"Competition..."
Alicia was thoughtful.
"These two days should be relatively peaceful."
"But on the last day, the real melee will begin. I hope not too many people will die in this forest this year..."
"...I hope so."
Unfortunately, this wish is unlikely to come true.
After exploring during the day, Hulim had discovered something.
That is the area designated as the examination venue. The number of monsters and the degree of danger are much higher than normal.
It is obvious that the college has artificially increased the difficulty.
In this situation, a considerable number of people will not be able to collect enough magic crystals on their own.
Then at the last moment, it will inevitably turn into a large-scale melee...
“Hu~, hu~…”
A soft snoring sound came from my ears.
"Miko?"
“Hu~, hu~.”
Miko didn't answer, and the only response to Hulim was her slightly rising and falling breathing.
“… …”
"... ...fell asleep."
The two of them looked quietly at Miko, who was lying on the ground with a happy smile on his face, as if he was having a sweet dream.
No more disturbing her.
A few minutes later.
Hulim stood up from the ground.
"Let's rest today and recharge our batteries so we can continue exploring deeper tomorrow."
"good."
Alicia also stood up.
The two carefully carried Miko into the cave, gently placed her in the bedding, and covered her with a blanket.
Miko lay in bed, his lips moving as he talked in his sleep.
"I can't eat anymore."
Hulim smiled, rubbed her ears gently with her hands, and said softly:
"Good night, Miko."
Puff~, puff~.
Miko's ears moved in his sleep.
Then there was another slight ups and downs of breathing sound...
After settling Miko,
Hulim walked lightly to the entrance of the cave, picked up the Seven Stars and gently pounded them on the ground.
Buzz~!
A barrier slowly rose at the entrance of the cave.
The light from the campfire that originally came out of the cave also disappeared into the forest at this moment, and darkness once again occupied the land.
... ...
Outside the Monster Forest.
Figures were standing quietly.
After a while, a man wearing a black robe and covering his head with a hood walked out of the forest.
"You're late."
"We can't let them get suspicious."
The hooded man in black robes spoke, then took out a scroll and handed it to the other side.
"This is the distribution map of all magic circles."
A figure on the opposite side took the scroll and put it away.
Then he said slowly:
"The operation will begin at noon tomorrow."
"Then the fog will cover the forest, the path of departure will be lost underfoot, and the cage will imprison all the weak prey."
After that, the man took out a bottle containing a clear solution.
"You should know how to use it, right?"
"It's natural—"
The man in black robe reached out and took the bottle.
"...After all, I'm an expert in this area."
... ...
The next morning.
“Hmm~~!”
Miko was stretching in front of the cave.
"I slept so well last night~!"
Whoosh! Whoosh...
The dagger cut through the air, making a clear sound of breaking through the air.
"Yes, I'm full of energy today!"
After stretching his hands and feet, Mi Ke felt that the remaining sleepiness had completely gone away.
At this time, Hulim's voice came.
"Mike, get ready to come over for breakfast."
"good--"
"Coming right up!"
After breakfast.
The three of them packed their bags and continued to go deeper into the forest according to their plan from yesterday.
As the three of them continued to move forward.
The traces of other people left on the road became fewer and fewer, and later on they were almost non-existent.
The forest environment is becoming more and more complex.
There are more and more types of monsters, and they are getting stronger and stronger.
The tiny poisonous insects lurk underground and among leaves, and when their prey approaches, they immediately jump out and attack.
Various poisonous and even carnivorous plants are hidden on the road disguised as ordinary plants. If you approach them carelessly, you will encounter the toxins released and the sudden attack of vines...
boom!
A storm composed of countless wind blades swept through the trees.
The dense vines hanging down from the tree were directly crushed to pieces.
A large amount of green debris fell to the ground like raindrops.
It was accompanied by a few sparkling crystals.
“Hey, there are some here too?”
Miko bent down and reached out to pick up the crystals.
Just as his right hand was about to touch the crystal,
A dead leaf on the ground suddenly turned over, and a poisonous insect jumped towards Miko's right hand.
clang!
A flash of white light.
The poisonous insect's body was cut in half and fell to the ground, twisting constantly in its final struggle.
"I've already noticed you."
Mi Ke put away his dagger and put the magic crystal into his backpack.
Then asked:
"Hulim, which direction should we go next?"
Now there is a big cliff in front of the three of them.
You can't walk there, you can only go around from both sides or fly directly over.
