Daring people would usually be accompanied by extreme self-confidence.
The new student group from the Central Province Academy decided not to use the signal tube and would personally rescue Peng Kunqi and Wu Jitong who were captured by the human-faced spiders!
Other than self-confidence, or perhaps it could be said that they were a little arrogant.
Earlier, when they encountered the sudden attack from the spider army, their group didn't collapse and fought extremely outstandingly. This also gave them courage.
If it wasn't for the over ten green-radish spiders using their spider silk to fish people away, one could say that the Central Province Academy's response earlier was almost perfect.
"Those spiders that fish people are called green-radish. Their hunting method is different from other spiders. They don't weave webs and wait for their prey to take the bait. Instead, they shoot out spider silk and there's a bone spike at the front of the spider silk!
"There's an intense numbing poison on the bone spike. Once the prey is hit by it, they would fall unconscious."
Li Ziqi explained to everyone.
Everyone was already used to the little sunny egg's knowledge. Even Zhang Yaozong had to admit that bringing Li Ziqi around was really beneficial.
At the very least, when they encountered some species, Li Ziqi could swiftly provide detailed information so that everyone wouldn't be blinded.
"What about the two of them? Should we leave someone behind to take care of them? "
Zhao Zhi asked.
Li Fen and Lu Qi were still unconscious.
Zhang Yaozong sank into contemplation. If they wanted to carry out the rescue plan, it would naturally be better if there were more people. However, they mustn't give up on Li Fen and Lu Qi.
"The people from Chongde seem to be planning to rest here and wait for their teachers to rescue them. Why don't we get them to help take care of them?"
Zhu Jian suggested.
Zhao Zhi gulped down a mouthful of saliva, wanting to say something but hesitating. He actually wanted to stay behind, but it was too embarrassing and he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Honestly speaking, not all students were filled with courage. For example, Zhao Zhi was badly frightened and even thought of directly withdrawing from the competition.
This was because his ability to withstand pressure was too weak!
"Why don't we let Zhao Zhi stay behind?"
Li Ziqi looked at Zhang Yaozong.
"No..."
Zhang Yaozong frowned. He originally wanted to reject, but after seeing Zhao Zhi's nervous expression, he finally understood. Hence, he nodded. "Alright, Zhao Zhi will stay behind to take care of them."
"It's decided then. Everyone drink some water, eat some food, and organize your equipment. We will set off in two minutes!"
Li Ziqi clapped her hands.
Zhang Yaozong originally wanted to say to set off immediately, but after hearing Li Ziqi's words, he couldn't help but agree.
He only cared about the danger and neglected the other details.
"Yes, it's a good choice to let her be the vice-captain and fill in the gaps."
Zhang Yaozong pondered. He had already acknowledged Li Ziqi.
Poor athletic ability?
It didn't matter. The value of the little sunny egg was enough to offset this disadvantage. Besides, Sun Mo still had the big white tiger as his mount and wasn't slow at all.
Two minutes passed quickly. The team was about to set off, but Chu Jian realized that they were short of people.
"Where did that sickly invalid go?"
Chu Jian counted the number of people again.
"Over there!"
Xu Dingjiang's eyesight was not bad, and he pointed at a rock wall.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Tantai Yutang sliding down from a stone wall.
Zhang Yaozong was unhappy. When the sickly invalid returned, he immediately questioned him.
"Where did you go?"
"Gather herbs!"
Tantai Yutang walked to Li Fen's side. He spat out the medicinal herb he was chewing and stuffed it into Li Fen's mouth. After that, he took a water bottle and poured the medicinal herb down her throat.
"The viridian spider's venom will last for a few days. If they are not treated in time, they will have to stay in bed for the next week."
Tantai Yutang explained.
Seeing the sickly invalid continuing to feed medicine to Lu Qi, even the strong Zeng Gang mumbled in a low voice, "I'd rather stay in bed for a week!"
"Me too. If I'm shot by the viridian spider, I mustn't let him feed me medicine!"
Xu Jialiang felt a wave of disgust. However, he then looked toward Lu Zhiruo. (If this big-breasted girl feeds me, I won't mind.)
(Of course, that Ying Baiwu is fine as well. Although her chest is a little small, it's still within my acceptable range. As for Li Ziqi, it's impossible.)
...
The morale of the new student group from Chongde was low.
After this setback, everyone knew that their ranking for this round was absolutely terrible. It was basically impossible for them to advance to the next round.
"This is only the first round. We haven't lost yet!"
Li Rongguang encouraged everyone, but he didn't have much confidence in his own words.
Based on past years' standards, the difficulty of the three rounds would only increase.
"Everyone is in the same boat!"
Chai Yong suggested. "Why don't we form a temporary team with the people from the Central Province Academy?"
This time, Wu Ran did not mock him.
Next, if they wanted to get a good ranking, they couldn't take a detour. Hence, they had to barge through this human-faced canyon. Hence, teaming up with the new student group from the Central Province Academy was the best choice.
"I'm afraid they won't agree, right?"
Li Rongguang sighed. If he went now, he would definitely be ridiculed.
The expressions of the other students didn't look too good either. It was obvious that they remembered how ugly they had been when they mocked the other party.
"Wu Ran, you're really bad as a person!"
Someone scolded.
"Why can't I?"
Wu Ran was stubborn.
"Alright, shut up!"
Li Rongguang stood up. "I'll go tell them!"
However, before Li Rongguang went over, he saw three members of the new student group from the Central Province Academy staying behind and setting off for the human-faced canyon.
"What are they doing?"
Chai Yong was puzzled. From the looks of it, it didn't seem like he was going to leave these three people behind.
"Don't tell me they want to rescue the two students by themselves?"
Before Chen Chen could finish, Wu Ran cut him off.
"How is this possible? Unless they're crazy! "
Wu Ran swore solemnly. If they did that, they would die.
Li Rongguang quickly ran and chased after them. After saying a few words to Zhang Yaozong, he watched as the group rapidly left.
"Group leader, they can't really be going to rescue the two students, right?"
After Li Rongguang returned, Chai Yong impatiently asked.
"Mn!"
Li Rongguang nodded and sat at the side with a desolate look on his face. He basically didn't dare to think of a plan like rescuing the two students. This time around, he was truly inferior to them.
The Central Province Academy was probably going to rise this year!
...
Everyone carefully crawled into the crevice where Peng Kunqi and the other student were captured. They felt a headache.
There were simply too many tunnels here. It was basically impossible to know which tunnel the spider had escaped from!
"Which one of you knows the tracking technique?"
Zhang Yaozong was helpless.
Everyone exchanged glances. Who would be so bored to learn this?
"What are you waiting for?"
Xuanyuan Po urged the sickly invalid.
Swoosh!
The gazes of everyone landed on Tantai Yutang.
"Let me do it!"
Tantai Yutang walked to the front of the group. After inspecting the traces on the ground, he pointed out a path.
"Can you do it?"
Xu Dingjiang frowned. This wasn't a joke. If they got lost, not only would it be a waste of time, but their lives would also be in danger.
"Cough cough, you can back out!"
Tantai Yutang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed. His voice was calm and didn't feel nervous at all.
"Lead the way!"
Zhang Yaozong glanced at Li Ziqi and discovered that she didn't doubt the sickly invalid. This meant that this fellow was reliable.
Tantai Yutang's speed was soon raised to the limits.
"Slow down!"
Zeng Gang complained.
The cave was pitch-black. Even if they lit up a torch, it could only illuminate a small area.
"Ziqi, can he do it or not?"
Zhang Yaozong wasn't sure because the sickly invalid's speed was too fast. Even if he was a hunting dog, he would have to stop and take a sniff first!
"No problem!"
Li Ziqi recalled back then when Tantai Yutang had relied on his own strength to find Lu Zhiruo.
"Got it, it's right in front!"
Tantai Yutang suddenly stopped. His words caused everyone's nerves to tense up.
"How far is it roughly?"
Zhang Yaozong asked.
"50 to 60 meters?"
Tantai Yutang calculated.
"Ziqi, should we go together or should we leave someone to provide support?"
Zhang Yaozong asked.
"Ziqi is so impressive!"
Ying Baiwu sighed in admiration. Zhang Yaozong was proud and arrogant. At the start, he acted as the group leader and gave orders. But now, he actually started to listen to Li Ziqi's opinion. This meant that he had acknowledged the little sunny egg.
"Let's go together. The terrain here is too complicated. Once we get lost, it won't be easy to find them again. Also, if we move together, our firepower will be stronger!"
Li Ziqi didn't hesitate and gave a reason.
"Alright. Xuanyuan Po, Xu Dingjiang, me, the three of us will go first. If I'm injured, Ziqi will take over the group."
After Zhang Yaozong spoke, he stood at the front.
At such a time, the courage of the group leader could motivate the entire group.
As expected, Zhang Yaozong's action caused the morale of the entire group to rise.
Tantai Yutang whistled softly.
"Move out!"
Zhang Yaozong darted out and took the lead. Sadly, Xuanyuan Po took a few steps forward and surpassed him.
Li Ziqi had been counting the number of steps she took every year as she rushed over. In the end, she accidentally stepped on a stone and almost fell. Tantai Yutang's reaction was fast and he managed to pull her back.
"Don't count anymore, I'm here!"
Tantai Yutang persuaded. He had already guessed that the little sunny egg would do such a thing.
A distance of 57 meters and three turns later, they entered an oval-shaped cave. Peng Kunqi and Wu Jitong were wrapped up by white spider silk, revealing only their heads. They were suspended in midair by the spider silk that hung down from the ceiling.
Other than them, there were also a few unlucky fellows from Chongde.
"Save them!"
As the sound of Zhang Yaozong's voice faded, Li Ziqi waved her sword and two white birds shot out. They flew into the air and severed the spider silk that hung the few people.
Xuanyuan Po and the others leaped up high and caught the few unconscious students.
"Retreat!"
Zhang Yaozong led the group and left via the path they came from.
"I'm afraid it's too late!"
Tantai Yutang bitterly smiled.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Zhiruo was very nervous.
"Don't you guys feel that our infiltration was too smooth?"
Tantai Yutang suddenly exerted all his strength and tossed out the torch.
Pak!
The torch landed on the ground and illuminated the area ahead, revealing the malevolent-looking mouthparts of a large group of spiders.
The new student group from the Central Province Academy was surrounded.
"I felt that the teachers from Chongde should be very fast. Hence, I planned to follow behind them and wait for them to lure the spiders away. We can then take advantage of the situation. I didn't expect them to be so slow!"
Li Ziqi bitterly smiled.
"That's right!"
Tantai Yutang also had this plan. If not, he would definitely not take the risk. After all, the spiders' nest wasn't a place they could barge into just because they wanted to.
"It's too late to say anything now. Let's kill our way out!"
Xuanyuan Po's silver spear trembled, preparing to fight.
"Don't move no matter what!"
Tantai Yutang stopped him. From the sounds of these spiders, he felt that there should be several hundred of them or even over a thousand. It was too difficult to kill their way out.
