The morning passed quickly.

At noon, after eating the delicious wine and food served by the staff of Dragon and Phoenix Academy, Duan Lingtian left the courtyard.

"Zhizhi~~"

On Duan Lingtian's shoulder, a chubby little golden mouse lay there with a round belly.

Soon, the inner hall students walked out of the courtyard one after another.

In the central square of Dragon Phoenix College, ten inner hall students and a group of outer hall students gathered together again.

"Set off!"

Vice-dean ‘Chi Ming’ personally led the team and left Dragon Phoenix College with a group of Dragon Phoenix College students.

Heifeng Ridge is located not far to the east of the Imperial City.

It only took an hour for a group of Dragon and Phoenix Academy students, running like the wind, to arrive around Black Wind Ridge.

"In Black Wind Ridge, you'd better do what you can... If you encounter an invincible horse thief and face a situation of frequent death, someone will come to rescue you! Those who are rescued will be regarded as a mission failure and will be awarded points.

Clear."

Chi Ming said solemnly.

This is also the final rule he announced.

Points cleared?

A group of Dragon and Phoenix Academy students couldn't help but have a cold war.

"Okay, let's split up now!"

Following Chi Ming's loud shout, a group of students from Dragon and Phoenix College swarmed towards Black Wind Ridge.

Among these people, there are lone rangers and many small teams.

Duan Lingtian followed everyone and entered the Black Wind Ridge.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Duan Lingtian could clearly find out.

After a group of Dragon and Phoenix Academy students entered Black Wind Ridge, a group of warriors with cultivation levels above the 'Peeping into the Void Realm' followed them one after another.

These Void Realm warriors are obviously the ones responsible for recording results and protecting a group of students from Dragon Phoenix Academy.

"The background of the royal family of the Qinglin Empire is astonishing...all of these Void Realm warriors add up, at least there are nearly a hundred of them, right?"

Duan Lingtian couldn't help but click his tongue.

Although, most of these warriors in the Void Realm are only at the first, second and third level of the Void Realm.

But the sheer number is still surprising.

After entering Black Wind Ridge, a group of students from Dragon and Phoenix Academy separated.

Not long after, Duan Lingtian went deep into Black Wind Ridge alone.

At this time, Duan Lingtian could find that there was only one person left behind.

Moreover, this person Duan Lingtian is no stranger.

It is the vice president of Dragon Phoenix College, ‘Chi Ming’!

"I didn't expect that I would be so proud...Vice President Chi would actually record my results for me personally."

Duan Lingtian was a little flattered.

Of course, he knew it in his heart.

The reason why Chi Ming followed him was not only to record his results, but also to protect him.

After all, the talent and strength he has shown now should have received the attention of the royal family of the Qinglin Empire...

As for Chi Ming, before he participated in the 'battle of geniuses', it was impossible to let anything happen to him.

If not, Chi Ming would not have sent someone to protect him secretly when he left Dragon Phoenix College.

The wind and the remaining clouds!

Duan Lingtian's figure moved, moving at full speed, and shot into the depths of Black Wind Ridge in an instant.

Not long after, Duan Lingtian discovered a small lake.

"There is actually a lake in this Black Wind Ridge?"

Duan Lingtian was a little surprised.

As Duan Lingtian rose into the air, he looked down at the large area beneath his feet, only to find that there was no other lake in the nearby area except the one he discovered.

"Those horse thieves are hiding in the Black Wind Ridge. They must replenish their food."

Duan Lingtian's heart moved, "Water is a necessity for them!"

Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian swooped down and hid behind a huge rock behind the lake.

Just wait and see!

This is Duan Lingtian's current plan.

"Zhizhi~~"

The little golden mouse saw Duan Lingtian leaning on the rock and resting, and couldn't help but curious Yuanli asked: "Brother Lingtian, why are you hiding here?"

"Xiao Jin, I'm waiting for those horse thieves to come."

Duan Lingtian smiled.

"Waiting for the horse thief to come?"

The little golden mouse was a little puzzled, his blue eyes full of confusion, "Brother Lingtian, if you don't go looking for those horse thieves... will those horse thieves come to your door?"

Duan Lingtian smiled and said: "Xiao Jin, Black Wind Ridge occupies a vast area. Even if I search everywhere, it will take at least a month or two to completely search... Moreover, those horse thieves are very cunning and may not stay in one place all the time.

place."

"And this place... as long as there are horse thieves hiding in this area, they will definitely come."

Duan Lingtian finished speaking in one breath.

"Why?"

The little golden mouse still didn't understand, "Brother Lingtian, why are you so sure they will come?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

Duan Lingtian smiled mysteriously and hid behind the rocks, watching the movement around the small lake not far away.

Time passes quietly.

In the evening, the sky is filled with red clouds, making the entire Heifeng Ridge seem like a "sea of ​​fire".

"Zhizhi~~"

The little golden mouse lay on Duan Lingtian's shoulder, drowsy, and asked impatiently: "Brother Lingtian, how long do you have to wait?"

"You little guy...are here!"

Before Duan Lingtian had time to talk to the little golden mouse, he noticed movement ahead.

After a moment, three tough middle-aged men walked out of the jungle nearby and arrived near the small lake.

"Damn it! I'm so thirsty."

A middle-aged man stood in front of the lake, reached out to scoop up water and poured it into his mouth.

The other two people also took out kettles to get water.

"The same goes for 'Nine Masters'... Brothers are dying of thirst in broad daylight, and they won't let us come out to fetch water. They won't let us out until late in the evening, when it's almost dark."

Another middle-aged man complained.

"Okay, stop complaining... The Ninth Master is doing this because he is worried that the royal family of the Qinglin Empire will send someone here. Only by being careful can our brothers live longer."

The last middle-aged man said.

"Hurry and get the water ready, we will evacuate!"

Soon, the three middle-aged men got water and prepared to leave.

"Zhizhi~~"

The little golden mouse whispered in Duan Lingtian's ear.

"Brother Lingtian, do you want them to leave?"

The little golden mouse asked with concentrated voice.

"Um."

Duan Lingtian nodded and followed him lightly.

These three people are all just ninth-level warriors of the Nascent Soul Realm. If he wanted to kill them, he could kill them all in the blink of an eye.
