Outpost, inside a cave somewhere.
Qin Xiao and the others gathered around the campfire, while Ilya was busy preparing food.
"How do I turn this thing off?" Qin Xiao looked at the sphere beside him, stroking his chin and muttering to himself.
According to the official statement, this thing cannot be stored in the space, but they also didn't teach people how to turn it off.
At this moment, the entire cave was reinforced by Ilya's earth-type abilities and completely covered by Yoyo's ice layer.
No need to worry about bugs sneaking in, but this camera is a bit disgusting.
Although the environment is not conducive to doing anything, it's still a bit off-putting to see someone sleeping on live stream.
Finally, Qin Xiao, having exhausted all other options, simply had Youyou and Ilya wrap the sphere up and bury it underground.
"Hey, can you hear me? I need to rest for a bit. If you're still live, just cut it off."
Qin Xiao greeted them and sat back down by the campfire.
The group shared the food.
"Master, shall we begin hunting insects now?" Slovich asked elegantly as he ate his roasted meat.
The other beasts looked at him and said, "That's about right. Once you've rested, we'll start looking for the platinum bugs."
However, it seems that the higher-level insects are all in those plasma bases.
We haven't encountered any higher-level creatures in the natural environment all day, which is a bit of a problem.
Qin Xiao was somewhat worried. If all those plasma nests were guarded by these diamond-level chosen ones, it would be incredibly troublesome.
While it's not impossible to kill them, it's not very efficient.
Killing a Diamond-tier enemy grants 100 points, while killing a Platinum-tier enemy grants 10 points. The time it takes him to kill one Diamond-tier enemy is enough to kill a hundred Platinum-tier enemies.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiao looked at his tamed beasts.
Jingjing is currently Platinum 6-star, Youyou is Platinum 3-star, Ilya is Platinum 2-star, Bailing is Platinum 1-star, Slovic is Platinum 4-star, and Jianmu is Platinum 7-star.
Six tamed beasts, three times the normal gold-tier level, and the cultivation level they provide is several times that of an ordinary beast tamer.
He is currently at the Gold Rank 9, and is just one step away from breaking through to the Platinum Rank.
Normally, even the geniuses of Huawu Yuling Academy usually break through to the Platinum rank in their second or third year of university.
Once you reach the Platinum tier, those who lack talent will find their progress slowed down due to wasting resources or cultivating new beasts.
According to his pace, he will basically break through in one month, which is two years faster than others.
However, given the current situation and the upcoming World Youth Championships, such strength is still somewhat insufficient.
I looked at the Jianmu tree in the demon realm again. Almost a month had passed, and the Jianmu tree was still completely still.
If Jianmu can complete its evolution, I should be able to use it to advance to the Platinum rank.
After eating and extinguishing the campfire, the cave fell into darkness. Qin Xiao held Bai Ling and Slovic and slept peacefully through the night.
It's just that Jingjing, who keeps darting around, is a bit annoying.
The next day, or rather, six hours later, Qin Xiao got up.
Ilya slept beside him, while Bai Ling sat in the middle of the cave, holding Youyou, illuminated by a ball of white, glowing spiritual light.
"You've worked hard, Ling'er. You and Youyou should go back and rest for a while."
Qin Xiao spoke to Bai Ling, who was on night duty in the latter half of the night.
Soon, they finished tidying up, washed up briefly, and removed the protective gear from the cave.
Stepping out of the cave, the scene outside made Qin Xiao momentarily think he had traveled through time again.
While it may not be a landscape of breathtaking beauty, this planet is certainly lush and verdant with its strange and wonderful plants.
What's the situation now?
Qin Xiao looked at the devastation; there was hardly any vegetation on the ground, as if the fields had been burned clean.
Bare and lifeless.
He remembered something, turned around and went back to the cave, and asked Ilya to retrieve the bead that had been buried underground.
Blue Star Dispatch Room.
"Director Sun, we have a signal!"
In the lobby, the monitoring personnel immediately reported loudly.
Sun Lingbo, who hadn't slept well all night, rubbed his head and felt a headache coming on.
"Whose signal?"
"It's Qin Xiao's signal!"
Sun Lingbo immediately stood up and went to the monitoring personnel.
Sure enough, in the scene, Qin Xiao was holding the bead, walking around in the cave, talking as he went.
"Hey, is anyone there? What's going on? Should the match continue?"
Qin Xiao looked at the ravaged world outside through the light of the bead in his hand.
Soon, a somewhat distorted and blurry projection appeared on the bead.
"Qin Xiao, a major unexpected event has occurred in the competition. Official rescue efforts have commenced, but the Insect Bridge has been closed."
Rescue personnel need to travel from the Star Empire and should arrive at the outpost in about two days. In the meantime, their own survival is the top priority.
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow. Things had really gone awry.
Am I really a jinx? Why do I always run into problems in every competition I participate in?
"Director Sun, what's wrong?" Qin Xiao asked curiously. Although Sun Lingbo's image was blurry, he could still recognize his voice.
"The Zerg Queen dispatched high-ranking Zerg guards, the star screen of the outpost was destroyed, and the teleportation channels were also destroyed by the enemy."
The other party's intentions are currently unclear, but the worst-case scenario hasn't occurred yet. Hide yourself and wait for rescue.
"What about the other contestants?" Qin Xiao asked curiously.
"They have also received the information and gone into hiding. Apart from a few exceptions, they are basically fine, except for you who I can't get in touch with."
Hearing the complaint in Sun Lingbo's words, Qin Xiao scratched his nose awkwardly.
"Okay, okay, Teacher Sun, I received it. I'll hide."
After he finished speaking, the signal from the ball might have been interfered with again, and the signal began to become intermittent.
Qin Xiao casually released the bead and ignored it.
"Babies, let's just stay here. There's been a problem with the competition; it'll probably be canceled."
I wonder how many points we have. It would be a shame if we didn't get first place.
As Qin Xiao spoke, he took out the large bed again, placed it in the cave, and lay down on it.
Slovic walked over with her hair up, and Qin Xiao put his arm around her slender waist.
"Master, could this be related to the fact that we blew up a base?"
Qin Xiao's hands, which were groping around, paused. "This... this is probably impossible. There are bases like this all over the planet. Are they that important?"
The group discussed things inside the cave, but they never expected anything like it.
All of this was because, in the data uploaded by the chosen one, his tamed beasts could not be found to match in the Empress's database.
And it also aroused the interest of a certain god.
It can only be said that the saying about jinxes has some truth to it; those who are special will always be the center of attention wherever they go.
It wasn't that he brought trouble, but rather that trouble came looking for him.
Centered on the cave area, a vast area spanning thousands of miles saw a large number of Zerg gather and launch a comprehensive search.
The area of ​​contraction continued to shrink, and wherever the Zerg army passed, the earth groaned in agony.
Four queen insectoids hovered high in the sky in four directions, watching expressionlessly.
Meanwhile, in the north, a glint of light flashed in the cold eyes of the special soldier insect with faint purple-gold patterns.
As if some connection had been severed, a hint of doubt welled up in his eyes.
