Chapter 178 - Chapter 176: End Of The Exercise

Huh?

This spider...

Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow, and the Spider Child, who had been dangling in mid-air in front of him, felt a jolt in his heart!

It's over!

There was an ambush here?!

As expected, humans are all utterly wicked!!

"Don't come any closer..." Spider Child's words were only halfway through when Lin Qiye's eyes changed instantly.

Not letting the spider escape, Lin Xi Chen flicked her fingers, binding it in golden chains; rendered completely immobile and helpless, it could only stare helplessly at these two "human monsters."

Its left eye was as black as ink, and its right eye was as bright as the sun. Two completely different divine powers surged into the spider's mind through its gaze, causing excruciating pain, as if it were about to tear its already injured soul apart!

"Aa..."

The spider child was mentally injured by the sudden divine power, its body stiffened in mid-air, and unable to spit out spider silk anymore, it could only fall towards the ground like a stone!

Lin Qiye groaned, his face turning pale. He had just recovered somewhat when he forcibly used the power of the two gods, which put considerable pressure on his mind.

However, now is not the time to worry about these things.

Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly, and an extreme darkness spread out from him. With a flick of his finger, the two straight swords beside him trembled violently!

Clang—!

The twin swords were drawn in an instant, like two black snakes, rushing wildly along the falling Spider Child's body!

With the blessing of the Darkest Ruins, two straight blades rapidly approached the Spider Child's body as it fell naturally, and pierced its body just as it was about to fall 50 meters away!

Two straight blades were deeply embedded in the spider's body, falling out of the Dark God Ruins before crashing heavily to the ground!

Lin Qiye slowly stood up from the rooftop, looked down, and saw the grayish-white spider lying motionless on the ground, its blood gradually staining the surrounding ground red...

At the same time, a warm current flowed into his body from the void; it was the soul of the Spider Child he had killed with his own hands.

Lin Qiye took a deep breath, then sat down on the ground as if completely exhausted. He rubbed his head and muttered to himself:

"Strange, I just heard the spider speak human language... So the aftereffects of mental exhaustion are this serious?"

"Yeah, I think you really need another vacation." Lin Xi Chen chuckled as she twirled the glowing electric racket she had summoned in her hand before it dissipated.

Shen Qingzhu and the others quickly chased to the ground floor of Building 3. When they saw the spider's corpse lying on the ground and the two straight knives stuck in it, a look of shock appeared in their eyes, and they all looked up at the roof.

The boy sat on the edge of the rooftop, shrugged, and said, "You're too late."

"..." Shen Qingzhu's expression was somewhat helpless.

They had worked so hard to set up for so long, and chased it for most of the training camp, only to have it intercepted by Lin siblings in the end... But it's all for the best, at least it can avoid casualties in a direct battle.

Shen Qingzhu instinctively glanced at Lin Xi Chen, who was curiously poking at the spider's carcass. When she looked up, their eyes met; Shen Qingzhu's eyes reddened slightly, and he looked away, leaving Lin Xi Chen bewildered.

From time to time, he stole a few glances at Lin Xi Chen.

"You're out, does that mean the problem with Building 3 is solved?" Shen Qingzhu decided to ask and change subject.

"One has been solved."

"One? Is there another one?"

"Right."

"Aren't you going to help?"

Lin Qiye shook his head. "I'm tired. Let others handle the rest..."

Now that he knew it was just a drill and that being mysteriously killed wouldn't kill him, there was no need for him to force himself to find the last mysterious target. After all, he needed to leave some room for others to make their moves...

Just then, Molly emerged from Building 3, covered in blood and dragging a broken giant hand. Behind her followed Azi and other female soldiers, each seemingly stained with blood, their eyes filled with heroic spirit.

Molly tossed the severed arm to the ground and calmly said, "The last one is here."

Lin Qiye asked in surprise, "Why is there only one hand left?"

"I didn't control the vibration frequency properly, and everything else shattered into pieces and stuck to the wall," Molly said expressionlessly.

"..."

Lin Qiye had originally planned to collect this mysterious corpse to prepare for the ritual of summoning magic, but now that only this hand is left, the plan has completely fallen through.

Fortunately, there's still one left.

Lin Qiye grabbed the scattered scabbards from the ground, leaped off the roof, lightly touched the outer wall with his toes, and landed gracefully on the ground.

He reached out and pulled the two straight knives from Spider Child's body, preparing to drag its corpse away, when the sound of a car humming in the distance came from afar.

All the new recruits turned around and looked at the road in the distance.

A fleet of camouflage jeeps sped by, their roaring engines sounding like the howls of wild beasts, raising clouds of dust, and the figures of the instructors could be vaguely seen inside.

The vehicle slowly came to a stop, and the instructors got out one by one. Chief Instructor Yuan Gang walked slowly toward the new recruits with his hands behind his back.

Upon seeing this formation, all the new recruits unconsciously straightened their heads and stood at attention.

Yuan Gang's gaze swept over everyone, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Very well, I hereby declare this 'Carnival Day' exercise over!"

Upon hearing the word "exercise," most people were taken aback, especially the female soldiers trapped in Building 3. They had all witnessed their comrades die before their eyes, and they were determined to seek revenge against the [Sound Hunters]. They never imagined that this was an exercise.

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, none of the personnel 'sacrificed' in this exercise are in mortal danger." Yuan Gang paused, a hint of appreciation appearing in his eyes.

"It's been so long... since I've seen such a spectacular 'Carnival Day'."

He paused, then continued, "While you were working hard, all of our instructors were scoring each of your performances. Tomorrow morning, your scores will be posted on the bulletin board, and you can check them yourself then."

"All training sessions today and tomorrow are cancelled. Take a good rest."

"Disband!"

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered and scattered, but Lin Qiye remained silent at the very back, dragging the Spider Child's corpse as he silently retreated...

"Ahem."

Upon hearing Yuan Gang's cough, Lin Qiye paused.

"What do you want to do?" Yuan Gang walked up to Lin Qiye and asked in a deep voice.

Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, then said, "Me and Xiao Chen... want to eat braised spider hands."

"All the 'mysterious' corpses that died in this exercise need to be retrieved. You won't be able to have braised spider hands." Yuan Gang shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye had no choice but to release the Spider Child's corpse, his heart filled with regret.

Just then, another instructor walked up to Yuan Gang with a strange expression and whispered something in his ear.

After a long pause, Yuan Gang silently turned his head and stared into Lin Qiye's eyes...

"Hand over the [Rubik's Cube's] corpse."

"Huh?" Lin Qiye blinked innocently. "[Rubik's Cube]? It doesn't have a corpse?"

"No body?"

"Yes, it was a Rubik's Cube. After I chopped it up, it vanished like sand, leaving nothing behind." Lin Qiye's expression was very sincere.

Yuan Gang looked at him with a strange expression, then shook his head after a moment, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

"No... then that's fine."
