"Oh My God!"
"What an incredible lineup!!"
"Two priests?!"
The surrounding students were all dumbfounded.
They had been listening intently when Honglian introduced him, and when they heard that the new student Jiang Cheng was actually a pastor, it all seemed so unreal!
Having one priest in a five-person team is already quite a luxury, let alone two, wouldn't that be an overabundance of healing?
Xiao He is in a better position, as he doesn't need his teammates' protection, but what about Jiang Cheng?
If it weren't for the fact that Honglian was a tutor in the Fifth Division of the Junior High School, anyone would have thought she was deliberately making things difficult for the other four.
"Sigh, can't we get a different priest for our team...?" the crowd whispered among themselves.
"Waaah————"
The bugle call to battle has officially sounded.
The winter hunt is an annual grand event on the continent of Nuojin, symbolizing the overcoming of difficulties and obstacles and welcoming the new year with the posture of a victor.
Just like the big clean-up in elementary school, where each class is responsible for cleaning a specific area, the area that Cloud Academy is responsible for "cleaning up" is the western plains to the west coastline of the Nuojin Continent.
That was an extremely vast territory.
The higher the grade level of the team, the farther the journey they need to take.
However, the first obstacle blocking the main force was the Longwei Mountain Range, which connects the west of the city with the Hengduan Mountains.
Longwei Mountain, as its name suggests, resembles the tail of a giant dragon.
The mountain road is rugged with many bends, and one wrong step could send you tumbling down a cliff.
Xiao He finally understood what the academy meant by "energy conservation".
So it turns out the Black is made of wood, making it lightweight and easy to push forward...
As students of the Cloud Academy, everyone must participate in this initiative, and it will be considered one of the important factors in your graduation assessment.
The rules are simple: teams of five compete for points based on the number of "magic cores" they acquire within a set time.
Magic cores come from the hearts of monsters, and the higher the level of the monster, the higher the drop rate.
However, magic cores are actually useless; they are merely remnants left behind from the growth and transformation of monsters, and they will gradually weather away over time. Aside from proving that someone has killed a monster, they have no other value, so such products are not available on the market.
The main group will be accompanied by referees, but they will not interfere too much. Unless there are special circumstances, they will not easily step in; they will simply make a record with their referee's eye.
Only after all the vehicles had left the city did the Dean stand atop the high West Gate and announce the official start of the hunting season.
"Too young!" Horry exclaimed, riding his tall horse.
This isn't "United Brak" at all; it's just upperclassmen showing off their wealth!
Only the junior college students dutifully rented the college's Black; the other intermediate college students practically all had a metal car.
"What do you mean? Are you changing cars?" Huo Lei asked Xiao He.
The latter didn't seem to care: "No need, this low-grip kid is fine too."
Horry looked at Jiang Cheng with a pang of pity: "Hey, classmate, do you want to ride my horse?"
"Huh?" Jiang Cheng was stunned, seemingly not quite understanding what he meant.
“Never mind, I can give you a ride if you’re not feeling well later,” Horry said.
"Oh, okay..." Jiang Cheng replied, still a little confused.
Su Mei bit her lip. With Xiao He by her side, she didn't dare to speak to anyone. Her eyes were filled with grievance.
Honglian's arrangement was truly unexpected.
Su Mei didn't know why she would speak up for her. It must be because Xiao He hadn't mentioned to Hong Lian that she had schemed against them.
So perhaps Honglian helped her out of consideration for her past assistance to Xiao He at Lengquan.
"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse..."
Su Mei gripped the seatbelt with her hands, feeling the chilly wind, and gazed at the high mountain blocking their way.
Xiao He saw that she was relatively honest, so he saved himself the trouble of explaining the three rules.
Jiang Cheng was even more puzzled by the fact that Wang Xuefeng had set up a sniper rifle.
The Black has no roof, and the hood is not streamlined; it looks like a van with its roof off.
Wang Xuefeng has four specially made seat belts around his waist, which allows him to kneel in the center of the back seat as if this position is exclusively his.
If it weren't for the relatively spacious back seat and the fact that both of them were rather slim, Jiang Cheng would have had to get on Hori's horse right now.
"Lower your head a little in a moment."
Upon hearing Wang Xuefeng's words, Jiang Cheng paused for a moment, then replied, "Okay!"
Longwei Mountain has a hairpin bend with 39 consecutive hairpin bends, a total length of eight kilometers, and an average effective road surface width of four meters.
The straight-line distance between the first bend at the foot of the mountain and the thirty-ninth bend at the summit is 880 meters, with a vertical drop of 460 meters.
The curves are all close to 180 degrees, which places extremely high demands on the timing of gear shifts and the entry and exit lines of the curves.
Let alone achieving impressive results, just being able to drive there normally is comparable to the level of a senior driver's license in mainland China.
However, this very dreaded 39 hairpin bends is, in the eyes of some, a perfect natural technical track.
However, very few people dare to take on this challenge at this time.
The dozen or so luxury cars at the front of the line were the "contestants" who had launched the challenge.
The referees don't care whether they're driving fast or slow; the only thing they restrict is flight.
Because the target of the flying object is too obvious, it will give the prey time to react, potentially putting the students at the back of the group in danger.
Those who could ride in luxury cars were considered prominent figures in their respective departments and colleges. Even the dean tacitly agreed that they were "leading the way," and other vehicles consciously kept their distance from them.
There was only one unremarkable Black.
Instead of joining the "Brack car team" at the back of the procession, he leisurely squeezed into the middle of the group of luxury cars.
Jiang Cheng silently lowered his head.
He didn't know what Wang Xuefeng meant by telling him to bow his head, but now he understood it as a way to cover up his embarrassment.
How dare you compare a Blackbuck to luxury cars?!
A car parked next to Su Mei rolled down its window, and the boy inside even whistled.
However, Xiao He kept his eyes straight ahead, as if he couldn't hear him.
"Hey! Beautiful lady!" The boy, not giving up, called out to Xiao He again.
The next second, he seemed to feel a dark gun barrel pointing directly at him. The boy, who had been looking playful, shrank back, raised his hands, and silently retreated.
Xiao He generally ignored such low-level provocations as those of a philanderer.
In his words, it was "too degrading"!
It was this absolutely aloof attitude that earned him the title of "Glacier Campus Beauty" recognized by the entire college in just a few days.
"Are you crazy?! You flirted with that sharpshooter's girlfriend right in front of him! Do you even have a brain?!"
A string of curses came from inside the car.
