It was already morning and they only have a couple of hours before the second stage of the mock exam ends.They did get attacked by a few elemental beasts but they were quickly and silently taken care off, without having to disturb the other member"s rest.
Majority of the beasts were attracted to the tied up young man, who was still in deep sleep and is dribbling saliva on the side of his mouth.
"Is this guy for real?" Xiao Yang couldn"t understand how the young man even slept so peacefully while almost getting killed by some beasts during the night.
Xiao Yang sighed before summoning his blade and slashed it against the rope, causing the young man to fall face flat onto the floor.
"Ah!" The young man quickly sat up and rubbed off the dirt that was stuck onto his face.
Xiao Yang looked at the young man then said, "I suggest you to quickly quicken you pace before the exam ends."
"Tch! I will remember this!" The young man exclaimed before turning around and headed away in a different direction.
"We should also get going now, otherwise we won"t have enough elemental cores."
The rest nodded in reply and quickly packed up the blankets.
"Ahhh! Someone help!" A familiar voice suddenly exploded out from the surrounding. It came from the same direction where that young man went.
-Sigh
Xiao Yang sighed and slowly headed to the direction of where the noise came from, the rest also followed behind.
When they got there they saw two elemental monsters chasing behind the young man, one of them was a large bee, about the size of a human head, and its fur looked to be made out of steel.
The other beast was a giant c.o.c.kroach about a meter in length, its sh.e.l.l was made out of black stone with some golden patterns on its surface.
"Cla.s.s King-Tier beasts?" Xiao Yang muttered in confusion, but the others were confused about Xiao Yang"s sudden sentence.
They could all clearly detect that the two beasts had a life force of that of an Cla.s.s beast. They weren"t able to understand why Xiao Yang thought they were King-Tier, plus the array had ensured that there were no King Tier beasts in this forest, otherwise it would have already been teleported out of this area.
Xiao Yang was completely sure that the two beasts were in fact King-Tier, thanks to the help of his Divine Eyes.
"It seems the array only filters the elemental beasts based on their life-force readings." Xiao Yang nodded in understanding the situation.
After a while, the young man seems to have started to get exhausted and the two beasts were already closing into him.
"Please help me!" The young man noticed their present and desperately pleaded form their support.
Dong Zhou and Fang Qiong looked at Xiao Yang who didn"t seem to want to help at any minute, so the two took the initiative and charged towards the two beasts with their elemental weapons summoned.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them were in front of the beasts, Fang Qiong quickly impale the spear into the smooth stone sh.e.l.l of the giant c.o.c.kroach while spinning the spear to create the effect of a drill.
The spear quickly made a contract with the surface of the stone sh.e.l.l and started to drill a large hole behind the back of the giant c.o.c.kroach.
Bits of dust flew in every direction then followed by a slimy purplish liquid which started to ooze out from the beast and quickly got tossed into the air by the force of the drill.
At the same time, Dong Zhou"s sword slashed across the hard steel plated body of the gigantic bee.
-Ching!
The sword cut into the defense of the beast, causing bright sparks to fire out.
Almost instantly the body of the bee was cut into two halves. Though it didn"t come as a since Dong Zhou"s sword was an Cla.s.s King-Tier elemental weapon, there won"t be a difference between cutting a block of steel and cutting a block of tofu.
It did however took a large bite at their mana since their fitness is not enough to wield the weapons and so they had to borrow the necessary power by exchanging it with their mana. This is especially true for Dong Zhou since his fitness is only that of a C-Cla.s.s mage while he was using an Cla.s.s King Tier weapon.
The too of them became excited, satisfied by the fact that they are quickly slain the two beasts in one go without having to waste much of their mana reserves, but then there face changed from an exciting face to a dumbfounded one.
Qian Fei quickly notice their expression and so she asked why, but the two still remained silent. Xiao Yang however already knows the answer to their sudden change of face.
While the two were still pondering over the elemental cores that they just obtained, the young man was busy panting out of breath.
Xiao Yang and Qian Fei slowly walked towards them, but then his face suddenly turned grim, "Not good!"
"Everyone take cover!" As soon as Xiao Yang shouted that, he formed a ball of condensed wind and fired it toward the young man.
The attack hit the young man"s fluffy stomach, quickly sending him into a tree behind.
-Bleigh!
The young man who just got violently attacked by Xiao Yang"s elemental power coughed out a mouthful of blood.
The rest quickly took heeded Xiao Yang"s command and took cover behind the nearby trees. Xiao Yang himself also quickly took a few steps back.
