The sun was setting, and at the foot of the mountain were lit up with spar lamps and torches for lighting.

Thanks to the limited lighting range set up by the academy, the two quietly left without attracting anyone's attention.

If you stand in the light and look at the dark, you can't see anything.

Compared with the bright track, the mountain road in the dark here is almost smeared, but both of them have excellent night vision, so this smeared mountain road is nothing.

"Do you feel anything?"

"Yes. ”

"Oh. Su Wen replied and continued walking.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, so that Ellie, who was following her, didn't pay attention for a while, and bumped into Su Wen's back, and sighed.

"What you just said was, yes?"

"......" Ellie's dissatisfaction, which had already reached her lips, suddenly turned into silence.

"What do you feel?"

"That, Yumi. Ellie pointed in a certain direction, "I feel her breath." ”

Yumi?

Why is she on this hill too......? Is it really a monster to appear? This possibility should be very high, after all, Yumi's sensitivity to monsters is much higher than Ellie's.

"Far away?"

"There's a point, halfway up the mountain. ”

Judging from the position, Yumi obviously went up earlier than the two of them, bypassing the guards of the staff, it should not be a difficult thing for her, right? Or is she the staff of this competition?

Su Wen analyzed several possibilities, but in the end, he decided to take a look at Yumi's situation first.

With the movement to a minimum, Su Wen quickly climbed towards the mountain. Even if the race has not yet started, there is still a staff presence on the track, and the action is naturally a little more low-key.

Climbing a mountain is not a difficult task for both of them, and with the physique of the two of them, there is no difference between climbing a mountain and walking.

Halfway through Ellie's guidance, Su Wen also sensed Yumi's breath, so the speed was also raised a little.

As she approached Yumi again, Ellie suddenly shouted softly to be careful.

At the same time as Ellie shouted, Su Wen sensed a purple magic energy flying knife and shot it from above.

Why did you attack all of a sudden?

Su Wen stretched out his hand to protect Ellie behind him, and then gently leaned to the side, dodging Yumi's flying knife. In the next moment, Su Wen saw a movement coming from the tall bushes, and an object, shuttling between the bushes, told him to approach.

"Yumi!

By the time the words fell, Yumi, wearing arm guards, had already emerged from the bushes, and the expression on his face suddenly changed from solemn to surprised.

Because of the haste to retract the attack, Yumi lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground and roll down the mountain, but in his desperation, he still threw out two chains, and with this pull, he stabilized his body again, and landed in the bushes next to the two.

"How are you?"

"What are you doing here......" Looking at Yumi's embarrassed appearance covered with dead branches and leaves, Su Wen couldn't help but ask.

"That...... Uh......" Then, after Yumi reacted to the monster aura just now, it was Ellie, and suddenly fell into the embarrassment of doing something wrong, and explained with some embarrassment: "No...... I'm sorry...... I...... That ......"

I laid the groundwork for a long time, but I didn't express my meaning clearly.

However, Su Wen and Ellie probably understood what Yumi's situation was, and they didn't let her continue to bother, but asked, "What are you doing on the mountain? It's also because of the rumors that it's haunted?"

Yumi nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, at noon and night, I heard the students discussing this matter, so I came over to take a look while it was dark...... I'm afraid it's like last time......"

"What's the catch?"

“...... No. ”

Yumi was excited to find the "monster", but she didn't expect it to be Ellie, and it seems that she still needs to improve her posture level of recognizing breath!

"I've searched all the hills near the track, and there is no such anomaly. Yumi continued, "So, I'm thinking...... Could it really be just a rumor this time......"

As he spoke, the sound of the starting pistol sounded at the bottom of the mountain, and the students in sportswear had already taken their own steps and rushed to the top of the mountain.

Because of the large number of people, the number and width of the track have also been adjusted accordingly, and almost the entire hillside has become a track.

There are cordons on both sides of the track to indicate the range, and there are lighting spar lights, but Su Wen noticed that in the track, there are still large areas that cannot be illuminated.

In addition to the obscuration of trees, the terrain and the range of lighting are also responsible for the existence of these large dark areas.

After Su Wen looked at the other side of the track, Yumi and Ellie also noticed this situation almost at the same time, and the two glanced at each other, and the three of them actually had the same idea.

Will the visions in the rumors exist in the track?

Is it the feeling of joining a test of courage in a competition? No, no...... It can't be, two big things have happened in quick succession, and Edgar shouldn't have the heart to engage in all these bells and whistles.

"Ellie, go and have a look. ”

"What about you?"

"Do you look like a student?"

"That'...... Where's Yumi?"

"Huh??"

"yes, Yumi should go too. ”

"Huh, this ......"

Yumi was suddenly a little embarrassed, after all, she was now wearing a straitjacket suitable for action, and such an outfit would look quite strange among the sportswear of these competitors. But it is not for nothing that those who come to climb the mountain in tights......

For the shy Yumi, it's nothing short of a shame PLAY.

"Maybe there's a monster hiding in the track. Su Wen added.

"But ......"

"If something happens......"

"I'm going!!"

Although Su Wen reminded her, Yumi still seemed to have taken on the idealized "duty of a demon hunter", and unilaterally believed that the safety of the academy needed to be guarded by her. Su Wen's two sentences really allowed Yumi to cross the obstacle in his heart.

So Su Wen watched the two slip into the track side by side, and he found a big tree, slipped up the branch, and watched the situation in the distance.

The two waited outside the track, bypassed the two crew members, and came to the middle of the track. At this time, no one had climbed to such a height, so the two avoided the eyes of the staff and began to sense the aura of the dark place.

Under the sky, which had begun to become pitch black, Su Wen really saw some traces of discordant magic existence.

"It's this guy......"

Su Wen smiled dumbly, it seems that this rumor is not a very serious security issue, but a small trick made by Andy's guy for unknown reasons.
