Panya Lake was filled with ripples. The scenery was beautiful.
This was true nature. Humans were insignificant and helpless here, instantly becoming a link in the food chain.
If they weren't careful, they might get injured or even die.
The students from Chongde stood by the lake, feeling helpless.
The three students who knew how to swim had already entered the lake. However, everyone knew that the possibility of catching a flower carp was extremely low.
But if they didn't try, they wouldn't have any more chances.
"Fish are too hard to catch. Why don't we change to a land species?"
"Why don't we just go and snatch the fish from others?"
"I feel that it's pointless to continue wasting time."
The students muttered.
When the teacher from Chongde saw this scene, he silently sighed. When encountering a problem, if one didn't work hard to resolve it and only thought of escaping and taking shortcuts, they wouldn't be able to temper a will that was as firm as a boulder.
The students were chatting idly when they suddenly saw a large flock of large birds with white feathers flying across the sky.
All of a sudden, these egrets began to dive down.
Plop! Plop!
The egrets dove one meter deep into the lake. After that, they immediately floated up and flapped their wings to rise into the sky. At this moment, some of the egrets had already caught a small fish in their beaks.
The small fish struggled with all their might, but it was useless. They were all swallowed by the egrets.
"Ah? I suddenly thought of an idea. We can control these birds and get them to catch flower carps for us? "
Group leader Li Rongguang seemed to have discovered a new continent and had a look of joy on his face.
Everyone's gazes immediately turned to Liu Yu who knew the art of spiritual control.
"Don't look at me, I can at most enslave one. What's the use of that!"
Liu Yu shrugged.
"Having one is better than nothing!"
Li Rongguang urged, "Alright, everyone, go and capture the birds for Liu Yu to enslave."
"Group leader, do you think there's a possibility that these little egrets are enslaved by someone?"
Chen Chen looked at those birds. Some of them didn't eat the fish they caught and tossed it away. This didn't make sense.
"Impossible!"
Before Li Rongguang could reply, Liu Yu shouted, "The number of spiritual beasts a spirit controller can enslave is related to their mental energy. The more they have, the greater the chance of a backlash!"
How many egrets were there here?
He estimated that there were close to a thousand of them. Just how powerful was the master of spirit controlling to be able to enslave them?
"Look!"
Wu Ran pointed at a big bird with mixed feathers, and suddenly shouted, "It caught a flower carp, right?"
Everyone immediately looked over, and they were wild with joy.
The fish in the beak of the little egret was brightly colored. It was as though a rainbow was draped over its body. This was the greatest characteristic of a flower carp.
Flutter!
The little egrets flew away.
"What are you waiting for? Go after him! "
Li Rongguang urged.
"Haha, our luck is so good that nothing can be said about it!"
Chai Yong laughed out loud.
The four teachers glanced at each other, but they weren't as optimistic. Why didn't the little egrets eat the flower carp but brought it away instead?
During this season, there was no need for them to bring food back to their nests. Hence, there was only one answer left. These little egrets were enslaved by someone.
"I wonder which student group it is?"
The four teachers were deeply worried. Since the other party was able to think of such a method, his abilities were naturally not to be underestimated.
…
At the habitat of the little egrets, the three girls went to catch worms.
Sun Mo had nothing to do and decided to roast a few fish for dinner.
Not long after he ate, the little egrets flew back. A large group of them landed beside the papaya girl. One of them placed a rainbow-colored carp in front of her.
"That's great, thank you!"
Lu Zhiruo used a handkerchief to wrap the worm and fed it to the little egrets.
After a period of feeding, the sky darkened.
It was too dangerous to set up camp alone in the dense forest. Hence, Sun Mo designated a campsite for everyone to return before 8 pm.
"Let's go!"
Since the flower carp was caught, Sun Mo was no longer anxious. He also didn't let the three girls ride Little Silver back. Instead, he wanted to take the chance to train their ability to move in the forest.
The little sunny egg was really slow.
Seeing that the sun was setting and the moon was rising, Li Ziqi was very anxious. She felt that she was delaying everyone's time.
"Grandmaster-Level, there's no rush. Slow down a little!"
Lu Zhiruo had been accompanying Li Ziqi. All of a sudden, she stopped and her ears twitched. After that, a look of panic appeared on her face. "Teacher, there are people coming, a lot of them!"
Sun Mo frowned and soon reacted. There should be people chasing after the little egrets to their habitat. After that, they followed their footprints and chased after them.
Right now, Sun Mo had two choices. Firstly, he could leave on Little Silver before the enemies arrived. Secondly, he could stay here and conserve his energy, preparing for battle.
"Prepare for battle!"
Sun Mo chose the latter. Since the flower carp was gone, he could catch it again. However, he had to experience such conflict sooner or later.
Not long later, a voice rang out.
"I found them, they are here!"
Chen Chen was overjoyed.
The students from Chongde appeared. Although all of them were panting and extremely tired, they had excited looks on their faces. This was especially so after they saw the flower carp in Lu Zhiruo's hands. A few guys even started high-fiving to congratulate them. It was as though the flower carp was already within their reach.
"It's you guys?"
Li Guangrong looked at Li Ziqi and the other two with an awkward expression. He recalled their encounter in the human-faced canyon. Their group had lost so much face.
"There seems to be only four of them?"
Chen Chen placed his hand to his ear and listened attentively.
"They are the students from Chongde!"
Upon seeing Li Rongguang's group, Li Ziqi heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, as long as they weren't the student groups from Mingshao or Sky Orchid, they would be able to fight.
"What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on us? "
Chai Yong was enraged.
"Do you guys have anything that makes us look up to you guys? Don't forget, you guys have a few students who came out after us! "
Lu Zhiruo retorted, directly causing the students from Chongde to feel awkward and embarrassed.
Li Rongguang indicated for everyone to stop quarreling. After that, he looked toward Li Ziqi. "It's impossible for you guys to win three against twenty. Hand over the flower carp and we can let you guys go."
"Three students, don't forget that everyone has signed the death disclaimer. Even if we kill you guys, we won't have to bear any responsibility."
Wu Ran threatened.
"Why are you still wasting time talking? Quickly snatch the flower carp and return! "
Chen Chen was already impatient. Although he had no idea what methods they used to control a large group of little egrets to help them catch the flower carp, it was all theirs now.
If they returned now, they would definitely be able to enter the top ten or even the top five.
"Baiwu, bring the flower carp and leave first!"
Li Ziqi took the flower carp from Lu Zhiruo's hands and tied it to Ying Baiwu's waist. After that, she took out a stack of spirit gathering runes.
Lu Zhiruo pulled out her sword and stood before Li Ziqi.
"Alright!"
Ying Baiwu executed the Wind King Divine Steps and directly darted out. In the blink of an eye, she had already moved over 30 meters away.
"So fast?"
Let alone the students, even the four teachers were stunned. This movement art was at least a superior-grade heaven-tier movement art or above.
"Chen Chen, Wu Ran, the few of you quickly chase after her!"
Li Rongguang immediately called out the students who were faster. After that, he shouted again, "If you dare to run, we will break the limbs of these two girls. I'm a man of my words!"
"Go!"
Li Rongguang wanted to capture Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo as hostages to force Ying Baiwu to submit.
Because of their failure in the first round, Li Rongguang had specially checked the Central Province Academy's information and knew that these girls were Sun Mo's personal students.
In that case, they definitely wouldn't leave them in the lurch.
Li Rongguang maintained his status and didn't go up. However, Chai Yong and the others couldn't wait any longer. They directly rushed over, their auras aggressive.
Li Ziqi tore a flame explosion spirit rune and a few lines of fire appeared. They immediately intertwined into a fireball and shot toward Chai Yong as the little sunny egg waved her hand.
Hu ~
The speed of the coconut-sized flame explosion ball was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived before Chai Yong. He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. He could only swing his blade to block it.
Bang!
The flame explosion ball exploded. Sparks flew in all directions, and the huge impact directly sent Chai Yong flying.
Bang!
Chai Yong fell into the bushes and howled in agony. His body was charred black, and there were even burn marks on it.
This scene directly caused the hearts of the other students to tremble.
"Is she so strong?"
Seeing Li Ziqi tearing another spirit rune and condensing a fireball in front of her, everyone's speed involuntarily slowed down.
Clearly, the one who rushed the fastest would be the unluckiest.
"The standard of this girl's spirit rune proficiency is very high!"
Cui Yi was shocked.
"What spirit rune is this? Why haven't I seen it before? "
Zhen Junyan frowned.
These two were the leading teachers from Chongde and knew some spirit runes. Upon seeing this, their faces were filled with bewilderment.
"This can't be a new spirit rune that this girl developed herself, right?"
Zhen Junyan guessed.
"Have you lost your mind?"
Cui Yi rolled his eyes.
At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly rang out in the dense forest. The expressions of the four teachers changed. One of them immediately chased after it.
There was no need to ask. One of the students must have been injured by the longbow-wielding girl.
"Trash!"
When Li Rongguang heard the scream, he no longer held back. He directly lunged toward Li Ziqi, preparing to take them down first.
Hu ~
The fireball shot toward Li Rongguang.
Li Rongguang, who was long prepared, tilted his head. After that, the fireball brushed past his face. The scorching temperature caused his hair to curl slightly.
Bang!
The fireball blasted into a tree that was so thick that a person could wrap their arms around it, directly exploding it into pieces.
"Don't even think about getting close!"
Lu Zhiruo wielded her sword and stepped forward, blocking Li Rongguang.
"Attack together!"
A student roared loudly. Taking the chance when Li Ziqi's fireball was exhausted, he chased after her again.
"Dodge!"
Li Rongguang swung his sword with brute force, and the two swords collided.
Ding!
Lu Zhiruo directly staggered from the impact and moved away.
"It's too late!"
Li Rongguang looked at Li Ziqi who was tearing the spirit rune and smiled in disdain. But at the next instant, his expression froze.
After the spirit rune was torn apart, there were no lines of fire. Instead, tiny electric arcs shot out, instantly forming a pineapple-sized lightning ball.
These lightning balls basically didn't need Li Ziqi's command. They were directly attracted by the static electricity and shot toward the nearest enemy.
Li Rongguang was in the worst state. Because he was very close to Li Ziqi, he basically couldn't dodge in time and was blasted by two lightning balls.
Crackle ~
Blue lightning spread through Li Rongguang's entire body, charring him black. He fell to the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
"Rongguang!"
Cui Yi was badly shocked and lunged over.
"Are you guys going to interfere in the battle?"
Sun Mo shouted.
According to the rules of the competition, teachers wouldn't intentionally interfere in battles between students. For example, Li Ziqi could totally capture Li Rongguang as a hostage and force these people to retreat.
"F * * * your mom!"
Cui Yi cursed, but his footsteps didn't stop.
"What spirit rune is this?"
Zhen Junyan was shocked. (I feel that my knowledge of spirit runes isn't bad and I've memorized over a thousand spirit rune diagrams. But why isn't this one among them?)
"Zhiruo, Lightning Protection!"
Li Ziqi instructed.
"Oh!"
The papaya girl answered and immediately took out a spirit rune and tore it apart. After that, five lightning balls floated beside her.
When the students from Chongde saw Li Rongguang's miserable state, they froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.
"I'll kill you guys!"
Chai Yong endured the intense pain and climbed up, lunging toward Li Ziqi. When he was three meters away from her, all the lightning balls surrounding the little sunny egg shot over.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Rumble!
Chai Yong was sent flying and turned into charcoal by the lightning.
"Chance!"
A male student saw that Li Ziqi's lightning balls had been depleted and immediately lunged over. He didn't hold back and slashed at Li Ziqi's shoulder.
(I'll cripple one of your arms first.)
Li Ziqi retreated while lifting her left hand. Her palm was vertical as she aimed it at the male student.
"What the hell?"
The male student frowned.
Wisps of wind element rapidly condensed, forming a translucent air bullet. After that, with a boom, it shot out like a rocket.
Bang!
The air bullet first deflected the male student's blade and then blasted into his shoulder.
BOOM!
It was as though he was hit by a cannonball. The male student's entire shoulder shattered, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
"Ahh!"
The male student fell to the ground, his expression contorted from the pain.
Swish!
The other students who were charging over immediately stood still.
Li Ziqi raised her right hand and aimed it at a female student.
That female student's countenance immediately turned pale and she hid behind a large tree.
"What is this?"
Zhen Junyan felt his scalp turning numb. He had never seen such a battle before. Fireballs, lightning, and even air bullets. There was basically no way for the enemy to get close.
If it was a group with rich experience, they might be able to kill Li Ziqi before her next attack was formed. However, these students couldn't do so. They had long since been scared out of their wits.
"I don't want to kill anyone, don't force me!"
Li Ziqi panted heavily as she stared at these people.
On the back of her hand, there was a mysterious and profound rune that was flashing with blue light. This was the Wind King Protection. Summoning air bullets was one of its abilities.
The scene was silent. After that, the sound of rustling leaves and a loud shout broke the silence.
"Group leader, she is back again. Quickly stop her!"
It was Chen Chen's voice.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that Ying Baiwu who had left earlier had returned. She was squatting on a tree branch and shooting furiously with her bow.
Swoosh!
The arrow pierced through the air. Although it didn't hit its target, it forced a student to fall to the ground.
At this moment, the students from Chongdesheng realized that Ying Baiwu hadn't planned to run at all. She wanted to make use of her speed to drag a portion of the students away and then defeat them one by one.
"Damn, we are being underestimated."
The students were infuriated, but when they saw the injured students and the lightning balls on Li Ziqi and the other two, they felt despair. How should they fight?
