Click.

Russell pressed the shutter button on his phone.

Clara lifted the tentacle wrapped around the colored crystal and pointed it in the direction of the Flame Giant, which emitted a brilliant rainbow of light.

An invisible spiritual impact hit the Flame Giant across a distance of more than twenty meters.

Spiritualism!

Spiritual whipping!

Affected by two mind and soul level spells at the same time, the flame giant's brain seemed to be pierced by sharp spikes, and his eyes suddenly became hollow and blurred, and even blood flowed out of the corners of his eyes.

At the same time as Russell held up his phone, a white-haired girl and a pale humanoid phantom sketched out beside him at the same time.

The wind chimes flew straight towards the flame giant, who had been affected by the psychic spell and was briefly stunned, and pushed out with his slender right hand.

His right hand, which glowed with an ice-blue glow, touched the Flame Giant, and the ice-blue light spread rapidly across the giant's massive body.

A chill filled the surrounding clearing in an instant, and even the trees and bushes appeared with a few white ice crystals.

Ghost Touch!

The Sanddemon lunged on the flame giant, grabbing out the pale claws.

Spectral Claws!

Bang bang.

The strange summoned beast that Subway had summoned in advance and hovered in the air spat out a series of sharp gravel like a machine gun from its mouth, and the yellow sand fell on the body and shadow of the flame giant.

Innuendo!

Bang bang.

Subway pulls out a pre-drawn Gatling machine gun from his dimensional belt bag and uses a real machine gun to attack the Flame Giant.

The double damage from body and soul exceeded the tolerance threshold of the high school student, and after Clara made up for another mental whipping, the giant fell to the ground with a bang.

Rumble.

The giant fell to the ground, kicking up vast expanses of dust, squashing strange trees and shrubs, and causing the entire earth to tremble like an earthquake.

As the third-year Transfiguration and Transformation student lost consciousness, the Flame Giant's body shrank abruptly and returned to its original human form.

The wooden alchemy puppets, who were close to the strength of the second grade, rushed towards the unconscious master on the ground.

Russell took a step forward and stopped in front of the group of puppets.

The handsome young man lifted his chin slightly, still unsmiling, his eyes churning with emerald green fire.

Just by seeing the emerald flames in Russell's eyes, the three wooden golems stopped moving at the same time.

Because they've all been turned into gray-white stone statues!

Subway and Clara, who had learned about Russell's abilities in advance, deliberately avoided looking into Russell's eyes at this time, so as not to be affected by the petrified gaze.

"This ability is average for the strong, but it's quite useful for a group of low-level enemies."

Russell ended the possession of the skull sculptor, took the skull-like spirit back into the mobile device, and turned his head to look at the unconscious man on the ground:

"It was probably the early or middle of the third grade, but I didn't expect us to solve a third grade powerhouse in less than 10 seconds." Russell sighed.

Russell was sure that it would be easy to defeat an enemy of this level with his own strength alone, but he would definitely not end the battle in an instant like this.

Subway and Clara, two half-step third-year teammates with a certain ability to challenge each other, contributed a lot.

"Sure enough, we cooperate with each other to deal with a hunter and play as if it were a game, even against the hunters of multiple high courts!"

Subway said proudly as he walked up to the man and searched for three sapphires from the man's pocket:

"That's a lot! It seems that this guy relied on his transformation spell to turn into trees, rocks, and rabbits, and fought many ambushes.

"It's been a reward. So we have four sapphire loot! ”

As for the Transfiguration and Transformation Hunter who turned back into a human form, he was also petrified by Russell and put into the dimensional pocket.

With a successful example of fishing anti-hunting, the trio gained a lot of confidence and continued fishing.

According to the information that Russell had learned before, there were only a dozen hunters in the High Court, and now two of them have been planted in their hands.

Over the next two or three hours, the trio successfully conducted two more reverse hunts.

The target of one time was the senior sister of the Department of Civil Engineering. She wanted to build a hidden stronghold in this clearing, and was attacked by Russell and the other three.

The target of the other time was a senior in the Department of Astrology and Numerology. Relying on his prophetic ability, he learned that "there are hunting opportunities and big fish in this clearing", and found Russell and the other three under the big tree, but he didn't know that he was the big fish being hunted.

After these two hunts, the number of trophy sapphires reached 9, which means that about 1/3 of the sapphires in the forest hunt were gathered in the hands of Russell, Subway, and Clara.

The three of them divided the stolen goods equally, and with the one sapphire that each contestant would have carried, the three of them now each had four sapphires, worth 40 college gold coins.

"Russell, you have contributed the most in these battles, should you share a little more?" Clara asked softly, holding up a small tentacle holding a bag of gems.

"There's no need. It's a big deal to wait until you grow into a truly powerful old ruler in the future, and take care of it a little more. Russell shrugged.

Subway and Clara, who were familiar with Russell's physique, immediately understood the purpose of Russell's words.

He used his own anomaly to deliberately interfere with the flow of fate and achieve a certain degree of observance.

……

At 3:30 p.m., there was still an hour and a half left before the end of the forest hunt.

The three hunters made their way through layers of bushes and weeds and approached the clearing where Russell and the others were.

There are two men and a woman, both of whom are members of the Stars Spell Research Society.

"This year's colleges and universities are in the assessment, and the performance of our Qunxing Spell Research Society is no worse than last year." The boy with red hair, sharp eyebrows, and a strange charm and temperament all over his body said.

The silver and white badge on his chest indicates that he is a third-year memetic scientist in the Department of Mind and Illusion.

Now the trio already have 7 sapphires on hand, which means that they have successfully hunted 7 junior contestants.

"Another gratifying news is that the new spells developed by several research societies and in the experimental stage have been put into practical use in this actual combat assessment." The boy with pale blonde hair, glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a pedantic temperament said:

"There is still more than an hour before the game is over. Most of the contestants have been eliminated, and there is less and less prey left. ”

The badge on the chest of the eyed boy shows that he is a third-year student in the Department of Astrology and Numerology, and the corresponding core course of the major is called "Fortune Theory".

The contestants who were successfully hunted basically thought they had been eliminated and contacted the teacher to leave the dense forest early.

Although theoretically speaking, as long as you retrieve a sapphire from the hunters of the High Court before the end of the hunting match, you can still clear the level. But the odds of success were so slim that the contestants who were robbed of their sapphires had no hope at all.

"I'm trying to use divination to locate the location of the surviving prey, alas, there are few prey left, and it's not easy to find it at all." The man with glasses sighed again as he spoke.

"Wait, are the first three prey?"

The third member of the group of hunters, a girl dressed in black Gothic dress and holding a black umbrella, suddenly stopped and pointed straight ahead.

I saw a red-haired youth, a boy with glasses, a girl with a black umbrella, and a white-haired girl with wind chimes in front of four people, under the giant tree, two teenagers and a large group of tentacle monsters were getting together, looking at their mobile phones.
