Chapter 52

Mo Xiaotian also heard what they said. He suppressed his breathing and asked in a low voice: "Should we eliminate them?"

disuse……

Hearing this word, Su Bei's eyelids twitched, and he recalled the thought that had flashed through his mind before.

It's always good to think about the worst possible outcome when you're in danger. He's been thinking about this all the way. If this event is really a conspiracy against all the first-year students, what should they do?

In theory, they were safe in this alien space. After all, they could be teleported out directly by crushing the not-so-hard glass on the outside of the dial. Even if someone attacked them secretly, they would be teleported out immediately if they encountered fatal danger.

Therefore, the only possibility that Su Bei could think of that they would face danger was that something went wrong with the transmission. If they could not be teleported out of the alien space, then they would become lambs to be slaughtered when facing high-level psychics.

But can the mastermind behind the scenes really do this? If they can tamper with the life-saving measures prepared by the academy for the students, then the Academy of Superpowers is really like a sieve.

This is the worst outcome, and Su Bei just hopes that this is not the case.

Sighing, he nodded: "Let's give it a try. We haven't seen what it's like to eliminate someone yet."

After thinking for a while, Su Bei added: "Use the method of crushing the outer cover of the dial."

He was worried that if there was really a problem with their transmission, the consequence of killing would not be that the other party would be in mortal danger and be directly teleported out of the different dimension, but that he would die on the spot.

If you want them to crush the dial cover and get out, either let them feel the danger is too great and voluntarily withdraw, or control them and crush the dial cover yourself.

The former is unlikely, so we still have to consider the latter.

After thinking for a while, Su Bei asked: "How many air cubes can you conjure up now?"

"Ten!" Mo Xiaotian answered happily when he was finally asked about his strengths. He had developed this first ability quite well.

Ten is enough. Su Bei nodded: "I will be responsible for launching a sneak attack from behind and chasing the others away. You just need to trap one person."

The two had cooperated several times before, so they were in perfect harmony. Su Bei sent out a few gears, easily scaring many people into fleeing. Everyone was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they could not be brave enough in the dark and windy forest. They did not care about the team and just ran away in all directions.

When Mo Xiaotian was operating in northern Jiangsu, he had already targeted a boy and placed several air blocks around him to prevent him from escaping.

The boy was obviously frightened and wanted to seek help from others. But everyone else has too much time to take care of themselves, so how can they have the energy to help him?

After the others ran away, Su Bei walked out and easily subdued the boy.

"It's... it's a human!" The boy was detained, but he was not angry but happy. He would rather be eliminated by his classmates than be haunted by a ghost.

"It's a person." Su Bei stood in the moonlight so that he could see his shadow clearly. "Do you want to withdraw by yourself, or do you want me to help you withdraw?"

After receiving his affirmation, the boy heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked with a sense of relief: "Brother, can you let me go?"

"What do you think?" Su Bei looked at him with a smile.

It really didn’t work. The boy sighed and said, “I’ll just quit.”

He knew that he had little chance of playing a big role in the group battle, and it was not surprising that he became someone else's captive. Just like what the teachers said before, it was a good thing for him to quit early and have a holiday early.

Su Bei immediately gave another instruction: "After you leave, find Mr. Meng Huai from Class F and tell him that Feng Lan disappeared as soon as she came in and might be in danger."

"I see. I'm eliminated by you but I still have to help you. What a touching friendship between classmates."

He muttered to himself, and without hesitation, he smashed the glass cover. The next second, the boy disappeared from the spot.

"Wow, this is amazing!" Mo Xiaotian's eyes widened, "I can actually quit just like this. It's not difficult to crush the glass at all. This is great! I was always worried that I couldn't break it."

Su Bei's expression relaxed, and he nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's great."

Since he could still exit the alien space by crushing the glass, there would be no big problem. Maybe he was wrong, and the other party's conspiracy was not in this regard.

Wait, something is wrong.

Su Bei's expression suddenly froze. He suddenly remembered that Feng Lan seemed to disappear as soon as she came in. Who said that disappearing meant leaving the alien space and returning to the academy?

Moreover, just as he had thought before, it was only the first day of the team competition. Even if he wanted to make trouble, it was too early. The transmission device might be fine today, but who knew there would be no problems in the future?

Don't let your guard down.

Forget it, let's compare it with Jiang Tianming once and for all. Su Bei sighed and looked at his watch: "Let's go, let's go find Jiang Tianming and the others, it's already so dark, and there's no place to sleep."

After realizing that the pursuers had disappeared, Jiang Tianming and the wooden iron man stopped running. They were exhausted after running for a long time, and it was not safe in the middle of the night. If the other party continued to chase them, even if they felt that they might not be able to defeat them, they would still fight back.

It was unfortunate that Jiang Tianming happened to meet an opponent whom he had offended severely in a personal battle. Then this opponent teamed up with another opponent of his for some unknown reason. The two teams together had more than ten people. How could they defeat them?

Originally, it was quite convenient to escape in the forest, as the trees were dense and the enemy could easily catch up if they kept a certain distance. However, one of the two teams was good at tracking and he kept chasing them all the way.

Now that the group of people had given up, they both breathed a sigh of relief. But they were also curious as to why they had suddenly given up after chasing for so long.

“Rustle…”

Not long after they rested, the sound of grass rubbing against each other was heard again in the forest. Jiang Tianming and the wooden iron man looked at each other warily, ready to fight each other to the death.

Even though it was two against twelve, the two of them were both in the top ten in individual competitions, so they were not without a chance of winning.

However, what was unexpected was that a golden head and a red head emerged from the bushes.

It's Su Bei and Mo Xiaotian!

Jiang Tianming and the other man were very surprised to see them, but they did not let down their guard just because they were the ones who showed up. Instead, they first glanced at the map on their watches, and after seeing that there were indeed two red dots representing their teammates around them, they confirmed that the people coming were their teammates.

"How did you get here? By the way, were the people who were chasing us chased away by you?" Jiang Tianming stopped Mo Xiaotian who was rushing over in time, looked at Su Bei and asked.

Su Bei nodded: "We eliminated one of them. Now it seems that eliminating one person adds 10 points."

Hearing his words, Jiang Tianming glanced at the scoreboard and nodded in understanding: "Eliminating one person adds 10 points, killing a nightmare beast adds 50 points. It seems that completing the task will earn more points than singles."

"There is no need to separate the tasks now. We thought it would be better to merge with you first." While observing the surrounding environment, Su Bei said his thoughts, "My idea is that we don't need to gain more points in the first two days. We can just grab them on the third day."

Hearing this, Jiang Tianming's eyes lit up: "I thought so too!"

That's why he didn't take the next step after completing the mission. Even if he encountered a nightmare beast from a distance, he would quickly get away from it.

The reason why he could think of this was after Jiang Tianming killed the first nightmare beast. He suddenly found that his mental strength was recovering very slowly.

To restore your mental strength, you need quiet meditation or sleep. You can also restore it by doing daily activities that do not require physical strength, but it will undoubtedly be much slower.

Normally, if you use up all your spiritual power, you can recover in one day. But in this kind of place, it may take a day and a half, and that's if you don't fight during that time.

After discovering the problem with his mental strength recovery, Jiang Tianming decided to wait until the third day to take action, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for him to become someone else's experience bag.

This is also what the school wants to teach students in actual combat. When they are actually out on a mission, it will never be as comfortable as in school. There will not be enough time for the psychics to recover their mental strength. So they must learn how to allocate it reasonably and try to maximize the use of mental strength in the limited recovery.

The reason why Su Bei didn't realize this was because he had a high-level mental power, which allowed him to recover faster and more easily, and was not affected by the environment. Moreover, he had indeed been in a bad state for a long time today, and his mental power had almost recovered.

Mo Xiaotian didn't say anything, simply because he didn't realize it at all. However, as a beastman who acted purely on intuition, after entering the alien space for the first time, Mo Xiaotian didn't use much mental power afterwards.

It was not until Jiang Tianming told them his discovery that the two of them suddenly realized it.

"Yes, my mental strength recovery has also become much slower! I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me!" Mo Xiaotian said foolishly, his eyes full of admiration.

Su Bei was also surprised, but he soon figured out why his mental strength was recovering so slowly. It was not like he had never experienced a period of normal mental strength before, and if he wanted to recover his mental strength, he really needed enough time and a quiet environment.

I didn't expect that there would be such benefits to upgrading to a high level of spiritual power. This is a pleasant surprise. He followed Mo Xiaotian's words and said, "I didn't notice it either. You guys are really careful."

But the fact is that he didn't fail to notice it, it's just that there really wasn't much change, so it didn't catch his attention.

Obviously Jiang Tianming and Mu Tieren also guessed this. They didn't believe that Su Bei would be as careless as Mo Xiaotian and couldn't even notice the abnormality of his own condition.

However, neither of them intended to explain this point. The wooden iron man just asked curiously: "Since you didn't find any problems with your mental strength recovery, why did you want to stay still for the past two days?"

Su Bei raised his eyebrows and smiled like a cunning fox: "My neighbors store food and I store guns. My neighbors are my granaries."

It was already one in the morning. Although most kids of this age were energetic and had fast metabolism, staying up late was not a big deal. But now was a competition after all, and if they were not energetic enough, they would be easily taken advantage of by others.

Su Bei looked around and didn't find a particularly safe environment. It would take a lot of time to build a simple shelter, and there were no caves in the forest.

Sighing, he said, "You two can discuss the night watch first. I can be there any time. Now I'm going to prepare a place to sleep."

It is definitely not a good idea to sleep directly on the ground in the forest. The cold air will easily enter your body and you will catch a cold. Moreover, although there are no animals or birds here, there are still insects. If you sleep directly on the ground and wake up the next day, you will become a human eco-bottle. So you have to at least put a layer of leaves under your body.

Bonfires are also necessary. Although making a fire in a dark environment can easily attract other people's attention, fire can provide people with warmth and necessary vision, and it is also a help when facing enemies.

Su Bei can be considered an old hand, and he does the job quickly and well. After discussing it, the wooden iron men came over to help.

It can be seen that among the few people, Su Bei and Mu Tieren are very skilled. Although Jiang Tianming is not skilled, he got the hang of it very quickly. Although Mo Xiaotian is not skilled and didn't get the hang of it very quickly, he is a very qualified atmosphere group.

"Our final decision is that Xiaotian will guard first, then me, the squad leader, and finally you, Su Bei. Each of us will guard for one and a half hours. We will get up at eight o'clock, is that okay?" Jiang Tianming said their decision while moving the leaves.

Su Bei nodded indifferently, knowing that Jiang Tianming and his men were taking care of him. For things like night watch, the first and last two people would definitely have it the easiest. But he accepted it with a clear conscience, after all, he was the one who started the fire, so he deserved his pay for his efforts.

Soon, several people made the straw beds and Su Bei also started a fire. According to the previous agreement, everyone kept watch.

“Wake up…”

When the wooden iron man's voice sounded in his ears, Su Bei opened his eyes almost immediately, showing a vigilant look. After all, he was in a dangerous place, and he slept very lightly and woke up easily.

Su Bei realized what was happening and sat up, looking at his watch. It was half past six, just the right time. He liked people who were on time for things like this, and if someone deliberately didn't wake him up in order to let him sleep a little longer, Su Bei would be annoyed.

After the handover, Su Bei stood up to warm up. According to yesterday's idea, they just need to mess around today. But with Su Bei's knowledge of comics, today will definitely not be an easy day.

Sure enough, before 7:30, Su Bei heard some noise coming from the tree. He looked up and saw a pitch-black snake as thick as an adult's palm crawling down the tree near Jiang Tianming.

Its body was very tall, its head almost touching the ground, but its tail was still hidden in the leaves. Su Bei estimated that it was at least five meters long.

Su Bei hit it with a gear, and the snake dodged at an extremely fast speed. Probably knowing that it had been discovered, it no longer hid its body and slid down quickly, trying to get to Jiang Tianming's side.

"Wake up!" Su Bei ran over, kicked Jiang Tianming to wake him up, then flew over and kicked the nightmare snake away.

He was wearing a special school uniform, which was very tough and could not be easily torn. If it were not for this, Su Bei would not dare to make a move.

Everyone was sleeping lightly, and when they heard him shout, they all opened their eyes at the same time and quickly got up.

"What's going on?" Jiang Tianming asked, while looking in the direction of Su Bei's gaze, and saw the nightmare snake that was half-raised and glaring at them.

Mo Xiaotian's eyes widened: "What a big snake!"

“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”

The nightmare snake stuck out its tongue and its upper body kept moving back and forth, as if looking for the best position to attack.

"It's very fast." Su Bei warned with vigilance, "Mo Xiaotian, trap him!"

"Okay!" Mo Xiaotian nodded with full energy and created ten transparent air cubes and placed them in front of everyone as a protective barrier.

The wooden iron man next to him made an accurate judgment based on the extracurricular knowledge he had learned in school during this period: "This nightmare snake should not be poisonous. The book says that poisonous nightmare snakes have large heads. But I don't know what its abilities are."

The lack of poison was undoubtedly good news, and everyone felt relieved. Jiang Tianming asked Su Bei for a few gears, and they controlled the gears together to attack. They remembered the common proverb "hit the snake at its seven-inch point" and attacked in the direction of the seven-inch point tacitly.

The snake was indeed very fast, but it was difficult to dodge completely in such a dense attack. In addition, there was Mo Xiaotian's air block blocking it, which made it even more stretched, and it was chopped down not long after.

Seeing the Nightmare Snake fall, several people were very cautious and did not step forward immediately. Instead, they looked at their watches and confirmed that they had added 50 points for killing the Nightmare Beast before walking over.

Su Bei grabbed the snake's tail, lifted it upside down, and looked at it: "Let's have grilled snake meat for breakfast!"

Even if it is just ordinary snake meat, it is a delicious delicacy, let alone the nightmare snake which is always known for its deliciousness.

Hearing his words, Jiang Tianming couldn't help laughing and said, "Such a big snake, let alone breakfast, I'm afraid it's enough for lunch."

Mo Xiaotian supported him as always: "Great! Let me do it and show you my grilling skills!"

"Xiaotian, you know how to grill," said the Iron Man with a smile, "I'm really looking forward to it."

Although Jiang Tianming can cook and is a good cook, seeing Mo Xiaotian's enthusiastic look, he is willing to give the opportunity to cook to him.

However, as soon as he took the snake from Su Bei's hand, the excitement on Mo Xiaotian's face gradually faded, and he showed an embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" the wooden iron man asked caringly, "You've never made a snake before, so you don't know how to handle it?"

Mo Xiaotian shook his head, his face full of regret: "No, it just needs to be cleaned!"

This whole snake definitely cannot be roasted directly, at least it needs to be washed with river water. This time it cannot be washed with mineral water like before, otherwise it would be too wasteful.

"We passed a river yesterday." Jiang Tianming took the initiative to speak, "I still remember the way, it should not be too far from here, let's go together"

Hearing this, the Iron Man was surprised and asked, "How can you remember the way in the forest? I remember we encountered a river yesterday, but I have completely forgotten the route."

Jiang Tianming showed a somewhat complicated smile, and everyone knew at a glance that there was a story behind it: "Well, remembering the way is still very important."

Seeing him like this, the wooden iron man hesitated for a moment, but still did not ask any more questions. Although they were already friends, they were not yet at the point where they could touch each other's privacy. If the other party did not take the initiative to ask, then not asking was the best choice.

After walking with Jiang Tianming for half an hour, everyone could hear the sound of running water. But it was not just running water, but also the sound of people talking.

"It seems there are quite a few people around this river." Su Bei showed an understanding look.

This is normal. Water is the source of life, and staying near a river is something that even people without much experience in surviving in the wild will do subconsciously.

After using his mental power to sense it, Su Bei raised his eyebrows and said, "There are 15 people by the river. They should belong to three teams."

Jiang Tianming and the others were not curious about how he knew this, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news. Since the three teams there could coexist peacefully, then adding another team of theirs should be no problem.

A few people walked through the woods, and as soon as they showed their heads, they immediately received fifteen looks. One of the green-haired boys opened his mouth in surprise when he saw Su Bei: "It's you!"

This was the opponent Su Bei defeated in his first individual match.

When he saw an acquaintance, he waved without any embarrassment and greeted calmly: "Hey, what a coincidence."

"Fuck you!" the green-haired man yelled angrily, "Don't you feel guilty when you see me?"

Probably because he was eliminated in the first round, the green-haired man has been following Su Bei's games ever since. Soon, he found out that Su Bei didn't just rely on cheating to win like he did in the match with him. He really has the skills.

At this moment, he did not feel embarrassed to be defeated by Su Bei. Although the opponent was only in Class F, his strength was obviously beyond Class F. It was embarrassing to be defeated by a student in Class F, but it was not embarrassing to be defeated by the top ten.

But Su Bei clearly had the ability, so why did he cheat in the match with me instead of giving it his all to convince me?

There is no doubt that Su Bei was teasing him!

The green-haired man felt that his personality was insulted, and he looked extremely sad and angry: "You could have defeated me directly, but you chose to humiliate me."

Su Bei: "..."

Is it possible that this was really the only method he could use at the time?

But unfortunately, the truth could not be told, and the green-haired man had no way of knowing it. Su Bei sighed in his heart, and squatted down in an empty space by the river as if no one was around, and looked at Mo Xiaotian: "Why are you standing there washing the snake?"

"Oh oh oh!" Mo Xiaotian reacted and quickly brought the nightmare snake he had carried all the way over and disassembled it and cleaned it.

Seeing such a huge snake, the people living by the river couldn't help but swallow their saliva. The green-haired man looked doubtfully between the nightmare snake and Su Bei: "You killed this one?"

"We killed him together." Su Bei did not take credit for it.

However, just this alone was enough to shock the other side. When they were about to flee from the nightmare beasts, Su Bei's team, which was almost entirely made up of Class F members, was able to kill the nightmare beasts together. This was too strong!

Thinking of how he had just criticized such a big shot, the green-haired man suddenly froze. He coughed and said, "Well, you are awesome. I won't pursue the previous matter."

After saying this, he thought he had both ensured his safety and saved his face, and became very pleased with himself, totally ignoring the contemptuous looks from his companions.

Several companions silently stepped back, fearing that others would associate them with this gang.
