"This is the Gravel Wasteland, so go down here. "The person in charge of handling the flying carpet is a Level 3 apprentice, and he wishes these apprentices would have gone down the clouds sooner, and every second spent in such a place means that they are one step closer to danger.

Seeing this, Merlin pulled Sister Serena down from the flying carpet as well, and after everyone came to the ground, the third-level apprentice didn't say a word, controlled the flying carpet to turn around and leave, and soon disappeared into the night.

"Merlin, are we going camping in the wilderness today?" asked Serena, a little uneasy.

"Do you think this is in the academy? It's not so comfortable to go on a mission, if you're not prepared, then end this mission immediately. Merlin said as she stared at Serena.

"I ...... I'm ready. Serena bit her lip slightly, but her expression was very determined.

There are many kinds of academy tasks, some of which are done within the academy, such as planting, breeding, or helping with experiments. However, these tasks are either extremely low-paying or extremely dangerous.

Some plants and farmed animals are very dangerous, poisonous, or ferocious, but the most terrifying thing is to assist the official wizards in their experiments...... Generally speaking, official wizards don't let their apprentices die, but mutilation, disfigurement, and so on happen from time to time. To put it bluntly, many times, the apprentices who help with the experiments are their guinea pigs, so it's no wonder that a person with a soft personality like Serena is not willing to stay in the academy to do tasks.

Although these apprentices have their own agendas, it seems that they must also be in the same boat in the wilderness for now. A makeshift camp quickly formed, and the apprentices gathered around the campfire, half curious, half nervous, mouthing utter unnutritious nonsense, but their eyes wandering into the darkness. However, they didn't know that dozens of miles away from them, a pair of mysterious and vicious eyes had already stared at them.

Merlin sat motionless by the campfire, as if in meditation. But in fact, she was trying to figure out the magic of 'Nebula'.

Nebula didn't help her with her strength improvement. But it did improve the purity of the spiritual power, stabilize the spell model, and let Merlin's strength steadily increase, avoiding some of the effects of future troubles. Merlin felt that there must be more mysterious secrets in this nebula, so as long as she had time, she would study the nebula and ponder its mysteries...... Mei Lin didn't realize that when she was pondering this nebula, she artificially accelerated the nebula's own movement, which played a role in cultivation, although the effect was not very obvious now, but it was of great benefit to her future development.

Serena and Serena also sat silently by the campfire, not knowing whether they were meditating or pretending to sleep, but their faces looked very calm anyway.

The night wind whined and suffocated the bonfire.

Whoa, whoa, whoa......

In the distance, in the night, there was a terrible, wolf-like howl.

"What's that?"

Hearing this cry, Merlin felt a wave of horror in her heart, and when she opened her eyes, she found that Frodo was standing up, Monica was also standing, and everyone else was standing up.

"Merlin......" Serena opened her eyes and looked at Merlin without some uneasiness, and Selina also turned her gaze.

"There are so many of us, nothing to be afraid of. Merlin smiled back at the sisters as a sign of comfort.

"There's an enemy!, everyone ready to fight!" Frodo shouted, and the apprentices became nervous.

Merlin also stood up, and there were figures in the distance, and there was a sound of hooves. In the wilderness in the distance, human figures rushed over like a tide, rushing towards them with murderous aura...... The people came quickly, and it didn't take long for them to fully enter their field of vision.

These people are dressed in a variety of clothes, some of them are wearing tattered leather armor, some of them are just wearing ordinary clothes, even the horses they ride are varied, and their weapons are even more varied, but they all exude the same fierce aura on their bodies.

"This legendary bandit?"

Merlin had heard of banditry in the Gravel Wasteland, who were fierce and brutal, eating human flesh and drinking human blood, specializing in robbing passing merchants, and especially preferring to grind children into blood and make blood wine.

Now it seems that the fierce aura of this group of bandits who suddenly appeared on their bodies is like a hell devil, and it is indeed extremely ferocious.

"What's that?"

Among this group of bandits, Mei Lin also saw some fierce beasts with curved heads and scales, some like wolves, but without a single hair on their bodies, one meter high at the shoulders, and nearly two meters long.

Obviously, these are the most vicious, and the gravel wasteland has produced the famous fine-scaled horned wolves, but this bandit group is somewhat capable, and they can even tame the fine-scaled horned wolves...... You must know that wolf nature is the most unruly, and there are still some means to be able to tame them.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The overwhelming rain of arrows, dense, pounced like locusts, and the arrows pierced extremely strongly, as if they were going to tear everyone's bodies.

This group of bandits actually stopped five hundred paces away and shot them all over the world with a dense rain of arrows!

Moon!

Wilderness!

Bandits!

Rain of arrows!

It forms a sinister, bloody, and thrilling picture of the wild.

"Luckily, I was prepared!"

Merlin muttered, took out a tower shield very strangely, and then drew her long sword...... She and Sister Serena hid behind the tower shield, blocking most of the rain of arrows, and then used their swords to send the missing arrows flying.

This tower shield was the trophy of Merlin's last mission, and as for the storage bags, it was no secret, as a student of the dean, she still had a little responsibility, and others didn't know that she had several storage bags.

With some preparation, this attack of the bandits could only have the effect of harassment, and the counterattack of the apprentices soon came...... A poisonous cloud suddenly appeared above the group of bandits, and more than a dozen bandits in the area shrouded in the poisonous mist, along with their mounts, fell one after another, and they died of anger after struggling on the ground for a long time.

"What a powerful poison cloud technique, this Frodo's methods are very powerful! If I fight the spell alone, I may not be his opponent! But if he fights to the death, he is afraid that he will definitely die. ”

Merlin's hole cards weren't those level zero sorcery, but her psychic illusions, potions, and the Ring of Balke, as well as the bow. However, Frodo is also a well-known figure among the second-level apprentices, and as long as he doesn't provoke himself, Merlin doesn't want to provoke the other party. But the heart of defense is indispensable, and it is not a bad thing to have an extra heart. ”

Merlin was secretly calculating in her heart.
