Ninth class citizen

Chapter 148: Points Jumped to First Place

"Impossible." Haydn quickly pulled up the map. "The quest item is clearly in the middle and back part of the cave. At the speed we're going, we shouldn't encounter it until tomorrow afternoon. How did it end up here?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the pool of bubbling icy water.

The long-clawed pink-whiskered beast's long tubular body was hidden in the pool, with its six long and thick pink whip feet flying around in the cave. In the middle was a pair of huge claws, growing on another pair of green whip feet. From time to time, it would open its mouth wide and cut towards Nan Rong who was rolling back and forth in the air. After missing the target, it would retract its body and look for the next opportunity again.

Haydn looked at Nan Rong who was in danger and gave orders without any time to analyze the situation.

"Mechas help contain the enemy, Wood Element tries to control the tentacles, Ice Element and Fire Element assist Wood Element in attacking, Gold Element creates a protective net to protect the others!"

The long-clawed pink-whiskered beast's sneak attack was interrupted by Nan Rong. It then stretched out its claws and waved its claws for a long time but was unable to do anything to Nan Rong. Now that it saw more humans coming to provoke it, it became even angrier.

The single black eye stared at everyone dimly, and the speed of the whip was almost twice as fast as before. Qian Duoduo and another mecha soldier were caught off guard by the pink whip shadow. Soon they were all hit by the whip and smashed hard on the ice wall.

The only person with wood-type super powers in the team released long vines in an attempt to restrain its movements.

President Roland took the opportunity to use the most powerful second-order ice blade combo.

Unfortunately, this combination of ice blades that could cut through the alloy surface of the mecha could not even cut the densely packed suction cups on the whip feet.

"Immune to ice attacks?" Hayden immediately realized: "Then try fire and gold!"

Nan Rong heard it from afar, and before he could stop it, a fire bomb had already flown towards the long-clawed pink-whiskered beast.

It waved its pincers carelessly and clamped lightly. With a soft "bang" sound, the fire bomb exploded and blew a corner of the giant pincers into gray-brown.

It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.

The long-clawed pink-whiskered beast was completely enraged.

The second-level fire-type transcendent who released the explosive bomb had not yet lost the smile on his face when he was rolled up by the whip-like foot that had transformed into a phantom and thrown into the giant mouth that was slowly opening under the one-eyed man.

The mouth of the long-clawed pink-whiskered beast is a round black hole with rows of densely packed teeth inside, which is creepy just to look at.

It all happened so fast, so fast that when the team member screamed, he was less than two meters away from the huge mouth.

"Fal!" exclamations rang out one after another.

"Help!" Haydn shouted.

For the first time, he felt powerless because he didn't have enough power.

Qian Duoduo and another mecha warrior struggled to get up and sprayed flames at the long-clawed pink-whiskered beast.

They were afraid of shooting Farr, and ended up being nimbly avoided by the fast whip feet, and were whipped out again.

It’s too late. It’s really too late.

Faced with the smelly black hole that was getting closer and closer, Fal, the fire-type supernatural power user, had a blank mind and almost stopped thinking.

However, the next second, the long-clawed pink-whiskered beast suddenly raised its head and made a sharp and piercing sound.

The whip that was tightly binding him loosened and his body began to fall downwards.

A sky blue mecha dropped from the sky, its mechanical arms gently embraced his body, and rushed towards the cave entrance.

Hayden and the others had been watching everything in the field intently, so they saw Nan Rong's actions of saving people clearly. After the strange beast shifted its attention to others, she slowly climbed to the top of the rock in the mecha and moved silently towards the direction of the pool.

At the critical moment, she gripped the spear tightly and dived down towards the bald head of the long-clawed pink-whiskered beast below.

Caught off guard, it had no time to retract its whip feet and long pincers, and could only allow the sharp alloy spear to pierce its body from top to bottom.

Even until his feet touched the ground, Farr was still a little dazed.

Did I really escape so easily?
The beast with long claws and pink whiskers struggled for a long time before gradually stopping. Its body was half floating and half sinking in the pool, with its whip-like feet and huge claws lying on the ground without any sound.

Qian Duoduo and another mecha soldier wanted to go forward to investigate immediately, but before they got close, they heard Nan Rong shouting hurriedly: "Get out of the way!"

Although there were no signs, their trust in Nan Rong made them subconsciously leap back quickly.

While the man was still in the air, a bluish-white liquid spurted out from the pool.

The long-clawed, pink-whiskered beast's slightly opened single eye was filled with hatred. It used up the last of its strength and sprayed its weapons in a fan-shaped angle, covering most of the area in the cave.

A few drops of liquid accidentally stained the toes of Qian Duoduo's mecha, and the resistant coating on the surface was immediately corroded, turning into a mottled black color.

The two men narrowly escaped death and were both still frightened.

"what is that?"

"Ice-eroding liquid." Nan Rong said lightly.

Ice-corroding liquid! Everyone's face changed when they heard it. That was a method of attack that many ice-type beasts were good at, and it was a large-scale killing move. The ice liquid contained strong acid, and those who were hit would be corroded and frostbitten at the least, or their limbs would melt at the worst.

"So this should be a mid-level third-level or even higher-level long-clawed pink-whiskered beast." Haydn said, "Fortunately, Nan Rong reacted quickly, otherwise not only Fal would have died, but many more people would have died."

The other team members all responded, and the way they looked at Nan Rong was different from before.

It's not just admiration for her past achievements, but also more admiration and worship for the strong.

This is something that cannot be obtained by relying solely on family background, wealth, or the recommendation of others. It is also something that Haydn has always thought he has naturally in his grasp, but has never been able to truly possess.

After delivering its final blow of life, the long-clawed pink-whiskered monster became completely motionless.

But the team members learned from their mistakes and waited until the communicator sent a prompt that Xiluo Xinghua had successfully killed a third-level mid-stage monster and obtained 6000 points.

Not only that, he also obtained the second mission item, the one eye of the pink-bearded beast.

If you can successfully deliver this mission item, you can get another 5000 points.

Their points were immediately reflected on the real-time leaderboard. At the same time, there was also a full-band broadcast when they received the mission items.

The teams from the other six schools, no matter which channel they took, all heard the broadcast and noticed the points ranking.

"How dare Shilo Xinghua go to the Ice Wind Cave?" the Kama University team asked in surprise.

Just now, they finished eating the remaining energy bars and used up the last few pieces of source energy. Seeing that it was getting dark, they decisively announced that they had given up and admitted defeat. Now they were sitting on the patrol hovercraft on the way back.

They originally thought that no matter how bad they were, they still had Xiluo Xinghua to fall back on.

I didn’t expect that after the opponent didn’t get any points in the first few hours, his points suddenly started to increase slowly, and now he has even jumped to the top of the list?
This is totally unscientific, okay?
