Chapter 354 Xuanwu Continent (6)
As soon as Wangyou finished doing all this, she felt a pulling force. When she looked up, a mirror suddenly appeared above her, and a vortex appeared in the middle of the mirror. All the students were involuntarily sucked into it.
"The second round, the team competition, begins. The time limit is one month. After one month, teams with all members will advance to the third round. If any team member is injured or killed, they will participate in the revival competition to have a chance to participate in the third round." The referee's cold voice fell.
"These rules are too outrageous, and the restrictions are too great," Wangyou remarked.
“We can’t mobilize spiritual energy here,” Yu Bingqing said, frowning.
"Really, there isn't any." Xiao Ce tried and found that he couldn't mobilize any spiritual energy in his body.
"It seems this test mainly focuses on physical strength," Yan Tian said with a smile, feeling the surging power within his body.
"I don't know if it's just us who can't mobilize spiritual energy, or if everyone is like this." Xuanhe's expression was still relatively normal.
"Luckily, I'm smart." Wangyou touched the jade bottle hanging around her neck, a large bag of food, and the brick in her hand.
"How do you know there's no spiritual energy here?" Xiao Ce asked curiously.
"I do not know!"
"Then you've prepared so thoroughly."
"I just had a bad feeling for a moment, and since I usually like to read storybooks, I made some extra preparations."
"Cattle."
"It's getting late, we need to find a place to camp," Yu Bingqing said, glancing around.
"It might be too late, some animals are coming," Wangyou said helplessly.
"Hide behind us." Yu Bingqing pulled Wangyou behind her, and then she, Xiao Ce, Xuanhe, and Yantian looked around warily.
Before they could wait long, several red eyes suddenly appeared all around them.
“It’s a Howling Moon Silver Wolf, a level two demonic beast. Its weakness is its eyes. Its skin, flesh, tendons, and bones can be used in medicine, and its claws can be used for weapon forging,” Wangyou said, glancing around.
"So many, looks like we'll have a tough time. Wangyou, stay away. There are too many of them, we might not be able to protect you," Xiao Ce said, unusually serious.
"I may be young, but I'm not weak in cultivation." Wangyou said helplessly. They were all part of the team, and she didn't want to hold them back.
Suddenly, a low growl sounded, and the Howling Moon Silver Wolf, as if receiving some command, charged towards the five people like an arrow released from a bow.
Unable to mobilize their spiritual energy, the group was fortunate to have weapons at all times, and they quickly engaged the Howling Moon Silver Wolf in battle.
Wangyou, holding a golden brick, was also eager to try. Perhaps because Wangyou was small, the Howling Moon Silver Wolf knew to pick on the weak, and quite a few wolves rushed towards Wangyou, while Xiao Ce and the others were too busy to help themselves.
Wangyou had been taking medicinal baths since childhood and later engaged in physical training. She didn't know the extent of her physical strength, so when she hit someone with a brick, she didn't hold back at all.
As a result, too much force was used, and the head of one of the silver wolves was smashed to pieces.
"My apologies, I didn't expect you to be so weak!" Wangyou hadn't expected to use too much force. After continuously killing eight silver wolves, Wangyou finally found a balance point, enough to kill the silver wolves without causing the red and white blood to flow out.
As soon as Wangyou exerted her strength, the pressure on the other four people was greatly reduced. When they were free to look, they saw Wangyou hitting a silver wolf with a brick and having a great time.
Then look at the blood splattered on them after killing the silver wolf; the contrast is truly stark.
"Stop looking! Hurry up and kill the wolf! Don't be so weak you can't even beat a child!" Xuanhe said fiercely after slashing the silver wolf.
After the five people's unremitting efforts, and with Wangyou accidentally killing the wolf king with two bricks, the remaining silver wolves were either dead, crippled, or ran away.
"Phew, I'm exhausted." Xiao Ce plopped down on the ground.
"Oh, what a pity, the meat of this thing isn't very tasty, otherwise we wouldn't have lacked food for a month," Wangyou said with some regret.
"What did you eat to grow up like this? You're so strong! And that brick of yours, is it some kind of magical artifact?!"
"I don't know. I picked it up when I went out for training. I felt it would be convenient to use to hit people, so I kept it."
"You're really lucky. Did you train your physique from a young age?"
"Yes, aren't you guys?"
“We’ve also been training our bodies since we were young, but I feel like our training is quite different from yours.” Yan Tian has always been proud of his physique, but today he was truly taken aback.
"I don't know. I didn't have any elders to guide me. I figured everything out on my own. I really don't know the difference." Wangyou spread her hands. "Let's go after we've rested enough. I guess some more monsters will follow the scent later."
“Yes, it’s time to go.” Xiao Ce got up. “Should we take this body with us?”
"Let's take five corpses with us. We'll each take one and deal with them properly. They might come in handy on the way ahead," Wangyou said, looking at the wolf carcasses scattered on the ground. They could be sold for money outside, but here they couldn't even open their storage bags, so they had to reluctantly give up.
The group thought it made sense, so they each picked a wolf that was in good condition and took it away. Not long after they left, a pack of hyenas devoured the wolf carcass.
"There's a waterfall ahead, let's go rest there," Xiao Ce said happily.
"There are fish in this river! Great, we don't have to worry about dinner now." The moment Wangyou saw the fish, she thought of food. Then, she looked at the other four people and asked, "Who among you can cook?"
The four looked at each other, all of them privileged individuals, who had no right to be the ones cooking.
"Does my ability to grill meat count?" After a long pause, Xiao Ce raised his hand.
"Is what you baked edible?" Wangyou asked cautiously, thinking of her terrible cooking skills.
"It's barely edible," Xiao Ce said uncertainly.
"That's alright, I'll tell you how to make it, and you can bake it." Wangyou breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't poisonous that she cooked for him.
"You can cook?"
"I'd like to know how, but while I'm fine with the cooking process, the final taste will be problematic. In severe cases, it could even kill someone, so it's best not to make me do it." As Wangyou spoke, her face scrunched up. As a foodie, not being able to cook for herself didn't feel good.
"Then let's quickly dispose of this body, and then I'll go catch some fish." Yu Bingqing, sensing this sore spot for Wangyou, naturally changed the subject.
With limited tools, Xiao Ce took a sword and Xuan He took a knife to start disposing of the corpses. The other three had no sharp weapons, so they could only go into the river to catch fish.
Then, before Wangyou caught the fish, she glanced at the two of them and was completely helpless. "You two go catch the fish. Leave the weapons here and I'll deal with the corpses."
"what!"
"What 'ah'? You'll damage the wolf pelt if you handle it like this, and we might need the pelt later. Let me do it." Wangyou took the sword from Xiao Ce and deftly began the dissection.
While Xuanhe and Xiao Ce were still in a daze, Wangyou had already completely dissected the wolf. The skill with which she did it sent chills down their spines.
