Chapter 35: Boss in the Mountain

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as the order was given, the students who were ready to hunt immediately rushed into the mountain excitedly.

“Charge!”

“Let’s go!”

“Haha, the first place will definitely be mine!”

“As if! With your ugly appearance, the first place should be mine!”

Some of the boys were buzzing with adrenaline. They charged forward with all their might, as if they could get first place if they rushed faster and bravely plunged into the dense forest.

However, as soon as a few people rushed in, the excited shouts from their mouths turned into miserable screams. A majestic golden shield quickly formed on their bodies to protect their entire bodies.

“Ahhh, help! What is this?”

“What the f*ck. I’ve been ambushed!”

“It’s over, it’s over…”

It turned out that there were a few exotic beasts lying in ambush on the path they were charging at. These people didn’t pay attention and were immediately attacked.

As a result, their monthly test had already ended.

Those who hadn’t been attacked immediately retreated in fear, their faces pale.

“Id*ots.”

Shen Yanhu, who was watching from behind, was speechless and cursed, “Remember, you are hunters in the wild, but you are also the prey! Stay cautious. Low-key hunting is the way to go!”

A few boys who had activated their jade pendant stopped fighting and were rescued by the teachers dejectedly.

They looked at the students who were about to enter the mountain and immediately lowered their heads. Their faces were red, and they wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Chu Lingjun shook his head and smiled. He activated his Electric Field skill.

After the clone electric eel advanced to Middle Stage Level One, the electric field now covered a radius of 100 meters, which made Chu Lingjun’s confidence in scoring in the monthly test soar.

Chu Lingjun made sure that there were no issues around him and slowly walked into the mountain.

“Chu Lingjun, I’ll be heading in first. I’ll wait for you at the top of the mountain.”

A crisp laughter came from the side. It was Chen Zhiqi, who was holding a three-foot long sword and looked valiant.

“Alright.” Chu Lingjun replied.

The mountain in front of him loomed over his tiny body.

Shen Yanhu said that the school had arranged for a boss to appear deeper in the mountain. If there were no accidents, the boss should be on the top of the mountain.

Chen Zhiqi’s long hair fluttered in the wind as she quickly and quietly ventured into the mountain.

Ding Peng greeted Chu Lingjun as well. His figure moved past him like a bear as he strode forward.

After making sure that there was no danger, Chu Lingjun advanced step by step.

As they moved forward, the number of students around them gradually decreased, and the surroundings became quiet. Giant trees stood in the forest, and there were overgrown weeds everywhere. From time to time, various unknown roars of beasts could be heard from afar.

Chu Lingjun looked up at the sky. The canopy above his head was dense and covered the sky. He could barely see the blue sky. It was as if it had been cut into multiple shapes.

Past the broken blue sky, one could see eye-catching pillars of red smoke rising up.

The places where the red smoke was located was where the spoils of war can be collected. The mutated beasts that the examinees hunted could be transported there for registration and ranking.

It didn’t matter if he couldn’t see the smoke pillar because his watch had a map to show him the way.

At the same time, a large number of drones floated in the air.

There was one floating above Chu Lingjun’s head, and the camera was facing him. If Chu Lingjun moved forward, it would trace his every move. This must be the welfare of top students.

The teachers could watch his performance in real time through the drone.

Chu Lingjun advanced for a while more. Suddenly, he raised his right hand, and a blue electric arc shot out from his hand.

A series of explosions sounded in the forest, dazzling anyone that looked.

A large hole was blasted open in the dense canopy at Chu Lingjun’s side. The leaves were charred black, and the branches and leaves were shattered into bits. A large brownish-black snake — whose body was trembling — fell from the canopy.

This snake was nearly three meters long. It had a brownish-black back and a khaki head. Its head was oddly triangular.

Chu Lingjun looked at the snake with a solemn expression. His feet involuntarily took a step back. Then, he raised his left hand and shot out another electric arc!

With a crisp sound, the large snake was electrocuted into a charcoal. Its scales were charred, and the fragrance of meat spread out. Black smoke billowed soon after!

This was the extremely venomous Hundred-step Snake.

The Hundred-step Snake was a sought after snake that produced high quality poison in the Old Era. Now that it had been cleansed by spiritual power, its toxicity had increased to another level!

After being bitten by this snake, Chu Lingjun would have to immediately forfeit the exam.

With this thought in mind, another electric arc shot out from Chu Lingjun’s hand.

The third bolt of lightning struck. The Hundred-step Snake stopped moving. It was obvious that it had already died.

Chu Lingjun didn’t think much of this. The other party was highly toxic, and it was always good to electrocute them a few more times to make sure they stayed dead. It was better to be careful than to die from a fake death afterwards.

After confirming that it was dead, Chu Lingjun took out a knife and cut off the snake’s head. Then, he carried the snake’s body and continued forward.

On the way, Chu Lingjun encountered Violent Rats, Shangfus, Fanged Iron Boars, Wind Blade Rabbits, and other exotic beasts.

However, in the face of Chu Lingjun’s Electric Field and Discharge ability, these creatures were all turned into charcoal before they could even get within ten meters of Chu Lingjun’s body.

The lightning power was not bad at all. In less than an hour, Chu Lingjun had killed nearly 10 mutated beasts.

Chu Lingjun carried these mutated beasts to the nearest collection point. After counting them, Chu Lingjun saw that his name had directly shot up to the first place on the leaderboard.

Second place was Zhou Anqi.

In third place was the top student of Class One, Luo Chaoxiang. When Luo Chaoxiang first started school, he had 50 points of vitality. He was the student with the highest vitality in the grade and had a bright future in martial arts.

As the display area of the watch was limited, it only showed the top 50. Chu Lingjun took a look and found that Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi were also on the list.

Ding Peng was in 49th place and Chen Zhiqi was in 32nd place.

Chu Lingjun nodded and continued forward.

In a huge green tent, there were two huge electronic screens placed in the middle of the tent. One of them was the surveillance screen of the examinees, and the other was the ranking of the exam.

At this moment, Chu Lingjun was ranked first.

“It seems like Chu Lingjun, Zhou Anqi, and Luo Chaoxiang will be the champions of this monthly examination.”

“Seems so…”

A group of teachers looked at the screen in front of them and discussed, “However, I feel that Luo Chaoxiang from Class One has a higher chance of getting first place because of the boss on the top of the mountain. It might be more advantageous for him compared to Lingjun.”

“Chu Lingjun and Zhou Anqi are espers, so they’ll obviously have a disadvantage against that boss.”

“I think so too…”
