chapter-212
The sheer force of the explosion had created ripples in the air, causing waves through the forest and beyond.
It was as if the earth itself was protesting against the sudden upheaval, unleashing its fury through a barrage of trembling and shaking.
It also affected and extended to the nearby sea as the water of the sea churned, forming violent waves that rose high into the air. The ripples were spreading out from the epicenter of the explosion, creating a visible disturbance in the water that extended far out from the shore.
The impact was akin to a violent earthquake, with the sheer force of the blast reverberating through the air as if it were trying to shake the very foundations of the world.
In the distance, Camping students from some of the teams were jolted awake from their slumber, their bodies trembling as the ground shook beneath them."What was that terrifying sound?"
"I think it was a special beast attacking one of the teams who thought to defeat it in the cover of the dark night."
"It's stupid to fight in the night with that powerful beast."
"Which team would dare to attack the special beast at this time."
"Ah... Damn it... we should hurry. If we don't get there first, another team might snatch up the special beast and the clues for the next two. We can't afford to get left behind."
"It's no use."
"Why?""They already killed it."
"How do you know?"
"Check the team ranking, someone already took over the first position after the explosion happened."
Other smart students in the various teams also noticed this phenomenon as the ranking completely changed after the booming sound and the man-made earthquake.
<<<<
[#Rank - Team Name - Battle Points]
[#1 - Hidden - ???]
[#2 - Golden Guardians - 1150]
[#3 - Crimson Blaze - 1090]
[#4 - Hidden - ???]
[#5 - Sapphire Storm - 1060]
[#6 - The Blaze Squad - 1040]
[#7 - Emerald Enigma - 1030]
[#8 - Shadow Stalkers - 990]
[#9 - Platinum Powerhouse - 940]
[#10 - Crystal Warriors - 920]

The Top ten remained the same except the last team was replaced by a new hidden one who made its position at number one, pushing down all the other teams by one.
This phenomenon caused a shiver to run down the students' spines thinking the explosion was not done by the special beast but by one of the teams.
The Duo who reached the top one position didn't care about the ranking as they were busy looking in the distance where Rio had caused the explosion.
As the smoke and debris cleared, Rio saw that the scorching white head had been cracking with electric current, its head became a smoldering ruin. The girl couldn't notice such detail from her location but she realized the special beast was destroyed completely.
The boy received a bunch of notifications which further caused astonishment to fill in his sea-green eyes.
<<<<
[Special Beast Giant White Worm killed. Thousand Battle points gained.]
[You have acquired the Mystic Currents Puzzle.]
[Purple stage Purple Pit Rat killed. Ten Battle points gained.]

The boy noticed that not only the Special beast died but also many purple pit rats were killed in that [Heaven Destroyer] AOE attack, which indicated the fact that the home of the giant white worm was filled with purple stage beasts to make the students' life harder.
The duo's battle points increased at a fast rate, making their team Purple Lovebug rank soar to the number one spot.
Nyla also received a notification when the boy killed the Giant White Worm which was about the 'Mystic Currents Puzzle.'
Her eyes were flowing with a look of triumph and relief, knowing that they had succeeded in getting the first special beast linked to the Eastern quest chain which would eventually lead them to another two only exclusive to those who possessed the Mystic Currents Puzzle.
She dismounted from the mount and ran towards Rio who was standing a dozen meters away from her.
Hearing the approaching rushed footsteps, he turned around to look at the girl who threw herself at him, hugging Rio tightly.
"Yeee... We are number one now..." The girl was joyous seeing themselves at the top of the ranking
Rio caressed her back in his warm embrace, letting her celebrate her happiness for a while.
He didn't think that killing the special beast would be so easy but it was only possible because he was able to charge the attack beforehand using the [Overload Destroyer]. If he was engaged in an intense battle with the giant white worm then it would've been hard to execute his battle technique art so smoothly.
The boy whispered, "Let's hurry to the special beast of the southern direction, so we can have one more clue before sunrise that's available to all teams."
"You mean?" Nyla inclined her head to look into his eyes with surprise, asking as if he meant what she was guessing.
"Yeah. If we can take down the southern side's special beast, we'll have the key to unlocking the locations of not just two, but four other special beasts. It's a race against time, and we can't let this opportunity pass.
The other teams will try to claim the other direction special beast tomorrow after sunrise. We need to be the first ones to claim the southern one, this will give us a huge lead." The boy explained his plan, confirming her doubts.
Without wasting much time, they both mounted up the Frosty and started going in the southern direction, closely following the coast side.
With every passing minute, another team could snatch the opportunity from right under their noses but that was most likely to happen after Sunrise since the battle points had stopped increasing as the darkness drowned the island.
