Chapter 229
Has anyone at Duma Academy tried the "potion" yet?
The answer is of course yes.
Even though Shen Yijing had strictly prohibited the exchange of potions in the Trial Tower Treasury, and was not allowed to use star coins or other resources to find others to trade potions, and also asked Hayes to strictly monitor the tower rushing situation of every member of the team and pay close attention to the daily life of the team members, there were still some fish that slipped through the net.
The underground space of the [Desert Eye] map has no built-in lighting equipment. The space environment is dim and the visibility is poor, which depends entirely on the equipment support personnel of each school team.
The chaos had just occurred, with the technical personnel of Team Diyao, Team Duma, and Team Golden Uriel all engaged in the battle, making it impossible to set up a permanent light source within the arena. Furthermore, the radiant energy within the arena, with everyone's energy peaks varying, and the interweaving of light and darkness from the four-colored elements, made the entire space even more eerie, flickering.
Jiang Yunu has a wide field of vision. She doesn't have a head like Captain Shen that seems to be able to overlook the entire battlefield, but she has a pair of killer animal eyes that can accurately search for prey in a vast territory.
She is also very adaptable to changes in ambient light, and alternations between light and dark do not affect her vision.
When Shen Yijing stopped moving abruptly, Jiang Yunu was the first to notice something was wrong.
Even when he was fighting with other players from Duma Academy, Shen Yijing was like being "marked" by Jiang Yunu. His every move was fed back to her sensory network in real time, and she would not let him out of her detection range.
Otherwise, it would be interesting if Captain Shen gave up fighting against the main force of Di Yao led by Captain Di Yao and suddenly wanted to "raid" her.
...It is also possible that she wanted to launch a surprise attack on the other party.
Why did Shen Yijing stop? Jiang Yunu wondered.
Her attention shifted to the dimly lit corner where the other person was, and she soon realized that Shen Yijing not only stopped, but was also staring straight in a certain direction.
The black long sword in his hand was swung horizontally, a blocking gesture.
But I didn’t see the next step for a long time.
What is he looking at, what is he blocking, and what is he hesitating about?
Something that could cause Shen Yijing to stagnate on the battlefield must be something not to be underestimated. Jiang Yunu subconsciously paid more attention to it. She used the elemental creation in her hand like a short stick, sweeping it in all directions. Finally, she moved slightly from the "gateway" she was strictly guarding, so that she could explore more details from the crowded gap.
A strong wind brushed past her elbow. A close-range player from Duma Academy took this subtle movement as a flaw and tried to attack the "loophole" in the defense, but was blocked by Jiang Yunu's green supernatural power that blocked there like a spider web.
Oliang and Ulena from the Golden Ule School Team were right beside her. They had come to support her and together they built this blockade line.
Jiang Yunu still had a moment to think: ...Could this be Captain Shen's new tactic, to perform some abnormal behavior from a distance to attract my attention?
For example, distracting her so that the contestants from Duma Academy can pass through the blockade.
All these endless distracting thoughts stopped after I truly saw the situation in that corner.
Shen Yijing was indeed trying to stop him, and he was indeed hesitating - his Jiang Yu Crossbow had never seen the black knife unsheathed and was lying across in front of him, and his wrist had stretched out light-colored soft tendons due to the force.
There was a row of teeth stuck in his knife.
Jiang Yunu almost thought she was dazzled. She rarely doubted her eyesight, but when she looked again, it was indeed a row of teeth.
The lower teeth are slightly longer than the upper teeth, and the lower jaw protrudes about an inch further than the upper jaw.
There are two layers of teeth exposed in the lower jaw, and when biting, the upper teeth can fit neatly between the two rows of lower teeth.
This strange tooth with "one top and one bottom" bit tightly into the center of Captain Shen's black knife, and the tip of the tooth kept trying to go deeper into the blade, making a violent and futile "clucking" sound.
"Crackle, crackle."
Shen Yijing was bitten by the row of teeth and didn't let the other party get close to him. However, the black knife was also stagnant and could not move forward an inch.
Shen Yijing was in a dilemma.
What should he do, what can he do?
A few minutes ago, the team member in front of him was at least able to communicate in human language, but the speed from the appearance of signs of alienation to partial and complete alienation was so fast!
The sentence "I'm going to clean up the roadblock player of Golden Uriel" became the last words left by the other party.
If alienation cannot be perfectly reversed, then that sentence may become a last word.
Shen Yijing was no longer able to hold a team member with a mutated head accountable for disobeying orders. A few minutes ago, the other party was targeting Jiang Yunu, but after the complete mutation, the other party seemed to have his brain thinking affected and only regarded everyone who blocked his way as an enemy.
Chen Yijing had been on a real elemental battlefield and had killed elemental beasts with real swords, but killing an elemental beast and defeating a "half-elemental beast" transformed by a team member were two completely different things.
He wasn't used to wielding a knife against his former teammates yet.
The deadlock was broken by a voice from behind: "Even if you stay here all day, there's no way to make him return to his original state."
Jiang Yunu had already rushed from the "pass" that he had originally firmly controlled to behind Shen Yijing.
Di Yao already had enough supporters digging for the "core object", and the new situation on Chen Yijing's side made the situation even more chaotic. Jiang Yunu quickly determined that the situation here was more important.
Shen Yijing didn't say anything, and the orc-like team member roared from his throat.
This obviously inhuman sound finally attracted more attention.
"What's that sound?"
"There are elemental beasts in the fine sand layer in the underground area of 'Desert Eye'?!"
"Which direction? Which direction? -Captain!"
The nearest players came closer, and the three-person Di Yao team and a Duma team member even stopped fighting. Both sides spontaneously focused on the "elemental beasts" first.
And there was Sorok's voice.
"Wait! Don't go any further!"
Sorok's shout was directed at a student from Diyao.
Xu Sanhou from Di Yao was the one closest to the source of the incident. In the previous battle, because she was responsible for the outer defense, she was swept in front of her eyes by the supernatural light containing high-level energy, which temporarily reduced her vision.
So she approached Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing, but did not see the "monster" confronting Shen Yijing in the dark corner.
Like a shark smelling blood, the former Duma fighter realized a new target had entered his attack range. This new target looked easier to capture than the two before him, leaving an impression of "lower defense level" in his half-beast mind.
He opened his upper and lower jaws, which could no longer be aligned, and turned to bite the Diyao player.
He was greeted by a green supernatural whip.
“Bang!”
The elemental creature changed into a new form in Jiang Yunu's hand. The long whip lashed towards the side of the mutated contestant's cheek, and then wrapped around his jaw that protruded forward due to the mutation.
"If you can't do it, I'll do it for you." Jiang Yunu said to Shen Yijing, holding the whip handle with one hand.
