Chapter 080

Cheng Hui carefully took the chipped clay pot off the stove. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his hand holding the pot suddenly froze.

wrong!

It’s so easy!

The difficulty of the trial has always been getting harder and harder. Unless one loses a life, the difficulty will drop to the level of three light gates. He spent a full hour looking for clues in the last light gate. This time it will only be more difficult and will definitely not be so easy.

Cheng Hui held his breath and put the clay pot back on the stove.

Then, he took out the compass and was about to cast a spell, but suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he released another spell with a detection effect.

Don't ask him why a zombie can cast spells so smoothly. If anyone can study under the torture of those teachers for three months, let alone a zombie, even a wooden man can learn how to cast spells quickly.

Alas, it’s all tears if I talk too much…QAQ

Whenever Cheng Hui thinks of the days when he studied day and night, he feels a dull pain in his buttocks.

It's so hard for me...

A light blue circle of light spread out with Cheng Hui as the center. After casting this spell, he quickly opened the compass, and sure enough, the compass showed a completely different result from before.

"A bunch of old bastards!"

Cheng Hui cursed in his heart. It was all thanks to his sudden inspiration. If he hadn't discovered the truth and started to break the formation from the broken pot, he was sure that he would fall into more traps. Either the formation would explode and kill him, or he would delay time and wait for the honey bees to break through the defensive formation and then sting him all over the head.

Following the clues given by the compass, Cheng Hui found the bag of grain hanging on the beam. He almost knelt down to those old bastards.

They actually engraved the key runes on the rice grains. If he couldn't find the clues, he would never have thought that the key runes would be hidden in such a place.

Bang--

The outer defensive magic circle exploded, and more than a dozen honey bees were killed, but the remaining honey bees were enraged, and their stingers hit the inner magic circle with clanging sounds.

The defensive formation that Cheng Hui had set up at the door had more than just a defensive effect. Its outer layer was defensive, but once this layer of defense was broken through, the inner layer would turn into a maze. After losing nearly half of its members, it would take the honey bees a longer time to break through the maze's defense. Unless they had the brains to quickly find a way out of the maze, they would definitely not be able to get out in a short time.

The honey bees outside were still buzzing and attacking, but Cheng Hui had already taken the bag of food and was looking for the key rune inside.

The efficiency of finding the rune rice grains is not very fast. There is no way. Cheng Hui must be on guard against those old villains who continue to set traps inside.

Don't think this is impossible. In fact, the reason why Cheng Hui called those teachers old bitches is because they did so many disgusting things.

Entry trap, chain trap, success-or-failure trap...

Even if you get cheated eight or ten times, you will learn your lesson.

Soon, the dinging sounds coming from outside became more and more frequent. Cheng Hui's heart sank, knowing that his magic circle was about to collapse.

He had found four grains of rice with key runes engraved on them, but there was still one grain that he couldn't find.

He calculated the time in his mind and thought to himself that it was not good. The magic circle could not hold on any longer. Even if he found the last grain of rice, it would be impossible for him to break the entire magic circle in such a short time.

Without breaking the magic circle, he couldn't return to the square. If the honey bees caught up with him...

He couldn't help but shiver.

I'd rather die than get bitten again, it hurts so damn much!

The pain was so severe that even a grown man couldn't help but cry out, not even caring about his embarrassment.

Seeing that the honey bees outside were about to rush in, he made up his mind and jumped out of the back window holding Mi Li.

He was also taking a gamble. What he needed most now was time. As long as he could delay until he broke the magic circle, his exact location should not be important.

He carefully wiped out his traces and continued to search for the damn last grain of rice while running.

After spending about ten minutes, he finally found the grain of rice in the gap of the cloth bag.

He cursed those old bastards in his heart. Only those guys could be so insidious as to hide the rice grains. If he hadn't been careful, he would never have found the damn rice grains in his life.

boom!

The cabin finally couldn't withstand the ravages of the honey bees and collapsed completely.

However, when one of the rocks collapsed, a puff of white smoke exploded from a corner. Cheng Hui had already escaped to the mountainside. Looking down from his high vantage point, he saw the area covered by the white smoke. A dozen or so honey bees began to stagger as if they were drunk, and finally fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Cheng Hui watched the honey bee and the cabin perish together, and sneered in his heart.

If he hadn't found the correct clue just now and started to crack it from the broken pot, that swarm of honey bees would have been his fate.

Now, the white smoke has solved his problem, and he can slowly break the magic circle here.

——You think this is possible? You are really overthinking it.

Instead of delaying, Cheng Hui began to break the formation more urgently.

Based on his understanding of those teachers, they would never let him off so easily.

He flexibly applied the knowledge he had learned and quickly found the key to cracking the magic circle. Then, following the clues inside, he found the largest magic circle in this trial space.

He reached the top of the mountain, found the most critical point of the magic circle, and with a light strike, the entire magic circle collapsed completely.

Watching the hill collapse and disappear in a few seconds, Cheng Hui was deeply moved.

The teacher once told them that every magic circle is both powerful and fragile.

He is said to be powerful because once a magic circle is formed, it takes several times the strength to break it violently.

The reason why it is said to be fragile is that once someone who is proficient in magic arrays comes to crack the array, as long as the key node is found, even a mortal can easily break the array.

There was no moment when Cheng Hui understood the meaning of this sentence so deeply.

After the magic circle was destroyed, the trial space also disappeared, and Cheng Hui once again appeared in the boundless square.

After confirming that he had arrived at a safe place, Cheng Hui completely relaxed his body and lay lazily on the ground.

From entering the new trial space to finishing breaking the formation, it took less than four hours in total. It seemed that there was not much consumption, but in fact, he was squeezing himself every minute and every second in the trial space.

Now that he suddenly relaxed, fatigue swept over him and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, there were people lying around him. Most of them were injured, and many were wailing.

Cheng Hui looked at them with sympathy. It was obvious that they were stung by honey bees. The pain went deep into the bone, and only those who had been stung could understand it.

He got up from the ground, cleared his mind and sat in a daze for a while, which was also a way to give his tense brain a rest.

After relaxing for about fifteen minutes, he took out the notes he had taken down and began to study. These trials might be cruel or painful, but each trial allowed him to combine what he had learned in the past with reality.

It was through these trials that he transformed from a nerd with a head full of knowledge into a true master of formations.

Cheng Hui had only seen a limited number of formations in the past, so he didn't know his actual level. Probably... not bad?

Just as he was thinking, a normal-sized light gate suddenly appeared in the square.

Everyone at the scene was stunned. Obviously, this was a change that had never happened before.

Can I go out?

Cheng Hui's heart moved, and he slowly stood up, using the movement of his body to conceal his vigilance.

Many people around him seemed to have the same idea as him, but after experiencing countless tests in the trial space, the people here obviously understood the insidiousness of that group of old villains, and no one rushed in rashly.

The light gate flickered twice, and a tall old man walked out. He had a ruddy face and an upright figure. Although he looked old, he walked with a strong gait. He walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and looked stronger than most people.

Cheng Hui couldn't help but grit his teeth when he saw this strong old man.

He had been tortured by this man a lot in the past, and his buttocks had been whipped several times. He could still remember the pain now.

"Hello everyone? Are you happy to see me?" The strong old man laughed heartily.

Cheng Hui secretly rolled his eyes. "Don't you know whether everyone is happy or not? I can't say what others think, but I'm not happy at all."

The old man looked around and stroked his graying beard: "Seeing that you are all so unhappy, I am happy."

Cheng Hui couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You know that!"

The purpose of the old man's appearance was very simple, that is... their group of students were about to graduate, and as long as they could break the last magic circle, they could leave here completely.

As soon as he finished speaking, the place fell silent. The old man stroked his beard in confusion and said, "Why? Are you unhappy to hear this news?"

The corners of Cheng Hui's mouth twitched. He looked around and found that everyone looked alert. It was obvious that they were all scared by this group of old bastards. Even if they said that the trial was about to end, they didn't dare to believe it easily.

"Don't be like that. What I, Old Hu, say is still very reliable." The strong old man said with a smile.

Everyone: ...I don’t believe you at all, you old man are so bad!

Seeing that no one had reacted, Old Hu's face darkened. "I don't care whether you believe it or not. Now, everyone line up and follow me into the final trial space. As long as you can break the magic circle here, you can leave."

After he said that, everyone felt relieved. That's right. You were so kind just now, which made us feel uneasy. This kind of ruthless attitude is more suitable for you.

With Lao Hu around, everyone was very honest and lined up in an orderly manner to enter the light gate. Cheng Hui also walked in with the group, but as soon as he entered, he felt his feet go empty, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Fortunately, this feeling soon disappeared, and he could feel the ground under his feet again. When he opened his eyes, he saw a young man with a beautiful face holding his hand and saying softly, "Ah Hui, you're back."

Cheng Hui inexplicably felt a sense of disobedience, but soon, this feeling disappeared, and he responded with a smile: "Well, I'm back, you've worked hard."

The young man shook his head. "I'm not tired, you're the one who's worked hard. How was your harvest today?"

Cheng Hui lowered his head and looked at the fishing net in his hand. Suddenly, some images appeared in his mind. He was standing on a small boat and casting a fishing net, but there was almost no harvest in the net, only two or three small fish, which was not enough to make a living.

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch any fish today." Cheng Hui suddenly felt embarrassed and thought he was such a failure. How could he not even catch a fish?

But on the other hand, he felt as if something was wrong. He shouldn't be so useless. How could he not even catch any fish?

He could obviously...

What can I do?

Cheng Hui clenched his fists. He felt like he had forgotten something very important.
