Chapter 129: Chapter 128: League Match 14, Backlash Pursuit

Wen Zong spread bounty missions everywhere. It wouldn’t be excessive for her to spread a little rumor, right?

Speaking of coincidences, they bumped into Wen Zong and Chen Erhu’s team right away.

Qu Tong gave a sweet smile.

"What do you think you’re doing? We’re from the same military school, after all," Wen Zong asked, shrinking back.

Wen Zong’s team had previously encountered a level five Star Beast, losing one person and eliminating another, leaving only eight people who were now being surrounded and huddled together.

"Now you remember we’re from the same military school? Too late," Cheng Yao swung a punch at Wen Zong’s face, immediately causing two streams of nosebleed.

"You’re despicable! Ganging up on the few!" Chen Erhu shouted.

"So what if we’re ganging up?" Chen Erhu, of course, also couldn’t escape a good beating from Fei Wenxing.

Compared to the bruised and swollen Wen Zong and Chen Erhu, their other teammates who only had their Space Buttons pressed were much luckier.

"We, Brother Ye, please spare us, we’ll let you go," Chen Erhu pleaded indistinctly from the ground.

"Oh, still got some energy left, huh? Take another one! Eat my foot!"

Wen Zong and Chen Erhu’s other teammates trembled uncontrollably, daring not to utter a word.

After venting their anger and racking up some points, Qu Tong and her companions set off on the road again.

Because of the rumors, Qu Tong’s team encountered a brief lull, and the number of teams they met along the way decreased.

Qu Tong took Mi Nuo and found two level five Star Beasts and three level three Star Beasts. With Mi Nuo’s help, it saved much more time dealing with the Star Beasts.

Mi Nuo didn’t care about the 100 points. The extra level three Star Beast was generously given to Qu Tong.

After all, if it weren’t for Qu Tong, their team couldn’t possibly have reached third place.

Qu Tong’s team also rose to fifth place.

Together with the points from eliminating other teams, in just a day and a half, Qu Tong’s team had gained 3860 points, bringing their total to 10760 points.

This made everyone in the team extremely happy, especially Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao, who were grinning ear to ear all day long.

Qu Tong looked at Song Ke, the only one whose smile didn’t reach her eyes, but Qu Tong chose not to expose her.

However, this happiness did not last long.

The changes in the rankings, the disqualification of Chen Erhu and Wen Zong, along with the encounters between Wen Qing and Lan Xingye, destabilized the situation once more.

Even with Mi Nuo’s protection, the situation was extremely dangerous, to the point that Rong Yueqing and a teammate from Mi Nuo’s team were directly eliminated.

There wasn’t even time to comfort Rong Yueqing before they had to hastily flee for their lives.

As night fell, bathed in the dim glow of firelight, Qu Tong stared at the slender wound on the back of her hand.

Although it was a minor wound that would heal in two or three days, beads of blood kept dropping down from her fingertips like pearls off a broken string, with no sign of stopping.

She had accidentally been cut with an opponent’s dagger during the fight.

The competition prohibited hot weapons but allowed cold weapons as long as they fit inside the Space Button.

Qu Tong sprinkled the pale green powder on the wound and wrapped it up twice with the gauze, tying a knot single-handedly.

Under her slightly furrowed lashes, her emotions were unreadable.

So this is how you want to play?

Both Mi Nuo and Xu An had also suffered various degrees of injuries.

Qu Tong shared her medicinal powder with them.

"Give it to your team, I have my own," Mi Nuo said as she took out the same kind of hemostatic powder and gauze from her Space Button and handed them to her teammates.

From 10 pm until 6 am the next day was a ceasefire period, a rare chance for them to catch a breath.

"That was seriously intense, it’s my first time being chased by so many people," Fei Wenxing said, wrapping his gauze and still shaken.

"Have they gone completely nuts? Lan Xingye is seriously ill," Cheng Yao couldn’t help but complain.

"Little sister, what’s the beef between you and Lan Xingye?" Xu An asked puzzledly.

Qu Tong laughed lightly, "I merely snubbed him twice, that’s all."

To be honest, Qu Tong’s identity wasn’t really at deep odds with Lan Xingye; perhaps it was just that Lan Xingye had an overly petty heart and couldn’t stand being slighted.

It seems that the benefits promised for going out this time are quite substantial.

"Perhaps it also has to do with me and Fei Cui," Cheng Yao quietly mentioned.

"There’s also the reason of you guys having beat up Wen Zong and Chen Erhu before," He Zhou added.

"Allying with you this time really cost me a lot!" Mi Nuo expressed painfully.

For the sake of covering the retreat, her mecha repair costs were a considerable expense.

"Given the special circumstances, I’ll add one for you," Qu Tong said.

The moment Mi Nuo heard that, her smile bloomed like a chrysanthemum, "That’s a deal."

The others were bewildered. One what?

Only Xu An had a rough idea of what it might be.

Seeing the others looking curiously, Xu An spoke up to shift everyone’s attention.

"What’s the plan moving forward?"

He was asking Qu Tong, and everyone else for that matter.

"There’s one last day, and with today’s situation, trying to scrape by until the end looks difficult."

"Lan Xingye and his people are dead set on eliminating us."

"And there’s Wen Qing from the Second Military Academy, who’s also quite a handful," Mi Nuo added.

"Just the power of their influence alone is already significant."

Everyone sighed and turned their gazes toward Qu Tong.

Unconsciously, even Mi Nuo’s team began to subconsciously seek Qu Tong’s opinion.

After pondering for a moment, Qu Tong spoke, "Of course, we need to find allies."

Lan Xingye had made such a big effort; she certainly had to return the favor properly.

"Who are we looking for?" Fei Wenxing was the first to voice everyone’s question.

"If we come across Xie Ci’s group, we could try to win them over," Song Ke suggested.

"What about Qu Tianzhang from the Third Military Academy? Isn’t he your cousin? He’s also a leading figure at that academy, with considerable clout," Mi Nuo proposed.

At those words, Qu Tong laughed.

"Him? It would be good if he doesn’t join Lan Xingye in opposing us."

"Just before, Sister Tong knocked out Qu Tianzhang’s own sister, eliminating her from the competition," Cheng Yao chimed in.

"...Princess Consort, you’ve really offended quite a number of people!"

Mi Nuo felt incredibly conflicted.

Offending the leading figures of three major military academies out of five, no wonder they were targeted.

She wondered what kind of troublesome ship she had boarded!!

"It’s not like my sister personally offended them; we just have different stances," Xu An defended Qu Tong.

"Understood, understood," Mi Nuo nodded, feeling disheartened.

"I need your cooperation on something," Qu Tong said, mainly looking at Mi Nuo and her teammates.

"Go ahead."

After all, they were now grasshoppers on the same string.

Qu Tong hesitated for a moment, then, after making sure the live broadcast sphere was turned off, she took out a green potion from the Space Button and distributed five vials to each person.

Under the puzzled gaze of Mi Nuo and the others, Qu Tong slowly explained:

"This is the Energy Liquid I got from Miss Ali; it can recover 25% of your spiritual power and 25% of your physical strength, with no side effects and no usage limits. Use as you see fit; we might have a tough battle to face tomorrow."

After Qu Tong finished speaking, everyone except for Xu An and He Zhou had eyes wide as copper bells.

"Are you serious, Sister Tong?" Fei Wenxing asked incredulously.

"If you don’t believe it, you can give it to me," Song Ke jumped in.
