Chapter 120 Peashooter
Jiang Ning just took a step forward.
"Rustle, rustle—"
There was a commotion in the ruins below.
She stopped and released her senses to explore, her sight wandering through the surrounding reinforced concrete.
[There are aliens, and more than one. ]
Feeling Jiang Ning's voice in their minds, the other members understood and turned on their sense defense and entered a combat state.
Those with strong superpowers dispersed consciously, protecting the rest of them in the middle.
There was a continuous rustling sound from deep underground, but there was no trace of aliens.
"Jiang Ning..." Simon suddenly called her.
Jiang Ning looked sideways at her.
Simon pointed to a half-collapsed wall in front of him.
A brown-yellow multi-legged arthropod crawled out from inside.
It was very large, with 15 abdominal plates on its body, each of which was overlapped. Both sides of its head were covered with pseudo-compound eyes composed of a large number of simple eyes. In addition, each of its abdominal plates had a pair of slender legs, and it relied on these legs to crawl.
Jiang Ning recognized it at a glance.
SS-level alien, centipede.
It is a nocturnal carnivorous arthropod that often lives in dark and humid places, especially under rocks and logs.
The centipede is agile and is an extremely good predator. It is also one of the very few aliens that eat people.
Once bitten by its fangs, the venom will be injected into the body of the prey through its teeth, thus killing the 'prey'.
The centipede is also extremely sensitive to the environment. Once it senses danger, its legs will be broken off from the body, giving priority to escaping the body.
Jiang Ning stood there without moving.
In just a moment, several centipedes emerged from under the surrounding concrete blocks. In addition to the centipedes, there were even a number of S-level alien beasts, the woodlice.
Everyone immediately entered a state of combat.
Seeing that the number of alien beasts around them was increasing.
Have they entered the nest of some insect tribe?
After getting rid of Cheng Yao, the main fighting force on their side was only S-class psychics.
"You guys deal with the woodlice, and I'll take care of the remaining centipedes." Jiang Ning told everyone, and rushed out with the little fat man.
Si Yuan was very tactful and didn't go up to cause trouble for her, but found a relatively safe place to stay.
Before Jiang Ning left, she left a lotus leaf for each logistics assistant to protect themselves.
While the others were still studying how to use the lotus leaf, Si Yuan had already skillfully wrapped himself in the lotus leaf.
In the live broadcast camera of Semir Academy.
The audience was a little bit embarrassed to see a group of human-shaped meat dumplings suddenly appearing on the screen.
If they heard correctly, the girl from the plant department said that she would deal with the centipedes.
She took one person out.
How would she deal with so many double S monsters?
In the eyes of everyone, the luck of their Semir Academy was really bad. Wei Shengyu's team searched for three or four hours and didn't see a single hair. Then, after their main combat force lost contact, their team was attacked by high-level monsters.
Except for two virtual high 3S+ mental powers, there was no combat force in the group of 47 people.
It would have been better if their two teams had been switched at the beginning. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and the arrow cannot be turned back once it is shot.
Semir Academy is afraid that it will suffer a heavy blow this time.
However, Semir Academy has given many surprises since the beginning of this year. Maybe they still have some trump cards to save their lives.
Some of the audience looked at the team leader and teacher of Semir Academy silently. They were all nervous, and the students participating in the competition were even more nervous. They
didn't look like they were acting.
Maybe... they are really just beautiful on the outside but not on the inside.
However, what the audience didn't know was that Semir Academy's teachers actually felt a sense of premature exposure after seeing Jiang Ning raise his hand to summon the lotus leaf.
This was much earlier than they expected Jiang Ning's ability to be revealed.
But in their current situation, if Jiang Ning didn't take action, Semir Academy would really suffer heavy losses.
"You don't have to worry so much. Now all the colleges have entered the competition. Except for the audience, other colleges still don't know her strength." Feng Yanzi comforted the teacher next to her nonchalantly.
The reason why they didn't want to expose Jiang Ning's ability so early was mainly because they were afraid that she would be collectively targeted by other colleges at the beginning, but now that the competition has started for a while, it would be difficult for everyone to target her.
The other teachers thought so too, and finally felt relieved.
The expression suddenly changed from worry to faint expectation.
"?" The audience was stunned by their inexplicable change of emotions.
What's going on? Why did they suddenly change their expressions collectively?
Could it be...
The audience's eyes returned to the live broadcast screen without blinking, for fear of missing a second of the shot.
The camera in the main audience seats switched between multiple colleges. Except for the top colleges, the images of other colleges were often incomplete, and the teams of Semir College were quite scattered, so everyone flocked to Semir's exclusive channel to watch.
Qiu Yueli was originally broadcasting the shot of Jiang Ning rushing into the swarm of centipedes alone.
With a casual glance, the number of online people in the live broadcast room soared wildly. After just a while, the number of people exceeded 400,000+. Usually, the number of people watching their Red Star plus a few nearby numbered stars was maintained at around 200,000+.
This suddenly doubled.
Qiu Yueli only paused for two seconds before coming back to her senses and continued to explain the Semir screen.
In the stadium.
Jiang Ning always remembered not to blow up the alien beast completely. The organizing committee essentially wanted to recycle the alien beast's body. If the members destroyed the alien beast's body into pieces, it would no longer be worth anything.
There were several teams that exchanged some alien remains for points. In the end, the organizing committee didn't get any alien corpses and lost a lot of resources.
Therefore, a new rule was introduced in the federation competition that only complete alien corpses can be counted for points.
To ensure this rule, Jiang Ning couldn't use many plants, such as flame orchids and peppers.
Jiang Ning thought about it and decided to summon pea seedlings.
It can restrain the movement of centipedes. Although the disadvantage is that it still needs to be hit again, it is a more conservative way of playing. She doesn't have to worry about the plants accidentally hurting other members of their team, nor does she worry about the attack being too strong and resulting in no points.
Jiang Ning glanced around. The centipedes were moving very fast. She needed to move quickly.
The little fat man knew that it was time for him to use his ability. He released his domain and applied it to Jiang Ning, always keeping a distance of about half a meter from her.
Jiang Ning raised her hand, and her hands sensed and released, summoning a pea seedling half a person's height. The
pea seedling was full of bean pods.
With Si Yuan leading the way, the audience was not too moved by Jiang Ning's ability to use mental power. At most, they sighed that Semill Academy really had the means to restore them to 3S+.
So far, no one has noticed anything.
It is not unusual for plant-based esper to summon plants. If there is something to say, it is that Jiang Ning summons plants faster than ordinary plant-based esper and the plants grow better.
It is a pity that Huo Changjun and the other two commentators are paying attention to the group of people in the King's College. Otherwise, they can see that when Jiang Ning just released the perception, the white light on his body was very bright and pure, even more intense than those 3S who were praised as the proud sons of heaven.
The live broadcast of Zijing Media depends entirely on Qiu Yueli's commentary. Qiu Yueli saw Jiang Ning use pea pods during the freshman competition, so she did not introduce this plant in detail.
As for the new viewers who had just entered the live broadcast room, none of them realized how amazing the power of this pea pod was.
...
Jiang Ning, who was in the ruins, adjusted his aim and controlled his mental power.
"Puff--"
The first pea pod exploded and quickly shot towards the centipede not far away.
There were three peas in a pea pod. Jiang Ning controlled it with distraction and could attack three centipedes at the same time.
The moment the peas touched the centipede, a silk net with a weak electric current was ejected.
The silk net covered the centipede's entire body,
making it unable to move.
The little fat man looked directly at the centipede in front of him. Seeing that it was trying to break off its legs and escape the control of the silk net, he immediately reminded Jiang Ning.
"Sister, it wants to escape!"
Jiang Ning heard this, raised her other hand, and threw out a light blade, cutting across the centipede.
The double S monster in front of her was like an ant, especially now that it was controlled by the electric current network, it was almost easy for Jiang Ning to deal with it.
"Sister, there is another one!" The little fat man pointed to another place.
Jiang Ning released the light blade again.
She released her superpowers with both hands at the same time, controlling the pea pod with one hand and throwing the light blade with the other hand. The attack was fast and accurate, and almost no "bullets" missed.
The teachers of Semill Academy who were watching outside looked at this scene with satisfaction.
Jiang Ning's marks in the school's shooting class were close to perfect. Even Admiral Cui Lai Te praised her shooting talent. After a month of special training, she was able to shoot with both hands.
In the live broadcast of Zijing Media.
Those who had watched Jiang Ning's freshman competition already knew that pea pods were just her basic exercises, and she had many powerful plants that she had not yet used.
But for those who came into contact with Jiang Ning for the first time, Jiang Ning's ability completely subverted their cognition.
Plants can attack aliens! And the power is so strong!
Is this the plant system they are familiar with?
If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Ning's entry data was 100% marked with plant-based abilities, and now that everyone saw her summon plants with their own eyes, they would probably doubt the authenticity of her abilities.
The audience stared at the Star Brain in their hands in amazement, and swallowed their saliva after a long while.
Jiang Ning continued, her mental power was like free, not only did it not weaken, but it had a tendency to continue to strengthen.
Later on, she seemed to feel that attacking three centipedes at once was not enough, she split the released mental power into two streams, and immediately two bean pods on the pea seedlings exploded at the same time, and six peas shot out in a row.
After the electric current net restrains the centipedes, they will break free within thirty seconds, so Jiang Ning needs to complete the second attack on them within thirty seconds.
Jiang Ning's high-intensity attack lasted for fifteen minutes. When the pod on a pea seedling was empty, she summoned the second one to replace it.
About ten minutes later, the number of centipedes around was visibly reduced.
Next, it was just a matter of finishing the work.
