Estella duck sits on a stone, surrounded by splashing water and rushing water.
"... Discrete teleportation? You are separated from Aron." Estella stood up from the slippery stone covered with water, looked around, and found that she was standing in the middle of a fast-flowing river, with a protruding
on the rocks.
This is not very friendly to her already small body.
"This body is not powerful enough to escape directly on its own... What should I do? Aaron should be able to directly sense me and establish a spiritual connection with me, but he has not done so now, which means he does not intend to care.
I, alas, am so willful, I can only find a way to go back to find him by myself." After Estella waited for a while, she roughly analyzed what Aaron was thinking.
I just thought she would be fine so I didn't bother paying attention.
Well, with Aaron's character, if he were Estella's true form, he would definitely be happy to have such a boss regardless of his boss, but for Estella, who has more thoughts and humanity, she would be a little speechless.
Looking at the white water in front of her, Estella thought for a moment and opened her mouth.
The bright red tongue snaked out, its length even exceeding the length of Estela's little body.
The tongue, which was warm and covered with moist saliva, stretched out like a living tentacle, and then squirmed. From the depths of Estella's mouth, a string of small orange-red particles were expelled, slid out along the rows of the long tongue, and then fell into the
in water.
"Children, come back to pick me up when they grow up." After giving the order that was engraved into the foundation of life for the children, Estella retracted her tongue, wiped her mouth elegantly and reservedly, and Estela found a
I sat down in a corner where my butt would not feel any pain, and slowly waited for the response from the children who were spreading out.
…
"Five hybrid snakes, two of which need to be above silver. After defeating them, scan them with your watch to record them." Aaron looked at the first task on his watch and read it out.
"You need two silvers at the beginning. This assessment is really harsh." Xing Liuli said next to him.
"We also gave detailed illustrations of the monsters here, in case I am not used to the environment and types of monsters here." Aaron clicked on the name of the strangely colored monster in the mission, and a detailed introduction to "Hybrid Snake" popped up.
Although it was something Aaron had already seen on the official website of the Investigation Association, it would undoubtedly be of great help if Aaron was not familiar with it.
"Then let's not make the big shots above wait too long, and hurry up and complete the missions." Xing Liuli was eager to give it a try.
"Let's go." Aaron chose a direction at random and took Xing Liuli away from the place.
…
"The students have started, how is the situation of the main river management troops?" In a camp somewhere, in front of a large number of screens, there were several figures watching the performance of the students, and one of them asked.
"There is no problem for the time being, but around the afternoon of today, the main river inside and outside the horizon will begin to flood. There will be a few brief lulls in between. It is expected that the flooding will reach its peak at noon tomorrow." Someone immediately reported it.
"Then the students will have more things to do. But thanks to these children, the frontline management troops don't have to spend too much energy on those leaked low-risk monsters." Someone couldn't help but say with a smile.
The students' training and assessment area is located not far behind the highly flooded area of the main river, and monsters leaked from the flooded area will be dealt with by them.
Although the risk is not small, because the frontline troops cannot always pay attention to filtering the monster tide, the risk is still within the control range.
"I hope we can survive this flood smoothly," one woman said.
"If the thing under the water doesn't come out, there should be no problem. But it's unrealistic to expect luck. The layout must be done well. And the main river cannot withstand too many twists and turns, so it must be reduced as much as possible.
Let’s use the other party’s effective strength to strive to solve the problem of the main river as soon as possible.” A man said in a sharp tone.
In a tense atmosphere, the student assessment work and the management of the main river were operating in an orderly manner.
…
Somewhere in the forest wetland, a group of people were walking.
"Hey, it's a bit cold." Tong Zhenzhen touched her arm and a layer of goose bumps appeared. Her skin was relatively sensitive.
"It's indeed a bit too cold. It doesn't feel right." In the team, Jiang Yao couldn't help but frown and looked around warily, "The team should gather together a little more."
Buzz——
The silhouette of the plane flashed across the forest, but Jiang Yao didn't notice anything obviously wrong.
The tall male-looking doll next to Zhou Hao immediately stood up and alerted the surroundings.
After walking on alert for a long time but still not in danger, everyone except Jiang Yao could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Maybe it's just a problem with the special environment here?" Chen Rong said.
"Maybe." Jiang Yao was noncommittal.
After a moment of silence, Tong Guan looked at Jiang Yao frequently.
Jiang Yao felt uncomfortable being looked at and said, "Care, why do you keep looking at me?"
When asked by Jiang Yao, Tong Caring was still not very embarrassed, but when her companions looked over, she hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Xiaoyao... Actually, you don't have to bring it with you.
Ours.”
When Chen Rong and Zhou Hao heard this, their breathing couldn't help but stagnate.
Jiang Yao smiled casually and said: "I don't care what you say, we are all friends and we should help each other."
"But we can't help you." It was not Tong Caring who spoke here, but Chen Rong. In comparison, Chen Rong's tone was more direct.
"No way, the team must be of great help to me." Jiang Yao still didn't care.
"Xiaoyao, answer my question seriously. How much are the magic powers of your two puppets, Xiaoyao and Jishuan?"
"Just over ten thousand," Jiang Yao said vaguely.
"This is the data from early May." Chen Rong seriously exposed Jiang Yao's lie, "The small plane should have 20,000 magic points anyway, and the aircraft itself is not a puppet that consumes very much magic points. Its combat power is
It’s considered top-notch among the silver level, I’m right, right?” Chen Rong said.
Jiang Yao looked away and did not look at her.
"Both of the two dolls were already silver before May, and now the progress is even greater. With this kind of strength, the worst ranking you can really achieve is the top thirty or even the top twenty! But how high are you in May?
Fifty-seven!" Chen Rong said sharply.
"This is my reason."
"You spent too much time... taking us." Tong Zhen said, "The talent gap does exist. You, Xiaoyao, are much better than us... you should go to a higher place."
Zhou Hao opened his mouth next to him, wanting to say something, but he couldn't.
The atmosphere gradually became tense.
At this time, Jiang Yao suddenly turned his head and looked at the woods on one side: "There is something, be careful!"
sough!
A giant crab about two meters high, with a body as gray as black as mud, with a carapace on its back covered with dark green moss, and green tentacles on the moss that were constantly groping around.
"Marg crab! Get out of the way!" Jiang Yao said immediately. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and the plane appeared above the marsh crab in the blink of an eye. The barrage poured down, and part of it exploded on the marsh crab, but under the protection of the hard carapace
, the marsh crab did not suffer any damage. More barrages fell in front of the marsh crab, stopping its momentum.
"Squeak!" The marsh crab screamed sharply.
Chen Rong's lizard man and Zhou Hao's humanoid puppet immediately came forward. Each of them held the huge pair of pincers of the marsh crab and raised its body upwards.
A black shadow suddenly appeared. It was a black mechanical doll with no head and four limbs.
The puppet silk in Jiang Yao's hand flashed and was connected to the puppet. Two arms of the four-armed puppet held a knife and two arms held a cannon. The magic power of the knife-holding arms condensed and slashed at the lifted abdomen of the marsh crab, creating a hole.
When the gun is opened, hold the gun and insert the muzzle into it with both arms, and then fire.
boom!
The marsh crab's body was shaken, its eyes widened and it fell to the ground on the spot, ending its life.
But it's not over yet.
The marsh crab died, but the moss tentacles on its body did not die along with it. The yellow-green tentacles violently knocked back the three puppets, and then freed up a tentacle to open the harassing aircraft in the air.
However, this level of desperate struggle was not taken seriously by Jiang Yao.
The moss and the marsh crab live in symbiosis. Although it is very tough and its tentacles are difficult to wrap around, after the marsh crab dies, the fate of the unable to move moss is nothing more than waiting for death.
Just when she was about to turn the control machine up to harvest, a freezing cold air suddenly surged in, and the wet swamp ground under her feet was hardened with frost.
And mercilessly swept away everyone and the puppets present.
It's just that it's not that harsh on people, but it freezes the dolls mercilessly, depriving them of their right to move.
"What's going on?!" Sparks immediately appeared on Jiang Yao's body, which resolved the mild coldness on her body. At the same time, the changes in her body also extended to the doll.
The small plane that almost hit the ground flew close to the ground and then took off again. It turned around and spun its body to break free of the ice debris.
Sparks rose from Jiang Yao's body, and he immediately recognized an individual in his perception.
She looked up.
A white-haired nun.
she is……
Jiang Yao's pupils narrowed.
The white-haired nun raised her scythe, and her spinning posture was easily broken and she fell to the ground. Then, countless silk threads made of ice crystals caught up with the small plane in the sky, completely freezing it into ice cubes and falling to the ground, and even rolled.
A few laps.
"You are really short-sighted. Didn't you notice the obvious injuries on this crab?" The white-haired nun's tone was cold, disdainful, and arrogant. The coldness in her words once again approached Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao's circuit talent could not resist, and his muscles began to stiffen.
But the nun stopped and stopped Jiang Yao from freezing in place.
The white-haired nun slashed the ice sickle and smashed the moss into pieces.
"Alon?" Jiang Yao said with difficulty.
"Huh? Who are you?" As expected, the name caught the attention of the white-haired nun.
