Wilderness Survival (XI)
On the ice field in the northwest corner of the competition area, a large area of the ice was stained with blood.
Kuang Gu dragged the bone knife, using the tip of the knife to support his body without leaving any trace, and forced himself to stand in the wind: "Everyone in the Fantasy Beast Hall deserves to die."
Across from her, Bi Qi's long hair was stuck to her face with blood. She wiped it off a few times, wiping away the blood that hadn't yet dried. "Die? Is that your call?"
Lucien's handsome face was half burned by the flames. He pressed down on Pinkie's shoulders, but she shook him off without a care in the world. "You, the outcasts from the borderlands, should feel honored to be able to contribute to the Fantasy Beast Palace."
"Glory?" Alena's voice was filled with hatred. "Then, I wish you and your family can also have this honor."
Twenty years ago, the Hall of Illusionary Beasts established a laboratory on the edge of the Mist Hidden Swamp to study a unique beast called the "Mist Hidden Beast." This beast was incredibly intelligent, not aggressive, and possessed exceptionally strong occult abilities, so much so that after three months of research, the researchers were unable to capture more than a few for sampling.
Later, they accidentally discovered that the villagers living near the Mist Hidden Swamp had a good relationship with the Mist Hidden Beast, so they used threats and bribes to lure the Mist Hidden Beast over.
After this trick worked a few times, it no longer worked.
In order to complete the task, the experimenters actually captured the villagers for human sacrifice, betting that the intelligent and human-like Mist Beasts would come to rescue them.
Sure enough, the Mist Beast came.
After ten years of experiments, the Mist Hidden Beasts were almost completely captured, and only about one-third of the villagers were left.
Looking at the Mist Beasts surrounding the two men across from her, Alena felt she had no more words to say to these vested interests. She held the Swampfire Firefly in her arms, and starting with these Shadow Guards, the vengeful Black Swamp flames would engulf everything!
…
Southern Division.
Mond, who didn't have time to transform into armor, was shot in the knee by Keith and fell to the ground.
"Keith! You're tricking me again!"
Keith blew away the nonexistent green smoke from the phantom gun, "It's not just me."
Cui Xi had a deadpan expression. "It's just a competition. There's no need to make it sound like a life-and-death feud."
After a few phantom gunshots, Mond disappeared into a stream of data.
Keith smiled triumphantly and was about to high-five Tracy when he felt a sharp blow to his chest.
He looked down and saw a mythical beast's head peeking out of his chest, which was supposed to belong to Mithril.
"You guys..." His eyes widened. Didn't Mithril choose not to get involved in their dispute?
Trish smiled coldly, "You're so stupid. It's really an unpleasant experience to be your ally."
"Actually, our captain just doesn't want to get involved in your dispute." The Mithril team member spread his hands, "He can't control what we do now."
"Do more intelligence work from now on," Tracy impatiently fired a few more shots. She waited until Keith disappeared. Without waiting for the Mithril men to make a move, she calmly raised her hands. "I know you're going to attack me, but please hear me out first."
She pointed to the leaderboard in the sky.
[1 Thorn Flower Academy 651]
[2 Embroidery Dream Academy 252]
[3 Mithril Academy 221]
[4 Izumo Academy 125]
[5 Cappadocia College 120]
[6Black Marsh Academy 65]
"Xiu Meng's points haven't changed at all, and they're probably in trouble. If you eliminate me now, you'll only get a basic point, but it will likely lead to a quick end to the game. Are you willing to be suppressed by Xiu Meng like this?"
…
After the Izumo Academy group finished searching the resource point and left the location as quickly as possible, they decided to take a break.
Belle opened a new can of heating agent. "We've finally restocked the heating agent, but I wonder how Linyin is doing. He hasn't reported the time in so long. Is that Aisen really okay? Did he give a false time?"
Daoming Si Lian opened a bag of mythical beast food and called his own mythical beast, the Yin-Yang Fox, over while comforting Belle, "Don't worry, even if there is any problem, he can't beat your Rin Yin."
"That Fei Rui is also very strange... Su Lian's fighting ability is average." Belle became more and more annoyed the more she thought about it. "If someone wants to harm Lin Yin, Su Lian will probably be of no use at all."
On the other side, Transy quietly held a few cans of drinking water, with the translucent tentacles of the jellyfish hanging from the bottle mouths.
"Everyone, have some water." He handed the water to Chu Yun's team members one by one.
Everyone took it without question. These days, Trancy adhered to his duties as a "captive" and consciously took on these chores.
Transy also handed the water to Daomingsi Lian.
"etc."
Daoming Si Lian was about to take it when Belle suddenly came over and lifted up Trancy's sleeve, "What's hidden in your sleeve?"
The God Ring Jellyfish was curled up in his sleeve, looking ready to strike.
"you!"
The Night Orchid bloomed hastily, but Belle's tentacles still grazed the back of her hand. She instinctively shielded herself with the Daomingsi Lotus, its golden leaves swirling to block the second blast of venom.
"Trancy?" Daoming Si Lian looked at his teammates lying on the ground in disbelief. "What are you doing?"
"Can't you see? I've always hated you." Transy stroked the tentacles of the God Ring jellyfish. "From childhood to adulthood, no matter how well I did, I couldn't compare to you by a hair. Adults always told me that compared to you, I'm still far behind..."
"My jellyfish is also an Earth-level mythical beast... I was almost poisoned to death trying to make a contract with it!" He brought the jellyfish close to Daomingsi Lian. "Do you remember what happened then? On the same day I succeeded, you also made a contract with the Yin-Yang Fox! Everyone, even my parents, came to celebrate your becoming the heir to the Daomingsi family!"
"I just want them to see that when you, Daoming Si Lian, lost to me, you were also like a stray dog!"
The jellyfish toxins flowed through Belle's blood vessels. She bit her lower lip to stay awake, her infinite true energy mobilizing to slowly remove the toxins.
"Belle!" Daoming Si Lian grabbed Belle's hand in a hurry.
"Don't scream." Belle struggled gently and showed her almost healed wound.
"How is this possible..." Transy couldn't believe what he saw. "My God Ring Jellyfish is the most poisonous mythical beast in the world. How could you..."
"Don't you understand? There are still many things you don't understand. Learn more when you go out." Belle held a small dark night orchid in the palm of her hand, and mercilessly turned it into an orchid blade, turning Transy into a data stream.
In the snowstorm, Daoming Si Lian reached out to help Bei'er, but Bei'er supported herself on her knees and stood up. "Well? If you can't do it, then I'll take him away."
"There's nothing I can't do." Daoming Si Lian pulled Belle's hand again without hesitation. "Excuse me, but I have to make sure he doesn't hurt you."
…………
In a sheltered place in the northern part of the competition area, five cans of heating agents were opened as if they were free, releasing heat to their heart's content.
The black-haired girl suddenly woke up.
—She's in the second stage of the Wilderness Survival Competition.
——Then why is she in Song Baiyue’s arms?
wrong.
Song Baiyue?
Not him.
Not Song Baiyue.
Linyin pushed Feirui away as if she was scalded.
Fei Rui hugged her, feeling a little sleepy from being overly relieved, and looked at her confusedly: "What's wrong?"
Linyin's heartbeat was intense. She stared into Feirui's eyes—those dark green eyes reminded her of a swamp in a dense forest, nothing like the person she remembered. But why had she just now had the illusion that Song Baiyue had returned?
"You..." She wanted to ask, "Who are you?" but her mind held her back. Such a question seemed too vulnerable. There was no way she could reveal this side of herself to the people of the Fantasy Beast Hall.
Fei Rui looked at her hesitant look and curled her lips in a soothing manner, "I'm here."
Linyin's breathing hitched.
His tone was almost identical to Song Baiyue's.
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
Her senses have become countless times sharper since she possessed the Wuji True Qi. Could two people who have nothing to do with each other really cause her to have such frequent illusions?
"Have you been working as a shadow guard before?"
"Yes." He was a little happy. Did this mean that she started to be curious about him?
"...But you don't know Song Baiyue?" Rin thought for a moment, "Or rather, Number Nine?"
"Number nine?" Fei Rui shook her head. "There are only three Shadow Guards. Besides me, you've met the other two."
The man in front of her had clear eyes and didn't seem to be lying. And Song Baiyue wouldn't lie to her... So there was only one possibility: Song Baiyue or his memory had been tampered with.
Obviously, based on Flora's previous statement, the Shadow Guard team consists of far more than three people.
Then the person in front of her... Rinyin realized this possibility and her whole body trembled.
[Notice: Black Marsh Academy, eliminated.]
[Notice: Avalon Academy, eliminated.]
[Notice: Iberia College, eliminated.]
[Notice: Lighthouse Academy, eliminated.]
A sudden, long string of electronic tones interrupted Rin's thoughts. Four announcements were made almost simultaneously, and the next announcement from the cold female voice on the radio was even more shocking.
[Current number of teams: 6. The competition is over. Please prepare yourselves. Countdown to the closing of the venue: 10]
…In the blink of an eye, only six teams were left. She only had time to reach out and grab Fei Rui's wrist before she heard the countdown begin.
[9]
"How am I going to find you after the game?"
[8]
"Huh?" Fei Rui didn't react for a moment.
[7]
"Tell me where I can find you!"
[6]
[5]
"The Hall of Fantasy Beasts...the studio..." Fei Rui looked at the strong emotions in her eyes and was so nervous that she spoke incoherently.
[4]
"I'll come find you!" An idea suddenly occurred to him.
[3]
"I'll come find you in the competition area!" He looked like a happy little butterfly.

A teleportation light flashed, and the two disappeared from the spot.
