I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Rank A monsters are already difficult to fight, let alone so many of them.

Bai Zhizhou first released a batch of demons, and Jiang He aimed at their abdomens to attack them, killing them in groups of three or five. There were still nine hours until dawn, and the demons behind them seemed endless and impossible to kill.

When spiritual energy is exhausted, one repeatedly takes pills to replenish it and then continues fighting, repeating this process. Why be like a machine, mechanically raising one's head and then lowering it?

Young orchid mantises are much easier to fight than female orchid mantises because they are newborns and haven't yet developed their strength.

The main reason is their natural predatory nature, plus their forelegs are quite troublesome; if you can avoid them, you can fight them.

They played from night until dawn.

Seeing the faintly brightening sky and the hundred orchid mantises that were still not finished off, everyone stopped their mechanical attacks.

"What should we do? If we don't get out of the maze, we'll fail the dungeon. Should we choose the Orchid Mantis or the score? The score for clearing the dungeon should be quite considerable."

Why bother?

"It's so hard to choose."

"Of course we'll choose A-rank monsters. A-rank cores aren't always available. Although they're small, they're still much stronger than B-rank cores. As for the points, each A-rank monster is worth 500 points. If we split these 112 monsters between our two teams, each team will get over 20,000 points. Isn't that more profitable than killing other monsters?"

Why bother? "That makes sense."

Helian Xueyue looked at Jiang He:

"Jiang He, what are you thinking?"

Jiang He pondered for a moment before speaking, though she did consider squeezing into an empty seat:

"How about we take them all, like last time?"

"All of them? How can I?" Helian Fenghua asked hesitantly, her gaze fixed on the demons inside the cave.

These orchid mantises are A-rank monsters, stronger than A-rank monsters, but because they are not fully developed, they have a good chance of being defeated one by one if she can kite them. So she really couldn't bear to give up.

"This method might be a bit dangerous."

"How dangerous is it?"

"Using the crystal core as bait, they lured the orchid mantis away."

Jiang He took out some magic vines from the mustard seed pouch:

"Tie the crystal cores of the female and male orchid mantises to the spirit sword. These two crystal cores have the most unusual aura. If the orchid mantises want to strengthen themselves, they will not give up these two crystal cores. When we fly ahead, they will follow. After all, if the crystal cores are not put into the mustard seed pouch, the aura they emit is very strong."

"This method is feasible, but it is also very dangerous."

He Bi could easily imagine that they would be flying on swords in front of them, with a large swarm of orchid mantises flying behind them, all of which were A-rank. Just thinking about it was incredibly exciting.

It took them nine hours just to kill twelve small orchid mantises; the remaining orchid mantises were controlled by Bai Zhizhou's formation.

I can't imagine how rampant these orchid mantises would be without the array's restraint.

Jiang He suggested luring the orchid mantis, a method that was dangerous, but no one objected. The people present had already tried abandoning the maze and turning to another mountaintop, so what did one more danger mean?

If they miss this opportunity, they won't have so many A-rank monsters to choose from next time.

"Come on, tie it to my sword. I have over ten years of experience wielding spirit swords, so I guarantee it will be safe."

"it is good."

Jiang He firmly bound the crystal core to He Bi's spirit sword.

Why bother with one sword? Long Aotian has one on his sword. Both of them are sword cultivators, so their speed is unmatched.

After the crystal cores were distributed, looking at the sky that was about to fully brighten, Bai Zhizhou touched the scars on his hands:

"The formation will be dispelled in three seconds, everyone get ready."

"Yes, everything is prepared perfectly."

He Bi took the lead and rushed out on his sword, with Long Aotian following behind.

The group flew towards another mountaintop in a grand procession. As their clothes fluttered, the array on the hundred A-grade orchid mantises became ineffective, and they flew out of the cave as quickly as caged birds.

One hundred Grade A orchid mantises followed the scent and flew straight toward Long Aotian and He Bi.

The sound of the monsters flapping their wings behind him was deafening, and He Bi's heart pounded in his chest, as if those monsters were right next to him.

Helian Fenghua and the others, who were trailing behind He Bi, were not faring much better. Some of the orchid mantises flew towards He Bi, while others flew aggressively towards them, as if they wanted to tear them apart.

Jin Dazhu, lying on the spirit sword, was completely unaware of how crazy his teammates had been in their attempt to escape.

Ahead was the maze exit, behind were A-level monsters. Jiang He jumped off the spirit sword and quickly walked out of the teleportation array. Just as they all reached the foot of the mountain through the teleportation array, the orchid mantis behind them also passed through the teleportation array.

A dark shadow swept across the sky. The cultivators at the foot of the mountain looked up and saw only a dozen or so people flying on swords, followed by a group of flying demonic creatures. Zhou Cheng rubbed his eyes, and when he looked up again, the shadow had vanished.

“Li Jiahui, look up. I think I just saw a group of cultivators flying on swords, followed by a lot of mantises.”

"Flying in the sky?"

Li Jiahui looked up at the sky, but saw nothing.

"Are you too tired and hallucinating?"

After being abandoned by Jiang Yaoyi, Li Jiahui had his hand bitten off by a monster. Later, Zhou Cheng ran to a cave with Li Jiahui to save him and escaped the monster at night.

These days, the two of them haven't been idle; they've been out hunting.

Zhou Cheng frowned slightly: "I must have misread it."

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and continued fighting the D-rank monster. Li Jiahui had his back to Zhou Cheng, and as soon as he raised his sword, he saw a teleportation array appear at the foot of the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people emerged, including the Flying Mantis that Li Jiahui had mentioned!

"Oh my god, I think I saw one too, there really is a praying mantis."

"Right? I told you it wasn't a hallucination." Zhou Cheng looked up, and just as he was about to take a closer look, he was lifted up by He Bi while his body was suspended in mid-air.

The D-rank monster fled the scene in a flash.

"Run!" He Bi saw Zhou Cheng and Zhang Jiahui squatting at the foot of the mountain, grabbed one of them with each hand, and fled for his life.

"Congratulations to the twelve candidates who have successfully escaped the maze! Dungeon cleared successfully, system settlement in progress..."

The screen on the admission ticket flashed line after line of text, but Jiang He, preoccupied with dealing with the A-level orchid mantis, didn't have time to carefully look at the system settlement page.

As soon as the scores were tallied and distributed, the candidates in the Senze Mountain Forest noticed that Team B52 had suddenly jumped to first place in total score. Jiang He and Bai Zhizhou were far ahead, with scores of 5020 and 5000 respectively.

The students who were still struggling to hunt monsters with scores below 1,000 even doubted their eyes when they saw the scores. They looked at it several times before they realized that the entire B52 team had squeezed into the top 50 in China.

Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream weren't paying much attention to the rankings; their hearts were entirely focused on Jiang He and his group, especially with the large number of A-rank monsters following behind them, making their hearts pound wildly.

[Is the world upside down or am I? How come I see cultivators who are not even at the Golden Core stage not only flying around with orchid mantises, but also managing to walk them out of the instance?]

By the way, isn't the Orchid Mantis a monster from the dungeon? Taking an A-rank monster out of the dungeon this way seems very unreasonable to me.

This goes beyond the realm of whether it's reasonable or not. I've never seen any team do this before. Team B52 not only carried an A-rank monster across two mountains, but they even treated it like a pet, walking it around like a pet. It's absolutely terrifying.
