Chapter 256: Blackthorn Forest, Encountering a Student Team

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After Lin Tian heard the rules of the competition, he could not help but shake his head and burst into laughter. He did not expect the rules of the competition to turn out like this. When that time came, the students with high scores would definitely become the targets of all the students.

Doing so would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of obtaining points. Clearing the magicalary zone required one to be careful of the magical beast. And now, he still had to be careful of whether the surrounding contestants would suddenly jump out and attack him. Moreover, each student’s initial test score was 100 points, while killing a bronze-level magical beast was only 50 points. Killing a silver-level magical beast was only 100 points, which was just enough to eliminate a student’s score.

The points of the magical beast could not be accumulated, but the points of the students could be accumulated. This was the main point.

However, these were no longer within the scope of consideration of Lin Tian and the others. At this moment, everyone boarded the helicopters that landed on the hunting ground. They were sent to the magicalary zone batch after batch. After Lin Tian received his life watch, he was sent down. There seemed to be other students accompanying him.

A black and white light flashed on Lin Tian’s body. When he was close to the ground, he took advantage of his armor transformation to enter this magical zone. After landing on the ground, Lin Tian took advantage of the opportunity to open his life watch.

“D-grade magical zone — Blackthorn Forest?”

Lin Tian looked at the location of the magical zone that he was in and sighed in relief. He did not expect his luck to be pretty good. The first magical zone was a D-class magical zone. He had really picked up a treasure.

“Buzz!”

As all the students were placed into their respective magical zones, a projection screen lit up in the sky. On the projection screen was a huge ranking board. The ranking board refreshed every hour. Now, everyone was at the initial score.

“Time is tight!”

Lin Tian thought to himself. Then, he quickly embarked on the journey of clearing up the magical beast. The Blackthorn Forest was not much different from the other D-class magical zones. It was a natural environment, but the dense bushes were a bit of a hindrance. Moreover, the height of these bushes was not low either. They were as high as a person.

It was not very convenient for Lin Tian to move around in the forest. However, he still slowly approached the forest. A black and white flame emerged from his body, igniting the surrounding Blackthorn Forest, he could barely enter.

“Star-moon Blade!”

Ever since Lin Tian had upgraded his Wolf King Bomb to the Greed Wolf Cannon, he did not dare to use it in such a narrow area. He was afraid that if he was not careful, the power would be too great, and he would be affected. Fortunately, he still had the Star-moon Blade to help him.

However, the Star-moon Blade had also undergone some changes. He could see that the Star-moon Blade was still stained with a certain amount of black. The intersecting black and white energy blades cut through the surrounding thickets. Then, he took the opportunity to kill the few magical beasts in front of him.

[ Ding… ]

[ Ding… ]

The system’s pop-up window lit up. The dozens of magical beasts that Lin Tian had killed just now did not have a single bronze-level magical beast. They were all black-iron-level and ordinary-level magical beasts.

Lin Tian continued to go deeper. During this period, he used the Star-moon Blade to continuously kill the magical beasts that he encountered. Many magical beasts such as hyenas, spotted pigs, porcupines, and other magical beasts were all killed by Lin Tian. They did not even have the time to resist before they were killed.

“The biggest weakness of the D-class magical zone is that there are too few bronze level magical beasts!”

However, Lin Tian took a look at the pitifully low score on his life watch and sighed. The D-class magical zone was good. After all, they were all black-iron level, ordinary level magical beasts, and very few bronze level magical beasts, Lin Tian was just massacring them.

However, the only drawback was that there were too few bronze or even silver level magical beasts. Lin Tian had cleared out nearly a thousand magical beast before he barely managed to encounter two Bronze Rank Magical Beast. The rest were magical beast that had yet to reach bronze rank.

Black-iron level and ordinary level magical beast’s points were considered the same during the hunting battle. Each of them worth only 5 points, and out of the 1,002 magical beasts that Lin Tian had killed, most of them were black iron and ordinary level. Now, he already had 5,200 points, which was added to his initial points.

“I need to clear this magical zone as soon as possible and change location!”

Lin Tian glanced at the map on his life watch. He was still two or three D-class zones away from the nearest C-class magical zone. He needed to quicken his pace. After clearing out the surrounding magical beasts, he quickly entered the depths of the D-class magical zone.

However, at this moment, his ears twitched as if he heard something. He immediately hid. Under the Turtle Breath state, it was almost impossible for anyone to discover him.

“Li Ge, is it really possible to form a team? Isn’t this against the rules?”

A voice rang out, followed by two or three footsteps approaching. It was actually a few contestants. They were walking towards the depths of the Blackthorn Forest. Lin Tian followed behind them silently, listening to their conversation.

“I didn’t expect that they would still want to form a team?”

Lin Tian couldn’t help but think to himself. Actually, the first thing he thought of was to form a team. However, they were randomly dropped to various magical zones. Moreover, this wasn’t the same area as the college entrance exam. Although magical beasts were also dropped there, the difference between a magical beast group and a real magical zone was quite large.

It would not be so easy to meet an acquaintance.

“Zhang Lu, if you want to talk more, get lost.”

The lead student called Li Ge said angrily. Clearly, he was annoyed by this student called Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu immediately shut up. He only followed behind him silently.

“Li Ge, I’ve discovered the silver-level magical beast in this magical zone. After we get rid of it, we’ll be able to obtain a large number of points!”

Right at this moment, a pleasantly surprised voice rang out. The leading student called Li Ge laughed out loud, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes. He had been waiting for this moment.

“Brothers, let’s go. Our chance has come. We might become the first student in this competition to clear out the magical zone.”

Li Ge said with a smile, calling for the surrounding students to rush in together. At this moment, Lin Tian followed behind. His target was also that silver-level magical beast.

“Isn’t this a coincidence?”

Lin Tian couldn’t help but think to himself. In such a hunting battle, there was no first come, first served. Moreover, everyone was the prey. It was no longer as simple as the elimination during the college entrance examination. Ln Tian didn’t have to worry so much.

Lin Tian followed behind Li Ge and the others. These people didn’t realize that there was already a person following behind them.. They were all excitedly thinking about how they would kill this silver level magical beast, how high would the score be after clearing out the magical zone.
