Chapter 75 Chapter 75 "Go"
After a brief silence, there was an irrepressible excitement.
Ma Chengying let out a long sigh, and looked at Jiang Qing with a look that said, "I was right about you."
On the other side, Huo Junshan and Yue Zeng were chasing closely along the weak spatial fluctuations.
The two men stopped almost at the same time, their faces livid.
"I've been fooled again!" Yue Zhe punched the ice wall next to him, creating a shallow pit and sending ice chips flying everywhere.
Huo Junshan's eyes were sinister as he quickly recalled every detail. "She deliberately threw the ice core into the crevice, using the extreme cold to instantly freeze it and mark it in space... What a plan! She tricked us all into thinking she'd abandoned the ice core in a panic!"
In this way, not only did they fail to grab the ice core, but they also helped the Fifth Academy buy time for teleportation and evacuation, and they were fooled like fools for a long time.
"Chase!" Huo Junshan squeezed out a word through his teeth, "They can't get far! Teleportation consumes a huge amount of energy in this environment, and the traces are more obvious!"
Yue Zhe also led the people from the Fourth Academy to speed up again.
.......
After confirming the surroundings were safe, Jiang Qing tossed the ice core to Renata under everyone's gaze. "This thing is too conspicuous. If you hold it in your hand, you'll be a sitting duck."
Renata took the ice core and felt the coldness in her hand. She quickly placed it in a special isolation box, and the broadcasting sound did not sound again.
"Once the ice core is collected and isolated, it won't attract competition. However, it's always easy for people to steal it if you carry it with you." Renata pondered in a deep voice, trying to figure out where to put the ice core safely.
"Leave here first," Ma Chengying warned. "The people from the Second and Fourth Colleges will react quickly and will definitely track us down along the spatial fluctuations."
"Move!" Renata ordered decisively, "Move towards Outpost 3. There will be a school team there to meet us."
The team moved quickly, marching across the ice field against the wind and snow.
"It's so cold." Ma Chengying shuddered and ordered the Sky-Splitting Eagle to spread its wings and wrap itself around him.
Sky-Splitting Eagle: “…”
Not long after, the Qingbao Spirit Snake in Huoqiu Mountain sensed faint fluctuations of source power and angry curses coming from behind. It was obvious that Huo Junshan and Yue Zhe were chasing them with their men, but the wind, snow and distance had effectively concealed their whereabouts.
"Speed up!" Renata urged.
With Zhu Tianba's advance warning and terrain perception, the Fifth Academy team can always find a relatively safe path. Occasionally, they encounter sporadic icefield spirit beasts, but they are quickly dealt with or avoided.
An hour later, the team successfully arrived at Glacier Outpost No. 3.
This is a small stronghold built on a natural ice cave with a narrow entrance, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The school team members had already received the message and were here to meet up, quickly activating the basic defense functions of the outpost.
A layer of weak energy light film covered the cave entrance. Although its defensive power was limited, it could provide early warning and hinder vision and perception to a certain extent.
"Count the number of people, check the injuries, and take turns to rest and be on guard." Renata arranged everything before taking out the isolation box.
Everyone gathered around.
"Ice Core bonuses come in several forms. One is a one-time point injection like we're doing. Another is a temporary point acquisition rate boost. There's also a small chance of a special effect, like briefly enhancing a pet's ice resistance or abilities." Huo Qiushan shared the information he'd received before the match. "Except for the first, the effects of the last two are similar to those gained from killing exotic beasts."
"A one-time point injection is the safest, but the returns are fixed. Increasing the point rate will bring greater returns in the later stages of the game, but the risks are also high and it is easy to become a target of public criticism. Special effects depend on luck," Huoqiushan analyzed.
"Where are we ranked in points now?" Jiang Qing asked.
Ma Chengying counted on his fingers, "Based on the total number of beams lit up on the field, not counting this ice core, we should currently be ranked fourth in points. The First Academy is still in the lead, and the Third Academy is also developing steadily. The Second Academy has overtaken us and is currently in third place, but the gap between us and them is very small. The Fourth Academy is at the bottom."
"No wonder Yue Zheng looks like..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Qing suddenly saw something flash outside the cave out of the corner of his eye.
Without saying a word, the innate skill on his wrist lit up, and the golden light shield expanded to cover the entire area.
Instantly, intensive attacks came from outside the cave, and the translucent light film flickered violently, flickering unsteadily.
Renata couldn't see the golden shield, but she could see the exploding sparks disappear less than a centimeter away from her eyes.
"Prepare for battle," Renata responded immediately. "Team members, rely on the terrain for defense! The main force will follow me to meet the enemy."
The entrance to the No. 3 outpost is narrow, easy to defend but difficult to attack, so the numerical advantage of the Second and Fourth Colleges is difficult to deploy for the time being.
"Side, ice wall." Huoqiushan turned his head suddenly and saw that the thick ice wall on the side had been quietly melted through with several holes, and several dark blue ice spikes and ochre-colored shock waves with a wild atmosphere burst out from it.
The direction of the shot was not towards the main team, but towards two members of the healing school team and their pets who were protected in the center and were urgently treating the wounded.
The combat capabilities of healing beastmasters are generally weak, and their spirit pets are mostly auxiliary healing types, so they have no time to react at this moment.
Renata's Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes tried to return to defense, but was entangled by Huo Junshan's ice-type spirit pet in front.
Ma Chengying gave a look and the Wind-Splitting Eagle spread its wings and dived down to block the attack, but its wings were cut by the ice spikes, leaving huge gashes.
Even when Sun Yi's Wind Howling Dog created a whirlwind to try to deflect the attack, it had little effect.
Puff, puff.
Ice points fell one after another.
I don’t know what promise Huo Junshan made to Yue Zhe, but the cooperation between the two academies is obviously more handy.
Accompanied by a few muffled sounds and short screams, the amulets on the two healing team members and their healing pets instantly lit up with dazzling white light.
That is the sign that the endangered transmission has been activated.
With a flash of light, the man and the spirit pet instantly disappeared from their original position, and were forcibly teleported out by the rules of the competition.
[The Fifth Beast Taming Academy eliminated two members.]
[The Fifth Beast Taming Academy eliminated two members.]
[The Fifth Beast Taming Academy eliminated two members.]
The broadcast sounded coldly, like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of all the members of the Fifth Academy.
There were only 10 healers in their team, and all of them were members of the school team. Six of them were killed in this one blow, which meant that all the healers at outpost No. 3 were killed.
The atmosphere in the cave instantly dropped to freezing point.
Losing treatment means that every injury in the next minute will not be treated in time, and the ability to continue fighting will be greatly reduced.
Renata narrowed her eyes and looked at the two people outside dangerously.
In her eyes, these two people have already been eliminated.
Huo Junshan's voice, unaware of what was happening, but still filled with satisfaction, came from outside the cave: "Renata, how was it? Did you enjoy playing tricks on us just now? Now let's see how long you can hold out!"
"Without treatment, I wonder how you, a bunch of defeated soldiers, can fight us." Yue Zhe's disgusting tone came in from the cave entrance along with the cold wind.
The roar of the spirit beast was full of fighting spirit.
Renata made a quick decision, her eyes determined: "Cheng Ying, Huo Qiushan, prepare your strongest attack to clear the way. Sun Yi, disrupt the flanks."
She finally looked at Jiang Qing with a heavy tone. Without treatment, Jiang Qing, the new main force, and Zhu Tianba, whose condition was unknown, would be in greater danger.
However, before she finished her words, Jiang Qing took a deep breath and his eyes became extremely focused.
She quickly moved to the side of a school team member whose arm was scratched by the ice spikes that were splashed during the sneak attack.
The wound on the school team member's arm was not deep, but it quickly turned purple due to the low temperature and the bleeding continued, and it was obviously affected by the cold poison.
"Don't move." Jiang Qing whispered, and without waiting for the other party to react, she pressed her hands on the wound.
The treatment is gone, but the things they left behind remain.
Although Jiang Qing treats animals, he also has some understanding of the basic human physiological structure.
She was skilled in treating frostbite. She tied the person up in two strokes, whispered some treatment instructions, and then moved on to the next person who was infected by the cold poison.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, the purple wound stopped bleeding at a speed visible to the naked eye, its color quickly returned to normal, and the cold poison was dispelled.
Although it is not as effective as a professional healing pet, it is indeed a healing skill.
And the effect is pretty good.
In just two or three seconds, only a shallow red mark remained on the wound.
"You...!" The school team member widened his eyes, looked at his arm in disbelief, and then looked at Jiang Qing.
"Don't thank me. Save your gratitude to the world and technology." Jiang Qing said without raising his head.
In her world, even if she were a professional doctor, it would be impossible for her to heal the wound in a short time.
The team members in the cave who had little relationship with Jiang Qing were all stunned when they saw this scene, and their attacks paused for a moment.
Jiang Qing... seems to be a combat type, right?
There are also a few people who are not surprised.
Especially at school, you can occasionally see her attending classes in the therapy department.
Jiang Qing didn't have time to explain.
"Tianba, use your water ability to wrap up their injured areas." Jiang Qing said to Zhu Tianba who came to her side.
Water has a natural affinity. [Plant and Beast] from the Green Leaf Forum is a powerful healing beastmaster, and she taught me all of this.
At the same time, Huo Junshan and Yue Zhe, who noticed the abnormality in the cave, paused their attacks and looked at each other.
High-level beastmasters naturally have a strong sense of the movements around them.
Just like now, Yue Zhe felt a gust of cold wind coming towards his face, and he reflexively turned sideways and took a half step back.
A bottle of poison filled with thick ink, which was obviously poisonous at first glance, hit the ice surface where he had just stood with a "chua" sound, spreading out in a circular shape, and melted a poisonous well with a diameter of one meter on the ice and snow.
The team became alert and everyone immediately jumped away from the poisonous well.
"You still want to sneak attack me with this level?!" Yue Zhe curled his lips and chuckled disdainfully, before he could take his eyes off the poison well.
The next moment, he perked up, and waves of coldness emanated from his body. Fear spread in his eyes. It felt like his soul was being held in someone's hands.
Yue Zhe swallowed his saliva. There was only one person in the week who could give him this feeling.
The mother of all snakes - Kong, also known as Renata.
In the empty space, fear would be infinitely magnified. Yue Zhe's body was shaking. He tried to summon his spirit pet, but no matter how he shouted in his heart, no sound came out of his throat.
The seal of the contract in his hand was even more intermittent, as if the signal was bad.
At this moment, Yue Zhe felt that someone was examining her, observing her, and even snorted in disdain.
People outside didn’t know what happened. They only saw Yue Zhe standing there in a daze, motionless.
Huo Junshan said to himself, "It's really unreliable," and then led his own team to prepare for an attack.
Just as they took two steps forward, they felt a vibration under their feet and the ice suddenly cracked. Huo Junshan and others wanted to hide to the left, but they were met by Huo Junshan and Sun Yi who were coming towards them.
"What are you doing?" Huo Junshan said to Huo Qiushan unhappily.
Huo Junshan didn't say anything. Instead, Sun Yi grinned and made an OK gesture to the air.
Confused, Huo Junshan took a half step back, trying to avoid the weird duo.
As a result, he felt his feet were empty. He looked down and found that a teleportation black hole had suddenly appeared at his feet.
The range of the black hole spread to the entire team of the Second Academy, and due to the team's concentration just now, no one was left out.
He stumbled and the black hole shrank instantly.
Everyone was packed up and thrown out by the black hole, onto an unknown ice field three kilometers away.
They all fell to the ground and rolled around before finally coming to a stop.
The people from the Fourth Academy wanted to move forward, but were stopped by the four main teams from the Fifth Academy and the entire school team from Post No. 3.
That aggressive look was completely different from before.
At this time, Yue Zheng also woke up from the state of [Fear Gaze], his sight gradually returned to normal, and he prepared to attack directly without thinking.
But suddenly I noticed that half of the people around me were gone.
What's going on?
"Where is Huo Junshan?" he turned around and asked his teammates.
The teammates looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew that it was the Fifth Academy that took the person away, but they could not open their mouths to explain under the collective stares of the people opposite them.
Damn it!
Could it be that Renata's [Fear Gaze] has evolved to the point where it can be used for group gaze without them knowing?
"Of course I left you behind again."
A voice sounded from the opposite camp.
Jiang Qing walked out of the sentry post calmly and stood in the C position in front of the four main team members.
Before Yue Zhe could react, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers: "Go."
Just like the people from the Second Academy, everyone from the Fourth Academy was transported, packed up, and thrown out, appearing somewhere unknown.
Jiang Qing clapped his hands and high-fived Zhu Tianba.
Renata seemed to be meeting Jiang Qing for the first time, when she was just a junior beastmaster.
In less than a year, the progress has been so rapid.
It turns out that hard work is worthless in the face of absolute talent.
"Sora, come back." Renata called out to the air.
Jiang Qing only felt a tremor that hit her scalp and swept through her whole body. That was the reaction brought to her by the snake.
But there were no snakes to be seen around, not even the Qingbao Spirit Snake from Huoqiu Mountain.
"Jiang Qing...it seems like there is a snake on your body." Zhu Tianba said quietly.
Jiang Qing was so frightened that she jumped three meters high. She turned her head slowly and looked at Zhu Tianba with a stiff look in her eyes: "Where is he?"
Zhu Tianba shrank his body, moved to her shoulder, and grabbed the snake, and the little white snake instantly revealed its true form.
"Here." Zhu Tianba threw it on the ground.
The white snake turned into a point of light and dissipated around the moment it landed on the ground.
At the same time, Renata frowned slightly.
With the absolute level advantage, Zhu Tianba was actually able to see the snake shadows in the air.
Renata withdrew her gaze without saying a word and methodically devoted herself to the post-war cleanup work.
"All the healers are out. We should have squeezed some compensation out of them back then," Ma Chengying sighed. "Send two healers from Outpost 7," Ma Chengying said resignedly.
Before she could finish, Meng Yanlang and Zhao Peng ran over with treatment.
