Chapter 87 Grade Trial Competition 3
"roar----"
The huge monster raised its head and roared, and the sound waves quickly spread in all directions.
Under the huge impact, Rupert was forced to bend backwards and roll several times.
It was not until he rolled dozens of meters away from his original position that he managed to steady himself.
The continuous rolling made his whole body covered with dust and mud, even his cheeks were stained with mud, and he looked extremely miserable.
Rupert wiped the mud off his face, looked up at the tall monster, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "Damn it, this monster is too smart!!"
Beside him, Flo, who was also knocked away, looked at him and smiled bitterly, "Who said it wasn't true! I underestimated the strength of this beast..."
Canaan stood behind them, staring straight at the huge second-level monster.
He was also extremely panicked in his heart, but he did not dare to show any fear on the surface.
Canaan knew very well how sharp the monster he was looking at was. If he dared to show the slightest sign of cowardice, the three of them would probably be torn to pieces in the next second.
"No, this is really hard to fight." Canaan stared fiercely at the monster that was ready to move, but his words were full of tears.
"It's not easy to fight! I can't hit it at all... How can this be a monster that has just entered the initial stage of the second stage? I bet it has at least reached the peak of the second stage!" Rupert said with a grim expression.
"We're just fishing here!" Flo cursed. "After all this time, we're the biggest fools!"
She had a sweet face, but when she looked coldly at the monster confronting them, she looked particularly fierce.
"It's a bad start..." Rupert estimated his remaining magic power, and his expression became even uglier when he found that his magic power was almost used up.
Flo, who was standing by, caught a glimpse of his expression and immediately realized that Rupert's magic power might have been exhausted.
She herself was a mid-level trainee magician, and now she didn't have much magic power left in her body, not to mention the junior trainee magician Rupert, who was one level lower than her and had even less magic power reserves.
Flo took a deep breath, turned her head and said decisively: "How about we retreat?"
They definitely won't be able to defeat this monster today. If they don't leave now, it will be difficult to escape.
Canaan nodded slightly, "That's exactly what I meant!"
Half an hour ago——
The three people who had just left the outskirts of the back mountain to look for prey accidentally discovered this monster.
The second-level monsters were not within the hunting range of the few people for the time being.
But the amazing thing is that this demon beast should have just been promoted to the second level, and its aura is still very unstable. Its true strength is probably only around the intermediate first level.
This is simply the perfect time for them to take action!
Canaan and Rupert immediately wanted to kill the monster.
Although Flo was a little hesitant at that time, after repeated magical perception, she couldn't help but agree to their plan.
The three of them entered the trial field one after another through the same entrance, and after learning the rules of the grade trial competition, they naturally formed a temporary team.
Two intermediate apprentice magicians plus one junior apprentice magician, this configuration is considered top-notch among all the first-year students.
With the cooperation of the three of them, they had hunted down many low-level and even first-level magical beasts in the previous three hours.
The consecutive victories gave Flo a surge of confidence, and she even felt that they could fight against the weak second-level monster in front of them.
But who knew that this "weak monster that had just been promoted to the second level" was actually a complete scam.
Being weak is fake, and being promoted to the second level is also fake.
Everything was just an illusion deliberately disguised for them by this second-level monster.
Not only did the three of them fail to easily defeat the monster, but they were defeated step by step under the relentless pressure of the second-level monster.
"I feel like it's not that easy to retreat..." Rupert said with a wry smile.
The magic power of the three of them had been almost exhausted, while the second-level monster was in full force, and it was clearly getting more and more excited as the fight went on.
"We have to retreat even if it's not easy." Canaan gritted his teeth.
"I think I have the most magic power left now. I'll keep an eye on it and you guys retreat first. If it doesn't work, I'll turn off the breathing light in time and wait for the inspection professor to come to rescue..."
Flo and Rupert looked at each other.
Although they really wanted to say "No, I'll stay with you" out of excitement, they both knew that forcing Canaan to stay would only hold him back.
"Okay, take care of yourself!" Rupert nodded deeply.
"...Don't worry, I will definitely give you half of the reward I get after the grade trial competition is over!" said Flo.
"Me too!" Rupert said unwillingly.
As he spoke, Canaan had already walked from behind the two men to in front of them.
Hearing what the two said, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Then I really have to thank you..."
But there was no more sound from behind.
Canaan was constantly confronting the second-level monster's eyes and didn't dare to turn his head and look behind him.
One of his eyes was fixed on the second-level monster in front of him, and the other eye moved slightly. He caught a glimpse of the empty space behind him, and there was no trace of the two people.
"Damn, he runs so fast..." Canaan muttered softly.
But it’s better to leave, so that he won’t be distracted.
Canaan lowered his head slightly, bent his body, raised his eyes and glared fiercely at the ugly second-level monster.
The man and the beast moved slowly left and right, as if they were testing each other but neither of them dared to take the first step easily.
A few minutes later.
The second-level monster finally lost its patience and roared softly, then raised its head and rushed towards Canaan.
Canaan emptied out half of his remaining magic power, and countless thick vines grew out of the ground to bind the second-level monster firmly in place.
He ran without hesitation, without looking back, and fled in the opposite direction where the two people had just left.
Canaan knew that his vines could not trap the second-level monster, but he wanted to delay it as long as possible, as his only goal was to escape.
But then, he felt the vines break, and even vaguely heard the sound of approaching footsteps coming from the whistling wind.
Canaan clenched his teeth, still unwilling to turn off the breathing light right now.
There is less than a day left before the grade trial competition begins. It would be too embarrassing to be eliminated now!
Canaan turned around abruptly.
At the same time, a sound of breaking air exploded in his ears, as if something was flying past him.
Canaan turned around and was so frightened by the scene that his heart stopped beating.
The second-level monster was only an arm's length away from him, and the breath it exhaled even hit him directly in the face.
It seemed as if the huge mouth would bite him in the next second.
However, his fear lasted only a second.
Because Canaan saw the branch that was inserted directly into the heart of the second-level monster and its rapidly declining vitality.
"Hey, you're not leaving yet? Aren't you afraid that he'll explode before he dies?"
A teasing voice sounded behind him.
Upon hearing this, Canaan hurriedly distanced himself from the dead monster. When he turned around and saw the person coming, his eyes widened instantly.
"Lu Yi? Why are you here?"
Before he finished speaking, Rupert and Flo behind Lu Yi poked their heads out.
"If you hadn't run in the opposite direction, we would have been able to go even faster!" said Flo.
Lu Yi shrugged and tilted his head to look at the two people behind him, "Just tell me if it's a coincidence or not?"
He was walking on the road when he suddenly saw two familiar-looking guys running in panic.
"What a coincidence, brother." Canaan smiled bitterly. After the threat was removed, he found that he was already covered in cold sweat.
"If I had been a second later, I would have been killed by the monster... It's really a miracle from heaven!"
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Not really. There are professors patrolling every area. How could they just watch their students get bitten to death by monsters?"
"The most I can do is deduct all your points after saving someone."
His teasing drew Canaan back to the safe haven, and the fear of being chased and beaten by the monsters began to gradually fade away.
As the fear subsides, I begin to have extra time to pay attention to details.
Canaan suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back, looking carefully at the monster that was completely dead.
To be more precise, he was carefully observing the fatal wound on the monster.
An ordinary-looking branch.
Jianan took a breath, turned his head and looked at Lu Yi in disbelief, and said in shock: "...Is this a branch?"
Lu Yi blinked and pointed to the broken end of a tree behind him.
"It's an emergency, and I don't have any handy tools around, but luckily this branch is strong enough."
Canaan was so shocked that he was beyond words. He opened his mouth and gave Lu Yi a thumbs up with both hands.
"Brother, you are really awesome. Very awesome. Extremely awesome."
He actually easily killed the second-level monster that the three of them had been struggling with for so long with just an ordinary branch.
It’s not an advanced skill, nor is it an advanced equipment, it’s just an ordinary branch!
What kind of perversion is this?!
If it hadn't happened right before his eyes, Canaan would have found it hard to believe that someone could kill a second-level monster in an instant with just a branch.
Canaan couldn't help but look at Lu Yi.
Looks better now.
The magic power also became stronger.
After only not seeing him for a few weeks, he couldn't even see the level of magic power in Lu Yi.
Jianan asked curiously: "Lu Yi, what realm are you in now? Is it convenient for you to tell me? If it's not easy to tell me, you will just pretend that I didn't ask anything..."
"There's nothing bad to say." Lu Yi shook his head slightly, "I'm just lucky. I just became a first-level magician not long ago."
"This is not just luck..." Canaan sighed.
How can it be a matter of luck to advance to the first-level magician?
Haven’t you seen how many apprentice magicians died at this step?
Flo nodded in agreement.
"Lu Yi should be the only one in our first grade who has been promoted to a formal magician, right?" She thought for a moment and asked uncertainly.
Canaan nodded. "Yes, there isn't even a senior apprentice magician below... This is a complete gap!"
Canaan said this, then suddenly paused, then looked at Lu Yi with burning eyes.
"Brother, do you want to come with us?!"
If you don’t hold this big brother, you’d be a fool!
Rupert and Flo on the side also reacted and instantly looked at Lu Yi with starry eyes.
"Yes, yes! Lu Yi, you don't have any teammates now!"
"Apart from anything else, we, Flo, are really good at grilling!" Canaan said immediately.
"I also brought various seasonings with me! I guarantee the barbecue will have a rich flavor!" Canaan added.
"Lu Yi, when you are bored, Canaan and Rupert can tell you jokes and perform crosstalk!" said Flo.
She reached out and tugged at Rupert beside her.
Rupert made up his mind and nodded, "Yes! I love telling jokes the most! I have one thousand and eight funny jokes!"
He has sacrificed too much for this family! Rupert thought angrily.
Lu Yi was immediately amused by these three funny guys.
He was originally worried that the trial competition would be too boring during these days, but he didn't expect that someone would come to his doorstep.
Lu Yi happily said, "Okay."
