The orange firelight flickered, and the cold wind unique to the wilderness at night hit the camp wrapped in force field bubbles back and forth from all directions, and the terrible and terrifying howls echoed in the wind, revealing an indescribable killing chill.

I couldn't tell if it was the sound of the wind blowing through the hollows of the rocks or the roar of the monster in the shadows, and the howl never stopped.

Dozens of boys and girls were huddled around the three large bonfires, and except for a few who were heartless, almost all of them did not look very good. The environment here was so oppressive that even with the reassurance of a few teachers, the average age was only eleven or twelve.

Holding a cup of hot cocoa and sitting on the pony za, Lorna took a small sip of the special product that Su Xing brought from the mushroom star, and he specially inserted an eye on the mushroom star to solve the problem of cravings, of course, this also allowed her to take out a large bag of snacks to nibble on anytime and anywhere.

In her boredom, she began to observe the expressions on the children's faces.

Fear, doubt, cringe, surprise, curiosity, anticipation...... All sorts of emotions were clear in her eyes. Of course, the most important thing is fear.

Obviously, not just one person is as completely ignorant of the fear that comes with the faint fluctuations of magical energy in the air, as Alina does. This wilderness is ...... Anyway, it's not a very formal magic circle or some other energy structure, and its boundary is about ten kilometers backwards from the camp to the city.

As for its range, Lorna roughly estimated it, and it was a little unexpected. The area of this thing is actually 400,000 square kilometers. In comparison, the city they set out from was a small one.

This is perhaps one of the largest energy structures on the planet, sustaining all the monsters in this area. Its basic structure already interferes with more than 40% of the molecules in the air on the physical level, while the more refined structures exist on the spiritual plane that is inaccessible by normal means.

Strictly speaking, these children who can pass the assessment and enter the affiliated middle school have the potential to become awakened, of course, whether this potential can finally be turned into actual power depends on luck. But even if they haven't completed their initial awakening, their perception of magical energy fluctuations is still higher than that of normal people.

If it's a group of real ordinary people who appear here, then they will only feel a little cold at best, and maybe add a little insecurity due to the environment.

And these students are miserable, they have a talent that constantly resonates with the weak magical energy environment around them, and this resonance does not bring them any benefit, maybe when they become full-fledged witchers, they can be used to perceive anomalies, but now it only sends them into a weak and long-lasting wave of confusion.

In this case, all it takes is a little stimulation that would normally be insignificant, and it can trigger a strong chaotic conflict.

She could see that the little ones were constantly in a state of mind that was going to collapse. At this rate, after the original time of a few days has passed, one-tenth of the dozens of people present can be considered to be blessed by the gods.

More likely, they brought back a bunch of madmen who had been completely crushed by fear.

Then again, it's better to face fear and not know what to do?

It's a rather simple and crude but effective way of dealing with it, happily immersing yourself in the most complete primitive killing spree, when the so-called fear is nothing more than a whisper in a dream.

It's just that in this way, the 'casualty indicator' is particularly shocking. Of course, in the eyes of the indigenous people of this planet, this sacrifice is so deservedly not worth mentioning.

They have lost so many lives in the last hundred years that they have had to make the most of every one of them. After enjoying more than a decade of peace, it was time for them to learn how to fight for this world.

By the campfire, touching her lower abdomen, the girl suddenly had a little inexplicable sorrow. After she first woke up, she ate more than a little more, and she ate at least three or five times as much food every day.

In fact, for those who are fighting on the front line, they want to have this muscle that is strong enough to be used as a shield. It's just a pity that the environment on the front line makes it difficult for them to maintain this size.

It's just that in the hearts of girls who think they have fallen into a weight crisis, the most important thing is to be able to get through this stage as soon as possible and enter 'germination'. In the 'germination' stage, her body will gradually return to normal, and more importantly, this stage is also the beginning of the Awakened to gain various magical abilities.

The more monsters you kill and absorb enough magical energy, the faster you can enter the 'germination' stage. Alina clenched her fists quietly, and the conversation Nastya had had with her before she set off was still fresh in her memory.

......

"Alina-san, first of all, I must congratulate you on successfully completing your initial awakening, which is a very important event for you, and it will determine whether you will be able to enter the Guards Academy in two years. ”

In Alina's eyes, there is a special attraction in this new classroom teacher. If I had to say, it probably felt like 'the same kind'. A faint amount of magical energy spread out around her, gradually disappearing into the boundless magical energy environment of the outside world. In comparison, the magic energy fluctuations in his body were so insignificant.

However, the first awakening is only the beginning of what you have become a qualified awakened person, and you still have many, many things to learn in the days to come. Nastya stared at the little girl in front of her, and in her field of vision, clearly visible fluctuations of azure magic energy were greedily assimilating the ubiquitous wandering magic energy.

That's a good seedling.

She silently let out a heartfelt admiration, after she first woke up, she had the magic energy of the three primary colors, and it was also the blue that belonged to the 'Tranquility Department'. This means that she will be able to fight as a 'human' for a longer period of time if she grows well.

"Here, I personally give you a little advice, you can learn to fight. For the Awakened, fighting is the fastest way to grow. ”

......

"Doesn't this action feel a little too hasty?" There are also people who are skeptical about this trial, "I'm not against this approach, but this time point is a little ......"

Balshak's face was terrible, and judging from the results of the short survey that had just ended, the strength of the monsters in this area seemed to be a little over-the-top. Originally, the crusade level was about ten to thirty among the monsters, and there were more than fifty or more aura remaining, which meant that they were no longer able to guarantee the safety of everyone, and at worst, they themselves could die in this wasteland.

Under normal circumstances, they should have immediately collected their team and returned to the city, rather than remaining stranded. However, Nastya took out an order of authorization that they could not disobey, and the mysterious woman's tone was flat, but it sent chills to everyone's hearts, "I will keep everyone safe, at least until I fall, you won't have an accident." ”

In this regard, Lorna, who moved a small pony to the side to listen to the whole process, scoffed.

If nothing else, just that disgusting monster, it's enough to wipe out everyone here. If you also consider the vast number of low-level monsters hiding in the underground cavern community, well, maybe they can have a few more options for dying?

Lorna was a little curious about where this inexplicable confidence came from, so she read Nastya's memories directly.

How to say, after a few seconds of entanglement, she could only sigh that the hearts of these people were too dirty. Of course, reinforcements were there, fifteen kilometers away, and an entire demon slayer warband followed this convoy as it set off. However, if they didn't succeed in luring out the mid- and high-level monsters in the wilderness, then they could only hope that Nastya would really be as powerful as she said she was.

It's a trial, but it's also a trap. What she did was to kill the newly born boss-level monster in the wilderness, the one she saw.

However, in this way, the high-end power of the human side is unexpectedly much weaker than that of monsters. Not to mention anything else, a level like Nastya is already close to the top of the batch, but like her, the monsters are grabbing a lot of them.

Do you want to add some drama?

After knowing the ins and outs, Lorna's idea of making trouble has been on the rise. This situation...... It doesn't fit her aesthetic at all! Even if there is no magnificent frontal battlefield, she is still engaged in such a disgusting little trick, which greatly disappoints Lorna, who has been looking forward to seeing an epic and vast scroll.

Although she could understand what these guys were doing intellectually, the wanton and unstoppable 'curiosity' that originated from Su Xing in her nature made her want to see more. Of course, she was once again willful.

Su Xing ignored the child's nonsense, and he was in deep darkness at the moment. This is the source of the black fog and the beginning of all the tragedies on this planet. However, here is unexpectedly quite ...... Clean.

He didn't find any information with the 'polluted' qualities, just pure darkness, as gentle as the night in ancient times. Again, he found no trace of the Abyssal Beast meddling in it, as if it was just a bad drama that had evolved from it itself.

The evil thoughts of the human heart contribute to all this.

But is it possible? The planet's energy level is not strong enough to support a change of this magnitude, as can be easily seen from the waste panconscious. If you take the pseudo-star spirit of the Mushroom Star as a comparison, then the pigeon that is now enjoying the treatment of ingredients is probably less than one percent of the strength of the Mushroom Star.

It's just a scrap.

"Can't you find its source yet?"

"No way, it's so clean, there's nothing left. ”

Feng Lixi came over and asked in her busy schedule, and seeing that she didn't gain anything, she handed over a bowl of clear hot soup, "Try it, the pigeon soup I newly researched should taste good in theory." ”

Su Xing's face was strange, he reached out and took the bowl of the mysterious substance that looked quite normal, smelled it, the smell was fine, and he raised his eyebrows, he was quite surprised. No, when will she be able to make such a normal soup?

Licking it carefully, Su Xing was shocked, he almost didn't even hold the bowl steady, it was incredible, this guy really did it, this bowl of soup didn't taste good, it wasn't delicious, but it wasn't hard to drink!

A little splash of soup touched the darkness around it, and at that moment, a wonderful change occurred.
