In the dark woods, the white morning light faintly penetrates through the gaps in the trees.
The trees were all pitch black. The luminous mushrooms at the foot of the trees were extinguished by the weak morning light.
Tree trunks, grass, leaves, everything is black.
Angelet rode his horse and walked forward slowly. He could only see darkness up and down, left and right, and he could only move forward slowly with the help of the reluctant morning light.
There was silence in the woods, no birds or insects. Only the clear sound of horses' hooves and snorting.
"This is probably the darkest time of the day in the woods." Angelet whispered to himself, "Even at night, there are luminous mushrooms that illuminate it, making it much brighter than now."
He was riding on a black horse, with a cross sword hanging from his waist, and his body was swaying forward with the horse. The dim morning light shone in from his side, and it was actually faintly glowing with blue.
The cold and humid air kept hitting his face, mixed with the smell of grass and mold.
Angele narrowed his eyes slightly and looked ahead at the road carefully, while constantly adjusting the direction of the horse's progress with the reins in his hand.
After coming out of Emma City, Angele had been driving for a whole day. With two bottles of Asu Water, he didn't dare to delay on the way. If something unexpected happened, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for him now.
It was impossible to afford it. It was impossible for him to find two more Aso Waters.
Angelet took a direct route out of Emma City. When he arrived, he used a chip to record the entire route, and automatically simulated the shortest route through the map information in the chip.
And now, he is taking this shortest route.
According to his calculations, after two hours of walking after dawn, he should be able to reach the outer city of the college safely. Taking this route, he can completely get rid of some greedy people who followed Princess Dilanya, and at the same time, he can get there as quickly as possible
Return to the academy. Although Tutor Liliana looks scary, and I heard that she sometimes eats living people, she is extremely protective of her students.
Mentors in the wizarding world have always been very lenient to their potential apprentices. Because once they are successfully promoted, these former students will be scattered around, forming an extremely large network of relationships. Such network influence
It is so powerful that it can make any family stunned. It can be said that once a powerful wizard decides to start recruiting disciples, it is equivalent to the beginning of a powerful force.
The formal students of each wizard mentor will use the mentor as a bond and gather for class reunions every once in a while to form a strong alliance with each other. This kind of relationship network is called an academy.
As one of the most powerful wizards in Ram's college, Liliana's reputation has always been loud and clear in the rival college Northland Alliance. Once she becomes her official student, the network she will gain will naturally not be as powerful as usual.
.
Therefore, this is also an opportunity for Angelet. Once he successfully advances, he will be recognized by this unknown group. But before that, with his second-level qualification, two Yasu Waters are not enough.
Angelet planned to get his share of Yasu Water after returning to the academy. After the instructor accepted him as a formal student, he could get his share of Yasu Water. Three thirds of Yasu Water should increase his chances.
Then, as a formal student, you need to purchase the materials for refining the nightmare potion. As long as you succeed, your chances of promotion will definitely increase a lot.
Ta-ta-ta-ta...
The crisp sound of horse hooves, mixed with the scraping of fallen leaves on the ground, echoed in the quiet woods.
Angelet rode on the horse, and after advancing a little distance, he suddenly grabbed the reins and stopped.
"We've reached the distance again, we have to explore again." He murmured, standing upright on the horse.
"Number Zero, turn on active fuzzy sensing."
"Active blur induction is on. Scanning radius: Perception distance limit - 32.1 meters. Dangerous objects within this range are automatically marked in red." The chip automatically feedbacks. This radius is drawn based on Angelet's sensory limit. If it is at high
location, then with a wide field of view, this radius will be much larger. Under different environments, Angelet's sensory sensing range will naturally be different.
Angelet closed his eyes and opened them suddenly. A faint blue light flashed through his black eyes.
hiss...
A layer of light blue lit up in Angelet's field of vision for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal vision color.
A red cross mark appeared in the center of his field of vision. The mark was pointed at anything in his field of vision. A large amount of data flashed out of the corner of his eye.
Angelet glanced to the left.
A red cross mark rests on the trunk of a large black tree.
A series of data suddenly appeared on the edge of the wrinkled black bark.
‘Adult black bark tree, estimated age: 132 years. Risk level: none.’
The rest is information such as hardness, humidity, material usage, and suitable growth environment.
Angelet looked away, pulling on the reins and looking around, his eyes widened. From time to time there were dots of blue light.
After a while, a hint of relief appeared on Angelet's face.
"We're almost at the academy. It seems there won't be any danger." This thought just crossed his mind.
Suddenly, in the field of vision, the chip cross mark suddenly started flashing.
The relief on Angelet's face suddenly froze. He looked carefully in the direction of the mark.
To the left of the woods, on the dark forest meadow.
A black thing was lying on the ground, and there seemed to be many black lines waving around it. It was as big as a buffalo.
There were no screams, only slight gurgles and clapping sounds. It was like a child laughing and clapping happily.
"It's better to go around..."
Angelet pulled the reins and walked a few steps in the other direction. The horse underneath him suddenly stopped and began to snort in panic. Angelet stopped moving no matter whether he moved forward or backward. He stayed in the same place.
Spin.
"Damn it!" Angelet cursed in a low voice, got off his horse, and tied the horse to a tree trunk on the side.
"The other party begins to approach the subject. Relevant distances: 102 meters, 100 meters, 98 meters, 96 meters..." The chip automatically starts counting.
Angelet immediately knew that he should have been discovered.
He originally didn't want to cause trouble, so he just went around it. After all, he was carrying important resources with him now. However, the horse was temporarily frightened and needed time to relax. And he was discovered by the opponent again.
He scoffed and gently pulled out the cross sword. Angele tiptoed in that direction.
As the distance got closer and the morning light became brighter and brighter, Angelet gradually saw clearly what this black shadow was.
"It's like a ball of black cactus, except that the thorns are replaced by movable arms." This was Angelet's first impression when he saw this thing.
The dark shadows gradually became clearer in the light.
This is a ball-shaped creature covered with black arms. There are about seventy or eighty arms on its body. They are densely packed and have black skin. Each arm has a dark red eye in the palm of its hand.
Angelet's approach seemed to make it a little excited. This monster composed of a large number of arms, with a flick of the brush, the eyes on all the palms were aimed at Angelet.
"His ha... cluck... cluck..." A strange sound came from the middle of the arm.
"The Hundred-Eyed Monster... It's the Hundred-Eyed Monster!!" The information recognized by the chip suddenly appeared in the field of vision in Angelet's eyes.
'Hundred-eyed monster: a high-energy medium-sized creature. Strength 5, agility 3, constitution 21. Mentality 5. Ability unknown. There is very little information available, please keep a safe distance.' The analysis data of the chip was immediately fed back. The entire hundred-eyed monster was immediately
A layer of red light appeared on the surface, which was the danger color mark displayed by No. 0.
Angelet blinked and turned off the red light. He held the cross sword tightly with both hands and remained vigilant.
He has also heard of the Hundred-Eyed Monster. It is said to be a very powerful evil creature. It likes to devour living creatures whole. It is very powerful when it reaches adulthood, but the one in front of him looks obviously underage. You must know that it is an adult.
The latter hundred-eyed monster weighs more than ten tons, and is larger than the phosphorescent giant elephant. As for its combat power, you have to fight it to know.
"Cack-clack...clack!!" The hundred-eyed monster waved its arms again, seeming to be saying something to Angelet.
The distance between Angelet and it was only more than ten meters, but he couldn't understand its language at all, so he could only observe its movements from the spot.
This buffalo-sized monster with hundreds of eyes said a few words, but received no answer and seemed a little angry.
"Gurgling!!" It made a sharp sound, and with a crash, the whole group rushed towards Angele. Dozens of arms were waving, and they all hugged Angele. The densely packed dark red eyes in the palms opened.
In the blink of an eye, they were grabbed from all directions.
Angelet's scalp was slightly numb and his body quickly retreated.
Bang!!
Dozens of arms grabbed hard on the big tree behind Angele. With a click, the big tree was directly broken by it. With a crash, the big tree was picked up by the monster with a large number of leaves and branches.
call!!
The tree trunk was waved and swept towards Angele.
The Hundred-Eyed Monster also followed the inertia of the swing and pounced directly. Its huge body and large number of arms almost covered all of Angele's escape routes, like a ball of black jelly pressing over him.
hiss....
There was a clear sound of tearing cloth.
Angelet quickly jumped out from dozens of arms and landed on the grass a few meters away. His face was calm, and the silver tip of the cross sword in his hand was stained with a little dark red blood.
Several broken arms fell to the ground, their fingers curled and moved slightly, and the red eyes in their palms blinked from time to time.
The hundred-eyed monster rushed over again angrily, sweeping the tree trunk in its hand and making a sharp whistling sound.
Angelet easily took a few steps back, avoiding the swing range of the tree trunk.
"Itasman...thunder!!" He shouted lowly and pressed the cross sword with one hand.
With a hiss, a blue current crackled and spread from the held sword. It quickly flowed through the entire long sword.
The originally silver cross sword suddenly turned into a blue lightsaber filled with electricity. Thick electric filaments continued to twine and flash around the sword, making a harsh hissing sound.
Angele took advantage of the gap where the hundred-eyed monster waved the tree trunk, and rushed forward with his whole body bent.
