Chapter 238 Ace

It took less than half an hour for the air transport plane to reach the place where the iron-eating scarab had appeared before.

Then, everyone was lowered down one by one using a ladder.

The blue-haired boy was the first to climb up, but the last to go down. When he went down, his face was pale and his legs were shaking.

He looked at Malu and Pochi behind him and said with a sad face, "Captain, deputy captain, if I get into danger later, you won't sit idly by, right?"

"Of course." Malu said, "At least I will take your body back and take it back to the city for a proper burial."

"Ah?" The blue-haired boy's face turned even paler when he heard this, and he no longer had the heroic look he had when he was the first to board the plane.

Malu patted him on the shoulder, "Think about how to end it before you show off next time."

Seeing that he was so scared, Pochi provided a practical suggestion.

"If you are really scared, you can follow the transport plane back to the city. I will tell others that you are not used to flying and you feel dizzy."

"Thank you, Captain." The blue-haired boy said with a wry smile, "But now that we are here, I will not be willing to give up like this. I don't want to lose the most important thing for the hunter."

As he spoke, his eyes became firm.

But Malu said, "The most important thing for the hunter is his life."

"Ah?" The blue-haired boy was dumbfounded.

…………

After all the candidates landed, the people of the Shuangyanghua Hunting Group also came to the ground.

In addition to Malu, Pochi, Mai Mai, and Seta, there are more than 20 new members who have joined the hunting group.

Some of them were brought by Pochi to deal with the iron-eating scarab to protect the candidates, and the rest were just here to join in the fun.

In fact, almost all the hunters who were in the base or nearby came. After they heard that the mysterious deputy captain had returned, they all insisted on following him.

Pochi knew what they were up to, and she had someone buy a batch of fresh ingredients in the market in advance and send them to the guild's headquarters.

Before leaving, Malu had already opened a wave of blessing blind boxes, and with the bonuses brought by a series of strange items on his body, it was enough to deal with the iron-eating scarab.

But it was not yet time for him to appear.

Although the 42 candidates were nervous, they immediately took action after landing. They first collectively nominated a commander, and then began to look for the traces of the iron-eating scarab.

The most eye-catching among them was the blue-haired boy.

Malu had seen his results in the last exam and remembered that his name was Ace, a beast ability user.

His telekinetic ability seemed to be controlling jumping mice.

Jumping mice are 1-star ingredients. They are one of the lowest existences in the food chain in this desert. Their own combat power is very average, and it is estimated that they can only beat the young flame lizard.

However, the young flame lizard has a very low chance of evolving into a lava giant lizard, so the two are about the same.

But this does not mean that the blue-haired boy's telekinesis ability is useless. In fact, his ability is quite rare, and Mai Mai has circled it as a key observation object.

He just had two big drawbacks in physical fitness and combat skills. Fortunately, he made up for some of his hunting common sense later, and with the high score he got in the ability display, his score was pulled back to the middle position.

In short, he is a guy with a very serious bias in one subject.

But it is undeniable that his ability is indeed quite useful.

At this moment, Ace released all the fourteen jumping mice he brought with him. As soon as the jumping mice landed, they immediately scattered and quickly drilled under the sand, looking like they were finally free.

What is this, releasing them into the wild?

Just when other candidates thought that this kid was here to make fun of him, the jumping mice quickly drilled out from under the sand again.

Ace stretched out his hand, let these little things jump onto his palm, and then put his ears close to it.

"My jerboas said it's no longer here."

"Oh, do your jerboas know where the iron-eating scarab has gone?" asked the temporary commander elected by everyone.

Ace nodded, "They can track the smell of the iron-eating scarab, but I have to appease them first because they are very afraid of the beast."

After Ace finished speaking, he took out the dried meat from his pocket, fed it to the jerboas, and patted their heads.

At this time, no one laughed at his actions anymore. Auxiliary telekinetic ability users may not be as strong as other hunters in combat, but their role in a team is unquestionable.

And Ace's performance also reminded Malu of a name - Parma.

Parma is a member of the Saiyan Hunter Group. Her position is also auxiliary. Her telekinetic ability should be hearing enhancement, which can monitor the movements in an area.

In actual combat, Palma's ability is more useful. After all, her position feedback is real-time, while Ace has to release and retrieve the jumping mice to know what is happening underground, and the jumping mice have limited vision.

But Ace also has his strengths. For example, if he wants to find something stationary, Palma will be at a loss, but the jumping mice can still work, and there is also a situation like this.

The iron-eating scarab has left the area, and Palma cannot collect information about it, but Ace's jumping mice can still track it by smell.

"This guy's ability is quite useful, but he's a little too timid." Malu said, "I wonder if he's been with the jerboas for too long."

"Do you like him?" Mai Mai said with a smile, "Then recruit him."

"Let's wait and see." Pochi said.

At this time, Ace had released his jerboas again, and moved in one direction under the guidance of the jerboas, and the others followed behind him.

After walking for about 40 minutes, when many people couldn't help but relax, Ace's expression became more and more nervous.

Because he noticed that the jerboas were becoming restless, which meant that they were very close to the real owner.

Ace told the team leader of this discovery as soon as possible, and the latter also took it seriously and immediately ordered everyone to be on alert.

However, after another 20 minutes, everyone still couldn't see the trace of the iron-eating scarab. Although everyone knew that they shouldn't relax their vigilance at this time, their nerves had been tense for a long time, and their attention would inevitably decline.

At this moment, a jumping mouse suddenly emerged from the sand near Ace's feet and squeaked at him urgently.

Ace's face changed drastically. He had just said "be careful" when a golden front foot suddenly stabbed out from the sand not far away and swept towards a square-chinned hunter.
