Looking at the puzzled expressions of several people, Ivan explained: "I have been to the outer reaches of the Sunset Mountains before, and it is really very dangerous. It's not just Warcraft that's the source of danger, it's just part of it. ”

"Poisonous insects and beasts, hidden pits, poisonous miasma, disorientation, these are all dangers. But I didn't find too many ordinary beasts along the way, let alone poisonous insect miasma, and in general it was too calm. ”

"Too much calm is a sign of greater danger, and we're in trouble. Hudson's face was a little ugly, with a little fear. Several others became nervous.

"What are you talking about! I mean there are too few dangers, and this forest must have been cleared by the teachers, so I said you can't do it. Ivan pushed his non-existent glasses and continued, "The academy intends to train our mental qualities and field adaptability again. I'm afraid that the monster is not easy to find, and if it is expected, it will not be found in the short term. ”

Ivan's guess was not finished, perhaps there were no magical beasts in the assessment area at this time. Warcraft was put in by the teachers over time, so there was basically no danger. Ivan didn't believe that the academy would start the death game directly, and the danger of the Sunset Mountains was by no means something that a group of first-order magicians could resist.

"Let's find a place to stay first, and then we'll go look for the monster. Otherwise, the hard search will be fruitless, and it will be a little late to find a place to stay. Ivan suggested.

"I think we'd better hurry up and look for the monster, it's so big here, you can always find it. If we don't look for it now, I'm afraid that the nearby demonic beasts will be robbed by others. Keith gave his opinion.

"Yes, Captain, let's hurry up, if we find a Demonic Beast today, we don't need to spend the night here, I think we have the strength to defeat a Demonic Beast." "Lin also tends to look for monsters, and she really doesn't want to spend the night in the forest.

The academy will not let an assessment end in a hurry. It wasn't difficult to defeat a first-order demonic beast, but how easy would it be to a real forest? This was clearly planned by the academy.

"Whether it's assessment or survival in the wild, we have to think about the worst-case scenario. So it's a must to have your foothold ready before dark. Passing the assessment is the goal, I won't take risks? Since I'm the captain, you have to listen to me for the time being. ”

"I think the captain is right and his analysis makes sense. In addition, the captain has been to the Sunset Mountains, so he must know more. ”

Seeing that there were objections, Hudson immediately came out to support Ivan. After that, the eyes of several people looked at Alice, who did not express an opinion.

Alice heard the words of both sides thoughtfully, glanced at Ivan and Hudson, and had some speculation about their relationship. Ivan secretly said that she was really a perceptive girl.

"I think it's better for us to be safe, and to fight a war is to think about defeat first and then win. We need to be ready for the road ahead. ”

Eventually, Keith and Lynn reluctantly followed in search of a foothold. Along the way, he looked around, trying to find the traces of the demonic beast, but he found nothing, and he believed in Ivan's statement a little.

"There's a cave here, I took a look, there's a water source nearby, it's the best fit. It's the rainy season, so we need to be prepared for the rain. Keith, you and Hudson go to prepare hay and firewood. I'm going to tidy up the cave. Lynn, you and Alice go in search of something to eat, and your water binding spell can catch ordinary beasts. ”

"Don't we have something to eat, two days is enough to find the Demonic Beast, why do you want to find it!" Lin pursed her mouth, a little reluctant.

"Our food can be stored, and at the moment we are in good condition, so we will use other things to top it first, and we may not be able to find the monster in two days. We need the state to defeat Warcraft. ”

Lin stopped talking, thinking that Ivan had a point. After the division of labor was completed, the five of them acted separately.

Draw out the short knife prepared in advance, cut a few straight branches, then break some leafy branches and tie them to one end of the branch with vines. Finally, the shed is at the entrance of the cave, with the branches and leaves facing upwards, which can effectively resist the rain. Entering the cave, Ivan used the branches to clear a clean, flat ground as a resting place.

"Huh? These are some of the hairs of the monsters. It seems that there were demonic beasts living in the cave before, and even if it is deserted, there will be no traces. Ivan felt that his suspicions had been confirmed. Eighty percent of the demonic beasts living in the cave were cleaned up by the academy.

The forest was dark and difficult to tell the time, and Ivan regretted that he didn't bring a magic watch. The timekeeping tool in this world is a magic prop that is divided into equal parts according to the time of day, and the price is about one or two gold coins, which is not cheap.

The assessment of the college does not prohibit students from bringing some small things, but they cannot bring backpacks, so the things they can bring are very limited. Ivan only brought a short knife, a metal water cup, and some trauma potions. It's not survival in the wild, so you don't have to think too much about it, and it's okay for a short period of three to five days.

Soon Hudson and Keith returned, holding some half-dried branches. As for hay or leaves, they probably don't exist during the rainy season, but Ivan took it for granted.

"Ivan, there is nothing dry in the forest, so I have to find some half-dried branches. Hudson beckoned and placed the branch on the ground.

"What are we going to do next?" Hudson asked after taking a sip of water.

"You go around the neighborhood to see if there is any trace of the monster, if you find it, don't do it, hurry back to find me, remember to mark the road, so as not to get lost." ”

"Didn't you say you wouldn't look for Warcraft, Captain, why did you change your mind now, you might as well look for it in the first place!" Keith was unhappy with Ivan's inconsistent statement.

"It's not that we don't look for it, but we have to be prepared, looking for a monster is a long time, so we need to prepare a foothold. Besides, have you seen any traces of demonic beasts along the way? It is absolutely impossible for the demonic beasts of the Sunset Mountains to be so rare, so my speculation is still reasonable, and we have to make long-term plans. ”

Keith thought back and found that there was indeed no trace of the monster, or that he didn't even see a few beasts, so he couldn't help but believe Ivan's statement, and turned back to look for traces of the monster with Hudson.

Ivan looked for some clean, smooth leaves, laid out the branches, and spread the leaves on top of them, so that the simple sleeper was ready. Since it took a lot of time on the way here, it was past noon, and it was time to get something to eat.

Soon Lynn and Alice returned, especially as Lynn was still humming a little song in her mouth, and seemed to be having a good time, apparently this place was considered a tourist place. Alice, on the other hand, is flirting with the skirt, but it doesn't seem to work very well, and the skirt is already a little out of shape.

"Are you back?" asked Ivan from afar.

"We picked some beautiful mushrooms, some beautiful flowers, and caught a bunny. Lin happily showed Ivan what she had gained, and showed Ivan the flowers. As everyone knows, Ivan already has a black line on his face.

"Don't you know that beautiful mushrooms are usually poisonous, and they are usually gray or white when they are edible, and what kind of trouble are you picking so many flowers? Could it be to decorate the cave?"

Ivan slammed his head and covered his face with a roar, really, these two little girls didn't know what a combat assessment was! It was not enough, but fortunately they brought back a rabbit, and it was okay for everyone to eat less.

Lin Man thought that the captain would praise himself a few words, but he didn't expect to get a blaming, his eyes were red, and he almost cried. Ivan was also a little annoyed, and he was angry for a while and spoke heavily.

"Okay Captain, we really don't have much experience, so we didn't do well, but you didn't say exactly what we were doing, didn't we? Didn't we bring back a rabbit?" Alice said roundly, patting Lynn on the back and comforting Lynn with her life.

"Okay! I'm talking about it very seriously, everyone is a stranger at first, everyone should be considerate of each other. I'll roast the rabbit first, and let's have lunch with the food. Ivan took out his knife and walked over to Lin.

"You, what are you going to do?" said Lynn with a vigilant look on her face, holding the rabbit in her arms tightly.

"What else can you do? Cook lunch! We only have two days of food, and we have to prepare other food in advance in case something goes wrong later. ”

"I don't want it, the rabbit is so cute, why kill it, you're too cruel! Don't we have food?" When Lin heard that Ivan was going to kill the rabbit and eat the meat, she immediately stopped doing it, and hugged the rabbit tightly, with a look of disobedience.

How can a girl who is usually so normal have a problem with her brain? She can't recognize the current situation clearly, and she can't be reasonable.

"I'm the captain, be obedient and give me the rabbit!" Ivan didn't want to continue pestering, and said directly in a commanding tone.

"I don't! I'm going to protect the rabbit and not let you kill it for your own selfish desires. Lynn refused to listen and hid behind Alice.

"Alice, get out of the way, I have to make this hopelessly stupid girl understand what is the majesty of the captain and the cruelty of reality. Otherwise, she would have thought we were here for a tour. "Ivan is really angry this time, as the captain, he must lead everyone to complete the assessment.

Alice was in a dilemma for a moment, looked at poor Lyn, and then at the angry captain, and didn't know what to do for a while. However, at this moment, Alice's stomach growled, obviously hungry. Alice didn't hesitate any longer and pushed Lynn out.

"Lynn, let's listen to the captain, no matter how cute the rabbit is, it can't make everyone hungry. If you like rabbits, I'll buy you a hundred after the assessment, okay?"

"Oh no! Alice, you traitor!"

As soon as Ivan snatched the rabbit, he walked towards the surrounding mountain springs. From behind came Lynn whimpering.

"The captain is a big badass! I'll ignore you in the future......!"

Ivan ignored the trouble, slaughtered the rabbit with a knife, washed and skinned it, and found a clean branch and strung it together. Once back at the entrance of the cave, find some dry branches, use your magic to raise a fire, and start roasting the rabbit.
