Chapter 51: A Strange Battery
Although the Xuan Qi in everyone's body has recovered about seventy percent now, the injuries on the body are not overnight, and now three days have passed, if they can successfully keep their demon cores out of the forest, then their task this time will be considered a successful completion, and these demon cores They can choose to hand them over to the academy in exchange for the items they need for cultivation, or they can keep them and go to the World Chamber of Commerce to replace them, this academy does not interfere.
Walking on the road, Chen Ning and several people are very cautious, this time is the safest, but it is also the most dangerous, after several battles last night, in addition to Chen Ning, Ouyang Xin and Haotian have all suffered some injuries, and their strength will be greatly reduced, if they really encounter a strong opponent attack, it is inevitable that a fierce battle will break out, which is what Chen Ning does not want to see.
Chen Ning walked in front, Ouyang Xin was in charge of the break, and the team formed a straight line to advance, and the faint white enchantment in the sky, but from time to time emitted a ripple that spread rapidly in the same direction, in the early morning, when the sky dawned, the enveloping envelope of the entire forest in the sky underwent such a change, pointing out the exit for those students who were in the forest in an unknown direction.
Chen Ning's mind is highly concentrated, always using his divine sense to probe the surrounding environment, the second area is not as calm as the first area, in addition to guarding against those demon beasts from time to time, but also guarding against those students, maybe in a hidden place there is a group of people waiting for the rabbit.
Moreover, the closer to the outskirts of the forest, the higher the danger index, after all, the enchantment in the sky at this time has pointed out an exit direction for everyone, and all the students in the forest are moving in this direction, which undoubtedly provides a good opportunity for some people who are waiting for the rabbit.
But the worries of Chen Ning and his party were obviously superfluous, a few hours passed, Chen Ning and the others were getting closer and closer to the exit of the second area, and they seemed extremely calm along the way, except for seeing one or two demon beast corpses on the road, they did not encounter the ambush of others.
It wasn't until everyone walked for about an hour that the group finally crossed the barrier and came to the outside of the second area, and it was only then that everyone really put their minds at ease, the demon core in their bags was saved, and there would be no more accidents, because as long as they got out of the forest area, even if the task was completely over, no one dared to rob outside.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be so calm along the way, but there was blood that I didn't expect. Ouyang Xin showed a happy smile on his face, and his tone was a little excited.
In this regard, the other young man also nodded happily and said, "Yes, I thought we would be attacked when we came out, I think it is estimated that those people in the second area have suffered some injuries like us, and they don't have the energy to block the road and rob at all, and now they are only looking for self-preservation, and they are satisfied to be able to leave the second area safely, and they have no idea of robbing others at all." ”
"Well, that's right, it makes sense. Haotian also nodded in agreement.
Chen Ning shook his head slightly, and said, "Things are far from being as simple as you think, in fact, there are really several waves of people ambushing in some hidden places along the way, but you didn't notice it, those who are ambushed in the dark may have seen that we are numerous, and they can't detect our strength, and our team is also a straight line, not easy to be ambushed, so they didn't do anything to us." ”
Hearing this, the faces of several people changed slightly.
Ouyang Xin let out a long sigh and said, "Thanks to Chen Ning, let's all pretend to be intact, otherwise, if we look like we are injured, I'm afraid we won't be so lucky." Hearing this, the other three also nodded in agreement, looking at Chen Ning with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
"Okay, let's go to the teacher quickly, and after we get off the academy, we can also take care of the injuries on our bodies. ”
On the way back, Chen Ning looked at the students who were walking towards the gathering place of the academy like his group, most of their bodies were covered with wounds, and their bodies were all embarrassed, their clothes were even more tattered, and they used branches to cover their bodies, and some of them used demon animal skins like Chen Ning, and their faces were all gray and it was difficult to distinguish their appearance.
Among them, there were some people who were injured and could barely walk, and with the support of their companions, they slowly drove along the way, step by step towards the gathering place.
When everyone walked for more than ten minutes, they finally came to the place where the college gathered, and when Chen Ning and his party came, they saw the vice president Li Tianxu wearing a white robe and standing there straight.
One step behind him, there were several college teachers with indifferent expressions, and behind them, there was a large group of new students from Jason College, with a total of nearly a thousand people, they were divided into two camps, of which the number of people in the right camp was several times that of the other camp, although some of them were wearing school uniforms that were stained with a lot of mud, but there were few broken places, and the overall appearance was still intact.
The other part of the people looked quite embarrassed, their school uniforms were tattered, and there was a lot of blood on them, and through the gaps in their clothes, they could vaguely see that they all had scars on their bodies.
In the camp on the far left, there were only more than a hundred people, without exception, all of them were extremely embarrassed, most of them were wearing clothes made of bark, leaves and demon animal skins, and there were not a few of them who were naked, all of them were arranged by a teacher to gather together.
Then Chen Ning and the others sat on the grass and waited quietly, at this time, he already knew that the people in the camp on the far left had been in the forest for three days and only came out today, while the people on the right all came out within three days, according to the regulations of the academy, whether they got the corresponding demon core or not, they were considered a failure in the mission.
Chen Ning casually swept his eyes around, and found that many people who stayed in the same camp as him, many of them had gloomy faces, and some people looked at some people with deep anger and hatred in their eyes, as if they had some deep hatred.
At this time, Chen Ning seemed to feel something, and looked back slightly, only to see a person in tattered clothes, with a black face, and several students standing not far behind him, looking at him with that resentful gaze, and the eyes of the young man in tattered clothes were full of raging anger and strong murderous intent.
Chen Ning glanced at the person up and down, and then a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he had already recognized that the person was actually Li Yu.
Although after experiencing last night's incident, Chen Ning can be said to be an endless rival with Li Yu, but Chen Ning doesn't care at all, he may not be as good as Li Yu in terms of strength, but once Chen Ning breaks through the Xuanshi realm, Chen Ning is confident that he can defeat Li Yu.
In terms of family power, Li Yu completely crushed Chen Ning, but Chen Ning didn't believe it, it was impossible for the dignified Li family to come forward to embarrass himself directly because of the contradiction between himself and Li Yu, for a trivial matter, after all, Li Yu was injured by himself when he robbed Ouyang Xin, and besides, this is Jason Academy, Chen Ning didn't believe that the Li family could come to Jason Academy to arrest him without regard for the dean's face.
Subsequently, after basically coming out of the forest, Chen Ning and Haotian returned to their camp in the first area, waiting for the roll call of the teachers.
After that, the students of the first and second areas merged together at the same time, and walked quickly in the direction of the academy, and when they passed a small river on the way, everyone washed their faces, and then continued to move forward.
When everyone came to the high platform and queued up to stop, Vice Dean Li Tianxu and the rest of the teachers all walked directly onto the high platform, Vice Dean Da Ma Jindao sat on the chair, and said in a flat tone, "The Demon Hunting Beast Competition held by the Academy is now officially over, according to the regulations of the Academy, after the task is over, the prizes will be distributed immediately, now please stay in the forest for three days, and the students who have more than two demon cores will be listed." ”
As soon as the vice president's words fell, more than 300 people walked out of the crowd one after another.
"Now let's first count the first-order demon cores, and ask the students who hunted the first-order demon cores to come to the stage to count the number. The vice dean continued.
Subsequently, including Chen Ning and Haotian, all the students who hunted the first-order demon cores walked up to the high platform in turn, and there was a teacher on the high platform who was responsible for counting and registering the number of demon cores obtained by the students.
Among these more than 300 people, the strength of the Xuanshi below the fifth order accounted for the vast majority, when the people who paid the first-order demon core came out, there were more than eighty people left in the place, which made many students who did not know the situation in the second area feel very puzzled, although the second area is full of second-order demon beasts, but the attack power of those demon beasts is not high, with their strength above the fifth order of the Xuanshi, it may be more troublesome to deal with alone, but it is not difficult for several people to join forces and hunt the demon beasts in the second area, but I didn't expect this to be the case。
Only a pitiful eighty or so people in the second area have completed the task, which is much smaller than the number of people in the first area.
When the first student came to the teacher who paid the demon core, he took out the demon core directly from the space belt and gently placed it on the table, the number of demon cores of this student was three.
The teacher's eyes swept over the demon core on the table, the teacher was about fifty years old, then nodded slightly, and said, "Well, yes, the task is complete, what's the name." ”
"Teacher, my name is Jack. The young man who paid the demon core was full of joy, and he was extremely happy that the teacher said the word 'good' to prove the teacher's affirmation of himself.
The teacher picked up the pen and wrote it down on the paper, then spoke, "Return the space belt to the academy, take your demon core down, you can go to the library and exchange it for the equivalent items you need." ”
The student happily responded, put away the demon core, and happily walked off the high platform.
"Next. ”
Subsequently, one after another, the academy began to take the space belt forward to record, and it didn't take long for more than a hundred people to pass in the blink of an eye, and the most one even took out a dozen first-order demon cores, and the teacher also nodded appreciatively.
At this time, it was the turn of a handsome and extraordinary young man to come to the stage to hand over the demon core, and there was a mark on the young man's forehead that resembled the shape of a battery, and there was a trace of blood on the mark, which must have been caused by the injury of hunting demon beasts in the forest.
Chen Ning also immediately looked at the young man, not because of the young man's appearance, but because of the weapon that the young man was carrying on his waist attracted his attention, it was a square black bump, not like iron, not like gold, black and black I couldn't see what it was, but Chen Ning felt as if he had seen it somewhere, after thinking for a while, Chen Ning finally remembered, it was very similar to a battery on an electric car in his previous life, yes, it was a battery, it was just the same shape, Chen Ning was dumbfounded, what the hell is this.
The young man came to the teacher with a calm face, silently untied the space belt on his waist, and then the demon cores were taken out of the space belt by him, and placed them on the table one by one, as the demon cores were taken out, soon there were ten demon cores on the table, and the young man's movements still did not stop at all, and continued to take out the demon cores from the space belt slowly, not in a hurry, and the expression on his face has always been extremely indifferent, which shows that this young man is a very stable person.
