Dilling groaned inwardly.
In his current state, it is difficult to even deal with first-order monsters, not to mention the one in front of him doesn't look weaker than the silver-armored beast.
He could use wind magic to escape, but the monster was just in front of him. If he wanted to pass, he had to confront the monster head-on. If he chooses another direction, he is afraid that his head, which has been confused by the direction, will become more dizzy.
Just when he hesitated for a moment, those red eyes suddenly jumped up and rushed towards him!
Its body is exposed to light. If the silver armored beast is like a wild boar in silver armor, then this one is a leopard with a single horn on its nose and pure black fur!
Dillin subconsciously condensed the water element and moved himself six meters back.
The sudden loss of the target made the one-horned black panther stunned. Those red pupils quickly realigned their direction, and the sharp, nail-like teeth flashed a strange orange light in the oblique light of the setting sun, and the minced meat between the teeth was faintly visible.
It seems it came here to prepare for dinner.
Despite understanding its needs, Dilling did not intend to make self-sacrifice. He quickly weighed the current situation. This one-horned black panther is obviously not ready to give up the road behind him, and his wind magic has not yet been practiced to the point where he wants to - he doesn't know how to run an arc around the beast. After thinking about it, it is best to withdraw from the other direction first.
Anyway, the worst is to crush the crystal ball and give up the exam.
The one-horned black panther only felt another flash in front of his eyes, and the delicious-looking human had completely disappeared from sight.
What is getting worse and worse, Dilling finally understood. After finally escaping from the one-horned black panther's territory, he encountered a monster that ran like a fly again.
If he guessed correctly, this should be the Swift Wolf that he had seen in the book. They were gregarious creatures, so now it was not one, but a group, chasing him.
Even under the rapid movement of wind magic, those wolves were still chasing him, and even whenever he relaxed a little, they would take the opportunity to attack him, making him have to speed up again.
Using magic is extremely mentally consuming, especially since he has not mastered wind magic for a long time. Under such continuous use of such intensity, Di Lin gradually felt unsupported. The water element began to dim.
"Ouch..."
A wolf howl sounded behind him.
Di Lin's body trembled slightly, a tingling pain came from his head, the water element supporting him suddenly disappeared, and the man fell from the air.
Damn.
He didn't have time to pay attention to what happened, and quickly took out the dagger from the space bag and stabbed it horizontally. The speed of the Swift Wind Wolf was so fast that he could not see the figure at all, and could only guess their actions by relying on the flow of the wind.
The dagger was swept away. Dilling felt a pain in his right wrist, and his body was slammed to the ground. A light blue wolf was biting his wrist firmly, his dark eyes full of violence.
Blood was streaming from between his wrist and his teeth, which seemed to be deeply embedded in the bones of the hand.
Dilling's lips turned white, and he suddenly fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes.
The surroundings were pitch-dark, the sky and the earth blended together, and the five fingers could not be seen.
Dilling closed his eyes again, and the sparkling water element appeared in his mind again.
... Could it be that he died
He moved, and suddenly there was a tingling pain in his wrist, echoing the dull pain in his chest, causing him to shrink his legs with a cracked mouth.
"Awake?" With the distinctive voice of a thick nasal voice, countless small flames floated above Di Lin's head, like stars floating in the sky, illuminating the surroundings.
"You?" Only then did Di Lin realize that his right wrist had been bandaged, and the pain from his wrist was much lighter than before. He endured the slight pain and sat up on the ground with his uninjured left hand, his eyes fixed on the blond man sitting in front of him. Even sitting in a mess of hay, he still had the familiar calm and arrogance on his face.
Seeing him staring at him without saying a word, Heideyin mocked, "Are you scared?"
Dilling suddenly supported the ground with his left hand and moved his body over.
Heidein quietly looked at the figure he approached, and watched him raise his hand... and put it on his right face. There was a faint anger in those azure blue eyes, and Hyde said coldly, "What are you doing?"
Di Lin didn't feel satisfied after posting it, and after rubbing it again, he breathed a sigh of relief, let go of his hand and whispered, "It's true."
"Very happy?" Hyde said.
Nailed to death, of course happy. Dilling smiled.
"Don't explain what you just did?" Heidein obviously didn't intend to let him go.
Dilling looked sideways at the clear fingerprints printed on that face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly said solemnly, "I just want to express the excitement of seeing my mentor at this critical moment."
"Critical moment?" Hydeyin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since you know it's a critical moment, why don't you crush the crystal ball?"
The first time Nightmare Forest was resurrected, he had been standing outside the forest, waiting for Dilling's crystal ball to be crushed to provide directions. He just waited left and right, and the other students came out one after another, but there was no signal from him. If it wasn't for the people in his group who came out to point out an approximate location, he wouldn't have been able to save him in time.
Thinking of the situation at the moment, those blue eyes shrank slightly.
Dilling suddenly remembered that his crystal ball hadn't been crushed, and he couldn't help but rejoice: "My exam is not over yet."
"Do you think it's like this just now, do you still have to worry about exams?" Hyde said sharply. If he is one step late, then the person sitting here is not a wounded boy, but a gnawed and clean corpse!
Di Lin was taken aback by his stern words, recalling the scene before he passed out, he was secretly afraid, and said indifferently: "Forget it." This sentence is not a lie. After encountering the swift wolf, he had no time to think about asking for help.
Heidein said, "Why did you escape here?"
Dilling said: "I told them to divert the monsters to the east."
"East?" Hydein stared at him. "Your companion said you went north."
"Huh?" Dilling was at a loss.
Heidein said: "And I'm sure I found you based on your companion's prompt."
Dilling frowned and said, "Later I met a one-horned black panther and ran in another direction. Maybe that one is the north?"
"So I should meet you in the northeast?" Heidein raised his eyebrows, "Then can you explain why we are in the northwest now?"
"Nightmare Forest is too weird." Dilling concluded.
Heiden: "… "
"By the way, didn't Dean McCreese say that he would only encounter first- and second-order monsters? Why didn't I encounter them?" Dilling looked at him suspiciously, as if he was looking at the culprit.
"Because you're unlucky." Hyde had a gloating expression on his face.
Dilling was more convinced of his suspicions, "Is this an extra test?"
"The exam has been cancelled."
"Cancelled?" Di Lin was stunned, then said, "Why?" He went through a near-death experience and managed to keep the crystal ball, but in exchange for the cancellation of the exam
Heidein said: "Orosei's decision."
"Headmaster?" Di Lin finally realized that things were not as simple as he thought, "Why?"
Heidein said: "Because..." His right hand casually grabbed a handful on the ground.
Dilling craned his neck, "What?"
Snapped.
The hand that had just grabbed the soil pressed against Dilling's face, making a crisp sound.
Dilling was filmed speechless.
Hydein retracted his hand and pouted, "Do you think I don't know what's on my face?"
Dilling: "..." Can he assume that Hydein's previous performance was all to distract his attention and return the palm to him
There was a fine stomping sound from the front right.
Dilling was tense, and the pain in his wrist was twitching.
Hydein waved.
The small flames that were hovering above their heads suddenly floated around, forming a circle, and kept turning around them.
"This is?" Dilling wondered.
"My barrier." Hydein waved his hand again. The small flame that originally turned clockwise jumped up and down, like a small fence made of flames.
Dilling: "..."
He suddenly understood what his own magic was. For example, he would never use such a childish barrier.
