After having lunch, Cyril did not hurry, but rested for a while by the stream.
He wondered why he hadn't seen the others.
Could it be that the freshmen are separated, and each one enters a separate secret realm? That's a waste of secrets, isn't it
In the evening, Cyril baked round eggs for dinner.
He carefully peeled off the top half of the egg shell, and took out a white, tender and cooked bird egg the size of two fists.
The taste is quite good, the egg white is soft and tender, and the egg yolk is fragrant, which can be called a "delicious" compliment.
Later, Cyril cooked a fragrant mushroom soup with a considerable volume of hard eggshells.
Of course, he didn't forget to add "colorful peppers."
When eating grilled fish before, Cyril meticulously took note of the taste of each color of peppercorns.
This time, he managed to get a creamy mushroom soup with just a few white peppercorns in the soup.
When Cyril finished his dinner, the splendid afterglow of the sunset completely disappeared from the sky.
The deep night swept in, and the forest became more fantastic and mysterious under the gloomy moonlight.
Cyril didn't plan to risk the night walk in the forest.
So, he found a huge tree hole, briefly cleaned the tree hole under the light of the night flint, and moved some weeds to the hole of the tree hole as a cover.
I dealt with the past hastily on the first night.
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
Cyril walked in the direction of the system navigation, thinking about where to make his breakfast.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear the voice of someone talking, and he hurriedly walked in that direction.
Cyril opened a bush, and saw a man and a bird in a passionate confrontation not far away.
Each other's big eyes met small eyes, and the eyes did not blink, and the scene was very tense.
The man was a tall, neckless lad, wearing a wide black cloak.
Cyril recognized at a glance that this cloak was the "protective cloak" that was popular in the grocery store.
Judging from its color, this piece on his body is probably an advanced protective cloak worth 550 Wu Jing - at present, it is obviously powerless against physical attacks.
The bird was covered in red feathers, with a slender and curved neck and a sharp beak.
The bright red sharp beak looks like it can pierce its prey in an instant.
The red bird is now dumbfounded for some reason, as if he is struggling with where to start.
Cyril caught a glimpse of the fat guy's forehead with beads of sweat, as well as the familiar white bracelet on his hand.
He instantly realized that this person was also a freshman who participated in the wizard apprentice grading trial!
So, Cyril immediately took out his wand and planned to help him.
His white fingers held the dark and quiet wand, and with a flick of a wave, a beam of bright fire instantly shot out from the tip of the wand and flew straight towards the big red bird.
The red bird keenly sensed the danger from the other direction, and fluttered its wings to dodge the fireball shot from the tip of Cyril's wand.
Unexpectedly, the fat guy's eyes lit up at this time, he responded quickly, moved boldly and very creatively.
It's too late, it's too soon.
He immediately stretched out his hand, bowed left and right, grabbed the red bird's neck with one hand, and tightly wrapped the sharp beak with the other hand, making it impossible for the red bird to open its mouth, and then—he sat on the red bird's body. !
A set of actions is smooth and unpredictable.
Cyril watched helplessly as the red bird twitched and rolled his eyes under his ass.
Sure enough, in the face of weight, any fighting skills are floating clouds!
Cyril patted his hands in praise, stunned.
The Red Bird was helpless in the face of the huge tonnage of the opponent.
He was strangled by the neck of fate again, and his life was hanging by a thread.
The strength of its wings flapping is getting smaller and smaller, and finally it rolled its eyes and stopped moving at all.
The fat guy just stood up, walked to Cyril, and sincerely thanked Cyril.
He was so tall that Cyril had to look up at him.
"Hey, thanks a lot, man!"
He showed a simple and honest smile, his eyes curved into two arcs.
"I'm Robert Pearson! I'm from the mainland of Illus, just call me Robert! I was brought to Whalefall Island by the wizard of the Black Swamp Wizarding Academy. No accident, I should go to this place. A wizarding academy."
He said, scratching his head.
Robert had short brown curly hair, which was very fluffy and stretched freely around the top of his head, which was very striking.
"Hello, Robert! I'm Cyril Lawrence, from the continent of Atlantis. I'm probably going to Snowberg Wizarding Academy."
Cyril nodded to him and introduced himself as well.
"I just came out of the illusion today."
Robert breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of the terrifying environment before, he shivered.
When Cyril heard his words, he was also interested, and his eyes were full of anticipation, waiting for the other party's next sentence.
Seeing that the friend he just met was very curious about his fantasy, Robert swallowed and continued: "My fantasy is a terrifying ghost world, full of eerie ghosts with terrifying shapes! I can only hit the air with a punch."
He paused, wiped his face, and continued: "What's worse is that there is no food in that ghost world!! I've been hungry for four days!! Merlin! I'm glad I'm still alive! I feel like I'm still hungry and thin. A lap. I'm hungry enough to eat a cow now!"
Hearing this, Cyril opened his eyes again, and he looked at Robert's tall and sturdy body.
Gee, so scary.
This is what Robert looks like after losing a lot of weight. I don't know how majestic and majestic he was before.
However, when it comes to food.
Cyril glanced at the red bird at Robert's feet. It was full of meat, so it couldn't be wasted.
[System, can this bird eat it? ]
He quietly communicated with the system in his mind.
【sure! 】
The system instantly gave the information of the red bird:
[Name: Firewing Bird
Use: edible
How to use: fry, fry, paste, cook, fry, leaven are all good
Description: Fire-winged bird is good at attacking the opponent's neck with its sharp beak. For every neck bitten off in this forest, not a single flamingo is innocent!
However, this fire-winged bird with a brilliant record in the first half of its life has just encountered the waterloo of the bird's body! It never imagined that it would not be able to hold the other party's neck - that's because the other party didn't have a neck at all! At that moment, Firewing Bird's brain was blank, unable to move under the impact of the fact that the opponent had no neck. 】 Cyril twitched his forehead.
This terrible truth he really did not expect at all.
"This fire-winged bird is edible. I just have some seasonings here. Let's eat it together."
Cyril looked at Robert and sincerely invited him to cook together.
Later, Cyril discovered that Robert was a real chef.
The action of the other party handling the food is not as cumbersome as his body looks at all, but unexpectedly neat.
Moreover, Robert also adopted a new cooking method - even wrapped in mud and grilled flamingo.
Cyril is looking forward to this approach.
While waiting for the food to cook, the two continued to chat.
"You seem to have arrived a lot earlier than me! Was your illusion before that terrible?"
Robert also asked curiously.
"Maybe it's okay? I'm in a tower, trying to get out of the tower... In this forest I came to yesterday morning."
Cyril said vaguely.
"Are there any other people in your fantasy? I mean, living people other than ghosts? Or ghosts who act and speak like real people?"
Cyril asked unintentionally.
"No, there are only some ghosts that make all kinds of strange roaring noises... I wonder if they were in the first stage of fantasy to consider our ability to survive alone and stay awake in the face of fear."
Perhaps meeting a freshman who could use fireball gave him courage, and Robert explained his fantasy in more detail, and at the same time used a branch to fiddle with the huge mud block in the fire, and analyzed it like this.
"in this way… "
Cyril still had some doubts in his heart. What happened to the "Scott" who could talk and change emotions like a real living person in his tower fantasy
Then the living snake essence disease is not like a simple ghost or ghost without thinking logic...
"I estimate that when more people come out of the illusion and enter the forest, the forest will become dangerous."
Robert was not a man of limbs and a simple mind, and he was quick to base his judgment on the information Cyril had given him about elemental concentrations and forests.
"We have to go to the place with higher element concentration as soon as possible and enter the core of the circle."
Robert concluded.
However, it is still necessary to cook well.
Robert picked out the mud block in the flame and peeled it carefully, revealing the fragrant and tender fire-winged bird simmering inside.
He very thoughtfully gave Cyril the two large bird legs and wings.
The roasted flamingo with colorful peppers was firm and tender, and Cyril felt full after eating the two large bird legs.
He hiccupped happily.
After confirming to Cyril that he was indeed full and not eating, Robert swallowed the rest of the meat into his belly, with the same neat and familiar movements.
Cyril looked at Robert's stomach like a bottomless pit with awe, and felt that he had mastered the success code to grow taller and stronger - dry rice!
They finished their breakfast soon and continued on their way.
Robert is a good partner, not only has a good cooking skills, but also has great courage and finesse.
He is willing to trust Cyril, who wears a black and white mask and can't see his true face, and is willing to follow the direction given by Cyril, and walk in the front and take the lead.
They traveled all the way without encountering other new students.
Cyril and Robert successfully walked out of this forest two days later and came to an endless prairie.
Cyril looked at the white bracelet on his wrist, and now a number - "2" appeared on it.
"2" should refer to the second layer of the Rift's circle structure.
Now they have entered a new layer that is closer to the core of the Rift.
[The element concentration here is one level higher than that of the forest, which means that there will be more aura and more dangerous creatures. ] The system reminded.
Cyril nodded, clutching his wand tightly in his hand.
He immediately expressed this opinion to Robert, and at the same time raised his wrist, motioning him to look at his white bracelet.
"No wonder I feel that my spiritual power is more active after entering the grassland."
Robert suddenly realized that the white bracelet on his wrist also displayed the number "2".
He closed his eyes and felt the surrounding elements.
"The element concentration here is indeed very high, much higher than the element concentration in the previous forest! Cyril, it's really yours!"
Robert grinned and praised.
"Now please let me do my part too!"
After Robert finished speaking, he took out a very inconspicuous, dusty little cloth bag from the pocket of his cloak.
However, Cyril was sharp-eyed and realized that this small cloth bag was the retractable storage bag he had seen in the grocery store before, and it cost a full 880 Wu Jing.
Robert continued to take out two little red-crowned yellow chickens that Cyril was very familiar with from the retractable storage bag, put one of them into his protective cloak pocket, and held the other in his hand.
Then, he motioned for Cyril to hold this rough toy-like little yellow chicken with him.
"It's not easy to hide in this prairie. When we see the danger, we will hold this screaming chicken together, which has a certain attacking effect."
Robert introduced briefly.
Cyril glanced at the screaming chicken with 80 Wu Jing in his hand, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask: "Robert, I mean, use the words of the screaming chicken now, if there is any danger later, It's hard to do... I guess the more you go to places with high elemental concentrations, the more dangerous it is."
"No problem! No problem!"
Robert smiled shyly, scratched his head again, and said a little embarrassedly, "It's okay, I also bought a dozen screaming chickens."
As he said that, he took out the small gray stretchable cloth bag and let Cyril take a look at the results of his purchases.
Cyril choked when he heard the words, and his eyes were very complicated when he looked at Robert.
Good guy, it's poverty that limits his imagination!
Unexpectedly, this big brother is still a krypton gold player.
80 Wu Jing's Screaming Chicken says to buy, buy a dozen, just like buying cheap brown bread.
But soon, Cyril felt the wonderful feeling of burning Wu Jing.
There are indeed more creatures appearing on the prairie from time to time, and the creatures can also keenly perceive the "intruder" breath on Cyril.
Many creatures quietly followed behind the two of them.
However, the two people holding the screaming chicken were not panicking.
I plan to wait for a large number of creatures to be collected before launching a wave of screaming chicken's magic sound attack to take it away!
Cyril watched with admiration after the screaming chicken was pinched, and then opened his mouth to scream recklessly for about two minutes.
Since they were holding the screaming chicken, they couldn't hear the indiscriminate attack equivalent to 15 mana, but the creatures that followed around were all fleeing under the attack of the magic sound.
"Intruders" do not talk about martial arts!
On the first day on the prairie, Cyril and the others used 3 screaming chickens.
He even picked up a few rabbits dazed by the magic sound as food, used the red particles in the "colorful pepper", and ate the spicy rabbit head.
Cyril and Robert found the place where the night rested before night came, which was a triangular stone cave formed by several large stones piled together.
They lit a fire in the cave, and the two took turns to keep vigil.
The night was uneventful, and they continued on their way the next day.
Cyril found that along the way, the grass on the road was getting thinner and thinner, the weather seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and the water vapor in the air was gradually decreasing.
He had an uneasy feeling in his heart.
Day three.
After using up 9 screaming chickens, the two stood on a desert and looked at each other.
In front of them is a long yellow sand, the color is poor and monotonous.
Further out are rolling hills of gravel.
The vast desert seems to have no end in sight.
A round sun hangs high in the air, exuding a trace of warmth.
Robert was wearing a thick cloak and felt like he was sweating profusely.
He wiped his sweat, glanced at the number "3" on the white bracelet on his wrist, and said with certainty, "The direction is correct, the concentration of elements here is much stronger than that on the prairie before. ."
"It's really tossing people!"
Cyril sighed.
He also felt the heat wave coming under the strong sunlight, and the heat was lingering.
It didn't take long for the sweat to seep on his cheeks and body, and sweat profusely.
Robert had taken off his protective cloak and jacket, and Cyril had also taken off his jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.
However, the heat is still pervasive, and the sand under my feet seems to be smoking under the strong sunlight.
"Not quite right."
Cyril stopped and said breathlessly.
"If we keep going like this, we won't be able to go very far. In addition, no creatures have attacked us yet. If we encounter powerful creatures again, we have no ability to deal with it in our current state. There should be something that can make We move about freely in the desert."
Cyril said while thinking.
[System, detects nearby magic fluctuations. ]
He blinked and asked for Goldfinger's help.
If as Robert guessed.
The illusion is to consider the ability of the wizard apprentice to survive alone and to stay awake in the face of fear. The first circle of forests without many dangers should be to test the ability of the wizard apprentice to discover the core direction of the secret realm.
In the second circle, there are dangerous creatures. The principle is to examine the ability to attack and defend yourself. Whether it is a direct physical attack or a magic attack, or the ability to use Wu Jing's money, it must belong to a certain quality of a wizard apprentice. .
As for the desert on the third lap…
Cyril felt that if he wanted to cross the desert to reach the fourth circle closer to the core of the secret realm as before, he must find a breakthrough, rather than simply do it.
[There is a magic power wave in front of you, about 200 meters away in a straight line. ] The system quickly came to a conclusion.
[Navigate. ]
Cyril took a deep breath and beckoned Robert to follow.
When they walked to the place where the magic power fluctuated, they found that it was a clear spring in the shape of a crescent moon.
Under the flying sand in the sky, there is a bay of rippling green water, like a drop of crystal clear tears in the desert, which is very shocking.
They approached this puddle of water cautiously, vigilantly paying attention to the dangers around them.
When Cyril walked to the side of Qingshui, the system also gave an identification:
[Name: Crescent Moon Spring
Uses: Quench your thirst, manage your satiety, and don't have to worry about eating in the desert.
How to use: drink directly
Description: drink 100ml of Crescent Moon Spring water, you will be the most beautiful cub in the desert! The vast desert walks sideways! 】 Cyril's eyes lit up.
However, when he wanted to reach for water, a sturdy black snake with a triangular head suddenly appeared.
