Chapter 282: Captain ‘s Responsibility
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Secret realm, wasteland venue.
Wang Xiao and Gao Lixuan rode the [Silver Shadow Leopard] and led the way. Because not many people had seen his mutated beast, he did not have to worry about exposing his identity.
The remaining three rode their respective soldiers and chased. However, even if Wang Xiao deliberately slowed down a few times, it was still quite difficult for them to catch up. It could be seen that the difference in strength between the two sides was really not small.
Fortunately, this journey was not far. In two to three minutes, the few of them arrived at the place Gao Lixuan had marked. There was a quagmire dozens of square meters wide here. A few porcupines covered in spikes were rolling and playing in the quagmire.
Wang Xiao tore open the [Identification Scroll] and took a look. He turned around and said to Gao Lixuan, “It’s a silver level one [Iron Thorn Porcupine]… Shall I attack directly? I can get 90 points for three.”
Gao Lixuan did not say anything. He turned around and shouted at the three of them, “Lure these mutated beasts back to the base. We’ll cover them from the side!”
After seeing Gao Lixuan’s [Lord Skill], the three of them clearly trusted him more. When they heard this, they agreed and ordered the soldiers to go forward, preparing to anger the [Iron Thorn Porcupine] with small attacks before luring them back to the base.
However, just as the three soldiers were about to approach the quagmire, Gao Lixuan suddenly jumped to the ground. Immediately after, a khaki energy ring spread out from under his feet!
Rumble—
With a muffled sound like rolling thunder, the originally flat ground suddenly cracked. The three soldiers fell, and then with a bang, the cracked ground returned to its original state.
“Captain! What are you doing?”
A team member asked in confusion. The other two also had puzzled expressions. They did not understand why Gao Lixuan would get rid of their soldiers as soon as he came up.
However, before they could obtain an answer, the [Iron Thorn Porcupine] in the quagmire was alarmed by the ground cracking. Its red eyes rolled for a moment and quickly locked onto the three lords.
The three Iron Thorn Porcupines snorted a few times and the spikes on their backs began to tremble crazily. As they rubbed against each other, they actually emitted a metallic sound!
Seeing this scene, one of the lords reacted the fastest. He shouted, “Oh no!” and turned to run!
However, he did not expect a small mound to appear on the ground behind him. That person turned around and tripped on it. Before he could react, he fell heavily to the ground!
In the next second, the three [Iron Spike Porcupines] had already attacked. Hundreds of black spikes surged into the air and whistled towards the three of them like a rain of arrows!
“Gao Lixuan! Just you wait!”
A furious roar came from the arrow rain. Then, the three of them disappeared in a golden light.
“Done!”
Gao Lixuan dusted his hands indifferently and raised his chin at Wang Xiao. “We can deal with those three mutated beasts now.”
. I really don’t know what to say about you!”
Wang Xiao looked at Gao Lixuan and sighed. Then, he gave the [Silver Shadow
Leopard] a look. The latter growled and rushed torward. With a [Wind Splitting Claw], it dealt with the three [Iron Thorn Porcupines].
After receiving 90 points, Wang Xiao turned around and revealed a strange smile at Gao Lixuan. “You usually ignore people. I thought you didn’t care about them at all.’
“I don’t care.”
Gao Lixuan nodded without hiding anything, and the expression on his face was especially serious. “However, since I’m the captain, I have to be responsible for the lives of my team members. Their strength is not even comparable to Zhao Tiankuo. If it’s really as you expected, staying here will only lead to death.”
At this point, Gao Lixuan suddenly took a few steps towards Wang Xiao. “Have you thought of this when you were formulating the plan?”
Wang Xiao was stunned. Gao Lixuan suddenly grabbed Wang Xiao’s collar and asked coldly with a dark expression, “You think the top three teams have the strength to resist, but have you ever thought that even the number one Kaiyang Academy still has weaklings?!”
“I know you don’t have any evidence now and are worried that saying it will ruin this academy ranking assessment, but this matter concerns the lives of innocent people. What makes you think you have the right to decide who goes and who stays?”
Although Gao Lixuan was only tall enough to reach Wang Xiao’s chest, he was still the number one person in the Yuheng Academy after all. When he was angry, his aura was quite terrifying.
Wang Xiao was shocked by the other party’s aura and was stunned for a few seconds before smiling bitterly. “How did you know that I didn’t think of this when I made the plan?”
“You don’t look like you’ve thought about it.”
Gao Lixuan frowned and looked at Wang Xiao. After a moment, he finally let go. He sat on the ground and said coldly, “There’s only the two of us here. Tell me your plan.”
Wang Xiao wanted to refuse, but when he saw Gao Lixuan’s determined expression, he finally sighed and sat down. “This matter has to start from a few days ago…”
In the wasteland, 500 meters outside the Yuheng Academy base.
Fang Tianyu and Han Bufan stuck their heads out from behind a huge rock. When they saw the battlefield left behind by the chaotic battle of the four schools, especially the gully burned by the [Sun Er Fiery Flame], the two of them revealed shocked expressions.
“This ground simply seems to have been flipped over. No wonder the commotion just now was so huge!”
Han Bufan sized it up and whispered, “From the looks of it, at least three teams have fought here… Could it be Wang Xiao and the others?”
“Yuheng’s base is only a few hundred meters away. How can they not be there?”
Fang Tianyu pursed her lips and frowned slightly. “But I don’t know who their opponent is or what the outcome is.”
“Is there a need to ask? Their base is safe and sound. They must have won!”
Han Bufan pointed at the distant base. Then, he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed. “But they started such a huge battle from the beginning. Could it be that they want to harvest points and shake us
Fang Tianyu immediately shook her head when she heard this. “No, they want to eliminate the weaker teams first to prevent them from being killed by the enemy when there’s danger. This is one of Wang Xiao’s preparations for the plan. ”
“That’s what he said, but now that the points have all entered their pockets, who knows what he’s thinking?”
Han Bufan curled his lips and hesitated for a moment before whispering,
“C.aptain. T think we still have to prioritize the academy’s ranking assessment
now. ”
“The points of the participants are much higher than the mutated beasts. If Wang Xiao kills all the other teams, we can only kill all the mutated beasts if we want to catch up to the difference!”
Fang Tianyu looked at the Yuheng Academy base and did not speak, but the expression on her face was conflicted. This was because what Han Bufan said was also what she was worried about.
Until now, she still did not know what the “danger” Wang Xiao was talking about was, nor did she see any signs of danger about to happen.
Although Fang Tianyu believed in Wang Xiao, who could guarantee that this was not a trap set up by Wang Xiao for victory?
