Starting With 3 S-Class Talents
Chapter 160 - Finding a Companion and Planning a CounterattackChapter 160: Finding a Companion and Planning a Counterattack
A new day had arrived. Vincent reached the valley of a snowy mountain. The biting cold wind that was as sharp as a blade made it difficult for him to even raise his head. He could only lower his head and move forward against the wind.
Suddenly, Vincent noticed that a piece of snow under his feet had been flipped over. It seemed to have been formed by humans or animals. He could not help but crouch down quickly to check. However, when his finger pierced into the snow, a sense of danger welled up in his heart. Suddenly, he raised his hand.
Ding!
Immediately after Vincent pulled out his finger, a pure steel beast trap popped out from under the snow. Vincent fiercely bit into the trap in front of him.
Vincent caught the beast trap and observed it with great excitement.
There was no such standard beast trap in Beast World. Only human superpowered users would bring it for self-defense purposes when they went on missions in the wild!
Vincent was almost certain that these were left behind by his teammates!
“Angelina, Teacher Chris must be nearby!”
Vincent stood up excitedly and looked around. He wanted to continue searching for traces of his teammates’ activities.
However, to his disappointment, other than this trap that had been buried for a long time, there were no other traces of them around. There were not even any footprints showing that they came to check the trap.
It seemed that this was just an abandoned hunting trap, and the person who had set the trap had already left.
Vincent picked up a handful of snow with both hands and rubbed it on his face. Looking at the deep Snow Valley ahead, he took a deep breath and continued to move forward.
However, after walking for a while, Vincent did not find any traces of humans. The hope that had just been ignited was once again on the verge of collapsing.
When Vincent realized that the road ahead had been completely blocked by the snowy mountains, he had no choice but to lower his head dejectedly.
However, at that moment, an inspiration instantly surged into Vincent’s mind.
Since the only traces of humans in the valley were the beast traps, then only the vicinity of the beast traps could be within the range of human activity.
Moreover, in such a resource-poor Snowy Valley, even if the beast traps did not catch any prey, they should be recovered in time!
The beast trap had not been retrieved. There was only one possibility, and that was for it to be used as camouflage and buried near the real residence of the humans. This way, the pursuers would not be able to make a real decision!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVincent was extremely excited at that moment. He subconsciously touched his hairy tiger head and immediately canceled his transformation skill. He returned to his true human appearance and quickly turned around to run.
In a cave halfway up the mountain in the middle of the Snow Valley, five haggard-looking humans were sitting quietly around a bonfire. They were the individuals that Vincent had been searching for.
“This morning, a monster with a tiger’s head and a human’s body discovered our trap and went into the depths of the Snow Valley!” said Swire with a tired face.
Nabil continued, “The end of the valley is closed. That monster will definitely come back. If we don’t want to expose our tracks, we can’t go out to look for food today! Unfortunately, the snow rats that I can catch under the snow layer are decreasing. They are almost extinct these days. If Swire can’t fly out to look for birds in the valley, we will starve again!”
Angelina and Avril looked at each other, their eyes filled with bitterness. In such an extreme environment, they could only sacrifice a small amount of food for the team.
As a teacher, Teacher Chris looked at the bonfire calmly and said slowly, “Can you determine the strength of that monster?”
Swire thought for a moment and said, “Judging from the speed of his movements, it’s about the strength of a lord!”
Teacher Chris let out a sigh of relief. She stood up and said to the others, “We’ve been hiding in the Snow Valley for the past few days, and we’ve been starving in exchange for an efficient cultivation speed. We should be able to surround and kill a lord-class monster!”
After hearing that, everyone stood up and was prepared to fight.
Perhaps if they killed the tiger-headed monster, they would be able to find something on its body!
When they walked out of the sanctuary, they saw a figure running from the depths of the Snow Valley. However, it was not a tiger-headed monster, but a living person.
Swire frowned and said in surprise, “He… he is a human!”
The more attentive Nabil said excitedly, “Did you notice that this figure is somewhat familiar!”
Angelina, who was standing in front of the group, was already in tears. She cried out involuntarily, “Vincent! He’s Vincent!”
Before she even finished speaking, Angelina had already rushed down the cliff and towards the figure that was coming over.
“Vincent!”
Angelina kept wiping away the blurry tears in her eyes as she shouted loudly.
Vincent, who was rushing over, heard the familiar call and was incomparably excited. He sped up and went forward to hug Angelina tightly in his arms!
Finally, he had reunited with his teammates. They had not seen each other for a long time!
“Vincent, I missed you so much!”
Angelina buried her head in Vincent’s chest and sobbed.
“All of you have suffered. I came back late!”
Vincent comforted Angelina while looking at his other teammates who had rushed over.
Everyone’s eyes met and they all nodded emotionally. The feeling of being reunited with their good friends and the joy they felt was unspoken.
Avril bit her lower lip. At that moment, she also wanted to go up and give Vincent a hug, but she still suppressed the impulse.
Teacher Chris was rather touched and said, “This is not a place to talk. Let’s talk when we get back!”
The group of people who had reunited returned to the cave on the mountainside. Vincent took out the food that he kept on his body and distributed it to everyone.
As they gobbled up their food, they asked Vincent about what had happened during this period of time.
Vincent told them about his experience and the news that Chris was not in danger at that moment.
While being thrilled, they also told Vincent about their experiences.
After being separated in the Black Hole, they had fallen on the periphery of Flying Snow Wilderness when they woke up. Additionally, they were besieged by a large number of beasts. Chris was captured in order to cover their retreat.
As for those who escaped to the deep part of Flying Snow Wilderness, they barely survived with the small amount of food collected by Nabil and Swire with their superpowers.
However, it was a blessing in disguise. As they were trapped in the deep part of Flying Snow Wilderness, their cultivation speed had greatly improved. All the students had reached special-class. As a teacher, Chris was about to break through to a lord-class superpowered user.
“I’ve not imagined that Vincent is already a lord-class superpowered user. Even Teacher Chris is behind you!” said Swire with envy and helplessness.
Vincent patted Angelina’s back gently as he said to the others, “With our current strength, we’re far from enough. The Beast Race is about to face great chaos. We must take the opportunity to improve our cultivation base so as to complete our plan!”
Nabil said with some self-mockery, “God-killing plan? As you said, the Beast Race’s experts are all above level 20, and our strength is only at the level of a level five creature. How long will it take to kill the Beast King here?”
Vincent smiled and said, “Actually, we don’t need to kill the Beast King, because the previous Beast King is about to return. If we can help the Beast King recover, we can achieve our goal!”
Vincent then shared the matter of the Bear King and Gajero with everyone. He made it clear that the mastermind behind everything was Gajero. He was the one who was trying to conquer all the worlds!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce they help the Bear King regain control of the Beast Race, they would have to shut down all the Black Holes that led to the outside world to prevent Gajero from returning.
“Great! Then what should we do now?” asked everyone.
Everyone suddenly had confidence and asked for Vincent’s opinion together.
Vincent looked towards the periphery of the wilderness and said, “Let’s go with the flow and reap the benefits!”
Under Vincent’s arrangement, everyone soon received their respective missions. After resting for a while, they set off on their journey again.
In Flying Snow Castle, Mosshull looked at the army that was ready to set off and felt slightly more at ease, he turned around and said to Principal Jace beside him, “All the members in Flying Snow Castle have passed the Bear King bloodline detector. No one has any problems. Then, only your student is the most suspicious!”
Principal Jace calmly said, “Lord Mosshull is overthinking it. My student is the most outstanding young man in War School, the future hope of the beasts. How could he be a spy?”
Mosshull said coldly, “The hope of the beasts will always be Lord Gajero! Any suspicious person must be strictly investigated. If he dares to return, I will give him a chance to be examined. But if he doesn’t return, then you and the entire War School will be held responsible!”
“Fine!”
Principal Jace did not feel threatened by Mosshull. Instead, he agreed confidently.
Mosshull sneered as he turned around and looked at the deep part of Flying Snow Wilderness. Closely after that, he became stunned.
Vincent, who had been away for over half a month, had returned. He was holding a rope with five humans tied behind him as he slowly walked back!
“He, he really came back!”
Mosshull became confused once again as he sighed with a complex look.
After seeing the scene, Principal Jace could not help but say proudly, “Students of War School are so excellent!”
Mosshull walked forward with a disdainful look as he pointed at Vincent and shouted, “Stop! Where have you been these days? Do you know that there’s a spy in the Flying Snow Castle? Did you run away secretly because of a guilty conscience?”
Vincent looked at Mosshull with an innocent look as he raised the rope in his hand and said, “Lord Mosshull, what are you talking about? I applied to my teacher to catch humans in the Flying Snow Wilderness. How could you say that I escaped?”
“I think you’re stubborn!” said Mosshull coldly.
Vincent did not panic at all. Instead, he asked him calmly, “Since you said there’s a spy, then you must have seen a spy. I want to ask you, is the spy you saw, me?”
“You!”
Mosshull looked at Vincent speechlessly. This was because he could not say that the spy was actually from the snow wolf tribe!
