"Ah? Oh, okay." Hong Yuan was the first to react. She took a capture ball from her waist and strode over.
Yin Chen also snapped out of his daze and quickly followed.
The two of them took charge of four each, pressing the capture balls against the foreheads of the cheetahs.
With a flash of light, the robust cheetahs were sucked inside one by one without putting up any resistance.
Just then, the sound of steady footsteps came from the edge of the rocky forest.
Black Crow's figure appeared. Without pausing, he walked straight toward the center of the battlefield.
His face remained as cold as ever, looking as if someone owed him three hundred million, but his falcon-like eyes carried an unconcealable look of astonishment and doubt.
He walked past Hong Yuan and Yin Chen, who were collecting their spoils, and finally stopped in front of Chen Guan.
His gaze fell upon the lightning cheetah leader, which was crouching quietly at Chen Guan's feet like a loyal hound.
Sensing the aura of a powerhouse emanating from Black Crow, the Tier 5 demonic beast let out a warning growl from its throat.
Chen Guan raised his hand and gently patted the top of its head.
The cheetah leader's growl came to an abrupt halt.
Black Crow's pupils shrank slightly.
The willpower of a Tier 5 demonic beast far exceeded an ordinary person's imagination.
Moreover, this was a cheetah. They would usually rather detonate their own demonic cores than bow their heads to humans.
Could it be that this kid was just incredibly lucky and ran into a cowardly cheetah?
Black Crow could only console himself this way; only this kind of mental gymnastics could explain everything.
It couldn't possibly be his charismatic personality, or else he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
After all, the scene before him completely overturned all common sense. Anyone else in his shoes would be doubting their own sanity.
In less than half an hour, a wild Tier 5 predator in its prime had been turned into a domestic dog.
Black Crow finally stopped dwelling on it and pointed at the cheetah leader by Chen Guan's feet. "This counts toward your battle results too. Capturing a Tier 5 alive will give you a very high score."
Saying this, he himself paused for a moment.
Was there even a need to talk about scores with Chen Guan and the others?
He turned around and retreated back to the distant high ground to sulk in isolation.
He needed a quiet place to digest everything he had seen today.
Chen Guan paid no mind to Black Crow's departure. He patted the cheetah leader's neck and issued a new command.
"Lead the way."
The cheetah leader let out a low growl. Its dark purple eyes swept over the scents left behind by its kin, and then it locked onto the most unfamiliar demonic aura among them.
Better you than me.
It stood up, the muscles in its limbs tensing as it turned into a blur, dashing toward the southeast of the rocky forest.
"Follow it," Chen Guan's voice rang out over the earpiece.
Hong Yuan and Yin Chen immediately followed. Three people and one cheetah formed a brand-new hunting squad, beginning to sweep through this vast hunting ground with unprecedented efficiency.
...
Ten minutes later.
At the entrance of a hidden underground cave.
The cheetah leader stopped in its tracks and let out a warning hiss at the ground.
Its sharp claws carved several deep grooves into the rock, signaling that whatever was underground was not to be trifled with.
"What is it?" Hong Yuan, carrying her giant axe, felt the cold, sinister aura wafting from the cave.
"Crypt worms. Tier 3, social creatures, fond of ambushes, hard outer shells, and can secrete strong acid." Yin Chen's spiritual power had already permeated downward, quickly providing intelligence.
"There are probably more than fifty of them, and a Tier 4 broodmother at the very bottom."
This kind of target was the most troublesome.
Fighting them would consume a lot of time and effort, but the rewards wouldn't be high.
If this were a normal sweep, their squad would most likely choose to bypass it.
But now, the situation was different.
Chen Guan glanced at the cheetah leader. The latter understood, aiming its massive head at the inconspicuous cave entrance.
The next moment, space distorted.
A dark purple spatial blade silently sliced into the ground.
A few seconds later, a pungent stench accompanied by a piercing screech echoed from the depths of the cave.
Having completed its task, the cheetah leader stepped aside and licked its paws with its tongue, as if that strike just now had nothing to do with it.
Within Yin Chen's spiritual perception, the life signature of that Tier 4 broodmother deep in the crypt had already vanished.
It had been cleaved cleanly in half by that spatial blade.
"This... this works too?" Hong Yuan's mouth formed an O shape.
"With the broodmother dead, the rest are nothing to worry about," Yin Chen quickly judged. "Hong Yuan, stun them. I'll seal the exit with ice."
"You got it!"
Hong Yuan let out an excited roar, raising her giant axe high as an earthen yellow light flared brilliantly on the blade.
Boom!
A heavy strike capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks slammed fiercely into the ground above the cave.
Terrifying power transformed into a shockwave, unreasonably pouring into the entire crypt.
At the same time, the cold air controlled by Yin Chen sealed off all possible escape routes.
A moment later, Chen Guan and the other two walked into the devastated cave, only to see unconscious crypt worms littering the ground.
The entire process, from discovering the target to completely clearing the area, took less than three minutes.
Chen Guan hadn't even lifted a finger.
The next hour became an unforgettable experience for Hong Yuan and Yin Chen.
They thoroughly understood what overwhelming superiority truly meant.
Under the guidance of the cheetah leader acting as their scout, any camouflage lost its meaning.
A nest of highly venomous moths hidden in the crevices of a stone wall was stunned directly in their nest by the cheetah leader's spatial shockwave before they could scatter their deadly scales.
A group of giant desert scorpions skilled at burrowing ambushes had barely sensed the tremors on the surface before their nest was pierced from top to bottom by countless ice spears from Yin Chen, freezing them into ice sculptures.
A thick-skinned Tier 4 one-horned rhino with astonishing defense had its full attention drawn by Hong Yuan from the front, only for the cheetah leader to use spatial traversal to appear behind it, swatting its weak spot on the back of its head with a single paw, knocking it out cold on the spot.
Lure, crowd control, reap.
This assembly line was compressed to the extreme.
Chen Guan's role changed from the final reaper to an overseer.
Most of the time, he just followed behind, watching his temporary worker cheetah and two teammates cooperate tacitly, packing up and taking away one demonic beast nest after another.
Hong Yuan went from initial excitement to eventual numbness.
She felt less like a warrior and more like a demolition squad captain; she just aimed where she was told and swung her axe, and that was that.
Yin Chen's spiritual power consumption was massive, but the expression on his face grew increasingly bizarre.
He felt like he wasn't executing a high-difficulty hunting mission, but rather playing a casual farming game.
On the distant high ground, Black Crow had already put down the data pad in his hand.
He didn't want to watch anymore.
What was the point of recording these points? He might as well just write down 9999.
This battle record was unprecedented and likely would never be replicated.
And right now, less than a day had passed since the assessment began.
This wasn't an assessment; this was a mass species migration.
He even began to wonder if this was meant to test the students, or if it was testing the demonic beasts.
May there be no Chen Guan in heaven.
He silently burned incense in his heart for these demonic beasts; running into Chen Guan was a stroke of absolute luck for them.
And for himself, too.
