Firefly Journey

Chapter 216 Winter in Nakas (5)

Seeing Sabrina eliminated, everyone in Class 63 watching the match was surprised. Because their mentor was filling in for them, they watched the matches almost every day and had seen many people eliminated, but St. Louis was the first one to be eliminated.

They originally thought that the first to be eliminated from Class 29 would be the bottom-ranked students like Ario and Paninger, but who would have thought it would be Sabrina.

It's worth noting that she was previously among the top-ranked players on the individual leaderboard. Her battle with Locke was unfortunately covered up by other footage from the staff, so the details are unknown to the public.

Morgan asked, "What happened?"

Sabrina stood up, enduring the excruciating pain in her body, and said with dignified politeness, "I encountered Locke, but I couldn't defeat him."

There was a hint of frustration in her eyes, as if she felt she hadn't done enough.

But in the eyes of the people in Class 63, she had already done very well. It was something that couldn't be defeated by a third-level awakener; no one could have done anything about it.

"Then you're in pretty bad luck," Morgan said casually, before getting to the point, "What about Wind Chime? How is she?"

Aside from the initial screen time given to her as a popular contestant, Fengling's inaction meant that the staff responsible for cutting the shots had long since stopped paying attention to her, so outsiders had no way of knowing her situation.

Sabrina said, "I've never encountered that. Don't you think that if I had a wind chime by my side, I might have been eliminated?"

Morgan nodded, thinking that made sense; he didn't believe Wind Chime couldn't beat Locke.

Sabrina was in very poor condition and had no time to continue exchanging pleasantries with her fellow alumni. She struggled to walk out of the training field.

I kept an eye on the points leaderboard as I walked.

St. Louis College's rankings are abysmal, best left unmentioned. The only noteworthy point is a surprising name in the top ten of the individual points rankings.

Besides Lin Yuanran, the highest-ranking St. Louis student is "Shadow" Allen, who is around 30th.

"Wind chimes, oh wind chimes, what are you doing?" Sabrina murmured.

She thought she knew her very well, but she found that it was far from enough.

……

……

It took several days to lay the trap, and after everything was ready, the group decided to carry out the plan that very night.

Like humans, Starkar is a diurnal species; under the cover of night, it becomes sluggish in all aspects. Just like someone who has been exhausted all day, you can't expect them to be full of energy at two in the morning.

As night falls, it's time for the hunters, who have deliberately rested during the day, to come out into the world.

During the trap-setting process, the six hunters followed Starkar to keep track of its movements.

After several days of observation, the group discovered that Starkar, who needed to sleep at night, was not always asleep; he would occasionally wake up to eat or drink.

What the six of them had to do was to take advantage of the moment when it was drinking water, try to attack it, provoke it, and then lead it into the trap area.

The night is beautiful tonight, the moonlight is bright, and like the tranquil Torreg, it makes Wendy miss her hometown.

She glanced at the silver-haired boy and found that he seemed to have no particular thoughts, his eyes fixed on the giant beast without any distraction.

They waited and waited, but the giant beast never woke up to drink water.

“I say, why don’t we just attack it while it’s asleep!” said the impatient winged Robin.

"You're so impatient!" Sylph rolled her eyes at him. "Starkar's sleep isn't very deep. While he's asleep, all his senses are on high alert, so our attacks won't be very effective."

But it's different when it drinks water. At that time, it buries its head on the ground, reducing its awareness of its surroundings, which is the best time to strike.

"All right……"

The long night made the waiting anxious.

At four o'clock in the morning, Starkar was still fast asleep, showing no sign of waking up.

The two girls were already yawning from exhaustion. It turns out that humans are diurnal creatures; no matter how well you rest during the day, you'll still feel sleepy in the early hours of the morning.

Lin Yuanran was alright. In his original world, he was a night owl, and with plenty of points as bait, he was more than happy to stay up all night.

Xia Zuo is also an abnormal person, just as energetic as Lin Yuanran.

The two had only known each other for a few days and were not familiar with each other, so they didn't have much to talk about.

Just as the two were getting bored and thinking that the night had failed, something happened near Starkar.

A sudden piercing sound shattered the silence of the night sky.

The two sprang to their feet, and Sylph and the others also perked up, rushing to check on them.

A beam of light, or more accurately, a spear, was thrown from afar, piercing through the clouds and cutting through the wind.

The target was none other than the lightly sleeping Starkar.

The group exchanged glances. Could it be that... someone did what Robin suggested and attacked the sleeping Starkar?

Looking at the spear, Lin Yuanran suddenly remembered that the Fighting Arena had a class called "Templar Knight," and becoming a member of that class automatically granted him such a weapon. It could be concealed during normal times but conjured and used in battle, similar to Lü Jianming's "Han Guang."

People from the Fighting Arena?

The spear's "determination to have mercy on mankind" did not harm the thick-skinned Starkar; instead, it awakened and enraged him.

It let out a deafening roar and charged furiously toward the source of the spear.

Do you guys know that you hate being disturbed when you're sleeping?

It was clear that more than one person was making the move, and they had prepared in advance. As Starkar drew closer, a net of light descended from the sky, enveloping it.

At this moment, Lin Yuanran and the others also saw clearly who was hunting Starkar.

The opposing side also seemed to be a combination of several forces, and the spear belonged to an old acquaintance of Lin Yuanran, Feney's cousin Jamie Roberts.

Lin Yuanran didn't recognize any of the people around him; they were probably from other forces. Because they were not well-known, Lin Yuanran didn't pay any attention to them.

"They are really brave," Lin Yuanran exclaimed.

They are now so similar to Xia Zuo, who went straight for the kill before. They underestimated Starkar's strength and will suffer a great loss.

Everyone looked on with pity.

As expected, the seemingly powerful light net was easily broken free by the giant beast. It roared and spat out a clear liquid from its gaping maw. The powerful impact sent Jamie and the others flying.

Just as Lin Yuanran was silently mourning for Jamie, another strange noise erupted from the nearby area.

Lin Yuanran was taken aback. What was going on? Could there be another expert?

pat.

A crisp sound echoed through the night, and then the already pitch-black night became completely invisible.

However, the range of this oracle is very narrow. The endless darkness only enveloped Starkar, and Lin Yuanran was unaffected, at most losing his sight.

The expressions on the faces of the six people were absolutely priceless.

No, it turns out we're not the only ones eyeing Starkar.

This once peaceful grassland was transformed into a bustling market after someone took the lead in taking action.
