The battle was reaching its climax. It was only a matter of time before the Snow Ogre was killed. Li Xiang thought for a moment and decided to leave the Winged Chariot in the snow. He could control it from a distance anyway. It would be bad if they saw him at such a close distance.
In the battle, the young man in the lead stood up next to the Snow Ogre's body. He frowned and looked at the fresh scratch on his body. The Snow Ogre's claws had almost pierced through his stomach during the last attack. Even though he was wearing a Four-material combat suit, he couldn't have withstood the fatal blow. The metal rings on the combat suit had all burst and gray gas spurted out. He was in a sorry state.
"Snow, didn't I tell you to cover for me when I was charging at it? Why didn't you shoot? " The young man's tone wasn't very good. He was yelling at a girl in holy clothes who was hiding in a corner. The holy clothes were the traditional clothes of the Church. Usually, only talented orphans would be adopted and raised by welfare organizations like the Church.
"I, I … I'm sorry, Feng Jian. I was wrong. Sob, sob, sob." The girl in holy clothes sobbed and apologized.
"Do you know that if I had reacted a little slower, I would have been the one to be cut open?" Feng Jian still wouldn't let it go. His face was full of anger. "The Feng family spent so much money to bring you to my side, not to let you watch the show, but to protect me! If I die, none of you will live. "
"Feng Jian, don't go too far! Xue Ni was worried about hurting you, that's why … "Standing beside Xue Ni, a tall girl in a martial arts suit gently patted Xue Ni's back and roared at Feng Jian angrily. Her long ponytail bounced up and down behind her head, looking very energetic.
"Alright, alright. Tianyin, don't say anything. Feng Jian, don't mind her. Let's keep looking for the Snow Ogre." A young man jumped out to smooth things over. Feng Jian turned his head and snorted.
Her family was from the second district of the Subcontinent District and she was one of the victims of the astral vortex. Her parents had reopened a martial arts club after they were forced to move to the first district of the Subcontinent District. They had been living in a numbered city in the north ever since. Her parents had spent a lot of money to get in touch with the Feng family in order to participate in the ultimate trial.
Since she was his partner, Feng Jian could not be too harsh on her. The others were all trial takers hired by the Feng Family. In order to gather all of them, the Feng Family had emptied their savings to obtain a single Magic Scroll.
Everything was for the sake of allowing Feng Jian to stand out in the final trial and enter a good university.
Li Xiang purposely stepped on the snow to make a sound. Chanlu Temple's Tianyin quickly sensed the movement and suddenly turned his head to shout, "Who is it?"
Her voice made Feng Jian and the others stop in their tracks. Li Xiang pretended to be lost and ran over with a smile.
"Well, well, I'm a trial taker from nearby. I think I got lost. I saw you here, so I came over to check it out." Li Xiang scratched the back of his head. His acting skills were superb.
Chanlu Temple's Tianyin frowned and looked at him, hesitating.
"A lost trial taker? What do you want? " Feng Jian stepped forward and sized him up with interest. Li Xiang seemed to be in a difficult situation and his strength was average. Soon, Feng Jian lowered his vigilance.
"I, well, I want to go with you. I don't want points. I just want to follow you!" Li Xiang made up a random story. Judging from the conversation, these people must know where the Snow Ogres lived. He could make use of this information to save himself the trouble of looking for them.
"Feng Jian, we don't know where this guy came from …" Chanlu Temple's Tianyin frowned. She could faintly smell danger from Li Xiang. Martial artists were very sensitive to danger. This was one of the things her father had taught her since she was a child. Over the years, she had only smelled this kind of danger from her father.
It was not this strong.
"I have my own plans." Feng Jian interrupted her impatiently. He turned to Li Xiang and said, "It's fate that we met. Brother, what's your name? If you don't mind, you can come with us to hunt the Snow Ogres' nest. If you can kill them, the points are yours."
"Ah, I'm Li Xiang. Snow Ogres? Isn't that an underground creature worth 4 points? I've only hunted Snow Wolves before … "Li Xiang pretended to be hesitant and tempted.
This Feng Jian was so ruthless to his own people just now. Now, he was so polite to him. Even a ghost would know that something was wrong. However, this was good. They were both scheming against each other. If they were unwilling to bring him along, he might have to use force.
"Pfft, Snowfield Wolf …" A young man behind Feng Jian laughed out loud. Wasn't that the weakest Snowfield creature? It was only 1 point. They gave up after killing it once.
The price was too low.
"It's okay, Brother Li Xiang. My name is Feng Jian. I come from the Feng family of City 0266. If you follow me, you don't have to worry about not being able to defeat these underground creatures." Feng Jian hugged Li Xiang affectionately, looking very easy to get along with.
Li Xiang liked this kind of self-righteous children the most. If the final trial was filled with idiots like this, he would not have to worry about not being able to enter the Chronometer Tower Consortium.
The group ran quickly on the snowy plains. Soon, Li Xiang became familiar with the girl called Snow. She was the weakest in the group. Although she was protected by Chanlu Temple's Tian Yin, she was still very easy to get close to.
It turned out that Feng Jian's reward was to obtain the coordinates of the nearby creatures. They had their eyes on this Snow Ogre nest. Previously, they had tried to lure a few out to hunt, but he probably felt that the efficiency was too low. This time, he wanted to invade deeper.
The strength of this group was mixed. In terms of the three basic skills, Feng Jian and Chanlu Temple's Tian Yin were the strongest, roughly at the level of a Level 1 Magic Apprentice. In terms of equipment and resources, Feng Jian was far stronger than the others.
Chanlu Temple's Tian Yin knew many ancient martial arts, and her combat style was similar to Ji Yanqing's. She was the main attacker in the group.
Snow Ogre carried a sniper rifle and was the only sniper in the group.
In any team, snipers were very popular. Li Xiang could see that Snow Ogre was very talented in sniping. Her Mechanical Sense should be good, but it was a pity that her personality was too weak. She was not a good hunter at all.
After coming into contact with some of the trial-takers, Li Xiang gradually came to understand that most of the trial-takers were actually very ordinary. They had awakened their player talents after the unified recruitment exam, and their bodies had been honed through two months of military training. Most of the talented ones could barely reach the standard of a Level-1 Magic Apprentice. Other than that, they had learned basic combat skills such as gunfighting.
They did not have weights, so it was impossible for them to learn magic. They also did not have the hidden techniques of the large families. To Li Xiang, their combat strength was the weakest of the weakest.
In the past three months, he had grown too quickly. Everyone around him was a giant among men, so he had the illusion that everyone was quite strong.
In fact, it was very rare to be able to successfully instantiate a magic circuit before entering university.
Most of the children of the upper class families were like Feng Jian, spending a lot of money to form their own small teams to hunt for points in the early stages.
The children of the upper class all had the idea of training themselves. Even if they had a team, they would not spend money to buy magic scrolls.
When Li Xiang asked Baimiya, she awkwardly said that she had forgotten that she could use magic scrolls, which made him smile bitterly.
Under Feng Jian's lead, they once again came to a stronghold of the Snow Ogres. Although they were underground creatures, they also had strongholds on the surface to guard against enemies.
The group casually walked to the stronghold and was quickly discovered by the Snow Ogre sentries.
Li Xiang was speechless. Did these fellows not know how to plan and analyze the situation? It would be strange if they were not discovered by the sentries if they rushed over like hotheads.
There were a total of three Snow Ogres guarding the stronghold. One of them immediately retreated underground to report, while the other two charged over.
Feng Jian was so scared that his face turned green. It had been difficult to fight one just now. The sentries were stronger than ordinary Snow Ogres, and now there were two of them.
"Feng Jian, why are you spacing out? Give the order." Chanlu Temple's Tian Yin wrapped a bandage around his fist and got into a fighting stance. The others were also waiting for him to give the order.
Feng Jian came back to his senses and took a deep breath. "The seven of us will split into two groups. I will lead one group to deal with the one on the left. Tian Yin will lead the other group to attack the one on the right. Li Xiang will protect Xueni for now. Xueni will support whichever side is at a disadvantage."
Fortunately, his mind was still clear. The basic qualities of an upper-class family made him much calmer than the others. The two groups attacked separately. Li Xiang was still thinking about how to take advantage of the situation. This was perfect.
Xueni, who was beside him, distanced herself skillfully. She looked for a sniping spot and set up her sniper rifle.
Who would have thought that such a weak girl like her would actually use a Thunderbolt Mark 1 sniper rifle with an extremely strong recoil. At least the preparation work was done well, and she looked like she was using it. However, as soon as she placed her hands on the sniper rifle, her petite body began to tremble slightly.
"Are you scared?" Li Xiang leaned against her and crawled down. His voice returned to normal, completely different from the silly look from before.
"Mm, mm … I'm always scared. I'm scared that I'll hurt them." Xueni was focused on the battle and did not notice his change.
Li Xiang smiled and tapped the body of the rifle lightly.
"The essence of a sniper rifle is to be calm, calm, and calm. You're hurting yourself and others by doing this. "
"I know, but I …" Xue Ni was on the verge of tears. She just couldn't control her emotions.
"Give me the gun." Li Xiang calmly took the sniper rifle from her hand. Xue Ni wanted to say something, but he covered her soft lips with his hand. She could only make a "wuwuwu" sound. Her body was pressed down by him, and she could not move.
"Such strength …" Xueni thought as a sense of fear slowly crept into her heart.
Looking at Li Xiang's side profile, he did not look like a newbie anymore.
Li Xiang knew that if he did not make a move, this battle group would most likely be wiped out. The combat power of the sentinels was above his estimation. Tian Yin's left hand was dripping with blood. She had lost half of her combat power. She took a few hits to protect her companions. However, the people behind her did not lend a helping hand when she was in danger.
"Kaboom —"
A sharp and ear-piercing gunshot sounded in the quiet snowfield.
