Chapter 477 Sentinel to the World: The Delicate and Useless Guide VS The Cunning and Super-Powerful
Lin Xianyu's team went up the mountain first, while Su Jinyue and the others were not in a hurry.
S-class alien beasts are not so easy to deal with; they cannot be easily killed by whoever encounters them first.
Nangong Mingheng, Chu Guanzhong, and Song Shucheng have all gained weight after being fed by Su Jinyue's meals for the past few days.
They're bursting with energy now. If they still lose to other teams when they're like this, then they really need to be retrained.
After resting enough, Su Jinyue's team went up the mountain from another direction. Unexpectedly, the cave of the S-class alien beast was on this mountain road.
Su Jinyue and Xu Haohao hid themselves well, while Nangong Mingheng and the other two were ready to fight the S-class alien beast. After making their plans, they immediately took action.
Startled, the S-class beast roared. Nangong Mingheng and his companions initially benefited from the sneak attack, but once the S-class beast reacted, they could no longer gain the upper hand.
The battle was at a stalemate, but Su Jinyue was not worried as she watched from a distance. She believed that Nangong Mingheng and his two companions, one S-rank sentinel and two A-rank sentinels, could wear down the S-rank beast even if they had to fight it off.
However, not long after the battle began, an uninvited guest arrived.
Upon hearing the roar of the strange beast, Lin Xianyu's team quickly headed towards the scene and spotted Su Jinyue and Xu Haohao hiding to the side.
Lin Xianyu's expression was rather unpleasant. They had gone up the mountain earlier than Su Jinyue and the others, but in the end, Su Jinyue's team got there first.
Watching Nangong Mingheng and the others fight the strange beast, he hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should go up and snatch the beast.
Xia Qingqian noticed that the S-class beast stayed near the cave and didn't leave. She suspected that there might be some treasure in the cave.
If she actually gets the treasure, when calculating the final points, will she get a higher score?
Thinking this, Xia Qingqian quietly approached the cave and slipped inside while the S-class beasts were fighting.
Xia Qingqian's idea was correct; the S-class alien beast was indeed guarding a medicinal herb, and if this herb matured, it would be of great benefit to the S-class alien beast.
Just as the herbs were about to ripen, Nangong Mingheng and his group came knocking, naturally angering the S-class beast.
However, some small insects sneaked into its cave while it was fighting, and the S-class beast became even angrier after noticing this.
It roared, its fighting power surging, thinking it would quickly kill the person who had provoked it, and then go back to deal with that little bug.
Nangong Mingheng and the others were unaware of what had triggered the S-class alien beast, which suddenly increased its combat power significantly, leaving them somewhat flustered.
Seeing that Nangong Mingheng and the others were struggling to cope, Lin Xianyu made up her mind and led her squad of sentries forward to attack the S-class alien beast.
Seeing someone try to steal the prize, Song Shucheng couldn't hold back any longer. In a lull between attacks, he angrily said, "Lin Xianyu, our team discovered this S-class beast first. What do you mean by interfering now? Don't you know the rules?"
"Senior Song, we mean well. I think you guys are about to be overwhelmed. Helping our comrades is what we should do. There's no need to thank us too much."
Song Shucheng: "..."
Is Lin Xianyu really that shameless?
The S-class alien beasts are currently at a disadvantage due to their fierce fighting power, but that doesn't mean they will always be like this, right?
Don't you understand strategy and tactics?!
But now is not the time to argue. If they are too slow and Lin Xianyu's team gains an advantage, they will be devastated.
Just as several people were vying to kill the S-class alien beast, Xia Qingqian also arrived inside the cave.
The cave was spacious, and because it was inhabited by S-class alien beasts, it had a slightly unpleasant odor, but it wasn't too strong.
Xia Qingqian walked further in. At the very back of the cave was the nest of an S-class alien beast. On the wall next to the nest was a plant with branches that looked like glass.
Above the plant, a hole was opened in the cave, allowing sunlight to enter and provide the plant with perfect conditions for sunlight.
Upon seeing this extraordinary plant, Xia Qingqian was overjoyed. This plant was so special that it must be worth a lot of points!
The wall where the plant was located wasn't very high, so Xia Qingqian simply plucked it down and examined it closely in her hand.
Just as Xia Qingqian plucked the plant, it was as if she had triggered some mechanism, and the entire cave began to shake, with stones falling from the top of the cave.
Xia Qingqian thought it was an earthquake and was afraid of being crushed to death in the cave, so she quickly ran outside.
Xia Qingqian ran too fast and didn't notice that the cave floor had begun to crack, and crawling out of the cracks were insectoids!
The six sentries outside, along with their mental beings, finally killed the S-class alien beast. But before they could even start arguing about which squad had killed it, they sensed the ground shaking.
The group immediately went on alert, noticing that the most violent tremors were coming from the cave of the S-class beast. Just as they were about to go forward to investigate, they saw Xia Qingqian running out of the cave.
Lin Xianyu frowned: "Qianqian, what happened in the cave? Why did it suddenly start shaking?"
Xia Qingqian was out of breath from running. She initially thought it was an earthquake, but when she came out, she realized it wasn't.
She felt a little guilty, afraid that it was because she had pulled up the plant, and subconsciously concealed the matter.
"I don't know what happened. I just wanted to take advantage of the monster's absence to go into the cave and see if there was anything that could restrain it."
Unfortunately, the cave was empty; there was nothing there.
Su Jinyue doubted Xia Qingqian's words. The sudden tremor only occurred when Xia Qingqian was in the cave, so Xia Qingqian must have done something!
There's no point in bothering Xia Qingqian now; Su Jinyue realized that Xia Qingqian wouldn't say anything.
Su Jinyue released her spiritual form and approached the cave to investigate. The results of her investigation shocked her: the cave was teeming with insectoid creatures!
The reason they didn't come out of the cave to attack is probably because they were waiting for their leader's command.
Su Jinyue could see clearly that insectoids were still crawling out of the deepest crack in the cave.
Su Jinyue immediately said, "There are insectoids in the cave. Press the exit button now and ask the teacher for help!"
It's too dangerous here, we need to evacuate immediately!
After saying that, Su Jinyue pressed the exit button first, and Xu Haohao pressed it directly without saying a word.
Nangong Mingheng hesitated. They had killed an S-class alien beast, so they would definitely be first in the assessment. If they chose to withdraw now, it would be too much of a loss.
But when Nangong Mingheng saw Su Jinyue's determined expression and thought of his cousin's instructions, he gritted his teeth and pressed the exit button as well.
Su Jinyue's team withdrew completely and fled the area very quickly.
Lin Xianyu was somewhat skeptical. How could Nangong Mingheng, an S-level sentinel, listen to Su Jinyue, a mere guide, so readily?
Without even verifying the truth, they rashly followed Su Jinyue's decision.
