"Bang--"
A gunshot rang out, marking the start of the Cloud Hunting Season.
"The fifth team was the first to score one point."
The referee recorded the facts accurately.
Jiang Cheng sat in the car feeling dizzy, as if he had just come to make up the numbers.
Su Mei was in a better position. Xiao He sent her off the carriage to pick up the fallen magic cores, and she and Huo Lei each took charge of one side of the mountain.
This is why strong teams all need to "race".
There is relatively little prey in the suburbs, and the lagging groups basically don't even get a taste of the spoils.
"Holy crap, that guy up ahead is ruthless!"
"Did he contract out this mountain?"
The drivers in the cars behind them all started complaining at the same time.
However, Xiao He was overjoyed.
"Not bad! They cooperated perfectly here too!"
"Hey," Wang Xuefeng smiled confidently, "This is at most a beginner's tutorial level."
"Who exactly are you two...?" Jiang Cheng, who was standing to the side, almost vomited blood upon hearing this.
He could barely see the scenery anymore, and it was hard to imagine how Wang Xuefeng "cooperated" with Xiao He's carriage.
Even if Xiao He were to drive and fire the gun himself, he might not be able to achieve 100% accuracy. Jiang Cheng really wanted to ask if they shared the same brain.
"I am the racing god of Mount Akina." Xiao He released the steering wheel and clasped his hands in a fist salute towards the back of the car.
"I am the God of Guns from the Himalayas." Wang Xuefeng also released the trigger and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Nice to meet you!" they both said at the same time.
"..." Jiang Cheng looked utterly hopeless.
Having endured this long, he has completely lost his will to live, and all the healing spells he casts are on himself.
"We're about to enter the plains," Xiao He reminded them at this moment.
"Hmm." Wang Xuefeng nodded and switched his sniper rifle for an exaggerated vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun.
Because once you cross this last mountain, the area is no longer within the scope of Flying Dragon City's daily cleaning.
Once the vehicle leaves the mountains, it will encounter hordes of wild monsters. This was also a key point mentioned by the dean in his speech.
For example, weaker teams should slow down and wait for the senior students to sweep through before carefully cleaning up any remaining weaker teams. This is the safest approach.
"Get on Huo Leiting's horse, this machine gun isn't as gentle as the sniper rifle from before," Wang Xuefeng said to Jiang Cheng.
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Cheng quickly got off the carriage and jumped onto Huo Lei's horse, who had come to meet him.
Although the ride on horseback was quite bumpy, it was still better than Xiao He's roller coaster.
"I will never get into her car again in my life," Jiang Cheng silently vowed to himself.
"Awoo—"
A wolf howl rang out in the distance, and Xiao He's view suddenly opened up.
This place is still halfway up the mountain. There are two paths down the slope: one goes straight down at a 45-degree angle, and the other is relatively gentle, but requires going around a U-shaped bend.
Given Xiao He's personality, he would naturally go straight to the point if he could.
"Tap tap tap tap..."
The bullets flew in a serpentine pattern as if they were free.
The monsters here are newly born and not particularly strong. With Wang Xuefeng's level 51 strength, he could easily kill them instantly.
If any survivors do manage to escape, Horry and Su Mei can finish them off with their skills.
The vehicles that arrived later were furious when they saw this, but they couldn't say anything to object, since that was the rule.
In order to save every second, many drivers had no choice but to descend the steep slope.
From a high altitude, the convoy of vehicles in the clouds resembles a stream flowing directly into a boundless sea.
Even with Wang Xuefeng's large-scale sweeping fire, it only caused a small ripple on the entire plain.
Before we knew it, the sun was setting in the west.
"What do you say now?" Horry asked Xiao He from a distance, brandishing his Fangtian Demon Halberd.
Now everyone is exhausted and needs to find a place to rest.
Xiao He glanced at the map distributed by the academy and replied, "Find a place to set up camp."
Do you have a goal yet?
"Don't cross the Leno River ahead."
"Okay! I'll go find some!"
With a flick of the reins, Horry and Jiang Cheng disappeared into the wilderness.
This plain, to put it simply, is a place for low-level "monster farming," and it is meaningless to them at their current level.
Reaching the West Coast as quickly as possible is what the first group should be prioritizing.
However, even ignoring the various monsters that might try to stop them along the way, and rushing straight toward the west coast day and night, it would still take at least three days.
Nighttime in the wild is not safe, and traveling at night is a very unwise choice.
Many teams understood this principle and followed Xiao He's carriage.
Camping alone is also an unwise choice, so everyone tacitly gathered together, which can be considered a temporary "mutual support".
Xiao He did not show any sign of refusing these people to follow him; in fact, he deliberately slowed down the carriage to wait for everyone to arrive.
Including their fifth-day team, the "first echelon" of Cloud Hunting consists of a total of eighteen teams.
Apart from Xiao He, who had just reached level 35, everyone else was at least level 50. There were even quite a few senior students who had already broken through level 60 and become advanced elementalists.
The first step is to choose a campsite. Horry has already taken care of that.
The second step is to draw a warning line, and each team selects one "guard" to take turns on duty.
"You go first," Xiao He said to Su Mei.
“Okay…” Su Mei nodded obediently and left the camp with the other guards.
It was only evening, the sky was almost dark, and everyone was still awake. This way, they could react quickly if anything unexpected happened.
