Russell, Subway, and Clara walked through the woods, passing through the leaves and shrubs, breaking away the branches that stood in their way, making a rustling sound.

Three translucent phantoms also followed Russell and the others, and the Sanddemon was responsible for leading the head sculptor, lest this guy with his eyes closed would get lost while flying.

It was already afternoon, and the sun's rays were falling through the dense forest, passing through the lush foliage, and casting scattered golden flickers on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hours had passed, and they had not encountered any hunters from the High Academy, and the dense forest was quiet and terrifying.

As Subway walked, he looked around, his eyes glancing over the weeds and moss:

"I wonder how many hunters from the High Court came? Where are you hiding? Why can't you see any of them? ”

"You seem to be eager to meet the Hunter." Russell commented lightly, "This is not a good thing, we are not here to fight." ”

"With your strength, do you still have to worry about whether you can clear the customs? What should be considered is how to clear the customs to be more handsome! Subway retorted, "What's more, with your turbulent physique, can you still hide all the time?" ”

Russell thought about it for a moment and felt that what Subway said was not unreasonable.

Other candidates can hide until the end of the exam, and it is too difficult for him to avoid contradictions and conflicts all the time.

After a slight change of thought, Russell analyzed:

"Actually, since there is no limit to the number of people who can clear the customs, theoretically, it is possible to let all the candidates gather together to resist the attacks of the hunters.

"But this plan is also very risky, if everyone gets together, it is easy for the hunters to find out and become the target of the hunters' collective attack.

"Although we don't know the specific number of hunters yet, the total combat power is likely to exceed that of the candidates, and the candidates are not of the same mind to each other, so they may not cooperate well......"

Speaking of which, Russell put forward his own opinion:

"Is there a partnership with each other about the quantity and quality of hunters, and where they are lurking, and will we be rewarded for hunting, will we be desperate enough in battle? We still know very little.

"The three of us teamed up and caught a third-year hunter, it should be easy. If we encounter a hunter later, we'll try to capture him and see what we can get out of his mouth. ”

Hearing Russell's plan, Subway was also eager to try it and immediately agreed.

"Yes, I'll try to help." Clara agrees to the plan.

Suddenly, the three of them heard a loud noise from the depths of the jungle in the distance.

A series of crackling explosions rang out one after another, accompanied by the chanting of obscure spells and the whoosh of spells being cast, and it was clear that there was a fierce battle going on ahead.

Some candidates have already met the hunter!

"Let's go check it out." Subway's tone was filled with excitement.

Russell and Subway hurried forward, cutting through the shrubs and branches to approach a clearing in front of them.

Clara, who has too many tentacles and walks a little slower, is close behind.

……

"I said, you two contestants, why don't you just give me the sapphire.

"It is estimated that you are also considered to be the top talents in the Primary Academy, but compared to those of us who are geniuses in the Higher Academy, it is still too far and too far behind.

"You don't think that two people together can stop me, do you?"

I saw a handsome man with blond hair in his pockets, smiling and posing in a relaxed posture, confronting the two contestants in front of him as he spoke.

On the silver badge on his chest, a sun sign that radiates light is carved, indicating that the blonde hunter is a third-year student of the Elements and Energy Department.

And the two contestants, one of whom is a black-haired and blue-eyed boy who Russell doesn't know, has soft and delicate facial features, judging from the bronze badge on his chest, he should be a student of the Department of Astrology and Numerology.

The 4 star light balls revolved around the boy, which was the "Seven Star Shelter" that the old man had used, and it was obvious that 3 stars had been consumed in the battle just now.

The other is a girl with purple hair and sharp eyes, Violet, whose necklace as a magic weapon is emitting a faint fluorescence.

In contrast to the blonde hunter's ease, both contestants had considerable injuries, blood soaking their clothes, sweat staining their shirts, and gasping for air.

This level of injury is not particularly serious for a half-step third-year transcendent, but it is definitely uncomfortable.

The blonde hunter stretched out his left hand and stepped forward step by step, still trying to persuade the two contestants in front of him:

"Instead of being beaten and bruised, it's better to hand over those two sapphires now."

Despite the particularly relaxed performance, the blonde hunter knows that this is a psychological tactic!

Although his strength is far better than the two half-step third-year contestants, if the two fight hard, he will definitely have a certain amount of consumption.

And there is a very small probability of taking care of one or the other, so that one of them can take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Instead of this, it is better to let the two opponents take the initiative to hand over the loot, so that he can save his strength as much as possible and hunt more targets!

Of course, the blonde hunter is also confident enough in his own prowess that he can still easily defeat both of them if the two injured prey resist with all their might.

The blonde hunter has been in the academy for five or six years, and his strength is not comparable to that of those who have just entered the third year.

The core course of the third year of the Department of Elements and Energy is "Radiance".

Before entering the Academy, the Blonde Hunter had mastered the elemental energies of Fire, Cold, Wind, and Lightning, and after reaching the third year, he had mastered several light-related spells—

This includes the powerful and wide-area attack spell "Blazing Sun"; a "radiant aura" that dispels the undead and demons; forcibly dispel the "True Light" of invisibility and illusion, also known as the "Manifestation Light"; "Brightening" used to replace light bulbs, and so on.

And the two injured opponents in front of him, one is the astrological and numerology department who is not very good at long-term battles, and the other is a girl of the same major whose ability is comprehensively suppressed by herself, and she can't pose a threat to herself at all.

The blonde hunter's thoughts fluctuated, and he smiled, and walked forward.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw two teenagers hiding in the woods on the side to observe the battle situation-

Russell and Subway.

The bronze badge that the two of them wore on their chests as required interprets their prey identity!

Two more prey!

Are they quietly watching the situation here, but don't realize they've been discovered?

The blonde hunter was overjoyed.

He deliberately controlled his gaze and expression, pretending not to notice Russell and Subway, and accelerated towards Violet and another astrological and numerology boy.

As soon as the two injured prey in front of him surrendered, he could immediately turn around and hunt two new prey!
