Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 569 - 431: Team Leader, Why Are You Treating Me Like This? (2)

"Team leader, this is..."

"Don't ask, get off."

Lu Lin said seriously, and after watching Chen Xiran get out of the car, he stored the car in his Storage Ring.

"Let's go."

Lu Lin said in a low voice.

Seeing Lu Lin so tense, Chen Xiran didn't dare to ask more questions and followed closely behind him as the two entered the dense forest.

Little did they know.

The person observing their movements through a surveillance satellite couldn't help but show a hint of confusion in front of the screen.

What are these two doing, running into the forest out of nowhere?

No one knew how long they'd been walking, but Chen Xiran felt her Personal Terminal signal had weakened significantly when Lu Lin finally stopped.

"Prepare for combat."

With that, Lu Lin waved his hand, and a Spiritual Strength enveloped Chen Xiran.

Chen Xiran's face changed dramatically.

"Team leader, why are you sealing my Star Power cultivation?"

"Special training."

Lu Lin said coldly, throwing Chen Xiran an A-class Alloy Warblade and two small bags of compressed biscuits before teleporting away.

"Special training?"

Chen Xiran was still pondering the meaning of Lu Lin's words, but when she looked up, Lu Lin was gone.

All that was left on the ground was the battle knife and two bags of compressed biscuits.

"Team leader, isn't this too harsh?"

"I'm just an ordinary Star Core Warrior, and I haven't even trained in Star Martial yet."

"Team leader, please release the Star Power restriction."

But Lu Lin seemed to have truly disappeared, not responding to Chen Xiran's calls.

Just as Chen Xiran was about to say something else, a sudden heavy and urgent breathing sound came from the distant dense forest.

"Who's there!"

Chen Xiran shouted, instinctively picking up the Alloy Warblade from the ground.

This was her only useful weapon at the moment for attack.

Of course, she also had enough strength to easily take down four or five ordinary adult men, if she knew how to use it.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar resounded.

A black creature, standing two meters tall and weighing more than five Chen Xiran, emerged from the mountain forest.

Actually, it wasn't a creature at all but a common black bear found in the North Magnesium Forest.

There was a small crescent-shaped patch of white fur on its chest, but this decoration did not give the black bear any foolishly adorable aura; instead, it appeared even more ferocious.

"Bear?!"

Chen Xiran took two steps back, her hand holding the knife trembling slightly.

Her chest rose and fell violently.

If Lu Lin hadn't sealed her Star Power cultivation, such a black bear could have been an easy target for roasting.

But now, with just a battle knife, how could someone like her, who had never learned any Star Martial, handle such a situation?

No, wait.

As Chen Xiran was blaming Lu Lin, she suddenly recalled that last year, while following Lu Lin into the Exotic Battlefield, she had learned a move called Bright Moon Slash in the Frenzied Dao Secret Realm.

The Secret Realm had set almost impossible challenges for Lu Lin, but for other challengers, the difficulty was average; those with similar skills could easily pass.

Naturally, the less they paid, the less they gained.

Bright Moon Slash consisted of three moves, and both Chen Xiran, Fang Gang, and Bai Buyi only learned one move each.

But one move was still better than none.

Chen Xiran carefully recalled the techniques of New Moon Slash, the force application methods, and the Star Power circulation path in her mind.

As she looked at the approaching black bear, she steeled herself.

"Ah——" she yelled, eyes shut, swinging the knife towards the black bear.

The black bear was startled by her yell. Seeing Chen Xiran charging at it, the bear felt amused.

Such a weak human dared challenge it—what a dream.

Then.

The bear saw itself flying higher and higher.

Glancing down, Chen Xiran, after swinging the knife across its body, staggered and fell onto the lower half of the bear's body.

Dead.

Just like that, the black bear died at the hands of a seemingly frail girl like Chen Xiran.

Even until its death, the bear didn't know how it died—it was so unfair.

Chen Xiran fell heavily to the ground, subconsciously opening her eyes.

There, half of the black bear's body was gushing blood.

The stench of blood filled her nostrils.

At that moment, Chen Xiran hated her keen sense of smell more than anything.

She silently vowed that when she reached the Level 6 Five Senses, she'd rank smell as the last.

Chen Xiran fainted on the spot.

In midair.

Lu Lin watched the "battle" between Chen Xiran and the black bear, his face twitching and speechless.

He wanted Chen Xiran to hone her courage properly.

But Chen Xiran?

After Lu Lin left, she first called loudly for help, then gripped the warblade and attacked with her eyes closed. Finally, although she killed the black bear, she fainted upon seeing the blood.

If Lu Lin hadn't been watching from the side, he almost didn't have to think about the outcome for Chen Xiran.

Without a doubt, she'd die in this forest.

At this moment.

The blood continued to flow from the black bear's corpse, its smell slowly spreading.

Though it was not yet dark, some predatory creatures with keen senses of smell, having caught the scent of blood in the air, emerged from their dens and nests, shaking their fur as they followed the scent of blood.

This change was naturally within Lu Lin's expectations. His thoughts stirred, and he guided the spiritual presences of these converging predators into his Star Power Domain.

It wasn't time for them to appear yet.

Waiting as the sky gradually darkened.

Only then did Chen Xiran slowly awaken.

She initially thought that after successfully killing a black bear, the special training would be over, and Lu Lin would come to rescue her.

But.

When she touched the bear's furry body beneath her, Chen Xiran immediately understood.

Lu Lin was not to be relied on.

Suppressing her nausea, Chen Xiran pushed up from the bear's body.

At this moment, her entire face was sticky with dried blood, looking more terrifying than some wild animals in the forest.

Knife.

She needed to find the knife first.

It was the only thing that could keep her alive in this dense forest.

Under the white moonlight, Chen Xiran quickly found the A-class Alloy Warblade lying three steps away.

Holding the hilt, she finally felt a little secure.

With resentment for Lu Lin's cold-bloodedness in her heart, Chen Xiran located the two packs of compressed biscuits Lu Lin had left behind.

Opening them, she managed to eat just one piece before feeling too ill to continue.

It wasn't that she was full but that her stomach felt uncomfortable.

After lying on a bear's corpse all afternoon, recalling the terrifying, bloody room she'd faced in the hotel earlier didn't seem so daunting anymore.

Just then, she heard a sound—or rather, three, four, five, six, seven, eight sounds of grass being trampled.

More animals were coming.

And there were many of them.

Chen Xiran's expression stiffened, and she took a deep breath, standing up from the ground.

Bring it on.

Since Lu Lin chose such a method for special training, and she had no means to resist, she had to proceed just as Lu Lin had planned.

One day, if Chen Xiran could rise to a higher level than Lu Lin, she would make sure he experienced such a "training" too.

"Whoosh."

A sound of wind cutting through the air, and Chen Xiran only saw a shadow flash by, striking with her blade before she even saw clearly what it was.

"Splat."

A splash of warm blood hit Chen Xiran's face, but she remained unfazed.

Because, just then, the second and third animals lunged at her.

"Kill!"
