Liu Yan clearly remembered that when they split up, one team had immediately left.
The others were either in scattered teams or following Yan Yuanzhi.
This team was obviously not weak, or else they would not have dared to act so rashly.
At this moment, they were in battle.
[Mutated Poisonous Ant]
[Level: 1]
[HP: 150/200]
[MP: 100/100]
[Strength: 22]
[Physique: 18]
[Agility: 29]
[Vitality: 21]
[Adaptability: 25]
[Talent: none]
[Skills: bite, poison release]
The mutant beasts they were facing were a group of mutated poisonous ants. In terms of strength, the ants were much weaker than the green pythons that Liu Yan had encountered before.
There were only six ants in total.
The leader was Wang Qing, the powerful awakener with grade-B talent.
When they were splitting up, everyone begged to be on the same team as him. In the end, he chose a few awakeners with high talent levels and suitable for combat as his teammates.
Liu Yan had heard about all this from the students in the temporary camp.
Currently, Wang Qing was the team's strongest DPS. The other members could barely deal with the mutated ants, unable to kill the ants themselves, and could only stall them off.
Wang Qing, on the other hand, was holding a bow and arrow. With the enhancement of his powerful grade B talent, every arrow was covered with green light as they hit the six poisonous ants!
Such high accuracy! Liu Yan sighed in amazement in his heart.
After the mutated ants were hit, they could still continue to attack.
At this time, Wang Qing needed the protection of his other teammates.
One of the girls wasn't strong, but she used a support skill. After being hit by her skill, all the mutant poisonous ants stopped at the same time.
It was only a momentary pause. Two teammates swung their knives and caused quite a bit of damage to the poisonous ants. The poisonous ants' HP dropped rapidly.
At the same time, the other teammates had already finished their defensive preparations.
After the freeze ended, the poisonous ants charged over even more rapidly. They seemed to have gone crazy from hunger as they opened their mouths wide at the living people while running wildly on their six legs.
At this moment, Wang Qing's arrows played their role.
The poisonous ants' HP dropped rapidly, then instantly bottomed out! It was actually a delay skill!
The battle was over in ten minutes.
The six mutated poisonous ants fell to the ground at the same time. The few awakeners gasped for breath. At the same time, their faces were filled with joy as they counted their gains.
A total of eight awakeners had worked so hard to deal with six mutated poisonous ants, but their harvest was not much.
The eight of them had to split the EXP from killing six level 1 mutant beasts. At the same time, the mutated poisonous ants weren't guarding any rare resources, so the eight of them didn't get much.
Liu Yan, on the other hand, had dealt with five green pythons and obtained the EXP all to himself. He had also obtained the rare detoxifying violetgrass. In addition, he could also obtain a large number of attributes and talent skills through Divine Extraction.
Comparing the gains of the two sides, the difference was truly too great. The gains of the eight were not even a third of what Liu Yan had obtained.
Wang Qing suddenly exclaimed, "I've leveled up! I've reached level 2, and I'm much stronger now, hahaha!"
Upon hearing Wang Qing's exclamation, the other awakeners of the team were instantly filled with joy and envy. They began to praise him.
"Brother Wang Qing is so powerful. To think you could level up in one day."
"Yeah! It's only the first day of entering the Tower world, and brother Wang Qing has already leveled up. You're really a genius!"
"So this is the power of a grade-B talent? That is amazing!"
"It's all thanks to brother Wang Qing for bringing us along. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to defeat these mutated poisonous ants. Rather, we might have been in danger by now!"
The awakeners surrounded Wang Qing and congratulated him.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yan understood.
The reason why Wang Qing could level up so quickly was that he was the team's strongest DPS. He was the one who dealt the majority of the damage to the mutant poisonous ants just now, so he obtained the majority of the distributed EXP.
In the battle just now, all eight awakeners had risked their lives to hack and slash the mutant beasts, but the EXP that they had gained was almost all Wang Qing's in the end. That was why the latter could level up so quickly.
Without the protection of the other awakeners, Wang Qing's B-grade talent was strong, but it was only an offensive talent that did not give him much self-protection ability. He would have long been killed by the mutated poisonous ants.
Rather than saying that Wang Qing was protecting the other awakeners, it was more like the other awakeners were risking their lives to work for Wang Qing.
Liu Yan was quite interested in Wang Qing's ability.
If it had a high hit rate, the damage it could deal alone would be enough for him to fight even stronger mutant beasts.
That being said, he was afraid that it would be difficult to hit high-level mutant beasts in the future, as they would be extremely agile.
Liu Yan was thinking about this when suddenly, his Spirit Vision sensed a slight movement!
"Go to hell!" A woman's sharp voice suddenly came from behind Wang Qing.
What followed was the extremely sharp knife on Wang Qing's neck!
Even Liu Yan did not notice when she appeared.
A woman suddenly appeared like a ghost and went straight to Wang Qing!
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! It was you who abandoned us in the center of the green python. It was you who raped me! You damn bastard, you didn't expect me to still be alive, did you?!" The one who was screaming was Yang Zhi, whom Liu Yan had just saved.
She was still wearing the clothes of her dead teammates, like a wild ghost that had come back to life. Wang Qing was obviously shocked.
Yang Zhi had awakened a grade-D talent, Hidden Assassination. If she had not been tricked, she would have been able to escape from the green pythons' siege with her ability.
On the lower ground, they had only seen one green python. Wang Qing had taken the high ground, and he had clearly seen that there was more than one python, but he told no one and still asked them to fight.
This resulted in the scene of all the team members being surrounded.
Even Wang Qing didn't expect that not only did the green pythons have thick skin, but they also swallowed as fast as lightning. Although he had shot his arrows, his teammates had been swallowed before the arrows could have any effect.
Having lost his defense, he naturally did not dare to stay in the vicinity for too long. He simply left Yang Zhi there and ran off.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's clear that I had no choice but to leave after seeing you being bitten to death by the green python. How are you still alive?"
"Of course, you wouldn't expect me to still be alive. Not only have I lived, but I've had enough of your humiliation. Now, I'm going to kill you!"
Wang Qing laughed.
While they were talking, the girl with the talent of Pause had already used the skill on Yang Zhi.
Wang Qing swaggered away from Yang Zhi and even pushed her knife away.
"What a pity, Yang Zhi. Have you forgotten how I played with you back then? Hahaha."
Of course, Yang Zhi couldn't forget. She glared fiercely at the accomplice, and the girl with the ponytail instantly shivered in fear.
"Stop looking at Song Yu. Hold her. What a coincidence, I just advanced to level 2. I should let you experience my power again."
Yang Zhi was immediately captured by a few of her former classmates. They flashed strange smiles at her.
So these were the students of the Tower Academy?
Liu Yan couldn't help but frown.
What was the difference between these bastards and the awakeners in the sanctuaries outside?
Yang Zhi tried her best to break free, but she was no match for Wang Qing, who was now Level 2.
In an instant, she was pressed to the ground and stripped naked!
Liu Yan, who was hiding in the bushes, immediately stood up with a dark expression.
