The fifth day of the House Entrance Examination. Under Bai Ye’s guidance, Tang Yi had pulled himself together. He was no longer impatient. He rested when he needed to and did what he had to do, just like before, recovering his usual calm and confident demeanor.
Seeing Tang Yi like this, everyone was greatly relieved and happy. Tang Yi was the soul of the entire team. If their soul were to fall, the team would be utterly destroyed.
For Tang Yi to return to his former self was naturally the best thing that could have happened.
Today, the team of North District candidates led by Tang Yi was no longer moving as one. Instead, they had divided all the North District candidates into twenty five-person squads to act separately!
However, these twenty squads weren’t required to clash with candidates from the other Three Major Zones, nor did they need to risk challenging Demon Beasts. Their only job was reconnaissance. If they found anything, they were to immediately report it to Tang Yi, who would then handle it.
This strategy expanded their daily search area several times over and significantly increased their efficiency. Whether it was killing Demon Beasts or forcing back candidates from the Three Major Zones, their progress was much faster than in the previous days.
Now, the North District squads just had to report their discovered targets to Tang Yi through a special method. Tang Yi would then use his Flying Skill to reach the designated location and eliminate the target to complete the mission.
However, while they were faster, the probability of the North District candidates encountering danger had also greatly increased.
Normally, when they followed Tang Yi, he would handle any danger they faced, allowing them to stand by safely.
But while scouting, if the North District candidates ran into trouble, there was no one to save them. They had to rely on themselves. Failure to escape meant certain death; it was incredibly dangerous.
As a result, in just half a day, their efficiency had indeed skyrocketed, and they had acquired several times more Demon Beast Crystals than on previous days. But in the process, over a dozen North District candidates had suffered serious injuries. Five had even died at the hands of their enemies, never to return to the rendezvous point.
Still, even though the risk had increased, their situation was countless times better than before they had met Tang Yi. It was only after encountering him that things had become so easy for them.
Besides, how could there be no danger in the House Entrance Examination? If they simply hid under Tang Yi’s protection to complete their tasks, their achievements would be limited even if they managed to enter the West Mansion. Facing more danger and gaining more practical combat Experience now would only ignite their fighting spirit and make them stronger.
Therefore, facing the new arrangement from Bai Ye, none of the North District candidates complained. They diligently carried out the reconnaissance tasks he had assigned.
Just like that, with their efficiency greatly improved, a piece of good news arrived in the afternoon from one of the North District squads.
Someone had discovered the whereabouts of Tang Piaomiao and Tang Baijie to the east!
Hearing the news, Tang Yi immediately rushed toward the location.
In a certain area in the northeastern part of the Little Extreme Sacred Land, a fierce battle was underway. Several hundred candidates were furiously attacking a frog-like Demon Beast, gritting their teeth. The creature shrieked from time to time as it counterattacked.
The scene was like a living Purgatory. The candidates were surrounded by a sea of fire, with raging flames everywhere. Thick black smoke filled the air, shrouding the entire area in a hazy, tragic gloom.
The air itself carried a searing heat. And yet, as the flames burned on, the frog-like Demon Beast would occasionally open its massive maw and spit out terrifying tongues of fire, making the blaze even more intense. The battlefield was filled with soaring flames, an incredibly intimidating sight.
The battle had reached its climax. Enormous RUMBLING sounds were incessant, and Flames Filling the Sky danced wildly. Streaks of light formed from Energy shot out in all directions. From time to time, the piercing screams of candidates could be heard. These horrifying cries were terrifying enough; thankfully, it was day and not night. Otherwise, the screams alone would have probably scared many people to death.
But despite the horrific scene, despite the heart-stopping screams, and despite the terrifying ’frog Demon Beast’ that had already killed countless candidates, they showed no signs of giving up. They continued to besiege the creature with their lives on the line!
"Keep it up, everyone! This Demon Beast can’t hold on much longer! We’re about to win! The Demon Beast Crystal of a Fire Scorpion Giant Frog is incredibly valuable. If we can get it, we’re guaranteed an excellent score!" a candidate from the West District encouraged at that moment.
"That’s right, put your backs into it! We’ve already sacrificed so much and lost so many brothers. If we give up now, not only will we get nothing, but we’ll have failed those who died! No matter what, we have to kill this Fire Scorpion Giant Frog!" another West District candidate shouted in encouragement.
If anyone who knew these two West District candidates had been present, they would have recognized them. They were none other than Shao Yushan and Jiao Zhiming, the same two who had pursued Mu Xianling and her companions!
Unexpectedly, these two had shown up here. They had even incited several hundred candidates from all four major zones to take on this powerful Level 5 Demon Beast, the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog!
After hearing the words of Shao Yushan and his companion, the candidates besieging the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog acted as if they had been injected with a stimulant. They began to attack with renewed desperation, their assault growing even more ferocious!
Some candidates who had been on the verge of collapse, wanting to flee or give up, gritted their teeth upon hearing the two. They abandoned the thought of escape and continued to hold on desperately!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! Wave after wave of attacks slammed into the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog. Flashes of multicolored light flickered. The rumbling, the shouts, the screams, the shrieks, and the sizzle of burning flames all wove together, composing a symphony of death.
WHOOSH! Just then, the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s two round eyes glared, and it spat another tongue of fire. With a great ROAR of flames, it once again turned the surroundings into a sea of fire.
Some candidates who couldn’t react in time were struck by the jet of fire. The searing flames incinerated them, leaving not even bones behind, just a pile of scattered ashes.
That single attack from the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog killed nearly twenty candidates. Its Attack Power was immense!
The candidates who had narrowly escaped death stared at the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog with wide eyes, filled with utter terror.
As for the candidates’ attacks... It had to be said that Demon Beasts possessed a unique advantage: their physical bodies were simply too powerful.
When the candidates’ attacks landed on the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s massive body, they were like mosquito bites, leaving only small gashes and failing to cause any significant damage.
After fighting for so long, all they had managed to do was cover the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s body with countless tiny wounds, causing its Spirit to wane slightly. It was otherwise unharmed.
At this rate, killing it anytime soon was clearly impossible...
