Chapter 375: Only the Male Peacock is Beautiful (Thirty-Seven)
The mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, and the thick fog seemed to be given form as it flowed, like a big mouth ready to devour its prey, full of fangs and danger.
In the silence, a rustling sound of something rubbing against the ground gradually came closer. The white fog obscured everyone's eyes, and they could only see a corner of the dense forest nearby, with towering ancient trees and a mysterious look.
The sound was so creepy that Antoine shuddered and quickly retreated to his roommates' side.
Soon, a slender black shadow appeared faintly behind the fog, accompanied by a hissing sound, as if it was already very close.
The four of them stared at the dark shadow nervously, forgetting even to breathe.
Suddenly, their eyes caught sight of a black and red tongue rapidly extending and retracting from behind the white mist. Antoine gasped: "Snake, python..."
Mallory swallowed his saliva and murmured in disbelief: "Isn't this thing deep in the mountains?"
As soon as the words fell, the dark shadow behind the white mist approached, revealing the face of a strange woman.
The four were very surprised. Just as Mallory was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the woman open her mouth and spit out half of the black and red snake tongue.
Mallory: "......!"
They all felt like there was a piece of cotton stuck in their throats, so dry that they couldn't utter a single syllable.
Yu Huo, the only one who could speak, asked the same question in their hearts: "What the hell are you?"
The woman didn't say anything, but instead stared at them with her pupils as thin as needles. Her every move was like a snake covered in human skin.
She did not show any signs of attacking, but her eyes were fixed on them, as if she was monitoring them, or waiting for something.
Several of them were students of Klein Military Academy. After a year of training, they had already developed a sense of crisis and stood still without making any moves.
Just then, footsteps were heard and a figure emerged from the mist. This time it was a man, a humanoid male.
The 'beautiful snake' moved sideways to make way for the other party, and at the same time nudged the other party's neck with her forehead, looking very intimate.
Yu Huo looked at the small tattoo on the man's forehead and narrowed his eyes. "From the extremely cold land?"
Upon hearing this, the man removed his hand from the beautiful snake's head and looked over calmly: "Yes, you are Yu Huo, right?"
Yu Huo was surprised for a moment: "Coming for me?"
The man nodded: "I guess so. Someone wants your life."
Yu Huo glanced at the thick white fog not far away and immediately said, "Okay, I'll give you my life. Let my companions go."
Mallory and the others were almost moved to tears.
The man sneered and said sarcastically, "You have no bargaining chips to negotiate with me now, because none of you will survive today."
After he finished speaking, he paused, swept his fingers across the four people in front of him, and then lightly pointed at a place behind them: "You, and everyone else."
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Yu Huo's attitude changed instantly. He sneered, "Do you think we are afraid of you?"
Mallory nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Not to mention all of them, even now, it was a four-to-two situation.
At this time, Yu Huo said again: "You guessed right."
Mallory: "Huh?"
Yu Huo's eyes rolled around, and before the man could react, he turned around quickly and yelled at Mallory: "What? Run!"
Yu Huo rushed out first, and the other three were also startled and quickly turned around to follow Yu Huo.
Strangely, there was no sound of pursuing footsteps behind him, and Mallory couldn't help but look back.
I caught a glimpse of the man taking out an ice-blue potion from his pocket and handing it to the beautiful snake girl beside him, who tilted her head back and drank it.
The next second, the beautiful snake bent backwards as if it had no bones, and when its head emerged from between its legs, it had already turned into a snake head. In a few breaths, a three-meter-long python stood upright in place.
Mallory was horrified by this scene: "Fuck!"
Ryan and Antoine turned their heads upon hearing this. Just then, a cold wind from an unknown source blew slowly past, and the fog was blown away to only a thin layer.
They saw the snake and the pairs of scarlet eyes hidden behind the mist. The huge bodies of the fallen beasts were like hills, and there were dozens of them.
The man's mental fluctuations began to spread through the air, causing pain in their spines.
Then, a roar was heard, and the chase officially began.
Ryan and Antoine cursed in unison, wishing they could step on a pair of Hot Wheels.
Ryan: "Why are there so many fallen beasts? Are they trying to kill me?"
Antoine: "I don't want to die. I haven't spent all the money in my card yet!"
Mallory had the worst physical condition. At this time, he had no extra energy to complain to them. He could only grit his teeth and run for his life.
Gradually, everyone stopped talking because they found that even if they tried their best, they could not catch up with Yu Huo, and the distance between them was even getting bigger, which made them feel more and more urgent.
Soon, Yu Huo and his friends met classmates who were coming towards them.
Before they could show any doubtful expressions, Yu Huo was the first to shout loudly: "Run, there are fallen beasts behind us!"
At first, everyone was reluctant to believe it, but when they saw Yu Huo turn on the locator to exit the assessment, they instantly lost their composure.
Everyone knew how important this assessment was. If they quit at this time, something life-threatening must have happened. The few remaining doubts suddenly disappeared, and they turned on the locator and ran.
On the other side, Teacher Meili was leaning lazily against a tree trunk, playing with a short blade without a sheath because she was too bored waiting.
The male teacher with gauze wrapped around his head glanced at her and said, "Be careful! If you get hurt, the bloody smell will attract poisonous insects. Don't get into trouble!"
Teacher Meili raised her hand to catch the dagger, creating a beautiful knife pattern in mid-air. She sneered, "Oh, are you still angry?"
When the male teacher heard this, the back of his head ached. He raised the baseball bat in anger and said, "You brought up these black-hearted brats!"
Teacher Meili tutted, "You're not as skilled as the other person, and you still have the nerve to hold a grudge?"
The male teacher was about to retort when suddenly, a series of alarms sounded from his electronic watch. This sudden change made him subconsciously stop talking: "What's going on? Why did so many people withdraw from the assessment?"
Teacher Meili had never seen such a scene before and looked skeptical: "Is your tracking system malfunctioning?"
Even if she set the assessment to hell level, there wouldn't be so many people quitting the assessment at the same time!
The male teacher was worried, so he threw down his baseball bat and went into the tent not far behind him. Teacher Meili also ran in and looked towards the projector with concern.
There were only flashing red dots all over it. Those red dots were not waiting in the same place, but were returning along the way in unison.
The male teacher's breath hitched. "Did we encounter any ferocious beasts? I remember we just checked before the test..."
