Chapter XXVIII
The white-veined tiger's fierce appearance as if it were facing a great enemy worried Kurt and Vera, and the two brother and sister quickly rushed to either side of it, trying to pull it back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Everyone be careful! Monsters are much more sensitive to danger than humans!" In the face of the unknown danger, the academy assistant's spirit tensed up again, and at the same time stood in front of the students, after all, the already precarious qualification test could no longer have accidents.
Suddenly, with a long roar, the white-striped tiger broke free from the brother and sister and sped away like an arrow from a string into the woods.
"Black!" Vera said urgently, hurriedly chasing forward.
"Come back, don't chase it!" Kurt feared for Vera's safety, and ran into the woods.
"You two, go protect them!" Seeing that the personnel were about to disperse again, an academy assistant who appeared to be a little older immediately ordered the other two.
The two of them were very fast, and after receiving the order, they disappeared from everyone's sight.
The situation changed again, and after three days of continuous fighting, strange things happened one after another in this dark forest, and ordinary people would have been unbearable. The students present were all the best in the fourth round of testing, and they did not panic too much, but cooperated with the academy assistants to complete the defensive deployment with great efficiency.
"What's that?" Bell suddenly pointed not far away, and everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see that some black viscous liquid appeared there and was slowly approaching a tree, and then climbed up the trunk, and the trunk of the tree passed, like paper burned by flames, slowly blackened and curled, and then fell off. Soon, several surrounding trees were also implicated, and they all turned into patches of black gelatinous substance, scattered on the ground.
At this time, not only were the fledgling knight cadets shocked, but even the academy assistants had not seen such a vision. "They're coming from behind!" Dona exclaimed. In an instant, those black slimes had swept in from all directions, surrounding everyone, and the corpse of Amu in the clearing was also swallowed by it, and those originally lush flora were all devastated at this moment, emitting a disgusting smell.
"Who is pretending to be a ghost!" an academy assistant picked up his sword and slashed at it, but when the tip of the sword just touched the slime, it was instantly entwined by it, and the blade quickly turned from red to black, and pieces fell to the ground one by one. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately let go of the hilt of the sword, but he didn't expect the slime to spread faster, and after devouring the complete battle sword, it actually climbed directly onto his arm.
I saw that the muscles on my arm immediately atrophied and rotted, revealing Sensen's white bones, and the white bones immediately turned black. The academy assistant was unusually calm, endured the burning pain, and quickly broke his arm and threw it into the distance.
Two other aides immediately stepped forward and brought him back into the crowd's defenses. And the liquid narrowed the encirclement and approached everyone.
"Don't touch that liquid, attack from a distance!" the academy assistant yelled at the group. Immediately, Dona and other magicians immediately cast magic, while Bell and others also used qigong bullets or sword qi to attack from a distance, and Alice and one of the academy assistants applied defensive magic to everyone.
After the black slime was attacked by everyone, they all bypassed, trying to enter the defensive circle in different directions, but under the command of the academy assistant at the head, everyone's defense was almost perfect, and occasionally some omissions were also made up for by Alice's defensive magic, and the two sides were deadlocked for a while.
The black liquid seemed to be endless, and although it was constantly repulsed, it immediately roared and surged up like a monster, like the waves of the sea, even if they would eventually disappear on the beach, but as long as the sea water existed, they would still go forward and flow.
As time passed, everyone was tired, after all, the Yuan Force was constantly being consumed, and neither Tori nor Fracio appeared at this time.
"Bastard, how can Lao Tzu explain here!" Bono was a little irritable, and a heavy punch with a strong yuan force slammed into a black liquid concentration area, completely scattering it. Soon, however, the liquid scattered around it condensed again and attacked everyone again.
"Idiot, this substance can't be embodied at all, don't waste Yuan Force!" Galle, who had always been calm, couldn't help but roar at this time, and at this time, due to the large consumption of Yuan Force, there was a leak in Alice's defensive circle, and the black slime immediately seized this opportunity and instantly wrapped around Galle's fingers. Unexpectedly, Galle quickly cut off his little finger and retreated backwards, the whole process was quite calm, and he didn't even frown.
The former was suddenly attacked and retreated, leaving only the latter, but the gap had been opened, and a large amount of slime was pouring towards him, so fast that the others had no time to fill the position. Bell had to reluctantly shoot five qigong bullets at the same time, trying to resist this wave of attacks, but unfortunately the opponent was not a human but a liquid, although the five qigong bullets covered a wide area, but in the absence of Alice's defense, there were still a small number of sneaking in from the gap and running towards Bell.
At this critical juncture, all of a sudden, the slime seemed to have encountered something more terrifying, and quickly dispersed and retreated, hovering in front of Bell, even the slime of other defense points, and even stopped attacking for a while, and surrounded the gap in the defense.
Everyone was amazed, and when they looked closely, they saw that Bell's right hand was already stained with some slime, but his arm was not rotten, because the slime evaporated directly like boiling water, and it was the surrounding slime that 'saw' this scene and reacted like this.
"Bell, your right hand!" Gary exclaimed, knowing about his strange right hand, but not expecting to be feared by this strange slime.
"I don't know why, but it must not be a bad thing!" Bell didn't have time to delve into, and he threw his fist directly at the slime, trying to force it back into the woods.
"Hurry up and help Bell!" the academy assistant led by the leader reacted and immediately commanded everyone.
Once again, the group struck in unison, attacking behind Bell, quickly forcing the slime to the edge of the clearing.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, the slime suddenly parted on both sides and circled behind the group, while the middle part avoided Bell's right hand, completely isolating him from the others. It turned out that it had pretended to retreat before, planning to lure Bell away, and such anthropomorphic thinking made people wonder where it was sacred.
The crowd had to gather again to resist, and Bell was completely immobile in front of him, as soon as he took a step towards the crowd, slime was behind him and tried to sneak up.
"If it goes on like this, Yuan Li won't be able to support it for long at all!" The defensive circle released by Alice and the academy assistant was already dim at this time, and the two seemed to be trying their best. And although the rest of the people are not as difficult as them, all the means of attack at the moment are in vain, and at the same time, they must carefully control the release of the Yuan Force to maintain their physical strength, and after a long time, the Yuan Force will be consumed sooner or later, not to mention that the two powerful instructors, Tori and Fracio, do not know when they will return, and everyone is already extremely anxious in their hearts.
When he was at a loss, Garay suddenly shouted to Bell: "If we continue like this, we will all die here, as long as you don't get close to us, you can move freely, go to the castle and find Instructor Torrey!"
But even if they get to the castle, they don't know where they'll go from, not to mention that the previous deduction shows that Sophia is very suspicious, and Tori hasn't been back for a long time to say that something might have happened. Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Bell seemed a little worried about whether they would be able to hold on for such a long time.
"Garay is right, you can't help at all now, it's better to gamble, even if the chances are slim, it's much better than now, maybe you can meet Frasio halfway!" Dona seemed to see Bell's thoughts, so she said, but she was usually weak but her face was firm at the moment.
Garay also waved his big sword and grinned, "Don't worry, stinky boy, Lao Tzu will definitely hold out until you and the instructor come back, we haven't decided the winner yet!"
The two were so enthusiastic that the rest of the students were not far behind, and they asked Bell to go and find Torrey.
"Okay!" Bell no longer hesitated, and immediately turned around and sped towards the black abyss, and the slime that had been surrounding him actually went with him at this time, which relieved some of the defensive pressure on the others.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's use this as a knight's qualification test!" said the academy assistant at the head. Even though they knew that if Bell failed, they would be swallowed by the slime sooner or later, but at this time, everyone did not have much emotional turmoil, and the previous harsh training had already honed these people like steel. Although you usually fight in the academy and have different beliefs, after all, they are all young people, and at this time of life and death, everyone has abandoned all the previous disagreements and united together to resist the evil thing in front of them.
The wind whistled in his ears, and the trees on both sides of him quickly retreated, and Bell shuttled through the dark forest like a meteor, and the slime followed him at the same speed.
"Just follow me, as long as you try to stay away from them...... That's right!" Bell suddenly remembered something, and touched his belt with one hand, "It's good that it's not lost, you can try your luck!" As he gently squeezed the object in his hand, a faint light emitted and disappeared into the darkness in an instant......
