BXBX NOVEL Chapter 277 - An astonishing sight
In the distance far ahead, the terrain suddenly became less mountainous, allowing them to see further.
Large swaths of blue and green plants covered the plain, extending far into the distance. It seemed boundless at a glance. In this huge flora, there were numerous puddles of water the size of a lake. Most of these were blue and purple, and in some places they were entangled with each other.
From their previous understanding, they understood that the creatures on this planet were inseparable from the blue sun and purple sun in the sky. Were these really two suns? But why could the suns here bring enough energy to the creatures here? Whether it be plants or those monsters, they seemed to be nourished by them.
In the afternoon, they had killed two more rounds of monsters, including three bosses. Their harvest had once again shot up by a lot.
Lan Xuanyu summoned everyone in front of him and said, “Now we have two choices. I want to listen to your opinions. Let me analyze our current situation first. If anything is wrong, you can point it out. Right now, the overall state of the team should be maintained at around more than 80% from the optimal state. What is our current harvest?”
The latter question naturally was for Lan Mengqin.
Lan Mengqin said: “Sixteen boss ranked crystal cores, 3,643 ordinary crystal cores.”
Lan Xuanyu smiled and said, “You remember it very clearly. You are a qualified treasurer.”
Lan Mengqin rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Lan Xuanyu said: “Based on our current gains, I think it should be enough for everyone to be admitted to Shrek Academy. So first, let me congratulate everyone.”
Hearing his words, everyone couldn’t help smiling, especially Liu Feng and Qian Lei, who were the most worried about the comprehensive assessment before. With his commanding ability and the addition of two other groups and Yuan En Huihui, it could be said that their concerns were smoothly taken care of.
No one doubted when Lan Xuanyu said that the gains they had accumulated now were enough to be admitted to Shrek Academy. They fully believed that no other examinee could kill monsters as efficiently as them.
Most candidates chose to withdraw towards the base, which meant that they would compete with each other and share merits. Moreover, along the way, they felt it very clearly that the deeper they went, the stronger the monsters’ strength. The stronger the monster, the higher the quality of the crystal core.
They had obtained such a great harvest with almost no competition from other candidates. If they still failed to pass the exam, it would be abnormal.
Not only they had to face food and water issues, the other candidates would also have to face them !
“Our first option is to withdraw, save our strength and physical strength, and find a safe place to rest until the end of the assessment.” Lan Xuanyu said.
After saying this, he looked at all his companions. After listening to his words, everyone obviously felt unsatisfied.
Lan Xuanyu said: “The second option is to go down and enter the jungle to continue fighting. If we go now we have three to four hours before the night falls. We can fight on the edge of the jungle and increase our gains. When it gets dark, we return here, withdraw towards the base, and rest. The next day camping until the end.”
“Let’s vote by raising hands. For the first option raise your hands, well, the voting is over...”
No one raised their hands, no doubt, it meant that everyone wanted to continue fighting. After all, their harvest was too abundant. As Xiao Qi said earlier, the harvest here could be used for exchanging Shrek badges.
They didn’t know exactly what good things the Shrek badge could be exchanged for, but what was certain was that Shrek, as a school which had tens of thousands of years of history, definitely did not lack good stuff.
“Share these canned foods among yourselves evenly, excluding me. Then we rest for half an hour, once everyone is back to their best condition, we go down.” Lan Xuanyu took out the food that he had never touched from his backpack and distributed them to others.
“Xuanyu, don’t you want to eat?” Qian Lei couldn’t help but say.
Lan Xuanyu said, “I’m not hungry.”
Qian Lei said: “Usually you eat the most!”
Lan Xuanyu smiled slightly, “You can think of it as my body having enough stockpiles of energy. I’m really not hungry. Look, it’s been almost two days, and my condition hasn’t declined right. Everyone, hurry up and eat, we don’t have a lot of time. We have to take advantage of it before it becomes dark.”
Unconsciously, everyone’s eyes looking at him changed subtly. Concerning this leader, everyone’s recognition was indeed getting higher and higher. He was always able to lead everyone while keeping his cool, and get the greatest benefit for everyone.
At the beginning, everyone felt that they were taking advantage of Yuan En Huihui. However, after this day, their overall gains were really too much, could Yuan En Huihui do it? What’s more, they really saved Yuan En Huihui’s life back then. When thinking about it this way, actually Yuan En Huihui didn’t seem to lose out on anything.
After distributing the gains evenly, everyone could get at least one boss rank crystal core. The quality of the crystal cores they obtained later were significantly higher, and even the quality of the ordinary monsters’ was not bad. During the last batch of monsters, Yuan En Huihui had to use Spirit Rain Tide twice, and only with the help of Lan Xuanyu’s buff did he manage to kill all the monsters.
Half an hour later, everyone finished their meal and quietly climbed down the mountain and descended toward the edge of the forest.
Lan Xuanyu resumed his cautious way of leading. This time he did not even let Liu Feng scout, but instead asked Qian Lei to summon a soul beast to do it.
At last I can contribute to something, Qian Lei thought. He summoned a scaleless velociraptor and commanded it to go into the jungle.
Currently, everyone’s formation was kept very tight with Bing Tianliang’s trio in front, Lan Xuanyu, Yuan En Huihui and Qian Lei in the middle. Liu Feng, Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin in the rearguard.
“I’ve found a herd of monsters, but it seems to be a little different from the ones before.” Qian Lei’s eyes flickered with silver light, which was a result from using his mental power to keep in touch with the monster he had summoned.
“What’s the difference?” Lan Xuanyu asked in a heavy tone.
Qian Lei said: “Their bodies are bigger and the types are different. But it is still a herd, and the one I have found is composed of six monsters. Should I bait them ?”
“Bait them. Everyone gets ready to fight. Huihui, no need to rush, wait for my order.”
“Ok.”
Soon, the sound of the Scaleless Velociraptor rushing could be heard, followed by a roar.
The combat potential of the Scaleless Velociraptor was particularly weak among the Earth Dragons, but its strong point lied in its speed, and most of the terrain cannot affect its running.
When it reappeared in front of everyone, its summoning time was almost up, and it went straight back to the door of summoning.
Behind it, a monster rushed out directly.
This was a monster that looked like an ape. Where it was different was that it had two heads, both baring their fangs, with one being blue and the other purple.
As soon as it saw the human beings in front of him, it screamed and rushed forward.
Double headed!
Without Lan Xuanyu’s words, Bing Tianliang had already rushed up with a flash, his whole body shrouded in electric light, and his first soul ability Electrical Fusion set off. A barrage of electric lights went straight to the monster and bombarded it.
The monster uttered a strange cry of “kuakua”, and the purple head on the left suddenly opened its mouth, spouting a cloud of purple light, which exploded in front of it, blocking all the electric currents. The blue head on the right suddenly inhaled, and its belly quickly swelled. Opening its mouth, a blue light blasted out, fiercely heading at Bing Tianliang.
Bing Tianliang flickered, trying to dodge the blue light, but the blue light acted as if it had grown eyes, drawing an arc in the air, reaching him with incomparable precision.
Unleashing his second soul ability, the demonic puppet came out, taking head on the blue light. Bing Tian Liang used this opportunity to dodge and jumped to the side. One of the greatest characteristics of this demonic puppet was that it could attract the agro, causing it to be locked on by the enemy.
