Chapter 221: Shocking Results! (2)
"A diamond thorn ball! It's actually a diamond thorn ball! This is going to be a bit difficult!"
"Tell me quickly, how difficult is it? I have heard that the diamond thorn ball will attack any moving object from the time it is half-grown, especially humans. The diamond thorn ball seems to have an inherent hostility. As long as humans pass within a hundred meters of it, they will be attacked fiercely. I heard that their thorns are extremely poisonous and sharp, and can even penetrate magic weapons and spiritual treasures! I seem to have heard that a nine-star master was besieged by more than a dozen eighth-grade diamond thorns and died miserably in the end! When his body was found, the whole person was red and swollen, and his body was covered with dense diamond thorns. The flesh was already cooked..."
"That's too horrible, isn't it? The Alliance wants these talented students to challenge the Diamond Ball and bring back a live one. Isn't that sending these young people to their deaths?"
"How is that possible! There must be an expert guarding nearby who will definitely not let them get into any danger. But then again, it's really difficult, and who knows, someone might get hurt!"
……
"This league is really creative. They actually came up with such an unusual competition topic!" Listening to the conversations of the audience outside the venue, Wang Chong in the VIP seat whispered to Yuan Wuhen beside him. Hu Yan also nodded in approval. Since the start of the competition, his eyes have been focused on the every move of his beloved student Yun Bai on the big screen. Although he knew that Yun Bai was gifted, he couldn't help but sweat for her when he heard the topic of King Kong Thorn Ball.
"Oh? Because they have attack power and are also highly poisonous? But our Xiao Bai... should be fine, right?" Yuan Wuhen was full of doubts. He was hoping that Yun Bai would defeat Jiao Yang and save some face for himself!
"Haha, the attack power and hostility towards humans are only a small part of the reasons. The biggest difficulty is that it is almost impossible to take these things away from their birthplace alive!" Hu Yan continued.
"If that's the case, why do we have to come up with such a question?" Yuan Wuhen was puzzled.
“Almost impossible doesn’t mean impossible. There is still a small hope of bringing it back successfully, otherwise the diamond thorn balls wouldn’t be distributed all over the world.” Wang Chong explained with a smile. Seeing that his old friend was still looking at him in confusion, he continued, “If you can tame it and make it follow you willingly, that’ll be enough.”
"Tamed!? Isn't that thing known as the stubborn donkey in the spiritual plant world? Even you can hardly tame it, let alone those little kids!" Le Jun couldn't help but interrupt when he heard the conversation between the others. Then he immediately attracted Yuan Wuhen's retort:
"Why are you butting in, you old fool? Just because your kids can't do it doesn't mean our kids can't do it! Just wait and see, I'll show you the true strength of our students!"
"Tsk! You just keep talking tough! Be careful or your whole army might be wiped out in the end!" Le Jun retorted.
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Wang Chong and Hu Yan quickly shifted the topic to the big screen and asked them to continue paying attention to the game.
At this time, Yun Bai and 12 other people have entered the Fiery Desert and have been teleported to different areas. Each person has a map in his hand, and they need to find and successfully bring back a living diamond thorn ball according to the instructions on the map within one day.
Yun Bai already knew the habits and characteristics of the diamond thorn ball. She knew that this guy had a very violent temper. As long as you get close, the opponent will attack without hesitation. If you are stung by it and don't use healing medicine and antidote in time, the result will definitely be painful and miserable. But if the opponent can't beat you, they will often die of anger on the spot, leaving only a pool of red liquid and a smell of rotten eggs, which will disgust you even after death.
Before they develop intelligence, the actions of the Diamond Balls are all instinctive, somewhat similar to the defense mechanism brought by their genes; once they develop intelligence, they will have various personalities, but no matter what their specific personalities are, they definitely have one thing in common, that is, they are stubborn, hard, and hate humans.
According to the data, this hatred stems from their inheritance from generation to generation, and even those with plant-related magical powers cannot be treated preferentially - in short, even if Yun Bai is a person with magical powers who can make flowers bloom whenever he sees them, he will probably be defeated in front of the Vajra Thorn Ball this time.
"No matter what, I still have to try. It would be even better if I could bring back one. I've never seen one before. I've walked all over Wushaoling, but I haven't found even one. It would be fun to bring one back and keep it... But it might be dangerous, so I have to be extra careful!" Yun Bai thought carefully as she walked. Thinking this way, she walked more carefully. To outsiders, she looked like a thief scouting around. Her sneaky look was a little funny. Even Hu Yan and Yuan Wuhen couldn't help but smile helplessly, thinking that this kid was good in every way except that she was too timid...
At the same time, in a luxurious private room, Mu Yun was standing in front of several elders of the family. His father Mu Guanming and grandfather Mu Qianqiu were present. At this time, they also adjusted the display screen to the stadium where Yun Bai was, and used another screen to track and play the entire picture of Yun Bai. Mu Guanming glanced at the sneaky and timid little girl in the picture, and said with a slightly helpless tone: "Yun'er, is this the girl you like? Your father sent someone to check her information. Her life experience is innocent. When she was a child, she met a mysterious master as a teacher. She is very talented and is a rare supernatural person. But..." Mu Guanming wanted to say, but this girl is still a little bit worse than his son. After all, except for her good talent, the other side has nothing outstanding. But he didn't say it after all, because for so many years, his baby son has never been interested in any girl, and there was even a time when they thought that the child didn't like girls! When Mu Guanming said this, he turned his gaze to his father in the main seat, hoping to get the old man's support. However, Mu Qianqiu was obviously more open-minded. He did not respond to his son's words, but looked at Mu Yun and asked in a brisk tone:
"Yun'er, this girl must be very good, right?"
Hearing his grandfather's question, Mu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and replied: "Yes, Grandpa, she is the best girl my grandson has ever seen. I work so hard just to be worthy of her!" Then, he looked at his father and answered his previous question: "Father, Yun Bai is the only person my son has decided to spend his life with." His voice was very soft, but very firm. After he finished speaking, he looked at the elders in the private room and told them with his eyes that he was serious.
"Hahaha! Our Yun'er finally got it! Very good! Ah Ming, don't worry too much about being well-matched. With our family background, if we still want to rely on other people's power to become stronger, it would be too shameful! I think this girl is very good! Yun'er has always had good taste, and the person he likes must be right! By the way, don't forget that my big brother Wang Chong once praised Yun Bai!" Seeing this scene, Mu Qianqiu acted very open-minded. Although his tone was flat, he also revealed a strong self-confidence.
"Yes, father! Since you said so, I will obey you. Everything is up to Yun'er..." Mu Guanming bowed to his old father, and then looked at his son. However, although he said so, he still didn't agree with it in his heart. At least he thought his son was exaggerating. His son was a rare talent, so why did he seem to be marrying up to that girl?
After that, the room fell silent. Most of the elders of the Mu family had the same idea as Mu Guanming, so they paid more attention to Yun Bai's every move, intending to see with their own eyes what the strengths of this "top genius" mentioned by Mu Yun were!
