Chapter 97 - The Corpse Mountain Exploded
Chapter 97: The Corpse Mountain Exploded
Originally, if there hadn’t been an explosion, many examinees wouldn’t have noticed the corpse mountain. Not to mention the corpse mountain, the examinees had used all sorts of skills such as a hundred-meter-long mud wall, a hundred-meter-long mud slope, even fire walls and water tornadoes to deal with the beast tide.
However, after the huge explosion on Lin Tian’s side, the gazes of the other examinees naturally focused on them. More and more examinees gathered. They had their eyes on this corpse mountain.
One had to know that magical beasts represented tokens. Lin Tian’s corpse mountain was a hundred meters tall. Even if there were not many tokens, they should at least have a few hundred points, right? Of course, they knew that not every magical beast had a token, but they couldn’t resist the temptation of the corpse mountain.
“Looks like we’re being targeted!” Lin Tian felt the malice coming from all directions and smiled as he said. At the same time, he gathered energy cannons with both hands, and five or six shots killed more than a dozen magical beasts. Wang Xue, Zhang Wei, and the others also felt that these examinees were heading in their direction.
“Xiao Hua, it’s up to you. Use Corpse Devouring!” Lin Tian ordered. Corpse Devouring was a skill that Mandala Flower had evolved when it had synchronized to high-tier bronze-level. It could recover itself by devouring corpses continuously during a long battle.
Originally, Mandala Flower could still hold on. However, it looked like there would be a big battle soon. Moreover, as the explosion subsided, the surrounding magical beasts began to surround them again. A beast tide of more than 300,000 magical beasts was not something that could be dealt with so easily.
Even if they had close to 100,000 people, each of them would have to kill an average of three magical beasts. Moreover, many silver-level magical beasts were among them. Naturally, it was impossible to suppress the magical beast tide for the time being.
“Buzz!”
Mandala Flower shook its body and emitted a purple light. Following that, the entire corpse mountain began to emit white light.
“Thump, thump, thump, thump!”
Then, there was a sound that sounded like the beating of a heart. The green vines around them also emitted a green light. The moment the white light appeared, the corpse mountain began to shrink, and very quickly, it became smaller.
Then, along with the sound of chewing, new flower buds bloomed on the corpse mountain. These flower buds spewed pollen, covering an area of a hundred meters with a layer of purple light screen.
Lin Tian and the rest were in the light screen, hunting these magical beasts wantonly. Hundreds and thousands of examinees had already approached. Each of them was wearing an illusory armor, and the leaders of the group had already reached silver-level.
They all had their eyes on Lin Tian’s corpse mountain. After Wang Xue, Zhang Wei, and the rest had cleared out the magical beasts around them. They all stopped and looked at the people around them as if they were looking at a group of magical beasts.
“Hey, I see that you guys are quite tired from dealing with so many magical beasts. Why don’t we make a deal?”
The leader of the group, a silver-level armored envoy, walked forward and looked at Lin Tian and the rest with a smile. When he approached them, he saw that they were indeed bronze-level armored envoys, and he felt a lot more confident in his heart.
They had five or six silver-level armored envoys on their sides now, it was enough to threaten Lin Tian’s team. Wang Xue, Zhang Wei and the rest frowned slightly. They naturally knew what these examinees were thinking.
It was a trade, but in fact, it was a robbery. They had brought so many people just to show their confidence.
“What kind of trade?” Lin Tian said in a deep voice. Among their group, Lin Tian was the main force. Lin Tian naturally went forward.
However, he glanced at these examinees. They were mixed from many different regions. Some were from Celeste City Base, and some were from Earth Mountain Base. Whether it was a top base or a small base like theirs, there were all of them.
“It’s very simple. Let’s clean up the magical beasts around us. We should also split this corpse mountain in half. What do you think?”
The leader of the silver-level armored envoy was from the Southern Joint Base. He smiled calmly and acted as if he was a superior. It was as if he was talking about something that was reasonable. In his heart, he felt that Lin Tian would accept this suggestion.
After all, they had the confidence because they had the numbers.
“Alright, I agree to your conditions!”
After Lin Tian heard it, he agreed without any hesitation. Zhang Wei and Wang Xue were anxious. After all, they had fought hard for these magical beast corpses. Why would they give them to this group of people?
These people were the hungry wolves.
“Lin Tian (captain)!”
Although they all trusted Lin Tian, wasn’t this clearly bullying an honest person? How could they endure it? Meanwhile, Lin Tian turned his head to look at them, indicating for Zhang Wei and the others to calm down.
Zhang Wei, Wang Xue and the others didn’t flare up in the end.
“But I have a request. After all, the corpse mountain was painstakingly obtained by us. For you guys to come just like this, it’s not good for me to explain to my companions!”
“You guys should at least give us some tokens as compensation, right?”
Lin Tian looked at the few of them. Their backpacks were full. There should be many tokens inside. It should be no problem to give them some tokens as compensation.
The few silver-level armored envoys looked at each other, then at the examinees behind them. After they returned, they discussed again.
In the end, they agreed to Lin Tian’s request, but they didn’t give him much. They only gave him a token of less than 100 points. Then, a silver-level armored envoy walked up to Lin Tian with his backpack.
After all, they were all examinees. Although the act of snatching the token was very shameful, they were just adults and teenagers. They didn’t want to play tricks in this aspect.
“Alright, then we will…”
The silver-level armored envoy handed Lin Tian’s backpack. He wanted to say something, but before he could finish, a loud explosion interrupted him. Countless magical beast corpses flew in all directions.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the entire corpse mountain exploded. Countless vines shot up into the sky, blasting the corpses in all directions. The corpse mountain was over a hundred meters long. Just the corpses of the magical beasts alone numbered one to two thousand.
With such a huge number exploding at this moment, the corpses of the magical beasts rained down like a torrential downpour. At this moment, Lin Tian had already retreated quickly with his backpack.
“You…”
At this moment, the silver-level examinee knew that he had been deceived. Just as he was about to make his move, three to four bronze-ranked magical beasts charged at him. The eyes of these bronze-ranked magical beasts were all red.
And the magical beast corpses that had exploded earlier actually started to move miraculously at this moment. When they fell to the ground, their eyes also started to turn red as they charged towards these examinees.
One to two thousand magical beasts charging at over a thousand examinees at the same time. Although they couldn’t cause much damage, they could still delay these examinees for a short period of time.
“Rumble!”
Moreover, not far away, there was another group of magical beasts charging over. The magical beast tide had three hundred thousand. The magical beasts that were lacking here were quickly replenished. This group of students would be very busy.
