Three days later, less than thirty groups remained.
"It's inhuman! We're always on the go, and we have to dodge those poisonous plants and animals."
"Absolutely, that's crazy."
"What idiot designed this?! Ah! There's a bear trap!!! My leg!"
Everyone was cursing and complaining. This competition was too cruel, and they were afraid that the teams wouldn't be able to fight, so they drastically reduced the area where they could move.
What's the difference between this and running from the poison gas?
If you are not in the designated area for ten minutes, you will be eliminated.
The vast jungle has shrunk to a mere 10,000 square meters of usable space.
For several days, everyone was on the move, and they couldn't find all the herbs needed for the medicine.
The group of four were rushing along when Xia Shizhao's mental energy was suddenly attacked. "Wait, something's not right."
Liu Ruxuan and the others suddenly stopped and looked around warily.
Xia Shizhao frowned in confusion, "Why is it gone again? Someone just attacked my mental energy."
"Still have 3 seconds of mental energy??"
Liu Ruxuan was completely numb. Wasn't 3S supposed to be a once-in-a-century phenomenon? How come there seem to be quite a few people with 3S mental power after coming out here?
Xia Shizhao shook his head, "No, it doesn't seem like mental power, it's very similar."
"Huh? Could it be some kind of animal?"
Chi Xin stroked her chin and guessed in the direction of the strange.
Beep beep beep—
The bracelets on all four people beeped simultaneously.
They didn't have time to think anymore and started running again.
Xia Shizhao couldn't help but curse twice, "Damn this competition mode, they're treating us like dogs."
"We're worse off than dogs; we're like donkeys pulling a millstone."
Gu Ke was so out of breath that she almost fainted on the spot.
He's running too fast! Help!
"No, I can't run anymore! Why do I feel like I'm getting faster and faster?"
Their wristbands beeped as they ran. Xia Shizhao thought for a moment, then picked Gu Ke up and said, "Stop hiding your strength. Just run as fast as you can. If they get here first and hide nearby, it'll be troublesome."
"OK!"
Everyone mustered their strength and headed towards their final destination.
After the beeping of the bracelets stopped, Xia Shizhao and the others quickly found a suitable place to hide. They glanced at the area where they could move around and found it pitifully small. Even if there were twenty more groups, there would still be 80 people.
Moreover, Xia Shizhao is not the only one who can use mental energy detection. If an opponent with the same level of mental energy appears, it means that they may be detected if they make a move.
The only thing to do is patiently hide it.
In this competition format, mental-based physical attacks should be avoided if possible; otherwise, Xia Shizhao alone could easily defeat most of them.
Gu Ke looked at the dark black patch at her feet that didn't match the color of the soil, dug it out with her hand, and then stared at the box in deep thought.
I opened it and took a look.
Hey, a repair potion.
If they had said so earlier, they wouldn't have gone through all that trouble searching for herbs. Do these people know how troublesome it is to steal things from monkeys?
It would have been better not to provoke the monkeys, but they've caused a lot of trouble. You can't kill them, since they're the ones who are the robbers.
They didn't know if the indiscriminate slaughter would affect the final score, so they shamelessly used a diversionary tactic against these carefree monkeys. The humans and monkeys never met, but they lost more than half of their little robots.
Gu Ke reached out and picked up the medicine, when suddenly she felt a sharp pain that made her gasp. She held her finger up to her eyes and examined it carefully, finding nothing wrong with it.
Is this some kind of ghost?
Xia Shizhao sensed something was wrong with her and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Gu Ke?"
Gu Ke shook her head, not taking it to heart. "I'm fine. I found a bottle of repair potion. Shi Zhao, you can keep it safe."
“Okay.” Xia Shizhao accepted the medicine.
"Bang!"
A bullet was fired from the spot where Liu Ruxuan was hiding.
She jumped up to avoid him and looked at the attacker, Yu Da.
"Hey, you guys haven't been eliminated yet?"
"You weakling weren't eliminated, so how could we be?" The boy with the gun smiled and kept shooting at Liu Ruxuan.
He still had a lot of blood on him.
Xia Shizhao frowned and quickly surveyed his surroundings; only their two teams remained.
Did this group take care of all the other teams?
He's in the same league, a formidable rival.
The thought flashed through his mind in an instant, and his subconscious reaction was to grab Gu Ke and dodge the bullets fired from the other side.
"Hmph, the little mouse has finally stopped hiding?" A clear female voice came from behind the boy.
two?
Xia Shizhao and Liu Ruxuan, who were not far apart, made eye contact.
Some have been hit.
The two simultaneously drew their energy swords and charged at each other.
The other party was no pushover either, and instantly dodged their attacks.
Get close and unleash your ultimate attack.
Wow, that was fast.
Xia Shizhao was instantly approached by the girl opposite him, and he rolled away to dodge her attack.
No, this girl is in the same grade as her.
No, it's not a boy.
Liu Ruxuan and the boy were evenly matched, so she couldn't spare any effort to help Xia Shizhao.
"Interesting, you actually figured it out." The girl licked her lips, her eyes flashing with excitement.
He discarded the energy gun and took out the energy sword.
His fingertips traced the blade, his voice cheerful: "Then let's play a game~"
Oh no, another mentally ill person has arrived.
Xia Shizhao could tell at a glance that this girl's personality was even more twisted than Ye Qiuling's, and shouted, "Gu Ke, surrender now and activate your defense system!"
Gu Ke complied in a daze, and was immediately bound tightly to the ground, unable to move, with the protective shield encircling her.
Their opponents are strong, but it's impossible for them to forfeit. They're determined to win first place in this competition.
However, we cannot let people suffer for nothing.
Chi Xin also clashed with the command team on the other side. The robots attacked each other, and the two of them were also engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
The pharmacist from Yuda University is no longer there; he has been laid off.
Because the person in front of her was too crazy, Xia Shizhao was not sure if he could protect Gu Ke, so he could only ask her to abstain first.
The energy swords aimed their attacks at the areas of the body where blood loss was greatest. With his opponent having far more combat experience, Xia Shizhao inevitably found himself unable to dodge her attacks.
A thin line of blood appeared on his cheek from the sharp blade of the sword.
Xia Shizhao narrowed his eyes. The opposing team was already getting excited, and dragging the game out would be disadvantageous for him.
She deliberately revealed a slight opening, and the opponent quickly attacked her mistake. Just as the blade was about to pierce Xia Shizhao's lower abdomen, she flipped her wrist, and the energy swords collided, producing a piercing hissing sound.
Blood streamed down Xia Shizhao's right forearm as he channeled his spiritual power into a leaf in his left hand and slashed it toward the back of the girl's neck.
The protective shield suddenly popped up, separating the two people.
Due to excessive blood loss, Xia Shizhao felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground. Her forearm, with exposed bone, hurt so much that she unconsciously shed tears.
Liu Ruxuan unleashed astonishing speed, each move deadly, quickly eliminating her opponent. She then ran straight to Gu Ke, retrieved the medicine from her person, and fed it to Xia Shizhao.
His hands trembled slightly: "Damn it, don't faint, don't faint! Quickly drink some blood-boosting medicine!"
The medicine was fed to his mouth, and the bleeding from the most severe wound slowly stopped, the bright red flesh bursting open in the air.
Xia Shizhao's pupils slowly focused, her fingertips trembling from the pain in her forearm.
Liu Ruxuan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the cold sweat that had broken out. "Thank goodness."
In another location, Chi Xin touched her bleeding lip and swollen eyes, then grimaced and kicked the person on the ground with a bruised and swollen face.
You piece of shit, how dare you slap my face!
After sitting on the ground for a while, Xia Shizhao looked at the girl and saw that her breathing was rough, her pupils were slightly dilated, and the veins on her forehead were bulging, which was quite frightening.
He pointed at her, "Ruxuan, what's wrong with her?"
Liu Ruxuan looked at her, a question mark slowly appearing in her mind. She scratched her cheek and said, "Why does it feel a bit like... an alpha's mental energy going berserk?"
Xia Shizhao looked at the girl again, thought about the textbook content, and gasped. This situation was exactly right.
"Damn it! We don't know any mental relaxation techniques!"
The only two omegas present looked at each other in bewilderment.
The girl's companion, recovering from the dizziness, twitched her nose and looked at the girl: "Holy crap, Li Tang! Your mental energy has gone berserk?!"
The girl made a hoarse sound, completely lacking any rationality.
"Teacher! Help me!!!"
The boy screamed in panic, "An alpha with 3s mental strength has gone berserk! Help! Someone's going to die!!!"
Liu Ruxuan picked at her ear in annoyance and kicked him. "Quiet! The competition results are out, and the teachers will be here soon."
The boy cried out in pain, becoming even more distraught: "Aaaaaaah! You have no idea how terrifying Li Tang is when he goes berserk! Help! Teacher, someone come quick!"
As it spoke, it swarmed in another direction like a maggot.
"You good-for-nothing." Liu Ruxuan gave him a disdainful look and helped Xia Shizhao away from this alpha whose mental energy was surging.
I can't control my pheromones, they smell like mint, it's awful.
The teachers who noticed the situation rushed over to them. One of them, carrying a first-aid kit, put on gloves, took out a syringe, and gave Li Tang an injection.
Li Tang's struggling movements gradually ceased.
Xia Shizhao's lips twitched slightly when he realized what it was.
Sedatives.
That dosage would knock out an elephant.
It was used on one person.
It seems that a mental outburst is indeed quite terrifying.
All the teachers breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xia Shizhao and the others with gentle eyes. "Alright, the injured students, come with us to the medical pod."
Xia Shizhao nodded.
