For Gu Shi, it was not difficult to avoid someone.

So in the next few days, Dean, who wanted to find trouble with Gu Shi, found that Gu Shi seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and he could not find Gu Shi's figure.

Unwilling to give up, Dean even found a way to find out the hotel where they were staying and sent a few of his men to the door to try to find out Gu Shi's whereabouts.

However, Dean's actions had long been discovered by Wendel, who was keeping an eye on him. With Wendel's intelligence support, Gu Shi could hide more easily.

After several days of trying, there was no progress.

Dean was a little furious, but all his attention was focused on Gu Shi, so he didn't realize that someone was behind him and was ready to attack him.

However, these things have nothing to do with Gu Shi who is about to return.

Four days passed in a flash, and today was the day they were leaving the royal city. Gu Shi followed the team out of the royal city gate, and his mood instantly became much better.

Gu Shi was relieved to be able to leave the royal city safely. Although he had known Dean's intentions in advance, he always felt uneasy that someone was plotting against him behind his back.

Gu Shi was in a very happy mood, but Wendell was different.

Although he was worried about what would happen next, Wendel couldn't bear to abandon his studies and continue staying in the royal city, so he entrusted the leadership of the subsequent actions to the eldest son of the Ferguson family.

Wendel also provided him with some manpower and contact channels. As long as he could get the drugs from Dean, he would have a way to test the drugs.

On the way back, Gu Shi saw Wendel still looking worried and said, "Okay, don't worry so much. Didn't you already make most of the plans two days ago?"

Wendell sighed, "I feel a little uneasy when I'm not watching. I hope their operation goes smoothly."

The journey was a bit boring, so Gu Shi leaned back in his chair and prepared to take a nap.

The early morning sunlight was not too glaring. Accompanied by the sound of wind and flapping wings, Gu Shi gradually closed his eyes.

"ah--"

“Who is it?”

"Help--"

Suddenly, several screams woke Gu Shi up.

When Gu Shi opened his eyes, he saw a black shadow riding a griffin and fleeing quickly. There was also a magical beast in the team that he did not recognize.

The screams that Gu Shi just heard were made by several students who were originally sitting on the griffin.

Several people whose mounts had been taken away were falling rapidly. When the leading trainer saw this situation, he immediately flew down to rescue them.

Because they were traveling in large numbers, not every griffin in Gu Shi's team had a trainer. Instead, there were five trainers scattered around the team, and each of their griffins had a bodyguard who was responsible for the team's safety.

The monsters that infiltrated Gu Shi's team were also restless and were constantly attacking them.

Suddenly, there was chaos in the team, with all kinds of noises heard everywhere.

In order to avoid its attack, the griffins began to dodge continuously. Although there were straps to fix their bodies, Gu Shi still held on to the handles on both sides tightly to prevent himself from being thrown out.

Gu Shi, despite the dizziness caused by the constant swaying, shouted, "What happened?"

He had been resting with his eyes closed and didn't see how the accident happened.

Wendell, like Gu Shi, clutched the handrail tightly and answered loudly, "I don't know. I just saw someone suddenly rush over, snatch a griffin, and run away."

Seeing the students encounter such a dangerous situation, the instructors leading the team naturally could not sit still. One of the instructors immediately followed the receding black shadow, wanting to catch the culprit.

Another mentor took out his staff and quickly dealt with the monsters that were causing trouble in the team.

Although the attack happened suddenly, fortunately the trainers were experienced and they successfully rescued the fallen people in a short time and began to try to restore the team's original order.

Seeing the corpse of the monster falling from the sky, Gu Shi's pounding heart slowed down a little. It was the first time he had experienced such a thrilling roller coaster-like experience in the air.

Just when he thought the matter was resolved, the crisis struck again.

Along with the sharp sound of birdsong, a huge tornado came from behind them, and the griffins that were originally trying to restore their formation were suddenly blown to pieces by the wind.

Fortunately, Instructor Buster was there. He immediately came to the back of the team and withstood the tornado's attack.

Gu Shi was constantly shaking and turned his head with great effort to look behind him. The one attacking them was a huge high-level bird-like monster, the Fierce Wind Eagle.

It looked quite angry and had lost its mind.

Gu Shi knew without even thinking that this Fierce Wind Eagle must have followed the black shadow from before, and now it probably mistook them for accomplices.

No wonder the man just now wanted to leave his original mount behind. This would not only slow down Gu Shi and the others' progress, but also increase their hatred in the eyes of the Fierce Wind Eagle, making the Fierce Wind Eagle regard them as accomplices.

It really killed two birds with one stone, turning them into scapegoats for his escape.

Gu Shi didn't expect that even though he had already left the royal city safely, he would encounter such a disaster on the road. He was really unlucky.

Although Instructor Buster was blocking the attack of the Gale Eagle, the aftermath of their battle inevitably involved Gu Shi and his team.

The griffins used as mounts were generally of low level. Under the threat of high-level magical beasts like the Fierce Wind Eagle, they all flew crookedly. Coupled with the strong winds blowing around them, they had no control over the direction of their advance.

If these griffins had not been specially trained, they would have fled in all directions by now instead of barely maintaining the form of a team.

Seeing this situation, the trainers are trying their best to take them away from the battlefield.

The five bodyguards accompanying them knew that their strength was not very high and they could not participate in such a high-level battle at all. They were completely a burden and the only correct option was to escape as soon as possible.

Since they couldn't help with the battle over there, the bodyguards naturally devoted themselves to helping others escape.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Instructor Buster had already intercepted a Gale Eagle, but now another one appeared out of nowhere.

A familiar tornado, a familiar formula, but this time Gu Shi and his team were not so lucky that no one came to help them block the attack.

There were only two instructors leading the team on this trip. One of them had already chased the black shadow, and the remaining instructor Buster was fighting with the Fierce Wind Eagle. Even if he wanted to help Gu Shi and the others block the attack, he was powerless.

Although they knew that they had no chance of winning, the bodyguards responsible for protecting the team still rushed forward, trying to buy some time for the others to escape.
