The next day, Cheng Xi slowly increased the number of mutant beasts after assessing everyone's strength, striving to fully unleash everyone's maximum potential.
The effect of 1 plus 1 is sometimes much greater than 2.
The reorganization of the two teams once again proved the correctness of this statement with facts.
After three days of running in, Mu Jin and others quickly adapted to this high-intensity state.
"Did I break through?"
"I broke through!"
"Ahhhh, I really have a breakthrough!"
After three people broke through the small steps in succession, everyone cheered, and the emotions surrounding the team were filled with joy.
Mu Jin felt some loose power in her body, and looked at Cheng Xi with gratitude.
"Thank you Captain Cheng."
"You're welcome. It's the result of their own efforts."
Cheng Xi has fully accepted the title of captain, "I don't accept this credit. They are the ones who hunt the mutant beasts. If they don't work hard enough, they won't be promoted."
And she just provided an opportunity.
Or is it to advance this opportunity?
Mu Jin chuckled, no longer worrying about whose contribution it was, but he was even more ferocious when hunting mutant beasts.
The points of these people increased rapidly at a fairly regular rate. During the day, there was a wave of crazy increases almost every hour, and the rankings also skyrocketed from the initial drop.
Tang Tang and Gu Chaoxi responded calmly.
However, Song Hui didn't have such good self-cultivation, and would say he was enjoying himself every time he took a break.
"Now I understand why you guys have been at the top of the standings."
With such an incredible beast-baiting fan, as long as your physical strength is still good, your points can keep rising. This trick is simply too high!
"Don't think about good things. The reason why it rose so fast is because we encountered low-level mutant beasts. If a fifth-level mutant beast appears one day, everyone will die, okay?"
Gu Chaoxi ruthlessly broke his beautiful fantasy, "And don't you think the number of mutant beasts that come every time is very regular? If you really spill out a handful without restraint, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die."
"..."
Song Hui shuddered suddenly and looked at Cheng Xi with even more awe.
God!
"By the way, are you sure Captain Cheng is a student of the Department of Supernatural Powers? Why don't you apply for the Department of Pharmacy with such a good talent in pharmacy?"
"Our captain's cooking skills are quite good. According to what you said, why should he go to a military academy? He can go home and make money."
"..." I am speechless?
Song Hui secretly wondered, "So what is it that Team Cheng is not good at?"
"Good question, I want to know too."
Gu Chaoxi paused, recalling the harmonious scene of accidentally seeing Shen Xingluo repairing the mecha in the tent with Cheng Xi helping him, and suddenly became a little uncertain.
If you can see what tools are needed at a glance and hand them over as soon as possible, you will understand the basic structure even if you are not proficient in them, right?
These lovers are not human beings!
The two looked at each other, and at this moment their brain circuits magically overlapped, and they both sighed.
"It's so irritating to compare people to each other~"
"Who says it isn't?"
After a break, the 12 people set off again, and then harvested another wave of mutated beast heads, and so on.
When the mutant beasts they encountered were generally at the fourth-level intermediate level, the countdown to the actual combat assessment for freshmen entered.
Song Hui put his share of mutated beasts into the space with a wave of his hand, feeling a little disappointed.
"Star God, it's over in three days, and I'm actually a little reluctant to give up?"
"I, too, have gone crazy killing mutant beasts these past few days."
"Ah, why is the assessment period only 15 days? I can accept another half month!"
"If I go out, will I no longer be able to enjoy Captain Cheng's craftsmanship?"
When Gu Chaoxi heard this, his face couldn't be any more disgusting, and he slapped him in the face, "Ming Ming
It's obvious that I'm cooking, so there's no credit but hard work, right? Are those two eyes of yours just for show? ! "
"But you also learn and sell now. What's the difference between you and Captain Cheng's craftsmanship?"
"Oh, do you dare to say this again in front of Shen Xingluo?"
"..."
Song Hui was silent for a moment.
I don't dare, I really don't dare. Although Classmate Shen didn't take action much along the way, his image in the hearts of everyone is simply more majestic than Captain Mu.
He's so funny that he won't offend anyone, and he's not impatient anymore.
"Hehe, if you have the ability, if you keep being tough, I can do a good deed and send you a message."
"I was wrong, Brother Gu. Your cooking skills are unparalleled in the world. Anyone who sees you can't help but praise your skills. Your current cooking skills are better than the ones you've had before. Wuwuwu!"
"..." I was wrong, brother, please spare my life!
Gu Chaoxi quickly covered his mouth and couldn't help but glance at Shen Xingluo who was resting next to him. He was relieved when he saw that there was no special reaction from the other party.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and almost died.
The next second, the two of them met Cheng Xi, who was smiling. At this time, she was holding the ordinary little bag and shaking it.
"Everyone has gotten used to it these days. Do you want to make it more difficult?"
"!!!"
***
A circle of animal attracting powder was sprinkled down, and everyone stood ready.
This time, even Mu Jin tensed up all the cells in his body and assumed an offensive posture, preparing for another round of battle.
Yes, fight.
This time it was no longer a unilateral massacre, but a truly evenly matched fight.
From time to time, the calls of passing birds could be heard in the silent forest, adding a bit of vitality to this place. However, everyone still did not relax their vigilance. As the heavy and chaotic footsteps sounded, their hearts jumped into their throats.
"Oh my god, just hearing the footsteps sounds like there are a lot of them."
"And there are no third-level mutant beasts here, they are all fourth-level, or even higher!"
"Are you really not going to take off your clothes this time?"
"No, there are Captain Mu and Captain Cheng. Relax, maybe we can break through after this time."
Several people comforted themselves to cheer up their companions. The next second, when they saw the mutant beasts charging towards them, everyone's eyes widened in horror.
"Holy shit, shit, shit, why is it a mutated cheetah?"
"Oh my god, it's really a mutated cheetah, what should I do?"
"I feel a pressure...are these leopards reaching the fourth level?"
"!!!"
Brother, don’t talk nonsense. If you scare someone, you will scare them to death!
Looking around, more than twenty mutated cheetahs came at an incredible speed. Gu Chaoxi, who was standing in front, was thrown to the ground before he could even locate their position.
"Captain Cheng, Boss Shen, I can't stand it anymore, help me!"
Shen Xingluo instantly moved to his side, and the metal blade in his palm accurately shot the mutated cheetah through.
"Don't panic, just concentrate on feeling it with your heart. Closing your eyes may give you better results."
The calm and plain voice reached Gu Chaoxi's ears through the thick mecha. The original panic seemed to be driven away by Shen Xingluo's words, and he also became much calmer. He closed his eyes for the first time and listened quietly.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The sounds of mechas clashing, the roars of mutant beasts, and Tang Tang shouting from time to time were heard constantly in his ears. Gu Chaoxi concentrated on distinguishing the different sounds, and his heart gradually calmed down.
"Huh?"
Why do different little dots appear in my head?
Green, yellow, red... The green one stayed in place, red and yellow intertwined from time to time, and then the red gradually went out.
etc? Go out!
Gu Chaoxi opened his eyes suddenly, "
I can feel it! "
Green represents nearby mutant plants, yellow represents humans, and the ones that occasionally go out are mutant beasts!
Cheng Xi kicked away a mutated beast in front of him and listened to his words, "Then lock them and attack with mental power!"
"Okay, look at me!"
Gu Chaoxi concentrated on dealing with the red dots, still closing his eyes. The entire mecha stood in place without moving at all. However, several mutant beasts surrounding him fell down one by one for no reason, as if they had suffered unknown heavy injuries.
Song Hui, who originally wanted to attack with a weapon, was stunned when he saw that the cheetah that had just bared its teeth and claws at him was completely dead.
"What the hell?"
What's going on? Why did it fall down before I took action?
Is this still the strength of a fourth-level intermediary? Let’s play!
Shen Xingluo looked at everyone and said in a loud voice, "If you are physically weak, use your mental power to attack!"
After hearing this, everyone recovered from their daze, and tentatively imitated Gu Chaoxi's attack with mental power. Although everyone was not as defiant as S-level, they could still deal with the mutant beast closest to them.
So with the sound of "puff, plop, plop", the last few mutated cheetahs also said goodbye to the Star God.
"My mother, did you succeed?"
"To be honest, this is the first time I use my mental power like this. It feels so good!"
"It feels so good, okay...well, my head just hurts a little."
"You must have worked too hard. Just rest for a while."
Mu Jin understood very well how the team members felt at this time. As members of the mecha operating department, their daily training focused on superpowers and mecha operations. Mental strength was not that important. This was the first time they were able to lock on a single target. Great progress.
It seems that his cousin with S-level mental power can also kill everyone?
I'm afraid my uncle would be extremely happy if he found out.
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up. Gu Chaoxi remained motionless except for the initial attack. After taking off his mecha, he looked fresh and clean.
Of course, it just looks like it.
"Ouch, I'm dizzy——"
"You are mentally exhausted, great hero."
Tang Tang handed him the water, and he sat casually on a rock and drank. The superpowers in his body were quickly replenished.
Nearly thirty mutated cheetahs were captured, including five high-level fourth-level ones and eleven fourth-level intermediaries. This battle can be said to have boosted morale.
"Does this mean we can fight one against two?"
Some people can even fight one against three, and they are still at the same level!
Song Hui opened his mouth and was so happy that he couldn't find the north. This feeling was simply not that good.
"Captain Cheng, when will we increase the quantity?"
Cheng Xi: "..."
Boy, do you know that you are swollen?
Mu Jin, a former captain and current squad leader, turned pale when he heard this, "You want to run when you just learned to walk? It depends on what you can do. Don't be too ambitious in everything."
"Oh, I got it."
Song Hui humbly admitted his mistake, but the two rows of teeth exposed in the sun were still dazzlingly white.
Mu Jin: "..."
Why didn't you realize this guy was stupid before?
Since this battle was too dangerous, everyone's superpowers were almost exhausted, so they only fully recovered after resting for nearly two hours.
When everyone's eyes focused on the bag on Cheng Xi's waist again, a battle was about to begin.
One versus two, one versus three...
The cooperation between the team members became more and more tacit. In addition, the eight members of Mu Jin always carried weapons with powerful lethality. The one vs. four mission was quickly completed by the end of the day.
Mu Jin's points ranked third in the rankings, directly ousting Tang Tang.
The person involved said he was a little embarrassed...
"Ahem, I've been using mechas, so it's normal for my points to rise quickly."
"I
I know. "
Tang Tang's expression didn't change, "You are still no match for me in a single fight."
"..." Although, your words hurt your self-esteem, do you know?
Mu Jin originally came to talk to her to comfort her friends, but she never expected that she would be the one unable to step down in the end.
"But your mecha operation is indeed better than mine."
Tang Tang affirmed and comforted him with good intentions, "Don't be nervous that I will surpass you one day. After all, it's useless to be nervous. It will definitely happen."
"..."
Mu Jin took a deep breath, turned around and left without saying anything.
***
On the 14th day of the actual combat assessment, the late autumn sun rose from the east, waking up the sleepy students in the tent.
After breakfast, the group walked forward again.
Cheng Xi was about to repeat his old trick when bursts of mutated beast roars came from ahead, the deafening force making everyone tremble.
"What's wrong, what happened in front?"
The students stood still, their right hands cautiously touching the mecha, ready to take action at any time.
"Gu Chaoxi, use your mental power to check."
"no problem."
The S-class mental power itself has great advantages in terrain exploration, not to mention that Gu Chaoxi has been working hard to train his perception of mutated animals and plants recently.
He closed his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters...
As the distance continues, more and more red, yellow and green colors appear in my mind.
"Holy shit, shit, shit, why are there so many teams?!"
"what happened?"
"There are no less than fifty people in front, moving around a big green dot... No, they are attacking!"
Gu Chaoxi translated the spectacular scene in his mind into words, and upon hearing this, the team members sketched out a scene of multiple people besieging mutated plants.
"The green one is a mutated plant? But what we heard just now was an animal roar?"
"I'm pretty sure it's indeed a mutated plant."
As for the roar that sounded like an animal, Gu Chaoxi didn't know what was going on.
"how far?"
"200 meters."
Cheng Xi said, "Would you like to join in the fun? It feels like they are doing something big."
This proposal was quickly approved by unanimous votes. They were all people who just wanted to see the excitement and did not take it too seriously. How could such an obviously big event be without them?
They are all scene people.
The group of people moved slowly towards the south, and the sounds reaching their ears became clearer and clearer.
When the distance to the target was less than 50 meters, everyone realized that there were not only the roars of mutated animals, but also human voices, mecha battle sounds, and weapon sounds.
"A big scene?"
Song Hui took the lead, "I saw it, there is an acquaintance there!"
There are indeed acquaintances.
Cheng Xi, who was a step behind, saw several familiar faces through the gaps between the branches, including Qi Li, Chen Mo, and several other classmates from Class 1.
Tang Tang has been eager to watch the fun, how can he hold back now? Directly control the fire power to fly into the air and move quickly in the direction of the crowd from above.
"Hey wait for me!"
Not to be outdone, Gu Chaoxi wrapped the quantum mecha around his body and pressed the button to fly into the air, following closely behind.
"It's amazing to be able to fly. Isn't it amazing to have a quantum mecha?"
Song Hui rubbed his nose angrily, and saw that there was not much distance left, so he shouldn't bother with the mecha anymore, so he could only run.
Facts have proved that Gu Chaoxi's perception was not wrong. The protagonist who was surrounded by everyone was indeed a mutated plant.
And that continuous roar came from its "mouth". Rather than a roar, it was more like the thick sound made by the air flow generated by the swing of the wooden vines.
"What a strong pressure. How many levels does this mutated plant have?"
Already? "
"Fifth level?"
"No, definitely more than fifth level."
Tang Tang stared closely at the mutated plant, "At least it's not a fifth-level intermediate. It's much more powerful than me."
Gu Chaoxi took a breath of air, "Why is this tree so big? I'm afraid it's going to become a spirit!"
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi were the last to arrive. It was really difficult to find a gap among the tall superpowers, so they were the last to see the mutant plant in full.
"The Whomping Willow?"
"What Liu, Captain Cheng, do you know this thing?"
"Um, I don't know him."
Cheng Xi glanced at the big tree waving a thick note casually, and the feeling of déjà vu was similar to that of watching a movie.
Although this is not the magical world of Harry Potter, the supernatural powers and mental powers are not bad at all.
Surrounded by nearly a hundred people in a semicircle, large branches with lush leaves, thick and powerful trunks, and well-developed root systems can be seen everywhere. All the vines seemed to be conscious. Every time they waved, an unlucky guy was knocked down, and even a mecha was caught by it. Up to heaven.
"This tree must be a thousand years old at least."
"Yes, it will probably take several people to hold that tree trunk."
"So why besiege it?"
For students of the supernatural department and mecha operation department, hunting mutant beasts is the top priority. There is no need to struggle with a mutant plant that has lived for thousands of years.
It is still unknown whether you will get points by killing this thing. .net
"Those who can get points are old and young."
A familiar voice sounded beside Cheng Xi. When she looked sideways, she realized that Qi Li and others who were standing opposite had arrived at some point, and Chen Mo nodded to her in greeting.
"Why are you here?"
Tang Tang was very happy. After saying hello to his friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he brought the topic back, "How many points does this tree have? It's worth the effort of so many people."
"It's not worth a penny to you."
"What do you mean?"
Qi Li snorted with a rather bad expression, "Well, where is the person who really wants the life of this mutated tree!"
Several people followed his line of sight, and another familiar figure came into view.
"Tang Rou?!"
Why is she here?
