Chapter 1324: 1324
Jiang Fei suppressed his power and approached the campfire with the lightest steps he could take . When he was close enough, he hid behind a larger tree and peeked . There were five of them, sitting around the campfire, with their guards lowered .
These five looked familiar . Jiang Fei recognized all of them as they were all graduating trainees .
“Should I greet them…?” He asked himself . They were not from Ottogackt’s class .
“Hmph? Is someone there?”
“I see him . Isn’t that the trainee that was late to the ceremony?”
“You can come out now! We all saw you!”
…
Whether it was his own weakness or the strength of those five, Jiang Fei’s presence was discovered and he had to move out of the darkness and into the light .
“Come along now,” said the one with a crocodile head, a Decronian .
“I… Okay…”
Jiang Fei gave up and listened . It would only be rude, not to mention embarrassing for him, to leave when they had already noticed him .
He took the liberty to sit on an open seat close to the raging fire . The one that had called out to him, the Decronian, seemed to be the leader of the group . The Decronian was famed to be the strongest even amongst the army ranks .
“Greetings . I’m Bacca,” said the Decronian first .
“I’m Jiang Fei,” Jiang Fei introduced himself plainly .
“These here are my teammates . That’s Luna, Dodge, Mingsk, Waxus,” said Bacca as he introduced the others .
“Hello,” said Luna . She was a female bunny girl . Although she looked rather plain, her long, luscious legs made her stand out amongst the others .
Ronalbenian
Combat Level: 350,000
Note: A race dominant of the planet Robalbee . They are but only average in terms of power . Female Robalbenians are extremely suited to be secretaries .
Based on the readings of the scope, the girl’s combat level was only average . Because of the information given to him by the scope, Jiang Fei could only lower his expectations of her race . Then again, he had thought of the girl to be more than just a secretary . Her legs might be seductive but any martial artists knew better than to judge a person based on their appearance . Those legs of hers might actually be able to break his ribs .
“How are you alone?” asked Dodge . He was the only… being that was different than the others . While the rest had a certain humanoid appearance, he was just a lump of green slime .
Slime
Combat Level: 480,000
Note: A peculiar species . While most of them are blobs of conscious liquid, only a few gained a high level of intelligence and power . Besides fire, nothing could kill them .
“Heh . Must be my looks,” said Jiang Fei, shrugging it off . He could not take his eyes off Dodge as he had never seen anything like him before; a gathering of greenish liquid that could talk and think without visible organs .
Mingsk and Waxus were brothers and they were almost identical to humans . The only difference was their eyes . Unlike human eyes, theirs were just plain white without any discernible iris .
Alderaanian
Combat Level 450,000, 550,000 .
Note: Beings of Alderaan are strong in psychic ability . They are always able to take control of other beings with weaker mental strength .
The brothers were quiet and only nodded when Jiang Fei turned to look at them .
“Jiang Fei, did you get your weapon?” Bacca straightforwardly asked . Based on the rumors that Jiang Fei had only over 120,000 combat level, it was obvious that the question was enveloped with sneer and sarcasm .
“Ugh… I had it and I lost it…” said Jiang Fei truthfully . There was no use in hiding it since he had nothing to show for it anyway .
“I understand what you’re going through . All we can do now is to wait until all weapons have been discovered and for the start of the second mission,” said the slime .
“Don’t mind us . Please continue the conversation as we cook,” said Mingsk while Waxus was busy spinning a boar-like creature on a stick atop the campfire .
“I say, Jiang Fei . You’re in luck! Alderaanians make the best roasted meat! No one else could enjoy such an authentic experience!” said Bacca as saliva dripped from the tip of his jaw . Such behavior was only expected from aliens with beast-like instincts . If Jiang Fei had done that and toward Luna the bunny girl, it would definitely be sexual harassment! Fortunately, he was only slightly disgusted .
As the conversation shifted toward casual topics, the brothers finished cooking and Jiang Fei helped himself to a piece of boar leg . Before gobbling it down like a savage, Jiang Fei made sure to ask 0541 to examine it through the scope to make sure it was edible .
The roasted meat was surprisingly delicious . Jiang Fei had never been so hungry for more alien meat . As he licked his fingers clean, the sun had set and the skies were littered with stars from nearby galaxies . The forest was dark and was only illuminated by starlight through the canopy of leaves .
“Leader, won’t the light of the fire attract others?” Luna asked, worriedly .
“I’ve made it so, purposely . None of us had acquired a weapon . By attracting unwanted visitors, we might actually lure in one that carries a weapon . We’ll kill whoever holds the weapon and be done with it,” said Bacca without much of a flinch .
Jiang Fei choked a little when he heard Bacca’s plan . No wonder he had so straightforwardly asked Jiang Fei about having a Primordial Weapon . If he did, the group of five might have attacked him! The weapon had been created through a special method that even storing it in the ring’s inventory would not leave its wave energy undetected . No wonder Bacca had been so trusting with Jiang Fei; he had no Primordial Weapons on him!
Be it as if may, Bacca was still friendly, speaking with Jiang Fei . Then again, he had ulterior motives of his own . If he and Jiang Fei could graduate together, Jiang Fei could at least introduce him to a certain someone supporting him .
“Primordial Weapons are not for all . By luck, you might find one . Without it, one might be eliminated through the second trial . It seems that the weapons play a key role in surviving the next mission,” said Mingsk in an attempt to lighten the mood for not owning a weapon then .
“You might be right . Dodge, you take the first shift . The rest of you should get some rest,” said Bacca, changing the topic quickly .
“Sure thing,” said Dodge before he left the campfire . The next moment, something happened that made Jiang Fei almost pee his pants .
Dodge had expanded from being just a pole with arms into a large balloon before exploding into countless pieces!
Splat… Splat… Splat…
The smaller green pieces moved about, crawling slowly toward all directions .
“Surprised? Haha . I have no idea what they are but the Slime species are miracle workers . They can split into countless pieces with a mind of their own . If they were destroyed, their consciousness will join the other pieces, sharing any information . In any situation, if a single piece survives, it would regrow back into a full being . Hard to kill, they are! I see them as the best scout!” said Bacca, laughing at Jiang Fei’s comical reaction .
