The next day. Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Chai Ding stood in front of the big forest at the entrance of the academy, carefully examining the students in front of him. The five students lined up in a row and stood in front of Chai Ding energetically.

Ye Hengyuan and Wang He stood on the left, and Ji Chengdong and Fan Junfeng stood on the right. Xue Mengyi stood in the middle of the boys.

All five of them had changed into brand new uniforms and carried marching bags that were just right for their size. The contents of the bag were simple, just the necessary dry food and water, and a simple map. Since everyone is a spirit master, they don't need any weapons or anything like that.

"Are you ready?" Chai Ding asked loudly with a loud voice.

"Ready!" the five cadets replied in unison.

"Okay!" Chai Ding nodded vigorously, "I'll only repeat it one last time, everything is under my command, don't act on your own!"

"Understood!"

Chai Ding opened his hands and began to gather spiritual power. The huge three-legged treasure tripod appeared in mid-air out of thin air and slowly fell. Five maroon spirit circles emerged from his body, each shining with brown light. The three-legged treasure tripod instantly swelled up like an inflatable, its diameter expanded from two meters to ten meters at once, and its height increased from a little more than one meter to nearly four meters. At this time, it is almost like a small fortress.

The five trainees involuntarily stepped back. The spiritual power released by Juding was so oppressive that they all had a little difficulty breathing. It was the power of the pure earth element. Except for Wang He, everyone else felt a little uncomfortable.

"Come up!" Chai Ding waved at the students, jumped up and jumped into the big ding.

"Ah, do you want to drill into the ding?" Ye Hengyuan was stunned for a moment, "Director Chai, what do you want to ...... Fly us with Ding?"

"Nonsense!" Chai Ding's loud voice came out of the ding, causing several echoes, "There are five of you! If you don't bring it like this, how else can you bring it? Come in! Just jump in!"

Fan Junfeng was the fastest, took two steps back, ran up, jumped, and grabbed the edge of the tripod with both hands, and rolled forward and rolled in.

Wang He released the tiger-striped thorn shield, smashed it to the ground, kicked his legs to the ground, and jumped in with the force of recoil.

"Little ...... Xiaomeng, are you okay?" Ye Hengyuan turned his head and asked Xue Mengyi. At this time, he had also released his spiritual circle and began to condense his spiritual power to regulate the air around him.

"I'm fine," Xue Mengyi smiled, releasing her own colorful bright stone, "I'll just float in slowly." ”

"Hey, hey!" Ji Chengdong suddenly got between Ye Hengyuan and Xue Mengyi, "You guys...... I can't fly, I can't jump, I can't ......jump."

"Pull him along," Chai Ding's loud voice came out again, "Classmates and comrades-in-arms should help each other." ”

"Brother Hengyuan," Xue Mengyi said, "You hold his left hand, I hold his right hand, and then the two of us work together to lift him up, okay?"

"Hmm...... Good. Ye Hengyuan nodded and agreed very reluctantly. He has been more introverted since he was a child and rarely takes the initiative to deal with people. For a person with Ji Chengdong's character, he really doesn't have a good impression at all. What's more, Ji Chengdong's attitude towards him last night was not very good. Emotionally, he was reluctant to help Ji Chengdong.

"Thank you, thank you!" Ji Chengdong nodded while taking the initiative to reach out and grab Xue Mengyi's hand and Ye Hengyuan's wrist.

Ye Hengyuan frowned, but he didn't say anything, just urged the spiritual power in his body. Circles of air appeared around his and Ji Chengdong's bodies at the same time, slowly lifting Ji Chengdong's body off the ground.

Then, a golden light also flew out of Xue Mengyi's hand and flew to Ji Chengdong's feet, supporting his body. The two worked together and slowly sent Ji Chengdong to the sky above Juding.

"Whoosh-" Ye Hengyuan suddenly withdrew his hand and withdrew the spiritual power around Ji Chengdong. Ji Chengdong fell down suddenly, almost fell, and was helped by Wang He to stand firmly.

Immediately after, Ye Hengyuan and Xue Mengyi jumped high at the same time and fell into the giant tripod lightly. Ye Hengyuan's body was surrounded by pale green air currents one after another, and Xue Mengyi's waist was wrapped with seven layers of golden yellow apertures.

"Let's go!" Chai Ding glared at Ye Hengyuan again, but didn't say anything, just stretched out his big slap and slapped it hard at the pattern on Ding's body, and shouted.

"Hum-whoosh-"

The giant dome spun in place, spinning faster and faster, leaving the ground and rising into the air. In just a few seconds, it had risen two thousand meters into the air. Then, it stopped its rotation and flew northwest like a meteor.

Ye Hengyuan grabbed the edge of the ding with his right hand and looked at the ground below. Countless buildings have been reduced to the size of a lunch box, not just a matchbox, as when Qiu Bai took him on the fly. After all, Chai Ding is an earth-attribute spirit master, not a wind-attribute spirit general like Qiu Bai, and although the speed of this full flight is still quite fast, it is nothing to him.

Xue Mengyi leaned against the Ding Wall, sat down slowly, and released spiritual power to stabilize his body. In the process of lift-off, Chai Ding increased the diameter of Juding by another five meters. At this time, the space in the tripod could completely allow all five of them to lie down.

"Wow-" Ji Chengdong squatted down on the spot, holding his head in his hands, "This is too fast, isn't ......it?"

"Cowardice. Fan Junfeng gave him a blank look, folded his arms in front of his chest, shook his hair, which was almost as long as Xue Mengyi, and put on a pose that he thought was cool.

"Don't you coward?" Ji Chengdong raised his head and rolled his eyes, "You can really pretend." ”

"Everyone, everyone," Wang He took out the map from his marching bag and placed it among the crowd, "Shouldn't we discuss tactics?" Didn't the director say that most of the operations this time will be arranged by ourselves. ”

Ye Hengyuan turned his head and glanced at Chai Ding's back. Chai Ding didn't seem to hear their words, and he didn't look back, but just advanced with the martial spirit. He then took a few steps forward and sat down on Wang He's left hand side. Xue Mengyi also moved forward and sat next to Ye Hengyuan.

"I thought about it last night," Wang He said, "The number of spirit beasts in the Misty Forest is not particularly large, and there is also a lack of relatively powerful existences. The Misty Forest is in the middle of the valley and has only one entrance, which is divided into the outer, middle, and inner layers. If we want to carry out this internship hunting mission, we should not need to enter the inner layer, which means that the strongest enemy we face will not exceed the third order level two or the third order level three. ”

"That's not necessarily," Ye Hengyuan said, "brown marten are only found in the middle layer, and the number is very rare. What's more, in the middle layer, the concentration of the fog will be further enhanced. Among them, there may be ghost martens mixed with brown martens to sneak up on us. ”

"Hey?" Ji Chengdong also moved over, "Is this a forest or a cave?

"Didn't you listen well in class?" Fan Junfeng didn't lean over, but leaned on Ding with his eyes closed, "The instructor has said that the Misty Forest is sandwiched in the middle of the valley of the Psychedelic Mountain, and it itself is also located on a large downhill slope, and the deepest part leads to the Psychedelic Cave. Every 500 meters inside, the fog gets thicker. ”

"Oh, too...... Hey!" Ji Chengdong raised his head, "What are you doing, leaning on there and sleeping, like an uncle?"

"No problem, leave it to me," Xue Mengyi smiled, "Ghost martens are dark attributes, and my light attribute is just enough to restrain them." Also, I can take care of the lighting for everyone. ”

"Okay!" Ji Chengdong immediately waved his fist, "Sister, I'll cover you when the time comes!"

"No," Ye Hengyuan shook his head, "Xiaomeng, I think you're thinking too simply. ”

"Huh?" Everyone turned their eyes to Ye Hengyuan. When Fan Junfeng heard this, he also opened his eyes, walked over, and sat on Ye Hengyuan's right.

"Ye Hengyuan, what do you mean by this?" Ji Chengdong frowned, "What do you mean by too simple?"

Ye Hengyuan raised his head and looked straight at Ji Chengdong. Ji Chengdong was furious when he saw it, and immediately took two steps back.

"I mean, it's not just about the elements. Light can indeed overcome darkness, but that is when light is relatively strong. If the darkness is stronger, wouldn't it be the other way around? The ghost martens mixed in the brown marten group will definitely have more than a third-order existence. When the time comes, with our current strength, can we guarantee that we will be able to restrain it?"

Ji Chengdong stopped squeaking, and shrunk his neck and scratched his head. Fan Junfeng nodded thoughtfully.

"I have a few suggestions," Ye Hengyuan stretched out a finger and pointed to the map, "First point, we try not to act alone as much as possible, and it is best to maintain the formation of the team at all times." Because no one can be sure when the spirit animal will appear. As for the formation, I think it's best for me and Xiaomeng to take turns to open the way ahead. The light of my wind and my little dreams can illuminate a path in the mist, but neither of them lasts, because our cultivation is not enough. ”

"The second point is the cooperation in terms of combat. In the outer and middle layers of the Misty Forest, the number of ferocious spirit beasts is relatively limited, and only when they reach the inner layer can this number increase. The targets we came to hunt this time were only silver-toothed wolves and brown minks, so we had to avoid fighting other kinds of spirit animals as much as possible. The silver-toothed wolf and the brown-haired marten are both group-dwelling earth-attribute spirit beasts, so we must be prepared for group battles. ”

"The silver-toothed wolf is an active attacking spirit beast, and will take the initiative to attack what they consider to be threatening beings. They are in the second and third levels, and a population is only about twenty to thirty individuals. Aside from the attack power of their teeth and front claws, they don't have any particularly powerful moves. But if we face a single population of silver-toothed wolves, we must not fight hard. Their explosive power is not something that our current strength can contend with. The brown marten, on the other hand, has much weaker attack power, but is faster, as long as it prevents them from escaping and attracting stronger enemies. ”

Ji Chengdong and Fan Junfeng nodded at the same time. Xue Mengyi turned her head and looked at Ye Hengyuan, her face full of admiration
