28: clue

"How is this possible!"

"Isn't the Bibi Wolf a monster from the Crystal Space?"

"How could it appear here?"

There is a subject in high school called "Bestiary of Alien Races," which records all alien races discovered since the beginning of the high martial calendar. Chen Du has read this Bestiary many times and can even recite the whole book. He is certain that the monsters in the Crystal Space do not belong to the Blue Star, or at least the seven waves that have appeared so far do not.

At this moment, Chen Du suddenly thought of what Zhou Cheng, the principal of Hai City No. 1 High School, said before they entered.

"It was a 'Dimensional Rift' created when the Nine Planets collided hundreds of years ago."

"We call this kind of Dimensional Rift a 'Spirit Realm'."

"Also, a reminder: there are native creatures within the Forest of Wolves."

Could it be that all the monsters in the Crystal Space come from the Spirit Realm?

In other words, these monsters are all creatures from other dimensions!

No wonder they aren't in the Bestiary of Alien Races.

Just then, a roar from below interrupted Chen Du's train of thought.

"Damn it!"

"What kind of monster is this!"

"How did it suddenly become so powerful!"

He saw the previously disadvantaged Bibi Wolf suddenly surge with power, its claws on the back of its hands transforming into sharp spears. It blocked all the attacks from the three people and gradually began to counterattack.

Chen Du narrowed his eyes, finally turning his attention to the three individuals.

Their protective suits were labeled Micheng Team.

Micheng is even smaller than Liang City; it is just a small city.

Except for the mushroom-haired person charging at the front, the Martial Skill levels of the other two were only at the mid-stage of Tier 1.

He originally thought two teams were fighting and wondered if he could benefit from the situation.

He didn't expect them to be in conflict with a native creature from the Spirit Realm.

Chen Du didn't know these three, and their team leader must be nearby, so there was no safety risk. He prepared to leave immediately.

"Damn it! If this keeps up, we'll be eliminated!" the mushroom-haired man holding a sword and shield said anxiously.

"It's all that guy named Musashi's fault! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be in this predicament!" The girl with dreadlocks flicked her red whip and cursed angrily.

"Xiao Mei, step back!"

A man with thick eyebrows holding twin blades stood half a step in front of Xiao Mei, struggling to fend off the Bibi Wolf's claws.

"Awoo!"

A bone-chilling beast roar erupted from the Bibi Wolf's mouth. The Micheng Team was Li Ke branches swaying in a storm, about to snap at any moment.

Swish!

The Bibi Wolf lowered its stance and accelerated, instantly breaking through the mushroom-haired man's defense and charging toward the two behind him.

"Oh no!"

He saw the creature's form expand, a terrifying aura permeating the air, and the massive spikes on the back of its hands grew rapidly in Xiao Mei's eyes.

Splorch!

A long sword suddenly sprouted from the Bibi Wolf's forehead. Purple blood spilled from between its brows, sliding down the blade until it dripped onto the ground.

"Teacher!?" the mushroom-haired man instinctively called out.

When in mortal danger, the team leader would intervene to save them, which also meant the student was eliminated.

Wait, no!

As soon as the mushroom-haired man shouted, he realized he had mistaken the person. This person was wearing the same clothes as him and was also a contestant.

The mushroom-haired man's teacher was also a swordsman, which caused his initial misunderstanding.

"Liangcheng Team?"

People from a small-to-medium city are actually this powerful?

This guy's Martial Skill must be at Tier 1 Perfection!

I didn't expect there to be another expert besides those three!

The mushroom-haired man exclaimed in admiration.

With the continuous development of technology, geniuses who could succeed solely based on talent had almost gone extinct. The birth of any powerhouse required the support of technology. However, technological resources were limited, destined to be enjoyed only by the wealthy. As time passed and these rules slowly evolved, few could swim against the tide. Big cities were stronger than small cities, the Hongzhi Class was stronger than ordinary classes, and wealthy families were stronger than ordinary families. These had almost become memories etched into everyone's genes. Everything seemed the same as in the old era, without the slightest change. This was the reason for the mushroom-haired man's exclamation.

"Thanks."

Chen Du pulled the sword from the Bibi Wolf's forehead and put it back on his back. As he expected, this Bibi Wolf was the same species as the one in the Crystal Space. The reason the three from the Micheng Team were suddenly unable to win was that the mushroom-haired man had accidentally gotten a cut on his cheek during the fight. The Bibi Wolf is a creature that goes berserk at the sight of blood.

"You're welcome. I just heard you mention Musashi?"

"Have you seen him?"

Chen Du had originally planned to retreat; after all, there were only thirteen hours in total. He needed to use his time to increase the probability of encountering Musashi. However, listening to their conversation, they must have seen Musashi before. And it was because of Musashi that they ended up fighting this Bibi Wolf. Chen Du's original goal was to ambush Musashi on the main path, and now that he had information about him, he naturally had to ask properly.

Moreit and Liu Bo also stepped out upon seeing this. The two teams exchanged pleasantries, and Chen Du figured out the whole story.

The mushroom-haired man was named Zhang Shuai, the captain of the Micheng Team, and his Martial Skill was, as Chen Du expected, at the high-stage of Tier 1. Xiao Mei was named Xiao Mei, and the man with thick eyebrows was named Li Ke; both were at the mid-stage of Tier 1 in Martial Skill.

After entering, Zhang Shuai and the others, Li Ke Chen Du, headed straight for the nearest star marker point. With their strength, they couldn't defeat most teams, so it was naturally impossible to snatch badges from others. The only way to pass was to keep going to the star marker points to collect two badges. However, they were not as lucky as Chen Du; the first badge was a fake.

They immediately headed to the second star marker point, but who knew they would run into Musashi on the way!

Musashi had once reached the top of the Ziyun District rankings through virtual duels and was well-known. Facing Musashi, all school teachers would give their students one piece of advice: If you see him, retreat!

Ling Yun had said this last night, which was why Moreit and Liu Bo were shocked by Chen Du's plan. People ran away when they saw him, but he was actively looking for him. At that time, Musashi was fighting ten Bibi Wolves, and they were caught in the crossfire.

"Where was their battle location?" Chen Du asked quickly.

This was what he cared about most. Regardless of winning or losing, even if this Musashi was unscathed, he would have consumed a lot of stamina. Strike while the iron is hot! Now was the best time to eliminate Musashi.

Zhang Shuai pointed to a location: "Over there!"

"We didn't want to waste stamina, so we fought while retreating. We didn't expect this thing to keep pestering us and chase us all the way here."

Since he had a clue about Musashi, the three from Chen Du would naturally not stay long. After saying goodbye to the three, they headed in the direction Zhang Shuai pointed.

...

One minute after Chen Du and the others left, Xiao Mei changed her tone and said playfully: "Captain, you're really bad. You actually pointed him toward the wolf's den!"

"Not just bad, your ability to adapt stories is top-notch too!" Li Ke chimed in.

Zhang Shuai waved his hand helplessly:

"I didn't want to either. Who told them to be so high-profile, actually hanging the 'Gao' badge on their waists."

Then he took out a badge with the character 'Wu' from his pocket:

"Just wait. Eliminated people need to leave their badges in place."

"With his strength, they'll probably end up both injured. We'll go pick up the pieces in twenty minutes!"
