Chapter 45: The Disappearing Thirty-Two Squad
"Dusson, have you arrived?" said Orcelli, who was speeding after Dusen, scurrying through the jungle.
"It's just ahead, hopefully they're just getting lost or something, and nothing dangerous happens. Du Sen's face was solemn, the best strength among the freshmen this time was Doro, he originally thought that the most unlikely to receive the signal signal was the 32 squad, but he didn't expect that the first one would be them.
The moment he received the signal, he immediately told Millie to stay at the station, and called Teacher O'Celli to rush in the direction of the signal together.
"Stop, it should be around here. In the glade in the forest, Du Sen rushed too hard, and took a few steps forward before stopping, O'Celli stopped and looked around: "Why don't you see the 32 team, you told them to wait in place, right?"
Du Sen frowned: "It's a disaster, it must be in danger of having to leave the place." โ
"There shouldn't be a high-level being here that students can't deal with? Aucelli asked.
"That's why I said yes, take a look around and see which way they're going. Dusen said quickly. The two of them quickly looked around the area, and finally found traces dozens of meters away. It's just that the two teachers are even more anxious, there are traces of fighting everywhere here, and there are even blood stains on the ground!
"It's over," Dusen slammed his fist into the tree, "something must have happened to them, we need to report it to the Academy." โ
O'Celli was a little reluctant: "Dusen, this is only the first day that the students we led the team had an accident, and all of them were missing, and the situation of the two of us was not good!"
Du Sen spat violently: "When did you still want this?!Do you also know that all the members are missing? Now that the life and death of the children are unknown, what is really going to happen, can you take responsibility? Don't talk nonsense, you hurry back to the academy to report the news, and tell Lily when you pass by the station, let her wait for the other teams to come back and let them all wait at the station and don't go out!"
Aucelli's strength is not much worse than Dusen, but he can't be more decisive than Dusen, he also woke up, and hurriedly ran back and was stopped by Dusen: "Wait!"
"What else?"
"Tell the academy that I'll continue to go deep into the jungle to look for the children, and tell Lily to think carefully about whether there is an existence in this area that can make all twenty people disappear in a short period of time, and think about it if it can't appear now!" Dussen commanded, and Aucelli nodded and rushed out like an arrow from a string.
Du Sen carefully identified the direction of the stampede marks and hurriedly chased after them.
"Kids, don't let anything happen to you. โ
......
Aucelli returned to the station and quickly told Millie everything about Dusen's explanation, and Millie was also taken aback, she half didn't expect that she would encounter such a major event for the first time she led the team, and half didn't expect that it was Doro's team who had an accident.
Millie has also undergone assessment and training, and with her lack of combat ability, she is naturally outstanding in other aspects, which is why Du Sen asked her to find out how the student disappeared.
Although O'Celli was anxious to rush back, Millie asked the teachers what they had seen in the jungle. Seeing O'Celli leave, Millie fell into deep thought.
"There are traces of fighting, but it looks like they are basically caused by students, there are blood stains but not much, it shouldn't be an ordinary high-level magical beast, if it's a special ...... What could it be that could force twenty students, including Doro, who was already a seventh-order, to leave the place?"
Millie was also very anxious, she squatted on the ground and kept beating her forehead with her hand, "Think about it! What's in the jungle in the eastern part of the Lost Valley!Fenos Beast?no, not to mention that it won't appear on the periphery, and the three and two squads are not all very strong, there will definitely be casualties, there will be nothing...... It's too much to say about expanding the scope conditions! I don't know where to think of it. โ
For the first time, Millie was frustrated with her knowledge reserves.
"No, I have to help. Ahh
"To put it another way, it's impossible for the academy to let students go to dangerous places, so this situation is obviously unexpected by the academy, is it a new danger, so it's not in the record......?
Millie was thinking hard, and found that a team had returned from the mission, and the task on the first day was not difficult, Millie hurriedly summoned them and told them about the current situation, and then ignored their questions, and told them to supervise each other and not go out, Millie went back and looked through the information she had taken with her just in case to see if she had missed anything.
St. Rini's actions are very fast, and in the evening he organized a team of thirty people to come over to help search, Du Sen has not come out yet, it seems that he has not found it yet, St. Rini's College has not had an accident when practicing outside the hospital for many years, and even if there is, there is no danger, because St. Rini is very well prepared, and will never let students enter dangerous areas.
The search and rescue team are all agile cultivators, but they didn't find any trace of the students after looking for a night in that area, and even Du Sen didn't encounter it, and finally they could only helplessly judge that the 32 squad was indeed going deep, and if they went inside, it was not a place that could be easily dealt with, there must be a high-level sitting, Dean Saint Rini was not there, Funnie was ruthless, and after handing over the academy to the respected teachers in the academy, she decided to go to the search and rescue in person, Funnie is a great magician majoring in the wood department, and the jungle is her home fieldใ
This incident has passed overnight, and there are about four or five brigades stationed near the jungle, and the brigade led by Dusen has all been dismissed back to the academy, and the other brigades remain in the garrison and are not allowed to enter the jungle again, and the others are not affected because they are in other areas of the Lost Valley.
This matter is not trivial, and there are children with superior backgrounds in the 32 squad, and Saint Lini did not dare to hide it, so the search and rescue team of several families entered the eastern jungle early the next morning, and the adventurer association also had a commission for search and rescue.
On the second day, at the fastest speed, Funi also led a strong team into the jungle, the eastern jungle, just by hearing the name, this jungle occupies almost the entire east of the Lost Valley region, and the size is naturally extraordinary.
But Funnie is confident in her strength, she is already a great mage of the wood type, and in the jungle, she has many ways to find the direction where everyone is going, whether it is a spell that can detect life in the range, or a spell that can communicate with plants, she is good at it. The group followed O'Celli to the last place where the signal was given, and Funnie ordered the group to be quiet.
She picked up a special staff, this staff was about one person tall, snow-white, and was made of two special materials that were wound together to form a staff that was thick at the top and short at the bottom, and the tip of the staff actually held snow-white crystal flowers, which were irregularly dotted on the top, beautiful almost like a display piece. When this staff appeared, some mages around couldn't help but show envious expressions.
As the deputy courtyard of one of the Big Three Academies, and a great magician, Funi naturally has some background, this staff is her symbol, she has no other thoughts now, silently reciting the incantation, Funi closed her eyes, waved the staff, and the surrounding plant branches and leaves seemed to be trembling by a gust of wind. The people around her looked at her expectantly, and Fannie closed her eyes and stared, but her expression became more and more strange, and finally she frowned.
If you want to say that you want to find the student as soon as possible, O'Celli is definitely one, and when he saw this, he hurriedly asked: "Deputy Academy, is there any clue?"
Funnie shook her head helplessly, opened her eyes and said, "There's no clue here, it's like... Team 32 has never been here. โ
"How could it be?" Dusson had received a signal from here?!," said Aucelli eagerly.
Funi was also silent, she didn't know what was happening, the memory of the plants was blank, as if they were ordinary plants, but this was impossible for Funi, with her ability, she could see some of the things that happened here through the plants.
Funi was a little frustrated, but she understood that time was waiting for no one, she regained her spirits and said to everyone: "There is no clue here, we can only follow the traces of Teacher Dusen to go deeper, let's go, we must find the students and bring them back safely." โ
"Yes!"
At this time, almost everyone outside was speculating about where the missing 32 team had gone, and what had taken them away?
Countless people who are concerned about this matter have put forward various speculations, but none of them can really explain the current situation.
......
It was as if Elsie had been re-conscious from the chaos, and she felt like a wisp of smoke or a soul, separated and integrated in the boundless mist.
White, cloudy, crumbling, seamless fog, Elsie was floating.
She didn't have any thoughts, only pure emotions, as if moving was her instinct, but Elsie was tired, tired, she couldn't feel her body, she could only feel mental exhaustion, but there was no end to the fog, or the fog was moving, and like her trajectory, she would never be able to get out.
When she realized this possibility, Elsie had a little other emotion, a sadness that went deep into her bones, and she didn't want to go, but the fog suddenly became restless, and it didn't allow Elsie to stop, and Elsie felt her consciousness struggling in the rolling and surging fog, and she had to float up again.
"Who can save me?"
A figure suddenly appeared in Elsie's consciousness, with short black hair, dark green eyes, and a calm, silent expression that was always there.
"I want to get close to him..."
Thinking like this, the figure seemed to become clearer and clearer, and gradually emerged from the fog, as if in front of her eyes, Elsie floated out a wisp of white smoke - it was her hand, and the figure also stretched out a hand, and just when the hand and the smoke were about to touch, that hand suddenly flashed a pitch-black giant sword, slashing Elsie to pieces.
"Huh... Ahh
Elsie snapped open his eyes.
