Chapter 78 Mainland Spy
Mingzhao didn't expect to get in so easily.
In her past life, she participated in a rare-level magic awakening instance, and her mission was to steal magic crystals from the den of an ice wolf.
The success rate for rare dungeons is as high as 60%, but the biggest risk is that the Ice Wolf may return at any time. She completed the mission without any major incidents.
However, she couldn't immediately see where the danger lay in this instance.
The unknown is the most terrifying thing, and Mingzhao was under extreme tension at this moment.
Stepping into the church, she felt as if she had entered another space.
The interior of the church is about 10 times larger than it appears from the outside.
It was decorated everywhere with pearls, shells, corals, and all kinds of jewels, making it very luxurious.
The wave-shaped sign was crystal clear, with faint outlines of ocean waves, and three large, shimmering silver characters were written on it:
【Poseidon Temple】.
Inside the palace, the number of marine inhabitants is about ten times that of the outside world.
Unlike the cold-water marine life you see outside, there are all kinds of creatures inside.
Ten different areas were distributed around the main hall. Mingzhao followed the instructions and walked to the left.
I found that the cold-water marine inhabitants who had been queuing earlier were all here, marked by a sign.
【Floating Iceland】.
Then I looked at the signs around me, such as "Volcano Island" and "Mangrove Island".
Mingzhao then realized that this great hall existed in another space.
The dilapidated church on the floating island she had just entered was one of the entrances.
Judging from this, the Temple of Poseidon probably has a total of ten entrances in various parts of the ocean!
Mingzhao had only a vague understanding of the magical abilities of the ocean dwellers in his previous life, but now, seeing the amazing structure of this great hall, he couldn't help but yearn for it!
About half an hour later, all the people queuing at the entrance had finished registering and sat down in their respective areas.
Mingzhao was originally sitting in a seat with empty seats on both sides, but two polar bear cubs of the same species as her saw her and came over excitedly to sit on either side of her.
"Hello? Where are you from? I've never seen any other polar bears with magical talent the same age as us on Floating Island. My name is Xiong Ba, and this is my twin brother Xiong Jiu. What's your name?"
Mingzhao is still unaware of where the extremely high mortality rate of this instance manifests, so she is extremely vigilant and acts with utmost caution.
But since the two bears were already asking her questions, it would be strange not to answer.
So she took out her identification, pointed to her throat, and shook her head.
Xiong Jiu: "Xiong Duoduo, hey, can't you speak properly? Did you come to take the entrance exam alone?"
Xiong Ba: "Don't you have any manners? Duoduo can't speak, but she still got the qualification certificate for the entrance exam. How touching!"
Xiong Jiu's face showed a look of sudden realization, and Er Xiong's expression towards Ming Zhao was full of sympathy and admiration.
Mingzhao felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at.
Fortunately, at that moment, the bell in the hall rang, drawing everyone's attention to the center of the stage.
An old walrus, its cheeks drooping almost to its chest, stood up. It wore a navy blue robe and a pointed hat of the same color. Tiny, unidentified minerals surrounded it like stars.
His voice was hoarse and deep, yet it possessed a unique charm that made people want to listen carefully.
"Good morning, my fellow hopefuls of the future of the ocean world! I am Xiang Canglan, the principal of the Poseidon Magic Academy. Welcome to the entrance examination for the Poseidon Magic Academy. I won't go into too much detail about the Poseidon Magic Academy, as I'm sure you are already quite familiar with it. Now, let's begin."
Thunderous applause erupted from all around. Seeing the excitement and anticipation on the faces of the ocean dwellers, Mingzhao guessed that the Sea God Magic Academy was truly prestigious among them.
Beside Principal Xiang Canglan, a seahorse that looked very serious, also dressed in a robe and pointed hat, appeared and took out a dark blue stone.
He threw the stone into the middle, and the stone rose directly into the air and hovered in mid-air.
Looking closely at the stone, Mingzhao discovered that its interior was unfathomably deep, and looking at it for a while gave him the feeling that his soul was being sucked away.
Although activating [Clear Vision] might allow her to see the stone more clearly, she felt it was best not to do anything unnecessary in the face of unknown rules.
As Mingzhao was thinking this, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd.
Several sea lions dressed in blood-red robes suddenly entered the crowd on the mangrove island and dragged out a tuna that was struggling desperately.
"Reporting to the principal, reporting to Director Ma, we have discovered a spy from the mainland."
In an instant, all the eyes of the ocean dwellers were fixed on that tuna.
"You've got it wrong. I don't know anything about mainland spies. Look closely, I'm a tuna!"
The tuna bounced in the sea lions' hands, arguing loudly.
Principal Xiang Canglan's originally kind face suddenly twisted, and she stared at it fiercely, her voice more stern than ever before.
"With such obvious fluctuations in inferior skills from the mainland, you still dare to argue!"
"Get rid of them quickly! How can we let spies from the mainland infiltrate on such an important day!"
The sea lion leading the group nodded and placed its paw on the tuna's head. Before the tuna could react, its eyes instantly lost their life force.
It collapsed to the ground and became a dead fish.
Xiong Jiu: "The school's law enforcement team is so cool, I want to join them too."
Xiong Ba: "You? Everyone knows that the enforcement team only wants the most elite graduates. I think you should give up on that idea."
A red king crab nearby joined their conversation.
“These mainland spies have been too rampant lately, daring to openly appear in the Sea God Magic Academy. Everyone knows this is a heavily guarded place.”
Mingzhao could no longer hear what they were discussing after that; at that moment, she only felt a chill run through her body.
She finally understood where the high mortality rate of this instance lay.
In this instance where the duration is unknown, players must remain vigilant at all times to prevent the ocean dwellers from discovering their identities.
Language, unintentional actions, props, skills, weapons...
Anything can easily expose her.
After spending a long time in a voyage game, these things become part of the player; only by staying vigilant at all times can one avoid being discovered.
Mingzhao felt her heart pounding wildly. In order not to be noticed by the surrounding sea dwellers, she tried her best to control the trembling of her body and the abnormality of her expression, and all the muscles in her body were tense.
Director Hai cleared his throat and took out a scroll.
"There has been a minor incident. Everyone must remain vigilant. Mainland spies are cunning and evil; we must not allow them to infiltrate us."
"The entrance exam will now begin. Those whose names are called, please stand in front of the Primal Stone. The instructors will select students based on your qualifications. Those who are not selected will fail the exam."
