The strongest talent

the next day.

At 6:30 in the morning, when the sky was just getting dark, the Guigui team had breakfast, packed up their tents and carried them behind their backs, and continued to push deeper into the Asura Desert. At almost the same time, the Yuanqing team was also ready to go, and the five of them each carried their packages. , looking far into the depths of the desert.

"Today's route is..." Yuan Qing raised his wrist and drew a horizontal straight line on the desert map: "If you follow this route, the chance of encountering a fifth-level mutant beast is very small. If you encounter a fifth-level mutant beast, you can kill it. But if you don’t kill, after arriving at this coordinate..."

With that said, Yuan Qing made a mark at the end of the straight line and said solemnly: "This is defined as the A coordinate. Call me when you reach the A coordinate and I will tell you the follow-up route."

Li Jinming and the four of them looked at each other in confusion—Brother Yuan means, don’t you want to march with us today?

Yuan Qing shook his head slightly and said nothing more.

This route is specially formulated based on the results of brain analysis and points to Qi Dongyang's training group, which has extremely strong overall strength; as long as Li Jinming and the others join Qi Dongyang's group, there is no need to worry about safety issues. As for Yuan Qing himself, he plans to continue deep into the desert - what happened yesterday was too abnormal. The sand wolves have become more intelligent and a large number of mutated beasts have migrated. They must be investigated clearly.

"Brother Yuan, be more careful yourself." Liang Yanqiu reminded carefully: "It doesn't matter if you have fewer points. We are already second. In the past training organized by the college, the best result of Class A was to enter the top ten. You are alone Don’t push too far, even if we no longer gain points, we can still submit our current scores to Teacher Tong.”

Li Jinming, Huang Dongdong, and Zhu Tonghai all looked at Yuan Qing with worried faces. Although they did not speak, their eyes expressed the same meaning as Liang Yanqiu.

"Don't worry." Yuan Qing waved his hand, turned around and walked deep into the desert. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said seriously: "If you encounter danger, send me the coordinates immediately, and I will rush as fast as possible. arrive."

Four people nodded at the same time: "Okay!"

Class A1 was a group and split up.

Yuan Qing trotted all the way, moving in a completely straight line and advancing very fast. Yellow sand was rolling along the way, and the desert wind was strong and weak. In just two hours, we had already advanced more than 100 kilometers. Like in the past, the route was mainly horizontal, slightly tilted towards the depths of the desert, mainly for exploration. The fourth-level mutant beast area on the outskirts of the desert.

It is now close to nine o'clock in the morning, and we have already arrived at the fifth-level mutant beast survival area. However, after running for so long, we did not encounter a single mutant beast along the way.

Raise your wrist and open the smart watch training software. All training groups are exactly the same as yesterday. No results have been uploaded yet, and no mutant beasts have been hunted.

Yuan Qing continued to push forward, this time no longer moving in a straight line, but in wavy lines, running and searching in a wide area; until around 11 o'clock in the morning, Yuan Qing paused in his steps, squatted down suddenly, and silver light flashed in the depths of his eyes—— Saw it!

More than 500 meters ahead, a fourth-level peak desert bull and two fourth-level sand wolves were walking together. They were more than 100 meters apart from each other. From time to time, they raised their heads and roared, as if communicating with each other; they moved deeper into the desert, and while walking, they shouted from time to time. Looking around, he seemed a little cautious.

"Blood Tiger Sword, take it out of its sheath!" Yuan Qing's mind moved, and the mental sword in his mind lit up slightly. The Blood Tiger Sword behind him flew out of its scabbard with a clang, drawing a black and red light in the air, tearing the air. The dim yellow windy sand then suddenly burrowed into the sand and moved forward quickly from the ground.

Swordsmanship!

Since I started practicing, I have tried to hunt fifth-level mutant beasts at night. With the success of "Skull Psychic Combination", the effective range of Yujian's attack has been greatly improved. The effective attack range used to be 300 meters, and now it has reached a thousand-meter range, killing Stronger than before.

The Blood Tiger Sword moved forward quickly under the sand, and the resistance formed by the sand grains was almost completely ignored. Like a cold poisonous snake, it suddenly came out from the belly of the desert bull, like a black light that appeared out of thin air, and stabbed into the beast with a hiss. The belly of the cow was violently twisted and shaken.

"Moo!" The barbarian bull was severely injured and fell to the ground almost instantly, rolling and struggling in the sand; its vitality passed quickly, and it kept roaring with great difficulty: "Moo, moo, oooo!"

In an instant, two fourth-level sand wolves not far away did not hesitate and immediately fled in different directions. After only running a few steps, they broke out at their fastest speed, rushed into the vast wind and sand, and ran out of Yuan Qing's perception range in the blink of an eye. With the naked eye, Life breath induction——all disappeared!

"What Guigui said is true. The brave sand wolf who is not afraid of death actually learned to escape." Yuan Qing frowned, took back the blood tiger sword, slowly walked to the body of the desert bull, pried open the skull and rummaged for a while. , did not find the beast crystal, shook his head slightly and said: "Zhi Nao, this level of intelligence is not much different from that of humans. It seems to have suddenly improved, which is very strange."

On the right arm, the six-pointed star pattern lit up slightly, a scanning ray enveloped the bull's head, and part of the brain was taken into the laboratory by the brain.

"Yuan Qing, the analysis results have come out." About ten seconds later, Manniu's brain was released by Zhi Nao. Zhi Nao's voice sounded deep in Yuan Qing's mind: "According to the analysis of the data stored in my database, this brain is The intelligence level of the barbarian bull has increased by about 30%, and the two escaped sand wolves should be about the same. This overall improvement in intelligence is very unusual. Based on the relevant data stored in the database, it can be inferred that there are two possibilities for this situation."

Yuan Qing's eyes darkened: "Which two types?"

"First, there is an invasion of foreign civilizations, and their power interferes with the intelligent evolution of mutant beasts." Zhi Nao's voice was somewhat solemn: "The second possibility is that there are partial remains or body fragments of Unit 1 in the Asura Desert, which radiates radiation The energy wave accelerates the intelligent evolution of mutant beasts."

No matter which situation it is, it needs to be verified in practice. If it is the latter, it is easy to find the fragments. If it is the latter... Yuan Qing shook his head, did not think about it anymore, and continued to move deeper into the desert.

————————

Deep in the desert, on the endless yellow sand, a desert fox with five tails runs and jumps forward. Its torso is about two meters tall, and with the tail behind it, the overall length exceeds 5 meters; while running, it Sometimes he looked back and looked in the distance, sometimes he looked in all directions. His two pointed brown ears stood up high and trembled slightly at a very high frequency, as if he was constantly listening to something.

Sand, sand, sand...

A strange sound of quicksand came from beneath the sand. The sand rose and fell in a crooked manner, as if it were sandworms sneaking on the desert surface.

"Wow, wow!" The fifth-level wind fox was stunned for a moment, then kicked its limbs to the ground and fled forward like crazy.

At this moment, a black and red sword shadow with a light blue color suddenly rushed out from the wind in the sand. The speed was extremely fast. It passed by the wind fox with a "chi" sound and cut out the outside of its right hind leg. A straight wound, the muscles suddenly turned outwards, and blood gushes out.

"Wow!" Fenghu screamed in pain, and immediately changed direction and ran away. The black sword suddenly turned in the air and cut through Fenghu's left forelimb again. The wound was neither shallow nor deep. The bone was just visible, cutting off one of its main limbs. artery, and cut off one of its tails, blood gushed out like spring water, and the flesh was dripping with blood.

The fifth-level mutant beast has a very strong recovery ability, and its aortic wound healed quickly. However, the flying sword followed closely and kept cutting on the wind fox, but it was not fatal. In just over half a minute, the desert wind fox was covered with cuts and bruises. A large amount of blood was lost, the recovery speed from injuries slowed down, and the running speed was even slower, not even comparable to some ordinary fourth-level mutant beasts.

"It's almost done now." Eight hundred meters behind, Yuan Qing followed closely, slowed down slightly, and took back the Blood Tiger Sword: "Zhi Nao, the wind and sand are too strong now, and my senses are also affected. Turn on life detection. , locking the breath of life of this wind fox, it has been heading deep into the desert just now, and now it changes direction... I want to see where it is going!"

Ahead, the extremely weak Desert Wind Fox kept changing directions, occasionally running to the outer reaches of the desert, and then continued to advance deeper into the desert.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...

Unknowingly, Yuan Qing has been chasing for more than an hour, and is already more than a hundred kilometers away from the place where he just encountered the Desert Wind Fox. The desert wind has never stopped, but has become stronger and stronger; while the Desert Wind Fox is running The direction has basically remained unchanged, roughly in an arc shape, and the speed has slowly begun to increase. It is obvious that the injury has almost recovered.

Sudden……

"Look, it's a fifth-level desert wind fox. It has a broken tail and is already injured!" A somewhat surprised young voice followed the howling desert wind and entered Yuan Qing's ears; at the same time, a dark blue sound The thunder beam fell from the sky and struck the Desert Wind Fox fiercely.

Bang!

The Desert Wind Fox's body froze slightly, its fur almost intact. Stimulated by the thunder and lightning, its speed suddenly surged, and it changed direction and fled with a clatter.

"It's him." Yuan Qing chased the Desert Wind Fox tightly, and at the same time quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, frowning slightly.

Unknowingly, he followed the Desert Wind Fox to the activity area of ​​the second group of the S3 elemental division; Yuan Qing's memory was particularly fresh - the leader of this group once threatened him at the beginning of the training, and he was Qu Zhendong's representative. Brother, my name is Kang Jiawei!

"Yuan Qing!" The five members of the second group of S3 class were also chasing the desert wind fox. Elemental spells continued to blast towards the desert wind fox. Kang Jiawei also saw the one-man "Assistant Yuan" through the wind and sand. , his eyes slowly narrowed, and a substantial murderous intention was instantly revealed in the depths of his pupils.

People have searched for him thousands of times, but he is in the yellow sand in the sky. He can't be found in the desert. Today, you can bring him to your doorstep!

"Li Kaiwei, Liu Qi, Zhao Mingyu, Tan Lei!" Kang Jiawei wore a dim yellow animal crystal ring on his right hand. He flicked it to the ground, and a yellow magic power blasted towards Yuan Qing along the sand at high speed, and he shouted loudly: "Defeat Yuan Qing first. The Desert Wind Fox is naturally ours. Don't hesitate, strike first - take action!"
