Chapter 20: Can I Counterattack?

  It's clear that these people have no intention of giving up. Even if they were rescued and sent back, the losses they would suffer would not be limited to just repeating a grade. Moreover, they have already missed the best time for rescue, and it's likely that several members of this team will die before help arrives.

  This bear... In the terminology of this world, it refers to a kind with a high degree of heteromorphism. As long as the degree of heteromorphism is high enough, no matter what species it is, it can become powerful to the point of defying heaven. Therefore, the classification of heteromorphic beasts is basically unreliable.

  Even if lions of the same kind can be divided into three, six and nine levels of strength, what's strange about a genius appearing among mice? Judging the other party's strength based on species... normally acceptable, but not when luck is bad... hehe.

  Of course, the offspring produced by powerful heterobestiaries must have extremely high innate talent.

  With a loud crash, followed by a series of cracking sounds, a muscular student was slapped by the brown bear that had been chasing him. Despite his strength, he was suddenly struck with a powerful slap, and his over 2-meter-tall body was quite intimidating!

  Take another look at this brown bear, and it's over two meters long at a glance...

  Shoulder high.

  Stand up and it's as tall as a two-story small building, some are even taller?

  That student was also quite sturdy, and after colliding with several large trees, he could still stammer out a few cries, spit out some blood, and then it would pass, at least for the time being, he wouldn't die. As for pretending to be dead, apparently bears aren't interested in corpses?

  Oh, that's just about eating habits, maybe they actually like the taste of corpse flesh? How dare you pretend to be dead!

  This student is also quite loyal, or it can be said that this is a common problem with the flesh system's heteropathy. They always have a little hot blood with their vigorous energy, not to mention that they are still students... En, although the opponent is not much younger than Jiǔ Mìng.

  So he rolled around on the ground for a while, then got up with a loud roar, and conveniently picked up a broken tree trunk next to him and slammed it over. The brown bear's head was smashed by that section of the tree, turning it into fragments, and its originally red eyes became almost as bright as small red lanterns.

  Hot-blooded doesn't mean brainless, and those who are both hot-blooded and brainless are ironically the least likely to die. The student turned around and ran as soon as he was thrown onto the tree trunk, while the enraged brown bear chased after him with a thunderous roar.

  It seems that I won't have to take action myself for the time being. This giant bear's mutation level is not low... That's right, but it seems like all the enhancements are on its physical body, and its intelligence might be just a bit higher than an ordinary bear?

  It doesn't seem like it was that strong, at least not enough to be ridiculed and pulled away so easily. That student hadn't even shouted "despicable" yet, he just threw something.

  "Act quickly!" The brown bear was temporarily pulled away, and the other students also knew that the student couldn't hold on for much longer. Their abilities were not enough to cause significant damage to the brown bear, whose thick fur largely immunized it against their attacks.

  Wanting to find a way out can only be done from other aspects, grasping it well should be able to turn the tables?

  Alright, I can indeed dispel this misconception that shouldn't exist in the first place.

  But... want to try?

  Get rid of this bear and everyone's final grade evaluation will definitely be greatly improved!

  "Wow, quite a quick reaction!" Seeing what these students were about to do, Jiǔ Mìng suddenly didn't seem too anxious anymore, instead watching with an onlooker's attitude. The method they used was rather primitive - digging holes...

  How many times have our predecessors used this foolproof method to kill off enemies who couldn't be defeated in a fair fight? Even if you have all sorts of abilities, once you fall into it, you're done for... Ah, but that depends on the skill level of the person digging the hole...

  The pit dug well is one that kills one person. The pit dug poorly is the one where people just fell in and directly climbed out, what a waste of a pit!

  The mud on the ground seemed to be sinking slowly like quicksand. Jiǔ Mìng glanced at the student with his hands on the ground, was this a geomancy ability? Digging holes was indeed very convenient. Jiǔ Mìng took another glance at the gradually forming pit, it wasn't just a mindless hole, its size was just right to trap that brown bear.

  Looking at this country-style ability student with an honest face, Jiǔ Mìng had some doubts whether this guy often did this kind of thing, otherwise how could he be so experienced?

  Especially after he dug one, he didn't stop and dug another in several other directions. Later, the openings of these holes were covered with a layer of mud again. Under the operation of several students majoring in soil mechanics, several students stood on the holes without falling through.

  After they finished, they quickly used the communicator to inform some of those students who had been ridiculing him. The huge commotion that had gradually faded away came back again, and now that student was even more disheveled than before, with his clothes also becoming tattered and worn out.

  Apart from the earth-type ability user, the rest of the students quickly responded. The earth-type ability student stood there calmly, and if his hand didn't continue to shake, it would be even better. A sharp earth thorn suddenly emerged from the ground, piercing the brown bear's legs...

  Good grief! You're really living up to this innocent-looking face of yours. The damage isn't much, but the effect is top-notch!

  That brown bear, with eyes glowing red, shifted its target and charged straight at the earth-type ability student. In the end, even the nine lives couldn't save that brown bear.

  Perhaps this brown bear didn't expect that the good ground would suddenly sink? Those little things running past just now were fine!

  The brown bear in the pit was not to be outdone, relying on its brutal strength to struggle violently. Each time it struggled, the ground shook, and with the trap as the center, deep cracks continued to expand. It's possible that this bear could use its brute force to break out.

  Now these students are a bit regretful, is the pit of over ten meters a bit too shallow? If only they had dug more than twenty meters...

  With limited ability, the earth-type ability student could only dig a hole this deep. Now he had stabilized the trap with all his might, and the mud flowed like water, filling in the cracks around the pit and even slowly closing the entrance.

  Digging pits and burying them alive, oh, the red fruit.

  He nodded, the fate of this bear was already sealed, especially with other students constantly using their abilities to shrink the hole, piling on and interfering with the brown bear's movements.

  "Hooo..."

  Another roar, and all the students in the field changed their faces. Damn it, there's actually another one?

  The students with earth-based abilities are now sweating profusely, coping with one head is already at their limit, what about another? Shouldn't they hurry up and run away?

  "You guys add some strength, we'll go and lure that one away." After a brief discussion, three people walked out of the team. The meat system student didn't have much combat power left and was able to run back purely on adrenaline. "We all have speed-based abilities, so we won't be in danger for now. You guys need to hurry up!"

  You have a great team spirit! Nine out of ten praised sincerely, perhaps there is a factor that you care about your own academic credits, what's wrong with that?

  Being able to do so is praiseworthy.

  Should he continue to stake out this place? Both sides have changed, and he can't be in two places at once...

  Huh?

  A faint glimmer flashed across the corner of his eye, Jiǔ Mìng (Nine Lives) smiled slightly and waved his hand in the direction of the glimmer. Silently and unnoticed, he followed behind the three students. Since there were others coming here, he no longer needed to pay attention to things here.

  This year's students are not bad, and the hidden foreign aid is also praising them. Under normal circumstances, these students are not enough to be defeated by this brown bear with just one hand. The bear-like monsters have a high resistance to physical attacks and also have a strong resistance to ability attacks. Fortunately, most of them rely on their bodies to make a living, and although they are difficult to deal with, there are many ways to counter them.

  It's just that they actually dared to think about counterattacking while escaping, and they even succeeded. If the student who was initially responsible for attracting the bear's attention had been a bit more timid, or if the other students had been more fearful and chosen to continue running away, the consequences...

  Their subsequent performance was also good, knowing that there is a second brown bear, they can make relatively correct choices, and the possibility of breaking through their success one by one is not low. The entire internship area is not just their small team's.

  They narrowly escaped, and at that time the two brown bears went on a rampage, and other students would have been unlucky to go home...

  "Which one is male? Which one is female?" Looking at this bear that seemed to be even stronger than the brown bear that was killed, Jiǔ Mìng muttered in confusion, coughing, he wouldn't go chasing after the bear's butt to take a look.

  Speed-related abilities, these three students ran very fast and occasionally turned back to harass the brown bear. However, the distance between the two sides was a bit close now. Jiǔ Mìng shook his head, this brown bear looked stupid and didn't have any long-range abilities. But wasn't the definition of "long-range" somewhat ambiguous?

  That rock hitting people is also a long-range attack.

  Bang!!

  The brown bear, irritated by the three students, slapped a large tree next to it with one paw. The trunk was shattered by the enormous brute force, and under the impact, the fragments flew towards the three students in front at an even faster speed.

  "Holy crap!!"

  The three students were slightly stunned when they didn't expect the brown bear to suddenly make such a move, and quickly dispersed to find cover.

  They were a bit too close to the brown bear, and before they could hide behind cover, they got hit by a lot of shrapnel. Among them, two were spiritual system users, which meant they specialized in elemental attacks, and one was a physical system user with enhanced speed. In short, none of them were particularly durable.

  "What a close call..." Covering his own shoulder, the student endured the pain of possibly fractured bones and took a look at his two other companions. Seeing that neither of them was hurt in the legs, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

  Getting a leg injury is the worst thing, if you encounter this kind of situation, it's better not to run away, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead may increase the chances of survival.

  This time, they didn't dare to be like just now, seeing that this brown bear couldn't catch up with them and started to play...
