EN1MP 27




Chapter 27


"Awoo!..."

The three-headed hellhound that was running over was extremely fast. Its body was obviously a good chunk larger than the previous one. Its red eyes were full of anger, ferocity, and bloodthirstiness.

Especially when this hellhound saw the corpse of the three-headed dog lying on the ground not far away, its wrath hit max. Its red eyes, full of murderous intent, stared at Ye Wenya and Bai Xia! Its hair stood up, as if it was a steel wire that wanted to pierce Ye Wenya's group.

Just thinking with its toe, it was obvious that the hellhound in front of it must be the partner of the dead hellhound on the ground. The other party came here by smelling the scent of the partner. Seeing that its partner was dead, it naturally wanted to avenge it.

"Ah! Roar!..."

The three-headed hellhound roared together. The right head roared and swung to the side and a black shadow was thrown out by it. The hellhound roared and dashed toward Ye Wenya's group!

The IQ of the high-level mutated beast was about the same as that of humans. It picked Ye Wenya, the thinnest of the trio, at a glance. Even when it was a mutated beast, it picked the weakest persimmon.

"Roar!..."

Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!

It must tear the human in front of it to pieces and avenge its partner! The eyes of the three-headed hellhound were full of bloodthirstiness and madness.

Ye Wenya's face was cold. The hand that was originally stroking the paralysis potion on her waist directly touched the nearby bright red potion. In the transparent potion bottle, the red liquid seemed to be flowing magma, rolling back and forth in the bottle and bubbling with hot bubbles. It looked both weird and fierce.

As soon as the potion was taken out, the black cat squatting beside Ye Wenya seemed to have sensed something and immediately looked up at the potion in her hand with a serious look on the furry cat's face.

Holding the bottle of red high-level explosive potion in her hand, Ye Wenya stared at the three-headed hellhound in front of her. When she first saw this huge beast, she wanted to take it as a magic pet. Even if it was not a king with hoof, looking at its developed muscles and body, it should not be a problem to carry a magic plant of tens of thousands of pounds.

But just now, when the right side of the three-headed dog's head swung, Ye Wenya noticed that what was thrown out of the three-headed hellhound's mouth was actually half a corpse wearing military combat uniforms!

That was a young boy with a fourth-grade badge hanging on his chest!

Even after death, the terrified expression on its face couldn’t be dispelled. Instead, with the blood stains on his face, he looked even more hideous and terrifying.

At the same time, Bai Xia, Pan Mu and Black Cat saw clearly what fell out of the three-headed hellhound's mouth in the moonlight. Their pupils froze almost instantly.

"Hiss!——"

Bai Xia widened his eyes and took a breath.

In the school's actual combat assessment, students died every year due to various reasons. Even when the school was well prepared in advance, some accidents were difficult to avoid.

On average, the school had a mortality rate of about one in a thousand for each actual combat assessment. This was also the first lesson that many military academy students learn before going to the battlefield.

"That's senior Chen Bin from the Mecha Department! At the beginning of this semester, he came to our class with Teacher Fan to teach us how to operate mechas..." Pan Mu recognized him almost immediately.

Trembling with anger, Pan Mu gritted his teeth. The hilt of the laser sword in his hand creaked.

"Boom boom boom!"

The angry three-headed hellhound rushed over like a heavy mobile turret, knocking away all the tall ancient trees blocking the road ahead. The broken ancient tree pieces flew. Ye Wenya tilted her head and a palm-sized piece of wood with barbs brushed past her face!

While dodging, Ye Wenya seized the opportunity, raised her hand and waved. The potion bottle guided by mental power passed by like a sharp sword, hitting the head in the middle of the three-headed hellhound!

"Bang boom boom!——"

The high-level explosive flame potion seemed like hot oil in a frying pan as well as like burning magma. Obviously, a potion bottle the size of half a palm couldn’t hold much potion at all. There was no way to cover the huge body of the three-headed hellhound. However, the potion seemed to be a burning orange-red flame and it jumped up all of a sudden. In less than three breaths, the almost 4 meters tall three-headed hellhound opposite them was suddenly wrapped in flames.

"Awo, wooo..."

The high-temperature flames burned fiercely, and the three-headed hellhound roared in despair and pain. It struggled wildly with its limbs and jumped into the stream. But the flames that should have been extinguished in the water seemed to have encountered hot oil and burned more fiercely.

The smell of burning came from the direction of the stream. As time went by, the sound of the three-headed hellhound's struggle gradually slowed down.

Ye Wenya stood there, watching the struggling Level 7 mutated beast in the stream. Then it slid into the water little by little. It had no strength to struggle anymore, so she slowly retracted her gaze and walked toward the direction where the body had fallen before.

Bai Xia saw that Ye Wenya's face was slightly gloomy, and couldn't help but sigh: "The relationship between us and the mutated beasts is like this. It is either you die or I die. When we graduate from school and go to the battlefield, there will not only be mutated beasts, but also Zerg, and even enemies from other countries... It’s just a pity. Senior Chen Bin was such a good person..."

Chen Bin's half body was found in the bushes. Seeing that the broken part of the waist of the body was obviously bitten by the teeth of the mutated beast, Bai Xia and Pan Mu couldn't help but sighed again.

"Use the communicator to contact the instructor. Senior Chen Bin's body can't be thrown in the wilderness like this." Pan Mu turned on the military smart bracelet with a gloomy face and contacted the instructor.

All students signed a life and death contract before coming here, which mentioned that they were responsible for their own life and death during the exam, but the school was not a place that didn't care about face. If they could bring the remains of their students back to the Imperial Capital, they would not let their former students' bodies be exposed in the wilderness and used as food and fertilizer for other animals and plants on the planet K-0218.

"Beep! Beep!"

The instructor’s number was dialed on the communicator, but the military intelligent computer only sent a series of busy beeps.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Bai Xia leaned over and asked in confusion, "Is the signal bad, or is the instructor busy?"

"Not sure, maybe the signal is bad..."

Pan Mu shook his head, pondered for a moment, turned to look at Ye Wenya, "Classmate Ye, I don't think we can contact the instructor for a while. This place is not far from the instructor's rest camp. I want to take the remains of senior Chen Bin and rush to the rest camp overnight."

"So... are you going with us, or are you going to stay here?"

The planet K-0218 had high temperatures all year round and the hunted beasts would rot overnight. They didn't have any preservation tools. Pan Mu really couldn't watch the senior he knew rot beyond recognition tomorrow morning.

"I'll go with you." Ye Wenya glanced at the remains on the ground and sighed. Although she had only been on this planet for one day, she knew why Pan Mu wanted to travel through the night.

Everyone was in a depressed mood. Even the black cat squatting on the ground had a serious face.

After digging out the mutated beast crystal core of the three-headed hellhound, the three of them carried their packed luggage on their backs. Pan Mu wrapped Chen Bin's half-body with his jacket and tied it to his back. He opened the military intelligent brain, selected the best route, and rushed to the instructor's rest camp.

The rest camp set up in the examination hall was very large and could accommodate up to 50,000 people at the same time.

Ye Wenya looked at the red mark on the map and followed Pan Mu and Bai Xia, walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. At their current speed, it would take at least 4 hours to reach the rest camp.

Fortunately, the healing potion not only heal the injuries on the body, but also the fatigue of the body. She wasn’t worried that she couldn't hold on...

At the same time, on the other side.

Fang Shaoyuan and his group of four finally stopped. Fang Shaoyuan, Cao Mo, and Lu Kun had already transformed into their beast form when they escaped earlier. Su Wanqiu got off Fang Shaoyuan and handed the clothes of the three to them one by one. She eyed behind her in shock.

"That level 7 hellhound... looks like it didn't catch up." The Gale Silver Wolf, which was as tall as three adult men, turned back into human form and put on clothes. Fang Shaoyuan was a little out of breath.

"We ran so far... it should not be able to catch up."

Cao Mo also turned back into human form, panting more than Fang Shaoyuan. After all, the Gale Silver Wolf was known for its speed. On top of that, his body strength was high and he will soon advance to S-level. Even when the other party was carrying Su Wanqiu, he couldn't beat him.

"The hellhound's sense of smell is very sensitive. The speed of the level 7 mutated beast should be slightly faster than us... But it hasn't caught up for such a long time, so it must have given up on us." Lu Kun's physical strength was slightly better than Cao Mo. At this moment, his situation seemed to be the best except for Su Wanqiu.

"We have escaped now. Just don't know how Classmate Ye trio are doing..." Su Wanqiu took out a handkerchief from her arms to wipe the sweat from Fang Shaoyuan's forehead, and said with a worried face.

The girl had a pretty face. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, while her dark eyes were as charming as a clear spring, This made people feel softened at the sight of her.

Cao Mo frowned slightly, sneered, waved his hand and said indifferently: "Wanqiu... Ye Wenya is an SS spiritual power master. What is there for us to worry about her? If she wants to escape, she can escape. If she wants to fight against the level 7 mutated beast, that's her business... In the situation just now, we couldn’t protect ourselves, so how can we care about Ye Wenya trio? In such a tense practical assessment, she have the mood to raise a cat, so she must be doing well. We don't need to worry about them!"

"Wanqiu, you don't have to worry..."

Lu Kun smiled and nodded in response: "Just now when we were in the west, didn't the other party insist that the dead level 7 three-headed hellhound was killed by them? Since they have the ability to kill the three-headed hellhound, it should not be a problem to deal with another one."

Though Lu Kun had a grin on his face, everyone present could see the playfulness on his face.

Like Fang Shaoyuan and Cao Mo, Lu Kun didn't believe that Ye Wenya trio had the ability to kill the level 7 mutated beast.

A-level physique beastmen could deal with a level 5 mutated beast, while S-level physique beastmen could deal with a level 6 mutated beast. However, if one want to deal with a level 7 mutated beast with bare hands without high-tech weapons such as mecha battleships, it was impossible without a SS-level advanced physique.

Mental power and physique were two completely different concepts. Even if Ye Wenya had SS-level mental power and could exert mental power pressure, she could only delay the attack of the level 7 mutated beast, but couldn’t kill them. On the contrary, there was a 95% chance that she would be killed by the mutated beasts due to her weak body.

"Hehe, that's right. That level 7 hellhound didn't catch up must be because Ye Wenya trio had killed it, hahahahaha..."

Cao Mo laughed teasingly, deliberately opening the school points ranking, "Let me see if their current points ranking had risen? Tsk tsk tsk, that's 1,000 points! This time, they’ll earn a lot!"

Fang Shaoyuan reached out and held Su Wanqiu's little hand. Though he stood there without saying a word, the corner of his lips were slightly raised. There was also a teasing glint in his eyes. Just like Cao Mo and Lu Kun, he didn't believe that Ye Wenya had the ability to kill a level 7 mutated beast.

Su Wanqiu's eyes calmly wandered between Fang Shaoyuan and the other two's faces, taking in their disdainful expressions. Then she calmly retracted her gaze. In the shadow, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, but she quickly suppressed it.

A transparent light screen appeared in everyone's sight. However, below the total ranking of the 3019 practical assessment, a string of conspicuous names suddenly hurt the eyes of the few people!

--NO.7--Total score: 3210 (second-year ranking NO: 1)--Ye Wenya (second-year pharmacy department, NO: 020625, score: 1345)-- Pan Mu (second-year mecha department, NO: 020318, score: 964), Bai Xia (second-year mecha department, NO: 020373 score: 911)

“****!"

Cao Mo widened his eyes and stared at the light screen

Among them, Ye Wenya's group ranked 7th. The disbelief on their faces was almost tangible. Seeing the names of the trio, they felt something was quite wrong.

The level 7 three-headed hellhound just now was seen by them with their own eyes. Even though it was a distance away at that time, the beast obviously had no injuries on its body. It was not a weak level 7 beast that could be taken advantage of.

It was this big guy that made the four of them run away at sight! However, the other party actually killed it!

"Gululu..."

Cao Mo swallowed dryly. When he looked at the name Ye Wenya, he seemed to be looking at a madman.

After reading the ranking points, Cao Mo subconsciously looked up at Fang Shaoyuan, who had a livid face, and blurted out: "Damn! Ye Wenya, that woman, can even kill a level 7 mutated beast. Wouldn't she come to kill you because of what happened this morning?"

"Do you think this is a primitive society? Killing people is illegal..." Fang Shaoyuan’s expression was dark and he glared at Cao Mo fiercely, "Not to mention that we didn't bring the military intelligent brain this morning."

The military intelligent brain had special monitoring capabilities that other neuralink don't have. When Fang Shaoyuan and Su Wanqiu were intimate in the morning, they naturally didn't bring it. It just so happened that Ye Wenya got up too early and was about to wash up when she discovered their affairs and also didn't carry the intelligent neuralink device. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so sure that the Ye Family couldn't find out the specific situation at that time and Ye Family could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

Lu Kun stared at the names of Ye Wenya's group on the total score list and looked at the list of second-year students mixed in the long list of fourth-year students. His dark eyes were full of fear. "It's useless to think so much. If Ye Wenya wanted to retaliate against us, she would have taken action when we met just now. Based on her ability to deal with a level 7 mutated beast, we aren’t her opponents at all."

"Since the other party hasn't attacked us yet, we must be safe for the time being. After returning to school in half a month times, she will have no chance to attack... So during this period, we shouldn't provoke her." Lu Kun analyzed everything from beginning to end. His serious face was full of shock.

A D-level physique that could only deal with a level 1 hurricane rabbit alone to a high-level mental power beastman who could deal with a level 7 mutated beast! The span was really too big. If he hadn't seen the two level 7 three-headed hellhounds with his own eyes and saw her points soaring with his own eyes...

Lu Kun was unwilling to believe a bit that a person could suddenly change so much.

"That's right... We just need to avoid them during this period." Fang Shaoyuan narrowed his eyes and stated coldly, "I believe she dare not do anything to us?"

"I don't know how Ye Wenya trio killed that level 7 beast?" Cao Mo rubbed the corner of his mouth and lamented with some regret, "If we had known earlier, we should have watched from the side. Maybe we could have learned how they hunted beasts and earned more points..."

Although Ye Wenya had SS-level mental power, her physique was definitely not A-level!

As long a beastman had A-level physique, they would awaken successfully and have their own beast form. But for so many years, they have never seen Ye Wenya's beast form!

"Could it be that she not only hides her mental power level, but also hides her beast form?"

"If so, that’s too scary..." Cao Mo rubbed his chin and spat in a low voice.

"Shashasha..."

"Shashasha..."

Fang Shaoyuan, who was about to speak, suddenly moved his ears and vaguely felt a strange sound coming from behind him. The four people who had just escaped from the level 7 mutated beast were already extremely vigilant and immediately turned their heads to look behind them.

Silver moonlight fell from the shadows of the trees and five black shadows circled in the air, spreading their wings and flying toward them. At the same time, black beetles as big as a person were quickly climbing down from the trees...

"Damn! This is a low-level flying insect race - green-winged insects! And intermediate Zerg - striped black beetles!... Run! Run!" Cao Mo's face changed drastically and he growled.

"Damn, why are there Zerg here?!" Fang Shaoyuan growled and instantly turned into a beast. The huge silver wolf carried Su Wanqiu, who had regained her sense and turned pale, and ran away.

"Let's go back to the rest camp! There is an energy shield there that can block the attacks of these Zerg!" Lu Kun roared, also turned into a beast, and dashed forward quickly.
