Chapter 299 Plan Changed

Faced with Si Qingwan's earnest reprimand, Lin Qiye did not entirely agree, but he could clearly feel the heartfelt concern in her words.

He knew that Si Qingwan was genuinely looking out for him.

He nodded, a serious look on his face, and replied, "Teacher Si, I understand. From now on, I will pay attention to maintaining distance and speed."

As he spoke, he pointed towards the mist behind them: "Look, a small team is already catching up."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

Sure enough, in the mist behind them, several small teams were rapidly approaching.

Leading the pack were the three international students from the main planet, known for their speed—Xiao Long, Ye Xingchen, and Su Liuli.

Following closely behind was a squad of Chen family disciples led by Chen Xuanyi.

Following behind these two elite teams were Lin Qiye's two "abandoned" teammates—Ye Qinghan and Su Qingying.

They had obviously joined up with the rest of the group before they caught up together.

These squads are all extremely fast, clearly the elite of the team.

When they saw the scene in the mountain valley, especially when they saw the three teachers, Si Qingwan, Li Sen, and Liang Zhiyin, their expressions instantly changed from their eagerness to get there to extreme surprise and confusion.

teacher?

What's the teacher doing here?

According to the joint examination rules, teachers are not allowed to directly participate in the students' cleanup operations; they are only responsible for overall coordination and responding to emergencies from the rear.

Now, all three teachers are here at the same time...

What major event has occurred?

All eyes were drawn to the pitiful woman pinned to the rock by a spear.

Seeing that the rest of the team had caught up, Li Sen said no more.

He nodded to Lin Qiye: "Alright, we'll take this person with us. You guys continue your mission, good luck!"

After saying that, he stepped forward, reached out and picked up the unconscious woman as if she were a chick.

The whole process was swift and efficient, without a single unnecessary movement.

Si Qingwan glanced at Lin Qiye, placed a small metal object in his hand, and said softly, "This is a signal jammer."

Then, Si Qingwan and Liang Zhiyin did not greet the students who arrived one after another. They only reminded Lin Qiye to "be careful" again before following Li Sen and turning into three streaks of light, quickly disappearing into the depths of the mist.

The teachers came quickly and left quickly.

In the mountain valley, only a group of students remained, looking at each other with bewildered expressions.

"Lin Qiye, what... what's going on?"

Chen Xuanyi stepped forward first, and looking at the glaring bloodstains on the rock, he couldn't help but ask.

Others also gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.

Lin Qiye took the spear, casually wiped the blood from the tip of the spear on his body, and uttered four words in a calm tone:

"Abyss lackey."

These four words were like a bomb dropped on a calm lake, instantly causing a huge uproar among the crowd!

"What?!"

"A lackey of the abyss?!"

"Really?!"

Everyone's face showed an expression of disbelief and shock!

In an instant, everyone's attention was once again focused on Lin Qiye.

Everyone knew perfectly well that these Abyss lackeys were most likely after Lin Qiye!

Someone that would make the Abyss forces take such a huge risk to target in a competition like the Ten Schools Joint Examination...

Lin Qiye's value and threat have probably exceeded everyone's imagination!

However, Lin Qiye, the person involved, showed no sign of tension or lingering fear.

He simply added calmly, "A few of your accomplices escaped, so be careful in your next move."

Just then, ripples appeared again in the air near the group.

Several jet-black shadow wolves silently materialized from the void, their scarlet eyes instantly locking onto all the students present!

Before anyone could react—

A bolt of lightning struck, and it arrived before anyone else!

Lin Qiye's figure, like a ghost, reappeared in the center of the newly formed group of shadow wolves!

Just one shot, a casual thrust!

boom--!!!

The violent elemental energy exploded once again!

The dozen or so Shadow Wolves that had just spawned and hadn't even had a chance to show their ferocious side were instantly shattered into a cloud of black mist, like bubbles thrown into a crusher!

More than a dozen pure remnants of the abyss's will, like rivers flowing into the sea, all surged into Lin Qiye's body.

An indescribable sense of comfort spread throughout his body.

"Awooo—!"

"Hiss—!"

At the same time, several waves of shadow wolves also spawned near Chen Xuanyi and the international student team.

"Let's do it!"

Chen Xuan gave a low shout and charged forward first.

Xiao Long, Ye Xingchen, and the others also showed no weakness, each facing their respective opponents.

The aftershocks of the battle reverberated throughout the entire area.

As more and more follow-up teams arrived, the group finally reunited.

Lin Qiye finally slowed down his pace.

It's not just about taking care of my two teammates, but also because the monsters are respawning at an increasingly faster rate!

The number is also increasing!

He could clearly feel that the deeper he went into this fan-shaped area, the stronger the abyssal aura became in the air.

These monsters, projected from the pure will of the abyss, seem endless, constantly emerging from the eroded land.

……

Meanwhile, deep within Abyss Gap 2.

Beside the massive black abyss energy crystal, only three dark figures remained, creating an atmosphere of extreme oppression.

"Damn it!"

The leading figure in black looked at the latest intelligence transmitted through the communicator and couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

"This guy's tough!"

He looked up at the other two and said in a hoarse voice, "The scout team sent an urgent message... they've been separated. The latest member... is suspected to have been... arrested."

"What?!"

The other two figures in black were startled upon hearing this.

One of the shadowy figures immediately said, "Then we can't stay here! If that monster could detect the scouts in Gap 1, it could also detect us!"

"But..." the third figure hesitated, "We've already accepted the mission... If we just give up like this, it'll be hard to explain when we get back, won't it?"

"Explain my ass!" the leading figure abruptly interrupted him, his voice filled with irritation. "We accepted the mission, but we can't just go and die, can we?!"

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and said in a low voice, "Let's hide first and report back what's going on here!"

"The original plan is definitely not going to work; it has to be changed! If the higher-ups won't change it, then we'll just go through the motions!"

He glanced at the other two, his tone growing increasingly cold.

"Why bother killing those hidden prodigies... Damn it, those monsters are simply not something we at our level can afford to mess with!"

In the end, he couldn't help but curse again.

"What kind of things are on the Hidden Dragon List...?"
