Chapter 242 Brother, we're leaving now. Take care!

Libero and the others were there, watching the giant snake that could easily swallow all four of them whole. If it weren't for Xilin's insistence on trusting the cat, they would have already fled. However, even if they acted now, the chances of success were slim. They absolutely couldn't defeat such a giant snake; at the very least, it was impossible for all five of them to escape unscathed.

Is this the good-tempered friend the cat was talking about?

After seeing the snake's eyes, Wei Lai would never believe that this guy had a good temper.

Snakes don't have eyelids and can't blink, so the current situation is that this big snake is staring at them with those eyes that seem cold, cruel, and chilling to them, like being splashed with ice shards, chilling them to the bone.

Although the snake's eyes were cold, Xilin could tell that it treated the gray cat fairly well, and its eyes were not as cold as they had towards them.

The gray cat, tail held high, excitedly ran over and jumped onto the snake's body, which was as thick as a water vat, finally standing on its slightly raised head. It patted the snake's head with its paw, "Look, this is the great snake Bona, my new friend!"

"It's an anaconda," Bonner added.

His voice sounded a bit hoarse, naturally so, with a natural coldness in every tone, unlike King Kong's obvious baby voice. However, ignoring that, judging from this sentence alone, Orochi did indeed want to express friendliness.

"It means the same thing." After introducing the giant snake Bona, the gray cat went on to introduce Xilin and the others.

"Hello," Xilin greeted, stepping forward. The closer he got to Bona, the colder he felt.

Because of the gray cat, the giant snake agreed to take them away from the swamp. After all, it would take a lot of effort for them to leave the swamp safely on their own, and there were all sorts of other traps in the swamp and the dense forest. It would be foolish not to take advantage of such a good deal.

And so, under the pale starlight, five people and a cat rode on a large snake as it left the swamp and dense forest.

The snake was cool to the touch, and its scales had a metallic feel. Wei Lai couldn't help but touch it several times, but after being whipped by the snake's tail, he became much more docile.

"I've never been this close to a creature this big before," Ribero exclaimed.

"Me too!" Teita's eyes shone with excitement. He had ridden on Kong's shoulders before, but Kong was Kong and the giant snake was the giant snake. One belonged to the class Mammalia and the other to the class Reptilia. The species were different, and the feeling they gave people was also very different.

As Xilin and his companions rode on the giant snake and swaggered through the swamp under the cover of night, others lurking in the swamp clearly noticed this unique combination.

They were already wary of the large snake in this swampy forest area and had been proceeding with extreme caution. When they discovered the snake rapidly approaching them, some quickened their pace and fled, thinking that as long as they got out of the swampy forest area, they would be safe. Others, however, felt that they might not be able to escape the snake's pursuit, so they simply found a satisfactory place to hide nearby.

But they discovered that the giant snake acted as if it hadn't seen them at all, not pursuing the fleeing people ahead, and continuing to crawl at its original speed. Those hiding nearby, upon seeing that there were still people on the snake's back, were utterly astonished.

After Bona climbed through a dense forest, another pair of eyes opened in a bush with large leaves. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that a person was actually hiding in the bush. However, this person, like a chameleon, had changed the color and pattern of his skin to match the surroundings, and even his body temperature was similar to that of the surroundings. This made it difficult for even some heat-sensitive animals to detect him.

The man looked in the direction the snake had crawled away and cursed, "Damn it, they cheated!"

  

"The competition didn't say we couldn't pull strings, but who told us we didn't know that snake?" said the others hiding behind the bushes.

Bona was leading Xilin and the others forward when he suddenly stopped, looked back as if to confirm something, and then suddenly accelerated forward.

Tie Tou nearly fell, barely managing to cling to the snake's scales as he asked Xi Lin and the others, "What happened?"

"Someone's coming," Xilin replied.

The gray cat jumped onto the snake's head and patted Bonner: "What's going on?"

"A troublesome guy is catching up with us, honestly, what is she doing in a place like this?!" Bonner ran forward as fast as he could, as if fleeing a disaster.

The gray cat sensed that a human was chasing after it, but it was still curious about what made Bonner act this way.

The giant snake was fast, but the person chasing it was no slower. Five minutes later, a voice rang out from behind: "Bona, you bastard, stop right there!"

Although it was a woman's voice, it was so loud that it startled the insects that had already fallen asleep in the swampy forest, causing them to rustle and chirp.

"Was she using a megaphone?" Wei Lai asked incredulously.

"Clarence never uses that kind of stuff; her voice is loud enough to blow up a megaphone." Bonner continued running forward without looking back.

So, in the swampy forest, under the starlight of the night, a large snake fled like the wind, with a girl chasing closely behind, occasionally shouting a few words. Eventually, she stopped shouting, probably to conserve her energy, but she seemed determined not to give up until she caught up with Bona.

Because of the girl chasing closely behind him, Bona was quite fast, and by dawn he was already close to the edge of this large dense forest.

"That girl is still chasing us. Her stamina is incredible!" Ribello exclaimed. Putting himself in her shoes, Ribello was absolutely certain he couldn't maintain that speed for even an hour, but that girl had been chasing him for over four hours! And she hadn't been shaken off by Bona!

"What a menacing sight." Wei Lai glanced at the giant snake struggling to escape, wondering what it had done to offend that girl. Sigh, women, you really shouldn't offend them.

After finally escaping the area, Gray Cat led Xilin and the others down, shouting, "Bona, run!"

Bona ignored Xilin and the others and continued to flee in a different direction.

Xilin and his group hadn't gone far when they heard a loud "thump" behind them. Turning around, they saw a huge snake rolling several times on the ground after being beaten, and in front of the snake stood a girl with two small braids hanging down her sides and a ponytail tied in the back. She was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, as if she had just come from the training ground.

Xilin felt that the girl looked familiar, but it was indeed the first time he had met her.

"Why are you running?!" Corancie stared at Bonner, panting heavily.

"I didn't run, I just climbed a little faster!" Bonner insisted.

"You're still trying to deny it?!"

Thud! Another punch.

The gray cat's tail twitched, it raised its paw to touch its head, then looked at Bonner, who had been beaten and rolled around several times, and thought, "It must hurt a lot."

"Clarence, let me tell you, snakes aren't without temper!" Bonner roared from the other end.

"Temper? You dare to throw a tantrum?!" Corancie raised her voice.

Seeing that things were going badly, the gray cat jumped onto Xilin's shoulder and shouted loudly to Bona over there, "Brother, we're leaving first, take care!"

"You ran away, fine, but why yell like that? Isn't that just trying to provoke the snake? Couldn't you have drawn enemy fire or something?" Bona slapped the ground with its tail in anger.

"Holy shit! You ungrateful bastard!"

"Damn it, I have no ancestors!" it kept running. The gray cat was telling the truth; it really didn't have any ancestors. It was a rare species in the universe, a naturally formed semi-mechanical life form.

Xilin: "..." It's definitely not reliable to be on good terms with this cat.

No one knew what happened to that poor big guy in the end; all Xilin knew was that they could still vaguely hear the sounds coming from that direction even after they had gone quite a distance.

After traversing swampy and dense forest areas, Xilin and his group then passed through deserts and grasslands, encountering many strange species. These creatures caused quite a bit of trouble for the successful candidates. In contrast, the previous graduates caused far less trouble; they mostly just watched from the sidelines, chuckling to themselves. Therefore, the ones to watch out for are still the local tyrants.

As they were leaving the desert, Xilin and his companions saw a mutant armadillo lizard, its tail curled into a ball, rolling down the sandstone cliffs, muttering incoherently, "Run! Run!"

Not long after, a large scorpion burst out of the sandstone and crawled towards them. Xilin and the others ran for their lives again. Gray Cat had originally wanted to fight, but Xilin grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, tucked him into his arm, and dragged him away. It was best to avoid trouble for now.

To be honest, this extra long-distance running test did reveal the true value of some people. For example, Wei Lai had an exceptionally strong ability to withstand drought. Li Bello and Tie Tou, who were both half-humans, were also much stronger than Teita. When Teita was traversing the desert, Xilin and the others took turns carrying him for most of the journey.

The candidates Xilin saw were in no better condition than them; some were even ragged and disheveled. After all, not everyone could be escorted by local tyrants like King Kong and Bona.

After finally completing the run around the planet, everyone had the same thoughts: First, we finally finished; second, thankfully this planet wasn't as big as the one where our affiliated high school is located.

Some people dropped out during this extra round, all of them withdrawing voluntarily, since the instructors at the First Affiliated High School haven't yet conducted a large-scale elimination process. Even those who fell behind weren't eliminated by the instructors; this extra round was 40% about the result and 60% about the process.

The test takers had expected a rest period after the long run, but unfortunately, when 80% of them arrived, they were told they would be taken to another location to prepare for the next test. Those who arrived earlier in the supplementary long run were somewhat better off, having some time to recover while waiting, but those at the back were practically panting as they climbed onto the transport plane. Xilin and his group were relatively fortunate, arriving earlier; when they did, less than 30% of the test takers had finished.

According to Teita, after the three-plus-one test, there will be a collaborative test. Everyone originally guessed that the candidates would freely form groups to take the test, but unexpectedly, the so-called collaboration does not only refer to the candidates who came to participate in this selection test.

The transport plane was carrying fewer than seven hundred people for the collaborative test. After taking the test-takers to their destination, Xilin and his group disembarked and found themselves in a spacious open-air training ground. However, it was clearly not the testing area, but rather a gathering place. Many people were already there stretching and warming up.

Before Xilin could even discuss the collaborative test with Li Bello and the others, he heard a voice coming from the training ground: "Xilin! Xilin, it really is you! You really are my half-brother!"

What kind of talk is this...? What does it mean to be brothers who are not from the same father or mother?! Your linguistics teacher would probably want to go find a block of tofu and kill himself if he heard this.

The one yelling at the top of his lungs was none other than Prince Peter, that idiot prince. Yuan Xingming ran over beside him, and seeing the sly smiles on their faces, Xilin had a bad feeling.

Despite the many varied gazes, Peter, still excited, ran over and gave Xilin a big hug. After talking, he patted Xilin's shoulder hard: "I was just talking about you and you showed up! You're truly my brother!"

"Xilin, it's so great to see you! I never expected you to actually be among this batch of examinees!" Yuan Xingming was also very excited.

After Peller and Yuan Xingming arrived, another person came over. Based on what Peller had said before, Xilin guessed that this was Ulagano, the member of the Blizzard Wendice royal family who had been caught by his father and sent back to the army for retraining because he was unlucky enough to be the last one drawn.

"What...what's going on?" Xilin slapped Peter's hand away and asked.

Peter chuckled on without answering, then looked at the gray cat, "Phew, I've missed you so much!"

The gray cat stood on Xilin's shoulder with a stern face, ignoring him, thinking to itself: I missed you so much and you didn't even say anything, not even a fish cake.

"Hoo-hoo, after the test, I'll treat you to a whole fish set meal and freshly baked fish cakes at the Third Affiliated Hospital's restaurant!" Peter added.

The gray cat grinned, "I'm so happy to see you all!"

Wei Lai and the others: "..." Really?

While Peter and his group were chatting with Xilin, someone on the training field shouted, "Peter, you guys actually know people over there! That's so unfair!"

"You can only be envious and jealous! If you're so capable, go find one yourself!" Peter said smugly: Look, I know people here! These are the future top students, my brothers who aren't even from the same parents!

"Hey, why is there a child here?" Ulagano said, looking at Teita, who was standing not far behind Xilin with Libero and the others.

Upon hearing Ulagano's words, Peller and Yuan Xingming looked over and chuckled, "Heh, I just noticed."

Teita was upset. "You can't look down on my height like that!"

"Who is this kid? Do you know him?" Peter asked Sirin. Usually, children like this are assessed through a separate process. It's rare to see someone like this participating in a selection test alongside teenagers and adults in their twenties.

"Oh, his name is Teita, and next to him are Libero, Wei Lai, and Tie Tou. The five of us will share a dormitory," Xilin said.

"Teita? That name sounds familiar... Ah! You're that old clam..."

Before Peter could finish speaking, Yuan Xingming kicked him away, then turned and smiled at Xilin and the others, saying, "Ignore him, he's been talking nonsense lately!"
