Chapter 1239 Teammates
After successfully infiltrating Rosalia, Lilia, Seele, and Bronya's group, Amethyst's frayed nerves finally relaxed a bit. He deliberately walked slightly behind the group, perfunctorily joining in with the girls' chatter about water guns and the "uncle's screaming incident," while quietly spreading his awareness like an invisible spider web over the noisy, yet perilous, grove.
Soon, several familiar auras passed by the edge of perception like frightened rabbits, with obvious intention of "escaping".
Kevin, Kosmo, Qianjie and Su.
These are the remaining "prey" and also Amethyst's "comrades-in-arms" a few minutes ago.
With Amethyst gone, the "number one bounty target," the girls naturally focused their firepower on the remaining "rare creatures." Amethyst could clearly sense the sharp auras that had been lingering around him searching for him. After a brief, fruitless search, they quickly turned around and joined the fight against Kevin and Kosmo. This made him feel safer staying with Rosalia's team.
Watching his former "comrades" being pursued to the point of no return, Zijing felt a subtle sense of...amusement in watching a spectacle? He tried hard to suppress the "ordinary girl" expression on his face and avoid laughing out loud.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Rosalia suddenly turned around and looked curiously at the suspicious curve at the corner of Amethyst's mouth.
"Nothing." Zijing immediately restrained her expression and pretended to be a little embarrassed. "I just thought... everyone was having a great time."
"Hehe, of course!" Rosalia proudly waved the water gun in her hand. "If Teacher Zijing and the others hadn't run so fast, I would have wanted to try peeling off their clothes bit by bit. That uncle is nothing to look at. If you want to see more, look at the others..."
Bronya glanced at Amethyst with her grey eyes and remained silent for a moment. Seele, on the other hand, wasn't focused on the game; she was content simply walking in the woods with her friends.
As they walked and talked, they met many female classmates whose bodies were covered in water stains.
Kevin and the others weren't just running away; they'd certainly fight back along the way. Counting them one by one, Zijing wasn't surprised to find that nearly 60% of the girls had been eliminated.
You're quite capable.
Zijing was thinking as if it was none of his business, when suddenly a stream of water shot towards him and he dodged it by turning his body.
It was ordinary water, a sneak attack from Su.
Zijing hadn't expected Su, a seemingly gentle fellow, to be so capable of a sneak attack. She had assumed he'd secretly find a place to meditate and hide until dawn. She also didn't know if he'd discovered something, but chose to attack him out of the group.
Zijing wanted to quietly tell the other party her undercover identity, at least to prevent her from attacking friendly forces, but then she came to her senses.
...That's not right. If it was just ordinary water, shouldn't he have dodged it just now? Shouldn't he have just taken this opportunity to quit the game?
Anyway, the rules say that if you get hit, you're out, and a friendly gun is still a gun.
Thinking of this, Zijing stopped hiding.
Waiting expectantly for the other party to shoot him in the head.
Unfortunately, the perception of a psychic fusion warrior was difficult. Su, initially unsure, completely confirmed the opponent's identity after noticing Zijing's unusual movements. After a moment's thought, he stopped attacking and instead kicked all the girls in the squad except him out of the game.
"..."
Zijing looked at herself who was dry, then looked at the girls around her who were soaked like drowned rats, raised her head, and seemed to be looking at Su in the darkness.
"Feel sorry……"
Su's voice transmission was full of apology. If possible, he didn't want to be stripped of his clothes. After living for 50,000 years, he had to at least maintain his decency in front of the new generation.
Therefore, in order to relieve the pressure on himself, he had to pull Amethyst into the battlefield again.
Sue left, leaving the complaining girls around Amethyst.
"Damn it, I'm soaked... Does that mean I'm out?"
Rosalia twisted her sleeve and pouted.
"I'm out, so I should return the water gun later," Xier replied.
"But I still want to have some fun, Bronya. How about we find a random hole nearby and hide a gun in it?"
"...Maybe not. Someone is here to collect it."
Like Rosalia, Bronya also had a few ulterior motives. Unfortunately, perhaps the organizers had anticipated this situation and sent people to patrol the woods. Not long after, students wearing special armbands emerged from the darkness.
"..."
Zijing silently watched the defeated surrender their weapons, then followed one of the patrolling students out of the battlefield. Before leaving, Rosalia solemnly placed the team's last hope on Zijing... despite the fact that he was just a suspicious individual who had joined in...
Bronya moved closer to Amethyst and reminded him not to forget the previous agreement.
Soon, Zijing was the only one left standing alone at the scene.
After such a delay, there wouldn't be many girls left. He had just seen a group of people passing by with their heads down, all of them young girls of the new generation who were focused on participating.
I used to think that under the threat of Alicia and others, these little girls might cause a lot of trouble to the boys' team, but now... I have slightly underestimated the combat capabilities of Kevin and others. Even if they release water in a flood-like manner, they are not comparable to the new generation of girls.
So... wasn't it a bad idea for him to desert so quickly just now?
Zijing reflected on herself, unaware that the pressure on Kevin and the others wasn't as great as she'd imagined, and that she had a small part to play for it. After all, the girls' high-end combat power was still primarily targeting him, and as long as he wasn't eliminated, the rest of her teammates wouldn't be facing a complete siege.
However, now not only has Su seen through Zijing's identity, but she has also lost the other little girls who used her to hide herself... I have a bad feeling. According to Su's character, he should not betray his friends and inform Alicia and the others, right?
As he was thinking this, suddenly, the ground shook, followed by a sudden flash of fire not far away.
…I seemed to hear Qianjie’s roar just now, like a beast caught in a trap.
After all this time, one was finally eliminated... No, why did I say "finally"? With fewer teammates, wouldn't he be in even greater danger?
What if Su becomes the next victim, or if, sensing a crisis, chooses to trade intelligence for respectability... I'm a little worried. It's not that I don't trust Su's character. It's just a game, so the guilt of betraying a teammate shouldn't be that strong, right? What if?
