The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again
Chapter 288: People Seeking Help
"The rain has stopped. Should we go meet up with the other teams now?"
Li said impatiently.
They had no means of communicating with their companions on this island and were actually separated from their team members for a night.
Jiang Liujing looked up at the sky and did not raise any objections.
Just as everyone was about to move, Chi looked in one direction vigilantly, and the rabbit following Jiang Liujing's feet also turned its head at the same time.
"Someone." Without having to listen carefully, Chi made a judgment in an instant, "Four footsteps, three heavy and one light, but there are five breathing sounds."
The rabbit squeaked softly at his feet, indicating that he was right.
The rest of the team has already gotten used to Chibi's perception ability, which is even stronger than that of the phantom beast.
When a person only has some outstanding functions, others will suspect that he has received special training.
But when a person excels too much in a certain aspect or even does not conceal it, others will instead think that he is gifted.
Jiang Liujing sometimes found it amazing. Chidu was exposed like this, and his strength and other abilities were far beyond what a normal person could have, but it seemed that no one had ever doubted the possibility that he was a phantom beast.
However, their own family members could get used to it, but the two newcomers couldn't.
As a magic warrior, Li himself has sharp insight, but he hasn't heard any sound at the moment.
I wanted to turn around and question it in disbelief, but seeing the expressions of complete trust and familiarity on the faces of the others, I swallowed it back silently.
"Which direction?" he asked finally.
Chi pointed to the front right.
There was a dense forest there, and it was very quiet at the moment. When there was no wind, the leaves and blades of grass were firm and motionless.
The reference answers were all given, and Li studied them for a long time, but still didn't notice anything. The dark-skinned man's honest face suddenly showed more disbelief and frustration.
He didn't hear anything?
"Are they coming for us?" Jiang Liujing asked.
"That's the general direction, but..." Chi frowned, "They're not in a good state."
"His breathing was disordered, his steps were unsteady, it seemed as if he was injured, not lightly."
"Should we go over and take a look? Or should we avoid it?" Mo Ya asked.
In this kind of competition environment, they don't have the interest to help others everywhere, otherwise they might be stabbed in the back.
Before Jiang Liujing could speak, Bai Ren suddenly asked Chi anxiously, "Can you feel more of their characteristics?"
She had been acting very neat and cool before, but now she suddenly became visibly anxious. The difference was very obvious.
Jiang Liujing said, "Is he someone you know?"
Bai Ren's face darkened slightly, and he pursed his lips. "I'm not sure, but I checked the area when I came here. The only team around is from a school that has agreed to cooperate with us. They..."
"The footsteps stopped." Chi's voice abruptly interrupted their conversation.
Bai Ren suddenly turned his head.
"He's not dead. He's still breathing. Someone must have fallen."
Bai Ren opened her mouth to say something, but then remembered that these people were not her teammates and were not obeying her orders.
Her gaze shifted to Jiang Liujing.
"Let's go and take a look." Jiang Liujing said.
After all, this was the direction they were going.
and……
Jiang Liujing and Lesden exchanged glances.
Lesden nodded at him.
After exchanging some information in the cave, they also planned their subsequent actions.
Everyone slightly adjusted their direction and headed towards the front right.
After walking for more than ten minutes, we finally found several people lying on the ground hidden in the bushes.
The number of people is consistent with that reported in the red newspaper.
Five figures, all covered in mud and broken grass, lay unconscious on the grass, with faint moans of pain audible from their mouths.
Now that the rain has stopped, the nearby phantom beasts may appear from anywhere at any time. These five people lying here will become a delicious meal in less than an hour.
Bai Ren walked forward and flipped through their uniforms. When he saw the school emblem, his expression froze. He turned around and said to everyone, "It's really them."
Jiang Liujing didn't know this school and had never seen anyone from this team, so he just nodded at Bai Ren's words.
Bai Ren helped one of them up, patted him but he didn't respond, then tried pinching his philtrum, but he didn't wake up.
Her expression changed, and without hesitation she reached out and tore the man's clothes off.
Jiang Liujing was startled by her action. He didn't expect her to be so decisive. In the blink of an eye, half of the unlucky guy's butt was exposed in the air.
Lying on the ground was already miserable enough, and now there was an even more tragic feeling of being tortured.
Bai Ren turned the man over from head to toe and said in a puzzled tone, "There are no wounds either. Then how did they fall unconscious? Were they poisoned?"
As he flipped over, the man's naked body rolled again on the ground, and now his front and back were completely exposed.
Xile screamed and covered her eyes.
The audience outside was silent.
【…】
[It’s hard to comment.]
[This sister... is a little too neat.]
【Some people are still alive, but he is already dead. 】
[Are you awake? Great! Your naked body has been seen by countless people.]
Jiang Liujing looked away and repented.
What a sin! What a sin! The moment he saw the man's body, his first reaction was to compare him to Chi. The result was no surprise—in every way, Chi triumphed.
Chi Ben wanted to reach out and cover Jiang Liujing's eyes, but perhaps he noticed the emotional fluctuations in the boy's heart, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he calmly put his hand down.
Bai Ren picked up the clothes that were no different from rags and threw them back on the man, then went to look at the next one.
Perhaps because she heard Xile's scream, she slowly realized that not everyone in every place was as tough as the people in their Snow Mountain Kingdom. This time, she was much more restrained, and she just glanced around and stood up.
"It's always like this."
"Also, when I met them, there were ten people in their team, but now there are only five here. Where did the other five go?" Bai Ren frowned.
Just one night later, an incident occurred in one of the teams. Bai Ren felt a slight sense of unease, suspecting that the other side had taken action beforehand.
As the only person in the team who apparently has healing abilities, Xile still walked forward and tried to heal these people after screaming.
Poison is more difficult to clean than ordinary wounds. Xile was prepared for a hard fight, but after trying, he was surprised to find: "It's not poison."
"It's not poison? Then what is it?"
Bai Ren frowned slightly.
Xile shook his head. "I don't know. It feels like the damage was caused by a strange spell, but I haven't seen what kind of spell it is."
Jiang Liujing asked: "Can it be treated?"
Xile nodded quickly this time: "They are not seriously injured and will wake up soon."
"Then let's ask them what they went through." Wen Xun took a step back and leaned against the tree trunk, saying lazily.
Soon, the person on the ground let out a low groan, then slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
When they saw the fourteen pairs of eyes around them staring down at them, they were all stunned, and a look of vigilance and alertness instantly appeared on their faces.
It wasn't until he noticed the white blades in the crowd that his defensive look disappeared.
They suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, their faces clearly lit up with joy. One of them excitedly tried to stand up, but his legs gave out again and he fell to his knees again. Even so, he still said anxiously:
"White Blade! White Blade! Save them! Please, save them!"
He spoke too quickly and started coughing violently halfway through.
Several people nearby quickly supported him, and when they raised their heads, their expressions were all pleading: "Please, our companion has been taken away!"
Several people exchanged glances.
Jiang Liujing asked: "Where to rescue? What happened to you? Why were they taken away?"
The series of questions seemed to confuse the person on the ground. After looking at him twice, he replied:
"I can't remember exactly what happened. I just remember that we were taking shelter from the rain last night when a black fog suddenly rushed in, and everyone lost their strength. Then a man walked in. He was wearing a gray robe and a mask covering his face. I couldn't recognize him. One of our companions tried to resist him, but he killed him on the spot."
"He picked out a few of us and took them away. He cast some kind of spell on us, and after he left, we had severe stomachaches. Before he left, he said he would give us one day to rescue them, and if that time was up, he would kill them all."
His tone was very excited and sad, filled with the powerless resentment of witnessing the death and abduction of his companions.
However, the group of people in front of him did not show sympathy as he had expected. Even the most gentle-looking healing sister only glanced at them and then looked away.
Their reaction made everyone on the ground stunned.
When they first woke up, they were still a little confused and couldn't recognize who it was, but now they had recognized who Jiang Liujing was by his iconic black hair and black eyes.
The continent's most talented magician, the captain of the Imperial Magic Academy, the Son of God who is specially cared for by the God of Law... and a new title born in the competition, the Fantasy Beast Knight.
It's not a compliment, but more of a mocking title.
They thought he was so highly praised that he was unwilling to follow the rules after entering the arena. But other than that, everyone seemed to agree that he must be a very kind person.
He even looked like he wouldn't kill.
The team led by such a person must be willing to lend them a helping hand at this moment - so they thought.
However, these people's reactions were not what they expected.
Jiang Liujing's voice was neither slow nor slow, and he seemed completely unfazed by the potential loss of life: "I understand the general situation, but the island is so large, it would be difficult for us to find where they are in one day."
Several people on the ground were getting anxious, and one of them said, "We know! We have a special way to locate them!"
"Oh? So they are here now?"
"Northwest! They're northwest of the island!"
