Chapter 165: To the Secret Forest
[Emperor Xuanlie: It's been a long time since I've returned to my own forest, but coming to the secret forest today actually made me feel like before. 】
"Xiao Ran, hurry up, hurry up, we seem to be late again!"
Yu Chu ran in front and turned back to urge Shizome in the back, today was the day they set off for the secret forest.
But because they had gotten up a little late in the morning, the two of them ran towards the hall in a panic.
At this time in the hall, Jin Yuanbao and Qin Meili teacher stood on the platform, and there were seven people standing neatly under the stage.
"You say... Will the two of them oversleep again? ”
"Maybe."
"Ah, I'm sorry, teacher, we're late."
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Yu Chu and Xi Ran immediately appeared at the door of the hall, Jin Yuanbao looked at the two who were still gasping, nodded, and did not accuse, and directly let them in.
"Hmph, someone is really such an important day and everyone waits, it's such a big shelf."
Zhu Ming'er looked at Xiran, who walked in silently and stood next to her, and couldn't help but start complaining again.
"Are you talking about Teacher Yan and the ancient?"
Shizome looked straight ahead, not angry at all, but raised an eyebrow in response.
On the way here just now, she saw Teacher Yan walking here with Gu Gu, and estimated the time, it should have arrived now.
Sure enough, when Zhu Ming'er was about to refute, she saw the two teachers who walked in, so she had to swallow this breath and turned around and didn't speak again.
Xi Ran glanced at it, in addition to her, Yu Chu, Xuan Lie Huang, Xue Yue, Zhu Ming'er, and Zhu Huan, there were two men and a woman who she didn't know, and the dress should be their senior.
Originally, the top ten had the opportunity to go to the Secret Realm Forest, and there was another person who was Xuan Lianna, but she had already left Tianhai Academy, so this time there were only nine of them.
"Ahem, okay, everyone is together, then I'll talk about it. First of all, congratulations on entering the top ten of this Star Spirit Master Appraisal Exam, and there is another student who has left Tianhai Academy due to family reasons, so this time there are only nine of you.
Congratulations on getting the opportunity to enter the Secret Forest, and Gu will lead you into the Secret Forest for a week-long field study about the Spirit Grass Elixir, and each of you can also pick a Spirit Grass Elixir you want.
This is considered a benefit that the ancient government has applied for you, and Teacher Yan and I will be responsible for your safety.
Now I will announce the list of the top three in this appraisal test, and they will additionally get to choose any spirit beast in the secret forest to make a contract!
1st place Shizome, 2nd place Genlena, 3rd place Seukak. Because Xuan Lianna left the school, Emperor Xuanlie, who ranked fourth, could also get a chance to choose a spirit beast for a contract! ”
"Principal Kim! I... I'll forget it, I don't need to. ”
As soon as Emperor Xuan Lie heard that he still had this opportunity, he immediately raised his hand to refuse, how could he, who was originally the incarnation of a spirit beast, go to contract with a spirit beast again!
"Huh? Why? You don't want such a great opportunity? Contract spirit beasts can increase the combat power of the star spirit master. ”
Jin Yuanbao was interrupted by someone, and he was even more surprised to hear that he was going to give up such a good opportunity.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what Star Spirit Master wouldn't want such an opportunity!
"It's not... I, I've heard that contract spirit beasts are risky, and ... This contract spirit beast has such a chance in his life, and I still want to be cautious.
And it seems that I also heard that the higher my level, the more I can contract with high-level spirit beasts. So, I'm only one star at the intermediate level now, and I still need to improve myself first. ”
Emperor Xuan Lie looked at everyone around him looking at him suspiciously, so he couldn't help but scratch his head and began to talk nonsense, in short, he could achieve the goal of not making a contract with the spirit beast.
"That's right, yes, it's very reasonable, that's okay, I'll give you special permission that you don't have to contract with the spirit beast, but if you really go there and change your mind, it's still okay."
Jin Yuanbao was very pleased to see that Emperor Xuanlie was so motivated and thinking very long-term, although this kid usually looked like a child, he was actually very attentive to his cultivation, so he allowed him to break this example.
"Principal Kim, I want to too..."
As soon as Xi Ran raised his hand, before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Jin Yuanbao and stopped.
"There is only one exception, and you are now almost intermediate three-star, you must find a suitable spirit beast, it will be good for you."
Jin Yuanbao then interrupted Shizoen's words and said, he was very optimistic about Shizoan from the bottom of his heart, and this time he also came to participate so that he could personally choose a good spirit animal for her, and it could be regarded as making up for Ruoshui's care for him.
"Uh...
Xi Ran really couldn't speak again this time, but she already had the Star Ice Nine Xuanhu, how could she sign a contract with other spirit beasts again?
However, she saw that Jin Yuanbao had a tough attitude and could not refuse, sighed, and could only take one step at a time.
"Okay, if you're ready, let's go, don't run around when you go in, move together wherever you go, it's full of dangers, and it's easy to get lost, you know?"
"Yes!"
---------------------------------
At the entrance to the Uncharted Forest
When Jin Yuanbao and Teacher Qin Meili talked about a lot of precautions on it, they kept telling them a lot, listening to everyone a little drowsy, and finally took them to the entrance.
All of a sudden, several people were interested, looking at the huge door in front of them, there was a thick barrier in front of them, and inside was a white expanse, and they couldn't see anything outside at all, and they couldn't hear the sound inside.
"Teacher Qin, within this week, the affairs of Tianhai Academy will be handed over to you to take care of, and you, the part-time acting principal, must do it well. If something does happen, don't forget to send a special signal, and we'll be right away. ”
Jin Yuanbao finally turned around and took Qin Meimei's hand, and also told with some worry that Qin Meili had heard that Jin Yuanbao was also coming, and that Yan Yingyao was also coming, so she kept shouting to come.
But then Jin Yuanbao's words: "If you also come, who will take care of the entire academy?" What if something happens during this time? I don't feel at ease when I hand it over to outsiders, only you, I don't worry. ”
It was this sentence that made Qin Meili finally agree to stay, in her opinion, she was not an outsider, but the person Jin Yuanbao trusted the most, which made her happy for a while.
"Okay, you be careful, if there is anything wrong, danger or something, come out in time, or send me a signal, I will find the elders for help."
Qin Meili nodded, and also asked Jin Yuan with some concern.
"Ahem, ahem... Headmaster, when are we ready to go? It's been a wasted morning. ”
Yan Yingyao couldn't stand it anymore, coughed a few times and began to urge, but the nine students next to her looked like they were watching the play.
"I always feel ... Our principal and teacher Jean... It's a lot of relationship. ”
Emperor Xuan Lie crossed his arms around his chest and leaned into Xue Yue's ear and whispered.
"Uh...
Xue Yue gave Emperor Xuanlie a roll of his eyes, he didn't like gossiping about others, and turned around and walked towards Shizome.
"Well, I've got another dog food."
Emperor Xuanlie watched his brother ignore him to find Xiran, and muttered to himself helplessly, but he didn't notice when Yu Chu came to his side.
"Did you just find out? I tell you ... They are ... ”
Yu Chu stabbed Emperor Xuan Lie, and motioned for him to come over with his ear.
"What?!"
I don't know what Yu Chu and Emperor Xuan Lie said, so he shouted out directly with a surprised face, which immediately attracted everyone's dissatisfied eyes.
"Shh
Yu Chu looked at someone who had been staring at him with incredibly big eyes, and hurriedly asked him to keep quiet.
"What you said ... It's true? ”
Emperor Xuan Lie looked at the people around him apologetically, and finally whispered to Yu Chu, who immediately nodded affirmatively, making Emperor Xuan Lie feel that he had heard a major news.
His gaze gradually looked at Principal Jin and Teacher Qin, who were still talking on the side, and then swept his gaze over Teacher Yan, who was expressionless not far away, which really made him a little unbelievable.
I didn't expect the teacher to have a love triangle!
He thought that the love triangle that happened on Xiran was already very bloody, but he didn't expect it... Your own teachers will too...
"Uh, alright, let's go!"
Jin Yuanbao noticed Emperor Xuanlie's strange eyes and felt that something was wrong, so he let go of Qin Meimei's hand and began to beckon everyone to go.
"Good!"
Then, everyone saw Jin Yuanbao take out a golden token from his arms, which was also printed with the logo of the Council of Elders, and then he touched the token to the thick barrier, before everyone could react.
Suddenly, a strange whirlpool-like thing sucked everyone into the secret realm, and only Teacher Qin Meili was left outside, staring blankly at the entrance of the secret realm, praying in her heart that everyone must return safely.
She didn't know why, she looked at everyone who left, and suddenly her heart was a little panicked, and she was a little flustered, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen, but she could only silently pray for all safety.
---------------------------------
Dark
"Childe, should we follow up?"
The little follower looked at the people who had entered the secret realm, and hid in the dark and asked the master beside him.
"No, just taking advantage of the emptiness of the people outside, let's hurry up and let our people act, it's enough to have her alone, we can know what's going on inside at any time."
The people on the side didn't look at the entrance of the secret realm again, but began to fiddle with the silver ring on their hands, and a new round of planning began in their hearts, the corners of their mouths slowly raised, and a glimmer of light flashed in their eyes.
---------------------------------
Uncharted Forest
Everyone felt dizzy for a while, and then it was as if they had arrived in another place, and when they slowly opened their eyes, they were speechless in surprise, and their faces were filled with incredible expressions.
Everyone looked into the distance, and what appeared in front of them was a large green forest like an ocean, connected together.
The trees grow lush and exude a soothing coolness. The sunlight shines like wisps of golden sand, passing through the layers of branches and leaves, and spilling onto the grass.
The meadows are also teeming with a variety of wildflowers, which sometimes emit an alluring fragrance.
In the forest, you can still hear birds flying happily and chirping, accompanied by the murmuring of running water echoing in the breeze for a long time.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, and a breath of fresh air immediately rushed in front of them, as if they were welcoming friends who had been reunited after a long absence.
When you smell it carefully, there is still the fragrance of pine resin in the fresh air, and there is a faint smell of the forest, which is a faint refreshing sweetness.
Listen carefully, and the joyful frolicking sounds of various spirit animals.
Not far away, you can see a few low-level spirit beasts that have appeared by chance and come out to look for food.
They were also playing hide-and-seek and racing in the grass, unaware of the intrusion of outsiders.
The birds in the air are chirping and singing, and the clear stream lies quietly in the embrace of the earth, like a transparent southern thicket.
Schools of fish swam freely in the water, only the big trees stood motionless like soldiers, guarding this land and guarding a pure land in the secret realm.
"It's beautiful, isn't it? Simply ... It's a fairyland! ”
Yu Chu couldn't help but sigh, she was refreshed at this time, and her whole person was a hundred times more energetic, which was much more useful than eating any elixir.
And when she looked at the lush forest in front of her, she always felt that there would be something she wanted in it, and there would be some rare herbs.
Now just looking at the general scenery has already made everyone's eyes light up and their hearts are excited.
"Of course, this is a pure natural forest, and the Council of Elders is afraid of destroying the environment here, and is also afraid that these spirit beasts will come out and hurt people, so they moved it to the secret realm."
Jin Yuanbao looked at the surprised and admiring expressions of the students and explained on the side.
"The Council of Elders has really made a very good decision."
Emperor Xuan Lie nodded, at this time he had a feeling like he was back in his own forest, it seems that there are also good people among human beings who love nature very much and protect their spirit beasts.
"Let's go, let's be careful, this is only the periphery, they are all low-level spirit beasts, seeing that we will not take the initiative to provoke us, today is not too early, just wander around the periphery, and the ancient will arrange tasks and explanations for you."
"Yes!"
---------------------------------
Secretarial Principal's Office
Qin Meili was a little bored and came to the principal's office to help Jin Yuanbao process and sort out some documents, and suddenly the place used by the elders to communicate with the principal flashed a few times, and a letter fell on the table.
Qin Meili thought that the elders had issued another notice, so she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and stepped forward to pick up the letter.
There was no mark on the entire envelope, and there was no sign of the Presbyterian Church, which made Qin Meili even more curious, and hurriedly opened it to see.
Qin Meili was so frightened by the words that she almost didn't stand still, and one hand hurriedly held on to the table to stabilize her figure, she blinked quickly a few times, and then looked at the letter.
There were only a few words on the entire letterhead: 'The barrier is turbulent, and the blood stains the sky and the sea'.
Qin Meili was really scared this time, she repeatedly confirmed that she was not mistaken, these words were still written in what blood, and carefully smelled the paper with a strong smell of blood, but she couldn't smell anything when she left the paper, but there was a faint fragrance.
And strangely, these blood words did not penetrate the back of the paper, as if the blood letters were gently attached to the paper.
Qin Mei repeatedly observed for a long time, but she could not find who wrote this letter, and who used the channel between the Presbyterian Council and the principal to send such a letter.
And the card time is also very accurate, not long after the headmaster and they entered the secret realm, the letter arrived in the headmaster's office.
This time, Kotomi began to analyze and think very calmly, and she speculated that the person who sent the letter must be very aware of their current moves, and it was very likely that someone had already infiltrated them.
This thought made her feel agitated, broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly contacted the Council of Elders to report the matter.
Now the entire Tianhai Academy is very empty, and the more powerful teachers and principals have entered the secret realm with those top students, and the ones who remain are basically incapable, or very weak.
If anyone wants to cause trouble at this time, then I'm afraid that the entire Tianhai Academy may really turn into a sea of blood.
And the enchantment is loose... What kind of enchantment is it?
This sudden mystery makes Qin Mei feel unprecedented pressure, but she will definitely protect her school and her students!
---------------------------------
Uncharted Forest
"It's getting late, let's set up camp here."
Jin Yuanbao saw that the place where they were now was relatively flat and safe.
"Okay."
"Ancient, you can rest on the side, just let the children do these things."
Yan Yingyao saw that Gu Gu still wanted to step forward to help, so she hurriedly stopped him.
Yan Yingyao really didn't expect that he would be able to see the vitality and energy of the ancient, and sure enough, he still loved these.
"Uh-huh, okay. Yingyao, do you also have your own purpose for coming with you this time? ”
Gu Gu looked at Yan Yingyao beside him, he was very surprised that Yan Yingyao would also come, after getting along before, he didn't think that Yan Yingyao would simply come to be his bodyguard and his classmates.
"I really can't hide anything from you. Actually, as you know, I'm really not good at potions, so this time I'm also going to join the kids and learn about it.
Of course, it would be best if I could find a suitable spirit grass, and as you know, I've been stuck in a bottleneck for many years now, and I haven't been able to break through. ”
Yan Yingyao smiled when she heard the ancient words, she did come with a purpose, but it was also to protect the safety of the students and take care of the ancient, if it was only Principal Jin, I am afraid he would not be able to keep busy.
"Yes, it's okay, I'll help you find it, maybe this trip won't be in vain."
Gu nodded, with a serious face, looked at the trees and grass next to him and began to search.
Others not far away began to set up their tents.
"It's really the first time I've experienced being in the forest for a week, and my heart is still pounding, and I can't press it down."
Hatsu said excitedly as he set up their tent with Shiozome.
"I spent a few months in the forest, and it was hard to survive at that time, every day, I just ate these fruits, drank dew and something, and then slept directly on the flat stones."
Shizome wasn't very excited, because she had become accustomed to her previous experience, but now she had food and a tent to sleep in, and she was much better off than before.
"Hey, little dye... I really admire you, you can still survive in that situation, and you have nothing to do in the forest, if you were someone else, I am afraid you would have died a long time ago. Would you like to tell me about what happened next? ”
Yu Chu looked at Xi Ran on the side, as if she was looking at Xiao Ran like a monster, and felt that the things she said were not something that ordinary people could do, but she said it so lightly.
And she was really curious about why the Blood Demon Temple didn't continue to chase and kill Shizome after that, and how Shizoran escaped and how she survived in the forest.
"What else, she must have been rescued, it is estimated that some kind person who went into the forest to hunt saved her."
Zhu Ming'er listened to the conversation between the two on the other side, and couldn't help but interject sarcastically again.
"Actually, there's nothing, that's how it came."
After Shizome finished speaking, he left the tent to do something else, and Xueyue, who was setting up a tent next to him, saw that Shizome looked a little lost, so he also put down his work and followed.
Emperor Xuanlie and the others actually heard the conversation between their girls just now, so Emperor Xuanlie directly cast a reproachful look at Yu Chu this time, and then looked at Shizome worriedly, but did not move.
He knows best in his heart, how Shizoran came over, those days were really the dark days of Shizome's life, he had just lost his only master, who was considered a relative, and later if he hadn't looked down and talked to Shizome, I'm afraid she would have to come out for a longer time.
Or to put it another way, if it weren't for Xiao Jiu and his help, I'm afraid there would be no one like Shizoan now.
"Xiao Ran, na, I've been busy for a while, do you want to drink saliva?"
Xue Yue took a bottle of water and walked to Xiran's side and handed it to her with concern.
"Uh-huh, thank you... I'm fine. ”
"Look, what's the relationship between the two of us, are you still so polite? I know you're fine, I'm just here to talk to you. You say, what kind of spirit animal is suitable for me? ”
