Firefly Journey

Chapter 219 Winter in Nakas (8)

Starkar raged all night, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake, and countless contestants were tragically eliminated by its onslaught.

Hidden in the shadows, eyes are always watching it, hesitant to make a move. Their purpose is obvious: everyone wants to be the ultimate winner.

"When do we make our move?" Robin asked, yawning constantly after staying up all night. It would be a huge waste if we didn't make any progress.

"No rush. Although on the surface it seems that many of our 'peers' have been eliminated, everyone knows that the truly capable ones are still lurking in the shadows, just like us."

"Haste makes waste; striking at the last minute maximizes your chances of success," Lin Yuanran said.

He understood the道理 (principles/reasons), but whether he could maintain his patience was another matter entirely. Others might not know, but Lin Yuanran certainly had patience.

I've been in this godforsaken place for almost a year now, and my eagerness to go home has been worn away to almost nothing. Compared to that, what is this little bit of waiting?

Opportunities can't just be waited for; sometimes you have to create them yourself. Lin Yuanran said, "Xia Zuo, try attacking Starkar, but remember, don't get carried away; stop when you've made your move."

"Once they see you take action, those impatient people will start working for us."

Xia Zuo's eyes lit up: "No problem!"

As he spoke, he began to warm up, intending to head towards Nastascal.

Lin Yuanran added, "Try to lure it towards the shallow water area. There are 'bombs' planted by Wendy there, which is also our home turf. Making a move there will increase our chances of winning."

Xia Zuo gave a simple, honest smile, indicating his agreement, and then disappeared in a hurry.

Looking at this six-person alliance, in terms of pure combat strength, Xia Zuo is undoubtedly the strongest, so the important task of seduction can be entrusted to him.

As for himself, he certainly had his own agenda.

Preserve your strength as much as possible for unforeseen circumstances.

"Gentlemen, let's go too. Let's go to the safe zone in the shallow water and wait for the truth to come out. Then we can take down Starkar together. It won't be difficult."

"Um……"

The group agreed and together they disappeared into the sea of ​​grass.

Lin Yuanran's original intention was for Xia Zuo to launch a feint attack; he had no control over the specifics of the operation.

Xia Zuo grew angrier the more he thought about it. He clearly remembered being severely injured by Starkar before. He held back? Of course he held back, but not much.

"Oracle. Floating".

Starkar, who had been rampaging all night, was still tirelessly running around the world. Most of the contestants who had witnessed his prowess avoided him and kept their distance.

Only Xia Zuo dared to provoke it.

Starkar was just looking for someone to vent his frustrations on, and now that a punching bag has been delivered to his doorstep, he couldn't resist and accelerated towards Shazo.

Having cast "Levitation," Shazo was also able to briefly hover in the air. Standing in mid-air, looking down at Starkar's unicorn, he unleashed a barrage of magic.

As the saying goes, "Don't hit someone in the face." Starkar's horn is not only a means of attack for this species, but also a symbol of their glory. How could it not be enraged by Shazo's provocation?

Shazo's "floating" height is quite deliberate; it's neither too close to the ground nor too high for Starkar to reach.

It seems he took Lin Yuanran's words to heart; seduction was his main strategy.

Starkar fell for the trap, being led by the nose by Shazo, step by step heading towards the trap area.

From the shadows, many eyes were watching, with those from Ecklin Academy being the most uneasy.

Xia Zuo dared to challenge Starkar single-handedly and even gained the upper hand, so he must have his own unique skills. If left unchecked, he might really take it all for himself.

How can that be done!

"Jamie, let's get started!" said Sidney the Ratman.

Walker chimed in, "Yeah, otherwise it would be too late."

Jamie frowned and looked at Durant and Pippen. Durant and Pippen remained expressionless and silent, as if to say, "I'm fine with whatever you say."

With Svencal about to disappear from sight, Jamie had no choice but to give it a try.

"Alright, let's get started, follow me!"

"it is good!"

Jamie, moving like lightning, charged out with "a determination to have mercy on the world," spear in hand.

……

……

"Since you're here, why don't you come out?"

As the morning sun shone, the wind chime stood up and looked ahead.

Behind her, a commotion arose, and a group of people dressed in black robes, whose age and gender were indistinguishable, emerged.

This outfit suggests they're from Deathwhisper Grove; Windchime recognized them when they gathered at the training grounds earlier.

"Greetings, Holy Maiden," one of the men in black robes said respectfully.

Fengling was somewhat surprised, because no one except herself and the people in the temple could possibly know that she was the Holy Maiden of the Temple.

How do you know about the Deathwhisper Grove?

Fengling didn't ask why; she knew the other party wouldn't tell her, and it would be a waste of breath.

"What's up?" Fengling raised an eyebrow.

"No, I was just passing by."

"I believe it."

"Believe it or not, I know we can't leave," the man said bitterly.

"you guessed right."

After Feng Ling finished speaking, she immediately invoked the divine decree, and violent lightning surged all around, while layers of ice began to form beneath her feet.

Lightning, fire, and light are natural counters to dark magic, and the Deathwhisper Grove is unlike other churches that accept all races; its members are all dead.

The wind chimes' thunder has a natural suppressive effect on her, and even when facing a group of Death God followers, she is confident of victory.

Unexpectedly, before the wind chimes' thunder could strike, the people of Deathwhisper Grove vanished.

It's not about running away, it's about being eliminated.

They detonated the butterfly runes within their bodies, eliminating themselves.

Fengling was puzzled. Even if they were no match for her, escaping wouldn't be too difficult. To simply end her own life... seemed rather unbelievable.

"Forget it, maybe they're just like the Temple, indifferent?"

Wind Chime regained her composure and turned her gaze to the forest behind her.

Originally, she planned to make her move last.

The rules state that whoever has the highest final score wins.

She figured that instead of working herself to the bone to earn points as soon as she entered, she might as well find a place to take a nap. The further in the game she went, the fewer people remained, and the more points those people would accumulate.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to just eliminate those with the most points? Why start from scratch?

However, she has now changed her mind.

The strange behavior in the Deathwhisper Grove made her cautious. Had her little secret been discovered?

Just in case, let's end this match as soon as possible so we can return to the temple sooner.

With the protection of the Ancestral God Church, there shouldn't be any major problems.

……

Several dark figures were teleported out onto the training field.

The standings next to it also changed accordingly.

St. Louis Academy suddenly surged ahead, jumping to first place in the rankings, while on the individual leaderboard, Wind Chime also made great strides, overtaking Locke.

Such a change happens in the blink of an eye.

It seems that the points accumulated by these men in black robes are astronomical.

"Aldrich, are you sure we've completed the mission?" one of the men in the black robes asked.

Aldridge, who was in charge, said, "Don't worry, I've been doing exactly what Elilo instructed."

……

……

P.S.: No prize for guessing, who exactly is Fengling?
