Chapter 1351: Chapter 1353: Alien Clan Examinees Chapter 1351: Chapter 1353: Alien Clan Examinees Pashat originally had an astonishing flight speed, and after becoming a mutated Thunder Eagle Beast, his flight speed had more than doubled, so he wasn’t very worried about the people chasing after him.
However, the Human Race camp examinees pursuing him at the mont noticed that although they couldn’t catch up with Pashat, the direction in which Pashat was fleeing was exactly where the teorite fragnts were marked on the mission map. Naturally, not a single person wanted to give up and they all kept trailing far behind Pashat.
“To think an Alien Clan mber would choose the Beast Camp is simply unbelievable. Do you think all the Alien Clan mbers chose the Beast Camp and their main mission is to prevent us from obtaining the teorite fragnts?” one of the Human Race camp examinees said in surprise after glancing at the mission map.
“It’s very likely. We should be careful, he might be luring us into an encirclent to capture us all at once…”
“Please, use your brain. We’re in the air right now. An encirclent? How will they surround us in the air?”
“Then why do you think he’s fleeing towards the teorite fragnt? If he went in any other direction, with his speed, we probably would have given up chasing him long ago!”
“Maybe that’s the direction of his lair? It’s not odd for a startled beast to choose to flee back ho first, is it?”
“That’s an Alien Clan mber, not a wild beast. Did you really equate the Alien Clan with wild beasts? I really wonder how you managed to reach the peak of second-tier combat power…”
Although a few of the Human Race camp examinees were bickering, they still looked around with sharp eyes and a vigilant deanor. If Pashat really was trying to lead them into an encirclent, it would probably be very difficult to fool them.
The group continued the chase for a while and seed to enter a special area, as if diving into a layer of thin, transparent mbrane. Although it did them no harm, they could clearly feel that they had penetrated sothing.
Just as they were uncertain and suspicious, they suddenly received a system notification.
System: You have entered a special area affected by the teorite fall. Please find the whereabouts of the teorite fragnts as soon as possible. You only have seventy-two hours to complete this task. If you do not obtain the teorite fragnts within the ti limit, the assessnt task will fail! Note: As long as one person in the faction holds a teorite fragnt, the task will be considered completed for all examinees in the sa faction!
“A ti-limited task?” Soone exclaid in surprise. Ti-limited tasks have a set ti fra and are more difficult than regular tasks because they not only present a challenge in terms of ti, but also the task itself will be at least twice as difficult.
The Human Race camp examinees, who were sowhat at ease, looked towards Pashat who had beco a tiny black dot, and their hearts suddenly felt heavier.
At that mont, an examinee from the Human Race camp suddenly cried out in alarm, shouting, “You guys should take another look at the mission map. What the hell is this?”
Everyone opened their mission maps to look, and after seeing it, their faces turned ashen, and several began to curse loudly.
Song Jian opened the map and saw that the cursor that had marked the teorite fragnts had turned into a pale blue elliptical halo. According to the map, the range of this pale blue halo was at least half the size of the North African Rainforest.
Searching for a teorite fragnt with a diater of no more than thirty centiters in such an area was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack, especially since it had to be done within a set ti limit.
“This might as well be a direct declaration of our failure…” soone cursed bitterly.
In the hearts of so, this was already tantamount to a mission failure.
“How about we first check out the lair of the Alien Clan to see if it’s really just him? If it is, we can capture him and interrogate him. If we discover other mbers of the Alien Clan, we can also follow them and pick up any advantages. After all, their numbers are almost three tis ours. If they’re also looking for teorite fragnts, they’ll probably find them faster than us…” one of the Human Race examiners proposed.
Now looking at it, his suggestion seed to be the best solution, and since no one else had a better idea, they decided to give his thod a try.
Therefore, the group split into two. Two of them stayed behind, waiting for others who had not yet caught up, and the remaining ones continued to pursue the Thunder Eagle.
However, to everyone’s surprise, after chasing for more than an hour, they did not find the lair of the Thunder Eagle Beast. Instead, they were attracted to so sounds of battle.
They were in a hilly area, where vast stretches of desert were almost entirely made up of broken stones and gravel. The occasional plant life they saw consisted of grayish-yellow clumps of shrubs and cacti; green plants were almost impossible to spot.
In such an environnt, it was manageable on a normal day, but once a windstorm blew, it spelled disaster for any creature in the area. The gusts of wind would hurl the various-sized stones and gravel at speeds of up to 100 kiloters per hour. Being struck by even a pebble the size of a fingernail could pack a punch equal to a small-caliber bullet.
Thus, it was rare to see ordinary creatures inhabiting this region. The only ones able to make their presence here were those creatures mutated from the radiation of teorite fragnts.
What Song Jian and his companions saw was a group of Alien Clan examiners attacking a mutated wild beast that resembled a robust wild ox. Its body was covered with a layer of armor-like exoskeleton. Clearly visible were thick and strong white bones protruding from its body, twisting and entwining to form a dense shell impervious to wind and rain.
Nad the Bone Ox, the creature was extrely defensive. The Alien Clan’s attacks upon its hard shell caused only a few sparks to fly, leaving not even a burnt mark.
Its attacks were formidable as well; with two horns over a foot long on its head that thrusted forward like blades, any contact would result in death or severe maiming. It was highly ferocious, and not to be underestimated in speed. Surrounded by ten or eleven mbers of the Alien Clan, they had no effective ans to restrain it and could only whittle down its Vitality Points bit by bit.
“Hey, look over there, the Thunder Eagle is there too…” Suddenly, a keen-eyed Human Race examiner exclaid in a low voice, pointing less than ten ters from the battlefield.
Following the direction he pointed, sure enough, the Thunder Eagle that had attacked them earlier was lying on a small barren hill. Blood was spurting from its body, and one of its wings was reduced to half, with the red flesh and white bones starkly exposed, indicating severe injuries.
Yet, even in such a state, the Pashat from the Beast Camp, who had joined the ranks of the mutated creatures, was cursing vehently at the group of the Alien Clan attacking the mutant beast.
“Sumtan, you idiots dare to attack ? Just you wait until the examination is over; I’m going to make you pay dearly!”
The Alien Clan surrounding the Bone Ox ignored Pashat’s rant. Instead, one of the Alien Clan mbers standing outside the fray, shouldering a Rocket Launcher, chuckled and retorted, “Pashat, once the exam is over, we’ll all be third-tier Combat Power warriors. You, on the other hand, will have failed your exam. If you dare show your face to us, you’ll be beaten to a pulp. Now, who will take your threats seriously?… We told you not to assimilate that Beast’s core, but you wouldn’t listen. You were forced to choose the Beast Camp. Who can you bla but yourself?”
