Chapter 311: Chapter 311 I’m Not Afraid of Poison, Let Me Do It
Su Wan withdrew her gaze.
She guessed that the relationship between these two schools wasn’t exactly harmonious.
The first cross-country training session began.
No sooner had Su Wan taken a step than she suddenly heard a whooshing sound.
Looking up, she almost wanted to curse at the scene before her.
But she held back.
Because the five people from Yuanyi University actually spread their wings and flew away directly!
Don’t look up.
Otherwise, you’ll be filled with envy and resentment!
The members of the other schools were somewhat speechless upon seeing this.
At that moment, Qian Kang passed by Su Wan and her group, offering a polite smile.
"We’ll be going ahead too," he said.
Su Wan watched wide-eyed as Qian Kang and his school’s five people stomped their feet, and several rollers popped out of their boots.
Just like that, it was as though they were on roller skates, gliding away...
Alex really wanted to make a sarcastic remark.
The four companions looked at him.
He just forcefully swallowed the words he wanted to say.
However, over there, Gill couldn’t hold back.
He said with a sneer, "The people from these two universities are the weirdest, always showing off. So what if they can fly and run? We’re not competing for speed!"
Although Su Wan didn’t have a high opinion of this wolf-bootlicker, she admitted he had a point.
This cross-country obstacle training definitely wasn’t about who was the fastest.
Speed was just one of the factors.
According to the habits of these teachers, there would certainly be various obstacles set up along the way, as well as some hidden levels.
Flying straight over would indeed be the fastest.
But they also missed the bonus points from the hidden levels.
Of course, there were pros and cons to each approach.
Su Wan wasn’t looking to take shortcuts; she wanted to train herself.
Then she chose the path on the left side, together with her four companions.
The mermaid members of Siren University and the five-person team from Prys University chose the path on the right side.
Sheng An looked back and said, "Those two schools seem to have teamed up."
Pandora said indifferently, "Probably to support each other at the bottom of the rankings."
It had to be said that Siren University’s overall strength was the weakest.
Prys University’s strength was not bad.
But if they were tied to Siren, their strength would be greatly reduced.
However, this had nothing to do with Empire University.
Su Wan and her group continued to move forward while paying attention to the surroundings; the road was very smooth at the beginning.
But as they walked on, it became overgrown with thorns.
This path was difficult to traverse, and a moment’s inattention could lead to being scratched by the thorns.
The other members were Beastmen, so such minor injuries would probably heal as they walked.
Thus they all protected Su Wan in the middle.
Su Wan felt a guilty conscience, for if she were to get scratched... her wound might heal even faster than theirs.
Just as they were about to get past Thorn Garden, Su Wan suddenly stopped in her tracks.
It shouldn’t end just like that.
It seemed too simple.
She turned to look back.
Although Bai Qi hadn’t said a word, he was constantly watching Su Wan’s movements.
Seeing the others continuing on while Su Wan looked back, Bai Qi asked, "Senior, what’s wrong?"
Su Wan replied, "It shouldn’t be just like this."
Su Wan spoke as she walked back.
She suddenly noticed that in the Thorn Garden, there were red fruits growing in some areas.
Just as Su Wan was about to pick them, Bai Qi came over.
Bai Qi said, "Senior, I’m not afraid of poison, let me do it."
When Su Wan remembered his beast transformation was a venomous snake, she suddenly envied such a physique.
Bai Qi picked the red fruit, examined it carefully, crushed one, and tasted it at his lips.
At this time, Sheng An and the other two also hurried over.
After seeing the red fruit, Sheng An said, "This seems to be a kind of artificially cultivated Energy Fruit. The taste is not good, but it’s edible. Some Star Beasts like to eat this fruit."
"Who has a container? Let’s pick some."
Su Wan decided to pick. Aside from Pandora’s lack of understanding, the other three immediately took action.
In no time, they had picked some and packed them into each person’s rucksack.
Luckily, everyone moved quickly and didn’t waste too much time.
They continued forward and then saw a very wide river.
Alex’s eyes widened, "This challenge involves swimming, huh."
Pandora was already rolling up her sleeves, ready to get into the river.
Su Wan felt something wasn’t right. Simple swimming shouldn’t be part of this competition.
Even if it wasn’t the finals, it shouldn’t be.
At this moment, people from Siren University and Prys University also arrived.
Even though Su Wan and her group had picked the red fruits, they still arrived before the others.
If Su Wan wasn’t mistaken, whether it was the path on the left or the right, they were actually the same.
So, among these ten people, there must be some dead weight.
As the group reached the riverbank and saw that Su Wan’s group was hesitating to enter the water, someone scoffed.
"Afraid of water, are we? Could it be that one of you doesn’t know how to swim and is a duck on land?"
Most Beastmen can swim unless it’s a water-fearing Beastman.
Of course, for the Mermaids of Siren University, swimming is faster for them than walking.
It’s their home turf.
After the mockery from the other side, they got into the river.
On this side, Pandora looked back at Su Wan, who had stopped first, and said, "Su Wan, I’m strong, I can carry you while swimming."
Su Wan’s mouth twitched.
She realized that her other three friends were also looking at her with caring eyes.
So, everyone thought she was the one who couldn’t swim and was afraid of water?
Su Wan was at a loss for words. It wasn’t easy to explain that she now found water even more welcoming than her own bed.
It was at this moment that from the two schools that were already in the water, screams suddenly erupted!
Something in the water had bitten one of the students!
The student cried out in pain, and the group of ten completely fell into chaos.
Because they had not gone far from the riverbank, the ten of them quickly swam back.
After getting ashore, some of them still had several Nile Fish with sharp teeth hanging from their bodies.
Su Wan said, "The Nile Fish are a kind of very irritable fish with sharp teeth, and their flesh doesn’t taste good."
Alex, "Xiaowan, you truly are someone who loves cooking, to even include that the flesh doesn’t taste good."
Su Wan: "..."
On this side, Sheng An looked at the ten people who had returned and then said, "Look, people from Siren University have gone into the water again. I just noticed that those with Nile Fish on them are only from Prys University."
Pandora: "The Nile Fish are also a type of fish. They have a natural reverence for the Mermaid Clan, a hierarchy suppression, so they only attacked the people from Prys University."
Alex, feeling annoyed, "Those who can fly, those who can swim, it seems they all have an advantage! How can we even compete in this contest?"
Sheng An shook her head, "Having an advantage means there are disadvantages too. After all, there are many challenges."
While the friends were chatting, Su Wan took out an Energy Fruit and threw it into the water.
Several Nile Fish instantly rushed over, fighting for it.
Su Wan’s eyes lit up suddenly!
