May 1, 12 noon.

Long Yiyi and his party, who had accepted the punishment task, officially left the range of the grass dormitory and headed towards the Seven Wolf Peak, which was deeper in the forest.

Akira Fukuoka, who was well prepared, was at the front, carrying a hiking bag and thick-soled mountain boots on his feet, and was responsible for splitting vines, branches, and thorns in his way with his mountain opening knife.

At Akira Fukuoka's side, there is also his elf Luck Cat, which is an electric Pokémon from the Sinnoh region that looks like a lion cub.

Then in the middle are Mai Kurosaki, Nobi Komura, and Mari Fujita.

Among them, Mari Fujita only released a Bibi bird to be in charge of guarding the sky, and the other elves were not suitable to rush together.

And Long Yi was arranged to be cut off because of the relationship between Mo Yan and the weapon. After all, many carnivorous beasts and elves like to attack from the front and tail of the team, so it is necessary to arrange the strongest fighters.

Pushing aside a dangling vine, Ryuichi tightened his backpack and kept up with the group.

The road in the forest is not pleasant, or there is no road in the forest at all.

Beneath your feet is the 'soil' formed by the decay of leaves that have fallen over countless years, and there are a large number of insects living in it, and in some places there are even gaps that can be directly submerged into the calves when you fall with one foot.

Above, the shade of the trees shaded the sky, countless vines fell from the sky, and many elves hid in the canopy of peeps.

For example, Alidos, such as the Dark Raven, such as the Monkey Monster.

The cries of countless life in the forest converge into a unique forest song, and the bustling human voices gradually fade away, and the more you walk, the more you can feel your own insignificance.

"Stop!" Crystal Fukuoka, who was walking in the front, suddenly shouted to stop.

"What's wrong?"

Several others quickly stepped forward and found him crouching on the ground checking a footprint.

"It's the footprints of a bear, and we seem to have trespassed into its territory." Akira Fukuoka stood up and said.

The Ring Bear is a spirit with great destructive power and is also irritable and irritable. Many of their own trainers are reluctant to encounter this kind of spirit when traveling in the wild, because it is troublesome and can easily get injured.

"If there's a lap bear, we'd better get through the area quickly." He said.

"I haven't heard of a ring of bears around here, could it be passing by?" Nobi Komura made a different opinion.

After all, this forest is most familiar to the students of the grass dormitory, and the main activities of the students of Class B are in the rock mountain.

"Well, I hope you're right." Akira Fukuoka didn't insist either.

The team continued on, but soon came to a halt.

Because Akira Fukuoka found a tree.

There is nothing ordinary about this tree, what is not ordinary is that there is a large beehive in the canopy, half a meter in diameter, and the yellow and black wasps are densely packed to fly in and out.

The presence of a beehive means the presence of honey, and honey is the bear's favorite dessert.

If the Bear had made it his territory, he would not have let go of such an obvious hive, and one of the bears' habits is that they will mark all the trunks of trees in their territory that produce delicious fruits, fruits, and honey.

This mark is usually the claw marks of the circled bear, which is used to show force.

Unfortunately, there are three clear scratches on this tree, and the marks are still very new.

The changes in the forest were fast, and apparently it was a banded bear who had just migrated from elsewhere and decided to stay here for a long time.

"What should I do, do I want to take a detour?" Long Yi asked.

The last time he looked for Gray Plains didn't count, this was the first time he walked in the forest, and it was always right to listen to the opinions of his predecessors.

Fukuoka Akira shook her head: "We don't know how big this bear's territory is, it's impossible to make a detour, and there's no guarantee that there won't be powerful wild spirits in other places. ”

Yebi Komura took out a map and spread it out on the ground: "We are probably here now, the territory of a circle of bears is almost 200-500 square kilometers, assuming that we are in the center of its territory, then it is possible to run into one of the five coyote dog groups in the forest to the east, and to the west is the sphere of influence of a group of monkey monsters and fiery monkeys, so it is unrealistic to take a detour." ”

Elves who live in groups are more terrifying than those who live alone, and it is precisely because of this that the students of the grass dormitory will take this path between the two elf groups.

"If it dares to appear, it would be good to beat it away or subdue it, it's not that no elves have occupied this empty territory before, but none of them have been more than three months old." Mari Fujii said lightly.

This path has been specially carved out by generations of students in the grass dormitory to go deep into the forest, and any elves who try to occupy it will be driven away by them.

Now this bear is just because it has just arrived, and it has not been spotted yet.

"Fujii-san's words are good, but if we don't meet us, we won't meet it, after all, the circle bear is not easy to mess with, and the injury medicine we bring is limited."

"Then let's go, speed up and get through here."

The three of them decided on it, and the team moved on, with Ryuichi and Mai Kurosaki, who were first-year rookies, silently following them.

It went well, they didn't meet the bear, and they came safely to a river in the forest.

It is said to be a small river, but it is also seven or eight meters wide and very deep.

According to the village of Yebi, the river is the territory of a tyrannosaurus and leads directly to the foot of the Seven Wolf Peaks.

This is good news because the river is very long, and the chances of encountering a tyrannosaurus are not very high. And as long as you don't throw big rocks into the river to provoke it, the Tyrannosaurus will not actively attack the people on the shore.

The soil on both sides of the river was thicker, and the view was more open because there were fewer trees, so the team moved more easily.

On the way, they rested on a lawn on the shore for a while, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, several people came to the destination of this trip - Seven Wolf Peak!

It was a verdant mountain with a lot of plants growing on it.

The Seven Wolf Peak is not high, it is estimated that it is only eight or nine hundred meters, the shape is similar to the word 'mountain', there are two lower sub-peaks and a high main peak.

The main composition of the summit of the main peak is rock, so a platform without trees, flowers and grass protrudes obliquely.

According to the legend among the students, this platform is the place where the seven wolves duel on the night of the full moon, and the winning wolf king will roar at the moon at the forefront, overlooking the seven wolves below.

"This is the Seven Wolf Peak." Long Yi looked up.

This mountain with all kinds of legends does not look amazing, it seems to be an ordinary low mountain in the forest.

"Senior, do we need to climb the mountain?"

It's still early, and if you speed up, a few people will still have a chance to climb to the top of the mountain before the sun sets.

Fukuoka Jing shook his head and said, "Our mission is to investigate the cause of the student's disappearance, and it has nothing to do with the Seven Wolf Peak. And after a day of traveling, everyone is very tired, and if you climb the mountain again, it is easy to be unable to react when you encounter danger. ”

As a second-year student in Class B, Akira Fukuoka knows very well that climbing a mountain looks easy, but it consumes a lot of physical strength, especially this kind of barren mountain without artificial steps, it is not as easy to climb as it seems.

"By the way, how should we investigate?" Long Yi suddenly remembered the previous email, "And what kind of terrifying existence you said you might have designed before, so what?" ”

"It's a fool." Mai Kurosaki, who had been silent all the way, panted, she looked exhausted, her face was covered with sweat, "Haven't you heard of man-eating beasts?" ”

Man-eating beasts?

What is that. Ryuichi didn't know, but he soon knew.

If tigers and lions, as beasts of prey, accidentally prey on humans, then they will easily become addicted to this delicious and easy-to-hunt prey, so that they will no longer hunt other animals, only eat humans, and become man-eating tigers and man-eating lions.

The less intelligent beasts know this, and the wiser elves know it......

You must know that although wild elves are not low in intelligence, they do not have a cultural heritage similar to humans, so when an elf tries to kill humans and succeeds, it will also become addicted to it and become a man-eating monster, that is, the man-eating beast in Kurosaki Mai's mouth.

If there is a place where students are missing in a row on the island of trainers, then there is a chance that there is a man-eating beast.

"Our purpose is simple, find it, and then kill it. If the strength is too strong, bring the information back and let the teachers of the academy handle it. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are other reasons for the disappearance of the students, but the man-eating beast is indeed the most suspicious. Akira Fukuoka concluded.
