Chapter 165: Two More

For the next period of time, the human students reused this ploy over and over, either baiting their opponents in or searching the surroundings for Ferocious Race targets .

The Ferocious Race was completely out of luck .

Because they lacked an effective organized system, the Ferocious Race was always completely outnumbered, and they were captured in waves .

This made everyone extremely happy; they would have preferred to continue doing this over and over again .

Unfortunately, there were only so many Ferocious Race youths, and they were all spread out in the vast ruins . Finding them really wasn’t that easy .

In reality, killing them wasn’t extremely difficult, but finding the Ferocious Race youths took the most time .

Even with Zhao Xin’s eagle eye, finding these Ferocious Race youths still took a significant amount of time and energy .

In the first day of hunting, they managed to find six waves of Ferocious Race youths and succeeded four times, capturing a total of six Ferocious Race youths . The other two times, the Ferocious Race youths were alert enough and didn’t step into the trap .

Six more research specimens had appeared in Su Chen’s research lab . Once again, Su Chen felt excitement rising in his heart .

The second morning, however, the students ran into some trouble when trying to continue executing their plan .

This time, only a single Ferocious Race youth fell into the trap .

However, the opponent instantly discovered that something was wrong . Instead of retreating, he chose to attack!

His powerful offense caught everyone off guard . No one expected the opponent to be that decisive .

Only after he struck out did everyone realized that he was a damned Temple Warrior!

The Ferocious Race was really quite deceptive in this regard .

The only difference between a Temple Warrior and a regular Ferocious Race youth was that one had passed through the Origin Energy Temple . This would only result in a difference when using Origin Energy, and it was impossible to distinguish between a regular Ferocious Race youth and a Temple Warrior under normal circumstances .

Whether they had inscriptions on their faces or chose not to use weapons wasn’t an indicator of whether they were a Temple Warrior or not; that was only a matter of personal preference .

Before they attacked, no one knew whether a Ferocious Race youth was actually a Temple Warrior or not .

However, they were easier to identify on an actual battlefield . Temple Warriors usually wore a unique set of armor, but in this place, they were completely identical to the other Ferocious Race youths .

Thus, by the time everyone figured out that their “prey” was actually a Temple Warrior, he had already accomplished the one thing he could do: capture Yu Mengnan .

Yu Mengnan, who was ranked fifteenth, wasn’t weak in his own right . However, he wasn’t even able to last three moves against that Temple Warrior before he was captured . Ye Qiming’s eyes were red when the Temple Warrior placed his hand around Yu Mengnan’s throat .

After negotiating for a long time, they were forced to let that Ferocious Race youth go .

This was the first real setback they had experienced while executing their plan .

Afterward, they succeeded two more times, capturing four more Ferocious Race youths .

But on their fourth attempt, they ran into another problem .

This time, it was Danba .

Just before the targets were about to step into the trap, Danba suddenly appeared, warning his comrades of the plan and causing it to fail .

Most shockingly, he had completely avoided Zhao Xin’s detection .

He Yuandong had sent people to chase after Danba, but he had almost turned the tables on them . Duan Jiangshan had almost been seriously wounded or even killed .

He Yuandong knew that their hunting days were about to come to an end .

Indeed, in the following few ambushes, Danba constantly followed them around, ruining their plans a number of times . Even though He Yuandong tried to set up the teams to deal with Danba, that crafty guy was somehow always able to escape .

The number of Ferocious Race youths that escaped continued to increase, and the students’ successes became few and far between……

Within the research lab .

“So you mean to say that Danba ruined our plan once again?” Su Chen said calmly as he placed a kidney back into the Ferocious Race youth’s body and then sealed up the incision .

The Ferocious Race youth was still alive, but he seemed to have lost all of his senses, completely submissive to Su Chen’s actions .

Jiang Hanfeng glanced at the Ferocious Race youth, who had been dissected like a rag doll but just wouldn’t die, and gulped before replying, “This guy is really crafty . Zhao Xin can’t find any trace of him at all . ”

“Didn’t I tell Cloud Leopard to keep an eye on him?” Su Chen said as he carefully pulled back the Ferocious Race youth’s eyelids .

His careless attitude really made him seem like the boss of an underground gang .

The Ferocious Race youth’s pupils were about to turn white .

He was about to fold .

Su Chen pulled out a pen and a piece of paper, then began to write down, “Chillheart grass is confirmed to have additional effects on a Ferocious Race individual’s physique . The Numbing Medicine’s preliminary step is a success, but it has some slightly poisonous properties and still needs to be improved . When added to blood……”

Jiang Hanfeng replied, “Danba has a helper, another Temple Warrior . Cloud Leopard wasn’t able to deal with both of them on his own . ”

“Temple Warrior?” Su Chen froze . “The same one as last time?”

“No . ”

Su Chen stopped writing, his expression turning heavy .

He turned around to look at Jiang Hanfeng . “You said it’s not the same one?”

“Yes, it’s a fourth Temple Warrior, not within what we agreed upon,” Jiang Hanfeng said harshly . “Dammit, I knew that these Ferocious Race youths weren’t up to anything good . We agreed that they could only bring three Temple Warriors in, but they forcefully added a fourth . Who knows what method they used to pass the Origin Energy screening . ”

“There’s no point in thinking about that now . More importantly, if they were able to sneak an extra one in, they could have snuck in more!” Su Chen said heavily .

“Yes . That’s exactly what Leader thought, so he told me to come find you . ”

Su Chen understood . He turned around to glance at the Ferocious Race youth in front of him and said, “I will give you an answer soon . ”

————————————

Half an hour later, Su Chen walked out of his lab .

He wiped off the blood on his hands .

“How’d it go?” He Yuandong was already waiting outside .

“I managed to dig it out . There are a total of five Temple Warriors . The other two were snuck in by some secret concealment technique that their race possesses . Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to discover what that secret technique was . However, I don’t believe for a second that those Ferocious Race youths, with their unique temperament, can come up with something too clever . If they were able to trick the Long Sang army’s inspection, it’s likely because our side was too overconfident . But the cost should be quite high, which is why only two were able to make it . ”

A black line appeared on He Yuandong’s forehead . “You’re still in the mood to think about what their secret technique is?”

“Oh, sorry, that’s an occupational thing . But truthfully, I really didn’t expect those Ferocious Race bastards to pull off something this complicated . Now that there are two extra Temple Warriors, things have become much more complicated,” Su Chen sighed .

“That’s right . Who says that the Ferocious Race is dim-witted? It seems like each one is more cunning than the last,” Jiang Hanfeng said in frustration .

“That’s why people say that you suffer the most when you get tricked by someone who’s normally well-behaved,” Su Chen laughed .

“Right, those Ferocious Race youths are also becoming more alert and beginning to group up . Just now, they tried to organize a counterattack against us . If it weren’t for the fact that Cloud Leopard detected it, we might have all been killed . It looks like we’ll have to end our hunting ploy . What do you think we should do next?” He Yuandong asked .

Even though Su Chen wasn’t the leader, He Yuandong respected him immensely . They would always discuss any plans together before executing them .

“Looks like the good days are going to end soon,” Su Chen sighed .

In the past two days, the humans had captured a total of twelve Ferocious Race youths without losing a single person . This was quite an impressive accomplishment .

The Ferocious Race had been dealt a serious blow . Most importantly, the balance of power had shifted considerably . If they were to go into battle now, the humans wouldn’t be afraid of their opponents .

“Yes, the good days have already ended, and the time for picking isolated fights is also over . Next, we should probably plan on cracking open that mountain . ”

“Which also means that the all-out battle is about to begin,” Su Chen said .

Once they arrived at the ancient laboratory, the amount of open space would greatly decrease . The distance between the two groups would become almost nonexistent, setting the stage for a full-fledged battle .

“At this point, if we are to fight against the Ferocious Race, our efforts have really only leveled the playing field . We still don’t have a definite advantage if we fight all-out now,” He Yuandong said with some worry .

Killing more than ten Ferocious Race youths should have given them a huge advantage .

The appearance of two more Temple Warriors, however, had cut into their advantage quite significantly .

“This only makes it more interesting,” Su Chen laughed . “If we have the absolute advantage, would there be a point in fighting? In addition, the Ferocious Race youths aren’t idiots . If they really are at a disadvantage, they won’t make any rash moves . Instead, they’ll probably try and backstab us at any opportunity they can get; that would be even more frustrating . As long as they think that they can still win in an all-out fight, they’ll be willing to directly attack us . That’s the only way that they’ll continue to fall into our traps, not the other way around . ”

As Su Chen spoke, he began to squint .
