"Lan Xuanyu, you …" She raised her head abruptly but only saw a blur in front of her eyes. In the next moment, a strong hand was already strangling her neck.
"Lan Xuanyu, what are you doing?" She spat out these few words incoherently, and the tightening hand seemed to want to take away her life.
Lan Xuanyu said indifferently, "No one can insult my brother. Liu Feng is my brother, so is Qian Lei. You have your team members, and you want to get points to help your team members. However, I also have my teammates, and I have to be responsible for them.
"If it wasn't for my decision, we wouldn't have needed to save you at all. We would have waited for the other party to kill you, and then we would have defeated them. You can see that with our combat power, we can totally do it. It's because of my wrong decision that the results that should have belonged to us were snatched away by you, and your team's points definitely won't be as much as Li Yaoming's team. Even if we kill you, the total number of points we originally obtained will also be reduced. This is my mistake, and I have to be responsible for it.
"Ye Lingtong, listen carefully. Your decision today made it impossible for us to be friends, let alone partners. You've betrayed our trust. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and go our separate ways. Goodbye. "
"You dare …" Ye Lingtong suddenly realized something, and her eyes widened as she screamed.
Lan Xuanyu closed his eyes, and there was a hint of hesitation on his face. Liu Feng, who was beside him, also couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He said softly, "Xuan Yu, you …"
"Crack!" Lan Xuanyu's wrist suddenly exerted force and finished off Ye Lingtong.
A white light flashed, and Ye Lingtong disappeared. A ball of thick red light also entered Lan Xuanyu's body and disappeared.
On the other side, Qian Lei, who had just finished copying, was also shocked. He looked at Lan Xuanyu in shock. "Xuan Yu, this isn't good, right? How are we going to explain this to the class when we go back? "
Lan Xuanyu closed his eyes as his chest heaved up and down. After a long while, he finally calmed down.
"It's my responsibility, I'll take it. I'm sorry, it's my fault, "he said in a deep voice.
Liu Feng's expression was somewhat complicated. Just now, Lan Xuanyu's words of "brother" had deeply touched him. "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by you have to bear the responsibility? Aren't we one? We are a team. Everything is decided by us. If there is any responsibility, we will bear it together. "
"The madman is right. Qian Lei also walked over and patted Lan Xuanyu on the shoulder.
In fact, getting rid of Ye Lingtong, even in the virtual world, had quite a big impact on Lan Xuanyu.
He took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "I have to do this. I have no choice. She betrayed us and took the points. How could such a person be our temporary teammate? She will become a ticking time bomb that could threaten our upcoming assessment at any time. If it only affected me, perhaps I could leave in a huff. But she affected us as a whole. Teacher Yin said before that on the battlefield, the most terrifying attack never comes from the enemy in front, but from the allies behind. I can't entrust our backs to such a person, and even more so, I can't let her continue like this. If I indulge her this time, then perhaps next time, in the real world, on a real battlefield, she will do the same. If that's the case, she might really die. I hope she can learn some sense from this incident. As for the school, if they want to punish … "
Before Lan Xuanyu could continue, Liu Feng and Qian Lei had already said in unison, "We'll bear the responsibility together."
Lan Xuanyu turned to look at them. The pain from getting rid of Ye Lingtong had dissipated by a lot. He told himself in his heart that this was the virtual world after all!
But he also asked himself, if this was the real world, facing such a situation, would he still be able to do it?
He firmly gave a negative answer and couldn't help but laugh bitterly because of it.
Just then, a series of sounds came from the bushes in the distance, causing the three of them to snap out of their current state of mind. They didn't dare to delay and immediately climbed up the surrounding trees.
They had expended a certain amount of energy previously, so they weren't in their best condition right now.
The sound came very quickly. The three of them had just climbed up a tree when with a "swoosh", a huge figure had already landed where they were previously.
That sturdy body landed on the ground with a muffled "bang" sound.
Seeing its appearance, the three of them who were hiding in the trees were stunned. Because what appeared below was the 1,000-year Gold Silk Ape that they had been guarding for the entire night and hadn't finished cultivating.
Compared to before, its body size now looked bigger, and its golden fur had grown out again. As its body moved, golden light flowed like golden waves. Its pair of eyes were bright and full of expression, and its pupils had turned golden. This should be the change brought about by absorbing the Gold-eyed Leopard's skull.
It was also because of this pair of golden eyes that they were completely certain that this was the 1,000-year Gold Silk Ape from before.
Qian Lei looked at Lan Xuanyu, and Lan Xuanyu nodded at him.
Qian Lei then released his spiritual undulations and tried to communicate with the Gold Silk Ape.
"Roar —" The Gold Silk Ape let out a few low growls and waved at the three of them on the tree.
Its movements were actually very similar to a human's. The three of them looked at each other before jumping down.
Qian Lei said, "It said that it's here to fulfill its promise. It made us wait for too long and apologized to us. "
Lan Xuanyu looked at the 1,000-year Gold Silk Ape in front of him with a complicated gaze and said softly, "Seems like sometimes, humans can't even compare to soul beasts!"
This Gold Silk Ape was so faithful to its promise. In comparison, Ye Lingtong's selfish actions were really clumsy. How could this not make the three of them sigh?
"Thank you, you're not late. You don't have to apologize. This is the crucial moment," Lan Xuanyu said in a low voice.
The 1,000-year Gold Silk Ape let out a low growl and nodded at him.
Lan Xuanyu said, "Qian Lei, let it be on guard first. We'll recover our strength first."
"Okay."
With the Gold Silk Ape watching over them, the three of them quickly meditated and recovered their energy. This was also the strategy that Lan Xuanyu came up with. No matter what, they had to maintain their best condition.
From what Ye Lingtong and the rest had encountered, it could be seen that once they were in a weak state, they might meet with a calamity. This had nothing to do with strength.
When the three of them recovered to their best condition, Lan Xuanyu pondered for a while and said, "Seems like we have to start looking for people."
Qian Lei asked doubtfully, "Looking for people?"
"Yes." Lan Xuanyu nodded silently. "We have a total of 100 teams. It seems like a lot, but to meet in this vast Star Dou Forest is actually no different from finding a needle in a haystack. But in such a short period of time, we met Ye Lingtong and Li Yaoming's teams one after another. What does this mean? This means that in the last three days, it's very likely that the Shrek Academy took the initiative to let us meet. This also means that although we don't know how they did it, our 100 teams are very likely to be restricted to a certain area, and there's a high chance that we'll meet.
"So, I think that in these seven days of the test, the first four days should be for us to accumulate points, and the last three days should be for us to engage in a chaotic battle to compete for points and determine the final ranking.
During this process, we'll deal with soul beasts and soul masters separately, so that they can better see the overall strength of each team. So, in the next two days, the most important thing for us isn't to face soul beasts, but to be careful of our own kind. "
