"Tang Li."
"Hmm?"
"Is it still not too late to apply to leave the team now?"
As soon as Jiang Wangzhi finished speaking, the buzz-cut boy carrying a shield in front had already rushed to a spot less than thirty meters ahead of them.
Running right on his heels were a dozen frenzied Rock-armored Pigs.
Dust billowed everywhere.
The ground shook and the mountains quaked.
While running wildly, the buzz-cut boy shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Fellow student!"
"Stop spacing out! Hurry up and climb the trees!"
Jiang Wangzhi wanted to turn around and run.
But her E+ physical fitness simply didn't allow her to execute high-difficulty actions like a "rapid evacuation".
Her legs felt as though they were filled with lead.
Just as she took two steps,
Tang Li behind her suddenly pulled out that heavily notched heavy blade.
"What are you running for?!"
A sharp glint flashed in Tang Li's eyes.
She was terrified of being poor.
In her eyes, those weren't a group of driven-mad wild boars.
Those were moving academic credits, bright and gleaming resources!
"Points delivered right to our door, it would be a waste not to take them!"
Tang Li let out a loud cry, grabbed her blade, and charged straight at the pig herd!
Jiang Wangzhi stopped in her tracks and hid behind a thick ancient tree.
She was completely speechless.
Crazy.
Everyone in this school was crazy.
Seeing Tang Li charge over with her blade, the buzz-cut boy's eyes lit up.
"Sister! Such nerve!"
"My name is Zhou Ye!"
"I'll tank the damage, and you handle the side output!"
Zhou Ye roared loudly.
Planted his feet fiercely into the mud and sank his body.
The black half-body shield in his hand slammed heavily onto the ground.
"Boom!"
The two lead Rock-armored Pigs directly crashed into the shield.
Zhou Ye let out a muffled grunt, the muscles on his arms bulging high, forcefully resisting this terrifying impact force.
"Hack them!" Zhou Ye shouted.
"Shut up! I don't need you to teach me!"
Leveraging the momentum of her sprint, Tang Li leaped up.
Gripping the blade with both hands, she slashed down fiercely toward the neck of one of the Rock-armored Pigs!
Then.
Tragedy struck.
In order to stabilize his center of gravity, Zhou Ye instinctively moved half a step to the left, causing the shield to tilt accordingly.
Tang Li's immensely powerful slash had originally been aimed at the pig's neck.
"Clang——!!"
A deafening sound of metal collision rang out.
Tang Li's heavy blade struck solidly against Zhou Ye's metal shield!
Sparks flew everywhere!
The huge recoil force directly jolted Tang Li into doing a flip in mid-air, causing her to tumble into the muddy ground in a sorry state.
Zhou Ye was also slammed onto one knee by this immense force descending from above.
"Are you blind?!"
Climbing up, Tang Li cursed furiously.
"What are you dodging to the left for?!"
While desperately resisting the pushing and shoving of the pig herd, Zhou Ye shouted at the top of his lungs with grievance:
"Sorry! I thought you were going to hack the one on the right!"
"How was I supposed to know you wanted to snatch the monster right in front of me!"
"Who's snatching your monster! That's my points!"
Tang Li was driven mad with anger.
She grabbed her blade and charged up again.
For the next minute, Jiang Wangzhi hid behind the tree and watched what could only be described as a disaster-level two-person cooperation.
When Tang Li wanted to break through to the left, Zhou Ye's shield happened to block the left path.
When Zhou Ye wanted to knock the pigs over, Tang Li's slash happened to force the pigs back, causing Zhou Ye to lunge into empty space.
The two of them were as if born fundamentally incompatible.
Constantly tripping each other up.
Stealing each other's positions.
Almost sending each other straight into the pigs' mouths.
Watching from the side, Jiang Wangzhi felt her blood pressure soaring wildly.
She was a tactical analyst with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
In her eyes, every single action of these two people was full of flaws.
Their footwork was completely chaotic.
Their attacks had zero rhythm.
Their stamina was wasted in vain.
It was simply unwatchable!
Normally, she would have already opened her mic and cursed them out.
But now.
She bit her lips tightly.
And covered her mouth tightly with both hands.
She couldn't make a sound.
Absolutely couldn't make a sound.
Once she spoke to command, the system would calculate "tactical effective contribution" for her again.
Her damn points would shoot straight up.
She had to hold back.
As long as she didn't speak, she was still a good-for-nothing.
The situation in the field was becoming increasingly dangerous.
Although Zhou Ye could take a beating, the number of Rock-armored Pigs was simply too large.
Over a dozen pigs took turns ramming into him.
The web of his hand had already split open, and fresh blood flowed down the shield.
Tang Li had it even worse.
Her stamina hadn't recovered in the first place, and she had been screwed over several times by this pig teammate Zhou Ye.
Now her movements had obviously slowed down.
"Roar!"
The largest mutated Rock-armored Pig seized the opportunity. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
It fiercely bypassed Zhou Ye's shield.
Its sharp fangs targeted Tang Li, who had just swung a blade, her old strength spent and new strength not yet generated.
It crashed straight toward her chest!
The distance was too close.
Tang Li couldn't dodge it at all.
Zhou Ye was pinned down tightly by the other three pigs and had no time to rescue her either.
The shadow of death instantly enveloped Tang Li.
"Tang Li!"
Before Jiang Wangzhi's brain could even react, her mouth had already shouted out ahead of time.
A professional player's instinct overpowered rationality!
"Zhou Ye! Crouch and sweep! Trip the three pigs on the left!"
"Tang Li! Don't retreat! Step on his shield and jump! Do a mid-air spinning slash at its eyes!"
The voice was crisp, urgent, and extremely penetrating.
It clearly entered both of their ears.
Almost like a conditioned reflex.
Without even thinking, Zhou Ye's body had already executed the command.
He abruptly shrank his body.
His right leg swept out horizontally like an iron rod.
The three Rock-armored Pigs on the left that were just about to exert force instantly lost their balance, crashed heavily to the ground, and tumbled into a heap.
His shield was held flat above his head.
Tang Li didn't hesitate either.
She unconditionally trusted this wealthy young lady she had just met not long ago.
She didn't retreat.
Her right foot stepped fiercely onto Zhou Ye's raised shield.
Leverage!
Jump!
Her entire body soared into the air, twisting her waist in an incredible manner mid-air.
The heavy blade in her hand transformed into a cold arc.
"Puchi!"
The tip of the blade precisely and incomparably pierced straight into the mutated Rock-armored Pig's eye.
Straight through to the brain!
The mutated Rock-armored Pig let out a miserable scream to the extreme, its massive body crashing heavily to the ground.
Stirring up a cloud of dust.
Having lost their leader, the remaining Rock-armored Pigs were finally afraid.
Grunting, they turned around and bolted into the woods, quickly disappearing without a trace.
The battle was over.
Tang Li pulled her blade out from the pig corpse, panting heavily.
Zhou Ye plopped down onto the ground, tossed his shield aside, lay flat on his back splay-legged, and grinned wildly.
"Awesome!"
"So fucking awesome!"
Zhou Ye sprang up with a carp-leap, looking at Jiang Wangzhi behind the tree with glowing eyes.
"Sister! Those two lines of commands you gave just now were too godlike!"
"My name is Zhou Ye! I'm from the frontier star!"
"Does your team still need people?"
