Chapter 168

However, they did not look for trouble, but trouble came to them. After a while, someone in the house opened the door and saw Su Bei and his partner who were resting not far away: "Jiang Tianming, Su Bei"

He immediately became alert and quickly called out his teammates, then questioned Jiang Tianming: "What are you doing here? Did you see us coming in, so you squatted at the door and wanted to sneak up on us?"

They were unwilling to admit that this was an injustice. Jiang Tianming explained in a good-tempered manner: "No, we are just waiting for our teammates here."

"Why do you have to wait here for your teammates? Why don't you go into other rooms? Do you think we are fools? Just sneak in if you want to, don't think we are afraid of you!" Those people obviously didn't believe it. The red-haired boy who first discovered the two of them said suspiciously.

"Because this is where we originally agreed to meet." Jiang Tianming pointed to the house behind them and said calmly, "We even left the door open to prevent anyone from coming in. So to be precise, you stole our house."

The five people who said this fell silent. They certainly remembered that the door was open when they came here. At that time, they thought that since the door was open, there must be nothing inside. Resting here would not be dangerous, and it would also prevent the treasure from being coveted by others. Who could have thought that this was actually someone else's habitat.

For a while, the atmosphere on both sides was very awkward.

Finally, it was the captain of the other team who spoke up to break the awkward situation: "Since you discovered this place first, it should be yours."

Although it was not easy to find a house without obvious holes and no danger, they still understood the principle of first come first served. Besides, there was no need to offend Jiang Tianming and his men for a place to live that they could find at any time, and they might not be able to defeat them.

Jiang Tianming naturally did not refuse to give in. They were the ones who found the house first. He did not go directly to the house because he was too lazy to cause trouble. But since the other party gave in, there was no reason to refuse.

A storm was resolved without a trace, and it was rare to see normalcy again.

Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, Jiang Tianming started to make a fire and cook. On the way back just now, they had caught a nightmare rabbit and a nightmare bird, which was just right for lunch.

As for the nightmare rat, although nightmare beasts and wild beasts are only similar in appearance, their natures are completely different. However, eating rats from the city is still a test for their psychological quality. Anyway, they are not really short of food, so there is no need to embarrass themselves.

At half past eleven, Si Zhaohua and the other two finally came back. They looked like they had just had a fight, and their hair was a little messy, but it was not a big deal.

"You are in conflict with others." Jiang Tianming naturally noticed their abnormality.

Ai Baozhu looked unhappy, but not at Jiang Tianming, but at the team of idiots she had just met.

Seeing that she was too angry to talk, and Lan Subing was not one to talk, Si Zhaohua had to explain: "When we came back, we found a resource point, a 'Cui Cui Fruit Tree' that was about to mature. There were many nightmare beasts waiting around, and after we dealt with them, that team jumped out and said that whoever saw it would get a share."

The "Cui Cui Fruit Tree" is a type of tree that only exists in the alien dimension. The Cuicui juice it produces is very delicious, and most importantly, when a wood-attributed mutant eats it, some wood elements can be grown in his body.

Reference 5 understands that after obtaining the essence of the earth element, the superpowers will undergo a qualitative change. This is enough to know how beneficial it is for elemental superpowers to increase the content of corresponding elements in the body.

Generally, the best way to trade this kind of thing is to barter, exchanging it for other elemental items. So even though the Cuicui Fruit is just a wood-attribute item, Qi Huang and Wu know that they both need it.

When they heard that the group of people jumped out after they had cleared out all the nightmare beasts, how could they not understand what was going on? It was obvious that they had been lying in wait there for a long time, hoping to reap the benefits.

"It's more than that!" Seeing that he was about to continue, Ai Baozhu quickly added. If it were just a few shameless people, she wouldn't be so angry, "They actually look down on us!"

"Why?" Jiang Tianming asked in surprise. No matter from what angle, the three of them would not be looked down upon. In terms of supernatural powers, they are well-deservedly strong, their family backgrounds are also first-class, and their looks are not to mention. What's the point of mocking?

A Baozhu was so angry that she stamped her feet fiercely, as if she wanted to vent all her anger: "It's said that the three of us couldn't beat Elvis even though we knew his superpowers. This is a disgrace to our school."

Jiang Tianming said that it was difficult to understand their thinking. Elvis was the strongest in "Alpha Supernatural High School". How could it be shameful to not be able to beat him?

What's more, except for Ai Baozhu who really lost, the remaining two people had one tie and one win. Can this be ridiculed?

Su Bei asked curiously: "So what happened in the end?"

Ai Baozhu sneered and said domineeringly: "If I can't beat Elvis, how can I beat them?"

Lan Subing next to her simply explained her words: "We eliminated them all."

This answer made Su Bei and Jiang Tianming nod at the same time. It would be best if such a talkative person was eliminated. If he was not eliminated, they would be angry.

"These are our harvest, rubber energy alloy." Jiang Tianming took out a piece of rubber energy alloy from the storage ring and showed it to them. These things will be merged together in the end and then distributed.

Si Zhaohua also took out a Cuicui fruit. The Cuicui fruit was green all over and appeared translucent. The skin was transparent, and the flesh inside could be seen directly from the outside.

The fruit only contains pulp, juice and meridians. Because it has no seeds, even if you get the fruit and plant it in the ground in another space, no new Cuicui fruit tree will grow.

Humans have not yet figured out the specific cultivation method for the Cuicui fruit tree, and it cannot be transplanted, so the Cuicui fruit is still very precious.

Like Su Bei and the others, Si Zhaohua and his team also brought back a few nightmare beasts. The fire was already lit, and after quickly finishing lunch, they headed towards the bell tower.

Did the five of them hesitate while searching for the clock tower? In the end, they understood each other and couldn't help laughing. It was obvious that they had forgotten that they could search directly from a higher place. Otherwise, whether they climbed to the roof or had Si Shaohua fly, they could easily find the clock tower without having to separate.

When they arrived at the bell tower, quite a few people had already gathered there. It was obvious that they were not the only group that had obtained the map, and the students from our school would have obtained even more.

I just don't know how many teams own the map in Su Bei's hands.

Seeing the five of them coming, many people showed surprised expressions. Someone asked directly in surprise: "What are you doing here? Do you also have... umm!"

Before he could finish his words, his smarter companion covered his mouth. If Su Bei and his friends really had a map, it would be fine. But if they didn't, wouldn't he have exposed everyone else's secrets by saying this?

Since they didn't ask any further questions, the people from Northern Su naturally didn't reveal the idea that they had a map.

They pretended to explore the bell tower, went in for a walk, came out with nothing, and then started walking towards their real destination according to the route given on the map.

I hadn't walked far when I heard the sound of fighting and shouting behind me. It was obvious that someone was fighting over the ownership of the map.

Everyone felt that the school had evil intentions. They deliberately placed all the starting points in the clock tower, just to get them together and make it easier for them to argue.

Fortunately, because they were exchange students, the others didn't know that they also got the map, otherwise Su Bei was sure that they would become the target of everyone's criticism and siege from the very beginning.

The students of "Alpha Supernatural High School" were hostile to them at first because they thought they were stealing resources. Now if they knew they really got the same resources as them, they would definitely be furious.

"Go 500 meters along this road, then turn left..." Lan Subing read the contents on the map in a low voice, and sighed, "Fortunately, I didn't use east, south, west and north to distinguish, otherwise I really couldn't tell the difference."

It is still noon and the sun is directly overhead, so it is impossible to use it to determine the direction.

Su Bei has a clear understanding of the directions of east, south, west and north. He had practiced orienteering when he was a child.

The other three nodded in agreement. They didn't like to distinguish between east, south, west and north. When finding their way, they had to tell the direction by themselves after hearing someone say east, south, west and north. It would be easier to just say left, right and left.

"Someone is here." Suddenly, Su Bei spoke softly.

Everyone immediately became alert, but did not show it on their faces and continued chatting loudly.

Su Bei continued softly, "Following us from behind, it might be the same map."

Hearing this, everyone understood immediately. If it was the same map, then it made sense. This group of people probably followed them because they found that they also had the same map, so they planned to reap the benefits.

"Then let's deal with them now?" Jiang Tianming asked.

The others had no objection, and they all tacitly slipped in around the corner, giving the people following behind the target the illusion that they had lost sight of them and were about to fall behind.

The five people following behind him were indeed anxious, and they quickened their pace and walked forward. When they reached the corner, a feather touched the aorta of each of their necks. The feather seemed soft and light, but the few people who had seen how Si Zhaohua attacked dared not move, fearing that their blood would gush out in the next moment.

No one dared to move, so naturally they were captured by the five men from Su Bei without any ability to fight back.

The teacher of "Alpha Supernatural High School" outside the screen just wanted to cover his face and shake his head. He didn't even have the courage to be discovered when following others. Not only did he not realize that he was discovered, but after being controlled, he didn't even dare to resist.

"I still have to practice." Joseph sighed, but looked at Meng Huai with some doubt, "But I am curious about one thing, I wonder if Teacher Meng can answer it for me."

"What's the problem?" Meng Huai asked puzzledly.

Joseph pushed his glasses and said, "From what I have seen, the five students from our school have not shown any signs of being involved. So how did the students from northern Jiangsu know that someone was following them?"

Since those five students from our school dared to follow the obviously powerful transfer student, they were either not in their right mind or they were very capable. In fact, they were the latter.

The five people maintained a very safe position during the tracking. Unless they were psychics with enhanced hearing abilities, they would not be able to hear the footsteps that far away.

Su Bei and the others did not look back during the whole process, so they should not have discovered their traces. However, Su Bei was able to accurately determine that someone was following them, which must have relied on some kind of ability.

Meng Huai raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect John to notice this. Su Bei's advanced mental power was no secret to the members of Class S, but others didn't know it.

Meng Huai certainly didn't intend to expose such a powerful weapon, so he pretended to be ignorant and replied: "This kid is very good at counter-reconnaissance. Maybe he noticed something that we didn't see."

John couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false, but no matter whether it was true or false, he knew that he shouldn't continue asking. If it was true, there was no need to ask further. If it was false, then even if he continued to ask, Meng Huai would obviously not tell the truth.

Everyone had different thoughts and continued to watch the big screen.

Su Bei and his team certainly showed no mercy to these five stalkers. They used their release as a bargaining chip and successfully took away the three maps from them, including the skill book resource point map they had.

These resource point maps in the "Alpha Superpower High School" mobile phone are very sophisticated. No one knows what kind of superpowers have been cast on them. If you don't hold the map, you will lose the memory of the content on the map.

This is to prevent students from selling the contents of the map directly to others, causing resource points that were originally known to only three people to become known to more people.

Now it is convenient for Su Bei and others to snatch the map, and there is no need to worry about whether they have prepared a backup or something. Anyway, as long as the map is taken away, the backup will be useless.

After getting the map, they kept their promise and released the other party. Although it is obvious that after these people leave, they will definitely publicize the fact that they have the map. But this matter cannot be kept secret forever, and it will not matter even if it is announced.

There were no problems along the way until the five of them arrived at their destination and found that there were already two teams there.

The so-called destination is actually a small manor, where the skill book should be hidden. The two teams are now facing each other at the gate of the manor.

"We got this map first. We got it on the first day of the activity, so we should explore it now." A man from Team A said confidently.

Team B was amused by his illogical rhetoric. One of the members had two ponytails and crossed her arms over her chest: "Is this funny? If we really want to do what you said, teacher, wouldn't it be fine to only give each map to one person? Why give out so many? Isn't it for us to compete?"

"But not only did we get this map first, we also found this place first. You guys are lagging behind in every aspect and should explore after us." The boy from Team A insisted, and the other three seemed to agree with him.

Seeing their self-righteous appearance, Team B almost began to doubt their own values. Su Bei and others who were hiding in the dark and eavesdropping were also confused. Is it possible for a normal person to say such a thing?

"Wait, the number of people is wrong." Suddenly, Jiang Tianming found a clue, "Why is there only four people in that team?"

After hearing his reminder, everyone suddenly realized why Team A only had four people. Although the rules allowed for groups of 3 to 5 people, generally everyone tried to get together five people, otherwise they would naturally be at a disadvantage with fewer people.

Suddenly, a girl ran out of the manor. As soon as she came out, she nodded to everyone in Team A, and everyone immediately showed a proud expression of confidence.

Everyone in Team B was surprised to see her, and then they saw Team A's reaction, as if they had figured something out, and angrily asked, "You were just stalling for time!"

"All good things come to those who fight for them." The boy who spoke first said proudly, "Now you can't get in. Hurry up and find other resource points. Don't waste time here. You are all familiar with Mariya's abilities."

If it wasn't for the sake of stalling for time, he wouldn't have wanted to ruin his image by saying so many stupid things. Fortunately, the effect was significant, and now this resource point was theirs.

Skill book resource points! I get excited just thinking about it!

"Does anyone of you know this Maria?" Si Zhaohua asked. He was very curious about what kind of special powers the other party had.

Su Bei really knew her: "I have seen her in the special school, but we were not in the same class."

If they are not in the same class, then it proves that their abilities are not that strong. But after hearing what the boy said, the five members of Team B suddenly collapsed, and it was obvious that they also felt that they could not get in.

Knowing that it was useless to continue fighting, Team B finally left after saying a few harsh words. Team A, on the other hand, took the opportunity to enter the manor and began to look for where the skill book was hidden.

After they all left the gate, Su Bei and the others walked to the gate. Lan Subing tentatively stretched out a hand to enter the manor, and then she quickly understood why Team A said Team B could not enter - her hand actually touched a transparent barrier!

"This is... a barrier!" Lan Subing's eyes widened in surprise, and then he activated his supernatural power, "Break!"

The reason why she dared to test like this was that even if the other party noticed their actions and came out to check the situation, they would not be afraid of anything given their special abilities.

At worst, we can just fight across the nodules. This barrier can prevent them from getting in, but it probably can't prevent superpowers from getting in. Especially superpowers like Su Bei's, which are impossible to defend against.

The next second, everyone could clearly see that the air seemed to fluctuate for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal. Lan Subing shook her head in frustration: "It can't be broken. This barrier seems to be quite powerful."

"If it could be broken so easily, those people wouldn't have left." Jiang Tianming comforted her, and at the same time he also touched and felt the transparent barrier. It felt like glass, but it became very elastic when attacked. Their attack landed on it, just like a needle dropped into the sea, not even causing a ripple.

As a strong attack type, Si Zhaohua was not very satisfied with the fact that he was completely unable to break the defense of the barrier. He pursed his lips and said, "This kind of defense strength is actually not in the same class as mine."

Jiang Tianming had already guessed: "Although this ability is powerful, it also has many disadvantages. She was away for so long just now, she must have been setting up a barrier. This barrier cannot be cast instantly, it needs to be set up in advance, and it seems that it cannot be interrupted in the middle."

"Then what can we do? Find other resource points," Ai Baozhu asked. They still have two maps in their hands, so they can go to other places now. However, during this period of time, those resource points may have been plundered.

Su Bei shrugged: "Just stay here and guard. They will come out sooner or later."

Killing people and stealing treasures is also within the scope allowed by the rules. Team B, which just left, chose to leave because they knew they might not be able to beat Team A. But they did not have such concerns.

This is indeed one way. Anyway, they are already the target of everyone's attack because they have the map, so even if they steal another treasure, it won't be a big deal. Just eliminate all the members of Team A and be done with it.

But they might not come out from the main gate, and if they go out from somewhere else, they might not be able to catch up in time. Si Zhaohua could fly to control the situation, but the members of Team A could easily notice him and choose not to go out.

Even if they didn't go out, they could still get half of the profit. It was a skill book, so it was definitely worth the trip. If Su Bei and the others stayed here, they would definitely lose out.

And the protagonists are the protagonists after all, and in this kind of mainstream shonen manga, the protagonists are not that evil. So even though Su Bei has proposed a very feasible method, no one is willing to adopt it immediately.

"Boundary..." Jiang Tianming thought silently. Because this type of psychic is relatively unpopular, and the knowledge of breaking the barrier is relatively advanced, it can only be learned in the second and third year of high school, so they have not learned the relevant knowledge before, and naturally they can't break other people's barriers.

But there are barrier-type esper among them!

Jiang Tianming suddenly thought of a possible method and looked at Ai Baozhu fiercely: "Can you try to open your supernatural power and then integrate your supernatural power into this barrier?"

Ai Baozhu's ability [Gorgeous Realm] is also a barrier-type ability, and it is a bit similar to this nodule. Under certain circumstances, the barrier can prevent the opponent from entering.

Since there are similarities, can they be integrated? Jiang Tianming is not sure, but he thinks he can give it a try.

Ai Baozhu blinked her pink eyes, and the sequins around her eyes flickered, which was very cute: "Let me try."

After saying that, she immediately stood a little further away and activated her supernatural power, and a light pink light curtain appeared around her. It is worth mentioning that everyone thought that the [Gorgeous Realm] was pink at the beginning, but during a competition on the ring, because the naked eye did not see the [Gorgeous Realm] turned on, the wooden iron man attacked directly to make a quick decision, but was bounced out by the realm.

It was then that everyone learned that the [Gorgeous Realm] could actually change color, black, white, or transparent. However, because Abaozhu preferred pink and it could confuse others, it was usually pink when it was seen from the outside.

At first, the two barriers were obviously mutually exclusive, and she couldn't enter Ai Baozhu's barrier at all. But she didn't feel upset, instead, she seemed to have discovered something and began to adjust her own barrier.

After a while, the two barriers actually began to merge!
