Chapter 95: The Bewildering Pill

Naturally, the other side noticed Li Ying's actions, and coincidentally, they also had a flying-type superhuman in their team who hurriedly chased after Li Ying.

Li Ying carried Xiao Qingyang on his back. However, because the animal forms of the superhumans were all quite large, as long as Xiao Qingyang didn't actively reveal himself, he could completely hide among the opponent's feathers.

Li Ying flew around with Xiao Qingyang on his back, but the enemies continued to pursue them, unable to shake them off no matter what they did.

"Li Ying, get close to a dense tree and pretend to land on it. I will take the opportunity to disembark," Xiao Qingyang said to Li Ying.

Li Ying flew in the direction of where the enemy's logistics personnel were hiding, so the enemy only thought that he wanted to eliminate their logistics personnel first and didn't consider any other possibilities.

"The bird up ahead, why stop and stare at the non-combatant logistics personnel? What kind of superhuman are you?" The flying-type superhuman chasing from behind mocked Li Ying while pursuing.

Then, Li Ying took the opportunity to land on a dense, large tree in front of him. His eagle eyes stared directly at the superhuman chasing after him. Xiao Qingyang took the chance to slide down from Li Ying's back and hid behind the branches, ensuring that the superhuman couldn't see him.

"Heh, you call yourselves superhumans, yet you still surround our logistics personnel. If you're capable, let me send them to a safe place first, then we can fight," Li Ying retorted, leaving the pursuing superhuman speechless.

The superhuman looked at Li Ying with an arrogant expression, frustrated and seething, and replied through gritted teeth, "Fine, if you can send them out, I can't guarantee their safety when the time comes."

"Heh, you forbid me from attacking your logistics personnel, but you're secretly eyeing ours. You truly are an outstanding superhuman," Li Ying couldn't help but mock again.

Noticing that Xiao Qingyang had already disembarked from his back and found a place to hide, Li Ying couldn't be bothered to argue with the superhuman any longer. He planned to fly back and secretly escort the logistics personnel away as planned, while also luring away this idiotic superhuman, preventing him from discovering Xiao Qingyang.

Sure enough, when the superhuman on the other side saw Li Ying flying away, he thought Li Ying was trying to escape and hurriedly pursued. Xiao Qingyang hid behind the tree branches, watching as the two flying-type superhumans flew far away and failed to notice his presence. He then slid down the trunk.

The logistics personnel who were being surrounded were hiding not far away. After Xiao Qingyang slid down from the tree trunk, he faintly heard the conversation among those people.

"Guys, how many points do you think we'll earn this time?" one of the boys asked excitedly.

"It shouldn't be few, considering it's almost over. The teams that are still participating at this stage definitely won't have only a few points," another person replied.

At that moment, a chilly voice sounded, "Even if it's not few, our Team Three will end up with hardly any."

"Qi Lei, what do you mean by that? Don't forget, without the support of our two teams, do you think your team alone can defeat the combined forces of the other two teams? By then, you might not even get one-third of the points, and your own points might be snatched away by others," the male voice who spoke earlier sarcastically remarked.

The biggest advantage of team alliances was the overall increase in strength, but the biggest drawback lay in the distribution of points.

Originally, a team would have accumulated a substantial number of points, but after sharing with other teams, what remained was not much. At this point, anyone would hope to individually obtain those points.

Perhaps this was one of the flaws of human nature, always desiring to gain while ignoring the efforts of others.

"I didn't say anything else, did I? I just said that there won't be much left after the points are distributed. Isn't that a fact?" Qi Lei retorted, dissatisfied.

Just as the two were about to continue arguing, they were pulled back by their respective teammates.

"Don't be angry, we are allies now. We're like grasshoppers tied to the same string. If one flourishes, we all flourish; if one suffers, we all suffer. Internal conflict is not allowed, or else others will take advantage of it," a mediator stepped in to reconcile.

Xiao Qingyang listened for a while and roughly understood the situation.

In fact, with his strength alone, he could easily defeat these seven individuals.

However, Xiao Qingyang didn't act rashly.

Although this place was a distance away from the battlefield, it wasn't considered far. If he couldn't eliminate all seven of them in one go, they would call for reinforcements, and he would be the one in trouble.

How could he capture all seven of them in one fell swoop? Xiao Qingyang pondered silently.

As he contemplated, he used his spiritual awareness to observe the situation of the seven individuals, preventing any unexpected actions from them.

His magical and spiritual power had not fully recovered, and he had limited resources to utilize. Moreover, in this world, he couldn't easily use magic or spiritual power. If he were discovered, the consequences would be more severe than being eliminated.

Therefore, Xiao Qingyang discarded the idea of relying on magic or spiritual power to secure victory.

Originally, Xiao Qingyang could have used the simplest and most direct method: relying on his powerful physique to overpower his opponents. However, his physical condition had not fully recovered yet, so he passed on that approach as well.

With magic and spiritual power out of the picture, and brute force not an option, it seemed that Xiao Qingyang had to resort to some auxiliary means. He began searching through his Qiankun bag, hoping to find something useful.

In his search, he actually found something good.

Xiao Qingyang smirked as he looked at the item in his hand. Though it was a bit unscrupulous, who could blame him when the opposing group had so many people and were targeting him for a group attack?

This item was just perfect for them.

Xiao Qingyang accurately tossed the item to the location where the seven individuals were. The conversations that were once audible gradually diminished and eventually disappeared, leaving behind a quiet atmosphere.

Using his spiritual awareness, Xiao Qingyang probed the area and discovered that all seven of them had indeed fallen unconscious without any defenses.

Quietly emerging from his hiding place, Xiao Qingyang walked up to the seven individuals and probed once again. They were completely unconscious, and even if he made a loud noise now, it was unlikely that they would wake up.

This was the first time he had resorted to such a "despicable" method.

But during extraordinary times, one had to take extraordinary measures. The school didn't have any regulations prohibiting the use of bewildering pills during training, did it?

These bewildering pills were refined by his father and given to him. They could instantly knock out cultivators at the Yuan Infant stage and below, serving as a means of escape when encountering dangers he couldn't handle.

However, Xiao Qingyang hadn't expected that he would use the bewildering pills for the first time in this situation.

Nevertheless, he didn't have much time to dwell on it. Xiao Qingyang collected all the scorecards from the individuals and pressed the distress button on their devices. Soon, teachers would come to escort them out.

After completing these tasks, Xiao Qingyang quietly returned to the battlefield where the superhumans and mecha warriors were fighting, without anyone noticing.

Since his bewildering pills were capable of incapacitating even the powerful Yuan Infant stage cultivators, they should pose no significant problem against these superhumans, right?

However, without conducting any experimental tests, Xiao Qingyang couldn't be certain of their effectiveness.

The opposing side was a union of three teams, one more than their own, and their combat strength was one and a half times greater. Even in one-on-one battles, the opponents still had several extra superhumans and mecha warriors.

The bewildering pills needed the target to be exposed to the air and inhale them to take effect. They wouldn't work on someone sitting inside a mecha cockpit. So Xiao Qingyang's primary targets were the superhumans.

Coincidentally, a notable enemy superhuman was not far from Xiao Qingyang. It seemed like he had discovered something and was sniffing the air vigorously, as if trying to locate the source of a strange smell.

Xiao Qingyang suspected that the superhuman might have detected his presence, but couldn't pinpoint his exact location. However, this was an excellent opportunity.

Thus, Xiao Qingyang threw the bewildering pill in his hand towards the superhuman, and it landed at his feet.

The bewildering pill was colorless and odorless, with no signs of its presence. Once inhaled, it would cause the person to fall into a deep sleep, just like...

With a loud thud, the superhuman, who had been standing on all fours, collapsed to the ground, creating a resounding noise. However, the others engrossed in the battle didn't notice.

Witnessing this, Xiao Qingyang knew that the bewildering pills were effective against these superhumans as well. He breathed a sigh of relief and knew that all he had to do now was deliver the bewildering pills to the frontline battlefield.

However, the biggest problem now was that the frontline battlefield was chaotic, with both enemies and allies. If he directly threw the bewildering pills over, there was a risk of causing friendly fire.

He needed to inform the allied superhumans to retreat first before proceeding with the next action.

There wasn't a better method of communication available at the moment, so Xiao Qingyang decided to enter the battlefield directly, using the most straightforward approach.

Fortunately, he was no longer the pitiful little guy who first arrived in this world. He now had the ability to protect himself, even though he couldn't fight against the superhumans here. However, he could still avoid getting injured by them.

Moreover, Xiao Qingyang's human form was much smaller than the transformed superhumans and mecha warriors, making him agile as he maneuvered through the battlefield. Even if enemies spotted him and tried to attack, they might lose sight of him in the next second.

Xiao Qingyang used the power of the earth as a protective shield, shuttling back and forth on the battlefield. Whenever he spotted allied superhumans, he immediately informed them to retreat from the battle.

Though the teammates weren't sure what was happening exactly, they trusted each other. Xu Kaiyang and the others immediately distanced themselves from the battlefield, pulling Chen Yihan and the rest along.

The enemy personnel pursued them relentlessly.

Sitting on Xu Kaiyang's back, Xiao Qingyang watched the superhumans chasing after them. He threw the bewildering pills in his hand towards them.

He still had plenty of bewildering pills, enough to handle these superhumans.
