I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 166 Training

Qi Yan was stunned, and had already guessed something.

Bai Qiuning looked gloomy and continued, "What you are seeing now are the two groups of survivors. The others... have all been killed."

There should be 40 people in the two groups, but there are only 34 people present, which means that six students have already...

At this moment, Xie Shu's long-suppressed emotions finally collapsed. She covered her face with her hands, and big tears slipped through her fingers.

"Annie too... If I had been able to hold her tightly at that time, I wouldn't have..." Xie Shu burst into tears, her shoulders shaking slightly.

Bai Qiuning held her in his arms and patted her back gently.

Even though she had expected it, hearing their confirmation still made Qi Yan feel incredibly sad.

He couldn't help but think of the dinner party at Xianglan Waterside Pavilion that day; everyone's laughter still seemed to linger in his ears.

Although Qi Yan didn't have much contact with Annie, in his impression, Annie was a shy, introverted and serious girl.

I haven't repaid her for helping me back then, how could this happen...

Qi Yan silently clenched his fists, feeling a mixture of sadness and powerlessness in his heart, as if he had begun to relax about the development of the plot ever since he had repaired Huo Linyuan's mental damage.

No, that's not right. I was so immersed in the protective circle built by A Yuan that I forgot that battles are always cruel.

"Yanyan..." Ryan patted his shoulder with a worried look on his face.

At this time, Lin Che walked over, frowning, as if he was about to say something to Qi Yan, but when he looked at the atmosphere in front of him, he suddenly swallowed it back.

Qi Yan then remembered that his purpose of coming to Sirius was to get close to Lin Che, and now the other party actually came to him on his own.

But before he could say anything, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting outside.

Everyone was like a frightened bird, and the timid girls hugged each other.

Qi Yan and Lin Che ran towards the cave entrance as soon as possible. When they arrived at the cave entrance, they ran into the man who had organized people to set up the barrier.

"What's wrong?" Lin Che asked the man.

Shangguan Jin, the man, had a livid face and it was obvious that he was close to emotional collapse, but he was still trying his best to remain calm.

"Another monster is coming."

Qi Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that not far from the cave, a monster of the same size as the previous one was being besieged by four mechas.

At this moment, Qi Yan suddenly remembered that Shen Mu and his team had led away a monster before, and it seemed to be the one in front of him. He had forgotten about them.

Because of Qi Yan's temporary joining, their group was short of one person in the combat department.

Therefore, apart from Qi Yan, the only ones in their group who had mechas were Shen Mu, Xiao Qian, the young man who had always been following Shen Mu, and another girl from the combat department.

The cooperation between these people is obviously better than that between Lin Che and his team, and their strength is comparable, so compared with the previous battle between Lin Che and his team, these people seem to be more at ease.

What caught Qi Yan's special attention was that there was actually a beast-type mecha inside. If it was just a beast-type mecha, it would not be something that would make him look at it differently. The key point was that the appearance of this mecha was very similar to the Snow Wolf.

No, to be precise, it looks like the Snow Wolf before the transformation.

Qi Yan couldn't help but cast his gaze at the young man standing outside the battle circle. The first time Qi Yan saw that young man was at Xianglan Waterside Pavilion. In his impression, he always followed Shen Mu and gave people a somewhat gloomy feeling.

Unexpectedly, this guy looks thin but is actually a combat type.

The other two combat students in Lin Che's group also gathered at the cave entrance. One of the boys had rage in his eyes and was ready to join the battle.

Many of his companions had died in the mouth of this monster, and now another combat student was also seriously injured and unconscious. At this moment, he was filled with tremendous hatred for these inexplicably appearing monsters.

However, Lin Che grabbed his arm and said, "Save your energy."

His words shocked the other two, and they all thought at the same time: Do we still need to care about competition at this time?

The two thought that Lin Che didn't want to take action because he wanted to preserve the strength of their team, although they did not agree with this.

However, in the previous battle, Lin Che occupied an absolute leadership position, so the two did not object to his decision. They just straightened their bodies, ready to rescue at any time.

But Qi Yan knew what Lin Che really meant by saying this. There was no doubt that Shen Mu and his team would win this battle.

Unlike Lin Che and his companions who were experiencing their first actual combat, these people obviously had richer actual combat experience, and their mecha weapon configurations were obviously several levels higher than Lin Che and his companions.

So, there is no doubt that they will win this battle.

but……

Qi Yan frowned and looked in Potian's direction, communicating with him in her mind: "Potian, how is the situation over there?"

Because he and Potian have established a mental connection, as long as the distance is not far, they can communicate directly in their sea of ​​consciousness.

"They're just a group of ants. There's just too many of them and we can't kill them all." Potian's tone sounded a little irritable.

The monster fusion that looked like a small hill before has collapsed at this moment, but in its wake, more and more first-level monsters have emerged.

"Can you establish contact with Brother Wen directly through the Star Network?" Qi Yan asked.

…There was silence over there for a while.

After a while, Potian said in an awkward and unwilling voice: "No."

Before, because he insisted on retaining the so-called "sense of ritual", he stubbornly allowed Huo Linyuan to build a communication system in his neural network.

Qi Yan was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he said, "I'll trouble you to deal with those monsters, Potian. At least hold on until the school's rescue arrives."

Potian was about to say it was a piece of cake, but he sensed that Qi Yan's mood seemed a little off, so he suddenly suggested: "How about I send two over to give those guys a chance to practice with?"

Qi Yan was somewhat surprised by this proposal, and he couldn't help but glance at Lin Che and the others beside him.

The two combat students had ferocious expressions, as if they were ready to rush forward at any time and tear off a piece of the monster's flesh.

Although Lin Che's expression was calmer than theirs, his eyes were fixed straight ahead, showing his desire for battle.

Qi Yan followed his gaze and looked at the battlefield again. The fighting style of Shen Mu and his team was completely different from that of Lin Che and his team. This was the difference between having experience and not having experience.

Perhaps these people do need some actual combat to improve their experience, and isn’t the point of actual combat drills to participate in battles?

What's more... they seemed to need an outlet to vent their fear and anger.

The best cure for fear is not comfort, but to defeat it and overcome it with your own hands.

Thinking of this, Qi Yan replied in his mind: "Let's release one or two level one ones first."
