It turned out to be her!
Liu Xia frowned immediately, but did not stop. He cut half of the bodies of the mutant hyenas that had died around him and continued to collect the cores of the monsters.
The reason why she resorted to violence was that she didn't want to reveal her secret in front of strangers.
It seems that this matter is becoming more and more interesting.
After hearing what Xu Jingjing said, Liu Xia had a few guesses in his mind. The cold blade in his hand effortlessly cut open the mutant hyena's belly and took out the blue core of the strange beast hidden inside. The blood-stained blue crystal glowed enchantingly in the moonlight.
But I was still thinking about this in my heart. Could it be that Qiya was doing something behind the scenes?
So was Xu Jingjing's being chased by a pack of mutant hyenas just bad luck?
Liu Xia was a little unsure.
When she walked back to the osmanthus tree, she handed the two blue beast cores, which had been wiped clean of blood, to Xu Jingjing. Her face became expressionless again, and she said in a flat voice, "There are four level three beast cores in total. This is your share."
Xu Jingjing quickly waved her hand and refused to take it. She shook her head like a rattle and repeatedly declined: "Thanks to you for saving me just now, these things should all be yours. I shouldn't have taken them. Instead, I should thank you."
Liu Xia could tell from Xu Jingjing's expression that she was not pretending, and seemed to sincerely feel that she shouldn't take it. However, Liu Xia ignored her refusal and still forced two blue beast cores into her, nodding at her indifferently.
"I'm about to leave, be careful."
After saying that, Liu Xia turned around and walked out. She had her own things to do and was already preparing to leave.
After drinking the replenishing liquid, Xu Jingjing regained a lot of strength. She hurriedly took two steps forward, her voice full of urgency: "I'll have to thank you for saving my life when I get back to the city. Could you tell me your name, please?"
"Liu Xia."
Liu Xia's voice quickly disappeared in the half-human-high grass. The green grass leaves swayed gently in the breeze. The figure quickly disappeared in the osmanthus forest after a few ups and downs.
"Liu Xia... Liu Xia..." Xu Jingjing silently repeated and chewed on this unfamiliar name. Suddenly, she remembered the news that came out from the competition venue yesterday.
Xu Jingjing's expression changed from confusion to shock. She looked at the patch of grass that had long since disappeared and murmured, "So it was her... the outsider who got an SSS-level physical test score. No wonder she's so strong."
Originally, hunters like her who had already registered thought it was all just a figment of their imagination. The ruthless person who completed the agility test 12 seconds faster than the highest score and directly smashed the strength testing machine turned out to be a female outsider without any prosthetic limbs.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she probably wouldn't have believed it.
Although this outsider named Liu Xia looked indifferent and expressionless, it could be seen from the fact that she helped him without hesitation that she was a good person.
If it were any other player, even if they didn't come up to finish her off, they would wait until the mutant hyena killed her before coming to pick up the spoils. After all, every player has more or less accumulated some exotic beast cores, and the supplies on them are also in high demand.
Thinking of this, Xu Jingjing looked at the place where Liu Xia left with gratitude again, remembered Liu Xia's name deeply in her heart, turned around and jumped onto the osmanthus tree where Liu Xia had just hidden, hiding herself.
…
Regardless of whether this contestant named Xu Jingjing is a good person or not, Liu Xia did not dare to trust her too much. After all, this was on the court, and one had to be on guard against others.
Liu Xia walked for about two hours along the route that had been determined early in the morning. It was already completely dark. Occasionally, he could see the light of a campfire somewhere in the competition area and faintly smell the aroma of barbecue. Presumably, some contestants had already settled down there and were resting.
Judging from the shadows cast by the flames, there were lone wolves and teams of several people. I didn't expect that the players had organized themselves in just half a day. I don't know whether this team was temporarily formed or if they already knew each other.
Liu Xia carefully avoided these obviously populated areas and even turned off his tactical flashlight. He continued on his way in the little daylight to avoid any unnecessary conflicts.
During the long journey, time gradually entered the second half of the night, which is the time period when humans are most likely to feel sleepy. As they got closer to the destination, the bodies of contestants that had been bitten to pieces could be seen from time to time along the way. Judging from the multiple wounds on their bodies, most of them were bitten to death by a group of wild beasts.
However, the contestants' supply backpacks and weapons disappeared, not to mention the cores of the exotic beasts they hunted. Nothing was left except a dilapidated corpse.
Suddenly, crisp "da da da" gunshots came from an abandoned open-air stadium. There were faint sounds of dog barking and flashes of weapon fire from there. It was about dozens of meters away from where Liu Xia was, and the sound was extremely clear.
Liu Xia looked over quickly and squinted his eyes, but he couldn't see clearly because the court was surrounded by dense trees and weeds.
She thought about it and moved over quietly, wanting to know what all the strange things that happened tonight were. After all, the trials would not end for another two and a half days, so she could be prepared for that.
Liu Xia groped to the edge of the court in the cover of night, carefully preventing the half-man-high weeds from shaking too much, and squinted his eyes to look inside.
Pushing aside the weeds, you can see a small pile of firewood burning in the stadium. The faint flames sway in the wind, casting long shadows on the field.
A group of mutant hyenas were seen besieging two unarmed contestants, a man and a woman, while five figures with their heads and heads covered in anti-radiation cloth were standing on the periphery. Ugly faces were revealed from behind the cloak-like gray cloth, and they were watching the performance on the field with cruel and dangerous smiles on their faces.
The contestant had a wound on his arm and the weapon in his hand had fallen to the ground. It was not known whether it was caused by the siege or the beating by the spectators.
"Is this... someone from the Hyena Gang?"
What made Liu Xia feel even more scalp-numbing was that mutant hyenas were constantly coming out from the gaps in the stadium fence and joining the brutal attack team.
The wounds bitten by the mutant hyenas kept dripping blood, staining the worn green rubber floor everywhere, but every time they tried to break through, they would be blocked by the five onlookers.
If they were not rescued, the two contestants would have been torn to pieces by the mutant hyenas.
Liu Xia believed that he was not the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone in need. He drew his weapon from his waist and shot a member of the Hyena Gang, shouting, "How did you Hyena Gang members get in here?"
The sound of gunfire and loud shouting was like a thunderclap in this brutal and bloody massacre, startling several Hyena Gang members who were watching the show and looking over.
