72: Chapter 72 Come at me all at once!
The ranking match was held in an open area. Since it was an ordinary ranking match, there were no Professional scoring devices; it was just a rough prediction of each team's strength. Thus, the drawing of lots used the most primitive method...
"Why is there still a ranking match?"
After hearing this tedious match process, Chu Ran felt like he had been scammed...
He had originally planned to go to the Desert alone, but it was truly difficult to find his way in this vast Desert without a local guide. That was why he agreed to come here...
"Uh... this is a necessary process for exploring the Land of Death..." Jiang Tao explained.
"Is there a faster way? Or does anyone know the place? We'll head over directly now," Chu Ran spoke.
"This..."
They looked at each other, no one able to make a decision.
The main reason was that the Menghala Desert was different from other Lands of Death; its specific location changed every moment. No one in the entire Tianxuan could explain this clearly...
Some said it was because the Lord in the Menghala Desert was an Ant Insect Emperor, and worker ants were constantly digging and filling holes, leading to this strange phenomenon...
Without an experienced pathfinder accompanying them, it was impossible to tell which was a new hole and which was a trap...
Many Professionals who went alone in the past never returned...
Just then, the black man from Nanxiu Country shouted toward them, "That Dragon Country kid who arrived last, get over here and take a beating from Captain Kendi!"
Chu Ran walked to the combat area, confused. Opposite him was the captain of Nanxiu Country, a burly black man...
"If you admit defeat now, I can spare your precious Beast Tamer's Pet," Kendi said indifferently, with a playful look on his face.
But Chu Ran just yawned, ignoring him completely.
Seeing this expression, Kendi immediately became displeased. "Cunning brat! Don't think about stalling for time! The sooner you get beaten, the sooner you can recover!"
"Is it only one-on-one? Can you all come at me at once?" Chu Ran said calmly.
Faced with this sudden question, not only Kendi but even the team members from other countries below the stage looked surprised.
"You want a team match? Don't worry, that will happen later..."
"No, I mean, can you all come at me together? I'm in a bit of a hurry," Chu Ran interrupted the explanation and said calmly.
"Come at him together? Does this kid want to fight many by himself?!"
"He's so arrogant, I feel like punching him myself!" a contestant from another country below the stage said.
"You like being ganged up on? Then we can certainly satisfy you," Kendi laughed. "Just don't cry and call me 'daddy' later."
After saying that, he commanded the other members of his team to enter the field.
On the other side, Mu Zhiyu and the others originally wanted to go up, but they were stopped by Chu Ran...
Once all five members of Nanxiu Country were on the field, Chu Ran looked at the middle-aged man in the corner, Wenger.
"Are you joining the fight?"
The sudden question made Wenger's scalp tingle. He laughed, "Mentors cannot participate. Young man, if a mentor takes the field, what's left for the youngsters..."
After getting the news that he wasn't participating, Chu Ran turned his head, completely ignoring whatever he said next.
"He's going to fight one against five?!"
"If those little black guys get beaten, they should just roll back and pick cotton..."
Teams from other countries began to mock and jeer.
This guy from Dragon Country was too arrogant. He wanted to fight one against five right away; his eyes were practically in the sky!
But to everyone's shock, it wasn't over yet!
Chu Ran looked toward them again: "You guys come at me too."
What?
This person was arrogant to such an extent; he wasn't just fighting one country, he was planning to fight six countries alone!
"You dare play me!" Hearing this, Kendi instantly flew into a rage.
This person wasn't preparing for a battle at all!
Almost everyone present was a top genius from their respective countries. How could he possibly fight everyone combined by himself?
This was clearly playing everyone for fools!
Fire spiritual energy instantly gathered in Kendi's hand. A ready-to-fire Flame Missile formed in an instant and shot toward Chu Ran.
"Boom."
A sky-shaking explosion instantly kicked up a storm of wild sand!
Kendi raised his head confidently. He was sure the opponent wouldn't be able to react to this sudden strike. With a Beast Tamer's weak body, he might even be dead...
But after the yellow sand dissipated, a wave of heat hit them, causing everyone present to turn pale!
The person standing at the center of the fire explosion hadn't suffered the slightest injury, and behind him, a terrifying Flame Sky Sparrow had appeared!
That terrifying aura made everyone present, including the mentors in the teams, feel a sense of fear!
The Flame Sky Sparrow casually threw out a few Flame Missiles that were much stronger than Kendi's charged one...
Kendi, standing at the front, immediately took out a Spiritual Tool to block, but he was still sent flying, landing head-first in a sand pile...
This scene left everyone present stunned!
Those who had a deeper understanding of Beast Tamers could clearly distinguish that the grade of this Flame Sky Sparrow was definitely not something a Monarch Grade could reach!
The Flame Missiles casually thrown out just now were enough to insta-kill some ordinary Monarch Grade Demonic Beasts!
This is definitely Saint Spirit Level!
And an extremely terrifying Saint Spirit Grade Beast Tamers Pet at that!
The other members of the Nanxiu Country team immediately stepped back a few paces, fearing they would be caught in the explosion...
There was no longer any of the previous arrogance in their eyes, replaced by a clear, dazed look...
"You all come at me together," Chu Ran said, still expressionless.
But now, no one dared to look at Chu Ran with that same attitude...
Because he seemingly could really do it...
Challenging all the geniuses present with his own strength!
Wenger even felt a bit of relief in his heart. He was glad he hadn't gone up to teach the other party a lesson because of that sentence earlier...
Otherwise, the one stuck in the sand dune opposite might have been him...
Although he had reached the Ninth Revolution, his application of laws was not yet that proficient. He was currently just an older Kendi with slightly worse reaction time...
"What exactly do you want to do?"
The captain of Storm Country asked. With this Dragon Country person's strength, he shouldn't care about this trial of sneaking into the Menghala Desert just to get some spiritual resources...
"I want to be the first to enter Desert," Chu Ran said calmly.
"We won't fight for it anymore. You go first, your Dragon Country enters first!" the Storm Country captain said helplessly.
With such a Zenith Saint Spirit Grade Beast Tamers Pet standing there, who could beat him?
"I can't find the place."
Hearing this, everyone's faces were full of speechlessness, and they all looked at Wenger.
As the country closest to the Desert, if anyone in this group was most familiar with the entrance, it had to be Mentor Wenger...
"I'll take you..." Wenger forced a smile and said calmly.
"The Desert's entrance changes all the time. Finding it requires some local secrets." Wenger took out a strange-looking lizard from his pocket and placed it on the ground...
"This is a Pathfinding Lizard. It has a special way of finding paths. The direction it faces is the entrance. It will cry out every hundred miles it is from the entrance..."
"What if the distance is within a hundred miles?"
"Then it won't cry, it'll just stay in place, like it's doing now..." Wenger smiled, then he suddenly realized something and looked at the Pathfinding Lizard.
It was currently staying still in place, not making a single sound, and its body couldn't help but start trembling...
The next moment, the sand in this area began to slowly sink...
"Run!" Wenger almost roared!
