Chapter 148: Attack on the Praying Mantis
"Camping base?"
The six of them heard the system release the task again, and their attention involuntarily focused on it.
Just listen to the deep voice and continue:
"Mission 2: Find a camping base, you must rush to the camping base in the 'virtual secret realm' within three days, the task reward: +10 points per team. ”
Note 1: The first team to reach their destination will receive an additional 20 points. ”
"Note 2: For each monster killed on the way, the killer points will be +2 (on the way to the wilderness, there may be three to four 'beast king level' demon beasts, please arrange your tactics reasonably and pay attention to precautions). ”
When the mission is released, the sound stops abruptly.
Chen Yuan called up the holographic map, and sure enough, a light blue dot marked with the words "camping base" next to it appeared directly east of the map.
He made a rough estimate of the distance and took a closer look at the surrounding terrain.
Summoned the five people to his side, and said slowly: "I calculated, our current location is about one hundred and twenty kilometers away from the mission target 'camping base', if you speed up, you should be able to arrive in a day and a half." In addition, there are three main routes to get to the 'camping base'. ”
Chen Yuan continued to zoom in on the map, drawing three red lines in an area to the east, word by word:
"The first is the 'primeval jungle' in the northeast, followed by the 'canyon road' in the middle, and finally, the 'Stone Forest Formation' in the southeast. ”
Huo Yuan supported his cheek with one hand and analyzed: "From the perspective of time, taking the 'Canyon Road' is the fastest, and it may not take a day and a half to reach it, the 'Primeval Jungle' and the 'Stone Forest Formation' are not only farther away, but also mostly infested by demon beasts, even if it takes three days, it may not be possible to reach the target smoothly." In this way, I am afraid that no one will choose these two paths. ”
Chen Yuan glanced at him meaningfully and said, "Is there anything else to discover?"
"Something else discovered?" Huo Yuan was a little confused, "What do you mean?"
"Simple," Chen Yuan said with a smile, "If I were the constructor of this world, I would definitely deliberately set up two 'dead ends' that were obviously not suitable for traveling, lure everyone to the 'Canyon Road', and then put the Beastmaster in the 'Canyon Road' to wipe out all passers-by." ”
"Are you saying that the reason why the system arranged the 'Primeval Jungle' and the 'Stone Forest Formation' was deliberately made under a pretense in order to lure everyone to the 'Canyon Road' and annihilate them in one fell swoop?" Huo Yuan frowned.
"Not bad. Chen Yuan nodded, "Only in this way may be in line with the original intention of the education department to set up this trial, which is not to test our marching speed, but to face difficulties and overcome challenges." ”
"I'll ...... These scheming boys are too good at playing. Liu Xu couldn't laugh or cry, "Then what should we do, just rush over like this?"
"It's going to be up, but not now. A hint of cunning appeared in Chen Yuan's eyes.
"What do you mean?" Liu Xuan was confused.
Chen Yuan glanced at him, looked around at everyone, and said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, the vast majority of people will choose to go through the canyon road and march to the 'camping base', what we have to do is to wait patiently, and after a day, everyone will open and point to the mission goal." ”
"I understand," Huo Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "What you mean is to let us be 'Yellow Sparrows' for a while, and wait for the 'mantises' to charge into battle before waiting for the opportunity to move." ”
"I still don't understand," Liu Xu was even more confused when he heard this, and shouted, "What yellow finch, what praying mantis, is it possible...... Shall we give them 20 points for nothing?"
"It's just 20 points, whoever wants it will take it," Chen Yuanman said indifferently: "Everyone today."
Stay in place, recuperate, take turns on duty at night, beware of sneak attacks by monsters, and at the same time tomorrow, we will march to the canyon road together. ”
Although everyone knew nothing about Chen Yuan's "plan", they were very cooperative.
After a while, I found a suitable place to camp in the stone forest and began to camp and rest.
Chen Yuan came to a boulder, raised his eyes to look east, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said with a faint smile, "Feng Xiaoliu, Xia Qian'er, Liu Xuanwu...... We should all be on the road by now. ”
......
......
Virtual Technology Center.
Tan Mingyu and Teacher Ji stood side by side, staring at the holographic screen above.
On the screen, the current state of Chen Yuan and his party is clearly presented.
Seeing them camping in the stone forest, Tan Mingyu couldn't help but have a sneering smile in his eyes, and said lightly: "This Chen Yuan is really not simple, not only guessed the 'true intention' of the system, but also wanted other teams to be their own stepping stones. ”
Teacher Ji shook his head and sighed, "When the college entrance examination was commended, I thought he was a pure nerd, it seems that ...... We all underestimate him. ”
Tan Mingyu set his eyes on the stone forest and said slowly: "In this trial, the 'Canyon Road' will definitely become the area with the heaviest casualties, and the system has set up a total of 4 Beast King Lairs at the edge of the canyon, and it is almost impossible to get around it safely. In this case, it is indeed a good way to be a yellow finch in An'an. ”
"In this way, the group of elites you brought out with your own hands may become 'praying mantises' in the eyes of others. Teacher Ji said with a smile.
Tan Mingyu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "It is their own choice to be a 'praying mantis' or a 'yellow finch', if they can't understand the mystery in the trial, they have to drill into the dead end, and they deserve to 'die' in front of others." ”
Teacher Ji shook his head with a smile and raised his eyes to look at the other screens.
The corners of his mouth hooked, and he said, "Look, the first batch of 'praying mantises' is here." ’”
"Oh?" Tan Mingyu raised his eyebrows and looked up.
On the screen, the first batch of students have entered the sphere of influence of the first "Beastmaster's Lair".
The group of students was a "coalition army" of several different schools, and there were nine people in total.
Although they come from different schools, they cooperate with each other quite tacitly, and they are very good at advancing and retreating.
Soon, he found a relatively hidden path and lurked ahead.
Teacher Ji watched for a long time, and as soon as a hint of approval appeared on his face, a smile froze on his face.
I saw a huge, two-winged beast of the Beast King Realm descending from the sky, stopping in front of everyone, not even leaving time for everyone to react, and directly launched a strong attack.
These students had never seen a demon beast, let alone a "beastmaster".
Frightened, he didn't dare to resist at all, and immediately hugged his head and ran away.
For a while, screams and wails resounded throughout the "Virtual Reality Technology Center".
When Tan Mingyu saw this scene, his brows furrowed, and he shook his head frequently.
In just a few moments, the students paid a terrible price for their blind escape.
The six people were "killed" by the monster in the virtual world and were out of the game ahead of schedule, and the three of them were directly frightened, and took the initiative to give up the trial to the system, and were teleported out by the system.
At the same time, the hatches of the three "capsule instruments" opened with a "click".
One by one, the three students who had given up their qualifications for the trial sat up, their faces extremely pale, as if they had just experienced a painful nightmare.
"It's a pity," Mr. Ji sighed, "if you hold on for a few more seconds, you will be 'out', not 'expelled'." ”
"What's a pity, it's just a big wave of sand," Tan Mingyu smiled playfully and said, "The 'special training camp' cultivates elites, not deserters who flee from the battle, even if such people stay in the special training camp, they won't be able to become too much of a climate." ”
Teacher Ji Nunu mouthed, noncommittal, and continued to look at the holographic screen.
Nine people left early, and at this time, there were still 34 students left in the virtual world.
After another moment, a "multi-school team" composed of No. 5 Middle School, No. 6 Middle School, and Yuying Middle School cut into the canyon from another direction and quickly sneaked forward.
Having learned the lesson of the previous team, this team marched very quickly, and it didn't take long for them to reach a third of the canyon.
Just when everyone was secretly rejoicing, a terrible bird of prey suddenly sounded in the air.
A flying "beastmaster" with a body of more than 20 meters and covered in fire pierced through the clouds and swooped in.
For a moment, the entire night sky seemed to be lit up by it.
The "multi-school team" suddenly collapsed, and the eight students scattered and fled, and were quickly broken by each of the beastmasters.
The hatch of the "capsule instrument" popped up one after another, and four more students voluntarily gave up.
The remaining four students were "killed" by the monster and were out of the game early.
"Idiot, you can't even find cover, all exposed in the wild, waiting to be a target for the demon beast?" Tan Mingyu cursed.
Teacher Ji looked at him and said helplessly, "I'm thinking...... Wouldn't this type of trial be too difficult for them, after all, they are still high school students, they have never seen real demon beasts, and they have not been trained in blood and fire, so it is really a good thing to expose them to the cruel side of the real world too early?"
"You think it's early, but I think it's too late. ”
Tan Mingyu said indifferently, "How serious is the 'Demon Beast Tide' in Huaxia this time, you should know better than me, if the situation continues to expand, they will no longer be students, but a warrior waiting to sacrifice their lives for the country at any time." If you can't even cope with the challenges in the virtual world, what are you talking about forgetting your life and defending your country?"
When Mr. Ji heard him say this, he no longer refuted it.
Glancing at the holographic screen, he said, "Well, your student is here." ”
......
......
Virtual "secret land", the outer edge of the canyon road.
Feng Xiaoliu took a group of black pressure and entered the canyon road from the front.
Along the way, five members of the No. 1 Squadron and the large army were separated, and they were disgraced along with the team that had just entered the canyon.
At this time, there were only thirteen people left in the queue.
Fortunately, most of the survivors are elites, Zou Zhenshan, Yang Bo, and a group of "Sharp Knife Team" members are all impressively listed.
Feng Xiaoliu was wearing a black windbreaker, and his long hair danced wildly in the wind.
He took the lead and led everyone to the mouth of the canyon, and at a glance saw a shocking pool of blood on the ground in front of him.
Feng Xiaoliu stepped forward, squatted next to a pool of bloodstains, stretched out his hand on the bloodstains, took a closer look, and thought: "The blood is still fresh, and it shouldn't be long since the last battle ended." ”
Then he turned around and said to Zou Zhenshan and Yang Bo: "You each take three people, find a path to pass from the right side of the canyon, and the other four people follow me to pass through the left side, pay attention to finding cover, don't panic when you encounter the beast king, don't rush to fight, immediately issue an early warning, buy time for others, and strive to let more people pass through the canyon." ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Yang Bo and Zou Zhenshan immediately led the team into the dense forest on the right side of the canyon.
Feng Xiaoliu looked back, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Chen Yuan...... After hiding for so long, you should be about to go. ”
