Chapter 609: Did They Come From a Sports Team?
They originally planned to pull off a long-range attack and take down these two tanks no problem!
But who could have guessed it would turn out like this?
Everyone stared in horror as the beast-tank in the air was batted back and forth by the two bears with stone clubs!
Their heads followed the movement, turning left and right!
Σ(ﾟДﾟ；≡；ﾟдﾟ)
Their legs were trembling like little rubber bands!
Can he even survive this?!
Seeing that over two hundred Four-Armed Mandrills had already taken their stance, Wu Liang let out a sly grin!
Another "Take This!" launched out, instantly attracting seven or eight people to leap into the air to attack him!
Wu Liang showed no mercy—he swung his stone pillar in a single blow, hitting eight in a row!
"All of you, catch this!"
The mandrills howled excitedly, scrambling to grab the stone pillar and swing!
With dull thuds and miserable screams, several people were instantly smashed flying!
Among them, one hit so hard that a metal-element student vanished into thin air, leaving only a sparkling star in the sky!
Σ(#)*з*)=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ዽAh～=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞……⟡!
The remaining students were smoothly caught by the mandrill group!
But they were clearly inexperienced—after two or three hits, they sent several flying!
Xiong Er got anxious, swung his stone pillar, and smacked one mandrill right in the head, making it bleed profusely!
"Don't you know to hit softer? You knocked the ball away—what are we gonna play with now?"
That mandrill looked wronged but didn't dare raise a hand against Xiong Er!
By now, the students being batted around like baseballs in the air were all crying!
No! Don't hit softer!
Hit harder and give me a home run—I can take it! Just knock me flying!
That way, we won't have to suffer like this!
Some even envied the ones who got knocked away, shouting wildly!
"Harder! Didn't you eat? Hit me harder!"
"Knock me away! I'm begging you!"
But after Xiong Er's coaching, the mandrills quickly mastered the technique, having a blast!
(ꇴꇴ)
Wang Zhan and the others were stunned—this was the first time they'd heard of people begging to be hit harder while getting beaten!
Without any hesitation, they turned and ran, but with over two hundred mandrills and Wu Liang's "Take This!" ability, escaping was no easy task!
At that moment, the Mandrill King locked onto Xiang Zu, eyes gleaming!
This guy was so round and looked pretty bouncy!
"Roar wa!"
(Nobody else fights him—I'm taking him today!)
With that, he swung his stone pillar violently toward Xiang Zu!
Xiang Zu was losing his mind—he'd already been swollen from stings, and now he was being used as a baseball bat? Seriously?
Did I really look that easy to bully?
At the critical moment, Xiang Zu slammed his hand onto the stone pillar: "Collapse!"
The Mandrill King's stone pillar crumbled into pieces!
Xiang Zu sneered: "Hmph! Think I'm a pushover—"
"Boom!"
The first pillar shattered, but a second one followed immediately, smashing Xiang Zu flying!
You know what they say about fat being bouncy? This shot was a perfect arc!
Xiang Zu vomited a mouthful of blood!
[From Xiang Zu: Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Xiang Zu...]
He had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life!
By now, the two hundred plus mandrills had taken formation, and over forty people were joyfully playing baseball—though the screams were a bit loud.
Xiong Da and Xiong Er stepped back, sitting on stone pillars and munching sunflower seeds!
Wu Liang: "Aren't we being a bit too harsh?"
Xiong Er grinned: "Don't worry, I'm watching—they won't die!"
Just then, two to three hundred egg-sized hornets flew back!
Xiong Er: "Roar?"
(Finished helping your relatives?)
Old Platinum Hornet Queen: "Buzz buzz"
(Hee hee, all done!)
Xiong Er grinned, pulled out ten little ginseng roots, and handed them to the old queen!
"Roar roar~"
"Go give them some extra bounce and cushion!"
The old queen's eyes lit up at the little ginseng, she turned and gave a look!
Immediately, egg-sized hornets grabbed hexagonal honeycombs and brought them to Xiong Da and Xiong Er!
They were filled to the brim with honey—over a dozen in total!
"Buzz buzz~"
(Your little brothers offer this to our big brothers! A small token of respect! We're off!)
At that moment, Xiong Da and Xiong Er's expressions were identical—eyes shining, drooling uncontrollably!
"Obedient, huh! Go on, go on!"
The old queen led her swarm charging toward the baseball field!
Xiang Zu, still dazed from the beating, heard the buzzing and was filled with terror!
His swollen slit eyes met the old queen's blood-red gaze!
Ahhh!
Why is it these grandparents again?! Is there no end?!
Why do these mandrills and hornets all listen to that black bear?!
Hornet Queen: Buzz buzz!
(Little ones, anyone who didn't get their fill of stinging earlier, get them now! Revenge for every grievance!)
The hornets entered the field, demonstrating exactly what it meant to "find every gap to sting"!
They jabbed the flying students, swelling everyone up more and more like balls!
By now, the live stream chat was flooded with comments!
"Pfft hahaha! What kind of crazy tactic is this? Playing baseball is actually working?"
"Shocking! A group of mandrills and hornets gathered around and did such and such to the students—heart-wrenching to hear, tear-jerking to see!"
"Are these extras they hired somewhere? These mandrills must be beast-transformation spirit warriors in disguise, right?"
"First javelin throwing, now baseball? Did Nan Shen and the others go to a sports team for training during the half-year they vanished?"
Xing Da covered his face—this wasn't just about losing face, he'd lost his entire head!
This tank's operations were even more suffocating than Jiangnan's! Too brutal!
And what was with that platinum-level black bear spirit beast? His strongest point wasn't his combat power—it was his big brother vibe!
If that guy went into a spirit realm, Xiong Er's role would be far more than just a platinum-level beast!
Too fierce!
Right now, Wu Liang and Xiong Er sat on stone pillars eating honey, faces full of bliss!
"This is way too sweet, right?"
"Don't eat it all—leave some for Brother Nan, Sister Xue, and the others!"
Meanwhile, atop the stone pillar mountain, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao had finished their roast pig, and Xia Yao was still licking the grease off her fingers!
Jiangnan straddled Xiao Jiuwo's back. Zhong Yingxue was startled: "Xiao Nan? Where are you going?"
Jiangnan grinned: "To fulfill the little dragon girl's request. Ye Xingxuan is her sister, so I have to take good care of her!"
"She hasn't shown her face from start to finish—that won't do! I need to give her some proper teaching guidance!"
With that, Xiao Jiuwo took off, and Jiangnan flew out of sight!
Leaving Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao stunned in the wind!
Xia Yao: "I think Xiao Nan might have misunderstood something, didn't he? Is that what the little dragon girl meant by 'taking care'?"
Zhong Yingxue smiled: "Don't worry, Xiao Nan has always gotten full marks on reading comprehension in Chinese class since he was little!"
Xia Yao's face was full of horror—that was exactly the problem!
Full marks on reading comprehension meant he even considered things the author didn't intend, right?
Multi-layered analysis?
She suddenly felt worried for Ye Xingxuan!
...
In a dark, damp cave, Ye Xingxuan and He Jia crouched inside, nervously watching the entrance!
Outside the cave, thick shrubs and boulders blocked the view!
Faint screams of students came from the distance—their fate didn't need stating!
He Jia asked nervously: "Nan Shen can't find us, right?"
Ye Xingxuan said confidently: "Impossible! I've well concealed the footprints outside the cave and our scent!"
"Even if he's a god, there's no way he can find us hiding here!"
He Jia looked at Ye Xingxuan with admiration—Sister Xingxuan was so professional!
"Then what about the broken shrub branches you snapped along the way? Did you cover those?"
Ye Xingxuan frowned: "What's so important about that? No one would care about that, right?"
He Jia's eyes widened as she saw Jiangnan suddenly appear behind Ye Xingxuan, her little mouth agape, face turning pale!
Jiangnan: "Why isn't it important? The traces left by a spirit beast are different from those left by a human. Their body shapes are different. The broken branches outside are still fresh!"
"To a seasoned tracker, that's basically a road sign!"
Ye Xingxuan was stunned—there was such a thing?
Then her pretty face stiffened. Wait, that voice sounded way too familiar!
She whipped around to see Jiangnan holding a blood-drinking halberd, grinning brightly as he swung it down!
Ye Xingxuan: !!!
[From Ye Xingxuan: Resentment Value +1000!]
When did Nan Shen get here?!
Ahhh!
She quickly ducked, and the blood-drinking halberd slammed into the cave wall, a strand of black hair fluttering in the air!
Ye Xingxuan's face turned pale: "Nan Shen, are you serious?"
During the hundred-person team fight, he didn't go all out, but now he was pulling out the blood-drinking halberd against her?
This was going to be the death of her!
Jiangnan didn't care. He pulled out the halberd and swung it at Ye Xingxuan again and again, red streaks flashing through the air!
Ye Xingxuan could only dodge nimbly, but her clothes were still cut with several long slits!
Jiangnan grinned: "Of course! I'm a dedicated and responsible mentor!"
Ye Xingxuan panicked: "There are so many trainees out there—why are you bullying me?"
"I can't beat you, so I forfeit, alright?"
Jiangnan shrugged: "No can do. I'm here to honor my good brother's request!"
Ye Xingxuan was stunned: "What good brother's request?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Ye Xinghe said he couldn't make it, or else you'd break his legs!"
"When he heard I was coming to Jingdu Spirit Martial, he asked me to take good care of you!"
"Hehe! As a good brother's request, I couldn't refuse. This is the first time someone's asked me to do something, so I've got to do it right!"
Ye Xingxuan's face turned white with anger!
(๐ᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)
"You're something else, Ye Xinghe! What a good brother you are! Just you wait!"
"Nan Shen is going to take good care of me, huh? When you get home, I'll break every one of your legs!"
