The night of the first day could be considered peaceful. All the participating schools had found their own allies and were competing for resources on the nearby mountain peaks. After the first day, there were only 421 participants left.
As Wang Ling had expected, on the first day of the competition, all the schools had chosen to form an alliance of four to five schools to occupy nine mountain peaks. As for the remaining schools that hadn't formed an alliance, even if they managed to survive the first day, they might naturally be eliminated if they didn't find a team to distribute enough resources to.
This was just the first day, and the situation wasn't truly favorable. No. 60 High and all the other participating schools could be eliminated at any time. After all, on the last day of the survival battle, the ranking would be based on the order of death, and the school that survived to the end would be the king.
Before that, anything could happen. Even if they chose to form an alliance, it would only be because of the current circumstances. There was no such thing as an ally in the truest sense …
At least, that was what Wang Ling had thought before the "Wang Ling Fan Club" was set up.
…
There were now five schools in No. 60 High's camp.
Currently, they had adopted a defensive strategy, but defense alone wasn't enough; they still had to send people out to gather resources and spy on information.
Thus, Lotus Sun suggested that each school pick two people to form a resource collection team of ten people every day to gather resources and gather intelligence.
No. 60 High had a natural advantage in this regard. Thanks to Mysterious Sea's 3D water screen map, it could be said that the entire Nine Dragon Mountain could be seen at a glance. Furthermore, with Nan Yixiu's perception ability, the water screen map now had the ability to detect living beings, and any activity within a thirty li radius would be displayed on the map.
To ensure that everyone wouldn't get lost in the process of searching for resources, Lotus Sun had also used the gathered materials to create temporary "map talismans."
When necessary, this talisman could be used to project the map in a location with water for thirty seconds.
But Lotus Sun wouldn't be able to draw such a convenient tool on her own, so a temporary talisman team had been set up in No. 60 High's alliance camp to be responsible for drawing talismans.
And Wang Ling was a member of this team.
"Brother Wang, it's too dangerous outside. Just stay here and draw the talismans." In the camp, Zhu Hanyun looked at Wang Ling affectionately in front of a temporarily set up table.
Wang Ling: "…"
Compared with all kinds of dangerous gathering and spying activities in the outside world, drawing talismans was indeed a much more ideal method for him … he could contribute to the team, but he could also loiter around in the base like a nobody, which was pretty good!
But it never occurred to Wang Ling that he hadn't made this decision on his own, and that everyone had directly decided that he would stay in the Dao Talisman team.
In addition to the "Map Display Talisman" used to display maps, there were actually many other types of talismans.
For example, the Enhancement Talisman used to strengthen weapons.
This was a spell that could temporarily change the material of a weapon. That was to say, even if you didn't have a weapon in your hand, you could still use a branch or a bamboo as a weapon. After using the Weapon Enhancement Charm, you could transform the temporary material of the branch into steel.
That way, they would have a certain amount of combat power.
If the Strengthening Talisman was used on a spirit sword or magic treasure, it would double the lethality of the spirit sword or magic treasure.
In addition, there were Fireball Talismans, Smoke Talismans, Water Dragon Talismans, Invisibility Talismans, Qi Holding Talismans, and other talismans used for self-defense and spying …
Of course, drawing talismans wasn't difficult for him.
But the problem was …
The talisman he drew, even when he was trying his best to control it.
Their strength would also be very different from that of ordinary Foundation Establishment students...
…
November 16th, Sunday.
On the second day of the survival battle, the number on the main peak of the dome hadn't changed since it was fixed at 421 people.
Wang Ling predicted that for the next one or two days, the schools would probably continue to spy on each other in secret, and wouldn't launch a large-scale battle, much less cause a huge number of casualties like on the first day.
The next day, No. 60 High drew lots for Super Chen and Wang Zhen to go out as representatives to gather resources and carry out reconnaissance activities.
Nan Yixiu was in charge of leading the team.
"We'll split into two groups. One group will gather resources, and the other will scout for information. The resource gathering team would be relatively safer. They would only move around nearby and pay attention to using talismans to conceal themselves. It would not be easy for them to be discovered. However, spying is very dangerous. Is there anyone willing to go with me? "Nan Yixiu asked as she looked at the ten people in front of her.
Since Nan Yixiu had decided to take part in the spying operation, another student from South Sea Sky High would naturally follow him. This was a bespectacled guy with a watermelon haircut, who gave Super Chen an air of rigidity. Let's call them Four Eyes for now.
"We'll sign up." Super Chen volunteered.
It wasn't easy for Super Chen to participate in the national competition, and loitering around in the base was the most boring thing for him. Wang Zhen felt that this was in line with Super Chen's hot-blooded youngster character … In any case, it was Gu Shunzhi who had decided on No. 60 High's team. Although it looked like a draw, it was actually controllable.
If Wang Zhen went with Super Chen, there basically wouldn't be any risk.
Furthermore, Wang Zhen actually really wanted to see what the Foundation Establishment cultivators on Earth were like in actual combat.
Thus, Wang Zhen directly agreed to Super Chen's request. "I have no objections."
Spying was a little dangerous, and Nan Yixiu had thought that it would be very difficult to gather enough people. In the end, Super Chen and Wang Zhen unexpectedly volunteered, which delighted Nan Yixiu.
A four-person spying team was just right; if there were too many people, they wouldn't be able to take care of everyone.
After happily deciding on the groups, the two groups split up.
The closest mountain to Fire Peak was Mist Peak, which Nan Yixiu had been eyeing since early on.
"There's a very familiar smell on Mist Peak." Wang Zhen asked tentatively as he followed Nan Yixiu; he could more or less guess Nan Yixiu's true purpose.
"I found out yesterday that No. 1 Devil-Subduing High's Gao Tianming has formed an alliance with four schools to occupy that place," Nan Yixiu said.
"Do you have a grudge?" Wang Zhen asked again.
"No, it's just that this person is a little tricky. He's very close to us and could launch a surprise attack at any time. Also, given Gao Tianming's character … I'm guessing that the schools that allied with him were forced to do so. " Nan Yixiu frowned. He had always been worried about No. 1 Devil-Subduing High's Virus Puppet Spell. This control spell was extremely powerful, and most importantly, impossible to guard against.
Nan Yixiu had dealt with Gao Tianming in the previous competition.
He knew Gao Tianming's character too well …
— — This person is crazy!
For Gao Tianming, there were no true allies at all!
Because no ally was as reliable as a puppet for him to control!
