Chapter 127 Eliminating Pegasus College
Jiang Ning and her team’s first target was Pegasus College.
According to the information provided by Qingzhou and her team, there were five second-rate colleges left in the arena, all of which were ahead of them and were about the same distance apart.
Among them, Pegasus College was the weakest of the five colleges. They only had one 3S esper, and his ability was not of attack attribute.
It was not too difficult to deal with them.
The two colleges traveled about 50 kilometers towards the direction of Pegasus College and stopped.
The city’s terrain was complex, and there was a water system running through the city in the middle. The only thing between the two areas was a cross-river bridge in front of them.
After being polluted, the river water was viscous black, and something could be vaguely seen swimming in it.
They are alien beasts that live in the water system. Once people accidentally fall into the river, they will rush over and eat them until there is nothing left.
Jiang Ning raised her hand to signal the team to stop. She looked at the bridge in front of her thoughtfully.
The bridge is undoubtedly the best place to start.
Jiang Ning turned her head and greeted the light boat behind her. Through the perception connection, she said to her: [We will start on this cross-river bridge later.]
[We will set a trap on the bridge in advance. You only need to be responsible for leading the people from Pegasus Academy to this bridge. Then we will encircle them from two directions and cut off their retreat. 】
Jiang Ning's voice slowly entered Qingzhou's mind. Qingzhou thought about Jiang Ning's plan carefully and thought it was feasible, so he replied, "No problem."
After the plan was confirmed, both parties began to prepare for execution.
After Qingzhou left, Simon asked Jiang Ning seriously, "What traps do we need to set?"
"You guys follow me." Jiang Ning glanced at them and led everyone onto the bridge.
She stopped in the middle of the third bridge pier, and the team also stopped.
Jiang Ning didn't keep it a secret anymore. She said, "I will plant some squirting melons here later. When the Pegasus people come to this position, they will inevitably touch them, thus triggering the squirting melons' automatic lock function."
Simon nodded, not quite understanding, and then she immediately realized the key point. She asked, "But if a lot of squirting melon vines suddenly grow on the bridge, the Pegasus people will definitely be alert. What if they don't come and trigger these plants?"
Jiang Ning smiled and looked at Simon, "It depends on you."
"Me?" Simon pointed at himself with a puzzled expression.
"Your ability can create illusions, so can you help me cover up the traces of these squirting melons and prevent them from noticing?" Jiang Ning asked seriously.
"But my illusion ability is limited, I'm afraid I can't fool those double S's." Simon pursed his lips.
"Don't worry." Jiang Ning comforted her.
She had long understood that these illusion abilities could affect people silently. No matter how powerful the ability of the person in the illusion is, or how high the mental strength is, as long as he doesn't notice the abnormality of the illusion, he won't find it.
Seeing that Simon's face was still full of worry, Jiang Ning didn't say anything more. Simon's personality was a bit inferior and strong. If she said something like "This matter is very important, only you can do it" at this time, it would add more pressure to her.
Jiang Ning turned around and said to Cheng Yao, "The environment on the road is not suitable for growing plants, so please call out some soil."
"No problem." Cheng Yao agreed neatly.
As for the rest of the people, Jiang Ning had other plans and arrangements.
She took the fat boy, Cheng Yao and Simon to walk on the bridge.
This cross-river bridge has a span of 30 meters and a length of 1.5 kilometers. There are a total of six lanes in both directions.
This range is very large, and she can't plant all of them.
Fortunately, the melon is a vine plant, and a melon vine can stretch for several meters.
Jiang Ning planted one every five meters or so, and planted about six plants in one row. She planted a total of six rows.
Summoning thirty-six squirting melons at once consumed hundreds of her suns, and even the little fat man was almost exhausted.
"Jiang Ning, is your mental power a bottomless pit? You didn't react at all to such a large consumption?" Cheng Yao asked the curious people outside the field.
They had never seen a plant summon plant, but just looking at the state of the little fat man beside her, they knew that this was considered excessive consumption, right?
Moreover, they had never seen Jiang Ning use mental power supplements. Every time she exchanged supplies, she would use them first before the other people in the team, and she was just stuck, and she didn't keep any for herself.
3S+ mental power is indeed different from other levels of mental power!
After two 3S+ players showed their abilities in this year's federation competition, people started to praise 3S+ on StarNet again. It used to be 3S, and now it's 3S+. The words of praise are almost the same.
But now the audience is more curious about what the "spraying melon" mentioned by Jiang Ning is used for.
...
Jiang Ning had just set up the trap when he heard Qingzhou's voice.
[How is the arrangement going? We found the Pegasus team and are ready to start to force them to your side.] Qingzhou said.
[Okay, let's execute the plan.] Jiang Ning replied to her and led the Semill people to retreat to the bottom of the bridge and wait.
They split into two groups and squatted on both sides.
After about twenty minutes, there was finally some movement on the other side of the bridge.
The Pegasus commander had a lot of curse words in his mind. The people from Saiben Academy were crazy dogs, chasing and biting them all the way.
It's not that their academy is afraid of Saiben, but this group of people really don't care about their lives when they fight!
The Pegasus team was forced to the riverside. The commander looked at the only bridge in front of him and the group of crazy dogs chasing him behind him, and he understood something in an instant.
There must be a trap waiting for them on the bridge.
The third-rate academies have joined forces?
The Pegasus commander narrowed his eyes slightly, and he glanced at the uniforms of the people squatting on the other side.
Is that... Semir Academy?
So Saiben Academy is cooperating with Semir Academy, and wants to compete with their academies for the three places.
Those who can become the main commander have very good brains.
[Everyone, use the flying method, don't go on the bridge.] He gave orders to everyone in Pegasus Academy in his mind.
He was very sure that the bridge could not be crossed.
However, what he could think of, Jiang Ning had also thought of.
Jiang Ning had already scattered dandelion petals in the air in advance. The dandelions combined with pepper seeds will explode when they come into contact.
The team sent out by Pegasus to explore the way was very cautious. They did not choose to fly over the bridge, but chose to fly over the wide river surface.
When the male voice in the lead was halfway through his flight, a tiny white umbrella-shaped fluff suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He was stunned: "What is this?"
Before he could react, the white umbrella-shaped fluff fell on his arm.
Bang—
a huge noise attracted everyone's attention. The explosion was not very powerful, but the man's perception was suddenly interrupted. He fell rapidly from midair with an unstable breath.
His companions around him wanted to save him, but a large amount of white umbrella-shaped fluff also appeared in front of them.
The thing began to explode when it touched the object. People around were constantly injured by it and fell into the river without paying attention.
The audience outside the field only saw Jiang Ning summon a dandelion, and with a gentle blow, all the white fluff floated in the air.
I didn't expect that this small thing would be so powerful.
"I always feel that this plant is very familiar, as if I have seen it in the game!" Such a sentence floated in the barrage, but it was quickly brushed away again.
......
The first boy who fell in was quite responsive. The moment he touched the river water, he used a sensory barrier to wrap his body up so that he would not be attacked again by the monsters in the water.
But the others did not react as quickly as him. The river water was like a huge culture dish. After years of pollution, the monsters in it had already evolved to the 3S level.
The highest among them was only double S level.
The black river water kept moving, and the underwater things were now circling under their feet.
"Ah——"
The next second, a girl was dragged into the river, and the sticky and disgusting liquid kept seeping into her clothes.
She struggled for a while. The underwater monster was fast and fierce. She knew that if she didn't give up her rights and wait for the teleportation on her body to take her out, she would really die here.
The girl suppressed her disgust and fumbled for the elimination button on her body. After finally finding it, she no longer hesitated and pressed the button directly.
A light flashed around her, and the suffocating feeling finally disappeared.
The teacher of Pegasus Academy was waiting at the exit. When he saw the girl come out, he immediately took her to the treatment center for treatment.
In the arena, although the situation of other people was not as bad as this girl, it was not much better.
In the invisible black water, dangerous monsters are circling. This is their territory. Once you enter their world, danger is everywhere.
Several people have already pressed the elimination button and voluntarily gave up their rights.
Seeing this, the remaining people had no choice but to fly back.
"We can't go on the river." The people who came back said to their commander.
The commander thought for a while and said to everyone: "Let's go directly to the bridge."
These two academies are obviously well prepared, and the layout is so sophisticated. A war is inevitable. He doesn't believe that the situation on the bridge will be worse than the situation on the river.
[Turn on the perception barrier. ] The Pegasus commander said to the team.
On the other side.
[They are on the bridge. 】Qingzhou sent a message to Jiang Ning and led the team to follow closely behind.
She wanted to see what kind of trap Jiang Ning had set.
Jiang Ning stared at the progress of the Pegasus team slowly.
Counting from the other side, they have passed the fifth pier, and a little further ahead is the range of the trap they set.
As expected, the Pegasus people did not notice anything unusual, and they were still moving forward.
Their main commander has been vigilant, and his perception has been expanding outward, and soon it collided with Jiang Ning.
The energy contained in this perception is definitely not possessed by ordinary psychics. Semill College has two 3S this year, and the leader on the opposite side is a woman, so the Pegasus main commander naturally thinks that the person on the other side is Wei Shengyu.
Wei Shengyu's ability is puppetry. He looked around and kept an eye on what was happening around him.
Puff.
There were sounds all around, followed by a sound of "ouch" that reached everyone's ears.
The Pegasus commander quickly looked in the direction of the sound, and saw an oval green cucumber hit the elimination device of that member by chance. A white light flashed around him, and he was directly teleported out of the arena.
His brows were furrowed. He didn't even see what had done it, and one of their members was eliminated.
The other side's means of setting traps were quite clever!
The Pegasus commander hesitated a little, wondering whether to continue moving forward. The team members behind him only moved slightly on the bridge.
Puff, puff.
There were two more consecutive noises, and two team members were eliminated.
The Pegasus commander frowned even more tightly. They hadn't even seen the other side, and they had already lost five members in a short time.
Moreover, the thing that just attacked them could ignore their defense barrier and directly hit the elimination button accurately.
The Pegasus commander took a step forward cautiously.
The next second, he seemed to have sensed something in advance, and the perception barrier suddenly turned into a solid object to block in front of him.
The melon stopped spinning in the air less than half a meter away from him, and then fell to the ground.
He bent down and picked up the melon pulp that fell on the ground and took a look.
"Be careful, commander!" Someone in the team shouted to remind him.
The Pegasus commander looked up and saw two or three squirting melons flying towards him. He reacted quickly, sensing and releasing his supernatural powers to block them.
This time he saw clearly that the ones attacking them were plants.
He clenched the melon pulp in his hand, his expression solemn: "There are mutant plants here, and it is preliminarily estimated that they have the ability to be invisible."
"Mutated plants!" The team exclaimed, "How can mutant plants grow in such a place?"
Even if the plants are mutated, they cannot escape the constraints of the land. The urbanization here is so serious that everything is welded with cement and steel bars, which does not meet the conditions for their growth.
"No known mutant plant species have been found to have the ability to be invisible." Another girl in their team said.
Everyone doubted the judgment of the commander.
...
Jiang Ning, who was on the other side of the bridge, leaned against the pillar. Seeing that the people on the bridge had not moved for a long time, he sent a message to Qingzhou again.
[Push them again. 】
When Qingzhou received the message, he had already led the people from the Saiya Academy to the bridge bank, and they were about to get on the bridge.
Pegasus Academy had also realized the danger at this time. On one side were the mad dog-like people from the Saiya Academy, and on the other side were a group of people from the Gasemil Academy in an unknown dangerous area where mutant plants might exist.
Their commander made up his mind and made a decision immediately: [Everyone, fight against the Saiya Academy. 】
Jiang Ning saw what Pegasus was planning. They weren't coming? That wouldn't do. She had spent so much sunlight to carefully set up the trap, wouldn't it be a waste if they didn't come? She
had originally thought of waiting until Penggua had cleared out a large number of Pegasus people before taking action. By then, even if they didn't have superpowers, they could still be suppressed by numbers.
The plan could not keep up with the changes.
Jiang Ning thought about it and simply asked Simon to remove the illusion disguise, and then decided to rush out with Semill and others.
Their original purpose was to eliminate the Pegasus Academy. Although the process was a bit tortuous, she would have experience when she met the next second-rate academy.
The Pegasus team was scattered. Except for the people in the front row of the team who entered the melon-spraying trap area arranged by Jiang Ning, most of the people were in the safe area.
Looking at the "plants" under his feet that gradually revealed their faces, the Pegasus commander also realized that this was the thing that had just attacked them.
This was not a mutant plant at all, but a group of ordinary plants.
The so-called attack was probably some special "superpower means" rather than plants.
How could ordinary plants attack people?
"People from Semir Academy are here too." The Pegasus chief commander's thoughts were interrupted when someone in the team reminded him.
The chief commander glanced ahead and saw that there were only about forty people from Semir Academy. The leader was not some Wei Shengyu, but a man whose name could not even be remembered.
The overall strength of these people did not seem to be very high.
Is there an ambush?
The Pegasus chief commander spread his perception and soon learned about the situation around him. There was no one else nearby. There
were really only these forty or so people in Semir Academy.
The moment he was thinking, people from the Seaben Academy were approaching. A girl standing next to the light boat was the first to release her supernatural power, and a fireball hit the Pegasus team behind.
This was a signal for both sides to declare war.
Once someone lights a torch, the flame will burn more and more vigorously, and the Pegasus Academy team was soon aroused.
Moreover, their main commander had already released the news of accepting the challenge.
Seeing that both sides were about to enter a fierce battle.
Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat.
This war started too early. There are still so many people in Pegasus Academy. This will inevitably cause a lot of casualties to their two academies.
She needs to minimize the number of casualties.
The melon vine in front of her can be used.
[The team disperses, and everyone attacks the opposite Pegasus from a distance.] Jiang Ning gave orders to everyone.
Under the attack from the front and back of the two academies, they will inevitably send some people to deal with their Semill Academy.
The pressure on Qingzhou and his group will be reduced a lot.
The people of Semir Academy completely obeyed Jiang Ning's words and used the shooting skills of the school.
The design level of their group is not low. For a while, the Pegasus team eliminated several members.
Pegasus had to allocate some people to deal with them.
Even if some people are still worried about those melon-spraying plants that attack people, they also know that they must send people to deal with the people of Semir Academy.
"What are you afraid of? The commander said that these are just ordinary plants. Ordinary plants cannot attack people." The people who were sent cheered each other up.
Someone entered the melon-spraying area.
Nothing happened. Nothing attacked him. Even the attacks of the Semir group stopped.
Seeing the first person enter the melon-spraying area smoothly, the people behind followed happily: "The commander is right."
The Semill people had long been warned by Jiang Ning not to attack people who entered the melon-spraying area, nor to attack the melon-spraying vines.
The Pegasus people carefully shuttled through the melon-spraying area. They had not yet realized that they had fallen into Jiang Ning's trap.
As more and more Pegasus members entered the melon-spraying area, someone finally accidentally touched the leaves of the melon-spraying vine.
Puff puff puff.
Then everyone triggered a chain reaction like dominoes, and all the surrounding melons were triggered in an instant.
It was as if they had installed an automatic locking function, and whoever they touched would be hit.
There was a constant stream of screams.
In just three minutes, all the people who entered the melon spraying area were eliminated.
The movement here attracted the two academies that were fighting over there. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the green oval melons flying around and attacking the Pegasus team.
Is this really the power of a plant?
It's terrible.
Who dares to say that this is an ordinary plant?
Everyone swallowed and looked at the members of Semill who were always calm across from them.
Even Qingzhou couldn't help but look in the direction of Jiang Ning frequently. From now on, she might have to re-examine the three words "plant department".
Now she believed why Jiang Ning said that just their group of people was enough.
"Are you guys not going to fight anymore? I just happen to have something for you." Jiang Ning walked slowly towards the crowd with a smile on her face.
The melon vines under her feet withered and died one by one as she walked past.
Cheng Yao raised her eyebrows, she was familiar with what Jiang Ning said.
Jiang Ning stood with her hands behind her, her palms flashed with white light, and a bright red rose appeared in her palms.
It was exactly the same routine that Jiang Ning used on her.
Cheng Yao couldn't help but chuckle.
Over there.
Jiang Ning walked in front of the crowd and handed the flowers to everyone.
The Pegasus commander was stunned, not understanding what she was up to.
He took a long time to answer, and Jiang Ning was not in a hurry.
A breeze happened to blow on the bridge, and the rose petals in her hand were blown off by the wind, separated from the flower stem, and scattered in the air.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the flying petals. It
was just a small petal just now, but now there are more and more petals in the sky.
They are floating in the air like falling red stars.
People in the interstellar world rarely see this kind of primitive romance, and everyone is stunned.
Just when everyone was immersed in the flying petals, the next second, those flying petals seemed to be driven by something, and the soft petals turned into sharp blades, hitting the Pegasus members accurately.
In an instant, the romantic atmosphere was gone.
The remaining Pegasus members came to their senses and quickly put up a sensory barrier for defense.
If Jiang Ning had heard Cheng Yao's thoughts at that time, she would have retorted that her routine was different. Now it was upgraded, and she could now accurately control these petals.
Zhou Yuanshan often told her that her ability was just to catch people off guard. If she used it too much, it would be useless after others mastered her routine.
But often the effect of taking people by surprise is the most effective. After others have mastered the weakness of her plant, she will have another plant. People's understanding of her will definitely not keep up with her growth speed.
Even if the Pegasus people realized it later and opened the defense, Jiang Ning's attack at least caused them to lose nearly half of their number. Qingzhou
came to his senses and led the people of Saibain Academy to rush forward.
Jiang Ning did not forget to tell his team members to only use replenishing weapons.
When the mental power is exhausted, mental power replenishers are needed to recover, and the mental power replenishers in the arena are linked to points. They also need to save mental power to deal with other unexpected situations.
Qingzhou has no opinion on the attitude of Semir Academy. After all, they have dealt with most of the people in Pegasus.
After the battle, Jiang Ning and Qingzhou counted the number of people in their respective teams.
Semir Academy did not suffer any casualties in this operation, and the number of casualties in Seaben Academy was also in the single digit.
Very surprising data.
Qingzhou walked up to Jiang Ning and asked curiously, "Your ability..."
"Introduce it again." Jiang Ning coughed lightly, "Semier College, Plant Department Jiang Ning."
Qingzhou looked surprised. No one had ever introduced himself as a plant-based ability with such confidence and brilliance.
Qingzhou felt that he had really found a big boss this time.
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, the Star Network live broadcast barrage followed by comments like "I am also a plant-based ability."
The people of the star never knew that there were so many plant-based ability users.
Because of their abilities, the basic mental power level of plant-based ability users is not high. The majority are C-level and D-level plant-based ability users, and there are very few with mental power above A-level.
Although there are so many colleges in the star that have opened plant-based majors, in fact, there are only about ten people in the plant-based department in each college.
Jiang Ning is the only plant type who can participate in the league.
After all, before this, everyone thought that plant type battles were nonsense.
