Salah coldly glanced at the silly yet amusing Mocca, then tossed him off and directly turned around, leaving without him.
"Hey!"
Mocca hadn't yet recovered from Salah's disdain for his IQ before Salah ignored him and left. The pitifully abandoned Mocca would have never thought that what he had just said would make people want to ridicule him.
However, how could the intention-filled Mocca let Salah go so easily? Without waiting for Salah to take a few steps, he dragged and pulled him back.
Salah lowered his head and looked at the hand that had grabbed onto his arm. If he hadn't regarded Mocca as his cousin, he definitely would have chopped off the offending hand!
The sentinels' five senses had been strengthened, so how could Mocca not sense the cold intent in Salah's gaze? He immediately pulled back the hand that had been pulling the other person along, embarrassed.
Truth be told, if it weren't for the sake of proper business, he also wouldn't be like this!
"Cough cough..."
"What is it."
Salah's tone became increasing cold, and Mocca didn't dare to speak more nonsense. He directly gave the other his reason for coming.
"Does your team have a way to monitor the spider Zergs over a long distance?"
With Mocca having stated it in such a blunt manner, Da Li's team up in the monitoring room in space all stared blankly. Lao Yu quickly opened up the large screen, and everyone stared at the two people projected on it.
The Salah that was on Planet XT781 wasn't aware that everyone on Da Li's team up in the monitoring room was paying attention to his answer. His eyebrows furrowed, and he didn't immediately answer.
"Hey Salah, I'm your cousin. Could it be that there can't be a sense of trust between cousins?"
What Mocca got in response was Salah's very frank and skeptical gaze.
"..."
Fuck! Salah you little brat, unexpectedly doubting me, your cousin! Careful, or else this cousin will explode for you to see!
"Pfft..." Mocca's expression really was too funny. Da Li and the others couldn't hold back their laughter.
"I had never noticed that this child could be so unexpectedly amusing." Xiao Ba pointed towards Mocca's wacky expression, and turned his head towards Da Li to say: "Boss, how about letting this youngster follow us when the time comes?"
Da Li, who had just been asked a question, calmly looked at the spirited Xiao Ba, and indifferently answered: "Wait until the assessment ends and they become one of the top three before asking this question again."
With such a response from his own family's boss, Xiao Bai pursed his lips, not opening his mouth again. Although Da Li had spoken like this, he had confidence in Mocca and the others.
Disregarding Xiao Ba, who had started to grin widely again, Da Li tilted his head and asked Lao Yu, who was next to him: "Lao Yu, do you think that what that youngster said was true?"
It wasn't just Mocca who had such doubts. In the monitoring room, Da Li's attentive team had been paying close attention to Wu Zimo and the others and already had their doubts early on. However, logic told them that such a thing was impossible.
Even the spider Zerg monitoring systems that the First Military Academy had needed were supplied by the Heaven's Wrath's Corps. In order to add more challenge, they only gave them a primary version with a range of only 20 kilometers.
Lao Yu had been waiting for Salah's response, and with his captain's words, he pondered before hesitating to shake his head.
But the next development amazed the people in the monitoring room, who hadn't believed that Wu Zimo and the others could have a stronger monitoring system.
"What are you guys talking about so mysteriously?"
The two were suddenly interrupted by an interjection from behind them. The owner of the voice was precisely the subject of their conversation, Wu Zimo.
It wasn't that Wu Zimo had gotten bored and came over to disturb the two people whispering, but it's that Mocca had suddenly grabbed Salah and ran, momentarily stunning Lyle. When Lyle returned to his senses, he was a little worried about Salah, so he ran to Wu Zimo to tell him about the situation.
Since it was his small companion that requested that he check out what happened between Mocca and Salah, Wu Zimo had no excuses. When he went over, he saw the two, but he particularly noticed Salah's incredibly solemn expression, piquing Wu Zimo's curiosity.
Seeing Wu Zimo run over, Salah, whose brow had been furrowed, relaxed a bit. As for Mocca, it was because he was familiar with Salah that he was the person that Mocca had sought out. When he saw Salah's attitude, like he hadn't wanted to tell him, Mocca became depressed. Also seeing Wu Zimo run over, he thought about it, then had no choice but to turn his head and seek advice from Wu Zimo.
After hearing Mocca's question, Wu Zimo blinked. He didn't try to cover it up, instead straightforwardly nodded, "Yes."
"..." Mocca didn't know why, but when he received a definite answer, he felt a sense of confusion.
Brother, do you know how important a system that can monitor Dimensional Zergs over long distances is?! You just simply, without any fanfare, directly nodded and said that you had one! There was no sense of anticipation at all, you know!
"Salah, what's up with him?" Wu Zimo didn't know how his response had driven Mocca mad, only thinking that it was strange that his straightforward answer had made him foolish.
"He's just twitching, don't pay him any attention."
"Oh."
Well then, it wasn't really odd for sentinels, that mythical, evolved species to like to convulse. Wu Zimo nodded in understanding, disregarding Mocca, who had been driven mad. He said to Salah: "Lyle is a bit worried about you. Since nothing happened, let's go back."
"Okay."
Being thorough ignored by two people, Mocca returned to his senses and saw that Salah and Wu Zimo were preparing to leave, immediately shouting: "Wait up!"
Truthfully, with Mocca's sudden shout, he not only scared Wu Zimo, even the people by the campfire stopped their conversation and looked over at them, baffled.
It was only those who were as familiar with Mocca as Salah who merely rolled their eyes and became more impatient.
"If you're going to go mad again, you can go a bit farther!"
"..." Being blocked off by Salah, Mocca, who had just finished shouting, knew that he was truly angry. He didn't dare to continue acting like an idiot. This time Mocca left Salah behind, he put on a flattering smile and moved closer to Wu Zimo.
"Wu Zimo, no matter how you say it, we're companions that had fought together, right?"
It wasn't known what kind of weird thing Mocca was trying to sell off, but Wu Zimo still nodded. Even though they had only worked together once, Wu Zimo was still able to see that the strength of Mocca's three combined teams were indeed very high. It was no wonder that they were able to continue holding onto the top three positions.
Speaking of this, Wu Zimo had no choice ridicule Mocca, this sentinel, for his potential as a two-faced fox.
Initially, Wu Zimo had believed that Mocca and the others were one team, but after speaking with them, he noticed that they were three teams that had combined, not one. As for why they decided to do it like this, it was completely because of Mocca, this shark, wanting to hoard all three of the top positions for himself.
When they started, Wu Zimo was aware. It was despicable because there were no set rules for the number of team members. It would be fine for one team to have twenty members, but the unscrupulous Mocca divided his team into three.
He very much followed his own path, tyrannically leaving others with nowhere to go.
However, only after listening to Li Pengpeng's explanation did Wu Zimo begrudgingly approve of Mocca's leadership.
From Li Pengpeng's perspective, it turns out that it wasn't guaranteed for every member of the top three teams in the assessment to get a chance to intern.
For example, when they were third years, there were only three seats for each of the three teams for the internship opportunity. Fortunately that year, Mocca had occupied the three seats. Since it was like that, they were able to send nine of their people to the Bia Corps.
"Then this year's assessment, is there a limit on the number of seats for the top three?" From Li Pengpeng's information, Wu Zimo's heart thumped.
If there was a limit on the number of people this year, there wouldn't be enough seats to divide among them, as it would have to be divided into nine people.
Li Pengpeng realized that Wu Zimo was worried, and gave him a reassuring smile. "There isn't a limit on the number of seats for this year's assessment, you just have to be in one of the top three positions. So, all of the team members can intern at Marshal Alman's Heaven's Wrath Corps."
Because there wasn't a limit on the number of people, the participating students were like they had been injected with chicken blood. To enter Marshal Alman's Heaven's Wrath Corps, they just had to be in their grade's top three teams. If they were lucky, they could see the Marshal with their own eyes!
With such an incentive, if they weren't filled with chicken blood, they would fail. However, there were a large number of teams that had just chicken blood but no brain that were eliminated on the first day.
Wu Zimo was unaware of how strong an incentive the quota for the top three positions was for the First Military Academy students that worshipped Marshal Alman. Even those who had seen Marshal Alman a good number of times, like Mocca, rolled up their sleeves to prepare to continue to dominate the top three positions.
So, it was obvious how important the modified spider Zerg monitoring system in Wu Zimo's hands was.
Wu Zimo didn't quite understand, but when he saw Mocca's suddenly reddened complexion, it was a mystery what he thought of, but his eyes began to redden. But Wu Zimo's eyebrows furrowed, keenly sensing that there was some kind of strange pheromones spreading in the air.
There was something odd about Mocca's situation.
Sure enough, just when Wu Zimo had been prepared to shout, Mocca's body suddenly released a strong sentinel's pheromone. Even his quantum beast bounced out, its eyes also as red.
"No!"
Wu Zimo still hadn't reacted, but Salah, a sentinel, finally understood what was up with Mocca. He grabbed Wu Zimo and pushed himself as quickly as he could, running over to Lyle and the others while shouting for Li Pengpeng.
"Peng-jie! Mocca's undergoing a spiritual storm!"
"What?!"
Salah's loud reminder actually wasn't needed. Li Pengpeng, who had achieved a 70% harmonization with Mocca, had already noticed it when his spiritual strength shifted. Her rabbit quantum beast quickly appeared and dashed off towards Mocca's silver wolf.
Li Pengpeng's target was Mocca, who was desperately trying to quell his spiritual storm. The energy that was very dangerous towards others, especially the ordinary humans, was very docile towards Li Pengpeng.
So, Li Pengpeng could very quickly approach Mocca and stood in front of him. She stood on her tiptoes and held his head in both of her hands, her forehead touching his, and closed her eyes.
For a guide to break open a sentinel's spiritual storm, they would need to advance through the sentinel's spiritual sea. So if there wasn't complete trust between the pair, then one couldn't enter the other's spiritual sea. No matter how strong and formidable a sentinel was, their spiritual sea was still fragile.
If the guide that was breaking open a path was disloyal, it was a very dangerous matter for the sentinel.
It would be very easy for a weaker guide to use more force than the sentinel had while they were breaking open a path and twist and break the other's in the spiritual sea.
The spiritual sea was only clear to the guide opening up the path and the sentinel themselves. However, outsiders would determine if they were safe or not given the pheromones that they release into the air.
The present sentinels and guides could sense that the originally violent pheromones calmed down, and they all simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief.
As for Wu Zimo, a person who had crossed over, his eyes were opened wide. He didn't want to miss the situation in front of him.
This was a scene of a guide bringing a sentinel back from a spiritual storm!
More Mocca and Li Pengpeng again (੭ु ‾᷄ᗣ‾᷅ )੭ु⁾⁾
