104. Chapter 99
The Battle of the Hundred Schools Combat Cadet Singles Tournament finally came to an end, and Luis had a good result, but he did not appear in the top 10.
Si Nian felt that if Louis worked harder, he should be able to achieve better results, but from the perspective of hidden strength, the current results are already very good.
Luis also chose to remain anonymous in the individual competition, so his ranking did not attract much attention.
Si Nian looked at the overall ranking, and the top ten were all students who stayed in school, and Wen Dushan and others, who were in the same grade as Louis in the Interstellar Academy, were ranked just behind Louis.
These people seem to have been trying to fight against Luis some time ago, and they don't know what kind of expression they will have if they know Luis's results.
With the end of the individual competition, the qualifiers for the team competition have also come to an end.
The youth league led by Louis qualified smoothly, although it was only at the end of the line, but it was also very satisfactory to everyone.
Not everyone is as tough as Louis, and even the most arrogant Barton has a more accurate understanding of himself.
The first of the final of the battle series team competition was particularly special.
It is said that it is a new method that has been reached after discussions among major universities, that is, the mixed competition.
This is somewhat similar to the first match of the Star Academy Freshman Qualifying Tournament that Louis participated in, where all the participating teams participate together and complete the mission first or have the highest number of points to advance.
According to the official statement, there are too many teams in this competition, so that the stronger ones can be determined faster and those who are weaker can be eliminated. However, according to the grapevine obtained by Anrela, it is very likely that the new regulations this time are a trap set by the Interstellar Academy.
And the implementers are naturally several rival colleges and universities led by the Imperial College.
The form is stronger than the person, and there is no reason for the Interstellar Academy not to accept it, so there will be a new competition mode this time.
"Prepare for the race. The placement location is random, the environment is random, and the difficulty is random. Countdown 3, 2, 1, go! ”
An electronic synthesized sound sounded, and all the contestants were thrown to all corners of the battlefield.
With a bit of luck, landed on a normal piece of land.
If you are unlucky, all kinds of situations can arise naturally.
What is in the water, in the mud, in the crater, next to mutant plants......
It's not uncommon for a team to be wiped out because of the harsh living environment that they encountered as soon as they appeared, but it's a pity that the battle of 100 schools, as an unfair game, will not provide an opportunity for this kind of player to "make up the exam".
As a result, the people who had the misfortune to hang up at the beginning of the game had to leave the battlefield in disgrace, and the only gain was probably the cheap sympathy of the audience.
The place where the Youth League landed was quite reliable, it was a desolate desert.
The area of the desert is so large that at first glance there is no edge in sight.
And the desert looks the same everywhere during the day, and even those who are familiar with the terrain can easily get lost in this sea of sand.
Louis opened the map, and the digital map quickly realized the direction and ability reaction.
The former is the basis for their walking, while the latter is telling them what kind of enemy might appear there.
The "enemy" here does not refer to other teams, but to the various mutated animals in the desert that exist in their own right.
According to the ability, the more powerful the creature, the more obvious it is. And because the mecha contains an anti-reconnaissance system, it is not easy to be captured.
"I'm in front, Balton is behind, and Si Nian is in the middle." Luis commanded in the team channel.
Even if Si Nian has a feeling of being underestimated, he has to admit that such an arrangement is the most reasonable. After this period of training, the gap between his strength and Barton may not be so big, but there is one thing that cannot be made up in a short period of time, that is-experience!
Where are the best hiding places?
Where is the enemy most likely?
What are some of the seemingly peaceful but deadly dangers in the desert?
Si Nian didn't know.
The courses of the combat department are not learned in vain, just like Si Nian did not dare to completely ignore the courses taught in the classroom even if he had the "General Guide", there are some things that cannot be learned in textbooks, and this knowledge is a treasure that the instructors have sorted out with their lifelong experience.
The three of them didn't mean anything to Luis's arrangement, so when the youth group entered the competition, they began to move forward cautiously.
This time, the task of advancing to the tournament is very simple, as long as you reach the designated location on the board, as for the ambush or other creatures attacked along the way, it is allowed to happen in the game.
This time the arena is divided into seven sections, each of which is very similar, with only a few differences in details. This is not to distinguish between them, but this time there are indeed more contestants than in previous years, so a certain diversion has been carried out.
The nearest mission on the map is about 70 kilometers to the south of them, but there are two red markers on this route, which are supposed to be two particularly strong mutant creatures.
After a little thought, Louis decided to shift the direction slightly.
Walking along the established route, a group of people were cautious, but not slow.
Soon, they walked a distance of more than 30 kilometers.
During this journey, they also occasionally encountered a few mutant beasts that they couldn't avoid, but because the mutant beasts were not strong, they were quickly defeated, and the materials were collected into mechas, waiting for the end of the game to be converted into points.
They didn't meet any other teams along the way, and they didn't know if it was too far away or if everyone avoided it in advance, but the expected battle never happened.
After about 20 kilometers of progress, they were almost at the point where the second red dot was, and according to the original idea, they needed to make a detour nearby.
Because of the map, getting around is not that difficult to do. But just as they had bypassed more than half of the way around and could finally breathe a sigh of relief, the red dot on the map suddenly disappeared!
"Speed up, follow me!" Louis shouted in the channel.
Si Nian and Barton hurriedly accelerated, and as they could see from the map, Louis was not taking a pre-set route, but a new direction that deviated more from the original position of the red dot.
Linked to the sudden disappearance of the red dot, it is not difficult to see why Louis did this.
Now, the two who followed behind could only pray that Louis's guess was wrong, otherwise......
Unfortunately, things seem to be going in the worst direction, as the red dots that had disappeared for a few seconds reappear, and this time, the distance between them seems to be much closer.
The red dot that appeared again seemed to be moving rapidly towards them, so fast that Si Nian had the illusion that the mutated creature was sitting in a spaceship and making a space jump.
Half a minute later, Louis raised his hand and stopped.
"Don't run, it's faster than us, we can't outrun it."
The enemy is in hot pursuit, and instead of fleeing in vain, it is better to leave the strength to prepare for battle, and there is a glimmer of hope.
The red dot is getting closer and closer, and I don't know how it senses, but it's even more powerful than ordinary radar.
Louis was ready to give it a go.
However, before the red dot arrived, another team flew in front of them.
The two sides obviously didn't expect each other to meet in such a situation, but looking at the school uniforms, both parties should be students of the Interstellar Academy.
The other party stopped, and soon Luis, as the captain, received the other party's invitation to call.
"Hello, I'm Yalida from the Women's League. Will you be able to deal with the enemy with us? Arida asked bluntly.
Because they both belong to the Interstellar Academy, and they have not reached the time when the competition is at their most fierce, it is a very normal thing to join forces.
"Hello, I'm the young master of the Youth League. It's coming, get ready for battle! Louis also said without delay.
Louis's concealment of his identity and commanding words made Arida slightly unhappy, but she quickly put them aside.
After all, what the other party said is not wrong at all, it is about to arrive!
The red dot reached faster than expected.
Almost at the same time that the two teams had just reached an intention to work together, the red dot also arrived at their location.
The gentle desert suddenly swelled like flowing water, and then a pair of huge dark brown pincers suddenly came out of the sand.
The sand slowly slid down, and in a short time, a huge scorpion appeared in front of everyone.
