The place where Damocles was stationed was a naturally formed hollow in the cliff. If you want to get in, you must climb up first. However, in the process of climbing, you may encounter various poisonous substances on the cliffs. To prevent accidents, the first group to go up were light mecha soldiers. After they stepped on the ground, they let the people behind them follow.
Originally, this matter was usually handed over to Huo Xuanshan, but he was only awake, able to move and speak. Only Liao Runing was conscious in the main team, so he led the school team's light mecha soldiers up in the end.
Liao Runing led the light mecha soldiers. On the one hand, he had to plan a safe route, and on the other hand, he had to find a suitable hollow. Some hollows were too shallow and unsuitable.
Now it was dark, and Liao Runing stepped on the cliff and climbed up quickly. The front was relatively smooth. He heard the sound of scorpions crawling, and he took the lead in attacking with the mini high-temperature jet flamer modified by Ying Chenghe.
When he reached the middle section of the road, Liao Runing did not find anything unusual. He scratched a concave stone crevice with his hand. When he was about to go up to the next level, he found that the feeling was wrong. The soft touch made Liao Runing's scalp numb, and he almost instantly thought of a poisonous creature.
- Snake.
Liao Runing retracted his hand like lightning, and he was so scared that he almost fell down.
"Are you okay?" Ding Hemei happened to come up from the side. Seeing that Liao Runing had not moved for a long time, she turned around and shone the flashlight on him.
Liao Runing's face turned pale, and he trembled as he said, "Yes, there is a snake!"
Ding Hemei shone a light on it and said, "... maybe you can look at your own hands." Then she climbed up by herself.
Hearing this, Liao Runing slowly reacted and felt that his fingers were a little sticky and a little... smelly.
It was not a snake, but a long piece of feces. No wonder he didn't find anything unusual, after all, feces don't breathe.
Liao Runing: "..."
"There is one here." Someone from the school team found a suitable hollow.
Soon, the light soldiers all went to the hollow, ready to clean up the foreign objects in the cave. The medium and heavy soldiers quickly climbed up along the route of the light soldiers, and then threw down the rope to pull the mecha master and the commander up.
Half an hour later, the pit was cleaned up and all the people in Damocles Military Academy sat inside to rest. The people in the school team were normal, but the three mecha soldiers in the main team were "annihilated".
Huo Xuanshan looked very sober, but the smile on his face looked strange. As for Wei San, he walked around with bloodstains on his face and started whistling when he saw someone he liked, especially girls.
Master Liao washed his feces-stained hands with water and fell into the trough of life. He was depressed and smelled his hands all the time, always feeling that there was a smell on them.
For a while, the atmosphere in Damocles Military Academy was very strange. The members of the school team lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the members of the main team because they did not know whether the expression on their faces was sympathy or smile.
As the main commander, Jin Ke now fully understood the weirdness of the rainforest stadium.
If they don't cheer up, they won't be able to win the championship, and it will be a problem whether they can reach the finish line.
The concave hole is a good location, with a natural height advantage. Jin Ke stood up and stood at the entrance of the hole, looking into the distance.
After a while, two light curtains sounded, one from the Nampasi Military Academy and the other from the Samuel Military Academy.
So far, the Damocles Military Academy has not encountered any star beasts, but from the light curtains, they have left the other four military academies far behind.
Fortunately, the concave hole has natural defensive conditions, so the people who keep watch became Liao Runing, Jin Ke, and the school team's individual soldiers who took turns.
Wei San and Huo Xuanshan did not keep watch, but they did not rest either. The two were always in an excited state.
Ying Chenghe originally wanted them to rest, and was ready to knock two people out with one stick, but he was a mecha master, how could he be a match for a single soldier, not to mention two "happy" and excited single soldiers. Wei San turned around and grabbed the stick, knocking Ying Chenghe out.
Hearing the sound of falling to the ground, everyone looked over here: "..."
Jin Ke was awakened, stood up and drew a big circle on the wall of the cave, and said to Wei San and Huo Xuanshan: "You two come in, move here, and don't come out."
He spent a minute handing the two a sports training plan, and asked Wei San and Huo Xuanshan to follow the plan.
"Okay." Wei San took a look at the watch, stepped into the circle, and began to squat.
Huo Xuanshan followed him in and started training together.
Seeing that the two of them were seriously carrying out the schedule, Jin Ke dragged the knocked-out Ying Chenghe aside.
...
On the other side, the Imperial Military Academy.
This was the most physically demanding match for the Imperial Military Academy team since the competition began. Ying Xingjue no longer took on too much responsibility, and solved all the problems he could solve by himself. Instead, he pushed the problems to the main team and the school team, and only took over when problems were about to arise.
"The Imperial Military Academy first changed the team leader and teacher, and now it has changed the competition plan. It seems that the competition on Xita Star has a great impact on them." Lu Zhengxin looked at the people from the Imperial Military Academy and said thoughtfully.
"The main commander is too strong, so strong that the players are too dependent on him. It would be best if this problem is changed as soon as possible." Xi Haotian scanned the camera of the five military academies. "This time, Nan Paxi and Samuel played fairly steadily."
The main force of the Damocles Military Academy, which entered first, was mostly destroyed. A group of people from Pingtongyuan were also poisoned. The speed of the Imperial Military Academy was not too fast because the coordination was still in the running-in stage.
On the contrary, the other two military academies did not encounter any problems and killed several star beasts safely and steadily.
...
At five o'clock in the morning, the people of the Damocles Military Academy woke up and began to reorganize and set off. Wei San and Huo Xuanshan were lying in the circle, and it was unknown whether they fainted or fell asleep.
When they were about to leave, Liao Runing woke up the two men.
Wei San's wounds had healed a little, and he was not as excited as yesterday, but he could still see that there was something wrong with him.
Huo Xuanshan could gradually wake up over a day or two, but there was too much pollen mixed in Wei San's blood. Even if he was fed a large amount of water jade fruit, it would take at least ten days and a half a month for him to recover.
If he did not find a few more plants with antidote ingredients, Wei San's combat effectiveness would obviously drop by more than half during this period of competition in the rainforest arena.
Damocles would be at a disadvantage whether facing the star beasts or other military academies.
More importantly, if Wei San remained in this state for a long time, he would have sequelae and might become addicted.
After much consideration, Jin Ke decided to change her route and look for plants that contain antidote ingredients to help Wei San completely eliminate the toxins.
As soon as they changed their route, the commentator and the audience at the live broadcast felt it was a pity that the distance that had been opened was now shrinking again.
Damocles Military Academy did not have any objections. Following Jin Ke's instructions, he walked at full speed in another direction.
This time, the mold movement seemed to bypass Damocles Military Academy. They walked for a whole morning and still did not see any effective antidote ingredients.
Even the water jade fruit was not seen again, but other wild fruits.
"If we can't find it today, we will wait for Samuel Military Academy and exchange the antidote with them." Jin Ke responded to Cheng He and Liao Runing.
Wei San next to him heard this and looked up: "Aren't you going to grab it?"
Jin Ke: "..." Does the pollen of this psychedelic grass thorn have the ability to tell the truth?
At noon, the Damocles Military Academy finally found one of the plants that can detoxify the pollen of the psychedelic grass thorn.
After Ying Chenghe washed the plant, he crushed it to extract the juice, poured it into the big leaf, and asked Jin Ke and Liao Runing to feed them the two of them.
Wei San took the big leaf and drank it directly. Huo Xuanshan wanted to vomit after taking a small sip, so Liao Runing held his head and forced it in.
Later, Huo Xuanshan's symptoms got better, but Wei San still didn't change much.
Jin Ke didn't find other psychedelic grass thorn detoxification plants, but when he saw herbs that could detoxify other poisons, he would ask people to dig them out and carry them with them.
Who knows if there will be other accidents in the future.
In the afternoon, Damocles Military Academy finally encountered the star beast. The ones who took action were Liao Runing, Huo Xuanshan, and the school team members. Wei San was stopped by Jin Ke and was not allowed to go up.
"Wait until you wake up, then go up."
Wei San could only stay beside Ying Chenghe and move around.
After killing the star beast, the first light curtain and broadcast of Damocles Military Academy sounded in the rainforest stadium.
Ying Xingjue looked up at the direction of the light curtain and frowned slightly. That direction was not the route he expected Jin Ke to choose. It deviated a lot.
Either Jin Ke had other plans, or something happened at Damocles Military Academy, causing Jin Ke to deviate from the route.
"Commander-in-chief, someone is poisoned!" A voice suddenly came from the school team.
The main force of the Imperial Military Academy turned around and looked back.
Ying Xingjue walked over and looked at the people lying down, their lips were purple, their hands and feet were twitching.
"We were walking fine, but they suddenly fell down and became like this."
Ying Xingjue squatted down and checked the bodies of several people, and finally found scratches on the backs, necks, and hands.
It was a highly poisonous substance. After scratching people, it immediately paralyzed them, making the scratched objects unconscious and waiting for the moment when the poison took effect.
"It's too late for us to save them." Ying Xingjue retracted his hand and pressed the out button of these team members. Immediately, a small aircraft flew down from above and took the injured away.
[Four members of the Imperial Military Academy are out, repeat...]
The Imperial Military Academy fell silent. They were not destroyed by the Star Beasts, but were defeated by the common poisons in the rainforest arena.
Ying Xingjue scanned the crowd: "All commanders should always pay attention to the surrounding environment and remind individual soldiers and commanders."
Live broadcast.
"In a competition, it is impossible to tell who will win the championship until the last minute." Lu Zhengxin said while looking at the cameras of several military academies, "The favorite teams to win the championship all suffered losses in the rainforest arena, while the other two military academies sped up again."
"Luck is good for now." Xi Haotian said, "There is still a long way to go in the arena."
"There has been no antidote found at Pingtongyuan, and the detoxification pills in hand are not suitable for detoxification. Now only the detoxification pills in the hands of Samuel Military Academy can save Damocles Military Academy and Pingtongyuan." Yu Tianhe stared at the cameras of several military academies, "Assuming that the detoxification plants have not been found by the end of the afternoon, I think Pingtongyuan and Damocles Military Academy will meet first."
Sure enough, after dark, Damocles Military Academy and Pingtongyuan never found a complete set of antidote plants.
When the light curtain of Samuel Military Academy sounded again, the two military academies changed their routes again and headed in the direction of Samuel Military Academy.
