With a crisp sound, cold blood spilled from the shattered crystal bottle, spilling onto the boy's hair, face, clothes, and arms.

The cold wind blows, and time seems to freeze.

Including the two third-order nightmare beasts that were seriously injured and not dead, plus the small group of beasts that had just jumped out of the forest, a total of nearly thirty terrifying nightmare beasts of different sizes turned their eyes in unison, and a cold sight full of destruction shot out from those dim and dead eyes, and invariably fell on Morin, who was stained red with blood.

For a moment, the silence could be heard, as if even the person who was fighting with the two third-order nightmare beasts subconsciously put down the weapons in their hands, and on the one hand, they were horrified by the strangeness of these nightmare beasts, and on the other hand, they cast doubtful and worried glances at the young man.

The thumping heart squeezed out the blood, thumping against the ear drums, the world seemed to stand still, but the heart was still beating faster and faster, and the chest seemed to be about to explode, Merlin stared at those nightmare beasts deadly, seeing their cold gazes, bending down one by one forelimbs ready to burst out, he suddenly understood something.

Without further hesitation, his surging magic power poured into the muscles of his legs, and he rushed forward.

At the same time, on this small battlefield, almost all the Nightmare Beasts roared and jumped up, rushing towards the boy.

Morin's perception had never been so clear, and under the frantic burning of his mental power, he took almost all the nightmare beasts into his field of vision, only to see the oblique dodge the oncoming attack of the large man, and then narrowly avoided a tail whip full of barbs on his side, and at the same time condensed the dazzling pattern to change his trajectory, flashed a huge claw, ran three steps to the left, changed direction in an instant, kicked away a small blue wolf that was not threatening, rolled on the ground and rolled under a scorpion-tailed beast that pounced, and finally the short sword blocked the flick of a tail thorn, and rushed into the forest without looking back。

A series of movements under Merlin's galloping caused him to rush directly through the Nightmare Beasts and flee in the opposite direction, while all the Nightmare Beasts on this battlefield, including the two third-order giant beasts that were seriously injured, all followed and rushed into the forest.

The cold wind blew, and the remaining dozen teenagers, especially the two groups of Strayer and Cleo, were all stared at each other, and it took a long time to react to what had happened.

If I had to describe it, it would be like ...... Just...... Those nightmare beasts all ran away after Merlin? Just now, when they were almost unable to support the rout, Merlin poured some red liquid on himself, and then the group of nightmare beasts, as well as the two big guys, all ran away after him?!

A dozen teenagers, you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other as if trying to make sure from the expressions of others that they are not crazy.

"What should we do?" said Aeno urgently, "Morin, it's too dangerous for him to deal with so many Nightmare Beasts alone!"

Barron and Marcus glanced at each other, both of them were full of worry in their eyes, seeing that Marcus had no idea for a while, he turned to the other two groups on the side and said, "You leave some people to protect the wounded and follow behind, and the rest follow me to help Morin!"

With that, he carried the hammer and divided it slightly, dividing the three groups into two groups.

But a dissatisfied voice suddenly sounded, and Clio sneered and said, "I don't agree! Why should we draw people from our group to help Morin? In addition to our wounded to take care of, we have trials to do!"

"You!" Ai Minno was so angry that he pulled out his dagger that it was bright: "It's too much! If we hadn't seen your fire line technique to help, you would have been killed by those two third-order nightmare beasts a long time ago! Just now, it was clear that the situation was urgent, and in order to save everyone, Mo Lin took the initiative to attract the attention of the beast herd, and he was in trouble! You guys refused to do a favor!"

"Of course we'd be grateful for your help! But it's not reasonable to ask us to help Morin, what can we do even if we catch up with so many nightmare beasts? What if those nightmare beasts suddenly turn around and rush towards us? I can't run like Merlin!" Cleo sneered, and subconsciously leaned towards his team:

"And looking at the situation, this is clearly your ghost, right? There are so many nightmare beasts in this area, you must have used that blood-like potion to lure them over! Professor Honorom said before that the difficulty of the first floor of the trial tower is not so great, it must be your troublemaker! Your last prank was disturbed by us, so we want to use this method to take revenge!"

"To make such a dangerous thing, even disregarding the lives of your classmates, you are really friends of Morin, a raccoon dog-"

"That's enough!" Barron shouted angrily, raising the hammer in his hand, "How do you love it!"

The sound shook like thunder, and Clio was so startled that he took half a step back, but Barron didn't pay any attention to him, turned his head and exchanged glances with his companions, and saw that everyone had made up their minds, nodded and said in a rough voice: "Let's go, let's go help Merin!

"Wait!" Strayer interrupted, as he walked over to Cleo and said politely, "Our group of Anna and the injured Clarke, who have run out of mana, and ask you to take care of them, and try to keep them back if they can find a place to rest." ”

"Well, okay, rest assured, Your Highness. Cleo said casually, his tone still not too perfunctory. In fact, the Gesok nobles like Clio and them looked down on Lothar in their hearts, even the king of this remote country was just a descendant of a traitor in their eyes, and the founding king of Lothar was the griffon archduke who betrayed their Gessok empire.

Of course, in this situation, it would be too irrational to refuse Barron's request and Strayer's request, and neither of these two groups is inferior to them.

"We'll follow you first, and we'll rest when we find a suitable spot. Clio said with a seeming retreat, he actually thought that the nightmare beasts in this direction were all chasing Merin, and there was Baron and they swept in front, it must be the safest direction, and there would definitely be no danger in following Baron in this direction.

"Hmph. Of course, Marcus heard Cleo's thoughts, but he didn't bother to bother with him at this juncture, and after transferring some items that were not in the storage box, he briefly exchanged opinions with Strayer and the others, and Strayer led the team in front, Barron and Osmond were still in charge of responding to unexpected situations at any time, and the rest of the people focused on hurrying.

A dozen or so students divided into two batches and chased in the direction of Morin's escape.

Fortunately, the traces left by the herd chase were obvious, so that they could easily see the direction of Morin, and at the same time, Merlin did attract a large number of Nightmare Beasts behind him, and the remaining Nightmare Beasts were extremely rare, and the team they chased could almost chase them as fast as possible, and they hardly had to worry about unexpected situations such as sudden encounters. Even though the discussion had been delayed for some time, it didn't take long for them to see the group of nightmare beasts chasing Merlin.

……

Maureen was scurrying through the forest, or rather, running quickly in one direction.

Although the forest in this trial tower is not very dense, the terrain is also much more complex than that of ordinary villages and cities, and if he is not careful, he may trip over a fallen tree, and all kinds of vines are everywhere to obscure his vision, making the already unrecognizable direction even more blurred, and he has to maintain a high degree of perceptual concentration at all times.

Even if it is to expend mental energy, it is not hesitating.

Although on flat ground such as the Gobi, the boy had absolute confidence to defeat the first- and second-order nightmare beasts, and the third-order nightmare beasts also had the strength to fight, but here, in the forest, it was too difficult to rely on his speed to get rid of the nightmare beasts, and not only because of the terrain, but also because of the terrain, he had to always be careful if there would be any nightmare beasts rushing ahead, and beware of things like a big claw suddenly reaching out in those bushes to scratch his ankle.

Fortunately, his mental power is still quite abundant, so if he persists in this way, he will not face the problem of mental exhaustion for a while.

"Run!" He didn't know how long he had been running, but he suddenly heard a familiar voice not far from him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was actually Barron, who didn't know how he got here, and was moving forward in parallel with him at a distance.

"Barron!" Merlin cried out in surprise.

Barron shouted at Merlin as he ran: "Strayer said you have to run a big lap, running straight ahead might attract more Nightmare Beasts, and you should have broken out of the original closing circle, the wounded will be able to go to a safe place to rest in the last moment, and you can start going around in circles!"

"Did you see how many Nightmare Beasts were behind me when you came here?" Morin said loudly, gasping for air.

"There are about eighty or ninety of them, but they are divided into longer ones because of the different types of Nightmare Beasts, so Marcus said that you have to make a big detour to avoid crashing into the Nightmare Beasts behind you. ”

After reporting some numbers and units representing radians and radii that he didn't understand, Barron reflexively ran back, presumably to report back to Marcas.

Merlin silently calculated in his heart, slightly deflected the direction of his escape, and prepared to run a large circular trajectory according to Marcas's calculations, so that these nightmare beasts would always follow behind their butts and eat ashes.

In a small area behind him, the hundreds of nightmare beasts that were frantically chasing after him also changed direction slightly at the same time.

The first lap was the most strenuous one, relying on Barron to rush back and forth through the Nightmare Beasts to pass the results of Marcas's calculations, so that Merlin could correct the direction of his escape, while he also silently memorized the terrain, and in many places he was almost overtaken by the beasts that followed closely behind, but relying on short-range bursts finally opened up some distance.

Moreover, there are several small rivers in this large circle, although the nightmare beasts have gathered into a group and will no longer stop in front of this kind of small river, but it will still slow down some of their speed, while Merlin directly stepped on the elemental barrier and rushed directly to the opposite bank, taking the opportunity to rest and flee again.

By the time of the second lap, it was already getting easier.

Because the herd had left too many obvious traces, the boy no longer needed to correct the direction of Barron, and he could run out of a big circle again along the trajectory of the previous round, not only that, because he had been trampled by various larger nightmare beasts, the road in this circle had also become much better, and all kinds of soft ground had been trampled on, and the small trees blocking the way had been directly knocked over, forming a high-speed passage.

By the third and fourth laps, Merlin had begun to deliberately slow down, trying to keep the distance between his herd within a reasonable range, neither being caught up but not letting the nightmare beasts lose interest in him, for fear that the large group of nightmare beasts would no longer chase him and turn around and attack the team members who were following behind.

By the time it was dark in the evening, Merlin had already reached the sixth lap, and there were six or seven hundred nightmare beasts of various sizes behind him, and the whole ground was shaking and trembling as the huge herd of beasts rushed past.

The unusual sound attracted a group of adventurers and adventurers to investigate, and they were all stunned when they saw a teenager leading a horde of hideous nightmare beasts running down a forest track that was almost flattened.

Although they didn't know what the specific situation was, it didn't affect their admiration that this young man was a real warrior, and many of them even simply found a high ground with a good view next to it and set up camp, watching the rare sight in this trial tower - after all, all the nightmare beasts around them had gathered behind the young man's ass, and they couldn't even meet a nightmare beast for a long time.

There were even quite a few people cheering him on the side of the forest track, leaving the running teenager speechless, because many of them were strange adventurers that Morin had never seen before, of course, they only cheered him from a distance when Morin was about to run, and by the time he approached with a large group of nightmare beasts, the cheering people had already fled for an unknown distance.

"Come on Morin, run ...... Morin"

When the light on the sky disappeared and it was completely night, many priests spontaneously helped him release the illumination technique, in addition to following him to illuminate the nearby situation, a cloud of white light lit up on the forest track at intervals, looking at it from a distance.

"Ten laps...... Eleven laps ......"

Of course, in the second half of the night, it was not so lively, and most of the adventure team had already returned to the camp to rest outside the Lookout Realm, leaving only Barron and a few of his companions, who were still accompanying him on the side of the forest track to cheer him on.

Gradually, Merlin felt that he was about to fall asleep, just taking a mechanical step, his eyes only opened a slit, squinting at the trampled forest track in front of him, running with his legs at a fixed frequency like a pendulum, if it weren't for the group of nightmare beasts behind him running too much, he almost forgot that there was a lot of trouble behind him.

After some time, he suddenly came to his senses and found that it was already dawn, and a silver rune was shining in his hand.

The scene changed, and he returned to the gloomy Trial Tower Square, with Tilna and the others standing beside him.

"Maureen!" "Wow!" "A true warrior!"

The classmates who had seen his feat in the Tower of Trials came to care, but Clio walked towards Honorom.

"Professor, I'm going to report it! They played a prank in the Tower of Trials, using potions to attract a large number of Nightmare Beasts to gather!"
