Chapter 379: The First Trial

"This guy didn't mean to fix us, did he?" Gordon looked at the thin young man's back and pouted, not to mention what the reason for the duel was, it would be a little too naΓ―ve to retaliate in this way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Let's go in and have a look. Dio smiled wryly, though it was not clear if, as the skinny young man had said, new students had to live in such an environment, and there was no choice at the moment, at least shelter from the elements, which was much better than sleeping outside.
Fortunately, there was a lot of space in the cave, and a few oil lamps were lit on the walls, and everyone saw that several small rooms had been opened up inside, and in each room there was a bed made of planks and stones, and a layer of straw was laid on it.
Sophia's girls were relieved, although everyone ate and lived together when they were in the wild before, but it was wild after all, and a relatively small space like a stone cave was different, and if it was like that, it would inevitably look a little embarrassing.
It seems that the cave was inhabited not so long ago, the ground was cleaned, and there was no musty smell of the usual caves, and although there were no other furnishings except for a few broken beds, it was generally reasonable and not unbearable.
Originally, according to everyone's assumptions, since it was an academy, there should always be a restaurant or something, but now it seems that there is no hope, of course, there may be, but that guy deliberately didn't tell them.
However, Dio and his party have even broken through the dark swamp, where would they care about this little problem, since the academy does not supply, they can do it themselves.
The group left the stone cave and walked towards the depths of the mountain forest, as for what the thin young man said, it was dangerous both day and night, and everyone didn't pay attention to it, who to scare? Since this is a place where new students live, even if there are demon beasts, their strength must be very limited, otherwise the song of death is not training students, but murder.
The facts are the same as everyone predicted, the first demon beast they saw was a stupid and stupid Taal sheep, this kind of sheep belongs to low-level demon beasts, with sharp horns to attack the enemy, the sense of territory is very strong, once a human stepped into their sphere of influence, they will immediately attack, no matter what is in front of them, they will crash headlong.
For low-level warriors, the threat of Taal sheep is still quite great, because they are extremely good at running in the mountains and forests, they are very fast, and once the curved sharp horns pierce the human body, they will cause tearing wounds that are difficult to heal, even if they are just stabbed in the thigh, they may cause you to lose blood and die.
"This is a Taal sheep, isn't it? I heard that this guy's meat is hard to eat. Seeing the Taal sheep rushing over with red eyes and a low head, the Dio didn't even move, but were there to discuss the value of this thing.
"Then you're wrong, after the special treatment, the taste is still very good. β
"Special treatment, no kidding, do you think this is Santis City? What does this smell like...... It smells terrible. Isabel covered her nose and raised her hand to release a freeze that froze the Taal sheep into an ice sculpture.
But the speed of the Taal sheep is really fast, Isabel failed to freeze it with the ground, and as a result, the Taal sheep that turned into ice still did not stop the momentum, deviated from the direction and crashed into a big tree, boom, the ice wrapped around the Taal sheep was smashed to pieces, and the strong anti-shock force also shook the Taal sheep to bleed, and the neck bone was twisted and drooped down, obviously unable to live, and the air was filled with a strong fishy smell.
"It's cruel, since it's not going to be eaten, why are you killing it?" Raymond made a look of unbearability.
"It's good that it crashed and killed itself. Isabel rolled her eyes.
Gordon suddenly remembered something, and said with some uncertainty: "I remember that the Taal sheep seem to be social animals......"
Before the words fell, a dense cry was heard from the depths of the mountain forest, followed by the rumbling of running, and everyone could feel that the ground began to tremble slightly.
In fact, what Dio and his party don't know is that this kind of Taal sheep is one of the projects used by the Song of Death Academy to assess new students, although it is not very difficult to kill a Taal sheep, but as Gordon said, this is a social animal, to successfully kill a Taal sheep, and then retreat safely, this is the focus of the assessment.
Individual strength is difficult to do, and usually the song of death will divide the new students into small groups, or form teams on their own, as long as they bring back the corpse of the Tal sheep within the specified time limit, even if the task is completed. Unlike Dio and others, the team that usually participated in this assessment was fully prepared, such as the evacuation route and the setting of obstacles, etc., and then waited for the opportunity to find the lone Taal sheep, and left immediately after success.
"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier?" Although I haven't seen a flock of sheep yet, judging by the sound, there are at least a hundred.
"I just remembered...... Gordon scratched his head, "What's the big deal, isn't it just a flock of sheep, and it's not a tiger." β
But soon, Gordon found out that he was wrong, a Taal sheep was indeed nothing, but a flock, just visually, caused a strong impact on everyone, the sheep jumped agile in the forest, the black and shiny horns on their heads flashed with a penetrating cold light, like a gray-white tide, and rushed towards everyone violently.
Something was done this time...... Everyone is a little helpless in their hearts, it's really a disaster, just killed one, and a group rushed out in a blink of an eye, the problem is that the meat of these guys is not delicious, even if they are all killed, what's the point?
But the sheep obviously didn't think so, as long as the creatures that stepped on this ground were all their enemies, and every Taal sheep had red eyes, as if they had met an enemy who did not share the sky, and rushed desperately.
Xue Ni leaned down, pressed her hands on the ground, and a layer of white frozen air instantly covered the ground within a radius of more than ten meters, as long as it was a Taal sheep that rushed into the area covered by the frozen air, all of them became sluggish, and then thick ice crystals condensed on their bodies, and then transformed into huge ice cubes, unable to move anymore.
In this case, Xueni is the most suitable to make a move, and if she changes to Gordon, it is likely to cause a forest fire.
The momentum of the flock charge was immediately contained, but this was only temporary, the leaping ability of the Taal sheep was quite outstanding, the dozens that rushed to the front turned into ice sculptures, and the back jumped several times in succession, stepping on the body of their companions and rushing straight over.
Without waiting for Laura to give instructions, the catboy swooped out like lightning and met the first Taal sheep that rushed through the freezing blockade, perhaps because of the lack of wisdom of the low-level demon beasts, even the terrifying existence of the two-headed python showed enough vigilance against the catboy, but this Taal sheep did not feel the horror of the catboy at all, just like they usually deal with intruders, lowered their heads, and aimed their long horns at the catboy.
The catboy spread its wings, and flew up violently when it was about to collide together, and at the same time threw out a long tail vertebrae, which stabbed into the blood-red eyes of the Taal sheep with great accuracy, and the blood splattered, and the sharp bone tip came out of the brain, and then the catboy shook the long tail, threw the corpse of the Taal sheep away, and roared at the sheep like a demonstration.
Not to be outdone, the roaring beast rushed out, raised its hooves high, and stepped heavily on the ground, two high-temperature fire wires shot out, and the two Taal sheep that jumped into the air bore the brunt, and they were instantly scorched to the ground, wailing and falling to the ground.
There are more and more sheep breaking through the blockade, and seeing that the freezing air has gradually lost its effect, the surname Xuenisuo released a half-human thick ice wall in front of him, anyway, these Taal sheep are stupid, they can't even turn a corner to attack them, they just blindly bow their heads and rush, and they will not be able to break through this ice wall for a while.
In front of the ice wall, the catboy and the roaring beast are very happy, the speed of the Taal sheep can not be compared with the catboy at all, and these guys have no intention of dodging, this is no different from the target for the catboy, every time the tail vertebrae is thrown out, a Taal sheep will be killed, and in the blink of an eye, the Taal sheep that died in the hands of the catboy are close to dozens.
The horns on the head of the roaring beast are much longer than the horns of the tal sheep, and they take advantage of this violent collision, not to mention that the skin of the roaring beast is rough and thick, even if it is occasionally hit, it leaves a few light white marks on its body.
Dio stood idly behind the ice wall, watching the catboy and the howler beast fight for them, and discussing which one had the stronger combat power, in terms of numbers, the cat boy still had the advantage, but the roaring beast was not bad, with kicks on the head and fire, it was simply a large killing machine.
The movement on the side of Dio and the others was too loud, and shadowy figures appeared one after another on the nearby mountain bags.
"Looks like someone is being besieged by the Taal sheep. A young man dressed in gray cloth came out of the stone cave, looked at it from a distance, and muttered to himself: "The noise is so big, the casualties are estimated to be not small, these people are really careless." β
"Price, what the hell are you doing here?" A neutral voice came from the stone cave: "Didn't we all come here at this time, we just came to the meeting, and no one came to help us." β
The gray-clothed young man named Price smiled: "Baudelaire, you can't think like that, what others do is their business, and we, and they are two different people. β
"I'm not going anyway. The voice of the stone cave seemed a little unhappy: "I've been tired all day, is it good to have this time to rest for a while, even the guy who can't even pass the Taal sheep, even if you help them this time, what about next time?"
