Chapter 67: The mutants in the breeding season are not illusions, the monsters are chasing...
Even before entering the field of vision, it was so aggressive——
"What the hell is this???"
Zhou Bai ran wildly and roared in despair, while still holding Yun Fuyu's wrist with one hand.
Yun Fuyu also ran for his life.
...Thank goodness I do long-distance running every day!!
From the moment he heard the roar of the star beast, Yun Fuyu realized that something was wrong and quickly mobilized his affinity mental power to protect the three people, thus preventing them from dizziness.
Seraphina was one step ahead, leading the way.
She was hanging high below the eagle, flying in mid-air, her entire body almost parallel to the ground due to the extremely fast speed.
But looking ahead, there was only a dense forest, and there was no way to escape the pursuit of the star beast!
No, maybe this thing is not a star beast at all!
Yun Fuyu didn't dare look back, but just kept running forward, breathing heavily, and his vision went dark.
“This way!!”
Seraphina yelled, pointing to the right fork in the forest.
She gritted her teeth, controlled the giant eagle to fly faster, and looked back far away - then her pupils constricted.
Yun Fuyu and Zhou Bai might not be able to see it, but she was flying in the air and could see it clearly.
Chasing them was a gigantic monster that resembled a mountain of flesh. It was pursuing the three people at a terrifying speed, twisting and flexing, without even breaking the branches as it moved.
While chasing, it attacked the three people with its mental power.
This is a shitty star beast!
This is clearly a high-level mutant!!
Who added the hidden version to the league venue? !
This year's unlucky guy appears
[We've done this before, telling the students that there are only Star Beasts in the field, but secretly deploying Mutants.]
This is too heart-wrenching... I almost fainted watching them run away.
[You guys still have the mood to chat?! I'm so nervous my heart rate is up to 150.]
"It's okay. This type of mutant, not listed in the rules, has special rules. There's an invigilator nearby. If the student can't defeat the invigilator, he'll take the initiative."
[It's mainly to test students' on-the-spot reaction. If their response ability is too poor, they will lose points, but they will definitely not be eliminated.]
[Also to increase the tension. . . ]
Seraphina just took a quick glance and immediately turned around and continued flying.
This mutant is covered with disgusting eyeballs all over its body, and it is impossible to tell the front from the back.
Huge and sticky, making a gurgling sound.
Countless eyeballs spun aimlessly, and finally all locked onto one direction.
...Cuckoo...
Smells so good...
It stretched out its tentacles and moved forward, moving one of its eyes to the tip of the tentacle and trying to get closer.
Closer... Closer...
The eyeball was extremely turbid and covered with blood. It hung on the tentacle, looking like a dead object.
But it is clearly visible.
From that snow-white, small, fragrant prey...it could smell panic.
As the prey fled in a panic, it looked back hurriedly and its face turned pale.
In an instant, the smell of fear rose.
It liked the taste of its prey very much, and its movements became more frantic, rushing forward with a roar.
Smells so good...
It's...food...it's female...
Mine...mine!
The next second, the dancing tentacle was cut off by something next to the "female".
Zhou Bai held Yun Fuyu's hand tighter and ran while shouting at him:
“Don’t look!!!”
Yun Fuyu didn't dare to look back. He ran wildly, breathing heavily and rapidly. The taste of blood in his throat became stronger and stronger.
It's not an illusion.
The sights I felt were real.
The monster was really staring at him!

The command center is actually a huge military mothership, suspended above the site.
After taking off, it activated its stealth device, and the black ship blended seamlessly into the blue sky background.
During the joint military exercise, all staff and invigilators will be temporarily stationed in the command center.
The venue control of the joint military exercise is the responsibility of the Laurel Ten Seats and the Student Union, who will jointly formulate a work schedule.
This huge control room is the student union’s workplace.
Countless workbenches are arranged in a ring, surrounding the central control system and the holographic projection of the venue.
But at this moment, the atmosphere in the control room was so cold that you could hear a pin drop.
A student who was in charge of monitoring the skylight system was sweating profusely.
Originally, everything about the competition was progressing in an orderly manner.
But a few minutes ago, a deep red image suddenly appeared on the energy monitor of the sky system!
Although it is just a small dot, it is still extremely large compared to its surrounding environment.
This means that abnormal energy fluctuations have occurred in the venue.
The student quickly reported the situation and notified the nearby invigilator to come and deal with the anomaly immediately.
This anomaly is located in Area Z, an area supervised by the inner court students from the Sun Chasing Tower.
Unexpectedly, half a minute passed and the invigilators did not respond.
The student thought there was a problem with the system and was about to expand the scope of contact and request support from invigilators in other areas.
But before he could do anything, a communication request suddenly appeared on the system in front of him.
This is the inside story of the joint military exercise.
Could the person who can call the command center directly be a higher-level officer?
The student connected.
"Sir, you..."
"I'm Xie Huaiyan. I'm connecting all the invigilators in Zone Z."
A voice as cold as a flowing spring sounded, slightly distorted, but the tone was as calm and rational as always.
"Okay, President!"
The student jumped up and agreed quickly.
With his hands on the screen, the student suddenly remembered that he could not contact the invigilators.
"President, all the invigilators in District Z are suddenly unreachable. I've already reported the problem..."
A sneer seemed to come from the other end of the communication.
The student suspected that he had heard it wrongly.
Xie Huaiyan: "Connecting to Z-001, requesting communication."
The students did as they were told, confused.
Z-001...who is it that ranks so high?
Unexpectedly, as soon as the communication request was sent, the person answered the call.
On the other end of the line, there was a whistling sound of wind.
"Who is it? What's wrong?"
A magnetic, slightly hoarse voice sounded, with a slightly rising ending, so soft that it made the tips of one's ears numb.
There was a hint of pleasure in his voice, as well as a casual sense of ambiguity.
The student blushed.
It's a nice, familiar sound. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.
Xie Huaiyan's voice became even colder, so cold that the student suddenly came back to his senses and his hair stood on end.
"You did it?"
Judging from the sound, the president is very angry.
What's going on?
Xie Huaiyan usually doesn't get angry, and no one in the student union wants to see him angry - because it's really scary.
The man's voice became more cheerful.
"What do you mean I did it? The mutant was chosen by your student union. I just sent the other invigilators away. Besides, I can handle it alone."
Xie Huaiyan: "If I remember correctly, the Chao family should have banned you from participating in this year's joint military exercises."
"Ha. Can they stop me? Don't bother me. Once I've taken the people I want away, I'll leave naturally."
The student instantly realized who that person was.
Chao Zhao.
This person is elusive and was not originally on the list of invigilators this year.
But judging from the conversation between the two... Chao Zhao seemed to be already in the venue, and he didn't know where he got the invigilator's number from.
The student broke out in a cold sweat and quickly turned down the volume, fearing that others in the control room would hear it.
Xie Huaiyan: "You want to take him away? Wake up, the entire Chao family will soon belong to Chao Hui. What's the point of you robbing him? You will have to give him away later."
The wind on the other side of the line grew louder.
The sound of birdsong came from far away and then quickly swept behind me.
Chao Zhao seemed to be traveling quickly.
After a while, Chao Zhao's voice sounded again, obviously with a hint of coldness.
"Xie Huaiyan, what position are you using to talk to me?"
Xie Huaiyan replied slowly, "Of course it's to maintain order on the grounds, and to do Zhaohui a favor."
Chao Zhao, who was chasing the mutant among the treetops, looked gloomy when he heard this.
"Yun Fuyu is mine. He's just an S-rank mutant... If he asks me for help, I'll take him away."
The Xie family could try to intervene.
Chao Zhao was already gritting his teeth because Adrian had gotten there first.
From now on, Chao Zhao will never, ever give anyone the chance to compete for Yun Fu Yu.
In a blink of an eye, Chao Zhao had caught up with the mutant and was running parallel to it at a distance.
Ordinary freshmen have not learned much knowledge about how to deal with S-level mutants, so when faced with it, they can basically only run away.
For Chao Zhao...he can take action to deal with this mutant at any time.
Yun Fuyu doesn’t want to expose his offensive mental power, that’s fine.
As long as Yun Fuyu asks Chao Zhao for help, Chao Zhao will save him and take him away.
Xie Huaiyan's face darkened: "Idiot."
After scolding Chao Zhao, Xie Huaiyan told the students, "Cut off his communications."
The students did as they were told immediately.
Afterwards, the students followed Xie Huaiyan’s request and connected all students involved in the monitoring work to the communication system.
The students who were monitoring the mutant's movements were also wondering.
There were other teams not far away, but the S-level mutant was closely following one of the teams.
What exactly does that team have?
A student wondered, "Logically, this mutant should move very slowly. Why is it suddenly so violent?"
Another person said, "You're right. It's indeed strange. An S-class mutant is already somewhat intelligent. It chased people all the way in such a high-profile manner without even hiding. Isn't it courting death?"
"Also—I remember this mutant didn't eat humans, but it did infect the roots of the World Tree at the border. Cleaning it up was incredibly annoying..."
Suddenly, Xie Huaiyan's voice on the communication interrupted the students' conversation, his tone was extremely cold.
"It's in its breeding season now."
They will instinctively chase after special individuals, eager to drag them into their nests and pour something... into them.
The targeted prey can only be trapped in the dark underground, holding its stomach and crying, gradually becoming submissive under the dizzying mental attack, and only knowing to give birth to a bunch of monsters for it.
It's disgusting stuff.
The student's face turned pale instantly.
If this is true, then the students it targets will be in great danger.
A student frowned and said in a puzzled tone:
"That's not right. We've clearly cleared the site, and the remaining mutants have all been rigorously tested and even implanted with monitoring chips. How could there be individuals in their reproductive stage?"
He personally participated in the site cleaning work, round after round, with extreme strictness and caution.
Obviously, no one can escape the net.
Could it be that...something triggered its breeding period?
Student: "I'll notify the nearby invigilator right away!"
Xie Huaiyan didn't say anything, and after a few breaths, he hung up the phone.
Xie Huaiyan was currently sitting in the aircraft, heading to the command center.
He held the communicator tightly and sat in the last row of seats.
There was no one around except him.
Xie Huaiyan sat there almost motionless, even his breathing was barely perceptible, making people suspect that he was actually a cold statue.
Only his fingers, clenched so tightly they turned white, and the soft crackling of the communicator betrayed his emotions.
After a long time, Xie Huaiyan took a deep breath, released the communicator, brought up the light screen, and sent a message to a window.
"Xie Huaiyan: An accident has occurred, file C3."
If other people saw it, they might be surprised that the person he sent the message to was not the command center, but... the Xie family.

[What the hell is this? ]
[Am I seeing things? What's that on the top of the tentacle? ?]
[You read that right, it’s the kind of thing that needs to be coded]
[This is too disgusting... The students who are being chased must have psychological trauma...]
Song Jian was hanging upside down on the tree at this moment. He was shocked by the roar of the mutant and was almost fainting.
He wanted to call the invigilator, but in his panic, the bracelet fell to the ground!
Two of Song Jian's teammates are already unconscious.
The other two teammates who had not fallen down hurriedly carried one person each, without paying attention to Song Jian, and turned around and ran.
"No—wait, don't go!"
Just when Song Jian was almost in despair, he suddenly saw several people running towards him from a distance.
“Help!!!! Help!!!”
Song Jian roared with all his might.
Seraphina hadn't expected that while they were running around in the forest in a panic, they would actually bump into the student who was hanging upside down as bait!
She quickly ordered the giant eagle to cut the rope that was hanging the man.
Zhou Bai was also confused.
"F*ck!! Where's your bracelet?? You're not even going to quit the competition??"
The three members of the team finally managed to distance themselves from the mutant, but they had to stop and untie the man first.
But the rope used to tie people up was made of unknown material. It was extremely hard and even mental strength couldn't cut it quickly.
Zhou Bai untied Song Jian with sweat all over his forehead.
Song Jian was almost scared to tears.
"The bracelet fell to the ground and I don't know where it is!"
He was doomed now. The ground was covered with thick piles of fallen leaves. He didn't even see where the bracelet fell. Now he couldn't withdraw from the competition.
Song Jian knew Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai is one of the few civilian freshmen who is S-level upon enrollment. He is very impressive.
He is also very loyal and would never make things difficult for others like other high-level psychics.
Song Jian looked at Zhou Bai for help, his legs so weak that he could hardly stand up.
Zhou Bai was about to explode.
If he doesn't save her, he won't be able to accept it.
Save them - they may not be able to defeat the mutants!
Zhou Bai made a quick decision and turned to Yun Fuyu and Seraphina and said:
"You go first! I'll untie the rope and chase you!"
