From this round of testing, there may be no more cooperation, and the rest of the journey will rely on the skills and experience that the students have worked hard for many years. The instructors were well aware of the psychology of these young people, and after three days of stormy sailing, their hearts often sprouted bonds of mutual dependence, and what the rule-makers did was to quickly cut them off in order to exercise the minds of the would-be knights.

However, these thirty people are different from ordinary people, and the sudden change in environment has not caused any impact, since the rules are like this, there is no need to be nostalgic for the past, after all, there are twelve people who cannot pass this round of tests. After Tori left, the students stopped talking to each other too much, and after a little preparation, they quickly walked towards the entrance.

After entering the tree cave, everyone's speed slowed down, because the environment inside the cave was as dark as before, and even with strong eyesight, they could only barely see a few meters in front of them. Some magic students tried to use fire magic, but all failed, presumably the giant tree blocked the elements needed for fire magic in order to protect all kinds of plants. However, the darkness may have been used as a cover, and there was no direct harm, and the group walked forward for a short time before walking out of the area.

"It's... When the crowd came out of the darkness, they did not immediately move forward quickly, but were again fascinated by the sight before them.

Inside this huge tree, there is actually a large forest of plants. Hundreds of plants are strangely green and transparent, and each of the veins is clearly visible. The nutrients absorbed by these emerald plants from the earth form bubbles that flow slowly upwards through the stems and veins. Here, the green of the botanical forest seems to have overflowed, and the various insects that inhabit it are also covered in turquoise.

"There are such miracles around the city of Riverville!" Gary exclaimed.

"I can feel the abundant wind elementals!" Dona said excitedly as she closed her eyes, "I should be able to perform mid-level wind magic here!"

"It's no wonder that people from all over the world are rushing here, it's a place of infinite life, and it's indeed a breeding ground for medicinal herbs. Bell said, touching his chin.

"I'm going to have to come and join in this treasure when I get back!" Bono had apparently regained the idea of the Hundred Grass Forest, but it was followed by the disdainful gaze of everyone.

"Don't worry, the Hundred Grass Forest won't run away, but someone has already taken the lead now!" Fred pointed ahead. It turned out that Galle did not seem to feel anything about this scene, and as soon as he got out of the dark area, he walked quickly and alone, leaving everyone far behind.

Everyone immediately focused again and used their skills to catch up.

Suddenly, a thick gray mist began to spread from a distance, slowly devouring every inch of soil and striking at everyone.

"What is this?" Galle, who was at the forefront, paused slightly, and tried to turn and flee, but he couldn't keep up with the speed of the gray mist, and was quickly drowned in it.

"Could it be the water vapor produced by the transpiration of plants?" Amu wondered, and he didn't stop his steps.

"Where is there such a strong water vapor!...... be careful," Bell said mid-sentence, when the gray mist suddenly accelerated, engulfing all the students in an instant.

The thick fog hit, and Bell immediately defended the meta all over his body. After waiting for a long time, he didn't receive any of the expected attacks, and the only damage he received was that he couldn't even see the outstretched hand clearly in this thick fog.

"Garay!Amu!" Bell tried to shout twice, but received no response, and the two men who were still beside him just now seemed to disappear.

The second round of testing was not as simple as Tori described, since he was alone, Bell no longer stayed where he was, he continued to maintain the state of defense with meta, and slowly groped his way forward.

After a long time, the fog showed no sign of abating, and Bell, who had gone for an unknown distance, was still not attacked, except for the occasional encounter with a few trees that stood in his way.

At this point, Bell simply stopped and looked around again. Judging from the diameter of this giant tree, you can walk a few hundred meters at most, and even if you can't see the road clearly, as long as you don't change direction, you should be able to pass quickly. Have I been unconsciously going around in circles? Bell seemed to think of something, and ran forward quickly.

"I'm sorry!" Soon Bell came across a tree in his way again, and this time he didn't choose to get out of the way, but waved a palm to split it.

"Click......click" Just as he was about to split the tree, a faint sound was heard in the distance.

What is the sound? Seeing that I am going to clean it up, this tree is frightened? Bell withdrew his iron fist and looked closer.

The strange sound of "click-click-click......" is getting closer and closer, and the frequency is getting higher and higher.

No, it seems...... It sounded like the ground cracking, oh no!" Bell immediately took a few steps back, holding his breath and staring at the ground that was about to crack.

The sound of the ground cracking came from far and near, getting faster and faster, and just as it was about to reach Bell, the sound stopped abruptly. At this time, Bell was like an arrow on a tight string, ready to shoot at this unknown enemy.

Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet burst open, and the rubble and muck scattered around him like a goddess scattering flowers. Bell reacted quickly, immediately jumped backwards, and the qigong bullet in his hand smashed to the ground.

"Snap" twice, and the qigong bullet seemed to hit the unknown enemy. However, after being shot, Bell looked at it and suddenly his face turned green with fright.

I saw a red behemoth come out of the ground, and the qigong bomb had no effect on it at all.

It was a giant slug, covered in a viscous liquid, and the two tentacles on its head were swaying from side to side towards Bell, as if it were dancing like a mollusk. And those liquids seemed to be its defensive armor, and the two qigong bullets just now did not leave a trace of it.

"Damn, slugs!! what Lao Tzu is most afraid of!!"

Bell screamed and fled, his liver and gallbladder rushing out of his body. He was fully prepared for the battle that would come at any time, but he did not expect to meet the creature he feared the most in his life. The slug shook off the disgusting liquid and chased after Bell, dripping down along the way, leaving a long silver trail.

In fact, the slug originally had nothing to be afraid of, and if it was another student, it would fight with it. But this slug is a monster or some other unknown reason, it is very large, and most importantly, it is a terrible creature that left a shadow on Bell's childhood.

It all started when Bell was a child. In the eastern part of the kingdom of Scania, there is a small fishing village called Perch Village. There were only a hundred or so people in the village, and they were so familiar with each other that their eyebrows greeted each other, and it was very quiet and peaceful, and the occasional loud shout might be that the strong men had caught a big fish, or the virtuous women arguing about who had woven the prettier dress. The changes in the outside world do not seem to affect the village, and the villagers live in a step-by-step manner. Such a paradise is where Bell grew up.

At that time, Bell, with his naturally powerful right hand, became a veritable bear child in the village. There was even a group of smaller bear children who followed him closely, and this "scale" was often a headache for the adults in the village.

Until one day, a warrior who had left Perch Village a long time ago returned to his hometown. The warrior looked like a bear from afar, but up close it was a bear, and it was estimated that two snails were crawling on his waist, and only two shells were left and he had not seen each other. What's even more interesting is that there are two bear-like ears on the round head, so the warrior's name also explains the cute and strange pair of ears - Nilrose the bear.

The bear's parents never returned when he was a child when he went out hunting, and after sitting at the entrance of the village for a whole month, he swore to the village chief that he would go out and explore. Xiong also came back a few times during his travels, and he had already successfully become a knight, and every time he came back, there were new faces around him. Alone this time, Xiong explained to the villagers that he had disbanded the Order for some reason.

A person who has been a knight knows at a glance that he has experienced quite a cruel battle, and this is the case with the bear, but his personality is quite gentle, and he laughs innocently all day long, but when he knows that there is a group of bear children in the village, he will not be merciless to deal with this group of "bullies". After Bell's repeated sneak attacks failed, the bear child bowed down to the bear-sama.

Once, on a whim, the bear was playing with the children, and after Bell punched him a few times, he was shocked that a child who was only a few years old had such a strong strength, and it was a terrible thing not to use it to practice martial arts. So Xiong decided to teach him martial arts, but Bell was not very willing......

"Boy, what's the point of wandering around the village all day long, do you want to be a martial artist?"

"I don't want to!"

"Why don't you want to?

"Are you trying to take the opportunity to teach me a lesson?"

"Hehe, if you're happy with me, I'm not... Burst. Before he finished speaking, Bell punched the bear in the stomach, knocking a piece of meat from the bear's mouth and flying away, just to cheapen the long-waiting puppy Ah Hua.

"I've got a lot of strength, are you satisfied?" Bell shook his fist triumphantly.

"Stinky boy!" the bear rubbed his stomach, and there was a real faint pain. "The strength is good, but there is no skill at all!"

"What happens if you have a skill?"

"If it had been a skillful punch just now, it would have knocked out my intestines!"

“......”

After a long time, Bell still refused to compromise. The bear was really impatient, so he grabbed Bell and walked out of the village.

"Let go, let go of me!!!" Bell was firmly grasped by the bear, and he waved his hands and feet wildly, but he could not break free from the thick bear paws.

"Hmph, if you suffer a little, you will know that you have to respect others!"

The bear grabbed Bell by a small river outside the village, where there were many caves in the soft mud by the river, each dark and deep, and the bear pointed to one of them, "Believe it or not that I threw you in?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of a few holes, some of which I dug myself!" Bell saw that it was just an ordinary cave, and calmed down a little.

"Okay, you let me in and stay!" the words fell, and Bell flew into the hole.

This hole is about three or four meters deep, because it is by the river, the wall of the cave is very slippery, and it is easy to climb up to get in, but it takes a bit of effort. However, Bell is not of this size, but he is uncompromising, "Cut, I can stay for a few days!"

"Hehe, then you can make your home here!" the bear turned and left. But he didn't go far, but sat down not far away.

After a while, "Ahh

It turned out that it was summer, and it was next to the river, and the moist soil gave birth to a large number of strange bugs. In this cave lives a large group of blood slugs, which belong to the demonic beasts of slugs, and their bodies are red. Ordinary slugs are harmless, but blood slugs have an extremely fierce personality, and when they see a big living person, they will stick to it like a leech to suck blood, so their bodies are also red. Bell was thrown into the hole, and the blood slugs crawled out and rushed at Bell as if they had seen a good meal.

"It's disgusting!!" Seeing these soft monsters squirming quickly and crawling up, Bell didn't care about the gradual labor pain, he felt a chill in his heart, his internal organs seemed to be tickling, and his legs softened without obeying.

"I learn, I learn!!"

A rope was lowered, and Bell crawled out with a sad face. From then on, he never dared to fight against the bear again.

However, this incident left a deep shadow on the young Bell, and it is estimated that the bear did not expect that Bell was still afraid of the creature slug. Such a huge slug came out this time, and he didn't faint in fright, but he had already grown a little.

"Something is wrong with this monster, how can it be so fast?"

"Do you want to turn around and give it a fatal blow?"

"No, no, what if you don't kill it, it's disgusting!"

"No, it's being tested now, and if you don't beat it, you won't be able to pass the second round!"

"Forget it, it's a big deal to come back next year!"

"Mom, how could I be so useless, isn't it just a worm!"

Just as Bell hesitated to deliver the fatal blow, the slug was getting closer.

"No, I've worked hard for so long, is this worthy of the bear who left this shadow on me? Is it worthy of the dean who doesn't teach me skills but fights with me on crickets? Is it worthy of the Knight Guild that is about to lose a shining new star? I must overcome the psychological barrier, I ...... I can run faster!"

"Fuck you test, I'm not playing!" Bell thought about it, so afraid of such a disgusting creature, he gave up the test and concentrated his whole body on his legs.

But the reality is always unsatisfactory, and the faster Bell runs, the faster the slug chases, and it doesn't take long for the two sides to meet again.

Suddenly, several plant vines appeared in front of him, and because his vision was very limited in the thick fog, Bell did not notice them at all, and he slammed into them at a wind-like speed, but these vines were so elastic that instead of being torn off, they bounced Bell straight back, and the direction was exactly at the slug's gradually open mouth......

"Ah......!!h
