Chapter 262: You Are More Important Than the Task

"Whoa!"

The waves rolled and the tsunami swept in, engulfing the old cars and low-rise buildings parked on the road.

The road was empty, except for a few people running fast on the water, surrounded by many elves.

Green Vine Serpent, Menas, Moon Elf, Coo, Flower Sea Lion......

It was Menas' magical ability to control water that made these people walk on the water.

"Boss, this is too difficult, isn't it? With a tsunami of this magnitude, a gym-level elf can't control it, right? ”

Fang Chang gasped as he ran.

"This mission is not for us to face the big boss behind the scenes, as long as we rescue the researchers trapped in the research room."

Ye Chenxi glanced at the light screen in the lower right corner:

[Researchers rescuing the Blue Whale Lab 02]

[Remaining time: 01:56:20]

The place where they are currently located is a small town on the southeast coast of China 70 years ago, and at this moment this town is being attacked by sea spirits.

Most of the citizens had already evacuated when they received the news, but there were still two researchers who did not leave at the first time due to the research project, and are now trapped in the research institute and unable to leave.

And the task of Ye Chenxi and his team is to rescue the two elven researchers within the specified time.

Of course, this is all the actual combat class content of the Tianyan Department.

After a few days, everyone has become accustomed to the rhythm of life in the Tianyan Headquarters.

When they first entered the Tianyan Headquarters, they thought that they would be tempered by the devil similar to military training, but it turned out that this place was actually similar to a school, and they had to attend classes every day.

Because Ye Chenxi's Tianji team's main task in the future is to explore the secret realm, the courses they take are all related to the investigation and actual combat of the secret realm.

For example, [Trainer's Self-Protection Course] [How to Use Elven Habits and Terrain] [Survival in the Secret Realm] [Basic Teamwork Cooperation]......

But the most important thing is this practical course.

The actual combat class was conducted indoors, but the way of virtual equipment was used to allow Ye Chenxi's team to enter different worlds and complete tasks.

These worlds are basically restored based on the fragments and historical backgrounds experienced by the expedition members in the past.

Of course, there are also some of them made up by the programmer's brain.

This course made Fang Chang and the others very excited, because it was not so much a practical class, but actually not much different from a VR game.

And, even more realistic!

So much so that these different actual combat locations were affectionately called copies by Fang Chang, and their current behavior was undoubtedly the next one.

"We are about 8 kilometers away from the institute in a straight line, and we will be attacked by elves during this period, so time is very urgent, everyone hurry."

Ye Chenxi glanced at the map and said quickly.

As for why you don't just fly over, of course it's because it's more dangerous in the sky.

At this moment, Ye Chenxi's sonic dragon, Elena's coo, and Jiang Xiaofan's Bibi bird were fighting with the long-winged gulls and large-billed gulls that flew by from time to time in the sky, in case they attacked from the sky.

After all, in this empty city, the goal of Ye Chenxi and the others was too big.

The sonic dragon turned into a purple phantom, and as the dragon's claws danced, the large-billed gulls turned into white light and dissipated.

The combat skills learned from the fast dragon are of great use at this moment.

In addition, water spirits are also constantly emerging from the seawater, attacking them one after another.

Stinger jellyfish, giant claw crab, king goldfish, toothfish, megalodon......

Fortunately, Menas' defense is very strong, and the water circulation is always around them, so the other elves can just focus on fighting off the elves.

The group ran wildly on the water for 10 minutes, and their physical strength was a little unable to keep up.

At this time, the waves in front of them surged, and then an orange-red crab with a large and small pincer stopped in front of Ye Chenxi and them.

Elite mid-level giant claw crabs!

The blades of the green vine snake flew in front of it, and the grass whirlwind condensed almost instantaneously, and it quickly attacked the giant pincer crab.

While! While! While!

The blade rubbed out the sparks, and a few hundred marks appeared on the carapace of the giant pincer crab, but it did not suffer substantial damage.

Instead, the guy became irritable, and a thick and turbulent water gun squirted at the green vine snake.

"Sugar Candy~"

The green vine snake sighed.

If it were in the real world, it wouldn't even pay attention to an elf of this level, and a random leaf storm would blow it away.

But at this moment, it has become a mini-boss that has to be dealt with seriously.

Because in the virtual world, the energy level in its body is limited to the level of the peak of the entry level, and it is unable to fully release the powerful move of the Flying Leaf Storm.

At this time, an ice-blue freezing ray hit the giant pincer crab, and it was Bai Mei's white sea lion who struck.

A layer of frost quickly appeared on the surface of the pincers of the giant claw crab, and the surrounding water flow was also quickly frozen, and the frost spread rapidly, briefly freezing the giant claw crab.

The moon elf's round pupils condensed slightly, and the evil energy between the teeth surged, and it had already rushed in front of the giant pincer crab, and used it to bite without hesitation.

And then...... It felt like its teeth were about to break.

The giant claw crab broke through the ice, and the giant pincers as hard as steel lit up with a white light, and used the shell blade on the moon elf.

The Moon Elf leaped high and easily dodged the fatal blow.

This giant pincer crab is obviously attacking and defending high, but it reacts slowly, and it is a relatively dull elf, although the moves released are difficult to pose any threat to Ye Chenxi and them, but it is really annoying to stop in front of them.

Normally, there is no problem in slowly grinding this giant claw crab to death, but now their task is to save people, time is pressing, and every second counts!

"Fang Chang, senior sister, Jiang Xiaofan, you stay here, let's go save people."

Ye Chenxi commanded.

Jiang Xiaofan's Bibi Bird is responsible for dealing with the elves in the air, the senior sister's Huayang sea lion can manipulate the water current, so that Ye Chenxi will not fall directly into the sea water after leaving, and the white sea lion and the moon elf can barely entangle this giant pincer crab with a single attack method.

The combination of these three should be able to handle this giant claw crab.

"Good!"

"Leave it to us!"

The three of them responded in unison, and after a few days of cooperation, a basic tacit understanding has been formed between the team.

Even if Ye Chenxi didn't say it just now, they would take the initiative to bring it up.

"Mina~"

Menas hummed softly, and the beautiful figure leaped through the water, and then a violent vortex suddenly formed, directly scattering the nearby elves.

The sonic dragon and goo in the sky were performing Dragon Wave and Air Slash at the same time, and two powerful special attacks bombarded the water in front of Ye Chenxi.

It was like a missile exploding on the surface of the sea, and the strong energy shock directly cleared the sea water in front of Ye Chenxi, and even made the ground submerged by the sea water resurface.

Ye Chenxi and Elena continued to run towards the Blue Whale Research Institute......

After 30 minutes.

The two of them ran out of breath to a three-story building, and there was a huge blue whale sculpture at the door, and most of the body of the blue whale sculpture had been submerged by the sea.

"Here!"

Seeing their arrival, two researchers beckoned through the window.

Then the sonic dragon's wings flapped suddenly, and with a slight wave of blood-red claws, the window was directly shattered.

The two researchers were just about to open the window for the Sonic Dragon......

After breaking through the window, the sonic dragon carried the two researchers to Ye Chenxi's side.

Ye Chenxi glanced at his watch.

There is still 1 hour left in the mission, and now take them to the designated location, and their mission will be considered a success.

In terms of time, it is definitely in time, but Ye Chenxi always has an ominous premonition.

"Isn't there going to be another goalkeeper boss?"

Ye Chenxi said casually.

The green vine snake beside him was stunned for a moment, and then glared at Ye Chenxi.

Your crow's beak is accurate, don't you know?

Sure enough, a deafening roar suddenly sounded in their ears, and a column of water dozens of meters high rose into the sky, and then a behemoth more than ten meters long appeared in the seawater, setting off stormy waves behind it.

"I'll go, get close to the gym-level tyrannosaurus!"

He can't be blamed for that! It's just that he thinks that the actual combat test can't be so simple.

The red eyes of the Tyrannosaurus were fixed on the two researchers, full of ferocity and tyranny.

Target...... It's clear.

It should be the setting of this virtual world, and after saving the researchers, you have to take them to escape from the mouth of the ferocious tyrannosaurus.

The Tyrannosaurus spewed strong water from the sides of its body, and from its mouth it spewed out fiery flames, as if it was about to destroy everything around it.

The sonic dragon swooped down, picked up Ye Chenxi, and was about to pick up Elena who was a little farther away, when a huge water gun ran directly across the center of the two.

Elena hurriedly hid in a nearby building.

In actual combat, the most important thing for a trainer is to ensure their own safety and try not to drag the elves back.

A dazzling white light condensed from the Tyrannosaurus's mouth, and a suffocating terrifying energy emanated from its surroundings.

Destroy the Dead Light!

Rumble!

The white light blasted through, and the reinforced concrete exploded directly, and the entire research institute collapsed, leaving Elena lying on the ground in embarrassment, trapped in the ruins.

She was hiding well, but she didn't expect this tyrannosaurus to be so irritable and directly blew up the research institute.

"Roar!"

Under the amplification of Ye Chenxi's waveguide, the sonic dragon resonated with the wind, condensed all its energy, and performed a storm move.

In an instant, the wind raged around the Tyrannosaurus, and countless blades swarmed towards the Tyrannosaurus.

But the scales of the Tyrannosaurus were as hard as iron, and the Split Blade could not damage it at all, and could only briefly restrain it for a few seconds.

After the tyrannosaurus broke free from the storm, it became even more ferocious, and there seemed to be flames burning in its pupils, and it quickly swam towards Ye Chenxi.

The huge tail swirled out a high-speed stream of water, smashing it into the sonic dragon in mid-air.

Water flow tail.

"Goo!"

Goo condensed a translucent barrier, but it was shattered in an instant, and Menas's several defenses only lasted for more than a dozen seconds before they were shattered by the tyrannical carp's furious attack.

"Hypnosis!"

At this time, an invisible energy suddenly surrounded the tyrannosaurus. The tyrannosaurus's eyes closed heavily, and its huge body collapsed into the water, raising huge waves.

Although the physical fitness of the tyrannosaurus is very strong, its mental power is relatively weak, and without paying attention, it was successfully hypnotized by Googu!

"In this way, Ah Ye should be able to complete the task!"

Trapped in the ruins, Elena thought silently.

Just asked Goo to use the instruction of hypnotism, and she gave herself a score of 10!

At this time, she saw a purple figure rapidly approaching her!

"Ah Ye, leave me alone."

Elena shouted, but her voice was still too soft due to the rolling waves around her, so she waved her hand vigorously.

It means that Ye Chenxi does not use it to save himself, and it is important to complete the task.

Anyway, this is a virtual world, as long as you bring the researcher to the designated place, the mission is completed.

You can also attract the attention of the tyrannosaurus and drag it out for a while.

However, Ye Chenxi's footsteps did not stop.

The turquoise blade sliced through the gravel, and the two rattan whips of the green vine snake grabbed Elena directly, and then suddenly pulled her onto the back of the sonic dragon.

Elena looked at Ye Chenxi blankly.

Why...... Coming back?

By this time, the tyrannosaurus had awakened from hypnosis, and the intense light of destruction and death flew towards them again.

The sonic dragon dodged quickly and flew quickly towards its final destination.

However, because he had to avoid the attack of the tyrannosaurus and ensure the safety of several people at all times, as well as avoid other flying elves, it was a bit difficult.

When the tyrannosaurus once again spit out the destructive death light, Ye Chenxi saw that the time on the light screen had become 00:00:00.

The time in front of him suddenly became dark, and Ye Chenxi opened his eyes and found that he had returned to the real world.

The task failed.

Coming out of the battle cabin, there was a gray-haired woman standing in front of them, who was none other than the instructor of the actual combat class, Shen Cangyue.

There was a moment of silence.

The other three were a little regretful, and in the end they still didn't shoot the giant claw crab, while Elena looked at Ye Chenxi with complicated eyes.

If you don't save yourself, there is a high probability that this mission can be completed.

After all, after the sonic dragon opened the distance, it would be difficult for the tyrannosaurus to catch up.

"You ...... this time"

Shen Cangyue paused. Said slowly:

"Well done."

Everyone was a little surprised, Instructor Shen in the actual combat class was notoriously strict, and it was extremely difficult to get a good sentence from her mouth, let alone in the case of a failed mission.

"Especially you."

Shen Cangyue gestured slightly to Ye Chenxi, and what appeared on the light screen behind her was the picture of Ye Chenxi choosing to go back to save her after finding Elena trapped.

"Simulation with virtual devices is great, but it has one of the biggest drawbacks. That's because it's virtual, so it's gradually becoming indifferent to life! Some of the students in previous classes chose to sacrifice themselves and their peers in order to complete the task. ”

"In the end, when I went to the battlefield, I subconsciously adopted this method."

"Cultivating you is not for you to sacrifice!"

Shen Cangyue said heavily.

"Good thing you didn't."

"Treat every virtual presentation as a real battle, so you don't panic when it's actually going to work."

Everyone woke up like a dream, and they did treat the actual combat class as a game before, so they were fearless.

This kind of mentality is unacceptable.

After all, in reality, can they really bear the consequences?

————————————————

"Ah Ye, let's go eat together!"

After class, Elena invited.

"Good!"

The two walked on the straight road, surrounded by lush pine trees, dappled shadows falling on the ground.

The atmosphere was quiet.

Elena suddenly asked:

"Why did you save me?"

"Huh?"

Ye Chenxi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was talking about the previous actual combat class.

"This is a virtual world, not a real battle, and I won't really die. As long as you take those two researchers and the mission is complete, why are you here to save me? ”

After saying that, Elena felt that her face was red and hot, but she unconsciously remembered the figure that resolutely rushed towards her when she got it.

"It's similar to what Instructor Shen said, of course you are much more important than completing the task."

Ye Chenxi said with a face full of course.

And you're a general of my squad, of course I'm going to cover you~

"Sugar Candy ......"

The green vine snake on the side sighed silently, unable to tell whether it was joy or sadness in his heart.
