Chapter 102 Forced Rescue

"That person was terrifying," Xiong Chu Mo instinctively moved closer to Han Jiangxue, not caring if the Snow Goddess would freeze her. She was genuinely frightened.

Han Jiangxue gave a faint "Mm," seemingly uninterested in conversation.

In truth, Han Jiangxue's heart felt heavy. If she wasn't mistaken, that person was likely a "Star Warrior Officer."

Before the competition, the referee mentioned that each level of the Ancient Emperor's Tomb had a guarding legion to ensure the safety of the participants to the greatest extent. Moreover, the organizers borrowed a batch of powerful Star Warriors from the country and the military.

If it were a guarding legion, they shouldn't act independently or play with stone carvings here.

Presumably, that guy had the right to make his own decisions and act independently.

So, the question now was: that strange fellow had been unfriendly to everyone from beginning to end.

Yes, maybe he didn't say anything, but his actions were intriguing.

As they passed by him, each of them had their heartbeat disrupted by his hammer and chisel.

The Ancient Emperor's Tomb was already dangerous, and the hard-won emotional stability of the group was disturbed again by that guy.

Ring ring ring...

Suddenly, the melodious sound of chimes rang out.

Han Jiangxue snapped back to reality and saw Jiang Xiao directing the leaping medical light waves, weaving them back and forth among the group.

One Bell only jumped six times, clearly not enough for eight people, so the second Bell arrived.

Xiong Chu Mo was obviously the most cared for, with the Bell jumping on her three times.

Xiong Chu Mo's agitated heart gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Xiao beside her, and a blush rose on her delicate face. She felt a little embarrassed.

Just now, Jiang Xiao had grabbed her bird (something seemed wrong?), making the yellow-green parrot call him "Dad."

Now, he was taking such good care of her. As an eighteen-year-old girl, Xiong Chu Mo naturally had many thoughts.

She misunderstood Jiang Xiao. Among the eight members, Xiong Chu Mo was obviously the most timid and easily frightened, so Jiang Xiao focused on her with the Bell.

After all, the Bell had a calming effect.

This also puzzled the others. Was this the Bell, a medical Star Technique from Bei Jiang Province?

The sound was similar, but how could it have a calming effect?

Bei Jiang and Cai Nan could be considered as mutually beneficial, relying on each other, so the team members from Cai Nan Teachers College didn't rashly ask.

The leaping white medical light lingered in the air, dotted with starlight, which was quite beautiful.

As the sound of the Bell dissipated, the group finally arrived at the first fork in the road.

The terrain of this Ancient Emperor's Tomb was truly bizarre, either giving you one path or ten thousand paths.

Was this an imperial tomb or a maze?

Looking at the five entrances in front of him, Li Weiyi was troubled and asked, "Which way do we go?"

Bai Yipeng: "This..."

The group looked around and finally turned to Han Jiangxue.

"Stick to the right. If something goes wrong, at least we can return the way we came and find the guarding legion's base camp." Han Jiangxue signaled everyone to turn right. "Before the bird finds its bearings, let's go this way."

Han Jiangxue's thinking was clear, and everyone agreed. They walked into the passage on the right and, after a while, emerged from the maze into an empty hall.

The dark hall seemed endless. Through the torch held high by Li Weiyi's war hammer, they advanced and discovered many independent stone halls. No one knew what was behind the walls, no one knew...

"Enemy attack!" Li Weiyi suddenly roared and raised his dark shield in front of the group.

An ice arrow shot rapidly, but it was blocked completely by Li Weiyi.

Seeing that the ambush failed, the opponent's Ancient Martial Arts archers also sounded the charge, and a series of fire arrows shot over, allowing the group to see the enemy's location clearly.

Li Weiyi and Bai Yipeng hurriedly stood in front of the group. The series of exploding fire arrows were deafening, forcing the group to retreat in disarray.

Good heavens? How many Ancient Martial Arts fire archers were there? Were they playing explosive arrow rain?

For a time, the scene was quite tragic.

Jiang Xiao decisively threw a Silence.

It wasn't that Jiang Xiao was slow to react, but the enemy was more suited to the dark environment and discovered the target before Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao reacted as soon as he learned the enemy's location. No matter what the Ancient Martial Arts team leader was, a preemptive Silence was always a good idea.

Han Jiangxue ignored everything else. Having fully recovered her Star Power, she threw out a series of Chain Lightnings.

"Ancient Martial Arts General leading, 7 archers, 1 war hammer... Huh? Someone's coming?" Li Weiyi quickly reported the information but suddenly gave a new piece of news.

What did "Someone's coming" mean?

In the vast Ancient Emperor's Tomb, a figure rushed in from the darkness in the distance.

In the light of the explosions, Li Weiyi retreated while holding up his shield and covertly observed, "A middle-aged man in camouflage military uniform, should be a guarding soldier or a Star Warrior Officer, maybe... wait!"

Li Weiyi's expression changed, and his words became hurried, "He's charging towards our target."

Xia Yan heard this, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly shouted, "We don't need help! We don't need help!"

However,

In the rules of the competition, participants didn't need to ask for help. Guardians and Star Warrior Officers could unilaterally provide assistance.

In other words, whether you, as a participant, would receive help was not up to you to decide.

The man in camouflage plunged into the squad led by the Ancient Martial Arts General, and Xia Yan finally saw his appearance clearly and couldn't help but wave her broadsword, dispersing the exploding firelight.

The Ancient Martial Arts archers' series of explosive arrows did make the group look heavily injured and disheveled.

Xia Yan stamped her foot and shouted, "Can't you hear? We don't need help! We're not in any life-threatening danger! They're all Silenced by us and can't use any Star Techniques. Didn't you notice?"

In response, the unfamiliar man in camouflage indicated with his actions: No, you do.

Han Jiangxue's expression darkened as she sensed something was wrong.

This guy was forcibly helping them?

What did he mean by this?

Although they were ambushed first and blasted into a bit of a mess, Jiang Xiao's Silence had clearly been thrown out, and they had already stabilized their position and didn't need help at all!

The audience in front of the television might not be able to see the situation clearly, but this soldier couldn't possibly not understand!

Xia Yan's words were also very clear, but the other party still insisted on helping them?

This was clearly deliberately increasing the number of "requests for assistance" for the two teams.

There were only 3 requests for assistance. If a team made a fourth request, their results would be canceled, and they would be forcibly sent out of the competition!

Moreover, if any team was helped by the guarding legion or a Star Warrior Officer, then all the rewards from this battle would belong to the officials.

These were the rules given by the officials to prevent the participating students from exploiting loopholes in the rules, guiding a large number of Ancient Martial Arts legions to fight with the rescuers, and preventing the participating students from using the number of requests for assistance to exchange for the Ancient Martial Arts soldiers' Star Beads.

The rules were good, but now they had changed their flavor.

The Bei Jiang and Cai Nan teams had clearly stabilized their positions. After Han Jiangxue threw out a few Chain Lightnings, they could have collected the spoils of war, but because a strange soldier intruded, the two teams not only each had a "request for assistance" recorded but also lost all the spoils of war.

Jiang Xiao also smelled a conspiracy. The cooked duck had just flown away?

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but want to give the other party a Blessing.

But this was, after all, a global live broadcast, and Jiang Xiao had to consider the consequences of harming someone. All he could do was no longer use Silence, but he couldn't actively attack.

The 10 seconds of Silence passed in an instant, but the strength of that strange soldier was not to be underestimated. In just a few seconds, he had already eliminated the Ancient Martial Arts team leader, resolved most of the threat, and the remaining Ancient Martial Arts archers scattered and fled.

Han Jiangxue coldly stared at the other party and said, "Everyone is watching your behavior. We have repeatedly emphasized that we don't need help, but you forcibly recorded a request for assistance for us and forcibly took away our spoils of war."

The strange soldier suddenly turned around, his eyes like an eagle's, extremely sharp: "You are not qualified to question my judgment, watch your words, I saved your lives, you must distinguish between black and white."
