Why is it foggy?
The weather bureau didn't say the next week would be sunny.
"Make a call and ask the weather bureau what's going on."
Teacher Wang in the command center frowned as he watched the thick fog gradually spread.
Dense fog reduces visibility and significantly increases the difficulty of outdoor training.
Soon, the assistant, having finished the call, replied:
The weather bureau said it was a sudden weather event.
"But it's nothing serious; the fog should dissipate in less than half a day."
Teacher Wang nodded. "It wouldn't be bad to increase the difficulty for these geniuses."
"Contact the teaching assistant every hour."
However, Teacher Wang still kept an extra watchful eye.
Assistant: "Yes."
"It's getting foggy."
Qin Ze had some doubts.
It was a bright and sunny day not long ago.
Why is there such a thick fog all of a sudden?
"Senior Nangong, has there been any message from the command center?" Qin Ze asked Nangong Qianrou, who was not far behind him.
Only teaching assistants can communicate with the command center.
Nangong shook his head. "No."
Qin Ze understood.
It seems this weather condition was within the command center's expectations.
"Retract the formation."
" Huai Xu, use your abilities to keep a close eye on things."
Qin Ze made the arrangements in an orderly manner.
Visibility was less than ten meters.
If you were to get close to a beast that can hide its tracks in this situation, the consequences would be severe.
Fortunately, there was an " Eagle Eye " in the professional team.
If Huai Xu uses his abilities, he can see further than they can.
"Leave it to me."
"My eyes are my ruler."
Huai Xu patted his chest and said.
The professional team proceeded cautiously.
Although the beasts were not of high level, apart from Qin Ze, this was the first time the others had actually fought against beasts in their normal state.
The team needs time to gel in all aspects.
Seeing this, Nangong Qianrou nodded in satisfaction.
The team in front of her was the most efficient new team she had ever seen.
They are even significantly stronger than those veteran teams that are venturing into the Abyss for the first time.
Both Qin Ze's on-the-spot command and the team members' obedience were very professional.
Nangong thought to himself, "No wonder they're a team that can solo a level 5 quest."
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Haidu Academy will win both the individual and team championships in this year's Hundred Schools Competition.
There's something going on.
The foremost scout, Huai Xu, raised his right fist.
Everyone immediately lowered their bodies.
Ahead, everything was a white blur, and Qin Ze and the others couldn't see anything.
"There's a big guy 150 meters directly ahead," Huai Xu whispered.
Qin Ze nodded. "The first kill has arrived, let's move out."
Upon hearing this, the professional team immediately dispersed and took up different positions.
Fatty and Lu Tongtong stood at the very back.
Qin Ze and Wen Jing were in the middle.
The Huai Xu, like the pagoda tree, is the beginning of drawing a bow and nocking an arrow.
whoosh--
The moment an arrow was shot, Wen Jing moved accordingly.
Qin Ze, who was bringing up the rear, also followed.
The level of the alien beasts deployed in this training camp is too low.
Qin Ze could kill him with a single slap.
Therefore, he also prepared to take on the role of bodyguard, giving others a good opportunity to practice.
A hundred meters away, under a tree, a two-meter-tall black-haired wild boar was digging in the soil with its two sharp tusks.
It grunted and kept digging a hole, extremely agitated.
The sound of something cutting through the air rang out behind us.
The black-haired wild boar turned around warily, and the arrow struck it squarely in the head.
Driven by inertia, the black-haired wild boar was pushed backward several meters by the arrow.
Although the arrow hit the bullseye, it was not fatal.
The wild boar let out a low growl, its red eyes filled with rage.
Suddenly, the thick fog in the distance parted to both sides, Wen Jing rushed out.
With lightning speed, Wen Jing's Iron Fist instantly smashed half of the black-haired wild boar's head.
boom--
The wild boar's massive body collapsed.
Wen Jing thought the matter was settled and drew his short knife from his waist, preparing to dig out the Soul Orb.
The wild boar, now with only half a head remaining, staggered to its feet and thrust its two sharp tusks forcefully towards Wen Jing, who was bending over.
Wen Jing was caught off guard and stabbed in the chest by the fangs, which lifted him up.
Fortunately, he was wearing a soft armor that he had previously exchanged for with mission merits; otherwise, his upper body would have been pierced through by the wild boar's sharp tusks.
Wen Jing was shocked to see the black-haired wild boar with only half of its brain remaining, and most of it exposed.
How come they're still alive?
"Roar--"
A tiger's roar rang in my ears.
Wen Jing saw a fierce tiger formed from concentrated blood and qi crash heavily into a black-haired wild boar.
The wild boar was knocked more than ten meters away and crashed heavily to the ground.
Its body twitched a few times, and finally it was dead beyond any doubt.
Are you alright?
Qin Ze emerged from the fog.
Wen Jing rubbed his chest and shook his head.
"Fine."
This strange beast, when converted to the level of a martial artist, would be at most level 0.5.
Even a full-force attack couldn't break through Wen Jing's soft armor.
However, what Qin Ze found strange was how ferocious this beast was.
Even an F-class alien beast would be forced to kneel if half its head were blown off.
The black-haired wild boar not only survived, but also had the strength to fight back.
Qin Ze stepped forward and examined the beast's corpse, but found nothing unusual.
"Dig out the Soul Orb."
Wen Jing immediately squatted down and began to operate.
The others arrived at this time as well.
Huai Xu glanced at the arrow stuck in the other half of the beast's head, then raised his hand and made a victory sign.
What does "shooting an arrow through a willow leaf from a hundred paces" mean?
"This is the art of hitting a willow leaf from a hundred paces."
Nangong Qianrou also saw the corpse of the strange beast.
The attacks were all aimed at vital points, clean and efficient.
Such skillful teamwork is enough to take them even to the Abyss.
A moment later, Wen Jing dug out the Soul Orb and tossed it to Qin Ze.
Qin Ze then tossed it to Lu Tongtong.
"You don't need to be at the forefront; use your abilities to Deduction in crucial moments."
Lu Tongtong nodded and put away the Soul Orb.
Immediately, Qin Ze addressed the group seriously, saying, "Although there were some unexpected issues, the first kill went relatively smoothly overall."
"Everyone must be on high alert for the battle to come."
"Don't let your guard down. Even if you think the beast is dead, you still have to finish it off with a few more blows."
Nangong Qianrou felt that Qin Ze was being a little too cautious.
But she was just a bodyguard, so she didn't say much.
Over the next half day, Qin Ze and his group encountered two more strange beasts.
One is below F-rank, and the other is also below F-rank.
Like the previous black-haired wild boar, these two beasts also displayed combat power and tenacious vitality that were completely beyond their level.
After Wen Jing extracted the Soul Orb from the second strange beast, Nangong suddenly spoke up, "Something's not right."
Having experienced the Abyss no less than ten times, Nangong Qianrou also noticed the abnormality of these two strange beasts.
Qin Ze glanced at her. "You noticed?"
Nangong nodded. "Their strength needs to be raised by at least three levels, and their recovery ability is astonishing."
"This shouldn't be something that beasts below Rank F possess, not even Rank F."
Huai Xu plopped down on the ground. "No wonder it's so difficult. Even with their heads blown off, they're still scratching wildly. Could the organizers have deliberately fed them something to increase the difficulty?"
Qin Ze looked at the thickening fog. "Isn't this difficult enough?"
Boom--
An explosion in the distance, shrouded in mist, interrupted everyone's thoughts.
