On the other side, Gu Shi did not notice the abnormality in the number of attacking monsters like the instructors. After all, he had no experience of working with so many people before, and he thought that the large number of monsters caused the attack.
But he also vaguely felt something unusual. Ever since entering the Warcraft Forest, Gu Shi's intuition told him that something was hidden in this forest.
Gu Shi had been on edge all the way, wary of any accidents. It was not until Ilsa's defensive magic fell around him that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Shi tiredly took out the tent he had prepared in advance from the space ring. This was a style he had specially selected. He didn't need to build it himself and it had a relatively large space.
Originally, he was planning to buy a tent with built-in space expansion magic, but considering that the luxury tent was not suitable for use in the Warcraft Forest, Gu Shi gave up.
It was the first time for most students to camp in the wild, so they gathered together excitedly eating and talking.
Gu Shi ate a quick dinner and went into the tent. Listening to the faint voices coming from outside, he soon fell asleep.
Although he went to bed early yesterday, when he was woken up in the morning, Gu Shi still looked sleepy.
Gu Shi did not sleep very peacefully. He woke up several times in just one night. He had the impression that he had a nightmare, but when he woke up, he had no idea what he dreamed about.
Before continuing on their journey, Ilsa said seriously, "Something might have happened in the Monster Forest. Everyone, please be alert and do not act rashly."
For this reason, their marching speed today slowed down further and the atmosphere was not as lively as before.
The further they went into the forest, the more obvious the abnormal behavior of the monsters became, and more and more monsters attacked them.
Ilsa frowned and gave the order not to move forward, asking everyone to stop where they were.
Ilsa said, "Brother, could you please check the situation ahead? I have a bad feeling."
Field did not refuse. He was the fastest and strongest among the three, and it was most appropriate to entrust this matter to him.
"I understand. You stay where you are and wait for me." Field nodded seriously, then flew into the air and quickly flew forward. His figure soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
After Field left, Ilsa gathered the students together, and the flowing water turned into a water wall to protect them firmly in the center.
Seeing the instructors' serious expressions, the students obviously understood that something unexpected had happened during this trip, and they gathered in groups of three or four to discuss the situation in a low voice.
Gu Shi did not participate in their conversation. He found a place to sit down alone, silently looking at the front covered by grass and trees.
About an hour later, Gu Shi felt the ground begin to tremble slightly, as if something was approaching them.
Ilsa and Marshall also noticed it, and they picked up their weapons, ready to fight at any time.
A faint black mist began to emerge among the dense bushes around. The moment the black mist appeared, Gu Shi sensed it. It was the same disgusting aura as Blair's.
The black fog filled the entire field of vision within just a few minutes of its appearance, enveloping them. The surrounding light became dim, and the originally vibrant trees quickly withered after being exposed to the black fog.
Ilsa screamed, "It's dark magic!"
"Tsk, shouldn't all those things be dead? Where did this one come from?" Marshall's face looked very ugly after hearing what Ilsa said.
Over the past thousand years, dark mages have been almost extinct on the continent, and even magical beasts with the same attributes are quite rare.
Because of this, people's understanding of dark magic is quite limited. Even a knowledgeable person like Ilsa can only determine the properties of the black fog surrounding them, but cannot recognize which magic caused it.
The black mist made a sizzling sound when it touched the water barrier raised by Ilsa. In order to protect the safety of the students, she had to continuously use her magic power to support the barrier.
Feeling the magic power in her body rapidly decreasing, Ilsa said, "I can't sit here and wait for death any longer. My magic power won't last much longer. I have to find a way to leave here."
Looking at the lifeless environment around them under the influence of the black fog, the students trembled, not daring to imagine what would happen if they came into contact with the black fog.
Marshall asked, "Do you have a teleportation scroll with you?"
"Yes, but I can't take so many students." Ilsa regretted, "I should have bought a few more tickets this time."
The teleportation scroll is just like Gu Shi’s teleportation stone. It can teleport people to a fixed place, but there is a distance limit, and the destination is determined when the teleportation scroll is drawn.
Generally, cities with teleportation arrays will sell teleportation scrolls with the landing point being the city in the store. Ilsa had been to Langari before, so she had a few teleportation scrolls from Langari.
They are now too far away from Congleton's location, so Congleton's teleportation scroll cannot be used. If it exceeds the range of use, the teleportation scroll will become a random teleportation, and it is easy to fall into a dangerous place if you are not careful.
"Take as many steps as you can. I still have two Langari scrolls. Here, one for one person and one for ten." Marshall handed Ilsa two scrolls.
Although the ground shaking has stopped and no monsters have appeared around, it is possible that something will come and attack them soon.
Two scrolls can send away eleven people, plus the three scrolls for ten people and five scrolls for one person in Ilsa's hand, a total of forty-six students were sent away.
There was no dispute over who should leave. Only five students were left, all of whom had stayed voluntarily. Gu Shi was among them. After all, he still had the teleportation stone in his hand, which he had no use for, so there was no need to compete with other students for a spot.
As the number of people decreased, Ilsa's defensive pressure was greatly reduced. The water shield that was originally enough to cover more than fifty people shrank a lot, and her magic power could last longer.
Ilsa comforted the remaining students, "Don't worry, everyone. I still have a lot of potions in my space ring that can replenish my magic power. As long as we hold on until Teacher Field returns, we can use the teleportation scroll to leave."
Ilsa knew that her senior brother was very wealthy. His space ring was always filled with teleportation scrolls sold in all cities, and there were quite a few for each city.
Ilsa looked at the surroundings that were shrouded in black fog and could no longer see the environment clearly, and silently prayed in her heart that Field would come back as soon as possible.
