Everyone instinctively felt a tightening in their chests, and Su Yu, who had already killed four green-skinned monsters, was no exception. He couldn't help but grip the wooden stick tightly with his left hand, and three small black scales emerged on the back of his left hand.
Qin Jiagui gritted his teeth and let out a muffled grunt. He was the first to rush out, followed by Zhang Zhongmou and the student beside him who also possessed strange powers, and then Su Yu...
When the six green-skinned monsters saw humans rushing out, they stopped pounding on the iron gate, gripped their wooden sticks tightly, and charged towards Qin Jiagui, Zhang Zhongmou, and the others. They waved the wooden sticks in their hands and let out sharp cries.
With a loud "bang" sound, Qin Jiagui waved his right hand holding the stick. A little black spot like metal emerged on the back of his hand. The wooden stick in his hand collided with that of a green-skinned monster, and both of them let out muffled grunts and stumbled backward.
Zhang Zhongmou let out a low growl and swung his stick. With a "bang" sound, his face changed drastically. His arms shook violently, and the wooden stick actually flew out of his hand, and his body swayed and fell.
Su Yu, who was right behind him, was stunned. Hadn't Zhang Zhongmou killed a green-skinned monster? Logically, his strength should not be weaker than that of a green-skinned monster. So why...
Before he could think more, several green-skinned monsters rushed up. Another student who was with Zhang Zhongmou was affected by Zhang Zhongmou's fall and became flustered. Although he had strange powers and blocked the wooden stick of one green-skinned monster, he was hit in the chest by the wooden stick of another green-skinned monster.
He immediately spat out blinding blood. Everyone, whether students or teachers, who saw this inside the iron gate couldn't help but cry out in shock.
Among them, a girl rushed up like crazy and shouted hoarsely: "Ye Xuan—"
Then several people immediately grabbed this girl, and someone shouted: "Lin Xiao, don't be impulsive! Ye Xuan will be okay—" The scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Charge— Don't be afraid—" Someone else shouted wildly from behind.
Su Yu's right arm couldn't move, and he originally didn't plan to rush up. According to his estimation, with six green-skinned monsters and thirteen people with strange powers, they should be able to deal with them easily. In fact, most people present had the same thought as him.
But now he realized it wasn't the case. The speed of the green-skinned monsters was faster than theirs to some extent. Moreover, the small door beside the iron gate was too small. One person could easily run out, but when two people went together, they would easily get stuck. Because everyone was eager to rush out, three people at the back got squeezed together and couldn't get out. As a result, it only took a few seconds of delay.
Due to this short time difference, the people behind didn't rush up in time. Coupled with Zhang Zhongmou's fall and another student named Ye Xuan being hit in the chest and falling down, it turned out that only Qin Jiagui and Su Yu were left to face the six green-skinned monsters.
"Jiagui!"
"Su Yu!"
Vaguely, they heard someone shouting from inside the iron gate. The situation suddenly became extremely critical. Su Yu let out a low growl and rushed up. Seeing a green-skinned monster about to swing its stick at Zhang Zhongmou who had fallen to the ground, Su Yu didn't have time to think and swung his stick heavily.
None of them had received professional training and didn't know many moves or striking techniques. They could only swing and smash in such a simple way. Fortunately, these green-skinned monsters were not very skilled hunters either and were almost as clumsy as them.
With both sides at the same level, Su Yu's terrifying strange power came into play.
After absorbing the crystals of four green-skinned monsters and growing three black scales on the back of his hand, Su Yu didn't know what the function of these black scales was. But he knew that the strange power in his left arm was extremely powerful. With one swing of the stick, he actually smashed the green-skinned monster that was about to harm Zhang Zhongmou, along with its stick, flying horizontally.
With a "bang" sound, the green-skinned monster let out a miserable scream, rolled over, and fell heavily. People in the distance cried out in shock. Su Yu rushed into the group of monsters and swung his stick again.
This time, his wooden stick collided with that of the green-skinned monster coming towards him. However, the green-skinned monster's wooden stick couldn't block Su Yu's. Instead, it was rebounded by Su Yu's terrifying force and hit the monster's own head.
With a "poof" sound, the monster's brains burst out. The green-skinned monster swayed and fell to the ground. The black crystal in its head turned into a black light and disappeared into Su Yu's right hand.
There was a muffled grunt from Qin Jiagui beside him. Su Yu turned his head and saw Qin Jiagui falling over. Then his right shoulder ached sharply, and he couldn't help but let out a scream. Just as he was distracted, his right shoulder was hit by a stick, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere, almost being smashed to pieces.
"Ah—" Su Yu let out a wild scream and swung his arm backward. The wooden stick flew out of his hand and heavily hit the chest of the green-skinned monster that had just hit him.
Immediately, there was a crisp sound of bones breaking. The green-skinned monster was knocked back more than a dozen steps by the wooden stick thrown by Su Yu's burst of strength. Then it fell over with a crash. A black light flashed in its body, and another black crystal disappeared into Su Yu's left hand.
Although he absorbed two crystals in a row, the fourth scale didn't emerge, and the intensity of the strange power didn't increase much. It seemed that the more he killed, the less effective the enhancement became.
Although he had killed two green-skinned monsters in a row, Su Yu was also surrounded. Three green-skinned monsters surrounded him who was bare-handed.
"Su Yu—" Inside the iron gate, Su Yu rushed up screaming. She gripped the doorpost tightly. Everyone could see that Su Yu was in danger and was afraid that he would lose his life immediately. The blood on his right shoulder had already dyed half of his body red.
"Damn it—" Su Yu gritted his teeth. The strange power in his left arm became restless. Instinctively, he swung it. Immediately, his left arm was hit hard by the wooden stick. His left arm ached as if it were broken. But unexpectedly, at the same time as the intense pain, his left arm actually bounced the wooden stick away. This left arm only hurt but wasn't injured.
Su Yu wrapped his left arm around and clamped the neck of the green-skinned monster. The terrifying power burst out, and with a crisp "crack" sound, blood gushed out of the green-skinned monster's mouth, and its neck was broken by him.
Finally, the other teachers and students with strange powers behind also rushed up and surrounded the remaining green-skinned monsters.
Several sharp screams and muffled grunts sounded. One student let out a muffled grunt and stumbled backward, and another green-skinned monster was dealt with.
When Su Yu pushed away the green-skinned monster whose neck he had broken, the other green-skinned monsters had also been eliminated.
This time, all the people in the team had already gone out of the iron gate, including the eighteen ordinary people. Looking at the bloody scene in front of them, their palms were covered in cold sweat.
All six green-skinned monsters had been eliminated, but on their side, one student with strange powers had also died. The student's name was Ye Xuan. At the moment, someone was crying loudly, and a girl was throwing herself on the body, crying bitterly. Obviously, this girl named Lin Xiao was his girlfriend.
A sense of sadness enveloped the surroundings.
Su Yu's right shoulder was almost smashed to pieces, Qin Jiagui's left arm was injured, and although Zhang Zhongmou fell, fortunately, he wasn't hurt.
Among them, Su Yu's performance once again caught everyone's attention. Although he was injured, he alone had dealt with three green-skinned monsters. If it hadn't been for Su Yu's heroic performance just now, Qin Jiagui and Zhang Zhongmou, who rushed to the front, would have lost their lives on the spot.
Su Yu looked at the fourth scale finally emerging on the back of his hand, and an inexplicable sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
Due to the sudden injury, after a simple bandaging on the spot, except for the deceased student, the remaining thirty people, carrying the last hope of more than a thousand people in the whole school, stepped into the unknown forest.
And the iron gate of the school was locked tightly again, waiting for the return of the people two days later. However, in the team of thirty-one people, one person died unfortunately just after going out. Among the remaining thirty people, how many of them could come back alive after two days?
Everyone had a gloomy face, and their hearts were as heavy as if weighed down by lead.
"Su Yu, you must come back safe and sound." Su Yu silently prayed in her heart. She gripped the iron post of the iron gate tightly with both hands and watched from a distance as Su Yu and the other thirty people left through the gap of the door.
Although Su Yu's right shoulder was simply bandaged, it hurt severely. He frowned constantly along the way, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his face.
It was thanks to the strange power in his left arm that was playing an incredible and subtle role. It not only increased the speed of injury recovery but also reduced the pain. Otherwise, Su Yu would have long fainted from the pain.
Outside the school was a vast forest. The forest stretched as far as the eye could see all around. The only thing they could do was to choose a direction and keep walking forward, hoping to get out of the forest, or to encounter other rescue teams, or at the worst, to find some food.
The amount of food needed by more than a thousand people in the college was astonishing.
Since Su Yu's right shoulder was injured and his right arm was fixed and couldn't move, Zhang Zhongmou carried his backpack as well and closely followed beside Su Yu.
Su Yu remembered something and asked in a low voice: "Zhongmou, didn't you also kill a green-skinned monster? You should also have strange powers. Why did it seem that your strength couldn't match that of the green-skinned monster at that time?"
Logically speaking, after absorbing the black crystal in the body of a green-skinned monster, one's strength should not be inferior to that of a green-skinned monster.
Zhang Zhongmou touched the half of his face wrapped in white gauze and said somewhat strangely: "My... my strange power... is here."
Su Yu was taken aback.
At the same moment, a "rustling" sound came from all around. In the blink of an eye, the thirty people were surrounded.
