Chapter 375: Big Brother Driver
Chapter 375: Big Brother Driver
As Li Qian gazed at the colossal skeleton, towering at an astonishing height of fifty to sixty meters, emerging from the underground cave, his entire body went numb. The skeleton held a massive blade nearly forty meters long in its hand.
"Do you have to go this big? I'm just a freshman, are you going after a prince or the president's son?" Li Qian couldn't help but blurt out.
Beside him, Li Kun and Feriqi exchanged glances, wondering if Li Qian had already discovered their identities and was intentionally being cryptic.
However, they quickly dismissed this thought. Their identities were well-guarded, and only a few heretical organizations had been intentionally leaked to. Among the actual participating students, it was unlikely that anyone knew the truth.
Even among the teachers attending this Freshman Challenge Cultivation Competition, those who knew were few and far between.
"Ahem..." Realizing this, they both coughed lightly, their faces revealing a barely noticeable hint of embarrassment.
Qi Zai, full throttle!
The enemy behind him was so formidable that Li Qian didn't even want to look back. He directly issued a command to Qi Zai through their soul contract.
Qi Zai's potential reached the fifth rank of the Overlord tier, and as a dragon-type Companion Beast, speed was its forte. Despite not being the most powerful entity in the field, its speed was still ridiculously fast.
At least among the fleeing group, it was among the top runners.
As their speed increased, the distance between them widened. Li Qian took the lead, rushing ahead, but at this moment, a conflicted expression appeared on his face.
He closed his eyes, shook his head, and tried to stop himself from overthinking. This continued for about ten minutes.
Boom!
Just then, a loud explosion erupted from behind, capturing Li Qian's attention. He instinctively turned back, only to see a scene that caused his pupils to shrink abruptly.
It turned out that the Bone King had launched a long-range attack, firing an enormous energy sphere that exploded upon impact.
Fortunately, the attack wasn't well-concealed, and its trajectory was relatively obvious. Although the energy sphere approached swiftly, with prior warning, everyone managed to dodge it safely.
The explosion Li Qian had just witnessed, and the deafening blast he heard, were caused by the energy sphere hitting a nearby small hill.
The explosion shook the heavens and the earth, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
Such an explosion would likely leave no trace if it hit them.
So, the wisest choice at the moment was to run as fast as possible.
Li Qian thought the same, and his rational mind told him so. Then, in the next moment, he commanded Qi Zai to change direction and turn back.
"Damn it, Lu Tianjiao, what are you doing at a time like this?" Lu Tianjiao, riding the Five-Colored Crane, had the driver, Big Driver, seated beside him. Upon witnessing Li Qian's strange action, he shouted loudly.
"I don't want to go back either, but if I don't, those five unlucky bastards will meet their end!" Li Qian couldn't help but retort as he passed Lu Tianjiao.
His damn conscience!
He thought he could escape with a clear conscience, but in the end, he couldn't bear to watch his classmates die, even if they weren't from the same school.
"You five slowpokes, hurry up! If I die here today, I'll haunt you forever!" Li Qian rode Qi Zai and approached the Cloud-Soaring Goose and Twin-Headed Vulture. He had intended to save them, but his words turned into a loud reprimand.
Li Qian was cursing loudly, but to the five people riding on the Cloud Soaring Goose and the Twin-headed Vulture, his words were like a warm wave washing over their hearts.
In today's world, one's character is judged not by their words, but by their actions.
At this moment, in Dong Ning's eyes, Li Qian was like a great hero, no, he was a true hero!
His not-so-tall figure filled her vision and even invaded her heart.
"This classmate and best friend of yours is really brave," the driver on the Five-Colored Crane praised, giving a thumbs up.
"He's not brave, he's just a damn fool! His brain must be jammed in a door. Going back now, he can't possibly save those five people, and he'll just throw away his own life!" Lu Tianjiao's face was filled with anger, and he even cursed.
The driver smiled at his words, then said meaningfully, "That's not necessarily true..."
After speaking, he suddenly performed a falcon dive, jumping down from the back of the Five-Colored Crane. His actions were so swift that Lu Tianjiao barely had time to react.
"Driver, what are you doing..." Lu Tianjiao wanted to speak after reacting, but he was astonished to see... the driver had already landed vertically.
Just as he was descending vertically, about to hit the ground, a dazzling light suddenly lit up, and it was the light of a summoning array!
Immediately after, a pair of pure white wings appeared out of thin air, emitting a faint glow.
As Lu Tianjiao was puzzled, the light of the summoning array completely dissipated, and the owner of the pure white wings revealed their true identity.
It was a Companion Beast, a lion-headed humanoid with a pair of wings on its back, its entire body covered in silver scales.
"This is the Celestial Cloud Beast!" The Companion Beast's distinctiveness was so high that almost as soon as it appeared, Lu Tianjiao recognized its identity.
Of course, the reason Lu Tianjiao could react so quickly and identify the Companion Beast was also because this Companion Beast was extremely famous within the Shazhou Beast Mastery University.
One of the vice-presidents of the Shazhou Beast Mastery University's Combat Academy, Zong Mingshan, known as the Bright Mountain King, had a signature Companion Beast, which was a Celestial Cloud Beast.
So when Lu Tianjiao saw the Celestial Cloud Beast, his heart was filled with sudden joy, and he had already guessed the driver's true identity.
Without a doubt, the driver was most likely Zong Mingshan, the vice-president of the Shazhou Beast Mastery University's Combat Academy.
Discovering that the driver who had been hiding by his side was actually a big shot with a strength level as high as the Emperor Rank, Lu Tianjiao felt a great sense of relief.
However, just at this moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out, "Hurry and escape, I can only hold them off for a while."
It wasn't that Bright Mountain King didn't have the ability to eliminate the Bone King, he had more than just an Emperor-ranked Companion Beast. If it was a one-on-one situation, eliminating the Bone King wouldn't be difficult.
But the tens of thousands of Skeleton Beasts and Flame Corpses beside them were a formidable force that couldn't be ignored.
With strength in numbers, even an elephant could be overwhelmed.
If entangled, even Bright Mountain King would face the danger of falling.
So he could only do his best to support them, creating an opportunity for Li Qian and the others to escape.
