is probably just average. This could be a chance to seize the spoils after the battle. Crack!
Before they could get far, the panther seemed to step on something. Soon after, a wave of Explosion Power surged from underground, launching the black panther into the air.
But it wasn’t over, as they struggled to regain balance and land, a series of explosions resounded, giving them no chance to rest.
“Damn it! Who the hell planted land mines here!”
Three days later.
Gu Shan was carefully moving through the grass over a person’s height. Beside him, his four pets were vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
Being a Beast Master with the lowest level, Gu Shan was under the most pressure.
After all, weaklings were often picked upon. Even if they didn’t have the same numbers, gaining one point wouldn’t be bad.
Fortunately, Gu Shan, who was accustomed to running around the mountains in Lingxi City from since he was young, was quite good in terms of physical strength and ability to hide. So, he hadn’t been targeted by anyone yet. However, consequently, he only had his own number plate.
The Four Spirits Fusion Technique consumed too much of his and his pets’ physical strength, so he didn’t plan to use it unless necessary.
“I wonder how’s Bai Qi doing now…”
Thinking of the number 13 tag in Bai Qi’s hand, Gu Shan had a complicated mood.
As a defeated warrior, he longed to fight Bai Qi again. After all, Bai Qi had taken advantage of launching the first strike when he took down the Four Spirits.
In this environment, it would be hard for Bai Qi to separate his four pets as easily as before.
But considering Bai Qi’s impressive performance in recent days, he also lacked confidence.
However, both of their tags were the same. To pass, a battle was inevitable. Bang!
While Gu Shan was hesitating, an explosion suddenly sounded from a valley not far from him.
“Did someone start fighting again?”
Gu Shan bent down, hesitated for a moment, but decided to go check it out.
To complete the training, he would need ten points. After three days, most Beast Masters would have gathered some number plates. If he could succeed with his Elemental Resonance, maybe he could solve the problem once and for all.
Thinking of this, Gu Shan quickened his pace and soon arrived at the front of the valley.
The valley was now in a mess, with traces of explosions everywhere.
Clearly, the explosion heard just now was from here.
But after observing for a while, several people had indeed entered the valley, and there were no signs of battle, only signs of a one-sided attack.
“Could it be a long-range attacker?”
Gu Shan hesitated for a moment but decided to leave.
The chances of the enemy being a part of the Flying System were high, and their attack was a long-range one. With the enemy in the dark and him in the light, it was too risky to act rashly.
Better to wait a bit more.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, with series of bombing sounds, a figure stumbled out of the valley. Around the valley, several turrets emerged, and a gigantic rune- engraved cannon was aimed in the direction of the valley!
“Why do these turrets look so familiar?”
Gu Shan scanned the turrets around him, his memories prickling as if he’d seen them somewhere, but he couldn’t remember.
But when he heard the voice in the valley, he didn’t hesitate to choose to leave.
“The people in the valley listen, you’re surrounded. Surrender and hand over your number plates immediately!”
