Chapter 92 The Runaway King Xia Zhi
The race of West Asia is full of handsome men and beautiful women, and they are known for their obsession with appearance.
Could she allow Titián, a face-slapping enthusiast, to beat up her student?
The dolls' doubts were dispelled by Pei Hening's combat skills; Titien must be coming to teach her!
It's a pity we didn't get to see the trainees with bruises and swelling.
Pei Hening was unaware that the group of dolls were plotting against her behind her back. At this moment, she was dealing with the vines while running towards the path that was not yet occupied by them.
The Vine Maze, as the name suggests, is a maze. There are two ways to pass it: one is to pass it by following the rules of the maze; the other is to dismantle it, but there is a prerequisite: your strength must be greater than the creature that set up the maze.
Pei Hening only had one way to clear the level: follow the maze's rules meticulously and avoid combat as much as possible to save time for clearing the level.
After an unknown amount of time, when Pei Hening broke through the encirclement of the demonic vines once again, she vaguely sensed the hidden rules of the maze. Every twenty minutes, it would change the correct path of the maze and add a dead end and a fork in the road.
Twenty minutes is the key to her success in clearing the maze!
She quickly downed a bottle of healing potion and a bottle of fatigue-relieving potion, and continued running down the path that looked most like the correct one.
Sicily is not one to do things in vain; what was her purpose in deliberately setting up the vine maze?
Pei Hening turned her head to look at the vines that were rushing towards her like evil spirits, and she seemed to understand.
Is the theme of this lesson going to be—escaping for your life?
823786 had played the Vine Maze countless times and always cleared it quickly. However, after his strength was suppressed to the same level as Pei Hening, he clearly felt that the difficulty of this Vine Maze had increased significantly. In fact, the original vines had been replaced with demonic vines.
Using its previous experience and rich combat and escape skills, it quickly emerged from the vine maze.
Pei Hening had also guessed how to escape the maze; she had a skill called "[I'm not in pain, but I have to go]".
[I'm not in pain, but I have to go] (Rank B): Injured? Who's injured? I'm not in pain, but I have to go. After use, you can specify and teleport to any location you've been to within the past three hours. Costs 20 mana points, cooldown: 30 minutes.
Pei Hening even thought she had cheated and her completion speed was definitely faster than 823786.
When she looked up, she found 823786 surrounded by the group of puppets around her water screen, openly cricketing at her.
"823786, all the students know to use movement skills, why aren't you using them?"
"My strength is suppressed; 98% of my skills are sealed and unusable."
"823786, I have a feeling that in the next round, the student will definitely pass the level faster than you!"
"Does anyone know what skill the trainee is using? How can they escape so easily?"
"I don't know, this is the first time I've seen it."
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be that B-level skill. I'm not in pain, but I have to go."
"Xia Zhi's initial skill as the escape queen? She actually copied this skill and gave it to others to learn and use."
"It's her, but didn't she choose the wrong learner? The student doesn't seem like a coward who would run away if she couldn't win."
Pei Hening stared blankly as the group of puppets pointed and whispered at her, then looked at Xixia: "Teacher, shall we continue?"
Sicily cast a healing spell on her and looked at the lively group of puppets.
823786's pair of dark, beady eyes blinked, and it nodded at Xixia.
"Okay, let's continue."
Sicily threw them back into the vine maze, but this time she focused her attention on the water screen in the maze where Pei Hening was.
She hadn't realized before that her students had actually learned Xia Zhi's initial talent skill.
Speaking of which, she had run into that sneaky guy a few times. Every time they clashed, he would slip away as soon as he stepped on the ground, and the worst part was that she couldn't catch him!
Pei Hening made good use of the thirty-minute skill cooldown time to practice all the fighting techniques, dodging techniques, and even escape techniques taught by Xixia and others, and used the skills at the right time.
She came out again full of confidence, and immediately saw 823786 standing under the water screen. The smile on her face instantly froze.
She was certain she hadn't wasted a single moment; she simply hadn't stacked any skill cooldowns.
It only took thirty minutes, yet it still couldn't catch up with 823786?
Pei Hening: I know you're strong, but can you not be so strong?
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...
She managed to beat 823786 by minimizing the cooldown time of "[I'm not in pain, but I have to go]".
The bald little doll nodded at her with satisfaction: "Barely passed, now you're free to do your own thing."
——
Pei Hening came down from the floating island and spent a while in the lounge digesting today's events before suddenly realizing that she had forgotten to check out the excitement surrounding 823786!
When she left the floating island, it was still inside the vine maze...
Pei Hening felt a slight regret for a moment, then tidied up and pushed open the door to the lounge.
What came into view was a handsome, exquisitely-looking alien with a blue afro and a height of 1.7 meters.
She wore a blue magic robe made of a special material, embroidered with various marine vegetation patterns, and adorned with pearls and gemstones. She also had a very distinctive appearance, with a row of beautiful scales extending from her eyebrows to her temples, which were stunning in the light. Her ears were also unique, resembling fish fins.
When those blue, almost black eyes looked over, Pei Hening had the illusion of being stared at by a large carnivore, but she was certain that the person in front of her meant her no harm; it was just a casual glance.
This is—Red Snow?
Are you here to block the bottle?
With that thought in mind, Pei Hening looked away and continued walking out.
She guessed that something interesting was about to happen, but it wasn't something she should watch.
She had only taken two steps when she heard Chi Xue speak: "You know me?"
Pei Hening didn't stop walking. Chi Xue flashed in front of her and looked her up and down curiously: "What race are you? This is the first time I've seen you. Who is your teacher?"
The other party kept throwing out questions, and Pei Hening didn't know which one to answer for a moment.
Pei Hening thought for a moment, then, like Chi Xue, threw out a bunch of questions: "I didn't know you before, but now I guessed it. You're Chi Xue from the Haiyuan Clan, right? How many members of your clan come to the school? I heard you just had a duel with the Jiangshuang Clan students and won? Why did you have a duel? Was it because of some friction? Or did you simply want to compare your strengths?"
Chi Xue was dumbfounded and subconsciously took two steps back. She hadn't expected anyone to be able to throw out so many questions at once; she couldn't handle them at all.
Seeing this, Pei Hening left satisfied.
She was indeed quite curious about the Abyss Clan, but this wasn't a good time to learn about them.
——
Pei Hening returned to the car, lifting dumbbells while reading a book, silently waiting for Chu Xuange to get out of school.
Within half an hour, Pei Hening had already seen nine human students.
It seems that as the weather gets hotter, the students have quietly adjusted their class time to the hottest part of the day, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The probability of them encountering other human students will greatly increase in the future.
Pei Hening put on her headphones and asked 002 to read aloud the announcements from the school channel, wanting to see if the students had all adjusted their schedules.
Instead of hearing about any changes to the students' schedules, she discovered a suspicious person.
[Falling in love with you is like a moth drawn to a flame]: This awful weather is unbearable, it's so hot.
[Find me just to learn English]: In our district, a lot of people have died. They die every day. Besides those who die from the heat, they are also killed. The atmosphere is terrible.
[HXWHKL]: Almost. I tried to trade an ice maker yesterday, but I got located and killed. Luckily, they couldn't beat me.
[A Dream Within a Dream]: Lately, the supplies in chests have been decreasing. It's perfect when you encounter people who are willing to give you free loot. Kill them, take their supplies, or even use them as bait. Make them speak in the chat channel to lure people over and kill them.
[Frank]: You're more devilish than the devil himself @A Dream
[Princess Doris]:???
[Megsil]: You're ruthless.
[Fire the boss]: @Dream, is this feasible?
[A Dream Come True]: Of course, you don't need to question my abilities. I'm already the richest person in our region. Once the map is updated, I'll be number one on the wealth list in our region.
[Tatsuko Makino]: I've learned something, thank you.
[Fire the Boss]: 666, thank goodness you're not from our section, otherwise it would be terrible.
[Helpless like a dog]: Hesitant to speak.jpg
Pei Hening frowned as she listened to [A Dream]'s speech. What country was this person from? Why did he give her a strange sense of familiarity, so much like that immoral Qin Lianghan?
Pei Hening opened Helian Ye's private chat.
[DibiDibi]: Ah Ye, is Qin Lianghan just a [big dream]?
The other end is busy; there's no news yet.
Pei Hening had no choice but to suppress her doubts.
"002, keep an eye on [a dream], notify me immediately when he speaks."
Regardless of whether he is that bastard Qin Lianghan or not, judging from his words, he doesn't seem like a good person. It's always good to keep an eye on him.
As for [Makino Tatsuko], Pei Hening recalled her obsession with the fragments of civilization: "002, and [Makino Tatsuko] is also speaking, keep an eye on her too."
002: "Understood, Master."
Chu Xuange finished class on time and hurried to the parking lot.
Pei Hening's gaze fell on his face, which was covered up completely again, with a mask and hood up.
She rolled down the car window and asked with concern, "GeGe, are you alright?"
Chu Xuange replied in a muffled voice, "Not bad, much better than skipping class last time."
This time, Pei Hening didn't ask about his face, but instead brought up the person [A Great Dream]: "Gege, the way this person talks sounds a lot like Qin Lianghan, so be careful."
Chu Xuange glanced at the time and said, "I'll keep an eye on it, honey. Let's leave the school first."
——
Six o'clock.
Chu Xuange was cooking for her, while Pei Hening was unpacking boxes outside.
She unexpectedly saw a long procession of carriages and horses?
Beyond the highway, it was too far for her to see clearly whether the creatures slowly driving the carts were elves or not, but she noticed that there were dozens of boxes being carried in the middle of the 'caravan,' and the boxes looked very similar to silver and gold treasure chests!
Pei Hening was stunned for a moment, then quickly put on [unnecessary explanation].
(Wow, wow, wow, wow! It's a roving theft gang!)
(Whispering: Is our background clean? No criminal record, right?)
(If we have a clean record, we can call the police with one click. Once the police catch them, we can distribute the supplies in three tiers. The alarm button is on the left side of the personal panel.)
(If we're not clean, then let's just double-cross each other. The thieves are rich, and there are no rules to protect them.)
Double-crossing?
The thieves were outside the highway, and there were also many harmless little flowers growing along the roadside that seemed to eat a single bite.
Are you going to let her double-cross you?
She didn't even know how those people were lured over!
Pei Hening silently turned the camera around so that Chu Xuange could also see the group of people.
She blinked. "Gogo, look, it's a theft gang! Any further explanation just means I either have to double-cross them or call the police."
Chu Xuange also saw the long 'carriage and horse team' and understood the meaning of her call. He said, "Call the police, baby. Only after calling the police will the boxes stolen by the theft gang be replenished by the system."
Pei Hening pressed the alarm button and asked Chu Xuange, "Why are the thieves allowed to travel through off-road areas? Aren't they afraid of those vicious little flowers inside?"
Chu Xuange: "Their mounts are special; they won't be attacked by Xiao Hua, and they don't have any vehicles."
Strictly speaking, road survival doesn't limit them to roads.
They simply set up various hidden conditions to force them to stay on the highway.
"Hello, this is Highway Patrol Division 99-999. I am operator Griffin."
"Please locate my current position. I have just spotted a gang of thieves roaming outside the highway. They have stolen a lot of silver and gold chests."
Griffin's tone immediately turned serious: "Okay, we'll send someone to handle it right away."
After cutting off the connection with the highway police, Pei Hening immediately shrunk Chu Xuange's video feed and put on headphones to prevent the highway police from coming over and seeing her close relationship with a wanted criminal with millions of crime points.
Before long, she saw that more than thirty'special vehicles' had appeared around the long group of thieves.
Pei Hening saw the burst of magical light from afar and was secretly amazed. Was this the scene Chu Xuange was facing?
No wonder he always said "running for his life." She thought it was just the kid exaggerating, but now it seems he really was running for his life.
With so many skills used, to be able to return unscathed is truly impressive.
"Knock knock—"
Pei Hening rolled down the car window and saw the grumpy rabbit lady whom he had the pleasure of meeting once before.
She was dressed in a neat police uniform, her face serious: "[Drip-Drip-Drip] Ms., is this the one who reported the theft? Please fill out this form. After we have inventoried the stolen goods, we will give you a reward according to the proportion."
