182: Chapter 182 Jiang Hanqiu Relives Her Childhood

The six of them sat on the ground and began to chat.

Jiang Hanqiu pointed at the dark red sky burning in the distance and spoke first: "Have you guys been to the Lava Mountains yet?"

Xu Qingfang understood Jiang Hanqiu's meaning, knowing that the Lava Mountains were their target for this trip, and nodded without hiding anything.

"The Lava Mountains have a large number of Lava Salamanders and Sulfur Bats, as well as the powerful Molten Throat Dragon. It's a good place to farm points."

Xu Qingfang's account made Jiang Hanqiu's eyes light up.

As the saying goes, a good warrior has no illustrious feats. The overall strength of Jiang Hanqiu's team was undoubtedly stronger than that of the Three Heavenly Kings' team.

They hadn't even exerted their full strength before those powerful Pet Beasts were defeated like dry weeds before a gust of wind.

To increase their practical combat score, they needed to perform eye-catching maneuvers. For this reason, Jiang Hanqiu's team constantly challenged strong enemies.

The risks and opportunities of the Lava Mountains coexisted, making it perfectly suited for the capable Jiang Hanqiu team to earn practical combat points.

All three of them looked delighted.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of moving at night, the three would have set off immediately to challenge powerful Pet Beasts and race against time.

While the three suppressed their urge to rush to the Lava Mountains, Yun Qingrang suddenly remembered something else.

"Have you been to the Frostspine Snow Ridge?"

As the player who had faced Xue Qin in the Campus Championship, Yun Qingrang clearly remembered that Heart-Confusing Fox having the Mimicry talent.

If the Three Heavenly Kings hadn't been to the Frostspine Snow Ridge, then the ones who caused the White Fluff Yeti riot could only be Xue Qin's team.

Having already learned what happened from Lu Chaoyang, the Three Heavenly Kings had long expected Yun Qingrang's question.

They immediately denied it flatly, even going so far as to mock Su Lixia and Xue Qin's blunder mercilessly.

"This Su Su is just weak!"

Yun Qingrang hesitated, looking as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Huo Ying raised his hand to wipe away non-existent sweat and explained: "This matter might be more serious than you think."

"Because they lost track of Xue Qin, the White Fluff Yetis have become more frenzied than ever, conducting a carpet search of the Frostspine Snow Ridge."

"To find the team that broke into their nest, the White Fluff Yetis are indiscriminately attacking candidate teams appearing in the Frostspine Snow Ridge, and have even expanded their search range beyond the ridge."

"Furthermore, the Pet Beasts in the Frostspine Snow Ridge and its outskirts have also started to go berserk under the stimulation of the White Fluff Yetis."

"Although those berserk Pet Beasts were calmed by an unknown force, the area around the Frostspine Snow Ridge has become extremely dangerous."

"Those White Fluff Yetis also seem to have started rioting, consciously gathering and approaching the Military Fortress."

The Three Heavenly Kings were completely dumbfounded upon hearing this.

From Huo Ying's explanation, it wasn't hard to judge that the situation had evolved from the White Fluff Yetis chasing Xue Qin to them assaulting the Military Fortress.

It was hard to imagine that in just one short day, the situation had deteriorated to this point.

Regardless of the subsequent situation, Su Lixia and Xue Qin, the two girls who caused the Pet Beast riot, would likely face sanctions.

"They're going to be singing the 'Iron Window Blues' sooner than us!"

Mo Yu closed his eyes slightly and gently rubbed his brow, mumbling thoughtfully while organizing the information in his mind.

Xu Qingfang stopped his merciless mocking.

Yue Yun scratched his head, turned to see Jiang Hanqiu also looking solemn as if in thought, and walked over.

"Smart guy, any thoughts?"

Jiang Hanqiu was a bit speechless at being called that by Yue Yun. He gave him a cross look, not intending to tell him.

"I do have some guesses, actually!"

"Let's hear it?"

"Never mind..."

Jiang Hanqiu hesitated and eventually shook his head.

Yun Qingrang and Huo Ying looked over, speechless.

This guy always managed to pique people's interest but then only told half the story. They didn't know who he had learned that from.

However, considering it was Yue Yun on the other side, Yun Qingrang and Huo Ying tacitly took a step back, distancing themselves from Jiang Hanqiu.

"Smart guy, you're not being very nice!"

Yue Yun's figure flashed quickly behind Jiang Hanqiu, and he unexpectedly picked up the entire man.

Everyone was shocked by Yue Yun's action; even their respective Pet Beasts stared at him in a daze.

"Let... let go of me!"

Jiang Hanqiu's face turned red as he struggled.

Despite having an outstanding height among boys his age, he was picked up by Yue Yun like a toy, his two legs flailing in the air.

Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu's gazes met.

The two suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Hanqiu's legs. A strong sense of panic immediately rose in Jiang Hanqiu's heart.

His contracted Pet Beast, the Steel Guardian, tried to intervene, but the Nether Horse squeezed in front, cleverly separating them.

"No, don't!"

Jiang Hanqiu struggled even more violently.

But in the eyes of the immensely strong Yue Yun, this level of struggle was no different from a child's.

The three of them carried Jiang Hanqiu to a large tree like this and, just like when they were kids, prepared to swing him against the tree.

At this moment, everyone knew their intention.

Not just the two Safety Officers, but even the three big shots at the Central Army Command Headquarters watching through the screens clamped their legs shut, all looking at Jiang Hanqiu with pitying eyes.

This was precisely that indelible childhood game in a boy's memory—'Tree Bumping'.

Jiang Hanqiu realized this too, hurriedly shouting "No!" while struggling even harder.

"Are you going to talk or not? Talk or not?"

Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu had sinister grins, so immersed in the act that they completely forgot they were supposed to be just scaring him.

Jiang Hanqiu was scared pale.

While a happy childhood was something to yearn for, he did not want to relive it in this way.

"I'll talk!" Jiang Hanqiu quickly surrendered.

Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu, having gained victory, didn't look happy; instead, they sighed with quite a bit of regret.

Jiang Hanqiu, having been set down, still had lingering fears. He scurried behind the Safety Officers to avoid the Three Heavenly Kings.

The two Safety Officers looked at the Three Heavenly Kings with complicated expressions.

Yun Qingrang and Huo Ying laughed so hard they couldn't stand straight.

"You finally got your karma, kid!"

"Let's see if you still dare to only tell half the story!"

Regarding their captain Jiang Hanqiu's painful ordeal, the two had no sympathy at all, and even wanted to see it again.

Jiang Hanqiu glared at them speechlessly, then looked up to see the Three Heavenly Kings approaching with ill intent.

"I just feel that the White Fluff Yetis' behavior is illogical, and the berserk Pet Beasts just happened to be calmed. That's why I have a guess."

Jiang Hanqiu hurriedly explained everything.

Mo Yu's expression didn't change upon hearing this, and he continued to press: "I've noticed those things too. So, what is your guess?"

"I guess this is meant to be utilized!"

At this point, Jiang Hanqiu regained his confidence.

Based on his understanding of the Beast Taming College Entrance Examination system and his familiarity with Chen Qingliu's style of doing things, he made a bold inference.

"The berserk Pet Beasts were definitely calmed by the Military Fortress, so there's no reason for them to ignore the White Fluff Yetis. They must want to use the White Fluff Yeti riot to test us."

"After all, something like a White Fluff Yeti riot seems very suitable to serve as an extra credit question, doesn't it?"

Jiang Hanqiu's words were like a flash of inspiration.

Mo Yu, who had already had his own suspicions, suddenly saw the light, connecting all those scattered pieces of information together.
