Chapter 85
Pangolin's righteous proposal of "fighting a fake match" silenced the other two people present.
Hao Zhizhi: "...You have some ideas, little classmate."
The pangolin chuckled and drank the soup silently.
Yu Tu held the homemade soup bowl in his hand, looking thoughtful.
"You're not really tempted, are you?" Hao Zhizhi turned her head to look at Yu Tu and said earnestly, "Although I guess the military training ground was most likely built by seniors, they must have considered your idea."
We knew from the opening ceremony that their seniors were just having fun. They went to great lengths to organize the Hunter and the Prey event. How could they let them take advantage of the situation by having a fake competition?
"Zhizhi." Yu Tu suddenly asked, "Are there only four areas for military training?"
Because the rainforest area was the most suitable for him to hide, and he wanted to eliminate as many freshmen as possible, he did not set foot in other areas. He learned which areas they were from the freshman group.
"Rainforest, rocky beaches, glaciers, and deserts." Hao Zhizhi listed them one by one. "There are really only four areas."
"No." Yu Tu pulled a branch from the burning flame and wrote and drew on the place where the fallen leaves were swept. "There are five spiritual attributes, namely gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The rain forest represents wood, the glacier represents water, the desert represents fire, and if the rocky beach represents earth, then what about gold? Why doesn't the metal attribute have a zone?"
In fact, this problem would be easy to notice if there was plenty of time, but it was almost exposed when the hunters first arrived. In the next three hours, they were busy eliminating the freshmen when they didn't understand anything. After the day and night changed, they were chased by the freshmen in a marathon. Even if there was a vague feeling that something was wrong in my mind, it was difficult to calm down and think about it carefully.
Yu Tu and Hao Zhizhi looked at each other and said in unison: "Hidden area!"
The fact that there were only four hunters made the four zones seem quite reasonable, and delayed their noticing that something was amiss.
Yu Tu asked: "What is your spiritual attribute?"
"Earth." Hao Zhizhi understood immediately what he wanted to ask, "Eric is fire, Gu Hongying is gold."
Yu Tu had known Yin Li for a long time before, and although he still didn't understand the formation, he still knew some basic rules: "Then let's find someone with water attribute to try it out first?"
The pangolin next to him tapped the bowl quietly.
Yu Tu stopped talking to Hao Zhizhi and turned to ask, "What's wrong? Is your tail hurting again?"
"No." Pangolin scratched his head with his claws in embarrassment. "If I am not restricted to being a human, I am a water-type."
Yu Tu: “…Ah?”
He was surprised but quickly responded: "Are you a mutant pangolin?"
When he was in the small classroom of the Plant Tribe, Elder Di Xiu also taught him about other monster tribes, including the pangolin. Pangolins are one of the more prosperous monster tribes, and are generally earth-based, with a few occasionally changing to water or metal.
Pangolin nodded.
The identities of hunters and prey are inherently contradictory, and it is extremely difficult to find a "prey" that is willing to cooperate with the hunters. The four hunters can only gather four spiritual attributes, and they were originally worried about where to find the water attribute, but now the problem has been solved.
"How about——" Hao Zhizhi suggested, "give it a try?"
Yu Tu made the decision: "Okay!"

Gu Hongying finished chewing one-third of the energy bar. The aroma of nuts and sugar filled his mouth, and he felt... even hungrier!
He used his elbow to nudge the leader who was lying half dead beside him: "Brother, do you have anything to eat?"
"Military training lasts at most a month. Don't think of taking my backpack." The leader was as exhausted as he was. "I want to eat something hot. I'm starving..."
"Military training lasts a month at most, but it doesn't have to be a month." Gu Hongying was optimistic and confident. "Maybe after three or four days and nights, you will all be eliminated by us."
Leader: "...You are still surrounded by us."
"You can't eliminate me now." Gu Hongying squinted his eyes in the dim light and deliberately lowered his voice to create a gloomy atmosphere. "But you... As long as I tap you lightly, you will be eliminated!"
Leader: “…”
He silently moved two centimeters to the side.
Gu Hongying was extremely hungry and was trying to find something to do to divert his attention. Just as he was about to continue his threats, he suddenly felt something pulling at the corner of his clothes.
Gu Hongying: “……?”
He got up in confusion and saw a fist-sized hole appeared on the ground next to his waist. A claw with light brown scales stretched out from it, and then a pangolin poked its head out. He looked left and right, and then fixed his eyes on Gu Hongying.
The pangolin poked its head out of the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, whispering, "Finally, I dug in the right place!"
"Wait a minute."
The pangolin pulled out a watch from the hole behind it, first pulled its front legs out of the hole, and then, with most of its body in the hole, it began to type.
Gu Hongying was puzzled: "Do we know this classmate?"
"I don't know you." Pangolin said confidently, "Otherwise why would I have been looking for you for so long!"
Gu Hongying became more and more confused: "We don't know each other, why are you looking for me?"
Pangolin said: "My perfect military training partner...Ah no, Yu Tu is looking for you."
"Didn't Tu Tu send me a message when he came to look for me?"
Gu Hongying raised his wrist in surprise, and then he realized that when he was running fast in the chase with the leader, his watch had hit something and he had set it to reject messages.
Gu Hongying quickly changed the settings, replied to the message, and sent the location.
About five minutes later, he suddenly heard some movement in the tree above his head. Gu Hongying, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them and saw Eric sitting on the tree with a sneer on his face, and next to him was a snow-white ball of fur that looked like a rabbit. A wilted little tea sapling was tied to the ball's long ears.
———It looks a lot like a hostage-taking scene.
Eric jumped down from the tree, climbed up decisively, and pulled away the leader who was out of trouble.
The fallen leaves that had been silent on the ground for who knows how long were flying around, blocking Eric's distorted expression when he landed - his feet were numb from jumping from a great height.
"Tsk." Hao Zhizhi used her ears to roll Yu Tu Miao down the tree, her movements as light as floating clouds, "You are dying to save face but suffering in the end."
Her whisper was not heard by the crowd below. Everyone only saw Eric standing there with his arms folded after landing, his face with green eyes full of pride.
But soon, his arrogance was broken.
In addition to "hunters" and "prey" in the rainforest, there are also real dangers, such as poisonous spiders, king cobras, and red fire ants... It's just that they have not encountered these dangers before, but now it seems that the danger has been triggered. These things are cruising out from the darkness, trying to give these freshmen gathered together an unforgettable memory.
All kinds of dangers came, and everyone's first reaction was to run! The crisis was quickly triggered. Whether it was flying or escaping on the spot, the rain forest at night was no longer quiet. The noise made by a large group of people was as loud as a bulldozer.
Yu Tu's human form couldn't run fast, not to mention his prototype. Hao Zhizhi didn't let him land. Her pair of soft long ears continued to hold him as he ran wildly. The little tea sapling faced the pair of vertical pupils behind him that glowed faintly in the dark and were sometimes far away and sometimes near. He felt dizzy and had no desire to live.
The consequences of having too many people were quite obvious. When everyone was running like crazy, someone accidentally stepped on a patch of poisonous goose cream fungi, which unscientifically contained rose red goose cream, green goose cream and other highly poisonous goose cream fungi. The person who fell into the fungus group was eliminated on the spot before he could even shout. Some people ran to the junction of the rainforest and the rocky beach and fell into the water, and were killed on the spot by electric eels...
All creatures flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and living in the woods were awakened by their movements and joined the encirclement and suppression army.
The "xxx has been eliminated" that kept refreshing on the watch was accompanied by the heart-wrenching screams of the freshmen:
“Who is so sick to mix animals from different rainforests together? Haven’t you considered that the ecological environment does not allow it!!!”
"Chase me to see if the leopard behind me is a classmate or a rainforest creature!!"
"Ahhhhhhh! Help!!!"
…
Amidst the continuous screams of terror, the unlucky ones who had managed to survive ran from the edge of the rainforest into the rocky beach. As they were running, they met a group of people with a huge cloud of dust behind them, obviously coming from the direction of the desert. The survivors in the rainforest heard the sound of arthropods crawling on the rocks.
The two sides looked at each other.
The two sides looked at each other again.
The people who escaped from the rainforest were followed by swarms of mosquitoes, giant centipedes, poisonous spiders, king cobras, and other creatures;
The people who escaped from the desert were followed by creatures including but not limited to sun spiders, horned vipers, and swarms of scorpions that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Yu Lin Fang: “…”
Desert Fang: “…”
Both sides emitted sharp explosions.
