Chapter 594: Chapter 593 A-level Emergency Task

Central Venue.

The original shattered Dragon Spine Mountain Range field had vanished, replaced by a flat green meadow.

The meadow was bustling with people, fully armed soldiers from the Ben Nong Army divided the field, maintaining order with the assistance of the Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros. Most of the lightly and seriously wounded were placed on the green meadow awaiting treatment, and from several temporarily erected military tents, cries of pain constantly emerged. Sisters from the Jade Deer Army and Jade Horn Cloud Deer were busily engaged.

Although the competition venue at the central venue was large, it couldn’t accommodate nearly a hundred thousand spectators; more uninjured people were still arranged to rest in the spectator stands. Bodies of the dead were carried out and placed on the periphery of the venue, covered in white cloths, further pressing down the atmosphere here.

In the center of the green meadow, four Tomb Guardian Beasts subdued a weak dragon, and on the near-transparent protective shield, ripples resembling water waves constantly undulated. The Iron-eating Giant Panda lay next to the protective shield resting, occasionally opening its eyes to vigilantly survey its surroundings.

Shao Zifeng sat on the grass, leaning against Yaya. He had unsummoned Yaya’s special form due to the fear of constantly triggering a "Natural Disaster," so it lay obediently on the ground, its breaths pressing the grass firmly against the ground. Yaya, as if finding a new toy, played tirelessly.

A small deer knelt next to Shao Zifeng, its head resting on his thigh, and from its ethereal antlers, small white flowers bloomed, emitting a light fragrance.

Witch Lingling, on the other hand, had taken over Shao Zifeng’s arms, her little face rubbing against his chest, looking extremely happy.

There were hardly any people around them, but everyone’s gaze stealthily sized him up—some grateful, some admiring, others worshipful.

Shao Zifeng’s hand gently stroked the small deer’s back, and watching the subdued dragon not far away, he reminisced about the events of the day. He had thought it was just a regular competition, but the subsequent developments had caught him off guard.

The key was what Li Fangyan had said to him last; if things went as expected, he should have gotten marked by "Fei."

Thinking about this gave him a bit of a headache—it was an existence from the same era as Nü Ling.

"Brother Shao, have something to eat," she said.

At that moment, a bottle of water and two pieces of bread were handed over.

Shao Zifeng came back to reality and found Li Yiming looking at him with concern.

"It’s Yiming," Shao Zifeng took the water and bread from his hand, squeezing out a rather gentle smile, "You guys weren’t hurt, right?"

Li Yiming shook his head and then nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then sat next to Zifeng. He looked at Yaya and the small deer, seeming to think he was sitting too close, and shifted a bit further. After all, contract beasts, unless trained, don’t like getting too close to other people.

After a moment of silence, Li Yiming tore open the packaging, took a bite of the bread and spoke unclearly, "I think it should be nothing serious, just got scraped by some rocks earlier. I heard all the injured are getting vaccinated later, and then they will be observed for a while."

Shao Zifeng tore off a piece of bread, turned around, and fed it to Yaya, watching the little guy happily eat it. He took a bite himself and said to Li Yiming, "Being cautious is good, take this time to rest well."

"Yeah," Li Yiming replied softly, then looked down and absentmindedly nibbled on his bread.

"Make way! Make way up front!"

Suddenly, from a distance, came waves of commotion as several young people in combat suits pushed a stretcher bed through the crowd. They looked panicked, continuously clearing the crowd, their eyes red as they yelled, "Where’s the doctor? Where’s the doctor?"

As a few people rushed towards them, Shao Zifeng instinctively got up and looked toward the stretcher bed, where he saw a tall woman lying bloodied. Her body was covered in wounds, the most severe being in her lower abdomen where her intestines were slightly visible, and blood constantly flowed down the stretcher, leaving striking red stains on the green meadow.

Seeing the approaching stretcher, Li Yiming leaned in and said quietly, "It’s the Martial Goddess Lu Lu from Central Military Academy."

Shao Zifeng was startled, recalling the tall woman who had wielded two military sabers and was Lu Anan’s cousin. He looked over to the military tents on the other side of the field and then back at the amount of blood Lu Lu was losing; she probably wouldn’t make it that far.

With that thought, Shao Zifeng no longer hesitated and stepped in front of the stretcher’s path.

The young soldiers immediately grew furious when they saw him blocking the way, their eyes bloodshot as they yelled at Shao Zifeng, "Get out of the way, move!"

Before Shao Zifeng could respond, Lingling, who was lying in his arms, paused, and the smile on her face instantly disappeared.

The next moment, several dark thorn vines burst from the ground. The thick vines, like black pythons, churned over the green grass, carrying fresh soil, and quickly wrapped around the men, suspending them in midair.

The surrounding crowd let out cries of shock, thinking they were under attack again, and nearby soldiers quickly mobilized, rushing towards the scene.

Swish, swish, swish!

Before they could get close, the green field churned again, and dozens of dark thorn vines appeared in front of the soldiers. The spiky vines aimed at their necks, ready to pierce through anyone who took another step forward.

Seeing this scene, there was a hushed silence all around, and no one dared to even breathe, including Shao Zifeng, who was also stunned.

A gentle breeze passed, and everyone saw a blur before them as a little girl in a Gothic puff skirt and a black veil tiny hat appeared midair. She held a Tang sword taller than herself and stood on the vines that suspended the men.

She pointed the sword at a man’s forehead, a red glow flickering under her black veil, yet her lips curved into a sweet smile.

Facing the terrified expression of the man under the sword, Lingling’s sweetly pleasant voice rose in the wind.

"Can you repeat what you just said?"

Shao Zifeng stared dumbfounded at the scene.

All he could think was how cool and safe... bullshit, doesn’t he see what’s happening here?!

Seeing that the Iron-eating Giant Panda was also startled, Shao Zifeng hurriedly ran towards it, shouting, "Lingling, come down!"

The Jade Horn Cloud Deer followed behind Shao Zifeng, its face showing a human-like expression of helplessness.

How did the clever and virtuous me end up with these two fools...

Life is hard, thought the Deer with a sigh.

(ˉ▽￣～) Sigh~~

...

Verdant ethereal vines entwined around Lu Lu on the hospital bed, who was severely injured, forcing Shao Zifeng to ask the Deer to use gentler healing methods.

Otherwise, with the Deer’s talent alone, it might drain all her life energy before saving her, not to mention that the open wound still needed stitching. It was enough to just keep her alive with the Life Seed.

The men also realized their earlier attitude had been improper, and some fearfully looked at Lingling, thanking Shao Zifeng before they hurriedly pushed the stretcher towards the military tent.

Watching the men leave, just as Shao Zifeng was about to reason with Lingling, his phone rang with a notification sound.

He pulled out his phone from his pocket and was surprised to find a message from the platform.
