Chapter 17: Interception



The maple tree burned brightly all night long, dispelling much of the coldness nearby. Looking down from the sky, the entire maple tree looked like a bonfire lit by humans. Countless people sat around it to rest, with undercurrents surging between them, but no one took the initiative to attack.

Just when it was dawn, Bai Xing felt her heart skip a beat while she was still in a daze. This strange feeling made her wake up instantly. She activated her ability to sense her surroundings, but there was no unusual movement. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned her head to look in the direction of the maple tree. The sun had not risen yet, and only the light of the maple tree illuminated the surroundings. Many people gathered here, and many of them wanted to stay and see what was going on after discovering that the maple tree was burning.

Bai Xing noticed that there was a group of people questioning people everywhere, but her skills were not enough to cover that area, so she could not understand their communication.

For some reason, she felt very uneasy and always felt that something bad was going to happen. Perhaps she had stared for too long, and someone in the team suddenly raised his head and looked in her direction.

Bai Xing couldn't see clearly because she was far away, but for some reason she could sense it, just like a sixth sense. She followed her body's instinct and instantly hid herself behind the wall of the building.

She closed her eyes, her heart beating rapidly.

It was a very strange feeling, not a heartbeat, but a palpitation, as if she had met her own kind, but her intuition told her that they could not meet each other, otherwise, one would devour the other until death.

She had a hunch that she had been discovered. Although she was not in a battle this time, the sense of crisis was very strong.

She chose to trust her intuition and immediately got up and left. Shortly after she left, the group came to where she had been before and saw the corpses of countless mutant sparrows on the third floor.

The leader asked a smaller man next to him, "Are you sure you're feeling in this direction?"

"Yes, that must be right. Although I couldn't see clearly at the time, I felt that he and I looked into each other's eyes for a moment."

"Can you feel where she is now?"

"Let me try." The little man closed his eyes hesitantly, felt for a while, pointed in the direction Bai Xing left, and said with certainty, "She is fleeing quickly in that direction. Let's chase her. I must get her. I feel that if I can get her, my skills can be upgraded a lot!" His voice was full of excitement.

Similarly, Bai Xing could also sense their group. If she guessed correctly, this group of people should have arrived the earliest yesterday, and they should have entered the campus at the same place as Bai Xing. Then there should be a player in their team with similar skills as her, who keenly discovered her whereabouts and the traces left by the fire extinguishing. Following her traces, they deduced that she was the third party on the field during the battle. Now that the mutant Blood Maple is dead, they suspect that Bai Xing took advantage of the situation.

She had originally planned to continue fighting and honing herself today, but plans could not keep up with changes. The sense of crisis brought about by this time made her unwilling to stay any longer. While she was rushing towards the Doomsday Train, she sent a message to Xu Dao.

"Where?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Dao replied quickly.

"I'm in some trouble. Can you come and help me?" Bai Xing had seen Xu Dao's skills. Although he didn't have the clean, neat and standardized skills trained in the police academy, he was very fast, accurate and ruthless in a fight. Every punch hit the flesh, and every hit was where it hurt the most. She just didn't know if he was willing to come and help. After all, this kind of troublesome matter was somewhat dangerous.

I don’t know if Xu Dao has unlocked the skill. I hope he has. I also hope that if we really meet that team, they will be afraid of him.

"Okay." Xu Dao agreed quickly.

Bai Xing and he initiated location sharing. Xu Dao was not far from her. After communicating, the two adjusted their routes, first gathering and then retreating to the Doomsday Train together.

The pursuers behind were chasing very closely. When they noticed that Bai Xing had changed her route, they immediately approached along a shorter path.

Bai Xing felt a little angry. This group of people came with bad intentions and were pursuing her relentlessly. She had to get rid of them when she had the chance to avoid future troubles.

She did not feel any kindness from the person behind her with whom she could sense each other. She only felt murder. Although she came here, she was essentially a law-abiding citizen and was unwilling to choose killing to make quick money like others.

However, I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will kill him. In the end times, the Virgin Mary and the fool will die the fastest. She will not be soft-hearted.

Even though Bai Xing was running very fast, the person behind her was still getting closer and closer.

Bai Xing frowned, opened the map and made a quick estimate in her mind. Oh no, at this speed, she would not have time to get back to the train.

All right.

Bai Xing stopped and breathed slightly. Xu Dao saw her stop and stopped too.

"What's wrong?" Xu Dao was puzzled.

"It's too late. We might as well take a break and prepare to start the battle. We will start the battle as soon as they come over and not give them a chance to breathe." Bai Xing was very calm. Her skills were activated naturally and her brain was working at a rapid speed.

There were five people on the other side, and even with her strengthened body, they were still closing the distance between her and Bai Xing. There were only two possibilities: one, their physical strengthening was higher than Bai Xing's, and two, one of them had speed skills or speed props.

Speaking of props, Bai Xing suddenly remembered that there were two more props in the mutant blood maple spoils that she and Qin Xi traded, and she had not checked them carefully yet.

【Material——Maple Heart】

【Material level: third level】

[Effect: The material can be integrated into weapons. After integration, the weapon will add a poison effect when it damages other life forms. At the same time, the weapon's flexibility is greatly increased, the weapon gains a self-repair effect, and the weapon's attacks gain a wood attribute effect.]

However, a third-level item requires a third-level weapon to be integrated, and her dagger is still at level two. Upgrading it to level three requires a full thousand gold coins. She only has 160 gold coins on her now, so she can't use this item at all.

Without further hesitation, she turned to the next prop.

[Props: Blood Maple Leaves*5]

[Item Level: Star]

[Effect: The blood maple leaf will continuously absorb the vitality of the living being it is attached to. Once fully absorbed, the leaf will explode, releasing countless tiny blood maple seeds. The living being it is attached to will be parasitized, drained of its vitality, and eventually transformed into a blood maple tree. Note that this item is a one-time item; if it is removed after being attached, it loses its effect.]

Bai Xing took a deep breath. This item was too powerful. She just didn't know how long it would take to absorb life force continuously. If it took a long time, it would be useless and would be easily discovered and taken away.

This was the first time she had obtained a star-level item. If the star-level effect was already so strong, she suddenly began to look forward to how daunting Yu and Ji's items would be.
