Capítulo 1717: Chapter 1718: Riddled with Doubts
This ti, before Feng Yuan could co out to explain, Dou Yanlan started to suspect whether it was a secret door. Although the vine erged from underground, and the opponent must have already crossed the test area, this doesn’t an the door is underground too. Besides, would the academy really arrange for an underground door?
While doubting whether there was a secret door, everyone slowly tested along the wall using their ultimate moves. Finally, the door hidden by optical projection was discovered by the group. As they stared at the door, Wu Dingwu suddenly called out to everyone, saying
“How about… we just follow the direction the vine ca from? Always following the designed route feels so frustrating.”
“This… is indeed another possibility, but we can’t beat the opponent.”
Dou Yanlan said with a bitter smile. She of course had thought of this approach, but… the prerequisite was they must be able to beat that vine. Directly following the opponent’s path could very likely lead them straight into a trap set by the opponent in advance. She had a gut feeling that the vine probably had a certain degree of intelligence.
“Seems so.”
Wu Dingwu scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, realizing he might have overthought. How could Dou Yanlan and the others not have considered this? Zhang Cheng nodded and said
“It’s a pity that if we had the strength, we could have directly fought our way along the path of the vine, rather than following the opponent’s arrangents. For so reason, I feel that continuing like this will lead us into danger.”
“Naturally, in adversity, one must look for opportunities to rebel rather than following the opponent’s intentions all the way. After all, the opponent surely doesn’t have good intentions for us. Constantly following their arrangents will only lead to the misfortune they have prepared for us.”
Looking at the concealed door, Dou Yanlan spoke. Actually, this was due to the map issue. Moreover, there’s an odd feeling since no pursuers have appeared until now.
“Be careful. If there’s any problem in the next area, we might have to find an opportunity to break through the map to escape.”
Dou Yanlan said after thinking for a while. Although this might seem like cheating, at present, they hardly have any opportunity to resist.
Little Husky, lying atop the A Mu Tree Crown, swished its tail without saying anything. It knew the current situation for everyone was just like this: either use the discovered loophole to get out, or follow the opponent’s path.
But is it really that simple? Feng Yuan thought of the two plans already discovered, coupled with the unexpected appearance of a suspected final boss in the wrong map earlier. A strange smile appeared on the dog’s face — perhaps it’s not that simple.
The key to breaking the deadlock might lie in those plans, yet who knows if they will discover it. But it seems no problem should arise. Although Dou Yanlan no longer plans to follow the Commander route, her foundation remains, and she might already have so guesses by now.
The reason for not saying it is due to insufficient evidence. So things can’t be done rashly based on re speculation. Particularly now, involving the whole class, she needs to be extra cautious.
“I wonder how the other classes are doing now?”
Feng Yuan swished his tail, sowhat curious. But thinking about it, apart from Class 1, the other classes shouldn’t have too many problems. After all, they have Commanders, while Class 1… considering what they’ve encountered, it’s a bit of a test beyond combat abilities. If they haven’t discovered those plans, they might face trouble.
After all, Class 1’s strength is relatively strong among their grade. To ignore conspiracies and smash through like Feng Yuan, they’re far from capable.
However, the situation is worse than Feng Yuan predicted. So students from other classes accidentally tunneled out, just like Feng Yuan’s class. But without soone like Feng Yuan to alert them, they naively ran to the surface, shocking the teachers. Upon realizing how they got out, the teachers were troubled.
According to their design, this behavior counts as cheating. Yet it’s due to their oversight. Hence, after consulting all students, they decided to re-enter the underground facility to start over. However, because of this mishap, their rebellious mindset diminished significantly, resulting in failure to pass the final test.
Class 1 students weren’t as bad as Feng Yuan imagined. At least they relied on strength to reach the kitchen and found the plans, but they dismissed them as a boring background story, leading to trouble later.
“This place feels like a botanical garden. Is this the plant zone where the vine is located?”
Through the passageway beyond the door, the dripping corridor showed signs of plant invasion. Compared to the previous two areas, this section was evidently out of control, with originally planted vegetation breaking past restrictions to invade the tal corridors.
“Should we start a fire first?”
Liu Ziwen thought of sothing and said. Although these climbing plants looked different from the vine encountered earlier, she couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t act suddenly when they passed through. If it really happened, they might face danger unprepared.
“Where is this water coming from?”
Suspiciously observing the water dripping from between the leaves, Dou Yanlan frowned. This didn’t look simple; the water seed more like it was brought by the climbing plants. But if so, wouldn’t that an…
Thinking of sothing, Dou Yanlan’s face changed, imdiately directing everyone to retreat. Due to their sudden withdrawal, a tiny gust of wind rose in the narrow corridor, causing the wide leaves of the climbing plants to tremble slightly with suspicion.
“There’s sothing wrong with this!”
Dou Yanlan said with a dark look, staring at the corridor occupied by climbing plants. Zhang Cheng, upon seeing the dripping water, thought of sothing and nodded to begin directing everyone to set up a defensive formation in the narrow corridor. Due to the large size of many people’s Spirit Beasts that couldn’t be released here, fighting in this place would significantly increase their risk. Yet even so, they didn’t intend to retreat to the animal zone.
Just kidding — if a fight really breaks out, nobody knows what might happen. If the passage collapses, they could end up separated into two teams!
“Xiao Ji, use the Death Series Ultimate Move to attack.”
Due to Feng Yuan’s request for Xiao Ji to follow Dou Yanlan’s instructions, the opponent spoke after the defense line was arranged. With a nod to Dou Yanlan, Xiao Ji moved forward and spread its wings, unleashing the Wind of Death that swept through the corridor filled with climbing plants. The climbing plants began to slowly wither under the influence of the Wind of Death. Just then, the leaves of these climbing plants lifted slightly.
Having anticipated trouble, Dou Yanlan imdiately directed Cotton and the others to deploy the Barrier. Dark liquid sprayed out, blocked by the Energy Barrier. Viewing the viscous liquid, Dou Yanlan thought of sothing and said
“This is… kerosene?!”
“I see. If we had used fire, the kerosene would have directly turned this place into a sea of flas. This stuff — it really is insidious.”
Zhang Cheng rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said. Previously, all the drips from those climbing plants were clean water droplets. Who knew there was a large amount of kerosene hidden inside the climbing plants? Using a Fire-elent Ultimate Move by habit would have caused explosive combustion in this narrow corridor, with unimaginable consequences.
“Good thing we didn’t start a fire, though seeing the dripping water, I thought it would be for spraying water to extinguish a fire, never expecting this scenario.”
Wu Dingwu said with lingering fear. Earlier, he also considered using a stronger Fire-elent Ultimate Move to clear the seemingly watery climbing plants but didn’t expect these plants to be so… dangerous.
“Pity for the weak? What are they really planning?”
Dou Yanlan murmured in a low voice. Wu Dingwu’s situation isn’t nonexistent, but generally, those not strong enough wouldn’t take this route, because their Spirit Beast Ultimate Skills can’t forcibly evaporate a large amount of ordinary water to burn the plants. Only the strong would choose this convenient thod.
And this kerosene would pose little danger as long as no fire is set. But… why warn with dripping water?
