46: Chapter 46 Liu Ruyan's Resentment

On the other side, Lin Mengxue was locked in a fierce struggle with Liu Ruyan.

For some reason, Chen Yi couldn't help but feel that Liu Ruyan still retained a sliver of reason and hadn't completely fallen into a state of demonization.

After all, judging by Liu Ruyan's attack methods, they didn't resemble the actions of a mindless beast at all; instead, they were much closer to human behavioral patterns.

Lin Mengxue clearly shared the same thought.

"Brother Chen Yi, what on earth is this thing? Why does it feel like its attack strategy is very similar to a human's?"

Chen Yi decided to temporarily hide the truth and comforted her: "I'm not sure either, but you must be careful; this thing has great hostility towards you! Hold on for a few more minutes, reinforcements should be here very soon!"

"Okay, I understand!"

"What on earth happened? Why is the signal from the aerial drone interrupted?"

"There seems to be something abnormal near Zone A13 and Zone A14; the drone's signal cuts out as soon as it enters this area."

"It doesn't seem like there's any extreme weather, either. Why would this happen?"

In the viewing hall, a group of parents and faculty members stared intently at the interrupted screens from several aerial drones, their brows furrowed tightly.

This kind of situation had happened a few times before and was not very rare.

After all, it was early July and the height of summer; the relay station equipment in the mountains was prone to overheating, leading to poor signals, which caused the drone feed interruptions.

So far, no students had used their teleportation crystals to come out and report any abnormalities in these two areas.

Therefore, everyone hadn't paid much attention to it at first.

However, this situation had already persisted for over ten minutes.

Especially in Zone A13 and Zone A14, where there were many students.

Looking at the pitch-black live stream screens, the unease in everyone's hearts grew stronger.

Just then, news came from the infirmary that someone had teleported out.

Considering that students using teleportation crystals mostly chose to escape after being unable to resist attacks from beasts, the academy had set the teleportation point in the infirmary, right next to the viewing room.

Upon hearing this news, everyone hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to understand the situation.

When they saw that the student squad that had teleported out was actually Lin Mo and his two companions, they couldn't help but feel surprised.

Lin Yang stepped forward quickly and asked, "Mo'er, what is the situation? Why did you come out early?"

After catching his breath, Lin Mo hurriedly explained, "A Tier 5 beast appeared in the assessment area, and some students have already died!"

"That thing has a skill that restricts spatial teleportation; it's impossible to use teleportation crystals within a few kilometers of it."

"I only managed to escape the range of the spatial lockdown under Chen Yi's cover!"

"Hurry and go provide support; I'm afraid that if it's too late, Chen Yi won't be able to hold on!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present collectively gasped.

A Tier 5 beast appeared in the assessment area? How is this possible?

The assessment area is guarded by barriers; how could a Tier 5 beast have infiltrated it?

Could it be that the grade was miscalculated during the deployment, and a Tier 5 beast was mixed in?

Thinking of this, everyone's gaze fell uniformly on the various leaders of Jiangcheng Academy.

How on earth did you organize this assessment—this was the only thought in everyone's mind.

However, at this moment, everyone understood that it was not the time to assign blame; saving people was the priority!

"Where did that Tier 5 beast appear?"

Principal Yang Yuansheng quickly took out the regional map, unfolded it in front of Lin Mo, and asked him to point it out.

When everyone saw that the location Lin Mo pointed to was indeed Zone A13 and Zone A14, they instantly felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

"As expected, there's a problem here!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and save them!"

"The medical team should also follow; the situation might be worse than we imagined!"

The Principal's Contracted Spirit Beast did not hesitate at all, immediately opening a portal to teleport everyone into the rest area of the assessment zone.

Luo Qinghe did not move. However, Luo Qinghe did not follow the others inside.

Just a moment ago, he had received a message from Wang Kaili via a special communicator.

She had already set off ahead of time to provide rescue; there wouldn't be much point for the Beast Tamer herself to go in again.

Other than praying that Chen Yi and Lin Mengxue would be alright, all he could do was eliminate any enemies related to the Demon Abyss Cult.

"Roar—" Liu Ruyan let out a roar, her body shuddering violently as she slammed her tail heavily against the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust that blotted out the sky.

Using the cover of the dust, she quickly circled into Lin Mengxue's blind spot, preparing to launch a fatal sneak attack.

This surprise attack's destructive power and speed far exceeded the previous ones; Liu Ruyan had clearly used all her strength, wanting to kill Lin Mengxue in one blow.

However, everything she did was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of Chen Yi, who possessed the power of the System.

"Xue'er, to the left!"

"Okay!"

Lin Mengxue believed in Chen Yi's judgment without hesitation; utilizing the wind, her figure flashed, and she skillfully dodged this sneak attack.

She even seized the moment when Liu Ruyan was suspended in the air to use Dragon's Breath, striking her head directly.

Of course, this strike still failed to cause any substantial damage to Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan watched helplessly as her attack was once again easily dodged by Chen Yi; her compound eyes widened sharply, the shock and disbelief within them clearly visible.

She naturally knew that she wouldn't live much longer. Even if the school's people didn't come, she could hardly escape her fate of death.

After this event, Liu Ruyan finally realized the truth. It turned out that only Chen Yi truly loved her, yet she had wasted this genuine affection in vain.

She and Chen Yi had often argued in the past, but each time they were able to reconcile quickly, and their bond remained deep.

Although the matter of her establishing a contract with Qin Shousheng was indeed a bit excessive compared to previous incidents.

But given Chen Yi's feelings for her, as long as she explained a little, said a few nice words, took some initiative, and established a contract with Chen Yi, everything could return to how it was!

However, all of this had completely changed because of Lin Mengxue's appearance.

Because of Lin Mengxue's seduction, Chen Yi left her and would no longer reconcile with her;

The one who should have transformed into a dragon was her, not Lin Mengxue; the one who should have been slaughtering enemies alongside Chen Yi was her, not Lin Mengxue;

The one who should have turned into this ugly form was Lin Mengxue, not her!

Lin Mengxue was like a thief, stealing everything that belonged to her, including her future.

Lin Mengxue, just like Qin Shousheng and Ning Yan, was one of the culprits who pushed her into the abyss!

Now that she was in this state, Chen Yi definitely wouldn't be able to recognize her. But that was fine too.

Even if Chen Yi discovered she was missing later, he would assume she had met with a mishap because she had just devoured a few students.

At least this way she wouldn't have to bear the infamy, and would instead die as a tragic girl.

Therefore, she now had only one goal. That was to kill Lin Mengxue, who had taken everything from her!
