Chapter 18: Distress in the Woods

They move through the complex forest with ghostly steps, each step mysterious. They were the ninth-level students of the Martial Arts Academy, and the amount of time they spent in the academy now was not much different from that outside. They're no longer just wearing wooden weapons, they're now equipped with their own weapons.

This is a field combat practice, and almost everyone here is used to this kind of course, which is nothing more than going around a large forest, killing a few monsters, and then returning to the academy after class.

He Xi was still the first in the class, so he played as a striker, while Kovo and a dozen other students kept the formation behind him. And the one who had been angry with He Xi for nine years, accompanied by Ling Feng, led the team forward on another road not far away.

"Report, there is an eighth-order demonic beast nearby. The whereabouts of the Rakshasa princess are unknown. A student appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

"It's just the eighth order, look at what you're afraid of, although that little princess can't beat the demonic beasts at that stage, it's enough to escape......"

However, before Kovo could finish speaking, the student's words interrupted Kovo's words like thunder. "It's wurm, the number is unknown!"

"Everyone come with me, you can't save the little princess of the Rakshasa clan, you don't want to graduate. ”

With that, Corvo told everyone to form an attack formation and told everyone to rush to the cave that the student said they were talking about as quickly as possible. In fact, there is a reason why Kevo is so nervous, for the little princess of the Rakshasa clan who has been in the academy for nine years, although the eighth-order demonic beast can't be beaten, it is not enough to be fatal, as he said, it is still easy to escape. However, that eighth-order demonic beast is a wurm, a kind of social demonic beast with special skins that can not only resist the attacks of most weapons, but they are also immune to most spells.

A single voice brought them all to a halt. The mournful voice echoed over and over again in the cave, and it was particularly harsh, making the already restless Kovo even more anxious. If the princess of the Rakshasa clan dies while she is in school at the Swamp Academy, the terrible wrath of the Rakshasa clan will befall all the teachers.

He Xi immediately flew along the mountain wall, a pair of different pupils ignited two completely different flames, and the cold scimitar was already unsheathed and waiting to attack. He didn't have time to wait for Corvo's next command, because he knew that the little girl was still alive at this point, but if they had been any slower, it would have been an unknown. Although Kovo was also in a hurry, he still organized all the students, and then commanded the team to chase after him quickly.

He Xi quickly turned a corner and continued along the edge of the river. He couldn't hear any creature now, and could only look forward to seeing or meeting the trapped little girl sooner. When he turned a corner again, he suddenly saw seven huge monsters in front of him, three guarding the passage against the wall, and the other three guarding the other side, one of which was slightly larger in front of a weak figure, preparing to eat.

He Xi plucked up the courage, controlled his body at a height that was just separated from the ground, quietly wanted the child to get closer, and then swooped down and hugged the child, not caring to look at the child, He Xi rushed out with the fastest degree in his life.

At this time, Kovo's team also turned the corner, and He Xi shouted before everyone could react. "Let's go, seven wurms!" his shout not only alerted the newly arrived group, but also angered the wurms who had already recovered their senses, and they angrily watched as everyone in front of them waved their claws and roared and rushed over to surround the group.

At that fateful moment, He Xi didn't have time to think about it at all. His fear for the child's life and death had long outweighed the fear of the danger in front of him. He is a warrior of the demon clan, a prince of the Shadow Mist Clan, and all the training he receives is to meet the enemy, and the children in front of him are pitiful and helpless, and can only rely on them.

As soon as the seven wurms approached them, they attacked without hesitation. He Xi jumped into the air again, dodging several attacks that smashed the rocks, but he didn't expect to be hit by one of them with his tail and fell directly, and the child in his arms also fell not far away.

The two wulongs approached He Xi quickly, completely ignoring the attack of his double knives, and directly opened their bloody mouths. The little girl's cry also sounded again at this time, the child's desperate voice completely overwhelmed his reason, He Xi's alien pupils ignited a strange two-color flame again because of anger, and even the wurm showed a little timidity. He Xi took advantage of this opportunity to quickly fight back, slashing one of the wurm's eyes with a scimitar, and then another scimitar stabbed directly into its throat through its soft mouth. The wurm didn't have time to scream before it collapsed.

Before He Xi could get close to the child, a heavy claw cut several large openings directly on his body, and even the chain mail was torn off, and blood kept flowing out. At this time, his whole body was no longer able to move, and he watched as another wurm kicked the child fiercely. He Xi's heart also collapsed at this moment, and he crawled helplessly towards the child.

The wulong who had killed the little girl slowly turned around and walked towards He Xi. Seeing the current situation, two of the students immediately rushed over, one used the attack to distract the wurm, and the other helped He Xi to his feet. And one of the students who was responsible for distracting the wurm accidentally tore it into several pieces by the two wurms.

At this point, the second group arrived. Ling Feng and Liyan rushed towards the remaining six wurms with the students of their group, instantly relieving a lot of burden on the team of the first group, and they began to gradually gain the upper hand. The creatures began to retreat, trying to escape. However, the demon students who were already angry had already killed their red eyes, and they attacked them in groups, pressing forward step by step. In the explosion of magic and the slashing of weapons, those ugly wurms fell one by one, and all of them were slaughtered.

Lixian hurried forward to see if the victim child was really his little sister. After a cursory look, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not from my family, it's not at all." ”

Another student checked it again, picking up the token around the child's neck and examining it. It was only then that the token was not even a family emblem, so it was confirmed that the child was just an ordinary commoner. When everyone found out, they all had a bright smile on their faces.

"You're all doing well, only one person died. You can return to the academy with pride and celebrate today's victory. Kovo said.

He Xi quietly looked at everything in front of him, it turned out that in the eyes of some people, it was obviously two people who died, but it was said that only one person died, could only nobles be counted as a person, and only nobles were worthy of their rescue. If he hadn't been a nobleman, would the student who had just died and the student who was supporting him still rush over to save him so decisively? The answer was already in his mind.

"That kid was arranged in advance, why did you risk your life to save a civilian?" Ling Feng said coldly as He Xi lay on the bed.

Ling Feng's words stabbed He Xi hard in the heart, he sat up violently, and He Xi, who was already injured all over his body, felt even more painful at this moment. The anger began to gradually replace the original calm, and He Xi's different pupils ignited a two-color flame again.

He Xi threw a punch, but because of the impact of the pain, the degree of punching was not as good as that of ordinary people, and he was easily picked up by Ling Feng.

"You've known for a long time what the difference between you and them is. The test can be done in other ways, and it is a joke about one life? Isn't the life of a civilian a life? Now, one of your tests has cost two lives. After He Xi finished speaking, he pulled out his scimitar violently and pointed at Ling Feng tremblingly.

"You're enough! don't think I'm afraid of you, it's easy to kill you now!" Ling Feng was already furious by He Xi's repeated attacks, slapped the table and stood up directly, ready to draw the sword at his waist.

"What's wrong?" a voice came from outside the door. The two of them turned their heads and saw a dream painted with a surprised face. She frowned and said, "The two of us can't kill each other now!

Ling Feng finally found himself under the steps, and quickly sat down with his hand on the hilt of the sword, and He Xi did the same.

Drawing dreams looked left and right in the hallway a few times, then closed the door. "Someone wants to take revenge on the Shadowmist Clan. Of course, if this is true, you can't run away from Wind Sand City. ”

"Which family is so fat that they want to eat the two of us at once?" Ling Feng asked. He Xi looked confused, and didn't know what to say on the side.

"I heard that it was because of the extermination of the Ghost Tiger Clan. Said Painted Dream.

"None of the Ghost Tiger Clan survived at the beginning, what other person could avenge them?" Ling Feng sneered.

"Could it be that we have been framed by others? Mother should have sent someone to arrest all those who spread rumors and cut out their tongues, right?" asked He Xi.

At this time, Huameng and Ling Feng laughed at the same time, Huameng shrugged his shoulders and said, "My good brother, you are really cute, on the night you were born, the entire Ghost Tiger Clan was wiped out. Now that I think about it, I have to count your credit!"

"My credit? Is it really our family who did it? Our family wiped out another family?" He Xi couldn't quite accept this shocking news. He had heard a little about this matter, but he had no idea that the attacker of this matter was his own family.

"That night, because I couldn't find the other party's mage, the tide of the battle was gradually reversed. Mother took the risk of giving birth to you at any time and forcibly urged the formation to find someone, and then just when she couldn't hold it anymore, the pain you brought to her made her release the last magic power in an instant, and the other party's mages were all blown up in an instant. When he said this, he smiled proudly.

"Teacher Junmo was there that night?" He Xi asked.

"Needless to say, including your two elder brothers and Ling Feng are fighting in Ghost Tiger City. Lord Junmo even killed the patriarch of Ghost Tiger City and his wife with his own hands after his mother broke the formation of the Ghost Tiger Clan, but Nangong stayed there forever and couldn't see our final victory. Said Painted Dream.

He Xi suddenly felt that the world was spinning when he heard this, and he couldn't believe the fact he had heard. He knew that Jun Mo had killed his own kind, including many nobles, and he thought that it was born between families because of territorial matters, but he now knew that he was wrong.
