Firefly Journey

Chapter 226 Birds and Fish Take Different Paths (1)

"What do you mean? Do you have any ideas about that monster?" Lin Yuanran suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

What is he planning? Does he have designs on Kadona? Isn't that overthinking things?

The people present had all participated in the previous battle for Starkar to some extent and knew just how troublesome a demigod-level magical beast could be.

You actually have designs on them? Are you trying to eliminate them too quickly? You should know that besides competitors attacking each other, there are other ways to eliminate them.

That's an unexpected elimination.

These include, but are not limited to, dying of starvation, falling into water, etc., but the largest proportion of deaths are caused by being killed by the native monsters...

In the Myriad Realms, high-level magical beasts, which are rarely seen outside, are everywhere as if they were free. It is common for contestants with insufficient strength to be eliminated.

“No, I’m more interested in finding Finney right now,” Jamie said.

Lin Yuanran said, "I'm afraid it's too late."

"What do you mean?" Not only Jamie, but everyone else was also puzzled.

Lin Yuanran pointed to Kadona in the distance. Further away, it seemed as if a raging fire was pressing in.

"That is……"

The flames formed a wall of fire, moving slowly but steadily. From where the people stood, they couldn't see what lay behind the wall of fire.

"eager."

This thought crossed everyone's mind.

Whether it's the sudden appearance of Kadona, the burning and advancing wall of fire, or the relentless downpour, they all point to one thing.

The Vatican's leadership seems eager to end the match as quickly as possible.

“I still think we should play it safe,” Duan Feibai said.

“It’s not going to be stable at all. Kadona… is getting closer to us,” Lin Yuanran said.

Everyone was startled, but upon seeing the direction Kadona was heading, they had no choice but to believe it.

Since they entered, the monsters have rarely attacked the participants. But now... if the Holy See really wants to speed up the competition, then those monsters are probably the best catalyst.

If you don't hunt it, it will attack you, and sooner or later you'll have to fight.

Those who lack the necessary skills are often eliminated at this stage, leaving only the true geniuses to compete in the final round.

“I’ll listen to you, let’s go hunting Kadona,” Lu Hongxiu, who had been silent all along, suddenly said.

Duan Feibai frowned, but didn't say anything.

Jamie nodded. Until they found Finney, it didn't really matter what they did. Wendy, needless to say, did whatever Lin Yuanran did, completely disregarding the interests of "Mechanical Wings."

The rain is getting heavier.

Having made their decision, the group rushed towards Nakadon. As they drew closer, they were surprised to find that behind the wall of fire, nothing seemed to have happened; the rain had stopped, and everything was as peaceful and serene as before.

Until they saw with their own eyes that a contestant, unable to dodge in time, was swept across by the wall of fire and vanished instantly.

It turns out that once a contestant touches the fire wall, they will be forcibly eliminated.

As you can see, walls of fire surged in from all directions, constantly squeezing the living space within the Myriad Shells, until finally, not a single person remained.

Based on the current movement speed of the firewall, it will cover the entire competition area in seven or eight days at most.

This is so sudden! What exactly happened outside? Why is the Vatican so eager to end the match?

No one knows for sure; all we can do is let nature take its course.

The closer they got to Kadona, the more they noticed that more and more contestants were gathering around them, all seemingly interested in the monster.

It's both a good thing and a bad thing.

The advantage is that with so many people working together, it's not difficult to defeat a demigod-level monster. Previously, Nastakar was essentially worn down by a war of attrition.

The downsides are also obvious: more people mean more conflict, and in the chaos, most people are just cannon fodder.

A barely perceptible hint of sinister intent flashed in Lin Yuanran's eyes, unnoticed by anyone.

Most people are cannon fodder, but I have never been one of them since I came into this world.

I am different from those people.

……

……

Outside the training ground, the instructors and the audience were also bewildered by this sudden contrast between ice and fire.

There's still a month and a half until the agreed deadline, why are you in such a hurry?

But this is good, since it's not like I'm in it myself. The more conflict, the better. From the audience's perspective, the most important thing is to enjoy watching it.

Class 63 remained in attendance, and Class 29 was also present.

Besides Sabrina, who was eliminated by Locke due to inferior skills, Hauglis and Paninger were also eliminated.

Hauglis was eliminated second only to Sabrina because of his fiery temper and tendency to confront people head-on.

As for Paninger, she was simply outmatched. During a competition for materials, she encountered Ding Sheng of the Black and White Academy. Even though she managed to activate a trace of dragon blood, she was still no match for him.

With their teacher Cassius nowhere to be seen, the three of them, having nothing else to do, decided to come and watch the match.

Among the many images, one stands out in particular.

Wind Chime, who had disappeared for many days, regained the favor of the Holy See, and her image was placed in the very center of the scene.

From start to finish, it only took a short five minutes.

Five minutes ago, the dragon, which was on par with Starkar and Kadon, arrogantly spread its wings and spewed flames at the earth.

Five minutes later, the light in its pupils went out, turning into deathly silence. Its dragon body was covered with scars, marks left by the bombardment of lightning.

A demigod-level magical beast, wiped out in an instant; she once again shattered everyone's understanding.

When did demigod-level monsters become so fragile? How can a 16-year-old girl possess such monstrous combat power?

Sabrina and her two classmates were both surprised and delighted, because with her there, St. Louis taking first place was practically a sure thing.

On the mentors' panel, the extraordinary individuals, led by Relocat, were all impressed by Fengling's grand gesture and exclaimed that the younger generation was truly formidable, and that given time, he would definitely surpass everyone present.

No, it has already surpassed some of them.

Which mentor could so easily perform a miracle and annihilate a demigod beast?

While everyone was surprised and amazed, only Bennett, the leader of the Dark Temple, who was "in a coma," was leisurely and smug. His expression was even happier than Margarita of St. Louis. If you didn't know better, you would think that this was his prodigy.

The saintess's power indicates a bright future for the temple, and as a loyal follower of the goddess of darkness, how could he not be pleased?

The wind chime's killing of Li Long had little impact on her condition; it only left her clothes slightly dirty.

She didn't have time to change, because she had already realized the meaning behind the sudden appearance of the firewall and the heavy rain.

She strode forward and began to run through the heavy rain.

It's time for this competition to end. She should leave Yicheng and the Xu family to do her own thing.

"Where is she going?" Hauglis asked.

Sabrina, who knew her personality better, smiled faintly and said:

"One Lilong is probably not enough to satisfy her appetite. Isn't there another Kadon over there? And according to her plan, she will probably eliminate a large number of contestants in the process."

“Kadona…” Paninger’s eyes lit up as he looked at the other live feeds. “Ario is there, Allen is on his way, and there’s also Mochi!”
