Meng Huai stopped moving and lowered her right hand. The compass in her left hand spun wildly, and the camera focused entirely on the compass.
The director's room had no choice, who could blame them for the trouble this girl caused? With the focus on this darn thing, they certainly had to give it camera time.
After spinning for a few rounds, the compass needle stopped.
The direction of the needle pointed out, and Meng Huai followed the direction indicated by the needle, pointing her finger.
"It's over there."
【Director's room? What's going on? Is the location correct?!】
【Yeah, can anyone tell me if this location is a guess, or is it really there!】
【My darn curiosity!】
The director's room saw the viewers' shouts and thoughtfully pointed out the direction of the finish line flag.
Only then did three arrows appear on the screen, overlapping each other.
The arrows were distinguished by different colors, and the direction of the needle, Meng Huai's direction, and the direction of the finish line given by the program team all overlapped.
At this point, only a few minutes had passed, and viewers were still entering the live broadcast, not understanding the situation.
【Ahhhhhhhh!】
【What's happening in this world? I'm actually suspecting foul play in the military school league, I must be abnormal!】
【This is too mystical!】
【What is this? The shop owner hasn't even used a tenth of her strength yet! She just used such a small prop, if the shop owner wants to divine anything, she's omniscient!】
【I don't understand, and I don't understand the barrage!】
【No, I just came in, why don't I understand, what are you all excited about!】
Meng Huai and the others were unaware of the audience's reaction. Zheng Yiran, based on the direction Meng Huai gave, decided how to proceed and led the team away.
Half an hour later, the twelfth military school appeared on the competition grounds, looking at the arena with no idea where to start.
At this moment, the broadcast voice also sounded within the arena: "Congratulations to the Imperial Military School for killing one 3s star beast and six double s star beasts."
The people from the twelfth military school in the arena were all surprised and amazed upon hearing this broadcast.
"How so fast!"
"Where should the commander lead us?"
However, the military school students outside the arena could also hear the broadcast. But to prevent them from understanding the situation inside the arena in advance, they could not see the videos from inside.
The military school students outside heard this broadcast and became even more anxious.
Especially the teams ranked further back, it would take several more hours for them to enter the arena, and these people had already killed a 3s star beast!
Some impatient people wandered back and forth outside the arena, their anxiety spreading to those around them.
When they finally entered the arena, they were also urging their commanders to ask for directions.
Time went back to when Meng Huai and the others had just set off, walking in the sandstorm according to the location pointed out by Zheng Yiran.
However, after walking for not long, some raised mounds of earth appeared on the ground. Moreover, it looked like something was crawling inside the mounds, and a long strip was formed along the path of its movement.
In a short while, dense mounds of earth appeared. Among them was the thickest one, with countless thin and small ones.
"Prepare for battle!"
Seeing this, Zheng Yiran knew that star beasts had appeared. They had all read the competition data for Sand Dust Planet. They had also learned about the star beasts here, and they understood this situation.
"It's a sand scorpion."
Right after this reminder, the giant sand scorpion broke through the earth.
Its black body, its massive size, was equivalent to two mechs. The scorpion's front limbs had mutated into pincers, and the raised pincers directly attacked them.
As soon as Zheng Yiran said "prepare for battle," the group quickly got into their mechs to prepare for combat.
At this moment, the audience was intently watching the screen, holding their breath. This 3s level scorpion was definitely not as easy to deal with as ordinary sand scorpions, and its appearance looked very formidable.
Meng Huai rushed to the front, while Hui Xingxiu dealt with the smaller sand scorpions around them.
These sand scorpions could be roughly classified by their size. The giant black sand scorpion fighting Meng Huai at this moment was a 3s star beast.
The other smaller ones were not much to worry about, with many of A and B class, but there were also quite a few double s class.
So, although it was not as easy as fighting a 3s star beast, with the harassment of these dense low-level sand scorpions and fighting these five or six double s sand scorpions, it was still not easy.
The audience's attention was drawn to Meng Huai attacking the giant sand scorpion, as Meng Huai's movements were fast and steady, and the sand scorpion's movements were fierce.
Such a battle was captivating and possessed a unique aesthetic. However, it also made people anxious, as if the scorpion's pincers would be aimed at their necks the next second.
Moreover, the audience also saw Meng Huai's mech and noticed something different.
【Did she change weapons?】
【It seems like she still had the same saber from before, but during the fight, it suddenly turned into the long spear she's holding now.】
【How could a saber turn into a long spear? Melted down and remade?】
While the audience was guessing how the weapon changed, it was actually because Rong Feichen saw Meng Huai using Li Wei's mech in the freshman test. Seeing Meng Huai's proficiency with the long spear, he also made a long spear weapon.
Of course, it wasn't that the previous great saber was remelted and remade, but rather that a weapon library was created. The saber was simply returned to the weapon library, and the long spear began to operate.
As for other weapons, as long as Meng Huai could use them, he intended to continue expanding this weapon library. However, this would take time, and this competition only had these two cold weapons.
Meng Huai and the others were dealing with the sand scorpions, and Zheng Yiran's voice entered their minds through his senses.
"Be careful of the sand scorpion's tail, the poison sacs and stingers at the tip can erode the mech's outer shell."
Zheng Yiran's words reminded the three of them, and they became even more cautious during the fight. Meng Huai's situation was even more so, as higher-level sand scorpions had stronger poison and corrosive properties.
She didn't want her mech to be destroyed by these venomous creatures.
She threw her long spear, directly at the scorpion's body. However, the scorpion's exoskeleton was extremely rigid, and a normal strike did not harm it at all. Instead, it provoked the scorpion's rage, and it attacked Meng Huai with even greater speed.
Seeing this, Meng Huai was not angered and continued her offensive, engaging it.
The sand scorpion continuously attacked with its front pincers and tail. Facing these attacks, Meng Huai dodged with agile movements.
At the same time, her hands did not stop. The long spear in her hand spun and moved towards the scorpion's abdomen. This time, she added more force and infused spiritual energy into the tip of the spear.
This strike directly pinned the giant sand scorpion to the ground. The sand scorpion struggled constantly. Although this sandy terrain should have been its home ground, it could not break free from the person's weapon.
Clearly, the sand should not have held the spearhead so firmly to the ground, but with the reinforcement of spiritual power, it was not so easy to break free.
