Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

After leaving the Bloodfang Rabbit's territory, Qin Yu and his group arrived at a secluded little cave, lit a campfire, and sat together.

Qin Yu took out a large pile of snacks from his spatial ring and said with a smile:

"From now on, let's just lie here, rest, eat snacks, play games, and wait for these monsters to collect cards for us."

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but click their tongues and broaden their smiles.

Before they came, they all thought this preliminary round would be exceptionally intense and brutal.

But I never expected this...

There was even a cheat among them!

This time they really just coasted to first place.

"Sitting here like this is getting a bit boring," Qin Yu said while eating potato chips.

"How about we play Werewolf? I'll be the God."

"also."

The others nodded in agreement; they were just idling around anyway.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping, who was not far away, couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

Good heavens, the other teams are currently engaged in intense and thrilling battles with the monsters.

What are you guys doing, just sitting here playing Werewolf?

Qin Yu quickly made several identity cards and handed them to each person in turn.

"Everyone should understand their own position now, right?"

"Ah."

"Okay, close your eyes when it gets dark, and open your eyes, prophet."

"Did the Seer figure out who the werewolves were?"

Liu Damao nodded, a confident smile spreading across his face, and patted his chest, loudly proclaiming:

"See clearly."

"..."

Everyone opened their eyes with a speechless expression.

Liu Damao was taken aback upon seeing this:

"Why are you all open your eyes? It's not even dawn yet!"

"Haha, what do you think?"

Everyone was speechless, their foreheads creased with exasperation.

Qin Yu patted Liu Damao on the shoulder and sighed softly, saying:

"Da Mao, I'm sorry, I overestimated your intelligence. This game is still too difficult for you."

"Oh."

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, the entire Flower and Fruit Grassland was in complete chaos.

Thousands upon thousands of giant macaques, black bears, iron-eating beasts, and blood-toothed rabbits surged out of the dense forest, completely terrifying all the participating teams.

"Holy crap!? This is a beast tide!?"

"Holy crap! Is Li Yunlong attacking the county town? Where did all these high-level monsters come from?!"

"Holy crap! We're withdrawing from the competition! Invigilator, help us!"

"..."

The numerous teams on the vast grasslands were terrified and turned pale with fear upon seeing the massive horde of demonic beasts that appeared before them.

Some people with weaker mental fortitude were so scared that they wet themselves on the spot.

Although they were all quite talented, they were ultimately just a group of inexperienced high school students who had never seen such a terrifying scene before; it was almost like a small-scale war.

In fact, let alone them,

Even the proctors behind these teams looked solemn at this moment.

I felt immense pressure, and cold sweat poured down my forehead.

Because they saw that the group of monsters in front of them not only included two-star monsters, but also at least several hundred three-star monsters!

If those things were to rush over here, they'd probably be crushed instantly.

What the hell just happened?!

Why are so many high-level monsters suddenly rushing out of the dense forest?!

At this moment, the same question arose in everyone's mind.

But now is clearly not the time to dwell on that.

All the proctors present at that moment forgot about the exam and hurriedly pressed the distress signal to call for emergency support.

They quickly banded together and stood in front of the student group, ready to defend them against the attack of the monster horde.

At this moment, all the proctors looked extremely solemn, and their bodies even trembled slightly with fear.

There are too many monsters!

There are just too many!

It felt like all the monsters in the dense forest had come out in full force!

They had no idea how long they could hold out.

It might be a minute, it might be thirty seconds, or it might even be less than ten seconds!

Time slowly passed, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became frozen and deathly silent.

Soon, the horde of monsters was less than 500 meters away from the group.

In less than a few seconds, the two sides will begin close combat.

At that moment, all the proctors also gripped their weapons, ready to strike.

However, at this moment,

These demonic beasts scattered and passed right past them, seemingly having no intention of attacking them at all. Instead, they appeared to be searching for something.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw, but none of them dared to breathe loudly, for fear that they would turn around and attack them at any moment!

However, this time they were clearly overthinking things.

The vast horde of demonic beasts quickly disappeared from their sight, much to everyone's relief.

"My god, the pressure was so intense, I almost felt my heart was going to jump out of my chest."

"How strange, these monsters don't seem to want to attack us at all. Instead, they look like they're looking for something."

"Waaah, a hero can suffer, but he can't scare me like this! Mom, I'm scared, I want to go home!"

"..."

The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves, and even the proctors exchanged bewildered glances, completely baffled.

……

At this moment, at the central command post of the competition.

Fang Tiancheng, the governor of Great Xia, and Qin Qingshan, the inspector of Great Xia, were sitting in chairs, leisurely sipping tea and chatting.

"Ugh."

Fang Tiancheng took a sip of tea and sighed deeply with a melancholy expression.

Seeing this, Qin Qingshan asked with a smile:

"Old Fang, why are you sighing?"

"Sigh, I'm so worried." Fang Tiancheng said with a melancholy expression.

“I don’t know who my grandson took after, all he does all day is practice martial arts. I’ve introduced him to so many young women, but he hasn’t liked any of them. He even told me some nonsense like ‘women only affect the speed and power of his punches.’”

"You mean, with a personality like that, even if he awakens an SS-level talent, is hailed as the strongest high school student in the Southeast Province in nearly fifty years, and has combat power comparable to a martial arts master at only eighteen years old, what good would that do?"

Qin Qingshan: "..."

If you want to show off your grandson, just say so. This family is going around in circles with you.

Just then, a subordinate rushed in and reported the unexpected situation within the secret realm.

Upon hearing this, Fang Tiancheng and Qin Qingshan were both startled and abruptly stood up.

"What did you say?! The high-level monsters within the secret realm have collectively rioted?!"

"Yes!"

The subordinate nodded and continued:

"But according to the latest news, these high-level monsters don't seem to have much intention to attack the students. Instead, they seem to be looking for something."

"Looking for something!?"

Fang Tiancheng and Qin Qingshan were both taken aback upon hearing this.

This [Huaguoyuan] is an ancient secret realm that has existed for hundreds of years. Its precious resources have been almost completely exhausted. What treasures could possibly be worth such a large-scale collective effort by these monsters to search for it?

At this moment, Fang Tiancheng and Qin Qingshan looked at each other, both seeing the bewilderment in each other's eyes.
