The group was moving when suddenly they heard shouts from ahead telling them to run away quickly.
Zhao Liang released his mental energy and saw the mutated wolf pack chasing after the contestant.
There were over 500 mutated wolves, and nobody knew where they came from.
Most importantly, they actually possess supernatural abilities; some of them spit fireballs, while others spit wind blades.
They run so fast that the competitors don't even have time to fight and can only run away first.
Some contestants were even bitten by wolves and were forced to withdraw from the competition in order to survive.
The food that was about to be eaten suddenly disappeared, and the mutated wolves were stunned for a moment before becoming even more ferocious.
"There's a pack of mutated wolves! Everyone, get up in the trees!"
Zhao Liang quickly told everyone what he had seen, urging them to hurry up and climb the tree.
Although mutated wolf packs can use their abilities to attack prey that has climbed a tree, climbing a tree is undoubtedly the safest option for those with superpowers.
Jun Nanxuan and Ye Ziming immediately pulled Fang Xiyue towards the nearest tree.
"Yueyue, you go up first."
Jun Nanxuan used his wind-based superpower to send Fang Xiyue up to the tree before he went up himself, and finally Ye Zimo followed.
Chu Xingyan and Song Yifan climbed another tree. Since a single tree has a limited weight-bearing capacity, no one dared to climb the same tree, as there was no room even if they could.
Those who can climb trees can get up in just a few steps, but those who can't climb trees can only rely on others to pull them up from above.
Li Qiu was pulled up by Chu Lin and Zhang Hang.
Mu Yunfan climbed the tree a little late because he looked at Fang Xiyue immediately upon hearing the news, preparing to go over there.
He then saw that Jun Nanxuan and Ye Ziming had already taken her away, so he headed towards the nearest tree that was still empty.
The wolf howls were getting closer, and the survivors had already arrived. Although Mu Yunfan was a step slower, he managed to climb the tree safely.
The runners who came over also started climbing the tree. There were already people in the tree, so they couldn't get up and could only hold onto the trunk and stop in the middle of the tree.
Now it all comes down to who has more perseverance; once they let go, they'll be sent straight into the wolf's mouth.
So they decided that if they couldn't take it anymore, they would withdraw from the competition; it was better than being eaten by wolves.
The wolf pack surged in like a tide; they were enormous, with sharp fangs, and their eyes were filled with a hunger for food.
When they arrived, Fang Xiyue and her group had the upper hand, and they began to unleash their special abilities to fight the mutated wolves.
Because of their intervention, the runners who were still running below had a chance to catch their breath, and they quickly climbed the nearest tree.
The mutated wolves are mostly at level two, and with the added power of their special abilities, they can attack the players in the trees even from below.
Fang Xiyue unleashed her Ice Soul Sword, aiming it at the wolves' heads. However, the mutated wolves were quick, using their sharp claws to defend against the sword's attack.
The mutated wolf pack has undergone mutation, and its claws and other features are much sharper than before, and even its hide is much thicker.
So, for a moment, everyone was a bit unsure where to attack to kill the mutated wolf.
Fang Xiyue firmly believed that every powerful being has a weakness, so she surrounded a wolf with her Ice Soul Sword and began stabbing it everywhere.
She finally discovered her weakness: not her stomach, not her eyes, but her buttocks.
She had noticed before that the wolves' tails always hung down, so it wasn't a habit, but rather that they were protecting their weaknesses.
"Brother Liang, tell everyone to attack the wolf's rear end!"
Fang Xiyue couldn't use her mental power, so she had to ask Zhao Liang to help convey the message.
Upon receiving the news, everyone began to focus their attacks on the mutated wolves' rear ends, causing the previously well-organized mutated wolf pack to descend into chaos.
The wolf king's howl no longer obeyed them; after all, they were about to lose their lives.
Finally, the wolf king stopped fighting and announced a retreat, saying, "A gentleman takes his revenge; see you tonight!"
After the wolves dispersed and it was confirmed that it was safe, everyone climbed down from the tree and began to gather.
Each team's healing ability user began treating the injuries of their team members, and it was at this point that everyone determined who had withdrawn from the competition.
After all, the situation was extremely dangerous just now, and everyone was too busy taking care of themselves to know exactly who had withdrawn from the competition.
At 9 o'clock, when the team set off again, only 9 teams remained out of the original 15.
Fang Xiyue's team consists of 4 teams, Gong Yunxiao's team consists of 4 teams, and there is an alliance between Xingcheng Team and Jingcheng Team.
Then Xingcheng Team and Jingcheng Team became the targets of Fang Xiyue and Gong Yunxiao's encirclement.
They started throwing punches and kicks, lunging and pulling at each other, and began fighting.
Because they couldn't use their special abilities, the 20-person team lost to the 80-person team in a short time.
The contestants from Xingcheng and Jingcheng were cursing and swearing. They had finally made it this far, only to leave in such a frustrating manner.
The audience members from Xingcheng and Jingcheng outside the stadium couldn't help but swear, feeling that this was bullying.
But that's just how competitions are; can things stay harmonious until the very end?
Everyone initially thought that the Star City team was the most likely to win the championship, but it ended here.
They can only hope that the Star City team from the other group can win the championship, after all, that group's strength should not be underestimated.
Once the players from Xingcheng Team and Jingcheng Team disappeared, Fang Xiyue and her group became adversaries to Gong Yunxiao and his group, with neither side trusting the other.
Finally, they continued their journey at a considerable distance. Gong Yunxiao and his group were heading to Supply Point No. 3, so they completely parted ways at the fork in the road.
"Gong Yunxiao walked behind us, and I always felt like I was being pricked by needles. Finally, she left."
Song Yifan glanced at the departing group at the fork in the road.
"Haha, it seems he gives you a very sinister impression."
Gao Qi couldn't stop laughing. Actually, he felt the same way, but he hadn't dared to say it before.
"Let's try to keep moving as much as possible today. I think they'll start targeting us once they get the third supply."
Ye Zimo also withdrew his gaze from that direction. If they could walk faster, it would be fine if the other side couldn't catch up. But if they did, a battle would be inevitable.
With the score tied at 40-40, their chances of winning are still very high, but it will take up a lot of time.
Since both groups are competing at the same time, if they waste time, the other group's athletes might reach the finish line first.
Everyone nodded in agreement. They decided to avoid fighting if possible, otherwise they might not have the strength to fight mutated plants and animals.
Finally, at 11 o'clock, they arrived at the next landmark. The map showed an intact bridge, but what they saw in front of them was a broken bridge.
After crossing this bridge, there are only 40 kilometers left, so they must hurry. If they waste time here, Gong Yunxiao and his group will catch up with them.
If they hadn't fought the mutated wolf pack before, Jun Nanxuan could have used his wind-based abilities to transport 10 people there.
But he can't do it now; his powers have been used up too much, and he can only send one person over at most.
But it was no use for one person to go there. The group started looking around for anything that could be used without using their powers, but there was nothing there except the bridge pillars on both sides.
