Chapter 1328: Magneto Florp

“What ritual? They’re just a bunch of fish surrounding Jiang Fei . Don’t waste your time thinking about this sort of thing,” Caylan chimed in abruptly to shift the topic . He knew that Jiang Fei must have done something to lure all the fish away from them to himself . He had helped them and all he could do in return was to not question his method . After all, he was the famed V . I . P . . Nothing good would come from asking too many questions .

“So it seems, let us not dwell too long here . Caylan, brief us about the island,” Bacca joined in, shifting the attention away from Jiang Fei . At that moment, both of them shared the same thought; Jiang Fei was not as simple as he looked . He might be a weak fighter but he possessed something that would help him in the trial, perhaps a powerful tool or weapon that was prohibited . Nevertheless, they would not want to purposely, or accidentally, expose his true self .

“Very well . Listen close for what I’m about to say will save your life,” Caylan started to explain .

The first time Caylan and his team came to the island, they returned to the other side of the lake with a few casualties . During entry, their numbers were lesser than the current group . The amount of Devils of the Lake they had managed to disturb was not as many as this time, allowing them to cross the lake safe and sound . The real nightmare started as soon as they set foot on the island . Danger lurked at every turn and not a single team member managed to reach the altar before suffering major or fatal wounds .

The first hurdle was the beach . There, hidden in the fine grains of sand, were little crabs that had not enough strength to pose real harm . However, like their counterparts, do not just stay quiet when threatened . They could not damage anyone but they do an amazing job annoying people .

After the beach would be the reef region . There, something odd had happened . The magnetic field around large cliffs and reefs were insanely unstable . In the next step, the gravitational pull might be 10 times less than that of Earth, and in the next step, it was 10 times that of Redstone . The fluctuation of gravity and magnetic field prove to be a challenge as simply walking was no easy task . In such an environment, swinging a sword, or simply throwing a punch would be an issue . Even in such an environment, there were life forms that lived and thrived, and that was the Magneto Florp .

A Magneto Florp was a kind of elemental life form that survived only within a high magnetic field . As such, they were strong in nature, possessing at least 300,000 combat level at their prime . Some could even reach 500,000 combat level . In their natural habitat, they would roam in groups . As such, it would take a strong group to breach through their territory .

Thankfully, there was a way to defeat them . These florps never leave their home . As long as one could outrun them, they would return back to their territory . Caylan and his group suffered with the loss of two fallen comrades in the reef when they had chosen to fight head-on instead of outrunning them . The two fallen comrades were rescued from the simulation and were removed from the trial .

The beach and the reefs were the only two regions Caylan and his group had managed to pass . After the reefs, they had decided to use aerial travel . However, as soon as they took flight, they encountered the invisible barrier and were instantly teleported to the starting point; the other side of the lake .

“I see…” Bacca acknowledged . Right now, they had just passed the first hurdle and were standing on the beach . Fortunately, there were no signs of the crabs .

“What did you say about the beach again? Wasn’t there supposed to be crabs?” Dodge asked as he jiggled about, like soft pudding . That was how he walked and it made Jiang Fei feel somewhat itchy on the inside .

As soon as Dodge asked about the missing crabs, the beach started to move . Thousands of tiny protrusions appeared and revealed thousands of crabs, roughly the size of a baby’s fist .

Tidehunter Crab

Combat Level: 4,000

Note: Great taste . Preferably steamed or boiled .

“Heh . Must taste great for that to be included in the footnote,” said Jiang Fei to himself after reading the intriguing note about the crabs .

Even though the Tidehunter Crab was only a tad different from the ones on Earth, Jiang Fei was not in the mood for a feast . There were just too many of them then and walking over the beach was just… annoying .

“Thank god I don’t have any kind of phobia! Sheesh! I can only imagine what those people would have to go through,” said Jiang Fei to himself as he stepped on one of the crabs and crushed it .

“Do your best to ignore them . They won’t do anything to you . Walk over them instead . Don’t waste your energy here . It’s useless to kill them all,” said Caylan, speaking with experience . Clearly, he and his team had wasted a great amount of time trying to exterminate the crabs, only to find that it was a wasted effort .

“Move on,” Bacca ordered . The “weakest” trainee then was Jiang Fei and since there was no threat to him, there was nothing to be worried about .

“Get a move on, quick!” Caylan cried out and led everyone toward the reef . Jiang Fei did not bother to say anything but followed obediently .

From his point of view then, the beach was large and long . Even though the island was in the middle of a lake, it was still larger than presumed . They ran at a general pace for about 20 minutes before they stopped encountering crabs . Once they left their habitat, the crabs did not bother to chase after them .

“The reef is just ahead . Keep an eye out . The florps are dangerous,” said Caylan as he threw a quick glance at Jiang Fei . He was hinting at Bacca that Jiang Fei would only be a liability if he were to follow them into the reef .

Even though his performance in the lake was outstanding, his combat level was still being greatly underestimated . From where they stood, Jiang Fei was just as useful as a trophy on a shelf . Even so, they had to make sure that no harm was to befall him .

“How about you wait here for a bit? We’ll go first to scout the region,” Bacca told Jiang Fei . He was in sync with Caylan and could not agree more about him being a liability instead of an asset . Even so, he was special and cannot be harmed .

“I’ll be more than happy to wait!” said Jiang Fei with a smile . He had no intention to fight with the others . He would only act if they were incapable of continuing on with the trial .

“Much obliged,” Bacca said, sighing a breath of relief before turning to Caylan and giving him a certain look . They were both afraid that Jiang Fei would insist on joining them into the reef and they would have to spend more energy protecting him .

Fortunately, Jiang Fei was “more than happy” to stay behind . Thus, granting Bacca and Caylan the confidence to fight the Florps without anything holding them back .
