Chapter 11: You're fucking lucky ????

Chapter 11

The sun was blazing, scorching the earth.

In the roiling yellow sand, the two men trudged forward, one above the other, the footprints behind them quickly smoothed out by the wind and sand like smooth golden silk.

Shi An struggled to keep up with Lin Yanming.

--He'd never missed his wings so much.

Shi An hung her head and wilted, "How much longer?"

Lin Yanming replied as he looked down at the map displayed on his wristwatch:

"Soon, we'll be out of this hellhole in no time."

Shi An: "......"

He said viciously, "That's what you said twenty minutes ago!"

- -Why do you all like to do this!!!!

The magic bug up his sleeve sneezed.

"This time it is true, at most ten more minutes in this direction we will ......" Lin Yanming said, turning his head to look at Shi An, and after a pause, an incredulous look appeared on his face:

"Don't you even sweat?"

After traveling for so long in the desert, Lin Yanming's body was already in a sorry state.

Dampened hair clung to his cheeks, mingling with the dust smeared and blotted, but the teenager behind him, though wan, looked as if he were a marble statue thrown into the dust, still refreshing in spite of the dust.

Shi An replied breathlessly, "Because I'm cold-blooded."

Demon bugs that are eavesdropping: "......"

Can't believe it little old me, he really wasn't kidding!

Shi An asked, "Where is it after we go out from here?"

Lin Yanming: "Rainforest area."

He wiped off the sweat mixed with sand on his forehead and sighed, "Ugh, these four hours spent in the desert area are just not worth it, my points are only in single digits until now ......"

Just in the middle of his sentence, Lin Yanming suddenly realized what was going on and abruptly stopped talking.

He looked at Shi An with some embarrassment : "...... Sorry, I didn't mean to say that."

Isn't saying such things in front of someone who has zero points up to now just stabbing them in the heart?

"I really didn't expect ...... that we actually had such bad luck that we didn't encounter a single demonic creature since we rendezvoused with you," Lin Yanming patted Shi An's shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'll definitely help you break this zero score when we wait until we Rainforest Area, I will definitely help you break this zero score!"

The number of demons in the desert area was small, something Lin Yanming already knew.

However, after teaming up with Shi An for such a long period of time, not a single demonic creature had been encountered, which was simply outrageous!

Within a radius of 100 meters, not even a small magic lizard with 0.01 points has appeared ......

Does that make sense!

It doesn't make sense!

Shi An: "......"

This ...... he probably knows why.

Earlier, in order to speed up the efficiency of his journey, he had been releasing his magical field if nothing else along the way to keep other magical creatures away.

Looking at the friendly human in front of him who shared his snacks and lent him his game console, Shi An couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so he decided to make it up to the other in whatever way he could.

Shi An communicates with the magical insect with her consciousness, "You're sure that every freshman over at the command room won't be observing, right?"

Magic Worm: "Yeah."

It was suddenly alert: "Why, you, what do you want? You mustn't be too high-strung!"

Shi An : "Don't worry, I've got the numbers!"

Magic Worm: "......"

Why am I more uneasy about it instead!!!!

Shi An asked, tugging on Lin Yanming's sleeve and pointing in the other direction:

"Can we leave the desert area in that direction too?"

Lin Yanming froze, he lowered his head to observe the map on his wristwatch and said, "That's fine, but this is where the distance is the closest ......"

"But that side of the dunes is the most gentle eh."

Shi An's gaze was bright and focused, "And I have a good feeling about that direction, trust me, I'm lucky!"

After a few seconds of staring at him, Lin Yanming was defeated:

"...... Okay."

It's just a little bit of a detour!

I've wasted so much time before, a few more minutes now is nothing.

A few minutes later.

Lin Yanming looked sluggishly at a huge lion-headed sac beast in front of him as it burrowed out from within the half-sanded crypt, opening its bloody mouth and letting out a deafening roar that made heaven and earth and the air seem to vibrate along with it, making hairs on the back of one's neck stand on end.

I grass.

You call that fucking luck ????

The culprit himself on the sidelines was very proud of this.

Now with the points from this one, it should make up for the gap in points that didn't arrive along the way!

Lin Yanming recovered from his shock and turned to run, dragging Shi An with him.

Shi An stumbled as he was pulled.

He looked blankly at the human in front of him who was dragging him frantically for his life, and then twisted his head to look behind him at the lion-headed saccharine beast that was striding after him, a confused look on his face.

What's going on?

"You don t fight it ...... Is this demon not high enough points?" Shi An hesitantly guessed.

Lin Yanming turned his head incredulously, "Are you crazy?"

Shi An: "?"

"Look at the markings on that demonic creature's neck!" Lin Yanming took the time to shout as he ran away, "The markings of a bred demonic creature are blue, the markings of a normal demonic creature are yellow, and this one is red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Facing the wind and sand, Lin Yanming's roar was intermittent:

"That's just the BOSS level demons in the whole area !!!!"

Shi An : "...... eh?"

Behind the duo, the lion-headed sac beast's front body slightly pressed downward, the developed muscles of its upper limbs tightened, the ferocious light of the hunt flashed within the beast's pupils, the sand and soil stirred, and the terrifying sense of threat pressed the people to gasp for air.

In the next second, a wave of magic power floated around it.

It's a precursor to its attack.

Inside the command room.

A corner of the huge screen suddenly lit up with a red light.

This meant that the BOSS-level demons in a certain area were being challenged by newborns!

The examiners who were paying attention to the battle between the forest area and the glacier area were stunned.

What? Starting a boss battle when the tournament has just started for five hours? That's not particularly wise behavior!

"It's the desert area."

A calm and cold voice rang out from behind the crowd.

They were stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Only Mu Hang leaned forward slightly, a pair of silver-blue eyes looking intently at the screen, his long-sleeved pale fingertips tapping the desktop, "The camera's tuned over."

The desert.

Suddenly, without warning, several silver-colored arrows came out from the area where the lion-headed sac beast was about to pounce, emitting sharp air-breaking noises, and fiercely attacked the lion-headed sac beast, just in time to interrupt the casting of its magic power.

The lion-headed sachem nimbly jumped back to avoid the arrows that were shot at him.

A pair of the beast's pupils tightened in anger, looking past the two weak humans who had just invaded their territory and towards a short distance in front of them.

One of the freshmen removed his disguise and roared at the duo of Lin Yanming and Shi An:

"Hey! Are you guys sick?"

Not only did the rampage destroy the encirclement, but it even caused this lion-headed sachem to enter combat early!

And the most outrageous thing was that they were actually running in a panic towards the direction they had ambushed, completely disrupting their long-prepared battle plan!

Lin Yanming's eyes were lit up with hope as he hurriedly shouted, "I'm sorry! It was just an accident that we entered this area! Please, you guys--"

The sudden increase in numbers caused the demons to stir, and the lion-headed sachem roared into the sky, the porcupine-like spikes on its massive body standing up, ready to strike - they would launch the long, highly poisonous spikes from their bodies in an attack, like a rain of swords in the sky, making it almost impossible to avoid.

Not good!

"Quickly find cover!!!" A man raised his voice and shouted!

Lin Yanming stood still, his face pale.

Oops.

He and Shi An were the closest to the lion-headed sachem, and even if they had found cover, they would not have been able to withstand the penetrating power of its poisonous spikes.

It's over, it's over, it's over--

This time it might actually be planted.

The sun was blazing and the sand was hot.

Shi An stands all alone in the dusty sky.

He craned his head to cast a glance toward the lion-headed sachem behind him.

The depths of the pitch-black eyes flared with a scorched, flame-like crimson, as if swept by scarlet blood, and the round pupils tightened into thin slits, like the icy vertical pupils of a snake.

Ancient spirits awaken in human shells, and the continent's forgotten apex predator opens his eyes in the darkness.

Shi An narrowed her eyes and silently made her exit pattern:

"Roll."

Inside the command room.

After a brief camera dispatch, a clear picture is finally revealed.

Amidst a cloud of dust and sand and yellow soil, only a few freshmen could be seen standing sporadically in an empty field.

No demons, no bosses.

Aside from a few arrows sticking out of the ground, there was absolutely no trace of a battle.

The examiners looked at each other.

What's going on?

Could it be equipment failure?

"The area boss in the desert, can you see its localization?"

Mu Hang twisted his head to look at the examiner on the side and asked lightly.

"Dang, sure."

That examiner, as if in a dream, lowered his head and operated it, only to see a tiny yellow dot light up on the huge curved screen in front of him - not only was it not only a short distance away from where the signal had come from a moment ago, but it seemed to be continuing to move away from it.

"I think it's a signal malfunction?"

"Send a crew to overhaul it."

"What about the Glacier District? How's the battle going over there?"

The command room quickly returned to the atmosphere of a moment ago.

Mu Hang frowned slightly, gazing at the place where the signal had just come from - there were several red dots gathered there now, and a number of new students should be meeting there.

And Shi An's name was still at the bottom of the long list of freshmen.

Points are still stuck at 0.

*

Inside the Desert.

Everyone was dumbfounded and stood still, hardly able to believe their eyes.

That murderous lion-headed sac beast suddenly froze for a second just now for some reason.

Immediately after that, the inflated air sac on its body quickly flattened down as if a balloon had been punctured, and a grunt sounded from its throat after it had been hit by a painful blow, and then, with its tail between its legs, it turned around and fled away from the road, seemingly it couldn't wait to take off in the same place.

Moreover, that lion-headed sac beast seemed to have a rare spatial talent.

After a brief fluctuation of magic power, its huge figure had disappeared behind a cloud of flying dust and sand, as if it had never appeared.

"......"

The only thing left in the empty wasteland was a group of dumbfounded humans, staring at each other, dumbfounded.

This?

What's going on here?

What the hell just ...... happened?

Lin Yanming stood frozen in place, his eyes blankly open, as if he hadn't recovered from the overly drastic situation that had just changed.

Suddenly, he felt a tug on his sleeve.

Lin Yanming subconsciously looked to his side.

Only the teenager tilted his face back, the light redness from the sun still lingering on his cheeks and cheekbones, a pair of eyes squinting slightly in the hot sunlight, his dark eyes looking through the gap between his long eyelashes, not looking half as aggressive as they should have been.

He came closer and said quietly:

"See, I told you I was lucky."

Lin Yanming: "......"

It was at this moment that several other freshmen gathered around in unison with an unkind face:

"Look what you've done!"

The leader pointed to the direction where the lion-headed sac beast had just disappeared, and said, "We've been in ambush here for a long time, and everything was already ready, but you guys ran over and stirred up the situation!"

Shi An looked around at all the new students in front of him critically and said with some confusion:

"But even if we don't come, you guys can't beat it."

Lin Yanming: "............"

He looked at the group of people with fierce eyes in front of him, and in despair, he wanted to faint with both eyes closed - Big brother, you're so good at talking!

The face of the group in front of him suddenly became a bit untenable.

A fierce light flickered under the eyes of the man in the lead, "Those points should have been ours! Since you have disrupted our plans, you will have to make up for it!"

He winked behind him, and several other men immediately gathered around and grabbed the wristwatches from Lin Yanming and Shi An's hands without a second thought.

Surprisingly, the person in front of them revealed an odd expression and actually didn't move at all to let them do their work.

The shorter one actually offered his hand.

"......" The freshman looked down at the two wristwatches being collected.

He rubbed his eyes a little incredulously, then fell into a long silence.

One is 5.5.

One is 0.
