Chapter 86
Jiang Yunu said it lightly.
It was as if the mechanical elemental beasts were radishes in the fields behind the mountain in Songnan. If you encountered one, you would just pick a few and give them as a gift to the students from the same school who had been working hard in the fields behind the mountain for a day.
Xie Shi: “…”
Young Master Xie felt that Jiang Yunu was bragging, but at this moment today, he also clearly realized that the two of them were teammates, and they were his only teammates at the moment, so just as Jiang Yunu resisted the urge to tease him, he also controlled his tongue and did not mock Jiang Yunu's "big talk".
Not to mention that when Jiang Yunu was talking to him, several more students entered from Channel D on the side. They were the "fleas" who had rushed out of the box before... Oh, sorry, they were the reserve students of the "Flea" Academy.
The entrance to the practice competition venue is at the foot of the mountain. Although it is divided into multiple channels ABCD, the channels are not scattered around the mountain. Overall, they are still divided into one area, and the distance between them is about double the spacing of traditional runway tracks.
Several students from the "Flea" group were running quickly in the corridor before, and they seemed to be running much faster than Jiang Yunu and Xie Shi. Unexpectedly, they were a beat slower than Jiang Yunu and Xie Shi when preparing for the competition and passing the gate. They only came out from the intersection on the D channel after the two of them entered.
Those people happened to hear what Jiang Yunu said.
Someone immediately shouted at Jiang Yunu, "That's hard to say. What if we give extra points to our own school first?"
After saying that, several people ran away.
Jiang Yunu and Xie Shi only saw the "Flea" candidates rushing into the nearby woods like a gust of wind. They had no intention of judging which direction to go. They also vaguely heard a few "Woohoo~"
"Yoho~"
Xie Shi: “…” What’s wrong with you!
Jiang Yunu: “…” What a lively opponent!
With such an opponent around, Xie Shi would never complain about Jiang Yunu making scoring sound easy in front of others, and he would never show off to other schools.
The surroundings became quiet because the "fleas" ran away. The wind blew through the woods, causing the grass on the ground that was as high as a person's calf to sway, and the grass stems and leaves intertwined, making a rustling sound.
This kind of white noise, which usually brings peace of mind to people, makes Xie Shi feel uneasy when he hears it at this moment when mechanical elemental beasts are lurking around at any time.
"You said we should go meet up with the school team first." Young Master Xie, who had a bit of a hair on his back, took the initiative to talk to Jiang Yunu again. "You're right about the direction and idea, but what are the details? Where should we go next?"
Jiang Yunu said, "I know what's going on. Follow me."
Xie Shi subconsciously followed Jiang Yunu and started walking in a certain direction. After they walked for a while, he suddenly felt strange again.
"Why are you so sure?" he muttered. "Do you have clairvoyance and can see where our team is on the mountain from the foot of the mountain?"
Jiang Yunu noticed that Xie Shi was talkative today. From the moment they were notified to go on stage as backup students and left the audience until now, Young Master Xie had been talking abnormally much.
Jiang Yunu suddenly realized that Xie Shi might be nervous.
She once again looked at Master Xie with a somewhat curious look, which in turn prompted him to sharply ask, "...What are you looking at?"
Jiang Yunu: "Nothing."
Nervousness makes people talkative, so even if there is only one person around them whom they don't like, they can't help but chat with the other person.
Jiang Yunu was still half-focused on Zhou Jinxue. After she officially entered the room, she couldn't help but think about the situation with her senior. This prompted her to answer Xie Shi directly, "Don't worry. I don't have clairvoyance, but before we left the box, I checked Teacher Lei's monitor."
The teacher monitoring screen, as the name suggests, is specially used for off-site teachers to grasp the movements of their students in real time. However, it is not as high-tech as what Jiang Yunu saw in the movies of the previous world. It does not have the real-time video transmission function. It is said that the dynamic probe with high-definition camera function and the ability to protect against close-range supernatural power release is relatively expensive. Even Songnan will not use it in primary school competitions, let alone equip each student with one.
Therefore, on the monitoring screens of teachers outside the venue, teachers can only see the dynamic coordinates transmitted back through the players' badges.
Xie Shi had an impression of that screen, but the incident happened suddenly. When he heard the news that Zhou Jinxue was eliminated, his attention was completely focused on the coordinates where Zhou Jinxue disappeared, and he had no time to care about the coordinates of other members of the school team.
"You remembered that screen?" It was hard to tell whether Master Xie's tone was mixed with amazement or not.
Jiang Yunu kept walking forward while talking to him, and did not stop when answering him.
“Not only did I remember it,” she said, “I also saw the direction the school team was moving.”
Enge's school team initially gathered halfway up the mountain. When Zhou Jinxue's coordinate signal disappeared, Jiang Yunu saw that the members of the school team stayed in the same position for several minutes. Then, the coordinate signals of a few people left the team and scattered around, perhaps to conduct an investigation or for other things, while the remaining concentrated signals began to move towards the nearest safe zone.
First find your own school team, and you will know what happened to Senior Zhou.
Jiang Yunu moved forward steadily according to the monitoring screen he remembered.
For some people, it is difficult to match the flat screen image with the three-dimensional real scene. But for her, this transformation from flat to three-dimensional seems effortless. The weeds that are as high as people's calves and the trees with dense branches do not disturb her direction.
Xie Shi followed Jiang Yunu and saw that Jiang Yunu knew which direction to go in the woods without any judgment. He first recalled the previous "fleabags" in his mind - they also moved forward without hesitation, but gave people a completely different feeling from Jiang Yunu.
The "flea" students walk forward without judgment, and the first impression they give people is that they are reckless and rush forward without knowing the direction.
Jiang Yunu, however, does not give people this kind of tough and rough feeling.
Jiang Yunu gave people the feeling that... she knew the entire terrain of the back mountain by heart, as if this back mountain did not belong to Songnan, but to her territory.
But how could that be possible? Xie Shi couldn't explain where this strange sense of déjà vu came from. He continued to follow Jiang Yunu with a hint of confusion in his heart.
As they walked, Xie Shi noticed that Jiang Yunu's pace slowed down.
First it slowed down, then slowly stopped.
Xie Shi subconsciously asked, "Are we there yet?"
He looked around, trying to find any trace of his school team.
Jiang Yunu said, "I met him."
Xie Shi didn't react at first: "What happened?"
Jiang Yunu habitually wanted to grasp an object with a slender steel handle, but she touched nothing. Then she remembered that this was reality, not her game.
"I met the seniors on the school team as a welcome gift," she said.
The sound of the wind in the forest suddenly intensified.
The grass on the left began to shake, and a vibration came from the soft mountain mud under my feet, and the vibration became more and more intense along with the sound of the shaking grass.
A mechanical elemental beast suddenly appeared from the bushes on the left!
Even if Xie Shi was slow to react, he understood what was happening when he saw the sharp claws of the metal beast poking out from the grass. Jiang Yu Nu was closer to the steel beast than he was. He frantically searched his mind for information on how to fight it, while shouting a warning: "Be careful!"
Not only was Jiang Yunu not careful, she went straight towards the mechanical elemental beast!
Jiang Yunu's movements were so fast that Xie Shi couldn't see clearly. He felt that Jiang Yunu was still close to him a second ago, and was facing sideways towards the mechanical elemental beast that came out of the grass. But he just blinked an eye, and Jiang Yunu seemed to disappear from his side out of thin air, and there was no trace of each other between him and the metal beast.
Could it be that Jiang Yunu, an earth-type psychic, was able to burrow into the ground in front of the mechanical elemental beast? Xie Shi thought in disbelief.
When he blinked again, he found Jiang Yunu's figure appeared above the mechanical elemental beast.
She was incredibly agile, and she easily climbed onto the tree closest to the mechanical elemental beast and squatted on a branch near the bottom.
Jiang Yunu stood on the tree and looked down, confirming her guess - this was a "pangolin" type earth elemental beast.
The familiar green crystal core was firmly embedded in the place she was familiar with. The artificial crystal core had the texture of the bottom of a green beer bottle.
This kind of mechanical elemental beast, specially used for competitions among primary school students, seemed not as smart as the ones she had encountered in the game. When the target in front of it changed from two to one and a living person "disappeared" in front of it, the metal beast did not even have a trace of suspicion. It just shook its head on the spot, then moved its eyes and stared at Xie Shi in front of it.
Xie Shi saw Jiang Yunu on the branch turned his head towards him and mouthed to him: Don't move.
Do not move?
Really don't move?!
Xie Shi wanted to confirm again whether Jiang Yunu had really given him the action order, but time was running out, and the metal monster in front of him started moving!
The pangolin-shaped mechanical elemental beast came straight towards him, stomping its four legs hard on the ground, causing the ground beneath his feet to tremble.
Xie Shi gritted his teeth and thought: If I am knocked away by this mechanical elemental beast, I will make my mother sue Jiang Yunu until he loses everything!
Although he didn't know what was the point of letting a poor guy lose everything!
But Jiang Yunu's meager property was still saved.
A pangolin-shaped mechanical earth elemental beast, with a crystal core like the bottom of a beer bottle embedded in its forehead. When it was about to run in front of Xie Shi, Xie Shi suddenly discovered that there was a line connected to the opponent's forehead.
It was a thread emitting a luminous green light, wrapped around the crystal core of the mechanical elemental beast, like a simple loop made of rope, just stuck on the protruding outer wall of the crystal core, trapping the crystal core in the noose.
This was a supernatural power line, the end of the loop pointing directly to the branch where Jiang Yunu was, and she grabbed it in her hand. The metal beast was tethered unconsciously, still running forward. Jiang Yunu used her supernatural power to condense the line, which was extremely tough. She stepped on the branch and leaped deep into the woods behind her.
The energy injected into the crystal core in a certain amount has made the crystal core loose. Under the action of the two forces pulling on each other, there was only a slight sound. The mechanical elemental beast rushed to Xie Shi, and suddenly maintained the posture of raising its two front paws high, and did not move.
Its crystal core was pulled away from its forehead, and the green crystal core flew into the sky and was thrown into the air.
Xie Shi and the mechanical elemental beast standing in front of him exchanged glances, and seeing that there was only a hole left on the other's forehead, he suddenly shuddered.
