Groundhog

As the son of the Garcia family and the younger brother of the candidate for the next Speaker of Parliament, Eamon has a lot of face.

He was born in this bloodline academy, and there was another reason that he couldn't make public: unlike his brother, Amon was not very talented. Even if he wanted to attack the principal, he would be subdued in the first place. Therefore, the meeting process was very smooth.

The principal's office is located on the top floor of a separate teaching building. It is spacious and bright, with luxurious and elegant decoration, showing elegance and taste.

"I didn't expect you to come to see me. What's the matter, Mr. Eamon?"

The principal met him alone behind a large desk. In front of the powerful, the usually arrogant noble behaved docilely and respectfully presented the gift.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Mr. Principal. This is a little gift from my brother."

"Please thank your brother for his kindness on my behalf."

The principal gladly accepted the gift from the future president of the parliament. He tried it on in person and found that it was indeed effective. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Being able to absorb pollution is expensive, he asked, "What is the cost of this pollution?"

Eamon has tried this before: "The longer you wear it, the more you want to get closer to places with high pollution levels."

This was not a big problem for the principal. He gladly accepted it: "I can't control what happens during the trial, but if the team with Mr. Aibo comes out, I will take good care of them."

Amon said respectfully: "Then I'll leave it to you. Besides, I have one more thing to ask of you."

The principal, in a good mood, smiled and said, "As long as it's not something against the rules, I will do my best to help you."

A glimmer of joy flashed in Amon's eyes: "Then I'll trouble you. This is my personal request, which is..."

.......

In a corner of the trial ground, the Western families are resting.

"The Luo Alliance has gone too far recently, causing dissatisfaction among many families. Should we intervene?"

The lack of water had no effect on the Western families. Both the Siren and the Infinite Sky alien families were good at controlling water flow. The Siren family had always been on good terms with the Luo family, so they did not follow them this time.

The remaining four western families walked together, and those of the Infinite Sky Family's bloodline could not help but feel jealous when they saw the others attacking the Luo Alliance.

The other three families thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but we need to let those small families explore the way for us first, and we also need to be careful that the Garcia Alliance might steal our achievements."

Although they had dealt with various families as hosts in the West, there were no permanent friends in the Trial.

Profits are always the center of family activities.

......

At the same time.

All parties were planning intensively, and no one noticed that a member of the bloodline had left the team.

Sevich followed closely behind Abbott, the ground beneath his feet soft and soft. Mechanical light bugs led the way, illuminating the narrow underground space.

There was a faint fishy smell in the air. Walking inside, one could see green pods containing many curled-up figures.

There were a lot of green fibers on the ground, and going deeper would be dangerous. The two stopped. Sevich frowned, and it was hard to imagine that there was such a place underground.

"How did you find this place? Why didn't you report it to the Speaker of the Parliament immediately?"

"I was just suspicious before, but I discovered something unusual after entering here. It's too late to inform the chairman of the council now. These monsters haven't been born yet. I know you brought a lot of weapons from the Mechanical City. If we can solve this problem, your family may be able to move up from second place."

Sevich unconsciously connected his consciousness network with the other party. The mental network of the brain worm will not lie, and the emotions transmitted from the other side prove that the other party is sincere.

But for some reason, he still felt a little uneasy.

The smile on Ai Bo's face faded slightly. He stared at the darkness in front of him. His voice was a little vague and distant.

"The academy has the principal here, and there are also protective devices made jointly by the church and the Mechanical City. As long as we deal with these monsters, even if there are some omissions, it won't be a big problem."

Sevich looked at him deeply and took out a metal cube from his arms. Whether the other party was telling the truth or a lie, he could not turn a blind eye. If these monsters escaped and entered the academy, the consequences would be devastating.

"I hope what you say is true."

He threw the metal cube forward, and the small cube flew up in the wind, emitting a blue fluorescent light from the gap. It opened from the inside, revealing a dense mass of ammunition, guns, and incendiary bullets inside.

The compressed blocks that can be loaded with a large number of weapons are extremely expensive and rare strategic materials. If it weren't for the special identity of the brain worm and its poor physical fitness, it would be difficult for him to obtain such items.

Blue fluorescence flowed along the gap. Sevich took a last look at the cube and threw it into the pile of monsters.

......

The Luo Alliance was unaware of the storm that was about to hit them.

They occupied the only remaining water source, and anyone who came to fetch water could not escape tracking. On the second day, the Siren family took the initiative to find them.

The sirens living in the sea are excellent at controlling water. They beat the river water into a light mist that covers the mountain top. Anyone passing by can immediately realize that there is a water source here.

For people who lack water, this temptation is not small. With their help, Luo Lianmeng's points reached a new high.

The more points they collected, the fewer families remained. Gradually, fewer families came to challenge them. While feeling regretful, Oreius knew another thing: this was not the end, but the beginning of a war.

"We have accumulated a lot of points now. As long as we are eaten up, the other families can easily recover from their disadvantages. Now those brainless families have been eliminated, and the rest are just entrants."

The red-haired young man squatted on the ground and drew many small circles with a branch.

"These are small families. Although they are not as good as us as a whole, as long as they can get some food from the corners, it will be enough for them to make up for all the losses during this period. Therefore, they will definitely not miss this opportunity."

He drew two more large circles.

"This is the Garcia Alliance, we need to be wary of them. Aibo is strong and cunning, and Brainworm is the best commander. They are likely to take action at the last minute."

After saying that, the red-haired young man pointed to the last circle.

"This is the Western family. They are the strongest in terms of combat power. They will definitely not miss this good opportunity."

The Siren Bloodline nodded slightly: "We can leave the Infinite Sky to us, and the other three families will depend on you."

Shirleya discussed with the descendants of the Owen family for a while: "We can control the two families."

The Hart family is good at control, and the Irving family is good at attacking. They are not afraid when they unite.

Dan and Shaken shrugged. "We can handle two of them."

The Luo family had the fewest people, but they attacked with one force and the other sneaked in, and their moves were all intended to kill. On the basis of not fighting to the death, the fewest people were willing to fight with the two of them.

After all the bloodline members present had been selected, Oreius dropped the branch in his hand and stood up, speaking in a casual and relaxed tone.

"If Aibo doesn't come, I'll take care of the rest."

"As expected of you... As expected of you, Oreius!"

"Then I'll leave the rest of the family in your care."

Shaken and Dan had no doubt about this statement, and they almost started clapping when they heard this. Except for Shelia and the other two, the others had never seen Oreius's skills with their own eyes, and their expressions were subtle, and they were hesitant to speak.

No, we are facing the masses next, can you guys take it seriously?

But looking at the red-haired young man's confident expression, they finally chose to believe each other.

After all, no one can beat Aurelius, so who else can I trust if not him?

The group discussed and decided to take turns to keep watch tonight. This trial was short, and they were stationed on the mountain, so the enemy's best attack time was late at night.

The hazy moonlight penetrated the meat-like clouds and enveloped the ground. The mountain was misty and a bonfire was lit. After a delicious barbecue, everyone on the mountain began to rest.

Smelling the tempting aroma of barbecue coming with the wind, the bloodline members who had been waiting for a long time felt secretly resentful.

These people are so abominable. Not only did they block the water supply, but they also ate so deliciously in front of them! I am so angry!

The temporary alliance, united in hatred of the enemy, quietly advanced from the bottom of the mountain. Except for a few people, no one noticed that the mist was controlled by others.

The night-watching siren opened her eyes, lifted her wavy hair, and her voice was as beautiful as a ballad.

"They are coming."

The bloodline people who were also resting with their eyes closed woke up after hearing this, with joy on their faces, and each of them was ready.

"There is no time to waste. Let's take the initiative and give them a surprise."

The mist obscured their tracks, and the first group of bloodline followers who came up were lured away from their positions unknowingly.

Fortunately, the Infinite Sky Bloodline immediately recognized who used this method. They snorted coldly and took action to disperse the mist, providing protection for the follow-up troops.

During this time, as previously planned, the bloodline members of the Luo Alliance had quickly found their opponents.

The Siren and the Expanse are mortal enemies. After the two sides looked at each other, they immediately started a fierce fight using water mist as a carrier.

Dan and his team dealt with the three major families in the east and the remaining two families in the Garcia Alliance. A huge fight broke out. Fire flew, ice fell, swords and guns clashed. For a while, it was extremely lively.

Oleus took a quick look and confirmed that they could handle it, then he took the initiative to meet the others. Even though a group of them had been taken away on the first day, the number of bloodline people left was still not to be underestimated.

There was only one person standing in their way.

The red-haired young man picked up a piece of grass and put it in his mouth, warning in a serious tone.

"The people over there are busy, don't disturb them."

The moonlight shone into the dark golden eyes, emitting a frightening cold light.

The attackers hesitated a little after recognizing him, but they regained their composure when they realized that there was only one person on the other side.

"Don't be afraid, they are few in number, and we can kill them even if we pile them up!"

"His dragons and dragonborn aren't here, it's okay!"

I don't know who shouted first, but the bloodline warriors who had been somewhat withdrawn calmed down again. Oleus sighed, stood up and drew out his long sword.

He did not bring his dragon with him for this trial, otherwise the dragon clan team would have followed, but it would be inconvenient with too many people.

"Numbers can indeed solve some problems, but unfortunately you are not enough to trouble me. If you want me to find it difficult, you must at least have a number like the Queen Worm Territory."

The will-o'-the-wisp flame burned faintly, flashing a cold light in the darkness.

The blade slid through the air in a beautiful arc, hitting each target with a force that would not kill anyone. The red hair swayed with the movement, and the young man wandered through different bloodline abilities, like a dragon playing in the water, and people fell wherever he went. He looked a little bored.

Aurelius did not boast.

In the first trial, he went to the Kingdom of God to face off against the Mother of Ten Thousand Stones; in the third trial, he went into the base of the Black Mist followers, killed all the monsters on the border, and faced the Woman in the Flowers. Now, facing these young bloodlines again, he felt like he had nowhere to go.

The only person who deserves his attention is Ai Bo, but unfortunately he is not among this group of people.

The red-haired young man took a quick look and found that not only Aibo but also Sevitch was not here. Only the two families who followed them were there.

What about Abbot and the Sevichi?

He narrowed his eyes slightly, grabbed a member of the Garcia Alliance and asked, "Where are Ai Bo and the other two?"

The other party was about to put on an attitude of refusing to surrender even at the cost of his life, but the person in front of him raised his lips, and his voice slid slowly and gently across his eardrum.

"If you don't tell me within three seconds, I'll kill you. No one will notice if someone dies here."

The unfortunate boy immediately rebelled: "I don't know. He and Sevich asked us to come and went somewhere else."

Aurelius tutted and knocked him unconscious without mercy. The fight continued, and just when it was at its most intense, the whole mountain suddenly began to shake continuously.

The Bloodline subconsciously stopped fighting and became alert to the surroundings. Suddenly, a figure popped out from the ground in the distance, as if avoiding something.

He passed the top of the mountain at a very fast speed, and suddenly stopped when he saw Aurelius and others. Only then did everyone see clearly that he was holding a person in his arms.

Aibo held the unconscious Sevich in his arms and warned him hastily, "Run! There's something down there!"

Before anyone could react, the ground shook violently, and creatures began to crawl out from underground.

They have soft, fluffy brown fur, big round heads and sharp incisors, and look quite cute.

When they saw them, the bloodline members were stunned and looked at each other.

Where did the marmot come from in these mountains?

The woodchucks shook their whiskers and sniffed the air. A single woodchuck is indeed cute, but when they are densely packed all over the mountains, they give people an inexplicable sense of horror.

The red-haired young man instinctively felt that something was wrong. As far as he knew, although woodchucks had poor vision, their hearing, smell, and touch were very sharp. He didn't know what the woodchucks in this world had become, but even a woodchuck could kill an elephant with one bite.

As if they had confirmed their target point, the woodchucks burrowed back into the ground. Soft, excavated soil traces quickly appeared on the ground, most of which went down the mountain, and the rest flowed toward where they were.

The animals in the mountains fled in all directions, and some of them ran into the path of the woodchucks in such a panic that they had no choice but to run.

A furry woodchuck popped out of its head, and its mouth suddenly opened, extending to the height of a person, swallowing the prey whole. One of the small animal's hind legs was exposed, and the woodchuck tilted its head, staring at the human on the hill with its black eyes, and swallowed the hind leg with a slurp.

Cruel, bloody, fast, forming a huge contrast.

The bloodline members suddenly felt their scalps tingling. How should they play this game?

Individual monsters are not difficult to deal with, and any of them can be killed easily.

But looking around, there are more than hundreds of these monsters!
