"Stop!"
Huang Yan suddenly raised his hand, and the other three immediately stopped in their tracks.
"Step back! I detected a team two kilometers straight ahead. Four people."
"From another military academy?"
"Most likely. They haven't spotted me yet."
If they hadn't detected Sir Huang, it meant their mental power level was definitely not S...
Zhang Lyra and Jian Jingyu exchanged a glance.
"Should we avoid them or...?"
"We are in the same zone... the chances of running into them are too high. To avoid being backstabbed while fighting star beasts, let's test the waters first?"
"How do we do that?"
"Come here..."
Since entering the rainforest yesterday afternoon, Quincy had led his team to kill one star beast and one mutated beast, earning twenty points.
That damn heavy rain last night had kept him from getting a solid sleep!
A habit of over a decade was hard to change overnight!
But why wasn't Hiranuma Yusho from the same school affected like this!? Just because he was an S-class!?
It didn't matter... he believed the problems he faced must also be happening to the others!
He had undergone special training, after all. Even if he didn't sleep well, it wouldn't affect his mental power performance!
Yesterday morning, he hadn't gained the upper hand when arguing with the two teams from Qilin Military Academy and the First Military Academy. God bless, he must run into them in the rainforest this time... he would eliminate those two teams with his own hands!
His mental power suddenly sensed something.
"Wait, someone is here... two thousand meters ahead, two people! No mental barriers set up, they might be combatants!"
"Two?"
The assaulter, Bian Shuruo, hesitated for a moment.
"Why would there be only two people?"
"...Either they were sent out to scout the path, or someone is injured and can't move, or the other two have already been eliminated... of course, it could also be a trap!"
Quincy continued to probe.
"But their mental power is at most A-class... they seem to have noticed me... Chase them!"
He gave the order with only a slight hesitation.
His team had two S-class combatants. It was currently confirmed that the opposing side had two A-classes. The worst-case scenario was that they had the same lineup, but they wouldn't necessarily lose!
They had walked for so long before encountering a single team! He didn't believe two teams from the same military academy had already joined forces!
In case it really was one of the first few scenarios he just guessed, if he didn't eliminate them now, was he supposed to wait to be backstabbed?
The two people ahead ran faster and faster, seemingly fleeing in panic!
Quincy was now seventy percent sure that the other party was afraid of being caught!
When he could finally see the figures,
"Those two women from Qilin!!"
Great! He had finally found them!!
He definitely wouldn't mistake them! The inferior breed, and that half-black one!
"Eliminate them!!"
The two girls looked back at the four of them with extremely surprised expressions. Then, as if they had made a decision, they split up, one running to the left and the other to the right!
"Ha! Bian Shuruo, you take Li You and chase the half-orc!"
"Yes!"
No matter how awesome an A-class combatant was, what could they do against an S-class assaulter?
The commander of this squad, Huang Yan, was only an A-class too! They were bound to win!!
Wang Tianwei was actually running very fast! But the two people behind her had exceptionally long legs!
The distance was quickly shortened! And shortened again!
"Bang!"
A paintball was fired, and the fleeing girl in front dodged it nimbly, as if she had eyes on the back of her head!
Quincy couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Stinking rat! Tyson! Let's go faster!"
The viewers in the livestream room found this chase incredibly thrilling!
"Wang Tianwei's little short legs can really move!"
"How did she see the paintball behind her?"
"Did you forget about Huang Yan and Jian Jingyu? They have internal team communication!"
"I have a question. Since they are both A-class, why did Quincy seem completely unaware of Huang Yan just now?"
"A-class and A-class are different too! We have an A-class in our school who can fight on par with an S-class!"
"It's one thing for combatants... but for a commander to remain completely undetected by someone of the same level, Huang Yan must be comparable to an S-class, right!?"
"This guy is pretty ruthless! He actually pushed two girls out to act as bait!?"
"Well, he couldn't exactly push an S-class combatant out either..."
Wang Tianwei's path was blocked by a giant fallen tree lying across the ground. The tree was hundreds of meters tall! It was too late to go around it!
Immediately after, another paintball struck. Wang Tianwei dodged to the left... When she turned around, the two had already closed in!
She pulled out her paintball gun backhandedly.
"Don't come any closer! Or I'll shoot!"
Having missed both shots, Quincy didn't want to waste any more paintballs. Besides, he wanted to have a few words with Wang Tianwei!
"Where are Huang Yan and Jian Jingyu?"
"Behind you!"
Quincy abruptly turned his head, but there was nothing behind him!
When he turned back, Wang Tianwei was indeed trying to escape. In a fit of anger, he fired a paintball.
"Even if you run away, your teammates won't be able to escape!"
At these words, Wang Tianwei's body stiffened for a moment. After a long while, she turned around as if she had given up and said dejectedly,
"If you want to eliminate me, just do it already!"
"Heh."
Seeing that she had finally given up struggling, Quincy said,
"Were those two eliminated?"
"You're the one who got eliminated!"
Wang Tianwei said angrily.
Confirmed!
Something must have happened to Huang Yan and Jian Jingyu! Otherwise, they wouldn't have let two girls wander so far from the camp completely defenseless.
"Injured? Poisoned?"
Hearing the last word, Wang Tianwei unconsciously widened her eyes.
Although she didn't speak, her eyes revealed the words: How did you know!?
Quincy smiled slightly. Just as he thought!!
Little did he know, the audience watching the livestream were completely dumbfounded.
"...An actor! Definitely a seasoned actor!!"
"Look at this progressive emotion! This terrified look! Tsk tsk tsk, the male and female leads in that recently airing drama should come and learn from this, okay!?"
"Hahahaha, just came from Goldfish's livestream room. He's up in the tree constantly pinching his own thigh, not daring to let go!"
"Quincy, open your eyes and look closely! She's totally black-hearted on the inside!"
"What an idiot!"
Walck's leading teacher simply couldn't believe that a commander could actually be fooled by such exaggerated acting.
He had seen the news yesterday morning as well and had criticized Quincy when he got back... That kid was obviously holding in his energy, wanting to win back a round!
"Eliminate her! Eliminate her first!"
"Take me to them."
Quincy finally spoke.
"..."
"Take me to them, and I won't eliminate you."
Quincy pointed his paintball gun up at the sky to show his sincerity.
"Anyway, those two must be poisoned, right?
Without antidotes and serums in the rainforest, they won't last long... The broadcast said you guys have already gotten thirty points. You wouldn't want it to drop to zero so soon, would you?
I can spare you, but as for how long you can survive on your own after this, I won't care."
Quincy looked at Wang Tianwei with certainty. She would definitely agree!
He deliberately said the last sentence to increase his credibility, so he could eliminate them all in one swoop later! Then he would tell Wang Tianwei that all is fair in war!
Hahahahaha, the face he lost yesterday would be earned back today!
What was all that about winning the championship!? Pack your bags and go back to Planet Shuomo!
