Chapter 67 Team Competition
Sheng Mu breathed with difficulty, and felt that the air he inhaled was almost cold to his lungs, with a stabbing pain like a needle.
He looked at Xie Ning who was looking up at them with contempt. All the curiosity and admiration he had felt disappeared after he came into contact with the real person, and then condensed into a new sentence: I will definitely not get along with this person.
You are really risking your life.
Cursing secretly in his heart, Sheng Mu always felt like he was dreaming back to the thrilling moments a few seconds before the BOSS became powerful. Is this the God-given supernatural physique with super high affinity? I'm so envious. No wonder the news reports were everywhere at the time. Everyone knew that Lingyun Guild had produced a person with great potential.
This ability has weak side effects and does not harm oneself, why can't he and his brother have it...
With a subtle mood, he quietly looked at the boy on the other side, trying to see if the other's expression was similar to his own.
No.
It is still the same calm and peaceful state where nothing can change the situation and even the collapse of mountains and the crack of the earth cannot break it. It’s so familiar that it makes people more angry.
Hey, we're in trouble, aren't we? Are you going to be hit on the head with an ice brick by that old witch?
Even if you have thousands of thoughts, they only last for a moment in your mind. In tense moments, the slow-motion-like images allow people to think more clearly and quickly.
In an instant, changing water currents appeared everywhere, covered with white frost under the influence, and were about to condense into ice to attack from all directions, forming a dragnet.
Everything happened very quickly.
Before he could react, two people descended from the sky and made a brilliant appearance. They caught him off guard and rudely interrupted the upcoming big move.
"!"
Feeling the figure falling on his head, Xie Ning was startled. He immediately withdrew his hand and jumped back. The energy that was ready to move suddenly died down, dissipated and flowed back into his body.
The ice spikes that were ready to go in the air also paused, then fell to the ground and hit other people's heads, using their remaining coldness to stubbornly launch a final attack.
The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Si and An waved happily to the two people who landed safely, and mouthed their names. The members of the Dawn Squad were stunned, and their prepared resistance plan got stuck when they saw the newcomer.
Human joys and sorrows are not shared.
Xie Ning's eyebrows turned cold, and he stared expressionlessly at the two psychics who occupied his original position. One of them was still wearing a suit and tie in the deep forest, and the other one appeared on the battlefield with a calm expression. They looked so inconspicuous and so familiar.
"..." She opened her lips slightly, the determination in her eyes disappeared, replaced by an unusual calmness after extreme anger, "The superpower of Dawn."
"You're disrupting other people's duels in such an impolite manner. Do you think you've lived too long?"
Her friend who was preparing her superpowers also froze for a moment, with a look of loss of control on her face for a moment. After a moment's silence, he turned and disappeared behind Xie Ning and never showed up again.
Qi Heng glanced thoughtfully at her movements and the emotions that briefly appeared due to the failure of her plan, and inexplicably began to look forward to the next plot.
"Please calm down, ma'am." Calint smoothed the wrinkles on his suit, smiled and bowed slightly, "I have no intention of interfering with the duel, but as a partner of the government team, it is my duty to lead my companions out of danger."
"If you still want to continue, we are happy to accompany you."
"That's right, you can't be so hypocritical, old witch." Sheng Mu, who was blocked, poked his head out and shouted, "Didn't you also bring a lot of people to surround others? How come you broke down just because we had two more people?"
“…”
Xie Ning took a deep breath and relaxed. A variety of emotions surged in her chest. The pros and cons emerged in her mind. The interweaving of reason and emotion made her laugh out loud.
She covered her mouth slowly, her eyes wandering between Qi Heng and Si Yu'an, with a half-smile on her face: "Okay, okay... everyone."
"After all, in this competition, I will accept any means used by the enemy, no matter whether they are honorable or not. Correspondingly, I will also give everything to achieve what I want."
"Therefore, I am willing to accept the loss."
There was a tug at the hem of my clothes behind me, revealing a hidden sense of urgency.
Xie Ning tilted her head, not showing any impatience, but just smiled gently at her friend, as if to comfort him.
After saying that, she turned around first and left in the slightly surprised looks of everyone, returning to the bottomless forest with her teammates and being swallowed by the darkness.
"It was a perfect appearance." After everyone left, Calint brushed his sweaty bangs and said, "The timing was just right, right?"
"Yes, you are this one." Si Yuan gave a thumbs up and pointed in the direction of safety.
"But we have to go back and support the captain and his men immediately. Things have gone off track."
I originally thought that with such a good terrain, I could survive to the end. As a result, the plan was interrupted by an unknown person and the offensive and defensive battle had to start so early.
His instincts began to call out, and he subconsciously stroked his cherished weapon.
There is really no time to rest, and the feeling of being pushed around comes back.
Ji Linfeng had been connected to the headset from the beginning. Hearing this, he put down his hands from the keys, nodded to them, and said slowly: "Well, let's go quickly. Qin You said that her umbrella is about to be marinated in blood."
——
The current ranking is: the government team almost topped the list, competing fiercely with the Lingyun team in second place. The third place is the Dawn Team, and the fourth place is the Daybreak Team. The points difference is also subtle, and it only takes one opportunity to surpass them.
The fifth place is also a fiercely competitive position, at the end of the top five. The Lingyao team that originally occupied this place was replaced after only one Wuma Tu was left. It has not been completely settled yet, and several teams are moving up and down like a dance.
In reality, the audience’s hearts were also in turmoil, and all the doubts they had about this tournament were forgotten in the exciting game.
By the time the eight people hurried to a safe place, the originally peaceful area had become as chaotic as an ant nest, with supernatural powers flying everywhere, brushing past everyone indiscriminately.
It can be said that it is a mess, but there is order in the chaos and only rationality remains in the frenzy.
Most of the contestants are here, and the spacious environment has become cramped. After taking three steps, they encountered a small group, and after taking five steps, they encountered a large group. The contestants were almost blinded by the killing. With such a scene, it is no wonder that the ranking is like a ballet.
There are still twenty hours until the end of the competition.
It was the middle of the season, so normally there wouldn't be such a chaotic scene. But perhaps it was because of the atmosphere, everyone was feeling restless. The smell of blood lingered at the tip of his nose, becoming fuel and making the fire burn even more vigorously.
But if you say it's completely off track, it's not to this extent. At least you can explain it away by saying that "the contestants are at an impulsive age." Everyone who gets on top has their own reasons.
The radar in my heart was beeping, an ominous premonition emerged, and the air was filled with a sense of stagnation as if a storm was about to come. A few people avoided this farce, being careful not to be hurt by accidents, and followed Fu Ling who came to pick them up and took a detour away.
"I feel a little bit sanity-ridden. My intuition tells me that something is wrong with the current situation." Fu Ling quietly squeezed into the middle of the crowd, pinching her bracelet to divert attention. "It was normal at the beginning, but it seems to be a critical point? Everyone seems to be getting irritable."
A minor disagreement led to a shoving match between the two friendly teams. She was watching the show with great interest at first, until she inexplicably developed an irritable mood and wanted to beat someone up.
This gave Fu Ling a big fright. Could it be that someone with the ability to manipulate others is doing something sinister in secret?
"But controlling such a large area at the same time is too..." She held her breath and wrinkled her face. "It's too inappropriate to appear in this game, right? It's completely not in the same league!"
"So I think this is probably a little trap set by the government to test whether the will of the superpowers is strong?"
“…”
Others fell into deep thought.
"you're right."
They all agreed with this conclusion, as he was the only psychic among the crowd who was unaware of the situation.
——
After many twists and turns, I finally reunited with my teammates.
Lin Muyu and Ye Yunhe's uniforms were ultimately damaged, with rips and blood all over them. Fortunately, it was an illusion, and they didn't really lose another set of clothes.
Just as Qin You and Yun Paopao had said in the contact, the metal umbrella had been soaked with blood, and the bubble machine, which looked cartoon-white at first, was also stained with blood. Yun Paopao wiped it with her sleeve in pain, but the more she wiped, the more blood became.
Among them was a stranger face who seemed to be exhausted and drained of energy, but he was still using his little strength to assist and heal others.
When Si Yu'an saw Ye Yunhe being attacked from both sides, he immediately rushed forward with his sword in hand, jumped up due to inertia, and kicked a sneak attacking player away.
Qin You's eyes lit up when he saw this group of familiar figures. When support arrived, she felt her strength instantly refreshed, and she had the strength to swing the metal umbrella again.
"You're finally here! Calint, quickly use your powers to suppress our negative emotions! And Linfeng, quickly use the wind to gather the monsters!"
Karint's brows jumped. Ji Linfeng beside him had already stretched out his hand and used his special power. Under the strong wind, his weight seemed to become lighter, and he was unconsciously pushed along by the airflow and squeezed together.
Under this kind of external force, the sound was blown away by the wind and one could only shout out loud. Calint stroked his hair that was affected and responded unhappily: "My ability is 'inducing birth', not 'containment'. You should suppress it with your willpower!"
But the woods are indeed his comfort zone.
Calint raised his hand to touch the tree trunk beside him and closed his eyes to concentrate. The next second, the trees trembled, the branches extended, and all the controlled parts moved as he wished, like a whip, hitting the opponent below with unstoppable power.
After that, lightning and thunder cut through the darkness like a silver dragon, sweeping away a large number of enemies and bringing a little respite to the teammates. Qi Heng retracted his gaze and glanced at Fu Ling: "Who is that?"
"He's my teammate. I met him by chance while cleaning up. Since he's a healing department member, the captain agreed to his request to stay." Fu Ling saw him asking the question and answered it all at once.
Seeing the boy staring at his teammates without saying a word, she was startled and asked cautiously, "He also swore an oath with the contract symbol, and the points distribution is 8:2... Could it be that this boy is not sincere?"
"No, nothing." Qi Heng shook his head, interrupting the other party's remarks of sacrificing his own relatives for the sake of justice.
He raised his eyes to the sky, and saw that the bright moonlight was faintly blood-red, dyeing half the sky red.
"This is an urgent situation, so we need to act quickly. Once we have dealt with these people, we will immediately move away from this area."
"The real storm is coming."
