Chapter 300: Chapter 298: Your Time to Cry

In the vast forest, silhouettes flitted about, cautiously exploring deeper into the woods.

"Everyone, in addition to being vigilant against bandits for this mission, we should also be wary of Mo Ye Team, especially Ding Yi. That man is petty and can’t be underestimated," said Qing Wu as she released her Martial Arts True Intent, conveying the message with power.

The members of the Dragon Hunting Team nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Fighting amongst members of the Genius Camp is prohibited. Other than that, there are no rules, but Ding Yi from Mo Ye Team might still likely sabotage them here.

"Kuang Dao, this is Xiao Ye’s first mission outside. He is your responsibility," Qing Wu communicated once more.

Kuang Dao smirked at her words, drawing the long knife from his back and approaching Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye glanced at Kuang Dao and let out a wry smile. He didn’t expect to receive such special attention.

Though he had only been at the Genius Camp for ten days, his strength had increased significantly. On the other hand, there hadn’t been much breakthrough in the cultivation of the members of the Dragon Hunting Team.

That was normal.

The harder it gets in the later stages of the Xuanwu Realm, the harder it is to improve even a minor realm. However, Xiao Ye was different. With his three Xuandans, his potential could be considered limitless. As long as he had enough Mid-grade Primordial Stones, his strength would explode.

"My current strength is not weaker than Kuang Dao’s, and with my Physical Body defense, I have even more of an advantage over him," Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled with confidence.

Nevertheless, he didn’t reject the goodwill and allowed Kuang Dao to walk beside him.

Giant Heavenly Trees rose from the ground, their dense foliage blocking the sunlight, which didn’t hinder the three teams from the Genius Camp in the slightest.

They each operated their True Intent Skill, their Martial Arts True Intent extending like tentacles in all directions, bringing back any information they detected.

Xiao Ye also activated his True Intent Skill, and in an instant, everything in a fifteen-mile radius was clearly fed back to him.

Since he had developed a fused Martial Arts True Intent, he had practiced many times, and now he could control it with ease.

Moreover, during his practice, Xiao Ye made an astonishing discovery: When he used the fused True Intent to detect, Xuanwu Realm Martial Artists couldn’t notice it. It seemed that the fused Martial Arts True Intent was a very special existence.

"I wonder where the bandits are hiding?" Xiao Ye’s gaze sharpened.

This forest was too vast, seemingly without an end. Forty members from the Genius Camp entering here were like a drop of water joining the sea.

Just half an hour later, a continuous roar of beasts echoed through the dense forest, followed by the trembling of the ground.

"Ferocious Beasts!"

"Looks like there are quite a few of them!"

"Heh heh, hope there aren’t too few—best if there are a thousand. Otherwise, it won’t be satisfying to kill them."

The three teams stopped and chatted casually, seemingly unconcerned, some even licking their lips in anticipation.

As members of the Genius Camp, their cultivation was at the peak of the young generation of Xingyun Kingdom. Each of them could fight beyond their Realm, and together, they obviously wouldn’t fear Ferocious Beasts.

"Something’s wrong!" However, Xiao Ye’s expression changed slightly because the Ferocious Beasts were still ten miles away, and only he had detected them.

The image fed back by the fused True Intent was one of countless formidable Ferocious Beasts charging toward them. Xiao Ye roughly estimated and concluded that the number of these beasts was definitely over ten thousand, all of them in the Xuanwu Realm.

Ten thousand Xuanwu Realm Ferocious Beasts?

The sheer number made Xiao Ye’s scalp tingle. If they were surrounded by over ten thousand Ferocious Beasts, there would definitely be casualties in the Genius Camp.

"Damn, I didn’t expect my first mission to be this dangerous!" Xiao Ye clenched his hand and took out an Identity Token from his Space Ring.

This Identity Token was not only linked to his personal information but was also a top-tier defensive Xuan Artifact.

Xiao Ye channeled his power into it according to the Genius Camp manual. Instantly, the Identity Token transformed into a dazzling suit of golden armor, covering his entire body except for his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Ye’s reaction, members of the Dragon Hunting Team were at a loss for words. It was only a few Ferocious Beasts, yet Xiao Ye was so nervous.

"Defend quickly, there are over ten thousand of those beasts!" Xiao Ye shouted.

"What, over ten thousand? How do you know?" Qing Wu frowned slightly.

"Defend quickly if you don’t want to die!" Xiao Ye brusquely interrupted her. In a life or death situation, he had no time to waste words with her.

Qing Wu was momentarily stunned and then ground her little tiger teeth. Xiao Ye dared to speak to her like that.

"Fine!" Kuang Dao was the first to nod, taking out his Identity Token from his Space Ring and turning it into a golden armor.

The rest of the members from the Dragon Hunting Team hesitated for a moment and then followed suit.

"Humph, if you dare to deceive me, you’ll see if I won’t beat you up when we get back!" Qing Wu muttered, waving her jade hand, and suddenly, a radiant golden light descended from the sky, covering her delicate body with golden armor.

The actions of the Dragon Hunting Team caught the attention of the other two teams.

"Hahaha, these sissies, to be scared by mere Ferocious Beasts like that—it’s hilarious."

"Miss Qing Wu, I think you should take your little insect hunting team back to the Genius Camp. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that your members won’t pee their pants out of fear, and that would be really embarrassing."

...

Two teams emitted wanton jeers, with Mo Ye Team jeering the loudest, especially Ding Yi who was looking over with a smirk that was not quite a smile.

Xiao Ye opened his mouth, prepared with words of warning for them, but swallowed them back down in the face of the taunts.

He, Xiao Ye, hadn’t yet stooped so low as to eagerly press his warm face against someone’s cold backside.

"Now let you laugh all you want, you’ll have your time to cry later." Xiao Ye’s gaze turned icy cold.

Boom!

Soon, like the end of the world, the ground quaked even more violently, dust filled the sky, and countless Heavenly Trees toppled down in front of everyone. Huge figures emerged within sight of the crowd.

Xiang Nan’s Team and Mo Ye Team’s laughter stopped abruptly, their members as if their throats clenched, staring dumbfounded ahead, bodies shaking.

Because the horde of Ferocious Beasts had entered their range covered by Martial Arts True Intent, and the dense number made their scalps tingle with numbness.

Both Ding Yi and Guo Tao’s faces were equally stunned.

However, before they could respond, mountain-like figures already raised their heads in a long howl, pouncing towards them and smashing everything in their path into pieces, revealing their ferocious faces under the sunlight.

"Quick, attack now!"

Members of Xiang Nan’s Team and Mo Ye Team turned pale with fright, with no time left to form a defense, they could only unleash their powerful strength to meet the Ferocious Beasts head-on.

But there were simply too many beasts, one Ferocious Beast might not handle a member of Genius Camp, but two, three... even a hundred beasts lunged at them, instantly overwhelming their figures.

As for the Dragon Hunting Team, having a defensive Xuan Artifact and heeding Xiao Ye’s warning, they had already bypassed this area and headed in the direction where Ferocious Beasts were sparest.

In turn, Xiang Nan’s Team and Mo Ye Team were entangling the horde for them, leaving them under almost no pressure.

Swoosh!

At this moment, a thick beam of light descended from the heavens, saving a member of Xiang Nan’s Team from being crushed under a beast’s paw.

"After the mission ends, Xiang Nan’s Team is required to handover two hundred thousand Contribution Points!" Jiu Zhu’s indifferent voice sounded from above.

Members of Genius Camp are all treasures of King Xingyun, it’s normal to encounter danger during a mission, of course, he wouldn’t watch them die. But every time he took action, they needed to handover Contribution Points as a price.

Otherwise, wouldn’t members of Genius Camp have no pressure at all?

"Damn it, how did the Dragon Hunting Team know about the number of beasts in advance!" Guo Tao’s mood plummeted upon hearing Jiu Zhu’s words.

Xiang Nan’s Team hadn’t earned any Contribution Points yet, but now they were already deducted two hundred thousand.

"Swoosh!"

Just then, another member of Xiang Nan’s Team was saved by Jiu Zhu’s hand.

"Four hundred thousand Contribution Points now!" Guo Tao’s heart trembled violently, as if stabbed by a knife, the pain was unbearable.

"Everyone buck up, let’s break out together!" Guo Tao shouted angrily, exploding with surging power, shaking off the surrounding Ferocious Beasts.

He took the lead, driving his strength to the peak, and began slaying towards the outer ring.

Apart from Xiang Nan’s Team, two members of the Mo Ye Team were also saved by Jiu Zhu’s intervention, and needed to handover four hundred thousand Contribution Points after the mission, which almost made Ding Yi spit blood.

Those who were previously mocking the Dragon Hunting Team had flushed faces, filled with immense regret, and followed Guo Tao in breaking out.

It must be said, the overall strength of these two teams was indeed strong, even ten thousand Ferocious Beasts couldn’t stop them; instead, they fought back fiercely, gradually cleaving a bloody path.

At this time, the Dragon Hunting Team, having easily broken through the beast horde, were each suspended in midair, gazing into the distance.

"Serves them right for mocking us."

"Haha, it’s just too satisfying to watch them be arrogant now."

"We really have to thank Xiao Ye for this one, otherwise we would’ve suffered heavy losses, maybe even our earned Contribution Points would’ve been completely lost."

With these words, members of the Dragon Hunting Team looked at Xiao Ye with gratitude.

"Lord Jiu Zhu, didn’t you say you wouldn’t help us?" Xiao Ye asked with a slight smile.

Kuang Dao then spoke: "Xiao Ye, what Lord Jiu Zhu meant was that he wouldn’t help us find the bandits’ location. As for protecting our lives, he will step in, but each intervention costs two hundred thousand Contribution Points."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye finally understood. Two hundred thousand Contribution Points was indeed a hefty sum, it seems Ding Yi and Guo Tao must be spitting blood now.

"Xiao Ye!"

Qing Wu flew over, her beautiful eyes unwaveringly fixed on Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye revealed a trace of a smile: "Captain, what’s the matter?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me!" Qing Wu huffed adorably, "You haven’t told me how you knew in advance about the number of Ferocious Beasts."

The Dragon Hunting Team quieted down; this was something they too wanted to know.
