Finally, the statistics came out: Longyue killed 39 bloodthirsty beasts, and Li Hei took care of 38. The difference between the two was one, which was probably the bloodthirsty beast standing between them that Longyue killed a step faster.
Li Hei: ...Holy crap...
He thought he was fast enough, but to his surprise, he was actually one short...
"I will not admit defeat!" Li Hei looked at Longyue calmly and resolutely, his fighting spirit undiminished.
"I'll be waiting anytime!" Longyue's eyes were filled with a smile.
The scores were calculated as follows: Longyue had 1950 points, Lihei had 1900 points, and the team's total score was 3850 points.
Therefore, Zhu Yan decisively placed his bets on Long Yue and Li Hei. Zhu Yan had a gut feeling that this Level 5 trial would be very interesting.
Since the final ten days of the Level 5 Battlefield Trial have not yet arrived, all scores are hidden and will be announced after twenty days, both team and individual scores.
By then, those who were going to bet had already placed their bets, and those who hadn't had no chance left.
It can be said that twenty days ago it was a struggle between humans and monsters, so twenty days later it will be a battle between humans.
Once the leaderboard is released, not only will monsters be sought after, but humans will too. Killing and looting on the battlefield will become a rule that everyone tacitly accepts.
Outside the Level 5 battlefield, a tough-looking man in military uniform hurriedly walked into an office.
"General, the intelligence department just reported abnormal data from the central area of Rongcheng. It seems that the monster that was sleeping in the central area is awakening."
The man saluted Xu Yihai and then reported.
Xu Yihai lowered his head in thought, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk. The quiet office was unusually oppressive, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy because of the man's arrival.
"Have them continue to collect data, and report any discrepancies immediately."
"No one but me can know about this, especially not the people in Rongcheng."
Xu Yihai instructed, "I'll report the data first and see how they handle it."
"yes!"
After the man left, Xu Yihai sighed softly. In the central area of Rongcheng, there was a sleeping A-level monster that had never awakened since the spiritual energy revival. The superiors had also sent specialists down to investigate. The monster's life force was particularly weak. Perhaps in a hundred years, the monster would lose its life force. That's why this place became the trial ground for the Level 5 battlefield.
The monster's data has changed, which makes Xu Yihai somewhat uneasy. His expression is shifting, making it difficult to read his face.
The central area is still far from the level 5 martial artists. Apart from the intelligence department and Xu Yihai, the news is temporarily blocked because if the news leaks, it will cause unnecessary panic and add to the trouble.
Within the battlefield,
Longyue and Lihei were quite lucky, reaping a lot along the way. In addition to the bloodthirsty beast pack they encountered at the beginning, which was worth 50 points, they also encountered a nest of mountain armor beasts worth 1,000 points. It took the two of them a lot of effort to catch it.
"Not bad, a wild pangolin beast, that's quite rare." Zhu Yan looked at the pangolin beast curled up in surprise. Its silver skin looked a bit cold in the forest, and occasionally the sunlight fell on it, reflecting dazzling colors.
An adult pangolin is about one meter tall, but when it curls up into a ball, it's only about thirty centimeters tall, looking incredibly cute. Unfortunately, no one present had the eye for it. In Longyue's eyes, it was just a walking ball of points!
So, let's put cuteness aside!
After hearing Zhu Yan's words, Longyue looked at her silver protective suit and then said, "Captain Yan, there are very few wild pangolins?"
Zhu Yan nodded. “Very few. The protective suits you are wearing now are made from the hides of domesticated pangolins. Ten years ago in the Spirit Era, there were many wild pangolins. However, after humans discovered their usefulness, pangolins were almost hunted down and are becoming increasingly rare. If it weren’t for artificial breeding, you wouldn’t have any protective suits to wear.”
"However, the combat power of the pangolin is really low. It has thick skin and high defense, but there are too many of them and not enough of them, so it has become like this."
Zhu Yan seemed to have a feeling about it.
"No wonder the Pangolin Beast has such a high score even though it's not even a G-class monster," Li Hei realized.
“It’s a wild pangolin. If it were artificially bred, you could buy one for tens of thousands of spirit coins,” Zhu Yan added after Li Hei finished speaking.
Tens of thousands of spirit coins!!!
Oborozuki: ...Poor!
Longyue's gaze lingered reluctantly on the pangolin's body. Her burning gaze made the pangolin family involuntarily shiver and wrap themselves up even tighter.
What to do? I can't bear to part with them! Each one costs 1,000 points, and there are at least four here, which is 4,000 points. After splitting them with Li Hei, I'll still have 2,000 points left.
This is much faster than earning points by fighting bloodthirsty beasts.
Bloodthirsty Beast: ...Dead, please don't tag me, thank you!!!
Longyue's face clearly showed reluctance. Should she let go? Or should she not?
Li Hei looked at Longyue with a puzzled expression. "Longyue, what are you struggling with?"
"I'm torn about whether to release them or not?" Longyue told her teammates honestly, after all, these were their spoils, not just hers alone.
Li Hei hadn't expected that Longyue would have such an idea. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood why Longyue had such an idea and said with a smile, "Longyue, you don't need to worry about whether to release it or not. Pangolins are rare species and capturing them is now completely prohibited. As long as the captain records the image of the Pangolin, the points will be ours."
"I see!" Longyue sighed, rubbing her forehead. She really hadn't learned anything about this, after all, she had only been in this world for a few years.
Zhu Yan was amused and laughed heartily.
In the following days, the two encountered monsters that were not in the monster rankings, and their scores were pitifully low, some with 5 points and some with 10 points.
Strangely, perhaps because the two chose a remote direction, they didn't encounter a single human being.
Perhaps because of Longyue's sentiments, not long after she expressed her feelings, she heard a man's furious voice.
"Chen Fang, you stupid woman, if you're going to die, don't drag me down with you! Damn it, I'm not done with you yet!"
"I%@*#&*!"
The man's curses came from not far ahead. Hearing a somewhat familiar name, Longyue raised an eyebrow.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
A faint buzzing sound caught Longyue's attention. After listening carefully, her brows furrowed, and she grabbed Li Hei with one hand and Zhu Yan with the other.
"run!"
