How could he lead a group of incomplete awakened people who had no fighting power to escape from this deadly and dangerous area safely? No one knew how anxious the seemingly calm Meis was at the moment.
In fact, he felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the forest and walked for a while.
Because schools will clean the venue before conducting comprehensive training, including some higher military academies that hold actual combat training will actually send people to clean the surrounding area thoroughly to eliminate the possibility of students being exposed to sudden dangers.
After all, students, as the name suggests, are freshmen who still need to go to school. They have not completed basic training and have not been exposed to real battlefields and missions, so there is no need for them to be exposed to these too early.
Whether from the perspective of protecting those who have not fully awakened or the rules for cultivating talents, these students should receive the strictest protection.
Beskar Secondary College is one of the top secondary education colleges in the area. Considering its military background, it is impossible for it not to have the strength, and it is even more impossible for it to ignore things like clearing the area.
Normally, this area shouldn't have a very strong mental magnetic field. It's impossible for the school to arrange a level that would be threatening enough to test the freshmen.
Metz felt something was wrong at the time, so he calmly led the students around the edge for a short distance and tried to turn back. On the way, he contacted the observation center to ask what was going on.
It was not known whether the magnetic field was disturbed, or whether the observation center thought there was no problem, or whether this was simply arranged by the school... Mace was not quite sure, but his moral character told him not to move forward.
So he simply decided not to go any further and wanted to return directly. However, before he had even reached halfway back, the culprit that caused the abnormal magnetic field in the surrounding area could not help but jump out.
Metz didn't know whether he was thankful for his quick reaction and rapid retracing of a long distance, or whether he was regretting that he didn't abandon all his concerns and take the person away earlier, otherwise they could have gone back further by now.
He whispered to everyone to get closer, with those with strong mental power on the outside and those with weaker mental power on the inside, forming a circle. Then he told them not to panic or lose their way no matter what they saw, but just follow his instructions.
Before he could come up with a way to deal with this group of enemies, these star beasts could no longer wait because they had been coveting this wave of prey in the dark for a long time.
A dozen freshmen huddled together in panic, staring at their surroundings without blinking. The wind, rain, and constant thunder cast a shadow over their fearful mood.
Black shadows flashed out from the darkness, and with the light of lightning they could see the arthropods' hideous mouthparts and a pair of hideous tentacles raised high on both sides.
They are divided into three parts: head, chest and abdomen. Each one is half the height of an adult man. If the hind legs are propped up, they can hold down an entire person.
Ant
No, even ants in the giant order are rarely this huge. Moreover, they have offensive mental power that ordinary ants do not have. These are star beasts, probably ant-type star beasts.
The entire team suddenly became a little panicked and even forgot the instructor's instructions.
Before they could call out to the only person they could turn to and rely on, a huge shadow suddenly fell above their heads, as if some huge monster had landed on top of them.
Everyone subconsciously wanted to flee, thinking that the star beasts were coming to eat them up. However, they never expected that dozens of tentacles suddenly gathered around them, densely inserted into the ground, inserted around them, vaguely forming the shape of a cage.
"It's me, Instructor Mace. Don't move, don't leave the protection range of my mecha, and don't get close to those gaps. If a star beast approaches, don't panic. I have my own arrangements."
Everyone then realized that these pedipalps belonged to the instructor... no, they should belong to the mecha.
Some people subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the huge shadow looming over them.
At four o'clock, lightning flashes and illuminates the surrounding area.
Not only did they see the star beasts that surrounded them in the middle depression and covered the mountains, they also saw a majestic spider-shaped mecha.
And now they are being covered by this mecha.
Everyone was in a daze about what happened afterwards. Although the star beasts were small in size, they were somewhat different from the common new beasts they had seen in textbooks.
They were very difficult to deal with, and because of their small size, they were very flexible and their attacks were very ferocious. They were not interested in Instructor Metz's spider mecha at all, but instead chased and attacked the freshmen covered by the mecha, as if they were all delicious meals.
So the freshmen could only run and walk, or jump and move along with Instructor Mays's defense cage, closely following the pace of the battle, for fear of being thrown down accidentally. If they couldn't wait for the instructor to grab them, they might be eaten up by the giant ants on the spot.
Instructor Meis's combat power is very impressive. His spider-type mecha is an animal-type light attack mecha, which is also mainly flexible and has strong one-way combat power. If he is alone, these ant-type star beasts cannot get close to him at all, but the problem is that he is currently protecting a group of freshmen.
Because this mecha was specially customized, there was no space inside for people to hide. Mace could only use the mecha to actively fight to protect these students.
What's worse is that this group of ant-like star beasts, who are of unknown order, can actually secrete a gas similar to poison gas.
This gas smells very sour at first, and this is what Jiang Hui smelled all the way. If you are in it without enough ventilation, you will start to feel dizzy and want to vomit. If it continues, it may cause your mental power to be stimulated and out of control.
Mace also realized that he couldn't let these children stay here any longer, because he felt that he seemed to be gradually affected, and occasionally felt a little drowsy during the battle. Even he was like this... let alone these children.
This can't go on any longer.
After a period of hard fighting and killing dozens of enemies, Metz finally found a closed breakthrough, so he immediately allocated a spare protective shield to carry the group of freshmen away from the battle scene, wanting to leave them more chances of survival.
But Metz probably didn't expect that his protective shield would be broken at the very beginning, and the students also ran away in a hurry and scattered.
The one who ran to Jiang Hui was one of them.
