Chapter 172

There was no difference between the two routes, but there was indeed a team walking on the route that Lan Subing did not choose. After confirming that the choice was correct, the five of them went downstairs and prepared to move forward along the established route.

As soon as they left the bell tower, they were stopped by a man who was as strong as the wooden iron man. Behind him stood four other people, both men and women, but they were all tall and strong and looked like they could fight.

Si Zhaohua from the Assault Department obviously recognized them and looked at the leader: "Wilkins, what do you want to do?"

"Hand over the map, and we won't bother you anymore." Wilkins didn't waste any time and stated his purpose straight away. He already knew they had the map, and since he hadn't gotten many maps before, he was salivating over other people's maps.

If it is a student from the same school, it is fine, because they will have to get along with each other in the future, and it will be embarrassing to snatch them away. But when it comes to exchange students, they don’t have such concerns. If they succeed in snatching them away, I am afraid that other students will not only not blame them, but will also think that they have done a good job.

Si Zhaohua directly activated his supernatural power, and the angel's light instantly illuminated the surroundings, and at the same time brought a strong pressure from supernatural power: "What if we don't hand it over?"

Wilkins' face turned slightly pale, but he quickly calmed down: "The five of us may not be able to defeat you, but now your enemies are more than just the five of us. Do you think you can beat so many of us?"

They really couldn't beat so many people, but Si Zhaohua was not afraid. He asked proudly: "Then guess how many people we can eliminate before you eliminate us?"

As soon as these words came out, the people who were ready to move suddenly calmed down. Of course, there was an elimination system in this activity, and all the things obtained before being eliminated would be confiscated.

What they just discussed was to let Wilkins take the lead, even though he might be criticized, but they could compensate him with some resources afterwards. But if Wilkins was eliminated directly, then the resources they compensated would be far from enough.

Moreover, with the strength of Si Zhaohua and others, they can definitely eliminate more than just Wilkins' team. If they eliminate themselves as well, it would be a loss. God knows who will be the winner in the end.

At this time, Wilkins and the other five began to regret. They only thought that they would be criticized by the teacher for being the first to stand out, but they forgot that once the exchange students chose to go all out, they would definitely be the first to be eliminated.

His family had repeatedly told him to bring something good out of this resource-rich space. They spent money to send him to this school, in large part because of this activity. If he was eliminated for provoking the exchange students, who knows what kind of punishment he would receive.

With this in mind, Wilkins suddenly wanted to back off. His teammates behind him happened to have the same idea. A girl with a high ponytail leaned over to whisper in his ear: "Look at the others."

He looked around and found that the classmates who had agreed to share the same hatred with him were looking away and their expressions were starting to waver. Wilkins made a decision immediately: "I was also instigated by someone. Just assume that I didn't say anything just now."

After saying this, he ignored the shocked looks of the people around him and quickly left this place of trouble with his team.

The first one to stand out ran away, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Si Zhaohua swept the crowd with a powerful aura, and led Jiang Tianming and the other three out of the bell tower.

Before they left, no one dared to act rashly, but after they left, everyone started to quarrel, blame each other, and complain.

"Wilkins and his team are so rude. They just left like that."

"What if they are eliminated first? You should compensate them."

"Just now no one dared to stand up to them. If someone did, we would be able to catch up with them right away!"

"Then why don't you stand up?"

While they were wasting time, Su Bei and the other five were already on their way to the next location on the map. This location was far away from the clock tower, at the edge of the entire alien space.

When they looked in this direction from the top of the bell tower, they could only see a black river in this direction. Yes, there is a river in this alien space. But the water here is pure black, which looks very strange.

"I don't know why the river water turned black." Lan Subing frowned and said, of course she also noticed the anomaly. To be honest, if she had known that the final destination of this map was this black river that looked wrong at first glance, she might not have chosen this place.

As soon as Su Bei saw the color of the river, he knew that the trip was safe.

"The color of the river water is closely related to the Nightmare Beast. I just don't know what color it is. But to be honest, it can turn the entire river black..." After analyzing this, Jiang Tianming was silent for a while, "It feels like it is at least intermediate or above."

Indeed, the ability to change the natural environment like this can only be possessed by a mid-level nightmare beast. If the river were a little longer and wider, his answer would only be a high-level nightmare beast.

Ai Baozhu sighed: "I just hope the resources in this resource point are not too bad, otherwise I will really feel very disappointed."

Having to walk such a long distance and face powerful nightmare beasts, she would be really angry if the final resource was spirit crystals, which they already had in large quantities.

"Don't worry, I asked the teacher, the difficulty is proportional to the resources." Jiang Tianming suddenly broke a piece of news that they didn't know.

Everyone looked surprised: "Is that so? Who are you asking?"

Recalling what the teacher said at that time, Jiang Tianming replied: "I asked Teacher Meng. Before Su Bei took out the map, I asked the teacher how to find resource points in this alien space. He told me that the more dangerous the place, the better the resource points must be hidden, because most resources contain superpowers, and superpowers are the most attractive to nightmare beasts, so there must be a lot of nightmare beasts in such places."

So that's how it is. Jiang Tianming had to think about it really early. He actually asked the teacher about this question so long ago. Now the others can rest assured. Just looking at the black water, it's clear that this resource point is not simple.

"If only we had brought transportation." Although he knew that this resource point was not easy to reach, it was still difficult for Aibozhu not to complain about the long journey.

Even for a superpower, it takes a lot of energy to walk from the city center to the edge of the city. Although the young lady can endure hardships during training, she doesn't want to endure any hardship at ordinary times.

"How can we bring transportation from the alien space? How can we build a car?" Lan Subing said with a smile.

But Ai Baozhu just shook her head, as if to say, "You are really ignorant." "Who said there can't be vehicles in the alien space? As long as the entrance is big enough, vehicles can drive in anyway."

This was something that no one had expected. Except for Si Zhaohua, the other three were all surprised. Lan Subing asked in confusion: "If this is the case, why don't we usually see any means of transportation appear in the alien space?"

"Because it's not necessary." This time it was Si Zhaohua who answered, "If cars are used to enter, many complex terrains are useless. Besides, it's too easy to be damaged by nightmare beasts. Unless they are desperate for money, no one will drive a car in."

"What about the bicycle?" Lan Subing asked immediately.

Hearing this, Si Zhaohua was about to say that he didn't usually ride a bicycle, so he had never studied it. Su Bei, who understood his expression, spoke directly: "The speed of riding a bicycle is not as fast as our normal running. Except for occasionally saving some energy in a hurry, the rest of the time it is useless."

Su Bei had actually studied this problem when the academy was preparing for several alien space operations. At first, he had not thought that he could drive a vehicle into the alien space. It was when he happened to see a person whose ability was a unicycle that gave him an inspiration.

Since the means of transportation created by supernatural powers can enter the alien space, can real means of transportation do the same? I went back to check and found that they can, but as the information said, it is indeed inconvenient and it is better not to have it.

However, in a situation like this, having a bicycle would definitely be much easier than traveling on foot.

As we chatted, we arrived at the place. When we arrived at the Blackwater River, there was already a group of people there. When they saw the five new exchange students, they showed deep jealousy in their eyes, but soon they seemed to realize something and became gloating instead.

Noticing the change in his expression, Su Bei raised his eyebrows, exchanged glances with his teammates, and walked to the water's edge. Looking down, Ai Baozhu gasped: "Hiss! The water is actually like this!"

The others were equally surprised, and Si Zhaohua even took two steps back. It was not because of anything else, but because the water was filled with a dense mass of small black fish.

It was not until they got so close that they realized that the water in the river was actually normal, transparent and colorless. The reason why it looked black both near and far was because of the black fish in it.

Seeing that they were also frightened, the other team immediately laughed contentedly. The short-haired girl in the lead laughed and then spoke: "These should all be nightmare beasts. We just tried it. As long as we don't enter the water, they are not dangerous. It's easy to attack these fish, but there are too many of them. We just took turns to attack them, but it didn't cause any effect at all."

They believed this, a huge black mass of fish filled the entire river. Unless they had particularly strong electricity, water, or poison abilities, it would be difficult to cause any substantial damage to such a large number of fish beasts.

"What will happen if we enter the water?" Seeing that the other party was about to reveal information, Jiang Tianming asked directly.

As expected, the short-haired girl answered, "Their attack method is very simple, which is the most common biting. Their teeth are relatively sharp, and once something enters the water, these nightmare beasts will rush over one by one and take a small bite of each. Apart from this, there is no other way to attack."

At this point, she conjured up a wooden stick that was two fingers thick and thirty centimeters long, and placed it in the water. The fish immediately moved, and ripples appeared on the water surface.

After only one second, the girl took the stick out of the water. Only a short section of the stick was left, and the part that had been in the water had been completely eaten. You could still see traces of the chewing on the edge of the stick.

Each bite is very small, less than half the diameter of the little finger. But even such a small bite, with the absolute blessing of quantity, cannot be underestimated.

"Thank you for your information, you guys..." Jiang Tianming thanked them politely. Just as he was about to say something else, he saw another group of people coming. It turned out to be Elvis and his three companions!

Ian, the only cheerful one among the trio, waved enthusiastically to Su Bei and the others: "Long time no see! I didn't expect to see you here!"

Elvis nodded to the five people from Su Bei and ignored the rice cooker group next to him. Tiffany was even more cold and ignored everyone.

Seeing Tiffany, the short-haired woman and others who had heard of her for a long time subconsciously pursed their lips and kept their distance from her. There was no way, vampires were scary. Although Tiffany looked delicate and beautiful, like a doll, her pale skin and red lips only made people think of vampires more.

Besides, they didn't wrongly accuse her. Tiffany really had the ability to permanently control others. Who wouldn't be scared?

Tiffany turned a blind eye to their fear and alienation, standing silently at the water's edge observing the situation underwater.

After a brief greeting, the short-haired girl continued the topic just now: "I told you the information, firstly because you can experiment with it yourself, and secondly because I think we should cooperate. I guess the resources should be underwater. Facing so many black fish nightmare beasts, we can only clear a space by working together. What do you think?"

Seeing that Elvis and the others were still confused, although three more people would mean three more people to share the resources, under the current circumstances, if they did not work together, they might not get any resources at all. Therefore, the short-haired girl repeated what she had just said to them.

"We need to discuss it first." Jiang Tianming did not agree directly, but took his teammates aside to discuss the feasibility of this cooperation.

"How do you agree?" Jiang Tianming asked as he walked to the corner, "If you have other methods, then we don't have to share resources with them."

The resources in this place must be extraordinary, so it is better to monopolize them if possible. If you cooperate with other teams, there may be an uneven distribution of the spoils in the end, so it is better to monopolize the majority from the beginning.

"Su Bei, you can do it, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, Ai Baozhu remembered what Su Bei did last night. He was able to wipe out so many bat nightmare beasts in one go, so dealing with these black fish nightmare beasts shouldn't be a problem.

Facing the puzzled expressions of the others, Ai Baozhu explained enthusiastically: "You don't know, there were a lot of bat nightmare beasts last night, densely surrounding us. I could only use the [Gorgeous Domain] to hold them back. As a result, Su Bei exerted his strength, and suddenly a bolt of lightning struck, and all the nightmare beasts disappeared."

"So it was you who caused the sudden thunder last night." Ian showed a surprised expression. Not only him, but also several other people who did not sleep last night because they were constantly destroying nightmare beasts, all showed surprised expressions.

They were of course aware of what happened last night. Just as Ai Baozhu said, a thunderbolt struck and all the nightmare beasts disappeared. Although they knew that the reason for the disappearance of the nightmare beasts was the light, not the thunderbolt, the fact that Su Bei could summon the thunderbolt itself was surprising.

Elvis's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and he looked at Su Bei with dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you use this ability before?"

But soon he suddenly realized something: "You summoned the thunderbolts to destroy those bat nightmare beasts. The thunderbolts are not your means, destroying the nightmare beasts is."

This statement may sound a bit awkward, and even seem to be illogical at first glance, but Su Bei knew very well that Elvis really understood his ability.

Just as he said, Su Bei's ability was to make the Nightmare Beast die, and the lightning was just a means of this ability, and had nothing to do with Su Bei. He could not summon lightning, he could only kill the enemy.

Jiang Tianming thought for a moment and decided to put this question aside for now. It would be more reliable to focus on the present situation: "So Su Bei, can you destroy these nightmare beasts?"

Su Bei can indeed do it, just as easily as destroying those bat nightmare beasts. Both have very similar characteristics, and despite the large number, the Destiny Compass is surprisingly consistent.

It is also very simple to change the fate of all Nightmares. Just adjust the pointer of one Nightmare and most of the remaining pointers will follow.

There are so many nightmare fish here, it is impossible for Su Bei to pick out the pointers that are not sociable and adjust them to the correct position, but it doesn’t matter, as long as the big heads die, they can easily deal with the remaining small heads.

If this had happened before yesterday, Su Bei would have agreed without hesitation. But the problem was that the result of yesterday's handling taught him a lesson, letting him know that he couldn't use this group attack ability recklessly.

There are so many nightmare beasts in this river. If he really kills them all, God knows how severe the backlash will be.

But this certainly can't be said directly, Su Bei will not expose any shortcomings of his supernatural powers openly. Before the comics clearly expose his shortcomings, he may change his skill shortcomings through forum readers.

This is not a good opportunity, but maybe he can change it next time. However, Su Bei would not agree to Jiang Tianming's words no matter what. However, he is using his supernatural power now, and he can still bear the backlash. However, if he is exhausted like last time, he will definitely turn pale and look weak at a glance.

This kind of weakness that can be clearly seen in comic characters will definitely not be hidden in the comics like in the previous times. In other words, the readers can also clearly see his weakness. It will be difficult to find an excuse to change the weakness at that time.

Let him think of a reason... Never mind, what reason does he want? After he figured it out, Su Bei immediately shrugged: "You can, but I don't want to. Yu Yu is so cute, how can I kill Yu Yu?"

Everyone: “…”

Jiang Tianming had a puzzled expression on his face. He wanted to say something, but finally waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Just be happy."

They have been together for such a long time, and he knows Su Bei's personality very well. If he doesn't want to help, then he won't help. As for the reason, judging from his performance just now, he probably won't tell the truth. It's better not to ask, so as not to make himself angry again.

Because people know that Su Bei can see destiny, they often automatically give his actions a mysterious and reasonable veil. If he doesn't do it, it's probably because there will be problems if he does, or it's because destiny doesn't allow him to do it.

Plus, this guy doesn't like to answer questions properly, so no one cares about him. If Su Bei is willing to help, then they are lucky. If he is not willing to help, then it is reasonable.

However, they understand him, but others don't. A boy with a yellow-brown hedgehog head in the short-haired girl team saw him being praised by the pink-haired beauty and did nothing, so he couldn't help but mock him: "Why don't you want to do it? No means no, stop pretending, okay?"

I have to say that in a sense he is right. Su Bei is a bit of a show-off. But he can do it, but he can't stand it if others say it. He is not without strength, so why should he be ridiculed by others?

There was no need to show mercy to cannon fodder, especially when their strength was so different from his. Su Bei threw a gear out easily and it stopped in front of the hedgehog-head's neck, with the tip of the gear pressed against his neck.

The Hedgehog-Head was so frightened that he dared not move. He saw the gear move slightly, leaving a tiny bleeding wound on his neck.

Su Bei casually said, "You are eliminated."

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. The short-haired girl's team immediately gathered together to form a defensive formation and looked at Su Bei cautiously.

The hedgehog-haired guy who was eliminated by him blushed: "How could you..."

"Tsk." Su Bei raised a finger to his lips, his purple eyes full of teasing, "The dead can't talk."

This is the rule that the teacher said before. If you are attacked in a fatal part, it is equivalent to being killed, and you need to immediately press the watch to leave the alien space.

Hedgehog-head wanted to argue further, but his friends in the team could only persuade him that if he insisted on staying, all the gains of the entire team would be gone.

There was no other way. Although he was unwilling, the price of violating the rules was obviously higher. In order not to destroy the hard work of his companions, Hedgehog Head had no choice but to leave the alien space.

After he left, the short-haired girl and the others could no longer stay here. Although they all knew that the hedgehog-headed guy was mean, he was still a member of their team. They couldn't stay here any longer, unless they had the courage to compete with the exchange student group that Su Bei was in. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to gain anything by staying here.

Others were quite accepting of Subei's actions. Although the killing was a bit decisive, no one's life was really harmed. Besides, they could see who was causing the trouble, and the other party should be punished.

After they left, Ai Baozhu suddenly remembered something and showed an excited expression: "I think I can do it"

Just now, she had neglected herself because she immediately thought of Su Bei's operation last night. But now she realized that although her ability could not destroy all the nightmare beasts, it could still make them move away from the crowd to observe the situation in the river.
