Chapter Seventy-One: The Shadow of the Beast in the Forest
All the people with abilities must learn some theoretical knowledge and introductory courses of abilities when they are in elementary and middle school; light physical training; some outlook on life, values; There are also the habits of demon beasts.
They won't learn everything, they will only learn about the habits of the group of demon beasts that are causing chaos on the eastern continent, as well as the habits of those common demon beasts.
The results of these courses, together with the preliminary assessment of abilities at the end of high school, are the basis for the initial grouping of each person who is about to enter the barracks, and the subsequent grouping is based on the ability, and by the way, refer to the results of the previous grouping.
Among them, the listening lessons of various animal songs also account for a large proportion. The only things they can usually see are domestic animals and various pets that have not mutated into demon beasts, and the rest of the beast chirping can only be learned in class, and listening to this pleasant sound is a beautiful thing in middle school.
That is to say, Ye Ning, Yang Ling, Zhou Chen, and Ma Jiao are the four of them, and their basic theoretical knowledge is quite excellent, so they can't hear the birdsong at all on weekdays, and they were quickly identified by Ye Ning and Yang Ling, and the two quickly stood up and looked around vigilantly.
The two turned around, looked at each other, tacitly agreed, and said in unison: "You heard it too?" ”
The two realized that it was not an auditory hallucination, but a real beast chirping. I have never heard the sound of birds, and I have been told that this sound is a signal of danger since I was a child, and no matter how pleasant the sound is, Ye Ning and Yang Ling break out in a cold sweat.
The two quickly woke up the other five people, they quickly left to sleep, and said concisely what had just happened, Ma Jiao was a little eager to try, Zhou Chen, Wang Shuwei frowned, Dong Qi just hugged Wang Shuwei's arm, and his face was worried.
Zhang Yutong's face was worried, the application was panicked, and he stammered and hurriedly asked, "What did you say...... Is it true? Really, really, there really is a monster screaming? ”
The chameleon was lying on the branch, as an A-class ability, he could already understand the words of humans, and after hearing the conversation of several people, it was also very puzzled: "I also want to know, which kind beast has ruined my plan, it stands to reason that I am not the only one in this forest!" ”
Under the tree, everyone vigilantly gathered in a circle, staring at the surroundings, as soon as there was any wind and grass, they all thought that there were demon beasts shaking their bodies, appearing from the darkness at any time, pounce on them, and they all had the feeling that the grass and trees were soldiers.
After about ten seconds, there was no movement next, and Zhou Chen's tone was calm, as if to calm everyone's tense nerves: "Maybe it's just playing an audio to test our reaction speed?" ”
"How can I have a ......" Ye Ning's voice was very low, revealing uneasy emotions.
"Shut up, crow's mouth!" Yang Ling's voice was not loud, and he was slightly angry, directly interrupting the reading process of Ye Ning's crow's mouth.
Suddenly, the sound of frightened birds in the forest sounded again, rapid and sharp, ringing in everyone's hearts, with the rustling of leaves sounding in the south, everyone quickly faced the north, put on a fighting posture, their eyes were firmly fixed on the woods, Zhang Yutong's legs were still trembling slightly.
"Wang Shuwei, shine a light and see what is doing tricks." Yang Ling quickly and hurriedly gave the order.
Wang Shuwei's hands gathered, and a halo directly merged into a ball of light in his hands, the white light was brighter than the fire at the moment, and the ball of light shot out a white pillar of light towards the southern forest, quickly piercing into the darkness.
Whiteness is the light that pierces the darkness in the depths of the forest, and wherever the light goes, the trees shed their black coats and shine brightly again. At the end of the light, an owl could be seen standing on the branch.
The owl's eyes were hollow, and he didn't flicker, but just stared this way. Wang Shuwei also saw that there was a bird on the branch, and he moved his hands slightly, and the beam of light swept across the owl's face and shone on the owl's face.
As if stimulated, the owl spread its wings, leaking out his brown disc-shaped wings, which looked scattered with fine spots, dense and fluffy. It lifted its large, broad head slightly upwards and opened its short, curled mouth with its aperi end, emitting a "coo-wah" cry.
The owl flapped its wings, its talons off the branches, flailed its wings swiftly, leaped into the canopy, and under the cover of the dense foliage, it hid its form.
Wang Shuwei pointed the light at the thick leaves on the canopy, which trembled slightly and made a rustling sound. Suddenly, the leaves were broken by a powerful attack, and they fell from the tree to the ground, and there was a round hole in the leaves.
A few ice crystals followed the light towards Ye Ning and them, and they were extremely dazzling under the refraction of the light, and the refracted light shot out to all sides with the rotation of the ice crystals, quickly coming towards them.
Due to the restraint of Ye Ning's ability, he took a step forward in the face of this ice pick, and his hands quickly condensed a flame, forming a defensive barrier to resist this ice pick.
Time was short, and this flame barrier only condensed a thin layer, and the ice pick pierced the membrane on the periphery of the flame barrier, stabbing towards the inside of the flame, and when it was about to reach the palms of Ye Ning's hands, it finally dispersed.
Ye Ning withdrew his hands and said with no danger: "It's a hard stubble, it must be an A-level ability." ”
"Pretending to be a ghost!" Ma Jiao walked forward quickly, walking in front of Ye Ning, the thunder in his hands converged, his face was not afraid, and his tone was slightly angry: "Go and kill him after reading it!" ”
Ye Ning grabbed Ma Jiao's hand, pulled him back, and said in a calm tone: "Ma Jiao, don't be impulsive, listen to the call, it should be an owl, the owl has good night vision, the enemy is in the dark, it is very inappropriate for you to go so rashly." ”
"And as far as I can guess, there are two scenarios at the moment."
"Or, this is a demon beast that the instructors borrowed from the research institute, and after putting some protective measures on it, it will be released to test us."
"Or, it's a real demon beast, and if it can come here, it means that the instructors who were in charge of our graduate school entrance examination tonight have been killed by it."
After listening to what Ye Ning said, Ma Jiao was not impulsive, and took two steps back vigilantly, Zhou Chen's face was calm, and his tone was still unwavering, and he said slowly:
"Both cases, it is possible, the reasons are firm, but there are also unreasonable places, if it is a demon beast that tests us, why did it stop, if the instructor was killed, we didn't hear the cry for help. Also, what about the birdsong at the beginning? ”
Zhou Chen also said some truth, although he didn't understand what the current situation was, everyone was staring nervously at the treetops in the south, and they all had abilities in their hands to face emergencies.
In the treetops, the leaves shake, and the owl calls "coo-wah" are heard again. This time, as soon as the cry fell, the previous birdsong sounded again, echoing in the forest, and a gust of evening wind blew, and the leaves rustled, and for a moment it was impossible to tell what the reason was.
Zhang Yutong hid behind a few of them, and the timidity in her bones made her still hide behind unconsciously, although she was a little stronger psychologically, she still couldn't hide her subconscious impulse.
Zhang Yutong was frightened, but there were Ye Ning and a few of them in front of her, and she subconsciously looked to see if there was any danger on both sides and behind her. When she looked to the west, she saw that behind the red of the fire, there was a touch of crimson.
A huge fireball slowly condensed, giving the surrounding trees a beautiful red makeup. Zhang Yutong hurriedly rubbed his hands on the ground, and the vines grew forward, staggering to the left of everyone to form a wall of vines, and shouted in panic: "Right! ”
As soon as the shouts fell, the fireball was already roaring towards everyone, slowly moving forward at a moderate speed, and a dark shadow flashed behind it, but no one noticed it.
Where the fireball passed, on the ground, the small puddles left after the rain were evaporated a little by the heat, and the puddles that had been pumped out of the branches and leaves of the trees before, after the fireballs passed, the water surface also dropped a little.
Yang Ling's hands were entwined with water, he jumped high, sent out two water jets in his hands, rushed towards the fireball, and after quickly landing on the ground, he sprayed the water in his hands onto the vine wall, attaching a layer of water protection film to it.
After the water column washed away, the fire weakened a little, but it still pounced on the vine wall, and under the joint defense of Yang Ling and Zhang Yutong, the vines still turned into ashes and dispersed, and the red high temperature also dissipated.
Everyone looked to the right, and a vicious wolf was half-open, and its yellow-gray body hair was scattered with red flames. The wolf closed his mouth, and the flames on his body dimmed, and in the darkness, he jumped backwards and hid in the woods.
Seeing this situation, everyone gasped, Yang Ling touched the sweat on his forehead, and said with a little worry: "Fire attribute, wolf, if nothing else, it is also A-level." ”
After hearing Yang Ling's words, he had just witnessed the ice pick and fireball, and the chameleon on the tree also frowned, completely unclear what the situation was in front of him, and the questions in his heart kept coming to his heart:
"Brother Pig said, this is the training site for D-B level recruits at this time of year, and the assessment is all carried out in secret, let me secretly poison and assassinate their living force in the cradle."
"But, obviously only one was sent, I'm an A-level, secretly poisoning and destroying this group of low-level abilities, the risk is low and it's easy to escape, as a chameleon, my camouflage ability is completely enough, I'm completely enough. But what's going on right now? ”
"Didn't they listen to the command? Not acting as scheduled? It seems impossible, we have absolute respect and trust for Brother Pig, only people of its strength are worthy of leading us, and no creature should dare to disobey it. ”
At this time, the chameleon came to a conclusion in his mind that was completely in line with this situation: "Then this group of creatures that are funny now should be the creatures of the association!" ”
