"Battle formation. Up!" Ziyi shouted, leading Shen Zhu and the others back.
But by the time Ziyi and others arrived, Mao Qi had already disappeared into the dust.
"Ziyi, be careful!" Shen Zhu stopped his steps and warned uneasily.
"Quickly retreat!" Ziyi quickly stopped, looked at the looming sand vortex in front of her in shock, and shouted sternly.
"But, but..." Ziqi was shocked by the whirlpool in front of her, but when she thought that Mao Qi was most likely inside, she hesitated in her heart.
"Get out first. If you get sucked into the whirlpool, you won't have a chance to save him." Ziyi pulled Ziqi and quickly exited the whirlpool.
Mao Qi also didn't expect that he would be sucked into the sandstorm before he could see the true form of the spirit beast. He suddenly felt like the world was spinning, he couldn't keep his body steady, and he couldn't even open his eyes.
"Holy shit, what kind of monster is this?" Mao Qi waved the short knife in his hand with difficulty, cursing secretly in his heart.
Suddenly, the soles of his feet were empty, and he lost his center of gravity again, and his body kept falling. Mao Qi desperately mobilized the energy in his body, trying to condense an air shield. Since he had never really used an air shield, he didn't know how to use spiritual energy.
Condensing the Qi shield all relies on instinctive thoughts. After trying it a few times, I suddenly felt that the wind and sand around me were much lighter. I quickly opened my eyes and found that there was indeed a thin layer of spiritual Qi shield around my body.
Fortunately, he couldn't see. As soon as he opened his eyes, Mao Qi found that he was in a whirlpool. Although he had successfully condensed the air shield, he was constantly falling with the whirlpool.
Facing the fear of the unknown, Mao Qi forced himself to calm down and quickly remembered the introduction of this spiritual beast. The Weijia cultivator once said that there is a spiritual beast called Sand Scorpion in the desert, which activates elemental skills.
When the time comes, a whirlpool of sand can be formed, burying the prey, and sucking the essence and blood of the prey after it dies. At this time, Mao Qi knew the true meaning of learning but not mastering and suffering big losses. If he had just learned some ways to deal with it at that time, he would not have
As for being so passive.
Looking along the way, he could see the rolling sand, and he could even vaguely see two life-threatening pincers flashing with cold light. After discovering that the spirit beast was hiding at the bottom of the whirlpool, Mao Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he tried his best to activate the energy in his body and speed up.
The speed of his fall prepared him to die together with the spirit scorpion. The spirit scorpion at the bottom of the whirlpool opened its double clamps, and with its affinity for the sand, it locked the position of the prey and waited for the prey to come to the door. And in order to reduce the interference of the sand and soil, the spirit scorpion
Place the head in the center of the vortex to reduce the impact of sand on the head, but this also gives Mao Qi a chance.
Mao Qi mobilized the energy in his body without reservation, raising the power of the realm to the maximum. He exerted force on his feet and waist at the same time. As the energy in his body was consumed rapidly, he finally broke free from the shackles of the whirlpool. The short knife in his hand glowed with cold light.
It stabbed Ling Scorpion in the eye fiercely. Ling Scorpion never imagined that his tried and tested trick would actually become a fatal flaw. At this time, the short knife was less than half a meter away from his head, and it was too late to dodge.
The short knife sank deeply into the head of the spirit scorpion. The fear and unwillingness of death made the spirit scorpion keep waving its huge pliers, trying to break Mao Qi into pieces, but because the pliers were too long, it could not hurt Mao Qi.
Qi. With the passage of life, the spirit scorpion finally stopped dancing, and the sand vortex also stopped rotating, burying Mao Qi and the spirit scorpion inside.
In fact, what Mao Qi faced was a scorpion whose tail was bitten off by another fourth-level desert lizard in order to compete for a desert flower. You must know that the most deadly weapon of a desert scorpion is not its pincers, but its tail sting.
The group of cat people only took action when they found out that the spirit scorpion was seriously injured. They wanted to take advantage of it, but did not want to lose weight. The camel was bigger than the horse. The powerful attack of the spirit scorpion frightened their courage. They did not dare to fight back except running away.
Instead, it gave Mao Qi the opportunity to take advantage. Of course, this advantage came at the cost of blood.
Mao Qi was buried in the sand, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of lead. The energy in his body had long been exhausted. The sand and soil on his body pressed down on him and he couldn't move. The worst thing was that he couldn't breathe.
"What's happened now, I'm going to become a mummy." When his consciousness was lost, Mao Qi thought helplessly. His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and his chest seemed to be pressed by a huge stone. His head became dizzy, and he slowly lost consciousness.
.
I don’t know how long it took, but Mao Qi felt that the sand on his body became lighter and lighter. He seemed to be crying, but his eyelids were too heavy to open. Mao Qi murmured in his heart: "Is this death?
.”
"Wake up Mao Qi, don't scare me, you can't die." Ziqi threw herself on Mao Qi, crying heartbreakingly.
You Li and Shen Zhu looked at Zi Qi silently, feeling sad in their hearts.
Ziyi lowered her head and kept cleaning the sand and soil from Mao Qi's body. Under the cover of her long hair, tears fell in clusters from her face.
"You idiot, why don't you run away..." Ziqi said while crying.
"Cough...cough..." In confusion, Mao Qi saw his father's blurred face, his mother's crying, and the howling like a slaughtering pig in his ears.
"Mao Qi, you scared me to death." Ziqi suddenly felt Mao Qi's heartbeat and the coughing sound coming from her throat, and cried happily.
Everyone was also pleasantly surprised... Ziyi stopped what she was doing and sat aside, secretly wiping away her tears with both joy and disappointment.
After regaining his breath, Mao Qi took a deep breath and thought to himself: "It turns out that air is so important." As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ziqi looking at him with a pear-shaped expression. Mao Qi was most afraid of others.
Crying to myself, I wanted to speak to comfort me, but I didn't know what to say.
Suddenly thinking of the Spirit Scorpion, Mao Qi sat up and said anxiously: "Keep digging, that guy is down there." Regardless of his weakness, he pretended to be excited just to cover up his panic.
Upon hearing that the spirit beast was still down there, everyone took a few steps back in unison, staring at the place Mao Qi pointed to with fearful eyes.
"Hurry and dig! See if there are any beast soul beads." Mao Qi blushed anxiously and urged, not caring about breathing.
As for whether it was to urge them or to cover up his "crime", only Mao Qi himself knew best.
By the time everyone dug out the spirit scorpion, there was not much time left before the competition ended. Everyone hurriedly loaded the spirit scorpion and other monsters that could be retrieved onto the trailer, and hurried back.
"Captain, I want to see if there are any beast soul beads." Shen Zhu couldn't hold back his excitement as he dragged the trailer that was about to fall apart.
"I've seen farts. If I miss the time, I'll be at a huge loss." Mao Qi glared and said with hatred for iron.
"Mao Qi, have you been holding back your anger in the sand for a long time? You are so angry. You didn't get enough oil just now, so now you are venting your anger on me." Shen Zhu said with a smirk, but his pace accelerated a lot.
.
"Shenzhu, whose fault is Maoqi wiping off?" Youli, who was pushing the cart hard, asked loudly.
Mao Qi blushed, lowered his head, and did not dare to answer.
Ziqi acted as if she didn't hear anything, holding Ziyi's arm tightly and quickening her pace.
Ziyi smiled bitterly, how could she not have seen Mao Qi's evil deeds...
"Hey, hey... why are you dragging yourself so fast!" Shen Zhu suddenly accelerated, almost knocking You Li off his feet, and You Li yelled again.
"If you don't hurry up, the day lilies will be cold. Captain Maoqi, come on..." Shen Zhu said meaningfully, and then he dragged the car hard.
The dean Duihu and the hunter chief instructor Weijia stood on the stage, scanning the students under the stage, quietly waiting for the end of the hunter competition. Under the stage, groups of people were already gathered around
The exhausted hunters were lying in a mess on the school grounds. There were more or less prey piled next to each team of hunters, waiting anxiously but full of excitement for the results.
Long Zhi counted the number of 36 hunter squads, but never saw Mao Qi's team, and he couldn't help but worry. According to the information from the clan's scout team, some hunter teams encountered harassment from the cat clan and appeared.
Casualties. Since they could not confirm the accuracy of the news, many teachers also began to worry about their students. Hunting competitions are extremely dangerous, and if they really encounter people from the cat tribe, it may be very dangerous.
There is not much time left for the hunter competition. Most of the hunter teams have returned to the school grounds, but there are still some teams that have not returned. Many teachers are walking back and forth anxiously, looking into the distance from time to time.
Duihu and Weijia have also been paying attention to the situation of Class 36. They have not seen the Maoqi team for a long time, and they can't help but worry. Especially Duihu, although it is still unclear why the Maoqi realm has stagnated, but the eighteen meridians
The shock made him still confident about Mao Qi's future.
"Team Maoqi's level is too low. If they meet someone from the Cat Clan, they will definitely suffer. Damn it, the Cat Clan, as long as you relax your vigilance just a little bit, you can't get rid of it like fleas on your body." Duihu said anxiously.
, was thinking about how to report to the leader of the Zhenkun clan and teach the cat clan a lesson. "Maoqi, you must come back safely!"
Although Duihu was still absent-minded, the results of the hunter contest still had to be announced.
The hunter chief teacher Weijia finally said: "Dear teachers and students, we have received news that due to the cat people causing trouble in this hunting competition, some students have not returned yet. We have now applied to the clan and sent people to come.
I'm going to look for you, please take a head count of the number of people and report back quickly."
Although Duihu stood quietly on the stage, he could not calm down in his heart. He secretly said to himself: "If Mao Qi has a shortcoming, how can I explain it to the clan leader? Since the cat clan does not abide by the agreement, I will give these clowns a lesson."
It's time." While thinking, he actually forgot to control his aura, and a strong murderous aura suddenly enveloped the entire school, but disappeared in an instant.
Duihu took a deep breath and calmed down his mind. The hunting competition was about to end, and he could not break the rules because of some students who had not returned. Since the clan had taken action, he could wait until the hunter competition was over to think about it.
Late.
Weijia and Duihu looked at each other and were about to announce the end of the competition when they suddenly saw four or five guys in tattered clothes dragging a cart of monsters towards the direction of Class 36. With their eyesight, they could recognize each other at a glance.
After leaving Maoqi, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After waiting for a moment, Master Duihu said loudly: "The hunter competition is officially over. The scores of the teams that are late will be halved. The hunting statistics will be carried out below. Please ask each hunting team to count the monsters they killed in order according to their class.
Bring the beasts up." Perhaps because he was too worried or a little excited, seeing that Duihu was about to count the results before he finished speaking, Weijia quickly added: "With the consent of the academy, the monsters hunted this time,
It belongs to the hunting team and does not need to be handed over."
Hunter Class 1, the first group, hunted a total of 15 second-level monsters;
Hunter Class 1, the second group, hunted a total of 5 second-level monsters;
Hunter Class 1, the third group, hunted a total of 8 second-level monsters and 1 second-level beast soul bead.
After hearing the Beast Soul Bead, a burst of envy finally appeared in the peaceful school grounds.
"Only the third batch came on stage, and the beast soul beads appeared. It seems like a real fight between dragons and tigers." Shen Zhu said worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? We also have one, don't we?" Ziyi consoled her.
"I hope, if the spirit scorpion also has the beast soul bead, then our team will be the first." Shen Zhu said with expectation...
Hunter Class 1, the fourth group, hunted a total of 6 second-level monsters. The second group of Class 1, please return to your position.
…
Hunter Class 24, the fifth group, hunted a total of 19 monsters, including 15 first-level monsters. Please hunt the third group of Class 5 and return to their positions.
Those who can stay on the stage are the top three after statistical conversion. The first place on the stage now is 19 second-order monsters and 1 beast soul bead; the second place is 8 second-order monsters and 2nd-order monsters.
There are 1 first-level beast soul beads, 19 first-level monsters and 19 first-level monsters.
One first-order beast soul bead is equivalent to 10 second-order monster beasts; one second-order beast soul bead is equivalent to 10 third-order monster beasts; and for each level difference between monster beasts, the ratio is 1:5.
We are hunting Class 35, Group 3, and have hunted a total of 2 second-level monsters and 2 Beast Soul Orbs. Currently ranked first, please hunt Class 24, and the fifth group will return to their positions.
After hearing the results of the second group of Class 35, the admiration of the entire school was obviously mixed with the sounds of envy and contempt.
"That's okay!" "That's bullshit!"
"I only hunted two monster beasts and got two beast soul beads. This..." The members of the fifth team of Class 24 sighed and walked down the stage unwillingly.
There are eight people in the second group of Class 35. They don't care about the comments in the audience at this time, and they are looking proud at this time.
Luck is also strength...
The 3rd group of Hunter Class 36 hunted a total of 30 second-order monsters and 1 third-order monster. Although they could not go on stage, the number of hunted by the 3rd group of Hunter Class 36 was so high that after discussion by the referee team,
Make an exception and give the title of hunter.
"This, this is really irritating. I killed more than 30 animals, and there is a third-level one, but there is no Beast Soul Pearl. This is too nonsense." The audience started talking again.
"But this Class 36 is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...
As a member of Team 3 of Class 36, his expression did not change much. This made Duihu and Weijia a little more appreciative.
"Such a state of mind is really rare." Hunter Chief Weijia did not hesitate to praise him with words of praise.
In fact, it’s not that Team 3 of Class 36 could keep their composure, it was because everyone had already vented their anger on the way home. Now that they heard that they were given the title as an exception, they certainly felt much better.
Team 4 of Class 36. Mao Qi and others quickly dragged the hunted monsters to the ceremony stage. However, at this time, the clothes of Mao Qi's team aroused bursts of laughter. Especially Mao Qi, they only found out after they got to the ceremony stage.
My butt was almost leaking, and I was blushing and embarrassed.
The fourth group of Class 36 hunted a total of 18 second-level monsters, 1 third-level monster, 1 fourth-level spirit beast, and 1 second-level beast soul bead.
