The Bloodline System

Chapter 1226  The Precarious Situation 

Author's Note: Unedited Chapters

---------------------

The multiple arms that had extended grabbed hold of them and yanked them towards the mechanical beast.

Gustav resumed fleeing as this was the beast course of action. This beast wasn't the only one on their tail, other beasts had began chasing after them and these ones had flesh.

"If I'm gonna get disqualified here, i might as well make use of them," Yonda cursed as he tapped on his Iov bracelet.

A mechanical arm was about to grab Phinx when a massive green energy beam slammed into the mechanical beast, sending it flying across the air.

Bang!

"That's what you get for messing with me bastard!" Yonda yelled with a look of delight as he lowered his left hand.

The beasts in the vicinity were instantly alarmed by this action and turned to glare at him.

"Uh oh!" He turned around and began running.

Some of the beasts instantly gave chase while others still went after the rest of the participants in the vicinity. The mechanical beast jumped back to its feet after a few seconds with its entire body smoking.

"Grrruuhhh!" It growled, causing the entire vicinity to radiate loudly.

"That is going to attract more beasts... keep running," Gustav voiced to the participants around him as they stormed off into the unknown.

The participants who weren't able to escape the onslaught of the beasts, made use of the attacks available in their Iov bracelet. Blasts rang out all across the charred wasteland.

Unfortunately some participants didn't get to use their attacks before the beasts ambush laid waste to all of their life points.

Currently a couple of participants in the charred wasteland had gotten disqualified from the attacks. However, this wasn't the only location where such scenario was playing out.

Since only around three hours were left till the life points that were originally imbued in the Iov bracelet would be depleted, every single participant was currently on the move. After leaving the green zone, safety was no longer guaranteed for anyone.

At this same moment, participants in multiple locations were getting jumped by all sorts of beasts that were kept here. Handler one hadn't given them much information on the types of beasts they'd encounter here but he mentioned one in particular that they should be wary of.

He mentioned that should they come across this one, disqualification is certain. However, on the bright side, it only lurked around the red zones.

Gustav arrived under a canopy of rocks that were stuck in between the large walls of two mountains. The space underneath the rocks that had formed a sort of roofing was large enough to look like a passageway of sorts.

The mountains on both sides had such steep surfaces that would make climbing an hassle and would also slow him down since supernatural strength was currently restricted.

The best route forward was the path underneath the rocks that formed a roof inbetween the two steep mountains. The path was dark and even rougher but Gustav didn't see a better option.

It also seemed much better to move on a terrain that was well hidden than one in the open.

"How are we sure there are no beasts hiding in here?" Angy questioned with a slightly worried look as they began treading this path.

"If there are any, we'll feed E.E to them," Gustav voiced with an indifferent expression while stepping forward.

"Haha nice joke Gustav," E.E tried to keep his laughter down.

"I wasn't joking," Gustav said with a light chuckle while staring at E.E.

"Hehe... he... suddenly its not so funny anymore," E.E paused while displaying his set of white teeth with a grimacing expression.

"Lighten up, hihihi" Angy chuckled while tapping E.E as her face threatened to burst with laughter.

This wasn't the time to be making jokes since they just got out of a precarious situation but Gustav's short dialogue with E.E and the expression he displayed on his face after Gustav's statement was just so hilarious that Angy found it extremely difficult to hold back laughter.

"Yo why can't we just feed Angy to the beasts instead of me?" E.E complained while Angy kept laughing.

"Because she's my girlfriend,"

"Come on man... bros before..."

"Don't you dare finish that sentence,"

The initially gloomy air and dreadful aura around had dissipated at this point due to Gustav and E.E's presence.

Gustav, Angy and E.E had ran off in the same direction during the scuffle with the beasts so they just kept moving together at this point. It was unknown if the whole group, minus the ones who were already disqualified. would reunite.

However, the green zone they were supposed to head to together was where this trio were currently headed.

----

< The traingular waterfalls >

"That was close," Teemee sat in a body of water while breathing heavily as the noise of water falling from the air reverberated across the vicinity.

"If we had been any slower, we would have gotten disqualified by now," Endric who seemed to be in a much calmer state said with a look of relief.

Just like how Gustav, Angy and E.E had moved in the same direction, so did he and Teemee. Both of them were initially being chased by a beast who had specifically chosen to follow only them out of the many others.

Teemee had cursed their luck repeatefly as they nearly lost all of outwit the beast for long enough, till they arrived in a green zone.

The direction they stormed off in happened to be very close to a their life points due to this beast. Fortunately, they were able to outwit the beast for long enough, till they arrived in a green zone.

The direction they stormed off in happened to be very close to a green zone so they were the first amongst the group to arrive in a green zone.

This was the same green zone Gustav had picked that they would head to after stacking up enough life points in the yellow zone. The Traingular Waterfalls.

This location happened to have a small circular breach in space a couple thousand feet above. The breach happened to be the source of the waterfall which descended upon the place in the form of a triangle.

If one were to look at this location from afar, the traingular descent of the water fall seemed quite spectacular. Its tip pierced the skies while it lower parts spread like the tail of the peacock, cascading down with intensity that defied the laws of physics.

This of course had formed a body of water which currently emitted a green glow, depicting that this was a green zone. There was no danger staying in the water body since it was quite shallow.

Even while sitting in it, the surface of the water body only reached Teemee's belly area.

"Will the others be fine...? I'm a little worried," Teemee voiced as he sat upright.

"That isn't what we should be worrying about right now," Endric replied while looking around.

Teemee too had noticed it at this point and squinted his eyes in suspicion. Surroinding the body of water were a couple of beasts who stayed put.

They had kept some distance between themselves and the entry point of the green zone but they remained in place like guards. It almost felt like they knew exactly what was going on.

"If these beasts stay here, we won't be able to leave the green zone," Teemee voiced out.

"And we only have enough life points to last us for another one day," Endric stated.

They would get disqualified if the beasts stayed here for longer than their life points could sustain them.

"They definitely can't stay here for an entire day, right?" Teemee said with a look of hope.

"I don't know about that... they seem intelligent," Endric responded while pointing in a direction.

Right before their very eyes a beast smiled at them while shooting them a condescending gaze.

Teemee gulped down saliva, "We might be screwed,"

It looked like the creatures were going to stick around knowing that staying in the green zone would cause them to run out of life points and coming out would mean facing an onslaught from them.

It was a lose-lose situation. To make matters worse, more beasts kept arriving as time passed.

"What do we do?" Teemee asked.

"For now... we wait," Endric voiced in response.

"It's going to take us another three hours of non stop moving to get there," E.E voiced with a slightly disturbed look as he stared at the map.

They were currently transversing across a an area with uncountable number of mammoth pot sized holes on the ground. They of course avoiding falling into the holes as they walked in their midst.

"I know, but right now we're in danger until we get to a green zone. If the others are there, we could all move together in large numbers," Gustav still felt that moving in large numbers would make it easier to have fodder in precarious situations.

The large numbers quite literally saved them in the charred wasteland since things would be way worse if earth participants had gone alone. They might have gotten wiped out there.
