BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75
Chapter 75
Thinking this, Chloe leaned down, picked up the snake that still had some vitality left, turned it around, and knocked off its two poisonous fangs.
When doing this, she didn\'t even blink.
As mentioned before, anything with fangs should not expect to escape safely from her hands.
Humming a tune, Chloe stuffed the two poison fangs into her pocket before slowly kicking her companion awake.
After everyone was fully awake, Chloe stuck her big sword into the damp soil and looked at them silently:
"How is it that every time, I have to be the one to wake you guys up?"
Qin Huaibei and Daniel looked to the sky innocently, while Katherine was a little shy.
Chloe sighed and asked Qin Huaibei, "Do you have the map?"
Qin Huaibei checked his backpack and terminal, then shook his head: "No."
Upon hearing this, Chloe somehow had an ominous premonition deep down: "Quick, check your backpacks and yourselves to see if you have a map."
Realizing something was wrong, everyone hurriedly started looking for the map.
At the same time, Chloe expanded her perception to search for the map\'s presence in the place where they had landed.
But she found nothing.
Her heart sank as she looked to the others: "Did you find the map?"
Everyone honestly shook their heads.
Chloe: "..."
With difficulty, she said, "Crap, we don\'t have a map this round."
Without a map, it meant they had no way to find the path to the destination. They would likely just walk around in circles in the same place.
Hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
How could the same thing happen twice in the same competition, losing the map?
Last time it was Tagar Military Academy, and this time it was their No.1 Military Academy. What was the host doing?
Qin Huaibei worriedly said: "Without a map, we\'d better not act rashly."
The maps would mark dangerous areas for them to avoid in advance. But without a map, if they accidentally entered one, they could easily lose their lives in the mouths of beasts.
Upon Qin Huaibei saying this, everyone hesitated a little.
Chloe rubbed her brow: "No, that\'s too conservative."
"But if we don\'t do that, we\'ll have absolutely no way to anticipate what we\'ll face next," Qin Huaibei argued.
Chloe picked up her sword: "Don\'t worry, my perception can help everyone avoid dangerous areas. You can rest assured on that."
Hearing this, everyone\'s spirits lifted.
That\'s right, perception! Chloe still had her perception to use!
For a moment, everyone looked at her intently.
Chloe pursed her lips and said,
"My perception can indeed help you guys avoid danger, but it can only be used to avoid danger. As for finding the way to the destination, we\'ll still need to explore that ourselves."
"Got it!" Daniel readily agreed.
They surrounded Chloe protectively as they walked forward.
Along the way, they saw many mushrooms, each beautifully vibrant in color with broad caps.
As he walked, Daniel said, "These mushrooms look so pretty. It\'d be great if they weren\'t poisonous. We could pick them and make mushroom soup."
Qin Huaibei admonished him: "What time is this to be thinking about eating?"
Daniel licked his lips: "Making the best of a bad situation. You pessimistic fool wouldn\'t understand."
"..." Qin Huaibei glowered sinisterly, "Just wait till we\'re out of here, I\'ll show you whether I\'ll beat you up or not, foolish wolfkin."
Daniel was unconcerned, messing around happily on his own.
They kept walking forward, bickering as they went. Gone was the gloomy mood after losing the map like Tagar Military Academy last round.
This point rather surprised the visiting team coaches present.
Tagar Military Academy\'s coach curiously asked Ren Yunying:
"Your students have quite good psychological resilience. How did you cultivate that?"
Ren Yunying smiled and said, "They just naturally have big hearts."
Tagar Military Academy\'s coach approvingly said, "Big hearts, not bad."
Ren Yunying: ...
Alright, big hearts it was.
...
On this side, in the rainforest.
No.1 Military Academy\'s group walked together, leaving many markers along the way.
After circling around nearly ten times, they finally made it out of one area.
Daniel murmured to himself: "Crap, we definitely can\'t get first place this round. The others must be way ahead of us already."
Hearing this, Chloe licked her fangs: "No worries, we\'ll speed up and randomly raid a military academy."
Everyone: ???
Katherine hesitated: "Really?"
"Mm," Chloe looked at her and nodded. "We need a map."
She gazed into the distance: "If the first military academy we come across is Tagar, we can seek cooperation. But if it\'s Brut or Sasley..."
Chloe shrugged. "We\'ll just raid them."
Upon hearing this, Daniel raised a finger: "Violent bandits, I like it."
Qin Huaibei also said: "It is pretty shameless, but as long as we remember we have no morals, it\'s all irrelevant."
"Let\'s go, hurry up. Let\'s try to raid a military academy."
Harboring the belief of raiding others, everyone\'s morale greatly increased as they marched forward even harder.
The public screen bullet comments were filled with 666.
[If I\'m not wrong, their morale just went up because they can raid other military academies, right?]
[No need to doubt, that\'s exactly right. I\'m willing to call them the Great Competition\'s First Raiders. Not a shred of righteousness can be seen on No.1 Military Academy, especially Chloe.]
[Hehe, but I just love their bandit act. Great entertainment value.]
[Well said. Did the host consider merch of No.1 Military Academy\'s main team? If they make it, I\'ll buy it like crazy.]
Everyone chimed in agreement below.
Seeing this, the host boss stroked his chin in thought for a bit before instructing his staff to discuss it with Ren Yunying.
After some thought, he also sent people to ask the other military academies\' teachers.
Making merch was naturally about evenly distributing the profits.
The host had never made any damned merch before, but since they could broadcast this show to the public and charge fees, it was proof enough the host wanted to make money too.
It was just that previous military academy contestants didn\'t have as much commercial value as No.1 Military Academy\'s team, thus they gave up on the idea.
But now it was different. The host boss stroked his chin smugly. No.1 Military Academy\'s main team really was his money tree!
Chloe and the others were completely unaware of these off-stage discussions.
Their only concern right now was how to raid a map.
Chloe spread out her perception and vaguely sensed something off ahead, so she stopped in her tracks:
"Hold on, there\'s something up ahead."
