The shadow of Fang, who had been sitting at the entrance of the cave all night, looked at the sky with the branches of the trees, and the sky was already white.

"Ryan."

Tooth Shadow shouted in the direction of the tent.

Ryan, who was sleeping soundly, immediately opened his eyes, got up and walked out of the tent.

"What's wrong?"

"It's dawn."

Tooth Shadow pointed outside.

"Oh!"

Ryan stretched and slapped his face to make himself more sober.

Because of the wilderness survival course, they wake up easily, but that doesn't make up for the lack of sleep.

Ryan disposed of the pork leg left over from last night and served it as breakfast.

Then, it was time for them to go out and look for the beasts again.

Leaving the camp this time, Ryan had covered the hole with a tree branch.

Tooth Shadow was supposed to do these things yesterday, but when they left, he forgot to disguise the hole!

Thankfully, no monsters or people have discovered their camp.

"Where are we going today?" Tooth Shadow said.

He carved a triangle into the tree. It's a mark, and in this forest where there are no obvious references, if you don't make a mark, they'll get lost in it.

"Go a little deeper!" Ryan took out the map given by the academy and pointed to the inner part of the Yunyin Mountain Range.

They all walked around the camp, and they were all first-order demonic beasts. It's useless for them to wander around here, they can only go a little deeper.

In this case, the risk is also greatly increased. After all, the deeper you go, the more likely you are to encounter high-level magical beasts.

"Let's go!"

Ryan put the map back in his arms.

Towering trees, piles of shrubs, and weeds can be seen everywhere in the mountains. However, there are often mercenaries in and out of the Yunyin and Cagle Mountains, and it is inevitable that there will be many roads in them.

Ryan and Tooth Shadow followed these paths as they progressed.

"Why haven't you encountered a single demonic beast for so long, has something happened? You go up the tree and take a look. ”

"Uh...... Why does that sound so weird? ”

Ryan scratched his face. But I honestly found a tree and climbed it.

The trees in the Cloud Hidden Mountains are generally stout, but they can still withstand Ryan's weight.

Coming to the treetops, Ryan looked into the distance.

There was nothing out of the ordinary, just that he felt something discordant, but he couldn't say the specifics.

[Then why is there no Warcraft?] 】

With a stomach full of doubts, Ryan descended from the tree.

"Keep walking! Nothing out of the ordinary. ”

However, after not taking a few steps, Ryan stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Fang, who hadn't heard Ryan's footsteps, turned his head to look at him, a look of confusion on his face.

"It's too quiet, isn't it!?"

Ryan exclaimed suddenly.

There were no birds, beasts, or insects.

"What's wrong with that?"

"It's a big problem!" Ryan said nervously, "These birds and insects are much better than humans in perceiving certain dangerous things. If they don't chirp, it means—"

"Mean?" Tooth Shadow tilted his head to look at Ryan.

"There's something in this forest that scares them!"

You must know that ordinary magical beasts can't pose much of a threat to them, otherwise they wouldn't be able to live in the forest. And that thing Ryan is talking about can make them feel terrified souls!

"Roar Roar Roar ————"

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, a deafening roar shot through the sky. At the same time, there was a violent shaking of the earth.

Ryan's shoulders sank slightly, as if something heavy was pressing on him, but the rest was nothing.

Ryan glanced in the direction where the roar was coming from, and then saw the shadow of the tooth beside him, pale and slumped on the ground.

He put his hands on the ground behind him to barely hold his body from falling.

"What's wrong with you?" Ryan asked.

"You, you are, don't you feel anything?"

Tooth Shadow looked at Ryan and said weakly.

"What does it feel?"

"That huge coercion!"

"Is there one?"

“……”

[Is this guy a freak?] 】

Tooth Shadow thought so as he said, "Help me up." ”

Ryan stepped to the side of the Tooth Shadow and put his hand on the back of his neck, helping him up.

"Mentor Yuena isn't around." Tooth Shadow judged so.

If she was there, she would have come out long ago and let them go.

"Hurry back to Linshan City and tell them about the situation here." Tooth Shadow said quickly.

"What the hell happened to give up on your graduation project?"

For the graduation project at Carr College, one person only gets one chance. If they leave the Yunyin Mountain Range within these three days, or if their lives are threatened and they are rescued by the teachers of the academy, the graduation project will not be completed.

Those who do not complete the graduation project will not be able to graduate from Karl Academy, and they will not be able to enter the intermediate magic martial arts academy in Canter City. As long as you get this letter of introduction, no matter how poor your qualifications are, you can enter that college. This is a big matter about a person's future.

However, the Tooth Shadow wanted to give up for no apparent reason.

"You don't feel it, but my feelings are not wrong!" Tooth Shadow's eyes widened, his eyes full of fear, "This is, this is ......"

……

The lake near Tooth Shadow and Camp Lane is located in the middle of it.

"Gurgling ......"

The bubbles are constantly churning upwards.

"Poof!"

A human head jumps out of the water.

"It's ......"

Yuena looked in the direction from which the roar had come from. She gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice the identity of the owner of the roar.

"Sixteenth-Order Holy Beast!"

"How could this thing be here!" Yuena hurriedly swam to the shore.

This lake should have been formed recently, otherwise it would be impossible for mercenaries or students not to discover it for so many years, and it would not be possible for there to be no demonic beasts in the lake.

And Yuena, who followed the two of them all the way as a censor, had the idea of taking a bath here after discovering this clear and unpolluted lake.

However, as soon as she reached the bottom of the lake, she heard this loud roar.

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be in the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountains? How did it come out here. ”

The 100,000 Mountains are a huge group of mountain ranges that stretch across half a continent. It is the dividing line between the Duchy of Canteria, the Duchy of Gardon and the Empire of Faravis.

Of course, the 100,000 Mountains are just a name, and no one knows whether there are 100,000 mountains in them. Even if the demigods descend, there is a possibility of falling there, so no one has ever been to the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountains.

But there is one thing that people in the whole continent are sure of - there are more than a plurality of holy beasts living in the depths of the 100,000 mountains. And they usually stay inside and don't come out easily.

Dressed, Yuena came to the place where Ryan had left. Determine the direction of their movement by looking at the imprints they made.

Along the way, Yuena wondered where the hell this sacred beast came from.
