Chapter 45: What Are You Trying to Prove?

“My name is Guan Yu. I hope we have the chance to cooperate tomorrow.” Seeing that the conversation wasn’t going anywhere, the long-haired man announced his name and left with his team.

Ling Yao watched his retreating figure and couldn’t help but say, “What was he here for? Why did he even announce his name? It’s not like we want to know him.”

“He came to show off; he’s got his eyes on us,” Lou Suo said, frowning in displeasure.

Wang Heng panicked, “What do you mean? He’s after us for our measly points?”

Ding Hui’s eyes hardened. “How about we start with him tomorrow?”

With their current point progress, they would definitely have to kill people if they wanted to get into the top three. Otherwise, they might not even get the minimum of 10,000 points per person.

“Don’t be careless. If he dares to be this arrogant, he must have something to back it up,” Lou Suo didn’t want the couple to underestimate their opponents.

After all, they had already suffered the consequences of underestimating someone once.

Hearing Lou Suo’s words, Wang Heng probably remembered what happened in the morning and stopped talking.

The night passed peacefully. The next morning, the leaderboard in the sky changed again.

Yesterday, team number twelve had been in first place, but today, number eight was in the lead.

“Did team number eight kill all night last night?” Wang Heng wondered.

Team number eight’s idea coincided with his, but unfortunately, his leader didn’t agree with his approach.

If they had killed all night, they should have rushed to the front by now.

“Probably. If they’re advancing this fast, team number twelve, who was in first place all along, won’t be able to stand it.” As soon as Ling Yao finished speaking, he noticed team number twelve’s points increasing rapidly.

But what they didn’t expect was that, in the next moment, team number eight, which was in first place, suddenly turned gray, dropping from first to last, behind their team number fifteen.

“What’s going on? Did team number twelve kill team number eight?” Wang Heng was shocked.

It was only just dawn, and many teams hadn’t even entered the forest yet. Now, everyone was attracted by the changes on the leaderboard.

“No, team number eight’s points are still there, and team number twelve’s points didn’t increase that much either,” Lou Suo said.

“Then what happened to them? Did they suddenly get wiped out?” Ding Hui asked.

Lou Suo guessed, “If they weren’t killed by someone, then they must have encountered a very powerful mutated species.”

Wang Heng swallowed hard. “What kind of mutated species can wipe out five people at once? And they’re all ability users!”

His pride in having two abilities yesterday had been diminished again and again, and now there was very little left.

“Let’s go into the forest and see,” Chu Xihen said.

At this time, Wang Heng and Ding Hui became timid. “Do you think those powerful mutated species will come to the outer areas today?”

“Don’t jinx it!” Ling Yao snapped.

But Wang Heng was right. After they entered the forest, they found that the mutated species were significantly harder to kill than yesterday, and the points they got after killing them were also doubled.

The green-furred wolves that were originally worth one point were now worth two, and the blue beetles that were worth two points had risen to four…

Although the points had increased, Wang Heng and the others felt uneasy, and they were a little absent-minded when killing mutated species.

“Want to die?” When Wang Heng was distracted, he was almost bitten by a small green-furred wolf. Chu Xihen in the back shot the green-furred wolf to death with an arrow.

“Be careful, these green-furred wolves are much more agile than yesterday.” After Ding Hui reminded him, she and Wang Heng killed mutated species back-to-back, so they could protect each other’s backs.

Chu Xihen and the other three stood a little further away, after all, he was a ranged shooter.

Lou Suo hadn’t used his abilities yet, because the mutated species here were very scattered, always jumping on them one by one, as if they were here to give them points.

Occasionally, when one jumped in front of him, he would just solve it with a dagger.

“Brother Chu, do these green-furred wolves look like the mutated creature that bit me before we came in? Are these the elite mutated species that the clown was talking about? I can’t even beat one. If we encounter a dangerous situation later, don’t leave me behind!” Ling Yao began to worry about his future.

Chu Xihen was speechless. He thought that at this time, Ling Yao would righteously say that if it was too dangerous, don’t worry about his life or death.

This kid knows how to play against the usual tropes.

However, it really wouldn’t work to continue like this. The situation was becoming more and more serious. Ling Yao not only couldn’t earn points, but also needed his teammates to protect him. Even if he and Lou Suo agreed not to leave him behind, Wang Heng and his wife wouldn’t agree.

“You can control the birds and beasts outside, have you ever tried to control these mutated species?” Chu Xihen suggested to Ling Yao.

Ling Yao’s eyes under the hood suddenly lit up. “That’s right, why didn’t I think of that? I’ll try it now!”

He focused on a green-furred wolf in front of him that was about to attack Wang Heng. After the skill was activated, his consciousness went to the green-furred wolf.

Then he controlled the green-furred wolf to jump back and bump into a blue beetle that had just emerged from the ground.

The beetle was caught off guard and was knocked several meters away.

Ling Yao was overjoyed, and then began to check the green-furred wolf’s abilities. Only then did he realize that this small green-furred wolf actually had abilities.

As he was studying, he suddenly felt a lot of similar auras coming from all directions. He looked around from the perspective of the green-furred wolf, but didn’t see anything.

But he had a bad feeling, especially knowing that this green-furred wolf had abilities, but they had never used them.

Thinking of this, he activated the green-furred wolf’s ability, which was a green, short poison arrow. The moment the ability was activated, he immediately withdrew his control over the green-furred wolf, and then shouted in the direction of Wang Heng and his wife, “Get out of the way!”

Wang Heng clearly saw a green-furred wolf flying towards him. Just as he was about to use his ability to resist, he found that it turned its head and knocked a beetle away. Just as he was surprised, he saw the green-furred wolf spinning in place, and dense small poison arrows flew out of its body while it was spinning.

But those poison arrows were not flying towards them, as if they were defending against other enemies.

It was at this time that he heard Ling Yao’s shout from behind.

He didn’t know why, but he instinctively pulled Ding Hui back quickly.

Then, dozens of green-furred wolves suddenly appeared where they were standing.

However, they were injured by the small poison arrows of the green-furred wolf controlled by Ling Yao as soon as they appeared.

Lou Suo took this opportunity to use the Instant Kill skill, directly taking away the entire group of green-furred wolves.

Wang Heng and Ding Hui mechanically turned their heads slowly to look at the three people behind them.

The couple had worked hard all morning, but it wasn’t as good as Ling Yao and Lou Suo each using a skill! ?

This was a little too hurtful.

Thinking of himself yesterday, who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, Wang Heng and his wife felt that their faces were swollen.

What were they trying to prove in front of these three monsters?
