Three hours later, it was already late at night. At this time, Lu Chuan had simply taken a bath in the river and was walking through the darkness with an expressionless face.
He took a shower not because he loved to be clean, but because he had just gone through a battle and was not only contaminated with the bloody smell of bulls and demon wolves, but he was also sweating, which contained the smell of humans, so he had to wash away the smell as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you may be discovered by monsters with a sensitive sense of smell.
He has adapted to the terrain of the forest, walking on the soft soil and rotten leaves, occasionally sneaking into the low trees to observe the situation around him, and then continue walking.
The speed is much faster than before.
He had no intention of sleeping, not because of Lin Min's instructions during the interrogation, but because he felt that the forest was far scarier than he imagined.
The forest covers an unknown number of square kilometers. As he walked through it, he saw not only tall trees, but also several low hills, flowing rivers, lush grasslands around the valley, and even low-lying lakes.
swamp.
The mix of various terrains means that there will be all kinds of monsters and all kinds of unexpected dangers.
Once you fall asleep, who knows whether you will wake up the next day?
Therefore, he chose to remain mentally tense, observing his surroundings while continuing to move forward.
The moonlight was bright, and there were only slight footsteps rustling in the dark and silent forest.
…
…
Defend the hill where your classmates are.
Zhen Qingshou and Wang Gu were holding bows, arrows and spears, and were alert to the back of the hill. Around them, there were dozens of freshmen with the same solemn expressions as the two of them.
Nearly three thousand students chose to stay behind and were divided into seventy teams, each with forty to fifty people, to defend different parts of the hill.
Originally, the students on the mountain thought that defending was an easy task. After all, there was only one way up the hill, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack. With such a large space on the mountain, they could rest on the mountain.
But they soon discovered that they were wrong, and how wrong they were!
They know how to walk up the mountain, but monsters can't!
Not long after they settled down, two giant toothed tigers appeared on the side of the hill.
Although the giant toothed tiger was only in the Qi training period, he was soon discovered and beaten to death by his classmates. There were no casualties, but it caused a huge commotion.
Monsters in the Qi training stage can sneak up, but what about those in the foundation building stage and the golden elixir stage!?
Therefore, the seventy teams immediately entered a fighting state and were stationed around the hill and began to be on alert.
"Qing Shou, how do you think Lu Chuan is doing now?"
Team 67, where Wang Gu and Zhen Qingshou belong, have not encountered any monsters on the mountain yet, so they are relatively relaxed and still have time to chat.
"Four or five hours have passed. I guess he has reached a deeper location in the forest." Zhen Qingshou said with a solemn expression and worry.
"According to Lin Min, our place is considered the edge of the forest. There are the most monsters in the Qi training stage, very few in the foundation building stage, and there are less than five golden elixir monsters..." Wang Gu looked at the dark night sky in front of him:
"Deeper up, there are a lot of monsters in the Golden Core stage..."
"To be honest, I admire Lu Chuan very much and envy his courage."
Zhen Qingshou glanced at Wang Gu and smiled: "I'm envious of him too, but I know I can't learn from him."
"After you and I entered Sifangxian University, there was a certain gap. Not only you and I, but I also felt this gap among many freshmen. Everyone seemed to be very nervous after feeling the competition from their peers...
"
"But I have never seen this kind of gap and tension in Lu Chuan."
"He doesn't seem to pay attention to these at all. From the moment he met him, there seemed to be only two things he cared about - how to practice and how to eat."
Wang Gu also smiled when he heard this. They had been with Lu Chuan a lot these days, so they naturally understood Lu Chuan's appetite.
"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?" From the side, another tall freshman came over and asked curiously.
"We are talking about our neighbor in our dormitory. He is a good eater and can eat dozens of kilograms of monster meat in one meal." Zhen Qingshou replied with a smile.
"Ah? So delicious? Where is he? Which team?" the tall man asked with interest.
Zhen Qingshou said: "He did not stay behind and chose to travel through the forest."
"Ah?" The tall freshman made a surprised sound, then shook his head and said, "That's really a pity..."
Zhen Qingshou's expression immediately changed and he cursed: "What a shame for you!?"
The tall freshman also knew that he had said something wrong and was about to explain.
And at this moment.
"Ouch!!"
Suddenly a beast roar sounded in the distance.
The tall freshman immediately said: "It's Team 68 next door. Another monster is coming up. This is the third time they have encountered a monster! What's going on?"
Zhen Qingshou glared at the tall man fiercely, and then looked warily in the direction of Team 68 next door.
They are responsible for different areas. Under normal circumstances, they cannot leave without authorization, but if Team 68 encounters any difficulties, they still have to help.
…
…
Lu Chuan was walking in the dead silence of the forest, but suddenly, the student card in his arms suddenly flashed, and a voice appeared from it.
"The fellow who travels through the forest..."
Lu Chuan's expression changed suddenly and he immediately stepped on the student card under his feet. He carefully observed the surroundings and found that no nearby monsters were disturbed. Then he put his ears closer and listened carefully.
It was Jiang Rou's voice. At this time, her voice was very fast and full of anxiety: "Long-distance transmission consumes too much power of the formation. I am trying to send you the last transmission."
"Of the five students who traveled northwest, only three are left in the formation's induction."
"The sensors of the other two students disappeared about a hundred miles away from the starting point. Please pay attention to the following students."
"We have encountered some difficulties in defense, so we will give up the formation induction for the next three students to save the power of the formation. If the three students can reach the Shaxing Station in the northwest, they can destroy the student cards in their hands
The way to indicate the defensive formation."
Then, the power of the formation on the student card was completely extinguished.
Lu Chuan, on the other hand, frowned and looked ahead, his expression completely gloomy.
If you are not going in the wrong direction, you will be one hundred miles away from the starting point...
It should be right in front of you.
What kind of danger could it be that two classmates would die here?
Or,
There is no danger at all, but there is some kind of force ahead that will block the power of the formation?
