Chapter 42



The scene was in complete silence.

Everyone stared at the arena with their mouths wide open, as if they were under a spell of immobilization.

Gu Xingmian opened his eyes and was almost startled by the scene in front of him.

What happened? Did time stop? !

He just flicked the star pattern, and now the skill is over, so time should have returned to its original state.

He turned his head and poked Xiao Qiong cautiously.

Xiao Qiong grabbed his hand and looked him in the eye. He actually guessed his amazing train of thought and paused: "Time is not stopped."

It's just that the skill is so effective that it shocked everyone.

Julian stared blankly at the thorn that pierced his arm, his brain was still a little dull, and he didn't react for a while.

Until blood flowed out and severe pain invaded his body.

His face suddenly became distorted.

It was not an illusion!

The thorns that should have pierced into Xiao Qiong's body actually turned around and pierced him!

Why did it happen? !

He remembered something, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Gu Xingmian in shock.

His eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to swallow Gu Xingmian.

Xiao Qiong frowned, exerted force with his hands, and directly pulled him over with the whip, and then kicked him off the ring.

A loud "bang" broke the eerie silence at the scene.

The referee came to his senses.

What just happened?

He vaguely remembered that Xiao Qiong grabbed Julian's whip, but Julian took the opportunity to use the Thorn Auxiliary Card. At such a close distance, Xiao Qiong had no way to avoid it and could only admit defeat after being injured.

This should be the case under normal circumstances. As for the thorn turning and stabbing back at Julian like a boomerang, it must be an illusion caused by lack of sleep.

The referee raised his head and saw Xiao Qiong on the ring without any injury, and then saw Julian struggling to get up under the ring and trying to tear off the thorn on his arm.

The referee: "!"

It's not an illusion! !

Gu Xingmian had just run and jumped to cooperate with Xiao Qiong, and he had to focus on Julian's movements. He was tense both mentally and physically. Now that the adrenaline had subsided, he suddenly felt a little tired.

He wanted to wait for the referee to announce the winner, and then go into Xiao Qiong's spirit body to rest.

But he didn't expect that the referee would be dazed again when he looked at them.

Gu Xingmian could only remind helplessly: "Teacher, the competition is over."

Referee: "Oh oh oh, the ring competition... is over."

Gu Xingmian waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the next sentence, so he had to remind again: "Teacher, you have to announce the winner."

The referee woke up as if from a dream, and looked at the people on and off the ring again to confirm, and then announced in a voice that even he found unbelievable: "Ring competition, Xiao Qiong... wins."

Gu Xingmian waited for a while, but didn't wait for the cheers, so he simply raised Xiao Qiong's hand: "Winner! Great!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a heated discussion suddenly broke out in the audience.

"Did you see what happened just now?!"

"Thorn Bend?! This is outrageous!"

"Did Xiao Qiong use some new auxiliary card?"

"What auxiliary card is so awesome! I'll buy him all of them!"

At this time, a weak voice came from the crowd: "Is it possible... this is a skill of the UR card?"

As soon as this was said, the surrounding discussions immediately stopped.

The next second, all eyes looked at Gu Xingmian on the stage like wolves and tigers.

Xiao Qiong's brows wrinkled deeper, and his body blocked Gu Xingmian without leaving a trace: "You go to my spiritual body to rest for a while."

Gu Xingmian wanted to rest for a long time, and as soon as he finished speaking, he hurried in.

There were sighs of regret from the audience.

The cards were good, but they were just other people's sobs.

Only the high school students were concerned about another thing: "Did anyone count? That was within ten moves, right?"

The seniors who were discussing fiercely were all stunned.

The high school students were chattering.

"I counted, I counted! If you don't count the previous probing, the official fight was eight moves, it was indeed within ten moves!"

"I've said it before, Xiao Qiong is not the kind of person who talks big, if he says ten moves, it's ten moves!"

"If Julian hadn't been dithering before, maybe it would have been over in two minutes, and we could have set a record, ah."

The seniors silently looked at Julian who was being carried away with a distorted expression of pain.

Winning doesn't count, do you still have to kill people and destroy their hearts? !

Do you high school students have any humanity this year? !

After Isaac and the others came back to their senses, their hearts were beating wildly.

Excited or excited, neither of them can describe their feelings at the moment.

The senior who made the bet thought that they were too happy and would forget the previous bet.

Unexpectedly, Isaac looked at him and said with a smile: "Senior, fulfill the contract. Do you want to be self-sufficient, or do you want me to find someone to provide for you?"

Senior: "!!!!"

Damn it! !

Xiao Qiong returned to his teammates, but he didn't expect that his teammates' performance was similar to that of the audience in the audience.

Moreover, as teammates, they were close to the water and got the moon first, so they asked directly whatever they wanted to ask.

Eric was as excited as a monkey: "Boss, this is Xingmian's skill, right? Right?!"

Xiao Qiong nodded.

"Hahaha, I guessed right!" Eric just finished feeling proud, and then said aggrievedly, "Boss, why didn't you tell us before? I was scared to death just now!"

Xiao Qiong: "Didn't I tell you?"

Eric: "..."

He thought blankly that before the game, Xiao Qiong did tell Gu Xingmian to help him, but they all thought that it was just to comfort Gu Xingmian. In the end, was it true? !

Gu Xingmian rested for a while and felt much better. He wanted to join in the fun: "Let me hear how they praise me!"

Xiao Qiong: "..."

He raised his eyebrows: "Keep praising."

Eric: "?"

Xiao Qiong: "Just the same praises you gave to Xingmian just now, keep going, use richer language and more sincere expressions."

Eric: "?!!"

This is showing off! This must be showing off!

Wuwuwuwuwu, do you think I can't see that your expression is so upright! You devil!

Just when Eric was feeling sad, Fu Fenglin seemed to remember something: "During the terrain class before, Instructor Dai's electric beam ring suddenly malfunctioned. Was it also Xingmian's credit?"

Xiao Qiong said lightly: "Yes."

Dai Baiyu and Wright came over and just heard this sentence.

Dai Baiyu: "..."

He knew it! He didn't make any mistakes at that time!

Wright: "Ahem, it can be regarded as clearing your name."

Dai Baiyu: "Actually, I had doubts at that time, but I didn't dare to think about it. If it's true, it's too outrageous." Wright

: "Yeah."

Although there are also reflection auxiliary cards, that thing can only reflect the attacks of a few basic auxiliary cards, and it often fails, which is really useless in battle.

Gu Xingmian's skill seems to be applicable to any auxiliary card, and it is activated silently.

No matter how unfavorable the situation is, as long as he is on the battlefield, he has the ability to turn the tide at any time.

Even if he doesn't use it, his existence is a kind of shock. After all, no one wants to use a powerful auxiliary card and then be attacked.

It's scary to think about it.

Wright smiled bitterly: "Don't say you didn't dare to think about it at that time. Even now, I still feel dizzy and can't believe it!"

Principal Buckle, who was sitting in the stands, flushed and coughed lightly: "It is worthy of being the first UR card in the history of St. Robert's Continent. It's a pity that it was originally prepared as a secret weapon and shocked everyone in the four-school league. Now it has to be exposed in advance."

"Isn't it, directors?"

The corners of the board members' mouths were stiff. They had to agree with him, but they were roaring in their hearts.

You are saying this hypocritically now!

If you had said this earlier, would we support senior students to do this? !

And don't think that you can cover up your nervousness before the game by pretending to be in control now.

You are obviously the same as us, you just found out!!

But even if they are angry, it will be useless, after all, the current result has already explained everything.

They originally thought of letting the seniors compete with Xiao Qiong and others. If they win, they will naturally take the place in the four-school league. If they lose, it has nothing to do with them, the directors.

Moreover, if they lose in the four-school league, they still have an excuse to say that they have tried their best and perfectly pass the buck.

But now that Gu Xingmian's skill has come out, they have become the ones who deliberately exposed the secret weapon, and Principal Baker has caught them.

Several directors were so angry that their faces turned blue.

It's all the fault of those seniors!

With the results of the ring game coming out, the second team game is about to begin.

Team competitions cannot be as simple as arena competitions, so the participating players have to take a suspension car to the new competition venue.

At this time, the atmosphere in the suspension car of the seniors was low and heavy.

For them, participating in the four-school league is not only an honor, but also an extremely brilliant resume.

Whether they want to join the military to climb up or want to work in a big city, it can be of great help. After all, no one wants to be assigned to the defense line after graduation, which is dangerous and has no future.

But the result of the first game cast a thick shadow on their hearts.

Before the game, they thought they had won the first game steadily, and they would have less pressure in the second game.

Who knew that the first game would be lost so badly.

All the pressure is now on them.

If they lose the second game, they will not only become the laughing stock of the whole college, but also the public opinion they have tried so hard to stir up will backfire on them.

It's simply like stealing a chicken but losing the rice.

The person in charge of the command is named Carl. He looked seriously at the opponents who were laughing and full of energy on the suspension car next to him, and his eyes finally stopped on the leader Song Nanting.

During the school selection, he didn't take Song Nanting and her team seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, it was she who made him lose miserably and had no dignity.

He still remembers the scene when he and his teammates fell into the trap and were tied up.

Before the game, he was full of ambition and fantasized that he could become famous in the school selection. Who knew that he didn't even have the chance to show his talents and became a captive along with the others.

It was simply a great shame and humiliation.

And Song Nanting was the culprit for his shame.

Thinking of this, he looked at Song Sitian who was a little uncomfortable at the end of the team.

Although he did not approve of Julian's approach, for the sake of victory, he still agreed to give a place to Song Sitian.

But seeing Song Sitian like this, he couldn't help but frowned and looked away in annoyance.

As they got off the suspension car and stood at the entrance of the competition venue.

In the college square, the central arena was removed and the familiar screen appeared again.

The members of the first ring match also stayed and sat in the seats where their teammates had been before, watching them compete.

Gu Xingmian stayed in his spirit body for a while, but felt that watching was not enough, so he ran out again.

At first, it was still normal, but gradually, the God Cards that were originally resting in the spirit bodies of their respective card masters all ran out and approached Gu Xingmian.

Gu Xingmian felt that the chair was a bit hard, so a few furry and soft creatures came up to him and offered to cushion him. Gu Xingmian felt that it was a bit boring to just look at them, so a pair of cards that looked like scissors immediately "grunted" to crack melon seeds for him, and some gave him a massage, and some relied on their cuteness to get into his arms.

Xiao Qiong, the genuine card master, was immediately squeezed out of the place.

Looking at Gu Xingmian who was happily hugged by people on both sides, he narrowed his eyes slightly. He couldn't bear to let Gu Xingmian go, so he planned to teach this group of ignorant cards a lesson.

Who knew that before he could take out his auxiliary card, he was held down by a group of card masters who came out of nowhere.

"Calm down, classmate Xiao Qiong!"

"It's not his fault that the cards are popular. As long as he comes back to us in the end, we card masters should be generous."

"Yes, yes, you will get used to it after more times..."

Xiao Qiong: "..."

What nonsense are you talking about!

Fortunately, the second game started before Xiao Qiong exploded.

The referee first explained the rules of the game.

The second team game will last for three hours. Everyone has a signal device on them. This signal device can be given to others or snatched away, but it must be on the person. Once it leaves the human body, the signal device will be destroyed.

And every ten minutes, the location of the signal device will be reported.

All players are not allowed to bring any communication equipment. The team with the most transmitters will win.

The camera scanned each player. They stuffed the transmitters into the transmitter bags on their waists. When the referee said "start", the timer was pressed, and they entered the competition venue from two different entrances.

The competition venue is a brand new map.

The spectators outside can see a clear panoramic map, but for the players in the map, the map is very complicated and they can only explore it bit by bit.

As soon as the Carl team entered the competition, they gathered together, found a direction at random, and walked forward without a care. They were able to quickly solve the attacks of various alien plants or agencies along the way. After a while, they walked a long way like a bulldozer.

In comparison, Song Nanting's team was much more cautious. They still relied on the mushroom's spores to identify the map first, and then walked out little by little.

"In terms of strength, Carl's team is stronger. At their speed, they may meet soon. Song Nanting's team, only Nina and Eric can fight a little. If they meet, there is no chance of winning, right?"

"That's not necessarily the case. I think this mushroom is very strong. It has almost covered half of the map with such a good effort."

"But the spores fly too slowly, and you can still see them if you look carefully. If they are discovered, won't it lead the opponent?"

Gu Xingmian and others listened to the various discussions behind them. Although they had confidence in Song Nanting and his team, they still couldn't help but raise their hearts.

At this moment, someone exclaimed, "They found the spores!"

On the screen, the God Card of a member of Carl's team was a vulture. The vulture had extremely strong vision. It circled in the air and soon saw the spores floating in the air.

Carl raised his hand, and the auxiliary card in his hand released a little flame, instantly burning the spore to ash.

"Fate, let your card fly higher and see if you can find their location."

The card master named Fate immediately signaled the vulture, but he didn't expect that Song Nanting and his team also saw everything through the spores that had not been destroyed, so they immediately changed direction and plunged into the dense forest.

In the dense forest, the vulture's vision was blocked and it couldn't find them for a while.

But at this time, the ten minutes were up.

The machine sounded all over the map, and began to broadcast the location of the signal transmitter.

Carl and others immediately found that they were very close to the signal transmitter of Song Nanting's team, and everyone was delighted.

In terms of strength alone, without Xiao Qiong, they were stronger than the opponent, so they were not afraid of facing them head-on. Before, they were worried that Song Nanting and his team would be cunning and hide so that they could not find them, but now there is a signal transmitter reporting the location, which is simply God's help.

Carl immediately ordered: "Speed ​​up and catch them as soon as possible!"

Everyone sped up immediately.

Although Song Nanting and his team hid in the dense forest, the spores they released before were still there. With the help of the vultures, the spores along the way completely became guideposts.

Those who had praised Mushroom before were afraid to speak. Who could have thought that Mushroom's strong skill would become a fatal point?

Everyone else thought that Carl and his team were lucky, but only Carl himself knew that before the game, he had studied the video of the school selection many times. He knew that they were used to releasing spores at the beginning, not only to build a map, but also to find opponents.

Spores are very small and difficult to see under normal circumstances, but for vultures with enhanced vision, it is easy.

Although Song Nanting reacted quickly and did not release spores afterwards, this short distance was enough for Carl and his team's speed.

Soon, the vulture spotted the figure in the dense forest with its sharp eyes.

Carl was overjoyed.

All the card masters and God Cards were ready for battle.

Carl held the auxiliary card and was about to use it when the sound of the machine reporting the position came from above his head.

But everyone was stunned after hearing it.

Because the position reported by the machine was not in front, but in the exact opposite position from them.

At this time, they finally saw the true face of the figure.

It turned out to be Fred, and he was the only one.

Fred stopped running and opened his signal package to them, which was empty.

Carl understood immediately and gritted his teeth and said, "He gave the signal device to someone else. These spores are deliberately leading us here!"

He thought he had grasped the opponent's weakness, but he was tricked by the opponent!

After realizing this, someone immediately couldn't hold back and rushed up to teach Fred a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Fred had no intention of fighting them at all. He quickly jumped onto the flying squirrel's back and even threw out a few wind blades to speed up. He disappeared in a flash.

The man wanted to chase him again, but was stopped by Carl.

"You all know how fast Fred can escape. And we are in a dense forest that is suitable for flying squirrels. If he is determined to escape, who can catch him? He will just let us go."

Carl emphasized calmly, "Don't forget, our target is the signal transmitter."

They chased in the new direction. This time, when the signal transmitter reported the location after ten minutes, they still did not find the main force of the opponent. They only saw Nina.

Seeing them chasing, Nina also jumped onto the back of the spider Molly, and jumped directly from the cliff with the help of the long spider silk.

Everyone was helpless and stared in anger.

Carl suddenly said, "I have roughly guessed their plan."

Everyone was stunned and looked at him.

"They won the first game, so they will win this game if they can maintain a draw. They are not as strong as us, so they are thinking about how to dodge these three hours and hide until the end, but because of the signal device, they can't hide forever."

Carl smiled faintly, "I guess they will put the signal device on one person, and after the report, they will assign one person to hold us back, and let the person with the signal device escape from another direction."

"But in this case, won't there be only one person left in the end?" Someone couldn't help asking, "In the end, no one can hold us back, then it won't be easy for us to catch him?"

Carl shook his head: "No, because they will converge soon."

"They don't have a communicator, how can they converge on such a large map?"

Carl: "It's spores."

"They keep releasing spores, not to find us, but to find their teammates!"

Gu Xingmian stood up from his chair.

Because that was how Song Nanting arranged it when the game just started!

The people watching the game were suddenly excited.

"Carl is amazing! He actually guessed Song Nanting's plan completely!"

"What's the use of guessing? There is no solution!"

Carl's teammates also asked him this.

Carl smiled confidently: "Since they want to escape, they will definitely choose to run in the direction farthest from us, otherwise their distance cannot support this method. We chase them according to the reports of their signal devices, so why don't they adjust the direction of escape according to our reports?"

"And the team with the signal device will not exceed three people, and Song Nanting is not good at fighting. Even if we split into two teams, we can deal with them." Carl paused and continued, "Fate and I are in one team, and you come with Song Sitian's team. Put all the signal devices with you three, and Fate and I will go to catch people. I will leave a mark for you, and you just follow the mark to catch up."

Then, as Carl expected, the direction reported by Song Nanting's signal device was indeed opposite to theirs.

After confirming his guess, Carl suppressed his excitement and waited until the spores were almost consumed before he and Fate went in the opposite direction to surround Song Nanting and his team.

Sure enough, they soon found a white figure running away in the jungle.

Why is there only one person?

Carl suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

But at the same time, the sound of reporting came from above again, indicating that it was right in front of them.

Before Carl could figure it out, Fate rushed forward with the vulture like a chicken with blood injected.

Soon, the opponent was intercepted by them.

It was Song Nanting!

Thinking that the other party had played with them throughout the whole game, and now they had not caught them yet, Fate let out a sigh of resentment and said in a sinister tone: "Why don't you run away?"

Song Nanting smiled kindly and gently: "I never wanted to escape from the beginning!"

Fate was stunned, and the ominous premonition in Carl's heart became heavier: "What do you mean?!"

At this moment, they heard a cold machine voice from above their heads: "Team Carl, all signal devices are destroyed."

Carl understood everything at once. His face turned pale, as if struck by lightning, and he rushed towards Song Nanting: "Quick! Hurry and grab her signal package!"

But it was too late. Song Nanting had already opened the signal package, took out the only signal device inside, and threw it hard behind them in their shocked eyes.

Carl rushed over frantically, trying to catch the signal, but he was too far away, so he could only watch the light on the signal go out.

The next moment, the familiar machine voice sounded again: "Team Song Nanting, all signal devices are damaged."

"The game is over, both sides are tied."
