The people behind didn't dare to get too close, and in a moment, the girl disappeared from sight.
"She definitely didn't go far, search her!" the squad leader roared.
The eagles were right above them; their actions had definitely been recorded. So many mages capturing a woman—not only was chasing and intercepting her utterly useless, but they also suffered so many hidden losses.
If I can't win her over, my plans to get a permanent position will be ruined!
the other side.
A hidden cave. The girl slid down the edge, chuckling, "A bunch of fools, drink my foot bath water!"
Clever as she is, she had prepared a backup plan before she arrived: a specially customized all-terrain assault tool.
Regardless of whether the path is to earth or rocks, one can quickly create a passage and escape with ease.
This is my escape route!
Summoning her magical artifact, the girl was full of energy and didn't mind the mess at all, digging a hole like a giant mole.
She didn't know how long she had been working. Wiping away her sweat, she rubbed her back, ready to rest for a while, when a strange voice sounded softly:
"Your magic tool is pretty useful."
Ah!
The girl was so frightened that her hair stood on end.
Before she could react, her legs and arms were suddenly tightened, and she was abruptly suspended in mid-air, the immense force pulling her into a "T" shape.
A blond man walked up to her, stroking his chin as he looked her up and down.
"Let me go!" The girl struggled, but the ropes were tied too tightly, and to make matters worse, the cold air was seeping into her body, freezing her so much that she couldn't draw the star map anymore.
Xu Fang laughed and said, "You dare to come alone? Don't you think you're taking us all too seriously?"
The girl forced a smile: "Little brother, I don't understand what you're saying..."
"Don't understand?" Xu Fang smiled even more brightly than her, and lightly snapped his fingers, tightening the colorless chains binding the girl.
It even coiled around her like a snake, gradually increasing the force...
"Stop! I give up!" The girl finally couldn't hold back anymore and decisively admitted defeat before Xu Fang could do anything more outrageous.
"Smart!" Xu Fang said with a smile, loosening the chain on his right hand.
The girl snorted coldly, took out a badge from her pocket, and reluctantly handed it forward: "Take it!"
Losing this badge would most likely mean missing out on first place. Thinking back to the boast she'd made to her father, she felt a surge of resentment.
But after a long time, the other party did not make a move.
What, did you steal my things and then try to play cat and mouse with me, killing me and destroying my spirit at the same time?
He looked up, annoyed, and met Xu Fang's strange gaze: "Are you a contestant?"
"You know perfectly well what I'm asking!" the girl scoffed.
Xu Fang's gaze became even stranger, and he raised the corners of his mouth, barely managing to suppress a laugh: "You might not believe it if I told you... and neither would I."
"Huh?" The girl blinked, looking completely bewildered.
"I mean, I'm a contestant too." Xu Fang hadn't expected such a big misunderstanding. Looking at the girl whose mind had completely blanked out, he didn't know whether to comfort her or laugh at her loudly.
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Xu Fang broke the ice chains.
Because it's a survival assessment, there's no competitive or hostile relationship between the trainees. Some might try to sabotage others to improve their ranking, but Xu Fang wouldn't.
"You're so rude."
The girl rubbed her wrists vigorously, and only after feeling the chill lessened did she extend her hand again: "Let's get acquainted, my name is Jiang Shaoxu."
"Xu Fang."
Xu Fang couldn't help but take a second look. This mature-looking girl was Jiang Shaoxu, and she was indeed very attractive!
"How did you manage to evade my senses?" Jiang Shaoxu asked, completely baffled. "I am a mind-based mage, and my senses are far beyond those of ordinary people."
"When you are calm, you will feel cooler."
"what?"
Xu Fang casually waved his hand, and a chilling aura adhered to Jiang Shaoxu's body. Jiang Shaoxu shivered, feeling so cold that she lost all emotion and instantly switched to a sage mode of being without desire or wants.
This is his latest little skill, capable of blocking the senses of most demons. It requires extremely high control over the stars; other ice mages can only admire it from afar, as trying to learn it would likely result in them being frozen into ice sculptures.
Jiang Shaoxu: "This works???"
Xu Fang shrugged. "You've experienced it yourself."
“Since it’s a misunderstanding, then we…” Before Xu could finish speaking, a cacophony of footsteps suddenly came from above.
"Oh no, they've found this place!" Jiang Shaoxu's pretty face changed: "I haven't dug my escape tunnel yet!"
"Hurry up and dig! I'll hold it up from the front!"
Xu Fang wished he could stomp on Jiang Shaoxu's pert buttocks. Damn it, I was having a good time in the cave, and you, this big girl, have ruined everything.
Jiang Shaoxu was in the wrong and didn't dare to argue, so he picked up the magic tools and started working.
Xu Fang stood guard at the cave entrance: "Lightless Sea Shield!"
The dark, deep shield was torn into a curtain by Xu Fang, sealing the entrance to the cave firmly.
Almost as soon as he was ready to defend, a torrent of water rushed in and slammed heavily against the Dark Shield.
The lightless sea shield remained completely still, swallowing the water flow without a ripple.
Those above figured that the people below had lost the ability to resist, so they sent two team members down.
however.
"Holy crap, what is this?!"
"What?! Let me go! I don't want to be like this!"
Colorless ice chains suspended them in a rather undignified posture, one in front and one behind, completely sealing the entrance to the cave.
The will-o'-the-wisps burned recklessly, draining their magical energy and eroding their ability to break free.
One trick is all you need. This trick is unethical, but it's really effective. Even Xu Fang himself would have to admit defeat if he encountered it.
With this shield in place, those outside hesitated to attack, and the assault was temporarily halted.
"Jiang Shaoxu, aren't you done yet?" Xu Fang shouted.
Jiang Shaoxu's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and she was panting heavily as she replied, "Almost done, just a little bit more, I'll be done soon!"
The magic tools are running at full power.
Once, again, and again.
Finally, at some point.
"I'm all better!" Jiang Shaoxu was overjoyed, but the next second, her joy turned into horror: "Xu Fang, look... water, so much water!"
Xu lowered his mind and looked back, only to see jets of water gushing out from where Jiang Shaoxu had dug. The water flow was so strong that it was impossible to block it.
"Damn it, you silly girl!"
Xu Fang cursed, "What kind of good person would dig a tunnel and end up with a river?!"
Chapter 56 She has to thank us!
at the same time.
Above the cave, the pursuers looked grim. Various star trails lit up around them, but they dared not throw them inside.
"Chen Sen, come here!" the squad leader said.
"Yes!"
Having cornered the people inside the cave, they naturally wouldn't give up so easily.
Chen Sen is a mid-level Shadow magic user. Shadow Escape and Giant Shadow Nail are his specialties, and his secondary magic is Earth magic, which allows him to defend himself in time even in emergencies.
"Shadow Escape - Invisibility!"
As the star trails passed, Chen Sen disappeared into the light and shadow, silently slipping into the cave.
The others stood ready, waiting for a fight to break out inside so they could swarm in and have a righteous brawl.
Rumble~~~~
"What's that sound?" a squad member asked, frowning.
"I heard it too."
"It sounds like it's coming from underground. How did they start fighting so quickly?"
The ground began to tremble slightly, and before everyone could react, their feet suddenly gave way and a large section of the ground sank in.
At the same time, the plants at the cave entrance were suddenly torn aside, and streams of water mixed with mud gushed out to everyone's astonishment!
"W-what the hell?"
The two team members, who were tied up, along with Chen Sen who had just gone down into the cave, were scrambled out and lay on the ground, retching.
—But nobody cared about them.
Their eyes were fixed blankly on the completely collapsed ground, their minds buzzing.
Where are they?
"They were buried alive inside..."
Seeing that someone might die, the pursuers all panicked.
They are just hunters, after the badges in the contestants' hands, not those vengeful ghosts from the Black Vatican!
the other side.
"Giggle, it's so cold!" Jiang Shaoxu shivered, and clear snot was running down her face.
"Bear with it!" Xu Fang said, as he was currently focusing all his attention on controlling ice magic, condensing it into an impenetrable ice sphere around him.
The ice hockey puck is drifting downstream along the river.
