Chapter 6 Grass Valley
Chapter 6 Baicao Valley
Although it's only a straight-line distance of 30 kilometers, the actual walking distance is much longer than 30 kilometers.
The mountains, rivers, forests, and valleys were countless, and the mosquitoes at night tormented the students.
"Holy crap, this head instructor is a total jerk. He even said he's a kind person. What a load of rubbish."
"Exactly! This godforsaken place is deserted; we have to find our own food and drink!"
The students stood on the edge of a river valley, their faces covered in dust and drenched in sweat.
"If we want to get to Baicao Valley, we have to go through this road," Zhou Min said, pointing to the valley ahead with a map.
"Isn't there a way around it?" Xu Qinglin couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Min shook her head and said, "Yes, there are, but they are much farther away than this road."
"What should we do then? We can't just give up halfway, can we?"
"Why don't we head back? There are other groups anyway. If they finish the bounty, we can still get an A," Zhang Shuhua suggested.
Upon hearing this talk of backing down, Zhou Min immediately scolded, "You're spineless! Why are you always thinking of relying on others!"
"Then tell me what to do, none of us can cross this valley!" Zhang Shuhua retorted.
Zhou Min was speechless. What he said made so much sense that she couldn't refute it.
"By the way, Zhang Yinglu, aren't you a wind mage? Why don't you try to jump over?" Xu Zhaoting looked at Zhang Yinglu, who had a ponytail, in the group.
"No, I won't go, I'm scared!" Zhang Yinglu shook her head repeatedly, saying she wouldn't go no matter what.
In the end, Zhang Xiaohou volunteered to step forward.
These people looked Zhang Xiaohou up and down. He wasn't very noticeable in class, and his grades in the wind department weren't even as good as Zhang Yinglu's.
However, it's always good that someone steps forward; it's much better than just waiting idly.
Zhou Min acted swiftly, quickly tying the rope around Zhang Xiaohou's waist.
Mo Fan tied the other end of the rope to a big tree, and Lu Jie said to Zhang Xiaohou, "Monkey, good luck."
"I will, Brother Jie." Zhang Xiaohou nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, monkey, even if you don't jump over, Lao Lu and I will pull you up," Mo Fan said.
Zhang Xiaohou gave the two men a simple, honest smile, then took a running start and, under everyone's watchful eyes, finally jumped over.
It seems that he used too much force, and Zhang Xiaohou couldn't brake in time, crashing directly into a tree on the opposite side.
"Well done, monkey!"
After Zhang Xiaohou got up, he quickly untied the rope from his waist and tied it to a big tree.
"Quick, let's climb over using the rope!" Xu Zhaoting said.
After nearly another day, they finally arrived at their destination for this training exercise – Baicao Valley!
Before long, their group met another group.
"Oh, I didn't expect you guys to actually make it this far?" Zhao Kun sneered at Lu Jie and his two companions.
"Why are you here, you fatso? With all that fat, you're probably holding us back, aren't you?" Zhang Xiaohou retorted without backing down.
"You've got quite a sharp tongue, haven't you, following those two big brothers around!" Zhao Kun sneered.
"It's much better than some people being treated like dogs," Zhang Xiaohou said with a grin.
"You think you're good at talking back? You sound like a dog barking." Zhao Kunsan mocked.
"I was just afraid you wouldn't understand, so I had to imitate your speech," Zhang Xiaohou shrugged.
"Hahaha!"
Laughter erupted from the entire group, while Zhao Kunsan's face turned ashen.
"That's hilarious, hahaha."
"That's right, hahaha, I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing."
"I've learned a lot, and I feel like this will be very useful in the future."
"Alright, quiet down!" Mu Bai scolded. What time is it? Why are you still acting so nonchalantly?
"Are you here to fulfill the bounty or just to listen to some comedy?" Mu Bai said. "This bounty isn't that simple, don't blame me for not warning you!"
After that, the people who were laughing wildly quieted down.
Zhao Kun glared angrily at Zhang Xiaohou before following Mu Bai away.
The two groups climbed up the steep hillside together and immediately saw a deep, dark cave entrance.
At Mu Bai's prompting, Zhao Kunsan jumped out again, still being his usual sarcastic self: "Let's go in together. Light-type characters, now's your time to shine! Quickly light up the bulbs!"
His words immediately drew complaints from the group of students majoring in light.
"You just got criticized, and now you're trying to get attention again?"
"that is."
"..."
Although they complained, their actions betrayed their true intentions, and they turned on the "third wheel".
Unfortunately, the nickname for the basic light-element skills is indeed "moving light bulb".
Unless you're in an ancient capital, light-based magic isn't very effective.
"The wind-type characters will scout ahead. Your Wind Track skill will allow you to quickly evacuate if you encounter any problems," Mu Bai commanded.
"Brother Fan, Brother Jie, I'm going to scout ahead... What are you looking at?" Zhang Xiaohou asked, puzzled when he saw the two of them staring at a small pond.
"See that? There's a clear waterline around the edge of the pool, which means there's definitely something big nearby," Mo Fan said, pointing to the pool.
"It's not like I can't see it. There's nowhere to hide around here, the only place is that cave." Lu Jie squatted down and touched the waterline at the edge of the pool.
"It feels very smooth, which means it wasn't evaporated by the sun," Lu Jie said after getting up.
"Could it be that one of the group filled up the water here?" Zhang Xiaohou said.
"Do you think the water level in this pool would drop so much for twenty people's kettles?" Lu Jie asked.
"Old Lu is right, it seems..."
"Awooo—!"
Before Mo Fan could finish speaking, a wolf howl came from inside the cave.
Several students were so frightened that they ran out of the hole, calling for their mothers as they ran.
The three of them rushed over and, taking advantage of the light mage's radiance, were able to see the situation inside the cave.
A creature covered in green fur, with sharp, blade-like claws extending from its toes, sank into the ground in an instant.
"Holy crap, a demon!!!" Mo Fan exclaimed in surprise. He immediately turned and ran away, just like the other students who were fleeing.
Lu Jie looked at the demon, his legs trembling slightly; its size alone was comparable to that of a truck.
In my past life, I could feel a little scared just by watching documentaries about ferocious beasts on TV, let alone seeing such a demon here that is even more terrifying than tigers and lions!
No one is born strong; strength is achieved through hard work and perseverance.
Fortunately, he could still run, unlike some people who were so frightened by demons that they couldn't run at all and could only scream.
He quickly dodged to the side, hid behind a rock, and immediately connected to the fire-type star orbit.
The fiery red stars gradually connected, and the seven stars formed a star trail.
The energy in the stardust was drawn out by the star trails, and Lu Jie then connected them back into star trails.
Therefore, when star trails appear, magic is accomplished!
"Fire Sizzles, Bones Burn!"
Lu Jie threw a fireball, which landed squarely on the wolf beast that was running out of the cave.
In that instant, the demon wolf howled in agony...
