"You're being courteous with me again." Wang Zhong finally relaxed. "Fortunately, they're all superficial wounds. Looks like our luck is pretty good."
Wang Zhong spoke casually, but Si Jiali could see that Wang Zhong was covered in wounds and his clothes were tattered. It was obvious that he had blocked a lot of hail for her when he had descended. "You're too risky. Do you not want your life?"
Thinking back to the situation at that time, Si Jiali felt some lingering fear. However, Wang Zhong had unexpectedly followed her down without any hesitation. In fact, if she had been ignored, Wang Zhong would definitely have found a way to stay up there.
Wang Zhong gave a faint smile and said, "I didn't think too much about it at that time. You should rest first. I'll go check out the terrain. It's already been two days, so we have to leave this place as soon as possible."
Si Jiali nodded her head. She didn't know why, but as long as Wang Zhong was by her side, nothing else seemed important. Looking around, she saw that this was a natural ice cave. The two of them should have fallen to the bottom of the cliff. She really didn't know how Wang Zhong had managed to land here. From what she knew, even a Heroic Soul Stage soldier wouldn't be able to escape. She knew that Wang Zheng was strong, but she didn't expect him to be strong to this extent. He also had a fire attribute special ability. If not, the two of them would have frozen to death here. … If that was the case, wouldn't they be considered as fated mandarin ducks?
Si Jiali hastily touched her face. Why was she still thinking about such nonsense at this time? She slowly circulated her soul power to increase her resistance. Just like Wang Zhong had said, her luck was pretty good. The most serious injury was her head, which had instantly knocked her unconscious. The other parts of her body were still fine.
Si Jiali struggled to stand up, but her entire body was powerless. At this moment, Wang Zhong returned with a plump mutated pangolin in his hand. "Don't move. You still need to recuperate for a period of time. There's no rush."
"I'm fine. We have to leave as soon as possible. This competition is extremely important to us." Si Jiali clenched her teeth. However, willpower wasn't omnipotent. Wang Zhong shook his head and helped Si Jiali to sit down.
"Don't worry. Grai will have a way." Wang Zhong smiled.
"He, what way does he have?" Si Jiali gawked slightly. This was the sound of her stomach rumbling.
"Haha, let's eat and talk. Let me show you my skills. That fellow Grai actually underestimated my skills." Said Wang Zhong. Very quickly, he finished dealing with the pangolin. Using a runic sword to skewer it, a ball of flame ignited in his right hand and he started to roast it.
"Usually, Grai doesn't reveal his true abilities. However, he's definitely reliable during critical moments. Wasn't that the case during the training in the mass burial region? His strength is sufficient to deal with such a situation. Therefore, our mission is to walk out of here. Let him handle the rest."
Scarlet was skeptical. Grai was very strong, but was he that strong? She didn't know.
"It smells so good …"
"Haha, I haven't eaten anything for a long time. I'm also hungry. Don't worry, leave the hunting to me. When your body recovers, we'll crawl out," said Wang Zhong. Scarlet nodded her head, but she didn't know what crawling out meant.
"When did you awaken your ability?" Si Jiali asked curiously.
"About that, a while ago, but now it can only be used for barbecue." Replied Wang Zhong in a self-mocking manner. His unorthodox training method had increased the strength of his Spiritual Soul. However, it had also caused his fire attribute special ability to become excessively large, making it extremely hard to control. Other special ability users could use it to their heart's content, and even pursue the limits of their power. However, Wang Zhong had to use all his strength to control it. If he wasn't careful, his fire attribute special ability would go berserk. Even he wasn't sure if his fleshly body could endure such power.
"Don't be anxious. How long has it been since you've awakened your ability? Our chances of success have increased!" Si Jiali felt happy for Wang Zhong. It didn't take long for the meat to be roasted. Although the taste wasn't all that great, both of them were extremely hungry. Very quickly, the 2 of them finished their meal. After finishing their meal, Si Jiali felt her eyelids fighting against each other, before quickly falling asleep.
Wang Zhong controlled the bonfire. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to ignite the wood. However, it was unable to endure Wang Zhong's full strength. With the warm environment and Wang Zhong by her side, Si Jiali quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The Heaven's Fate City Competition Zone was the same as the Grozny City Competition Zone. Squadron after squadron were released from the armoured train before arriving at Grozny City. Just like that, the first elimination round for the wilderness training, hunting, and hunting began.
Unlike the icy cold environment of Grozny City, the Heaven's Fate City's summer was hot and humid. The forests and grasslands were separated by big and small rivers and lakes. The wilderness here was even more dangerous than the snow and ice of Grozny City. Within the dense forests, in the water, in the sea of grass that was taller than a person, there were all sorts of mutated beasts present. The number of mutated beasts present here was over a hundred times that of Grozny City.
The difficulty of surviving in the wilderness was even greater. However, the advantage was that the squadrons that were familiar with each other weren't purposefully separated from each other. Instead, cooperation was the only way for some squadrons to find a way out.
Even though they were cooperating, there were still quite a few people who were injured on the first day. Among them, the squadron that had travelled the furthest was less than 20 kilometres away from their starting camp. Only after 7 to 8 days did they manage to adapt to the environment here.
In the morning, one wouldn't be able to see one's fingers in front of one's face, as the entire place was covered in a dense fog, while the humid air carried a faint fishy smell.
The 3 B rank squadrons from the northern states were doing their best to adapt to the hot and humid environment. Such an environment was continuously squeezing out their mental and physical strength, especially their mental strength. Their sweaty skin appeared as though countless leeches were constantly sucking their blood. This scene was absolutely not something that they had imagined out of thin air. Instead, it was something that they had encountered while crossing a small river. Countless mutated leeches had suddenly surged out from the depths of the river while they were crossing it.
To the northerners, they would rather face a pack of Rank 4 mutated Ice Wolves head-on than face those squirming blood-sucking demons.
All of a sudden, the urgent warning whistle of a scout rang out from the front!
Following the whistle, intense tremors shook the ground, as well as the sharp whistling sounds of the air being swept past.
"Defend!!!"
The 4 heavy soldiers from the 3 squadrons immediately took a few steps forward. After determining the direction of the whistle, they raised their 3 heavy shields in unison.
Seemingly at the instant when their defences were formed, a black shadow ferociously slammed into them.
BANG …
The tranquil atmosphere was suddenly shattered by an intense sound. The impact of the high-speed and powerful collision caused the tranquil fog to surge crazily, appearing just like the waves of a storm that had suddenly appeared in the tranquil sea.
"Careful! It's burrowed into the ground! "
"Pay attention to your feet!"
The 4 heavy soldiers roared out loudly, exchanging the information that they had seen during the short collision.
"Captain, it's a dragon fish beast! An injured dragon fish beast!"
The captains of the 3 squadrons exchanged glances with each other in shock and joy. The "easy" mode of the Heaven's Fate City competition zone didn't require them to hunt for the emblems of other squadrons. Instead, they just needed to hand over the spine of a dragon fish beast, and they would be able to advance to the next round. The maximum number of squadrons that could be formed was 3. Naturally, there were some arrogant squadrons that disdained to do such a thing.
