Chapter 188 Each Has Gains
The surroundings were a complete mess, ravaged by the ape-ghost king.
Broken stones, trees, and even fellow ape-ghosts were all the same in the eyes of the crazed ape-ghost king.
“Medal, found it.” Jiang Xiao pulled a blood-stained medal from the corpse of an ape-ghost. It was slightly larger than a one-yuan coin, and after wiping off the blood, a smiling face could vaguely be seen on the medal.
What kind of sick joke was this?
Jiang Xiao retrieved the Star Bead from the ape-ghost's head, earning two thousand five hundred yuan!
Sweet!
He looked up at the others and said, “How's it going?”
Xia Yan quickly harvested Star Beads and said, “One medal, three ape-ghost Star Beads.”
Wow,
Another seven thousand five hundred yuan!
“Li Weiyi, lead the way,” Han Jiangxue ordered. “Be careful and stay alert.”
Xia Yan said excitedly, “There should be more corpses ahead. The ape-ghost king has already cleared the path for us. Let's hurry and catch up, or we'll lose it.”
Han Jiangxue glanced at Xia Yan coldly, “Losing it is better than being discovered.”
Xia Yan pouted aggrievedly, “Ugh…”
The ape-ghost king, as the vanguard, charged forward, stirring up chaos in this area.
Fortunately, this area was far from Task Point Number 1, and no other teams had ventured deep into this remote western region, otherwise, many teams would have suffered.
What is the solution to worries?
Scavenging!
As the elite team of Jiangbin No. 1 High School, as the seeded team in this year's Beijiang Province High School League, Team 76, led by Jiang Xiao, had completely gone astray and turned into a "scavenging team."
They followed the ape-ghost king, picking up corpses, Star Beads, medals, weapons…
They rarely encountered living savages or ape-ghosts on the way, because the ape-ghost king had passed through, and those who could run had run, and those who couldn't were smashed into corpses.
The wonderful time lasted for more than 20 minutes until the earth-shattering footsteps in the dense forest disappeared. Everyone knew that the ape-ghost king's Star Power had dissipated!
Whether it was frolicking or rampaging, there was always a time for it to end.
Li Weiyi advanced all the way, the team was on full alert, following behind him, passing through the fallen trees and scattered broken corpses, searching for the ape-ghost king.
“Although its Star Power has dissipated, it's still full of energy and vitality.” Jiang Xiao happily scavenged, grabbing the Star Bead from an ape-ghost corpse, and said, “It's still the king who can fly and escape, its physical fitness is very strong, Xia Yan.”
Xia Yan stabbed her dagger into the ape-ghost's back, tearing it fiercely, “Huh?”
Jiang Xiao: “It's time to test how sharp your knife is.”
Xia Yan raised her blood-stained face, confident and proud, “As long as you poison it, I'm fine.”
Jiang Xiao's face darkened, “Poison, what poison? It's clearly healing.”
Xia Yan smiled and said, “Alright, little poison healer.”
Saying that, Xia Yan threw the blood-stained Star Bead and medal to Han Jiangxue, saying, “Remember to give me a push.”
Han Jiangxue took the spoils and said, “I can try to blow it into my Shattered Space.”
“Don't, this ape-ghost is too big. What if it gets blown over and doesn't go into Shattered Space?” Xia Yan was anxious. She had been looking forward to slaughtering the ape-ghost king up close, but Han Jiangxue wanted to solve the problem with Shattered Space?
Xia Yan pleaded, “I just need one stab, let me do it, Xuexue, let me do it…”
Han Jiangxue: “…”
“Let's go, let's go, chase after it, these beasts recover Star Power very quickly.” Xia Yan said, putting away her dagger and standing up, returning to the team and pushing Li Weiyi's back, “There shouldn't be any other-dimensional creatures on the way, they've all been scared away by it.”
Li Weiyi turned to look at Han Jiangxue.
Han Jiangxue nodded and said, “Sprint.”
Li Weiyi took a deep breath and rushed forward quickly.
Unexpectedly, he stopped after running only two hundred meters, because he saw several savage corpses torn apart by the ape-ghost king.
The pursuit team instantly turned into a scavenging team again…
In the monitoring room, the soldiers watched the first-person perspective of Team 76, and they really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The ape-ghost's violent characteristics were indeed being fully utilized by this team.
The healing-type Awakened in this team was also very cunning, uh… very innovative…
What made the soldiers most gratified was that although this team was bold and reckless, they still had some brains. They had been hanging far behind the ape-ghost king, and so far, they had not encountered any danger.
At the same time, there was another team that was also very clever. Unlike Team 76, which used the characteristics of other-dimensional creatures, this team was making reasonable use of the competition rules.
The distant Task Point Number 2, also a supply point, was located on the edge of the forest, with a total of 4 medium-sized wooden houses and 1 tree house.
A team of guardians was stationed here, about twenty or so Huaxia soldiers, distributed in various wooden houses.
Team 24, which was Gao Junwei's team, was currently in the wooden house distributing purple medals, resting and recuperating.
Yu Zhen sat in a chair, elegantly crossing her legs, playing with two purple medals in her hand, looking at the green forest outside the window, wondering what she was thinking.
Obviously, these two purple medals were the so-called task items. They had already completed the main task. As long as they returned to the entrance, they would have completed the competition.
However, this team did not choose to leave, but chose to stay in the house.
Zhang Weiliang borrowed hot water from the soldiers, opened a few packs of military rations, and very consciously served his teammates.
This task point did not have a monitoring room. The soldiers here only wore communication equipment, distributed task items here, and waited for instructions from their superiors, as well as possible rescue signals.
The soldiers didn't know this team's strategy, they just thought they were here to replenish their strength, and didn't say anything.
Zhang Weiliang heated two bags of pickled mustard fried rice with diced meat and two bags of pickled mustard noodles with shredded meat, and opened two cans of food.
Yu Zhen waved her hand, refusing the meal.
“Eat some canned pineapple in syrup, you can't starve for five days, can you?” Zhang Mingming said with a smile.
Gao Junwei on the side said, “Did we come too early…”
Before he could finish his words, a four-person team broke into the door.
Gao Junwei's eyes lit up, he turned his head and sized up the incoming team.
Zhang Weiliang, who was gorging himself on braised pork, froze.
Only Zhang Mingming and Yu Zhen in the team remained calm, quietly sizing up the newcomers.
Similarly, the incoming four-person team also saw this opponent team who were eating, and their hearts tightened.
Undoubtedly, this team from Jiangbin No. 3 High School had a great reputation, and was a veritable seeded team.
However, when they saw eight soldiers in the house, they felt a lot more relieved.
A young man stepped forward and said to the soldiers in a friendly manner, “Hello, we are here to collect task items.”
The soldier nodded and said, “Team number.”
“71.”
The soldier recorded something on the roster, then flicked his wrist, and a purple medal flew over.
Yu Zhen turned to look at Zhang Mingming, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
Zhang Mingming nodded almost imperceptibly.
Yu Zhen's lips curled up slightly, watching the four-person team leave quickly, and slowly stood up.
Thump!
Gao Junwei kicked Zhang Weiliang's chair leg and scolded, “Still eating!”
Zhang Weiliang silently put down the can and followed the three out.
“You guys!” Just as they were about to walk out the door, a stern voice came from behind, “Clean up your trash!”
Zhang Mingming hurriedly turned around and said with a smile, “Mr. Soldier, we haven't finished eating yet, please wait a moment, we'll be right back.”
The soldier was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a response.
A dozen minutes later, a command suddenly came from the communication device on the soldiers' waists: “Task Point Number 2, Second Squad is going on a mission, due south, 500~600 meters, recall contestant members 1 and 3 of Team 71, bring them back to the wooden house for treatment, and send them out of the armory after their injuries stabilize.”
In the wooden house, four soldiers quickly stood up and rushed out of the wooden house.
Unexpectedly, these four soldiers encountered a full-strength team in the process of advancing.
This team was the one that had just said “We'll be right back after we finish eating”, Team 24.
The soldiers frowned secretly. They were experienced and obviously saw that this team had just experienced a battle.
The shield-bearing youth at the head, with several bright yellow weapons clamped under his right arm, walked forward in silence.
What was dazzling was that,
In the team, there was a handsome boy,
He was wearing two blood-stained headbands on his fingers, and he was walking and spinning the headbands, looking high-spirited.
Those were obviously the camera equipment of other teams. One headband was worth 100 points, and losing one was enough to destroy a team.
Not to mention that the headband was stained with blood, combined with the “recall” order received by the soldiers, there was no doubt that a team had been destroyed.
Gao Junwei's team brushed past the soldiers and returned to the wooden house.
The four members of the team had different mentalities, only Zhang Mingming continued to eat, and even persuaded, “Why don't you eat something too…”
Yu Zhen seemed to have gotten a little appetite, looking at the blood-stained headband on Gao Junwei's arm, the corners of her lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and she took the canned pineapple handed over by a teammate.
