Chapter 34: Run...

Under the intense feeling of weightlessness, people are stimulated to have unlimited potential. Elderberry branches emerge from behind, quickly spreading to a length of four or five meters, and suddenly plunge into the trap.

Lilith's body suddenly stopped, and she was caught by her own spirit in mid-air. Hot air rushed out, and she looked down. The churning black liquid revealed a terrifying and dangerous aura.

“That was a close call…”

She breathed a sigh of relief. If she had fallen, she would have been killed without a trace left.

My body was still trembling slightly, and I heard anxious voices asking questions from above.

"Lady Lilith!"

"Senior!"

"Hey, are you okay?"

The gap above was now covered by thick metal pillars. Even with the strength of an S-class sentinel, it would be impossible to break it in a short time.

Si Jue and Qi Hanxing exerted force with their hands, the muscles on their arms bulged, and they could almost hear the teeth-grinding "squeaking" sound, but the trap did not move at all.

"Ahem, it's okay!"

Lilith estimated the distance between herself and the cave entrance, which was about fourteen or fifteen meters. Going up was not a problem, but how could she get out from between the metal pillars?

"Hey, it seems like I've locked up the wrong person, Maria."

Suddenly, inexplicable frivolous words appeared, and a colorful head emerged from the cave entrance, smiling evilly.

"It seems like I've trapped a useless little mouse. What a waste of my trap."

"Federal people?"

Qi Hanxing looked at the other person warily, then suddenly realized something, his eyes widened slightly.

"No, why can I understand your words and see your face? Is the shielding function ineffective?"

"No, it's because there are only two of us teams left."

Si Jue's back was slightly hunched, and his voice was a little tense when he answered.

This is the unspoken rule of the exchange meeting. Once there are only two teams left, the shielding mechanism will no longer be effective. No matter teammates or opponents, it is impossible to miss the honor of first place.

"That's right, you are the only ones left on the hunting list."

"Ian, stop talking nonsense with them and don't forget our mission."

Behind Ian, a tall girl spoke impatiently, her long braid almost hanging down to her ankles. Three sentinels appeared silently.

The five-man team of the Federation is all S-rank.

Si Jue's heart sank suddenly. He looked down at the trap. Lilith's figure almost blended into the black background.

"Lady Lilith..."

As if sensing the silence above, Lilith's words echoed from inside the trap.

"Hey, Si Jue, Qi Hanxing, there are two of you each. Alice, that guide is no match for you, right?"

A brisk and gentle voice broke the silence. Lilith smiled contentedly, not seeming to think the situation before her was dangerous at all. She spoke to her teammates as if she was having fun.

"Huh? Maria, look at her, she actually looks down on..."

"Although your vision isn't great, at least your judgment this time was quite accurate. Lilith, let me show you what I'm capable of!"

He rudely interrupted the enemy's words, and Qi Hanxing's pupils flashed with excitement. Although his spiritual body was suppressed, he thought he was still pretty good with just his physical combat strength.

"That's right. We have to get rid of the person in front of us first before Lady Lilith can come out."

"I won't let you down!"

In an instant, the momentum of the three people changed, the abandoned steel and iron building was filled with a dangerous atmosphere, and war was about to break out.

Outside the screen, Xie Huan frowned, but Fu Sui showed no emotion, only his sleeves were wrinkled by himself.

"Maria is the most outstanding guide in the Federation Army and has been experienced on the battlefield. Logically, such a person should not participate in the military academy exchange meeting."

"But her age is appropriate, and her identity is impeccable. Rather than questioning her, it's better to say that the Imperial Military Academy doesn't have a more powerful young guide."

Likewise, Maria's sentinels have been following her for a long time, and their tacit understanding must be quite good. I'm afraid Lilith and the others will be in trouble this time.

Compared to them, the students' emotions became more intense.

"Three against five, how can we fight?"

"No, why does Lilith always fall into the trap? Is she doing it on purpose?"

"I really don't want to watch it anymore. It's embarrassing for the Federation. What if they think all our guides are like Lilith?"

"Don't worry, even though we have more opponents, we won't necessarily lose. That girl called Alice, her spirit form looks pretty powerful."

"But isn't the spirit body suppressed now? What's the point?"

The sound of anxious communication continued to be heard. Shen Jiaxu looked up at the screen above with a calm expression. When he wrote Lilith's name, he had already guessed the result.

"Will you be lucky this time, Lilith?"

Lilith didn't know whether she was lucky or not. She never worried about her own victory. They were the heroine and the hero. If they lost, the game planner would just sacrifice himself to the gods.

The only thing to worry about was that the black liquid seemed to be constantly rising, and the hot breath was about to burn her throat.

She should save her own life first.

There were constant sounds of fighting coming from the top, mixed with a few muffled groans, and it was hard to tell who was injured.

The elder tree's trunk became scorching hot under the heat wave, and the branches and leaves on the trunk began to curl up. Lilith also felt that her limbs began to burn.

"It seems that damage to the spirit will also backfire on the host itself. No wonder those sentinels lose their combat effectiveness once their spirits are severely damaged."

Lilith took a deep breath, looked up at the hole that was emitting a faint light, closed her eyes, and used her mental power to change the structure of the tree trunk.

The elder tree that was dragging her like a spider web was shrinking at this moment. The outer branches gathered upwards, silently passed through the metal pillar, suddenly stretched out, and hung at the mouth of the trap.

At this moment, Lilith was like a cocoon wrapped in a blanket, swaying in the air as the heat wave blew.

The guide's spirit body does not necessarily have to have a fixed form. For example, Sophia's jellyfish can extend its tentacles infinitely, and Alice's dodder vines can also entangle any tangible object.

Lilith's elderberry, under her mental control, can be transformed into the shape she wants.

"It's just that the energy consumption is a bit too great... I always feel a pain in my heart when I use all my strength."

The blonde girl muttered something as she was finally pulled to a position close to the cave entrance. She grabbed the metal pillar with both hands and stuck her head out of the gap in the cave entrance.

Just one glance and she was stunned.

Because the scene before her eyes was not at all one-sided as she had imagined. Si Jue and Qi Hanxing were already stained with blood. Alice was grabbed by the neck, but her head was still twisted backwards.

"Hurry... run... Senpai."
