novelThe Land of Death!
| ← Ch.088 | Ch.090 → |
The Dark Forest was incomparably vast, and many magical beasts lived there. Although it contained danger, there were also many opportunities.
As the assessment progressed, many students obtained many things during this trial.
Some encountered precious herbs by chance, and the value was not cheap.
Some obtained precious ancient trees, and the wood could be used to create magic wands.
At the same time, as the training progressed, many students also revealed their strength.
Other than those who were already influential figures in the academy, they had also revealed a great talent that surpassed that of ordinary geniuses during the trial. There were also many people who were originally unknown and had soared to the skies in this trial.
Very quickly, half a month's time passed.
As the trial gradually approached its end, many students felt that they had already passed the test, so they began to bring their spoils of war with them as they prepared to leave.
Of course, there were also some students who were brave and radical, carrying all sorts of thoughts as they continued to head towards the depths of the mountain range.
In the depths of the dense forest.
A barren area suddenly appeared, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding dense forest of trees.
This place was a land of death.
It was unknown when this place began to be filled with miasma. Many creatures had died, and it was difficult for any plants to survive here.
Many magical beasts were unwilling to live here.
Such a unique living environment made many people suspect that there was something precious inside.
However, those who had such thoughts either found nothing or died in there mysteriously.
With the accumulation of time, even the adventurer teams on the continent who were crazy for gold coins no longer dared to approach.
They would avoid them as long as they encountered them.
However, at this time, in this infamous land of death, there were five people who were on alert.
These five people were three men and two women.
They were all wearing the clothes of the Saint Laurent Magic Academy.
Obviously, they were the students of this assessment.
At this moment, there was only one road under their feet, and most of the roadside were charred black wood. Most of the branches had no leaves, but they were surging with a different kind of vitality.
The five people walked on the road, and the unique will of magic spread out. Occasionally, one or two could be seen hiding in the dark, coldly watching the poisonous insects that came here.
The dense forest was quiet, without a sound.
As the five of them walked, they tried to keep their footsteps light, vigilantly observing their surroundings.
"Siba, are we really going to continue moving forward?"
In the team, the skinny mage standing at the front tightly held the magic staff in his hand and looked at the surrounding environment. He could not help but swallow his saliva and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that this place is very strange!"
These five people were the lucky ones, Siba's team.
When he heard the skinny mage's words, the other mage with a big beard glared at him."You've already entered, why are you still talking about this!"
"But by the way... Siba, are you sure that this path is correct?"
"I don't know why, but I also feel that it's gloomy. I can always feel that something bad will happen."
Hearing their words, Simba looked around and said, "Don't worry, this path is correct."
His calm tone made the four companions around him gradually calm down.
However, none of them knew.
Although Siba seemed calm when he spoke, his eyes were actually filled with nervousness.
'System, are you sure that there's really an opportunity to continue forward?' Siba could not help but ask in his heart.
"Don't worry, host. This path was specially chosen by the system. It's the safest path!"
"As long as the host follows the method given by the system, there's absolutely no problem!"
The system replied coldly.
Hearing the system's reply, Siba felt a little more at ease.
In reality, this time around, Siba was also taking a huge risk.
His system not only allowed him to gain experience by killing magical beasts and mages, but also strengthened his strength and cultivation.
It could also guide him.
It was similar to radar and satellites.
But the difference was that the system was not only useful, it could also predict the most suitable way of fighting and solving problems for the host according to the environment and various data.
Just like now...
During his experience in the Dark Forest, Siba obtained a treasure map through various coincidences.
After identifying it, he found out that the location of the treasure map was actually in this dead land.
If it was the previous Siba's personality, he would definitely have gone around it with regards to his own safety. He definitely would not be in such a hurry to come over.
However, perhaps it was because he had been stimulated by Lilia's cultivation, Siba had actually made up his mind to come and explore the secret.
Through his understanding of the dark forest and the information given on the treasure map, the system had analyzed the most suitable route for the treasure.
Then, he brought his own team over.
'According to the records on the treasure map, it is a precious fire attribute spirit fruit. After consuming it, it can increase the affinity of fire attribute magic, and it can even increase the cultivation of magic. If I can consume it, my strength will definitely rise to a higher level!'
'If that's the case... Then I'll be one step faster catching up to Lilia's pace. '
In this way, Siba became even more determined in his choice.
He continued to move forward.
After walking for another hour or so, although there was no dense forest in front of them, for some unknown reason, it actually became darker and darker.
At the same time, a rotten smell pervaded the air, and groups of poisonous insects were also buzzing.
Some predators hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity, began to stare at the five living humans. As long as they found an opportunity, they would rush forward.
The corpses that had fallen to the side of the road, leaving only white bones, shone with a demonic luster under the light.
On the side of the road, the withered trees collapsed and twisted, like palms reaching into the sky, as if they wanted to grab something.
Crouching in a dark corner, was it a giant spider that was making strange laughter? Saliva drooped down from the corner of its mouth.
A ferocious aura was spreading and covering this place...
The gloomy and cold aura was getting stronger and stronger.
It made the five people of Siba's group involuntarily have goosebumps.
"Siba, why do I feel that it's getting more and more..."
Kuka finally could not hold it in anymore and wanted to speak in a low voice.
However, before he could finish his words, an extremely suppressed roar suddenly sounded, followed by a loud buzzing sound in the silent wasteland.
A murderous aura pounced from the front!
The bearded wizard who was standing at the front had a drastic change in expression as he hurriedly said, "Not good!"
"Magical beasts and poisonous insects are coming to attack us!"
"Everyone, be alert!"
