Wilderness Survival (Part 3)

She remembered the voice.

During the school tryout, someone used a phantom loudspeaker to cheer her on, which scared her.

It turns out that the trumpet spirit was him.

But...how could he, a student from another school, be present at the Thorn Flower school's tryouts?

She immediately realized something and looked at Belle.

Belle sighed and admitted, "Yes, I brought him to watch your game." She quickly added, "Blind date."

Linyin raised an eyebrow. Blind date? Blind date with someone watching a game? Fine, I'll interrogate her later.

She turned back to face the Izumo group and shook her index finger, "I'm not negotiating with you."

The people from Izumo were a little angry, "You..."

"Change or not, just one word." Wuji true energy filled his eyes, and Linyin's eyes turned golden.

[Notice: Countdown 10 minutes, the first stage is about to begin.]

As the electronic announcement sounded, the smell of sulfur in the air became stronger.

Seeing that he would not get any benefits and would even be affected by the disaster, Skechers secretly signaled to his teammates to retreat and was about to run away.

I took two steps back when my heel suddenly hit a protruding rock.

He was wondering where such a huge stone came from in the sand, when the whole sand began to move. The sand rolled over, and the stones buried underneath were suspended one by one, gathering together in front of him to form a giant rock monster.

"What is this thing!" As soon as the giant beast appeared, the pressure made it difficult for them to breathe.

The mountain giant - also known as the stone man, tilted his head to look at the trapped humans in front of him, and the corners of his mouth made of stones actually pulled out an anthropomorphic sneer.

Everyone in the lighthouse found it difficult to understand why the stones under the sand just flew out and formed a mythical beast.

"Could this be another one of their heavenly-level mythical beasts?" Skechers muttered to himself.

Lin Yuzhu of Thorn Flower possesses a Netherhorn Python, a fact that has been revealed. Crystal Diya's mythical beast is extremely mysterious, and even the outside world hasn't been able to guess its identity through match footage.

"...a mountain monster." Daoming Si Lian saw the origin of the stone and shook his head with a wry smile. "Just follow the ratio you mentioned: one tube of nutrient paste for one liter of water."

Belle couldn't help but ask, "One day's supply of nutrient paste for one day's supply of water. In 50-degree weather, you drink a liter of water a day?"

Daoming Si Lian's dark eyes gleamed with a strange light, "Welcome Miss Belle to supervise."

"Tsk." Belle rolled her eyes.

Watching the countdown ticking slowly on the sky, Daoming Si Lian said solemnly, "Form an alliance with us, and our water resources will be at your disposal. Otherwise, we'll stick to this ratio. No more concessions."

They still have food sources to solve. If they replace all the water with thorn flowers, what can they talk about with others?

But if we form an alliance with the Thorn Flower... not only will we no longer have to worry about food, but we might even be able to make it into the top four.

Rin also glanced at the countdown. There were less than 8 minutes left. If she were to say, it might not even take 8 minutes to eliminate Izumo. But she didn't make the decision herself. She turned around and asked, "What do you think?"

"Boss, we listen to you."

Only Belle remained silent.

Lin Yin looked at her and hesitated for a moment: "Daoming Si Lian has some strength and his character should be okay, but I don't know the others well."

Linyin nodded to show that she understood.

"We can form an alliance, but when not in combat, you must all maintain a distance of 100 meters from us. If you exceed this range, the alliance will automatically become invalid." Linyin cut the Gordian knot, "Now, hand over the water."

………

Sitting in the studio, Fei Rui was a little confused.

Everyone around him called him Young Palace Master and treated him with great respect. But he always felt something was wrong, a sense of dislocation, as if he had taken over a life that didn't belong to him.

So, what about the life that originally belonged to him?

"Young Palace Master, here's the roster of the participating teams." An elderly man, seemingly in his octogenarian, dressed in a commentator's uniform, stepped down from the stage and approached him. "My humble name is Mao Tan, and I'm the steward of the Frost family, from which your father hails."

Mao Tan leaned over and studied the young man in front of him out of the corner of his eye. Compared to before, his features seemed sharper and deeper. Although his eyes were confused, his aura had an added sense of danger.

He knew that when Flora reconstructed his memory, she would not include any reference to Frost. After all, she had tried to give him her last name, Pine—some shabby, commoner surname from the garbage heap. They would definitely oppose it to the bitter end and win back this talented, clean-sheet heir.

"Young Palace Master, you may not remember me. But it doesn't matter. You just need to know that I will always be your most loyal servant." Mao Tan made the most humble gesture he could.

"I have no father, and I don't need servants. Go and do your work," Fei Rui replied coldly. The man's eyes were full of demands on him, and he didn't like it.

But if we really go by this standard, the way his mother looked at him also made him very uncomfortable.

"...Okay." Mao Tan wanted to say something else, but a forced melon is not sweet. Anyway, they have plenty of time.

Seeing Mao Tan turned and left, Lucien stepped out from the shadows, "Ninth... Young Palace Master, we will be entering tomorrow."

Fei Rui was not interested in his topics. He did not show any emotion whether he was entering or leaving the arena. This world lacked a sense of reality for him.

"Lucian, why do you always like to stand in the shadows?" He asked a question that made Lucian's heart skip a beat.

"I'm used to it." Lucien paused, remembering that Feirui's new memories didn't include the Shadow Guards. He could only explain, "The palace's guards used to be called 'Shadow Guards'. They usually stayed hidden, never appearing in public. After a while, I just... got used to it."

However, Flora disbanded the Shadow Guard.

The rebellion of the Shadow Guard Captain was a fuse, and coupled with Fei Rui's rebirth, Flora began to think about the meaning of the Shadow Guard's existence.

In terms of strength, she should be the best in the world, so why does she need guards?

As for ostentation, she doesn't care about these things.

In terms of practicality, ever since she decided to cut ties with the old nobles, the shadow guards have lost their purpose in carrying out missions.

So, Lucien and Pinkie Pie—yes, Pinkie Pie was squatting in another corner—became Feirui's followers.

Flora calls this "waste utilization."

"I suggest you take the time to observe these teams. The reason we set up this entrance stage is to showcase the strength of the younger generation of the Fantasy Beast Hall. Especially now that the Hall Master has disbanded the Shadow Guards, we need to demonstrate well in order to maintain the reputation of the Fantasy Beast Hall."

Pinkie Pie couldn't help but speak out.

Fei Rui's status had changed, but she still annoyed him. No. Even more so. He was still the same, completely unaware of his position. He hadn't done his job properly as a Shadow Guard, and now he wasn't doing his job properly as Young Palace Master. And as Young Palace Master, she still had to use honorifics for him and couldn't roll her eyes at him.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do anything." Fei Rui rejected Biqi coldly, which made Biqi so angry that her hair stood on end.

Lucien smiled softly to himself. After his rebirth, Feirui seemed to have a worse temper. His former self, perhaps because he had been in an orphanage for as long as he could remember, and then became a Shadow Guard as he grew older, had almost smoothed out his edges. Even if he could be a little willful in front of him, his attitude was generally well-polished.

Now that he had lost those memories, perhaps he could return to his original self. On this point, he was sincerely happy for him.

…

"Mithril Academy encountered Avalon Academy head-on!" Mao Tan, who returned to the stage, began to give a passionate lecture.

[Who abused a 70-year-old man by doing a 24-hour live broadcast at such an old age?]

[Find a young man, let the old man go and let me go too]

[The old man is trying hard to memorize the jokes and follow the hot topics. He has a miserable life.]

[What kind of ancient buried CP is this?]

[Watching Mithril's game in Avalon, when Mithril was avoiding suspicion, this couple ended up together]

[I want to see the thorn flower, that mysterious kitten is so cute]

Fei Rui was scrolling through the comments and saw words like "thorn flower" and "kitten", and suddenly felt a little anxious.

"What's wrong?" Lucien noticed that his expression was off. "If you feel unwell, please tell me immediately."

"Nothing." Fei Rui declined, but made another request, "Give me the shot of the thorn flower."

…

【03:00:54】

The countdown on the sky curtain entered three minutes.

Four gas masks, two phantom guns, two phantom shields, and... a rechargeable core. These were supplies that were either too good to be true or too useless to use at this stage.

"20 points." Crystal glanced at the words on the stored value movement and threw it to the stone man. "Stone, you are responsible for hiding it."

A hole slowly appeared in the body of the mountain monster, wrapping the movement inside, and nothing could be seen from the outside.

"20 points is not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth. The Lighthouse is so poor." Crystal complained.

"They're lucky enough to have earned points right out of their supply packs." Yu Zhu sorted and packed the food and water, then shook her head, denying her own statement. "But meeting us... isn't exactly lucky."

Just now, they eliminated the four players from Lighthouse with ease and got 60 points.

Eliminate one person, 10 points, x4.

The movement contains 20 points.

If you ask, isn't there a team of five people? Why were only four eliminated?

Because 2 minutes ago!

"Since we are allies, I'll give you one." Lin Yin nodded, and Ah She immediately understood. He loosely wrapped Transy into a human stick and rolled in front of Daomingsi Lian.

"Do you have to be so ruthless?" Daoming Si Lian was puzzled. "I haven't offended you, have I?" Why should he attack his childhood friend?

"They are so weak that they are as weak as paper and were eliminated easily. We fought too fast and this one just happened to be left." Belle frowned, "10 points per head, do you want it? Don't you want me to take it?" As she spoke, the shadow of the Dark Night Orchid appeared from behind.

"Since you left him to me..." Daoming Si Lian took a deep breath, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "I choose to let him live."

"Okay." Linyin stopped Belle who was about to retort, "Then you will be responsible for taking him. As I said before, keep a distance of 100 meters from us."

After stocking up on food and water for the short term, Linyin relaxed a bit and started chatting with Bei'er: "You're right, Daomingsi Lian is a decent person."

"Maybe. I just said it casually."

"But he also buried a bomb for himself. That Trancy is definitely not the right person to be trusted with the back."

"Let him be, who cares about him." Belle fluttered her eyelashes, her expression difficult to read.
