Chapter 275 274: Tang Yi's Urgency

"I don't know if I'm being too sensitive, but I've checked the Destiny-Seeking Disc and there's nothing wrong with it. It's pointing right here, but..."

Jiao Zhiming looked around and said, "But we can't find any sign of those three female examinees here."

"Maybe they were here before and then left. Let's search a little further ahead. They couldn't have gotten far," Shao Yushan said after a moment of thought.

"Okay."

Jiao Zhiming nodded, and the two of them once again vanished into the night.

After the two left, the three women in the tree—Mu Xianling and the others—finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling incredibly lucky. A moment ago, the hairs on their arms had stood on end, terrified of being discovered by the two examinees from the West District.

But thankfully, Mi Lu's treasure was extremely effective. No matter how powerful the two West District examinees were, they couldn't sense their auras or find any trace of them.

It was also a good thing they had prepared for the worst beforehand, taking out this treasure that concealed their auras and climbing up into the tree.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"I think they're gone!" Tang Shu said, glancing in the direction Shao Yushan and the other man had left.

"Let's go now. We'll head in the opposite direction and get as far away as we can. From what I overheard those two from the West District saying, it seems they have a special treasure that can detect our location. That's not good news for us. Plus, they looked like they wouldn't rest until they found us. We're in trouble now," Mu Xianling said with a frown.

"So you're saying that after half a double hour, when the Hidden Treasure Box's effect wears off, they'll be able to find us again?" Mi Lu asked, staring at Mu Xianling in shock, her face pale.

"Yes," Mu Xianling nodded.

"What are we going to do? *Sob*..." Hearing this, Tang Shu started whimpering again, her expression filled with despair.

"What else can we do? Our only hope is that with the Hidden Treasure Box's concealment function, we can hold out until Tang Yi finds us! Then, we'll be saved."

Mu Xianling gazed into the distance, a glimmer of hope mixed with a trace of helplessness in her eyes.

Mu Xianling desperately hoped that in this difficult moment, Tang Yi would appear like a magnificent hero on a white steed to rescue them. 'But,' she knew, 'the Little Extreme Sacred Land is so vast. The chances of Tang Yi finding us are incredibly slim. Unless we get extremely lucky, we might not see him again before we die.'

"I guess this is our only option. I hope Tang Yi finds us soon," Mi Lu said helplessly.

"I hope Brother Tang Yi finds us soon, *sob*... I love Brother Tang Yi," Tang Shu blurted out between sobs.

Supporting one another, the three women stepped back into the darkness, heading in the opposite direction from Shao Yushan and his companion.

...

Time flew by, and the terrifying first night passed just like that.

During that night, an unknown number of examinees died at the hands of Hex Anmin's group or were killed by Demon Beasts. Countless rivers of blood stained the earth red, and a dark cloud hung over the entire Little Extreme Sacred Land, thick with the pungent stench of blood.

However, this was only the beginning.

On the second day of the House Entrance Examination, Tang Yi woke early. He led the North District examinees forward, searching for other students from their district while hunting Demon Beasts and forcing examinees from the Three Major Zones to withdraw from the examination.

By the end of the day, Tang Yi's results were remarkable.

They found a total of twenty-one more North District examinees. Added to the thirty-plus from before, Tang Yi's team had now grown to a size of fifty people.

In addition, they forced two hundred and seven examinees from the Three Major Zones to withdraw from the House Entrance Examination, killed seventy-seven, and seized one hundred and sixty-five Level 4 Demon Beast Crystals and two Level 5 Demon Beast Crystals.

Besides what they seized, the team led by Tang Yi also killed a total of one hundred and three Level 4 Demon Beasts and five Level 5 Demon Beasts, obtaining one hundred and three Level 4 Demon Beast Crystals and five Level 5 Demon Beast Crystals.

In total, the team led by Tang Yi had acquired two hundred and sixty-eight Level 4 Demon Beast Crystals and seven Level 5 Demon Beast Crystals for the day.

As for distribution, all the Level 5 Demon Beast Crystals went to Tang Yi, since he had killed those beasts by himself. The remaining Level 4 Demon Beast Crystals were distributed evenly among the North District examinees. By this calculation, every person from the North District received at least four Demon Beast Crystals that day.

Combined with their earnings from the previous day, many of the North District examinees were already halfway to completing the mission required by the House Entrance Examination!

This made the North District examinees incredibly excited. They felt lucky to have met Tang Yi in the nick of time, and even luckier that he was one of their own!

If not for Tang Yi, their mission wouldn't have been so easy; in fact, it would have been questionable whether they could even survive until the end of the examination.

But now, after meeting Tang Yi, not only were they completing the House Entrance Examination mission with ease, but those once-arrogant and prideful examinees from the Three Major Zones were now acting like pathetic grandchildren before them, either weeping and wailing or kneeling and begging for mercy.

This brought immense satisfaction to the North District examinees' pride. They felt absolutely fantastic. The gloom from being previously humiliated and looked down upon by the examinees of the Three Major Zones vanished without a trace, and their confidence soared to new heights!

Of course, it was all thanks to Tang Yi. Only with him could the North District examinees achieve all this!

Therefore, the North District examinees now looked at Tang Yi with eyes full of reverence, as if they were gazing at a great senior or a superstar idol.

But...

Unlike the happy North District examinees, Tang Yi's brow was furrowed with worry. Today, he had advanced to become a Six-star Battle King, his power rising to another level, but he still wasn't happy.

Because...

Tang Yi hadn't found a single one of the four people he was looking for: Mu Xianling, Tang Piaomiao, Tang Shu, and Tang Baijie!

These four were the people Tang Yi cared about most right now, yet he hadn't found any of them. This made Tang Yi extremely worried, afraid that Mu Xianling and the others had met with some disaster.

So, just as the second day ended and before the sun had risen on the third, Tang Yi woke everyone up. They began searching for Mu Xianling's group earlier than usual and didn't stop until late into the night.

On the third day, Tang Yi's team expanded to seventy people. They killed and forced countless examinees from the Three Major Zones to withdraw, obtained innumerable Demon Beast Crystals, and again reaped a huge harvest. But... they still found no sign of Mu Xianling's group. It was as if the girls had evaporated, vanishing from the Little Extreme Sacred Land without a single trace.

By the fourth day, Tang Yi had the North District examinees waking up even earlier and going to bed even later!

This left the North District examinees following Tang Yi utterly exhausted. Everyone could feel Tang Yi's urgency. Although they were tired, Tang Yi was the one who had helped them achieve their current success, and he was the one who had saved them from dire straits. So, despite their exhaustion, no one dared to complain.

However... Bai Ye couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

He noticed that Tang Yi's state of mind was seriously off! In the previous days, whenever Tang Yi encountered examinees from the Three Major Zones, he would avoid killing if possible, simply forcing them to crush their 'Help Stones' and withdraw from the House Entrance Examination!

But today, when Tang Yi encountered examinees from the Three Major Zones, something was different. He acted with incredible ruthlessness. Even as opponents surrendered and decided to give up on the House Entrance Examination, eighty percent of them were killed by Tang Yi's hand!

In this one day alone, several hundred people had died! That was more than the total of all the previous days combined!
