As they approached Fire Peak, the terrain finally opened up a little, and Wang Ling saw the huge number displayed on the domed main peak.
[Survivors remaining: 759]
This was the current number of survivors. In less than four hours, a group of people had already been eliminated.
Wang Ling speculated that there would be two peaks in the entire competition. The first peak would be on the first and second days, when everyone was fighting for territory. After the situation calmed down in the next few days, most of the school teams would adopt defensive tactics, and the second peak would be on the seventh and eighth days of the competition.
In order to determine the winner, everyone would have to fight to the death, and when the time came, the officials would definitely step in to control the situation, such as deliberately guiding powerful spirit beasts to drive people away from where they had set up camp.
In addition to protecting the students' lives, the teachers in charge of safety were in fact also responsible for guiding the students. This was the same routine in the national competition: using powerful spirit beasts to drive people away was essentially no different from the shrinking circle that had been used in the six schools' military training.
But there was a big prerequisite to using spirit beasts to drive people away, and that was that the spirit beasts had to be strong enough to be a deterrent …
Along the way, Wang Ling did his best to hide his aura, but the natural aura he exuded made the spirit beasts in the nearby jungle completely afraid to approach him.
It wasn't just spirit beasts; even snakes, insects, rats and ants were anxious to flee when they sensed Wang Ling's aura …
Coupled with Wang Zhen, Liu Qingyi, Gu Shunzhi, Zhenyuan and Fang Xing, the six of them in No. 60 High's team were like walking demon repellent incense, and as they walked through the jungle, a swarm of flying insects and ferocious beasts trembled in fear.
At first, Lotus Sun had been very cautious as she walked, for fear that she would make too much noise and alarm some nearby vicious beasts. However, she never expected that Wang Ling would scare them away.
Furthermore, they hadn't run into any other opponents on the way, which directly made the whole process so easy that it almost made people wonder if they had joined a fake survival game.
"I think we're going to starve to death today. We've been walking for so long, why haven't we run into a single monkey?" Master of Dopey used his sword to push aside the bushes in front of him. At first, he had been very cautious, but his movements gradually became rough.
"There's not even a single bird, let alone a monkey." In the team, Li Youyue was also surprised. Logically speaking, the vicinity of Fire Peak was rich in resources. It was impossible that they had not encountered a single spirit beast. Today, she had planned to show off her superb cooking skills in the wild kitchen, but it seemed that she was not given this opportunity.
In fact, their words had undoubtedly reminded him of something.
It was a strange sight to see that there were no spirit beasts blocking their way.
Although his original intention had been to keep a low profile, since he had decided to put on an act, he had to go through with it to the end.
He amplified his spiritual will, and a message was immediately transmitted to Odd Zhuo's ears in the command center.
"Not good, shifu is in trouble …" Odd Zhuo received the message and understood Wang Ling's predicament. But it wasn't good for him to directly intervene in this matter. Now that Old Huang, President Qi and many headmasters were here, it would be too brazen for him to directly take action.
Fortunately, Odd Zhuo was already prepared. He took out his phone and sent a "shaking window" to a new chat group called [Group Pet Ling Zhenren's Reserve Squad].
Buttface asked, "What happened?"
Little Silver: "What happened to Master?"
Odd Zhuo: "Shifu's aura is too strong, and all the spirit beasts in the jungle nearby have been scared away. We have to think of a way."
Buttface: "Got it, we just need to find a group of people to put on a show?"
Little Silver: "Then leave it to me!"
Odd Zhuo nodded and then sent a reminder. "When the two of you make a move, pay attention to coordination. It wasn't easy for me to assign you to the guard team … it wouldn't be good if you were discovered."
"Understood." One Silver and one dog nodded.
Little Silver and Loopy Toad had come to Nine Dragon Mountain with Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal, which even Wang Ling didn't know about. Odd Zhuo had already anticipated that something unexpected might happen, so he had arranged for Little Silver and Loopy Toad to be part of the guard team in advance.
Now that Loopy Toad could take human form, it would naturally be much easier for it to sneak into the team.
After receiving the message, one Silver and one dog immediately got to work.
"MSATER is currently near Fire Peak." On a mountain peak, Little Silver used his spiritual senses to sense the creatures there, and sure enough, they were running around in chaos.
"As expected, it's very chaotic." Loopy Toad nodded and sighed in its heart. Spirit beasts had a natural sense of danger, which was a little similar to a human's sixth sense, and was sometimes even more accurate than that.
Thus, Wang Ling might not have revealed his aura, but when he walked through the forest, the domineering aura that he exuded was that of a primordial vicious beast.
But it actually wasn't that troublesome to deal with …
Little Silver and Loopy Toad appeared at the mouth of a hidden cave. Little Silver then bit his finger and dripped his holy beast essence blood on the ground.
"Will that work?" Loopy Toad was doubtful.
"My holy beast essence blood is naturally attractive, don't you think?" Little Silver raised his eyebrows.
"…" At the mention of Little Silver's essence blood, Loopy Toad instinctively wanted to throw up.
In order to heal it and transform its demon physique as quickly as possible, Little Master Ling had fed it basin after basin of holy beast essence blood, which had already left a psychological shadow on Loopy Toad.
No matter how delicious the delicacies were … If you ate too much, you would eventually throw up …
It was the same with holy beast essence blood.
But for spirit beasts who had never drunk holy beast essence blood before, Little Silver's blood indeed had a natural attraction.
In a short while, Little Silver could smell the restless spirit beasts in the jungle. For a moment, it was as if the whole jungle had come back to life. Startled, countless birds circled in the sky, unexpectedly forming a strange phenomenon of a bird tide.
It was just a drop of holy beast essence blood … but it had actually caused such a violent disturbance. Although Loopy Toad could already foresee what would happen, the scene in front of it still couldn't help feeling a little shaken. It recalled the scene of the demon tide back then, which was a little similar to it.
"Can you feel it … they're here."
"To catch bandits, first catch the king. Start with the king of the spirit beasts, but be careful not to kill them all."
"Just scaring him a little will do."
"That's right, and we have to catch them all alive."
"Got it, we have to send them to Master as extras. We can't hurt them. "
"But then again, it's best if we can pay them."
"Then half a drop of holy beast blood for each king. It's a sure win."
"…"
