Book 2: Chapter 116
Book 2: Chapter 116
By noon, someone from the team began to howl with hunger, a noise that was especially horrifying as they trekked through the jungle; yet it was soon muffled by the sound of beating.
Ah~ Sis Mia, how could you throw your magic book at such a hungry little girl? Niluka said, covering her head. It was obvious that she received a scolding from Darmiala.
Youre being too loud. Do you want to alert the rival team about our whereabouts? In this place where we do not have a clear sight of our surroundings, well be doomed if they notice us first and ambush us.
Darmialas right, if the rival team came close to them while no one on the team was alert, they would really be defeated. Although with people like Long Tu, DiZi, and Yexi on the team, Lunaria cant imagine what kind of strength is powerful enough to defeat them in one go - even if its the strongest Dragonite Waltz from Class Six, its still impossible.
Though just like what Niluka said, I do feel a bit hungry. I wonder if theres anything to fill our stomachs here. Long Tu, on the other hand, agreed to Nilukas complaints. They had been walking in the jungle for the whole morning after all, plus now was the time for lunch, so hunger was inevitable. Although at this level, they could survive quite a few days without eating, no one would enjoy being starved.
Oh? So according to what you said previously, Long Tu, if were going to be stuck in here for a month, does that mean that our stomachs would be emptied and then well die?
Lunarias question left Darmiala and the others speechless. In the end, Gui Dong Ri who was beside her said weakly,
Uh, Lunaria, we only have two days of competition. I think starvation is the reason they restricted the time limit
Well~ Lunaria met the eyes of her teammates.Why is everyone looking at me with so much pity? Is it true that Im the only one who didnt think of this? Does that mean Im the stupidest out of the team?
This title shouldve been Nilukas.
Still, what do you guys think? Three people can be on guard duty, the others will be in charge of hunting, then well have a barbeque! Everyones attention was drawn by Long Tus casual words. No one expected a little girl like her to spout such rough and straightforward words from her mouth - this is something you dont see every day. Long Tus large eyes shone brightly with eagerness.
There are no objections and Long Tus suggestion was taken by the others since no one here has done barbeque in the wild before. Now that Long Tu mentioned it, its hard to say that they are not curious about the activity.
Beasts are everywhere in the jungle. DiZi left for a while only to return with a wild boar. Long Tu almost punched it into pieces, yet was quickly stopped by Lunaria, who asked her,
What, what are you doing?
Cutting the meat out into portions, Long Tu said, righteousness in her voice, This is too large to roast. Everyone was at loss for words, if she were to punch the boar, its flesh and blood will definitely explode into the air.
Taking out her normal sword, Lunaria said,
Let me at it.
Fearing that Long Tu might swing her punch at the boar without thinking twice again, Lunaria pulled out her sword immediately and sliced the boar up. The boar soon turned into pieces of meat while not a single drop of blood dripped out.
Amazing sword skills, DiZi said in awe. Even if he is the kind who is generous with the power he puts into his skill, he is quite interested in kendo and will learn to put other types of sword skills - not only Light Sword - to use with his own as well; if not he would not be giving people the sense that he is becoming stronger than before each day.
Leah cut some branches and put them in a pile on the ground, then went to find some hay. Unfortunately, the fire could not be lit that easily due to the humid air, so Leah used some Level Two Magic and made a self-burning fire that can burn for a long time. Although the fire is not strong, it can still be used as a source of light and heat for food.
Just like that, with Long Tus and Nilukas urging, the barbeque in the wild is done.
Yet at this very moment, the mechanical voice of the system reached their ears,
Cooking in the wild in a team of more than three has occurred for the first time. The teamwork is applaudable and deserves a prize. Everyones individual scores shall increase by 100 points.
Long Tu and the others were just going to put the freshly roasted pork into their mouths and were stunned slightly by the sudden noise. Niluka said to herself,
Eating a barbeque could get us points
What the system meant is that we should carry out more activities that strengthen our bond as a team, Lunaria said instead of remaining her goddess persona and being quiet like before, this time actively trying to express her intelligence.
True. They added a lot of points to our individual scores. 100 points per person, its obvious that the academy emphasizes on the friendship of us students, even going as far as using a prize system to encourage it, DiZi said, agreeing with Lunaria.
Wont it backfire though? With us strengthening our bonds just to get the points?
This would come down to how individuals interact with each other. As long as there are disputes, youll still mind a lot; and when any small scenarios occur, you could explode in an instant, said Long Tu. She has a deep perspective towards such things as if she had a similar experience before. Just like that small incident with the baby in which there were disagreements - if Long Tu did not stop in time, this may plant an unforgiving seed in both of their hearts and could result in their relationship falling apart. Anything could have happened then.
Ah~ It Doesnt matter, lets eat
Yup, lets eat first!
Niluka happily started with her piece of meat after hearing Long Tus words. Yet as soon as she finished speaking, Long Tu stood up abruptly from beside the fire, looking at the direction which they came from with a serious expression. Sharing the same expression was Yexi who pulled out her blade, emitting a stronger aura.
The overboard and sudden actions made everyone freeze. They came to the realization instantly and made a move - even if any of them may be mediocre - getting into the formation of three-two-three-one. DiZi, Long Tu, and Yexi stood in front, with Darmiala and Leah in the middle and then Gui Dong Ri, Niluka, and Angel behind them, while poor Lunaria was well protected behind these walls.
What is the meaning of this? Although Im the strongest magician with healing arts here, theres no need to completely block me its almost as if Ill die from a glare.
As she was engrossed in her thoughts, the ground started shaking like during an earthquake. Yexi and the others stared ahead - trees began falling here and there, until a built figure carrying an infant on its back appeared in everyones view.
Its eyes were bloodshot, showing no signs of exhaustion from the long and tiring journey. This strong Nitan soldier glared at them who are of a different clan, eyes filled with hatred - memories of the massacre of its tribe played in its mind.
All of you will die!!
