30: Chapter 30 Cooperative Hunting

Outside, parents who had spent a fortune enrolling their children in various training classes couldn't help but worry as they saw the situation inside the secret realm.

Li Guodong smiled at the mayor, Liu Songren, next to him. "The public has been comfortable for too long and has forgotten that this is the true battlefield for Soul Masters."

"Exactly. The authorities suddenly changed the subject, just to tell the world that exotic beasts won't always wait for Soul Masters to hunt them; they will also actively attack humans!"

Bai Yuntian, on the left, remained silent. As Martial Soul instructors, they only needed to teach students and had no need to hunt exotic beasts at all.

Inside the secret realm, Lin Mo ignored the complaints and wails of others and was checking the scoring rules.

The way to earn points was very fair. Killing a Tier 1 exotic beast earned 1 point, Tier 2 earned 5 points, Tier 3 earned 20 points... rescuing simulated citizens... escorting special targets...

Lin Mo quickly scanned the rules. "According to the rules, having the ability to kill exotic beasts is the most cost-effective."

Lin Mo closed the virtual panel of the scorer. At this moment, many candidates had already determined their targets and began to leave the city gate square in twos and threes, heading in all directions.

Lin Mo was also planning to form a team with Lu Mengmeng and Niu Dachun. However, a cold voice came from behind him.

"Lin Mo! Do you want to join me?"

Lin Mo turned around upon hearing the voice. He saw the class monitor, Qin Ran, walking towards him with her usual indifferent expression.

She was wearing the standard combat suit for candidates. The clean cut was made exceptionally beautiful by her tall figure. In particular, the smooth curves it outlined drew the eyes of many candidates around her, who couldn't help but follow her movements.

Before Lin Mo could speak, Lu Mengmeng puffed out her chest, which she was proud of, stood in front of Lin Mo with her hands on her waist, and lifted her chin slightly.

"Sorry, the boss is with me. You should go find someone else!"

In terms of height and appearance, Lu Mengmeng might not have the confidence to compare herself to Qin Ran. But when it came to her chest, even two Qin Rans couldn't compare to her. After all, her nutrition had all gone to her chest.

Lin Mo's forehead sprouted black lines, and he pushed Lu Mengmeng's head away with his large hand.

"Ouch!"

"What are you saying? You're so rude!"

Lin Mo glared at Lu Mengmeng and then looked at the class monitor, Qin Ran. "Hey, Class Monitor, if you don't mind, you can join our three-person team!"

Hearing this, their classmates thought Lin Mo was being ungrateful. In their eyes, Qin Ran was planning to carry Lin Mo because his Martial Soul was useless. Yet, he had the nerve to drag two dead weights along. That was just going too far.

On the side, the Vice Squad Leader, who was full of resentment, thought this was a good opportunity. He adjusted his collar, intending to step out and resolve the awkward situation.

As a result, Qin Ran's gaze swept over Lu Mengmeng's pouting face, then looked at the grinning Niu Dachun on the side. Finally, it landed on Lin Mo, and she shook her head. "Forget it then."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, a pair of illusory ice-blue wings suddenly materialized behind her. She flew directly towards the city wall.

"Uh..."

What did that mean? Lin Mo looked at Mengmeng, then at Niu Dachun. He wondered if she disliked these two.

Meanwhile, the Vice Squad Leader's smile stiffened. He stared blankly at the figure flying up the city wall, feeling like his heart had received 9999 points of critical damage.

However, some candidates only now realized Qin Ran's motive.

"Hiss, is this female student planning to defend the city wall all by herself?"

This remark instantly woke everyone up. "My god, aren't the exotic beasts attacking the city wall all Tier 2 or higher? How does she dare to do that when she's only level ten!"

"What do you know? She is Qin Ran, the school beauty from No. 1 High School who awakened the SS-rank Martial Soul, Frost Phoenix."

"SS-rank! No wonder she dares to go alone..."

After Qin Ran flew onto the city wall, two more figures jumped out of the crowd and reached the wall in a few leaps.

"Look, those are the two geniuses with SS-rank Martial Souls from No. 2 High School and No. 3 High School."

"What's that? Look at that guy from No. 5 High School with the S-rank dual Martial Soul; he also went up alone!"

"Sigh, there's really no comparison. We losers should just look for low-tier exotic beasts in the inner city."

The remaining candidates left one after another. After all, there were other ways to earn points besides hunting exotic beasts. After the Vice Squad Leader and his group of four formed their team, they glared at Lin Mo angrily and also walked up to the city wall.

Although they couldn't hunt Tier 2 or higher exotic beasts alone, they had no problem doing so as a team.

"Boss, what about us? Should we look for low-tier exotic beasts in the city, or go up to the city wall too?" Lu Mengmeng's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"Let's go to the city wall first. It's faster to earn points there. We'll move to the urban area after the city wall is breached."

Indeed, given the strength of the Soul Masters in Yangxi Town, unless a miracle occurred, the breach of the city was only a matter of time, unless they could hold out until reinforcements arrived. But how could a group of candidates who were only around level ten change the course of the battle!

Niu Dachun shouldered his Frying Pan and followed in a muffled voice: "Wherever Brother Mo says to go, that's where I'll go!"

Lu Mengmeng also rolled up her sleeves, and the Devil Vine circled around her fingertips. "It's just the right time to let those who look down on us see who the real losers are!"

The three of them had just rushed to the top of the city wall when they were forced back by a foul wind. A monster with a crocodile's mouth had just climbed onto the city wall. Stinking drool dripped from its fangs, eroding small pits into the ground.

"It's a Tier 2 Golden-Armored Crocodile." Lin Mo quickly identified the beast species. This thing had thick skin; he had to hit its eyes.

"Da Chun, draw its aggro! Mengmeng, control it and pierce its eyes!"

"Ha! Soul Skill: Great Sumeru Pot!" Niu Dachun slammed it towards the head of the Golden-Armored Crocodile.

"Clang!" This pot couldn't cause damage to the Golden-Armored Crocodile, but it successfully drew its aggro.

"Roar!" The Golden-Armored Crocodile quickly swiped a claw at Da Chun. Fortunately, Da Chun was prepared and blocked it with his Frying Pan.

"Bang!" The claw had immense strength, immediately knocking Niu Dachun and his pot flying.

"Nether Vine Prison!" Lu Mengmeng's Devil Vine burrowed out from under the wall, instantly turning into a cage to restrain the Golden-Armored Crocodile.

"Mengmeng, now!"

Lin Mo knew that with Lu Mengmeng's current strength, she couldn't control a Tier 2 strength-type Golden-Armored Crocodile for too long. Lu Mengmeng understood this too, and at this moment, her four-clawed Devil Vine showed its advantage. One of the branches lit up.

"Devil Thrust!"

Several black Devil Vine spikes shot out from the ground, hitting both of the Golden-Armored Crocodile's eyes.

"Puchi!" The Devil Vine spikes followed the Golden-Armored Crocodile's eyes and pierced directly into its skull.

"Roar!" With a mournful cry, the Golden-Armored Crocodile flailed a few times before falling off the city wall.

Lin Mo, worried that it wasn't completely dead, casually condensed a red Pill Furnace and threw it down like a grenade.

"Boom!" There was an explosion.

The scorers in the three people's hands sounded.

"Congratulations to your team for killing one Tier 2 Golden-Armored Crocodile. You have received +5 points. Intelligent distribution results: Niu Dachun +1.5, Lu Mengmeng +3, Lin Mo +0.5..."

"Pfft!" Upon hearing this result, Lin Mo almost vomited blood!

"What the hell! Is my command contribution only worth 0.5?"

Lu Mengmeng covered her mouth with her small hand, holding back laughter with a "wuwuwu" sound.

"Brother Mo, could this be because the profession you registered is a Support Soul Master?" Niu Dachun wasn't stupid; he immediately thought of the key point.

"I know, do you need to tell me? I'm just a bit upset!" Lin Mo glared at his two teammates. He had long guessed the rules. If he had provided support to his teammates during the battle, his points earned could have increased, but now he was just moving his mouth. The scorer naturally wouldn't give him too many points. This was also to prevent candidates from hiring people to cheat.

"Oh, the class monitor is amazing!" Lu Mengmeng suddenly pointed to the other side of the city wall.
