Rand slid his mind across the Light Board, frowning at the two teaching assistants beside him.

"Yes, Master Rand. We've all checked, the signals are normal. Although their positions are scattered, they are all working hard to complete the survival exam. Besides the candidates who were injured and withdrew from the assessment previously, we haven't received any distress signals."

One of the teaching assistants affirmed.

"I understand."

Land still looked at the map of examinee distribution, but he still felt uneasy.

If ripples are here, they would find that the rescue information about discovering an injured person issued by Xiong Jian was completely unreceived by this academy.

At this time, Xiao Liu was also telling Ripple about this.

"Ripple, the star network here is being interfered with. The signal transmission speed has slowed down, giving the other party an opportunity and time to replace messages."

"Can you find the source"

"I can't do that for now, I'm just judging based on the signals I've captured. To find out the specifics, I need to access the star network here."

Xiao Liu really couldn't intrude into the Xingwang of the assessment star out of thin air. He only made his judgment based on the abnormal signals from the assessment star.

"Don't worry, your time to shine will come when we get to that mission base."

Ripples soothed.

>

"No problem, you'll see what I'm capable of then."

Little Six is ready to flex his muscles and show off his skills.

After parting ways with Xiongjian and the others, the three of them continued their journey toward their destination. This time, however, they were more cautious than before. They communicated through star beasts most of the time and accelerated their pace.

The fourth day also passed peacefully. In the evening, everyone found a place to rest, but no one was in the mood to sleep. After simply filling their stomachs, they either sat there staring into space or communicating with their Star Beasts.

Three Beastmen gathered together to discuss for a while, and then came looking for Ripple.

"Captain, have we heard from Big Bear yet"

"There isn't one for now, but don't worry, they are safe at least. If there is any danger, Dodo will be the first to rescue them."

The ripples will still be there, Doudou is at least a fifth-order alien plant after all. She's capable of getting herself and the others out when facing an opponent.

Since the current situation is unclear, I think it's unnecessary for us to stick rigidly to the assessment regulations. The equipment in the spatial node can be taken out and used.

The eldest of the Beastmen triplets, Pao Shi, spoke.

"You are right, we can take it out and use it. No matter what happens, we have to make sure our own safety first, so that we can find a way to save others."

Ripples was not being sentimental and accepted Leopard Stone's proposal well.

Xinghe then slapped his own forehead, saying regretfully:

"We never thought we'd become so stubborn, fortunately Bao Shige reminded us."

"There's no need to blame yourself. We've always been in an environment of evaluation, so subconsciously we tend to deal with unexpected situations according to the evaluation standards."

Then Leopard Stone waved his hand dismissively and continued:

"I still held onto the last sliver of hope that if we used the equipment inside the spatial node and were deemed eliminated, someone would come and remove us."

If we could get back to the academy, at least we could tell the examiners what happened here. If they ignored us, then that would also confirm Ripple's judgement from another angle.

"Okay, so now we're going to boldly hypothesize and then carefully verify, giving ourselves and the academy an answer. I believe your families would be proud of you."

Ripples immediately praised.

Although these people appear to be around her age, unfortunately, they can't keep up with her wealth of experience and exposure to so many different facets of life. Therefore, these people are like young pups in front of her. When it comes to giving them affirmation, one must certainly not be stingy. This is beneficial for mobilizing their emotions because, after all, this is the first time they've encountered such a situation.

After hearing the conversation between the two, everyone started rummaging through their space button's equipment, hoping to arm themselves to the teeth.

At this moment, Lian Ri's eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment, she raised her head and said:

"There's some bad news. Xiong Jian, Xi Shan, and Sui Yu have been taken into custody. Thankfully, they are not in any immediate danger. Duo Duo and Sui Yu's Star Beasts have gone into hiding for the time being and are trying to find out where the three of them are being held and what is happening inside."

Dodo is my contract monster, I can sense her general direction. Everyone, get a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we will slowly move in the direction they are.

On the road, we received messages from Duo Duo while devising a rescue plan. We had three days left; the exam would end in three days, and the academy would definitely come to collect all the candidates. That's when they would surely discover the problem.

"I'm just worried that by then, they will definitely be taken away beforehand, whether as hostages or bargaining chips, or even brainwashed into being loyal to the other side. It will be too late."

Waves always make the worst assumptions.

Everyone agreed this time, knowing a tough battle was ahead. They all started pulling out their space-time gear and sharing it, really arming themselves to the teeth.

Ripple received a set of battle armor from Xinghe for free. Although it wasn't as good as the one Xinghe wore, it was much stronger than Ripple's own. Ripple happily accepted it, thinking she would find an opportunity to return the favor later.

On the fifth day of the assessment, everyone woke up early and quickened their pace. Gan Yin then said:

"Our current direction is toward the location of the Anti-Alliance secret base marked on that incomplete map we had before."

"Did you say these people secretly took over this place"

The Milky Way turned its head and said.

It's very likely.

Kōki said.

"We'll keep going. When we get closer, I'll confirm with Dodo."

Even Ripples felt that the so-called secret base had been exploited by the enemy.

At present, in the secret base of the Rebel Alliance, Xiongjian, Xishan, and Suiyu are all enjoying single rooms. Everyone can see outside through the glass wall, but they cannot communicate with each other.

Although the three are now imprisoned, they have proven their suspicions. This is especially true for Xiong Jian and Sui Yu, who appear anxious but remain calm inside.

After all, DuoDuo left XiongJian's wrist after being brought here. SuiYu also gave her Star Beast WanBian an order to cooperate with DuoDuo to figure out the situation here, and then cooperate with LianYi and the others to rescue people.

Yes, because there were not only the three of them locked in here, but also a dozen or so other examinees. Although they might not all have names, they were all familiar with each other.

These people clearly look like they were captured while in a daze. They've gone deep into enemy territory, completely walked into a trap, and are now just hoping that DuoDuo can pull through, and SuiYu's star beast performs as expected.

On the other side, Rand ultimately decided to go and see the students' condition himself. According to the distribution chart's markings, he went to see the student closest to the three of them.

The first place student's position is fine, the person is fine, he's eating lunch at the top of a tree.difficult. The pirates also realized their limit and sent out double the number of pirates to attack. Although the mecha troops at the garrison held their last line of defense, the casualties were hig...
