Chapter 93 Sweeping Through the Underground Caves, Breaking Historical Records!
However, when Ark emerged from the Goblin Cave and saw the devastated battlefield on the live stream, all the spectators were utterly shocked.
"Holy crap! How come there are so many bodies outside? Ferocious rats? And ferocious mosquitoes? There must be at least several hundred of them!"
"I'm kneeling before Ark, the big boss! No wonder he was able to sleep soundly until dawn; he had already killed so many monsters last night."
"Yeah, judging by that number, Ark probably wiped out all the night-stalking monsters near the Goblin Cave! His strength is terrifying!"
"I just realized that Ark's hunting points are almost 300, more than double that of Meng Hongzhuang in second place. It seems that the number one seed position definitely belongs to Ark!"
"How exactly did the Ark warriors fight last night? I really hope the instructors can edit it together so we can see for ourselves!"
Inside the fortress, an instructor also looked amazed, saying, "260 points on the first day of solo hunting! Has Ark broken the historical record of Haicheng Military Academy again?"
The female instructor who had always been optimistic about Ark flipped through the documents in her hand and nodded with great certainty.
That's right!
The previous record was 170 points set by [Flame Dragon Knight] Wen Jiu, which is slightly better than this year's [Nature Summoner] Meng Hongzhuang.
Another instructor shook his head slightly and added, "You can't compare them like that."
I remember that Wen Jiu was designated as the number one seed and received a lot of resources from the military academy, breaking through to the middle level of apprentice.
On its first time entering the underground hunting grounds, it achieved a score of 170 points.
At that time, she had been awakened for almost four months.
Fangzhou and Meng Hongzhuang have only been awakened for two months and haven't even enjoyed the seed cultivation yet, but they've already achieved such outstanding results.
This undoubtedly further illustrates that the student has surpassed the teacher!
One of the instructors chimed in, "Yes!"
With Fang Zhou, that freakish, cough, outstanding student, who knows, maybe our Haicheng Military Academy can win first place in the upcoming recruit skills competition!
Upon hearing this, the other instructors' eyes lit up.
The military places great importance on a sense of collective honor.
As part of the military, Haicheng Military Academy naturally also pursues this.
If Fang Zhou, Meng Hongzhuang, and their cohort of freshmen can be trained to excel and achieve good results in the recruit competition, not to mention the subsequent allocation of federal resources, these instructors will also have more face to show when they go out to meet their comrades.
Lu Hu coughed lightly, interrupting the instructors' wandering thoughts.
"Don't think too much about it. I've heard that Longcheng Military Academy, Tiancheng Military Academy, and Shancheng Military Academy have all produced some formidable freshmen this year."
Characters like [Lava Lord], [Sword Saint], and [Judgment Knight] sound just as good as [Necromancer] in Arknights.
Once the seeded players are determined, we'll need to give these newcomers some serious training!
"yes!"
The other instructors nodded solemnly and then turned their attention to the live broadcast of the seed candidates' battle.
Outside the Goblin Cave.
As Fangzhou directed the skeleton army to collect the spoils, he also recorded his gains and reflections on last night's battle.
Besides the urgent desire to find a way to enable apprentices to condense skeletal weapons, Ark also discovered a weakness in itself.
For a small, agile monster like the Ferocious Mosquito, he doesn't have a very cost-effective attack skill.
【Bone Arrow Rain】 is a very useful area-of-effect skill, but it is mainly used to deal with normal-sized monsters such as Lesser Demons and Ferocious Wolves.
If used to attack swarms of ferocious mosquitoes, the cost-effectiveness is really low.
If a large-scale killing skill similar to Poison Mist or Death Cloud could be developed, it would undoubtedly be much easier to deal with small monsters like the Ferocious Mosquito, which rely on sheer numbers.
Fangzhou noted this thought down in his memo, and then looked at the current hunting points rankings.
He was still in first place, and the rankings of Meng Hongzhuang, Gu Zhiqi, and others remained largely unchanged.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, with his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) tendencies, has moved up one place in the rankings and is now in 7th.
Fangzhou scrolled down to the end of the list, and as he expected, after a day and a night of trials, 20 seed candidates had been eliminated.
He shook his head slightly. As their physical strength and energy waned, the trainees' condition would definitely worsen, and he estimated that more and more people would be eliminated.
Ark looked up at the army of skeletons.
By this time, they had neatly piled up their spoils.
Ark roughly counted them and found a total of 150 ferocious rat tails and 200 ferocious mosquito mouthparts.
Aside from a small number who were killed by the Ark and his army of skeletons, the vast majority of the monsters died from fighting among themselves.
Ark has once again gotten a great deal.
Based on the military academy's recycling price, these materials are worth at least 30 contribution points.
Ark packed the spoils into bags made of slime skin and tied them to a skeleton.
Then, he turned on his hunting recorder and confirmed the direction of the [Thorn Jungle].
He still has two days left for the underground hunt, which should be enough time for him to explore the traces of the refined stone veins in the thorny jungle.
Thinking of those silver-gray refined stones, Fang Zhou was filled with energy and couldn't help but silently thank the group of kobolds he had reduced to ashes.
Below the hills, the sky is clear and boundless.
Ark led his skeleton army, trudging through mud and blood, toward the thorny jungle.
The Thorn Jungle is quite far from the Goblin Cave, so we might not be able to make it there today.
To allow sufficient time for the subsequent exploration, the Ark's marching speed was increased considerably.
After passing several abandoned building ruins and eliminating a few monsters that came to deliver hunting points and soul power, Ark heard the barking of kobolds again at the corner of a forest.
Upon turning around, I saw an open space in the middle of the woods.
The tall trees provide complete shade, making this a medium-sized kobold camp.
Compared to the small kobold camp that was breached by the Ark yesterday, this camp is much larger.
Around the campsite, there are many wooden stakes that are driven diagonally into the ground.
At the wooden stake, there were also the bodies of some nocturnal monsters lying haphazardly.
It seems this place was also attacked last night.
Twenty-odd kobolds surrounded several campfires in the middle of the camp, barking wildly and looking quite excited.
In the very center of the camp, a kobold warlock with bright red skin was the unseen leader of all the kobolds.
Having discovered such a gathering place of monsters, other students would have definitely retreated quietly.
However, for Ark, who had rested overnight and whose mental energy had been fully restored, this place was just a rare monster-hunting spot.
