Chapter 364: Bai Bingbing
Chapter 364: Bai Bingbing
Archaeology is a highly regarded field in this Beast Taming world.
To be precise, the development of human Beast Taming civilization began due to the excavation of ancient era ruins in a dimensional plane.
At Beast Taming University, archaeology is a popular major, second only to combat and cultivation.
Thus, it was no surprise to Li Qian that this Freshman Challenge Competition included an archaeology competition.
At this moment, he had gathered everyone from his team and left Mo Yuan City, heading towards the White Bone Plains, the destination for this archaeological expedition.
The leader of the archaeology team was Bai Bingbing, whom An Paozi had mentioned before.
She was a Snow Clan girl.
Like Xue Yan, she had silver-white hair and elven-like ears.
Upon seeing Bai Bingbing for the first time, Li Qian suddenly realized why An Paozi had been so eager to get close to her. This girl was indeed very beautiful.
She was worthy of the title of 'Campus Belle'.
Bai Bingbing was indeed very attractive, but Li Qian didn't feel any particular emotions towards her.
He had Sun Ruirui, Mary, Tu Jiaojiao, and Li Lanying, who had followed him from Lingshui City.
Li Qian was self-aware of his own charms.
So, he chose to keep his distance.
The team was provided with a hover taxi.
The hover taxi moved swiftly, and even in the dimensional plane, where one had to be vigilant and cautious about potential dangers, the journey would take no more than two hours at most.
Li Qian sat inside the hover taxi, deep in thought with his eyes closed.
Yesterday afternoon, after receiving the rewards, he had consulted with Ge Yuming and, finding no prohibitions, directly consumed the pale gray fruit.
Li Qian had expected some effect, but the reality was entirely beyond his expectations, as if he had eaten an ordinary piece of fruit.
"Could it be a fake?" Li Qian couldn't help but wonder, quickly dismissing the thought.
As one of the competition's most important rewards, the organizing committee wouldn't cheat the participants.
Moreover, for the committee, the fruit was precious but not to the extent of stealing from the participants.
Thus, Li Qian was confident that the fruit was genuine.
Lu Tianjiao stood before him, grinning as he asked, "Bro, did you not sleep well last night?"
Li Qian casually made up an excuse, "It's not just last night, these past few days, for the competition, I've been working myself to the bone."
"Finally, it's over, but now I'm being harassed by various disturbances."
Just as Li Qian complained, Bai Bingbing turned around to look at him. "We're almost there. White Bone Plain is just ahead, and we'll arrive at our destination soon."
"We're almost there?" Li Qian peered out the window, his expression unchanged.
In just a glance, he saw the sight outside, and he couldn't help but frown.
The ground was dark, and the sky was a hazy gray, like a giant dirty rag.
Below the hovercar, in the wilderness, sparsely scattered trees grew.
These trees were strange, with hardly any leaves visible.
The twisted trunks and eerie shapes made them look rather eerie.
No one would like a place like this.
However, since things had come to this, it was impossible to retreat. The best course of action now was to take things one step at a time.
"It'll only take a few more minutes to reach our destination. From now on, everyone needs to be careful. This White Bone Plain is a paradise for Necromantic Companion Beasts." Bai Bingbing continued to remind them.
Li Qian nodded slightly.
Although this place wasn't very far from Mo Yuan City, theoretically, it was unlikely to encounter extremely dangerous situations. Still, it was always better to be cautious.
"Don't worry, with us here, you can focus on your archaeology." A square-jawed man patted his chest confidently.
He was also a member of Bai Bingbing's team, named Zhou Yuanhao.
"White Bone Plain is one of the more dangerous places within a thousand miles of Mo Yuan City. We must not be careless." Zhao Liuli, Bai Bingbing's close friend and another team member, added a reminder.
As they spoke, the hovercar hovered and came to a stop at a certain spot in White Bone Plain.
The hovercar slowly descended and finally landed steadily on a patch of ground.
The five of them filed out of the car one by one.
Crunch, crunch, crunch...
Li Qian stepped on the ground, feeling the softness of the soil, but his expression remained unchanged.
After they exited the car, only the driver remained inside.
The driver pressed a button inside the car, and a light shield suddenly rose around the hovercar.
Once the shield disappeared, the hovercar also vanished without a trace.
This was the latest plasma stealth technology.
From now on, the car would wait here for their return.
With this plasma stealth shield, at least the safety of the car was guaranteed.
After getting out of the car, Bai Bingbing looked around. Soon, she tapped a watch she wore on her wrist.
The watch projected a light screen.
An electronic map appeared on the screen.
Li Qian saw that the electronic map had several differently colored dots, one of which was a red dot, likely indicating their current location.
"Let's go, about ten kilometers ahead, we should make a discovery." Bai Bingbing said, and as she spoke, she took the lead and walked forward.
Just as their group of five took their first steps and prepared to move forward, a trail suddenly streaked across the sky above them.
Lu Tianjiao, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed the trail and frowned, "That hovercar that just flew by is probably from another archaeology team. It seems this place wasn't assigned to just one team. We need to hurry..."
