In that instant…

The Gargoyle's gaze turned sharp.

It didn't dodge, and even if it did, it wasn't in time.

Because it would lose the final attack time.

However…

It adjusted its position slightly and moved away from the weak spot on its left wing. Its sharp claws glowed with cold light.l

Even "Sprite Commandeering: Protection" would be torn apart by it in an instant.

At this moment…

The few Energy Balls that flew over with a whoosh suddenly spun, changing from a straight line to an arc. The Gargoyle, which had just shifted its body, had its left wing hit by the Energy Balls flying past just as it raised its claws.

Bang!!!

The eruption of energy raised waves of dust. Little Fire Crow spread its black wings and covered Su Hao's body, blocking the incoming shock waves.

Silkworm Baby stood firmly in front, its big eyes staring unblinkingly.

Amidst the dust and smoke…

A gray figure flew out from not far away from Su Hao, brushing against the ground. It made a crack on the road.

It was the Gargoyle. A part of its left wing had been broken so it lost its balance and fell from the sky. However, it still got up fiercely and made a move to pounce.

At this moment…

The Mountain Moving Ape finally arrived.

With a heart full of anger, he leaped forward and rode on the Gargoyle.

One punch, two punches… The punches came crashing down.

Countless cracks appeared on the ground of the highway. The Gargoyle was smashed into bits and pieces, completely losing all signs of life.

It died.

The other sprites that attacked them.

The Flaming Bat was soon pushed onto the ground. The Golden Roaring Lion was long dead, and the other sprites were also on their last breaths, or were simply dealt with a last hit.

Only a few attackers were left but they were all surrounded by sprites.

"Are you alright?" Old Chen walked over and asked.

Su Hao shook his head and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Only a few students suffered minor injuries, but a few sprites were affected. Their injuries are very serious, but they can still be saved."

"Teacher, who exactly are those attackers?"

Old Chen hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "I'm not very sure about the details, but you can understand it as spies, traitors, death warriors, and so on."

At this moment, Coach Xiong walked over and patted his shoulder.

"Well done. I heard that you intercepted the Energy Ball at the right time. Otherwise, I'm afraid many people would have lost their lives."

"Even I got a fright when I dealt with the Gargoyle at the end."

He also had lingering fears.

"It's only right," said Su Hao.

"Gurgle ~!" Silkworm Baby also made a noise at the side.

Coach Xiong looked at it and laughed. "You've done a great service, of course. The guild will reward you when you go back."

"Gurgle? Gurgle, gurgle!" Silkworm Baby became (◕ᴗ◕✿) at once.

After Su Hao left, Coach Xiong's face darkened again when he saw the mess all over the ground.

He looked at Luo Jingtian and asked, "Did you find that team leader?"

Vice President Luo shook his head.

The captured attackers' sprites were only entry-level, mid-level, and high-level, not contractors of stone giants and stone gargoyles.

That contractor was very likely the team leader that the attackers spoke of!

But he never showed up.

It was very likely that the other party was a long-distance commander!

In fact, after the Gargoyle died, it directly used a summoning method to bring the stone giant away.

"The stone giant is huge and wants to ambush here. That team leader must have appeared nearby before. I'll inform the relevant departments and let him check the surveillance cameras in the vicinity," Coach Xiong said.

Vice President Luo nodded. "I'll get an illusionist master, hopefully we can pry valuable clues out of these people."

But he didn't have high hopes.

That team leader might know something, but these attackers… From the look in their eyes, Luo Jinghong knew that they were just brainwashed minions.

But he still had to ask.

Before long…

The nearby Association of Sprite Trainers sent a team over.

Together with the local police department, they dealt with this major attack.

And escorted the students all the way back to An City.

...

An City.

When they got back, it was already four in the afternoon.

As they were the parties involved, they still needed to go to the Association of Sprite Trainers to record their statements.

Because of this incident, the group of students didn't have the mood to chat anymore. After leaving the guild, they all headed back home.

Su Hao was left behind.

He received a certificate of "bravery" and 200,000 yuan reward.

According to Coach Xiong, the reward amount was already the highest in the stipulated range.

But apart from the monetary reward, there was also a high-end and delicious jade powder specially rewarded for Silkworm Baby for its meritorious service.

(Silkworm Baby:???)

"Instructor, about this…" After receiving the reward, Su Hao asked.

Coach Xiong said, "This matter is categorized as a terrorist attack by sprites."

"The cars from the other schools were also attacked, but we were the unlucky ones, and were the ones who were given special attention."

Su Hao thought about it and asked, "Are there a lot of such attacks?"

Coach Xiong deliberated for a moment before saying, "In the past, there weren't many, but these types of terrorist attacks have become slightly more frequent in recent years. Of course, that's referring to the entire world. This time, it's mainly because all the newbie Sprite Trainers in An City have gathered together. This made them feel that this could be an opportunity."

"Do you want to ask why? I can only say that our world isn't peaceful. There are terrorist organizations secretly stirring up trouble."

"Do you want to know? If you want to know, go to Sprite University. When you become an elite-level Sprite Trainer, you'll know what you need to know."

Su Hao went crazy.

It was very easy to get beaten up for saying half of what one wanted to say.

Unfortunately, he couldn't beat Coach Xiong either.

He could only nod gloomily.

"I heard that the leader of the attackers hasn't been caught yet. Sir, I won't be attacked again, right?"

Coach Xiong shook his head and assured him, "The possibility is minimal. Of course, try not to leave An City during this period of time, and don't go to remote places… If you're still worried, I can get the Clay Monster to follow you around temporarily."

The Clay Monster was the entry-level high-level sprite in Coach Xiong's hands.

"If possible, I hope my family can receive protection."

On the contrary, Su Hao wasn't too worried about himself.

He would immediately begin Silkworm Baby's evolution. After it evolved, the little rascal's abilities wouldn't be considered weak anymore.

But his parents were ordinary people. He had to speculate about those fanatical and terrifying attackers with the most evil thoughts.

"This is very simple," Coach Xiong said. "You've already won the joint examination champion. The An City authorities will probably reward you with a house. There are official Sprite Trainers protecting you 24 hours a day in the high-end Sprite Trainer neighborhood."

Upon hearing this, Su Hao felt a lot more relieved.

He thought about it again. What the f*ck, they were actually rewarding him with a house!

A house in the high-end residential area!

Although… An City wasn't a big city, a house was at most 2 million yuan and it was still far from matching up to the Heart of Attributes.

It still gave him a huge shock.

What would happen if he became the champion in the college entrance examination?

"It's just a house. An City even gave me a villa previously. You're a student with a bright future, you shouldn't care about such a small amount of money."

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

Although he seemed to be praised, why didn't he feel any joy at all?

"By the way, your Silkworm Baby has just broken through to entry-level. It hasn't registered its official Sprite Trainer identity yet, right?"

"You can register it in the guild now, so that you don't have to make another trip."

Coach Xiong said.

Su Hao's mood became better again.

Primary-level Sprite Trainers received a monthly allowance of 3,000 yuan.

A monthly allowance of 6,000 yuan for an intermediate-level Sprite Trainer.

It was already quite a lot.

It was even better than whoring.
