He Fei suddenly exclaimed, shoving his wristwatch towards everyone's faces. "Look! We're number one in points! Our team is now in first place on the leaderboard! Those mutated wolves outside are worth a lot of points too!"
Chapter 239 Driven Mad by Points, One-on-One Challenge
Wang Qiang and the others were dumbfounded; only now did they finally decide to come out.
No, that's not the point. Right now, the Sang Family's team is cleaning up the battlefield; they've collected all the corpses of those mutated wolves below.
A few, however, remained where they were.
The car was folded up; it was time to leave.
Wang Qiang and his companions were already exhausted, and now, after a night without rest and living in fear, they were almost at their breaking point.
Seeing how quickly Sang Luoluo and the others cleaned up the battlefield, and witnessing firsthand the abilities of space-type Evolver, truly makes one envious and jealous.
Wang Qiang said to his equally uneasy brothers, "Let's go down too. We can't let them escape. If we follow them, these mutated wolves will come back again. Following them will help to spread our firepower."
"Captain, they came out after eating and drinking their fill and getting plenty of rest. We've been working all night and are almost at our limit."
Wang Qiang slapped him on the back of the head. "Wake up, is rest more important or your life? Those mutated wolves remember our scent. Once we're alone, we won't be able to get out."
They were having a hard time dealing with him, but last night, they all witnessed someone in their team controlling 10 Crystal Core out of thin air and firing them simultaneously, each shot hitting its target. That kind of strength was equivalent to a ten-man squad.
Moreover, the other members of their team are also quite strong. They are all Evolver, fully equipped, and there is even a space-type Evolver. They carry ample resources and can take away any mutated animals they hunt at any time.
After Wang Qiang finished speaking, the group didn't linger any longer and quickly climbed down from the tree, closely following behind Sang Luoluo and her group.
Lei Qi was somewhat uneasy when he saw that the Wang Family's entourage was still following them. "They're still with us."
Qi Feng sneered, "There are still mutated wolves; they don't dare to act alone. They want to take advantage of us."
Qi Xue's eyes lit up with an idea. "Then let's take everything that comes our way, leaving them nothing. Although our team is already in first place on the leaderboard, the teams behind us will definitely catch up. What a great opportunity!"
Sang Luoluo smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it that way."
"We dealt with all the mutated animals around here yesterday. Let's continue deeper in. There are dozens of Crystal Core there."
Sang Luoluo pointed in a direction ahead. She sensed the Crystal Core within her range. Within a 30-meter radius, the Crystal Core she could control with her Mental Power were directly pulled into the space. However, she couldn't do anything about crystal Crystal Core beyond that range. If the Crystal Core was in a bird's nest on a tree branch tens of meters high, she could use her Mental Power to retrieve it from a distance in mid-air. But Crystal Core on the ground were not so easy to obtain.
Sang Luoluo thought that if the underground Crystal Core were too deep, she should forget about them, unless they had exceptionally high energy. It would be a pity to miss them. She could dig within a 5-meter range, and with her Mental Power, she could control the depth to 35 meters. Any deeper than that was out of the question. Taking a Crystal Core was too much of a waste of time. It would be better to use that time to find Crystal Core elsewhere.
The Chuanchuan was the first to sense something was wrong ahead and let out a whimpering warning.
No one dared to let their guard down. Sang Luoluo took a few steps forward and sensed a beehive about 300 meters ahead.
"There's another beehive ahead. Giant bees, even bigger than the one we encountered last time. The hive is located in a forest. I can only sense a part of it. There are more of these mutated bees than I expected."
Some unidentified mutated wildflowers have bloomed nearby. Fortunately, they are not aggressive, and even if some are poisonous, the toxicity is weak. With proper precautions, there shouldn't be any major problems.
As for the mutated plants that can move, they do exist, but Sang Luoluo has a very keen sense of perception. She notices the unusual nature of the mutated plants and warns everyone to avoid them to prevent them from getting caught in the trap.
Excitement flickered in their eyes. Qi Xue tentatively asked, "You've all run into each other, are you planning something big?"
Sang Luoluo told them about the remaining weapons and supplies in the space, saying, "The number of those bombs is limited; once they're used up, they're gone."
Qi Feng said, "Once we've dealt with the beehive, our team's points will increase significantly. We can go back first and exchange for some equipment. I realized this time we should prepare some special items."
Sang Luoluo said, "Okay, let's get started then."
"Most of the mutated bees are in the hive right now. I'll ambush them first. That way, when Lei Qi and Qi Xue enter my space and I pull the mutated bees in, you just need to shoot."
Although she could use her Mental Power to control 10 Crystal Core to attack, she still needed to spare some attention to control the outside world, where mutated bees would also fly out.
"No problem, this is a good opportunity to study the new tactics."
Qi Feng said, thinking of the people following behind, "Leave the rest to me. That way, Chuanchuan can also enter the space to attack. Its lightning control ability is stronger than mine, and its attack power is no less than that of Crystal Core."
"Okay, let's do it that way."
The group made their way to the vicinity of the hive. It was just dawn, and the dew in the forest was heavy, so the mutated bees weren't very active.
Sang Luoluo put Qi Xue, Lei Qi, and Chuanchuan into her spatial dimension. They stayed in the pitch-black space, unable to see their surroundings, and waited quietly.
With her toes off the ground, Sang Luoluo slowly rose to the vicinity of the hive. Her Mental Power instantly pulled the mutated giant bees active within the hive within a thirty-meter radius into space, placing them directly in front of Qi Xue and the others. Trapped in a space, unable to fly out...
They just need to focus on shooting.
Then another batch of bees was brought in.
There were hundreds, and at least a dozen. Batch after batch, Qi Xue and the others never stopped shooting at them in the space. If one shot didn't kill them, they would be riddled with holes by multiple shots.
Chuanchuan of lightning struck the mutated giant bees, instantly charring them to a crisp. Sang Luoluo was very satisfied.
Continue pulling the mutated bees out of the hive.
Some of the mutated bees noticed that their companions had disappeared. They were puzzled but didn't find anything else amiss. A few that came out to wander around were shot dead by Qi Feng and He Fei and fell to the ground.
Wang Qiang's team, who had finally caught up, noticed a giant beehive ahead. Before they could even get within 100 meters, Qi Feng's voice rang out. "Don't go any further. We've discovered this beehive. If you go any closer, don't blame us for being impolite."
Wang Qiang and his team heard the warning sound, but they didn't dare to be reckless. They could vaguely see energy in the distance, and the information detected by their instruments indicated that the giant beehive was no less dangerous than the mutated wolves, and perhaps even more terrifying. Yet their team had actually gone directly to provoke that thing.
Wang Qiang cursed inwardly, but exhaustion overwhelmed him. He said, "Let's rest here and not fight them for that thing anymore. There's a tree hollow over there; let's widen it a bit and rest inside. Everyone's exhausted; let's replenish our strength first."
"That thing isn't easy to defeat. A few people going to provoke such a huge hive? They're crazy for points."
Wang Qiang knew they were strong, but he didn't think their small team had the ability to take on the Hive one-on-one.
Everyone else was exhausted, so they left one person to keep watch while the rest went to the tree hollow and fell fast asleep.
Qi Feng had been keeping an eye on the situation, but seeing that Wang Qiang's group was behaving themselves, he didn't interfere.
Sang Luoluo freely moved through every corner of the beehive, pulling all the mutated bees inside into the space. Her consciousness could also see Qi Xue and Lei Qi working themselves to the bone in the space, with Chuanchuan also trying to unleash lightning. Lei Qi even used bombs, and the corpses of the mutated bees in that space kept piling up.
Sang Luoluo continued to pull mutated bees into the space until she had pulled most of them in and dealt with the problem.
Finally, some of the mutated bees noticed something was wrong, and swarms of bees emerged from the hive, intending to attack the intruders.
Seeing this, Sang Luoluo threw the mutated black bear in the space onto the ground, used the Crystal Core chainsaw to cut off a piece of highly radioactive honey and threw it on the bear, so that it could eat while enduring the fire.
And they didn't forget to place a basin of Spirit Spring Water mixed with honey on the ground.
The mutated black bear loved honey so much that it immediately grabbed it and stuffed it into its mouth; it was already used to being fed by that human.
While eating honey, it smelled the scent of the Spirit Spring Water and bent down to find a drink. This large mutated black bear undoubtedly became a sitting duck, and the mutated bees immediately set their sights on it.
Being targeted and attacked by bees made the mutated black bear impatient, and it slapped several bees to death. The carcasses stuck to the tree trunk and wouldn't fall.
Qi Feng and He Fei gasped in shock, still firing at the mutated bees that had been launched. Qi Feng even used his lightning power; although the giant bees were large, they were instantly charred and defenseless under the lightning's influence.
Seeing this, Sang Luoluo felt more at ease cleaning up the remaining mutated bees in the hive, pulling them all into her spatial dimension to deal with them.
Moreover, after a period of free flight, she had already figured out the size of the edible honey in the hive, and even killed the queen bee.
