The Ascension of the Favorite Spirit

Dusk is approaching, and the sky is still red.

The slow evening breeze brings the fragrance of vegetation, and the earth bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun is also coated with an intoxicating blush.

In the distance, smoke rises from the kitchen.

The gently swaying green smoke is one of the only human smoke in the empty valley.

The third team is also stationed in this valley?

That's the team led by Miss Xinfei. I wonder how this proud young lady has been these past few days?

Team 6, who had regrouped as agreed, sat around a bonfire and enjoyed the rare leisure time together.

Looking at the wisp of smoke, it seems that it is not very far away from us, only four or five miles away...

Master Han, how are they doing? Compared to us, who are better or worse?

Zhao Li looked at it for a while, sat down, and asked excitedly.

In the past three days, they had always participated in the trials according to Master Han's rhythm, which was very busy and fulfilling.

However, without other teams for comparison, they could not be sure that the growth of the sixth team would be far ahead.

Lord Ye Han glanced at the four people beside him and smiled lightly.

Hunting independently for a whole day is by no means an easy task for a budding student.

Huang Shandenfeng and Zhang Wu, together with Big-eyed Deer and Iron Wolf.

Both of them were injured to a moderate degree, with bandages on several parts. They looked disgraced and embarrassed.

Although Zhao Li and Broomstick were not injured, they were just exhausted.

But her clothes were in tatters, and if Su Mei hadn't borrowed one from her, she would have been doomed to make a fool of herself.

As for Samui...

Her face was pale and she was warming herself by the hot campfire.

Everything was going smoothly, but on the way back to the rendezvous, they were unexpectedly attacked by an Ice Snake made of clay.

Although only a small amount of cold poison entered the body, I took antidote pills in time to eliminate it and relieve it.

But within an hour or two, it's normal for her body to feel a little weak and mentally apathetic.

Four have residual blood, and one is half-disabled.

Ye Hanjun gave a fair evaluation and said objectively:

However, their condition is too extreme and they are unable to withstand sudden dangers.

We still have a little leeway. If we take a short rest, we will be able to adjust to a better mental outlook immediately.

This is true.

The third team was always nervous and had trouble sleeping at night.

Team Six, probably because of his care, the sleep of the four of them was sweeter than the last.

In this way, the third team can hold on in a short time.

Once the timeline is extended, their fragile bodies and minds may not be able to withstand it.

That's good, that's good! Zhao Li looked excited.

On weekdays, I am still a little transparent within a little transparent.

For this trial, I was lucky enough to team up with Master Han.

The trial ended after four days.

If she can really win the first place, this achievement will be of great significance to her.

Gah...

The pink ostrich, which was still energetic during the day, lay on the ground, nibbling on the peel and taking a nap.

It has not survived much in the wild, but its performance in the past few days has been remarkable. The survival instinct hidden in its blood is pretty good.

However, it is not a trivial creature. It can also get injured and get tired.

Before it finished eating the peel, its head drooped down, leaning on Su Mei's thigh, and fell asleep with a stream of laughter.

Get some rest early.

Ye Hanjun pointed to the cave behind him and said calmly.

He was also a little tired.

After running around all day, this body also needs sleep to recover properly.

Master Han, do you want to put out the bonfire? Huang Shanshan asked.

Campfires can bring warmth to people while resting in the wild, and can also deter wild beasts that are afraid of light and fire.

But there are also monsters who are not afraid of death, attracted by light and heat, and they are half good and half bad.

This night, we take turns keeping vigil, and the bonfire does not need to be extinguished.

Su Mei, Zhao Li, Huang Dengden and Zhang Wu, in this order, three hours each.

I can wake up at any time, you don't have to worry about me, just go to sleep first.

Yawning, Ye Hanjun walked into the cave first.

Place hay and dead leaves on the floor closest to the entrance, and lie down in your clothes.

As soon as Hua Zhu sat down with her knees in her arms, she noticed that Ye Hanjun's breathing became longer and he fell into sleep all of a sudden.

She was stunned for a moment, then buried her head and recovered her witchcraft power by closing her eyes and resting her mind.

When will I learn how to rest like Master Han...

Yes, although the recovery is slower, the alertness has not decreased too much. If danger approaches, you will wake up immediately...

Zhang Wu and Zhao Li sighed with emotion in lowered voices.

This trick sounds simple, but it is really difficult to implement.

God knows how Assistant Han, who is the same age as them, masters such survival skills that only experienced hunters can master.

Woo...

The iron wolf and the big-eyed deer followed their master and lay down.

Wait until Zhao Li also lies on the hay and tries to fall asleep.

The cave suddenly became quiet. Apart from the faint breathing of humans and animals, there was only the faint sound of mist condensing into water and dripping.

…

Oooh-ooh!

Quack-quack quack!!

The night is getting darker, and after all, there are many nocturnal creatures living in the valley.

Green wood wolves, strange screaming frogs, rock rats... rustling sounds kept coming.

Su Mei, holding a long sword, was sitting at the entrance of the cave, only five meters away from Master Han.

Because the pink ostrich fell asleep, she watched the shaking woods more vigilantly, ready to wake up her teammates at any time.

Three hours... peacefully.

When Zhao Li was woken up and the shift was changing, several extremely shrill roars suddenly came from the cliff in the distance.

Lord Yehan's eyes opened quietly in the flickering firelight.

There was still a faint bloodshot under his eyes, and it was obvious that three hours of sleep was far from enough to fully restore body functions.

But he showed an unusually solemn look, stood up quickly, and looked at the source of the sound.

One, two, three, four, five... at least ten murderous auras broke into the valley...

What kind of spirit could it be?

Su Mei originally thought that she could finally rest.

Seeing Master Han's appearance, she had bad thoughts, her expression became extremely alert, and she asked cautiously.

It's too far away to tell.

Ye Hanjun shook his head, and then showed a strange look.

With the bright white moonlight, he could see the outline of a row of monsters roaring toward the sky on the cliff.

It is definitely not in the form of a normal animal, it is a bit like a deformed creature, ferocious, dark, evil, and chilling.

The next second, the monsters jumped off the cliff and climbed quickly on the cliff, as agile and fast as spiders.

They rushed into the valley and dispersed in several groups. Wherever they passed, the tree crowns shook and birds flapped their wings and flew high.

Immediately afterwards, the screams of wild beasts continued to sound.

It was as if no living thing could stop their slaughter, and their shrill and desperate cries echoed in the lonely night.

Zhao Li and Su Mei looked at each other and subconsciously swallowed, feeling uneasy.

Everyone get up and prepare to fight!

Ye Hanjun shouted in a deep voice, suddenly lit a torch and held it tightly in his hand.

Huang Shanshan and Zhang Wu, who fell into deep sleep, were startled and finally woke up from their dreams.

They shake their heads to force away sleepiness.

Then he grabbed the weapon and hurriedly stood behind Lord Ye Han, looking left and right, looking for the source of danger.

They are not many in number, but they are very powerful.

There is a force moving towards us, everyone lights the torch! Highest combat readiness posture!

yes!

I have experienced the incident of parachuting into the Wolf's Lair, plus the actual exploration in the past few days.

The mentality of the four students has improved tremendously compared to before.

Although, panic is inevitable.

However, they made some adjustments and combined with their respective contracted spirits, the four of them formed a defensive formation, fully armed.

Blood...the smell of blood...die, die, die!

A black shadow came quickly, running like a hyena.

The students were unable to capture the specific appearance of the monster moving at high speed.

But Ye Hanjun saw clearly, and lowered his body's center of gravity again, ready to dodge backward at any time.

boom!!

The desert witch took a step forward and gathered sand into a shield, immediately blocking the monster that rushed towards her.

As the shield shattered, the monster took dozens of steps back.

The momentum was suspended, and the true appearance of the monster was exposed to the eyes of Su Mei, Zhao Li and others, and gasps sounded at the same time.

Creepers? There are crawlers in the trial site?!

The monsters that appeared in front of everyone, like the jumping zombies, all had human appearances.

The difference is that its body is more than two meters long and its body is more burly.

It has claws on its limbs and claws at the ground.

There is no skin on the body, and the arms and legs are covered with dark red fascia and muscles.

The chest muscles and abdominal muscles are particularly developed, as if they were chiselled with a knife. They are closely arranged one by one, giving people a strange sense of perfection.

die!!!

The monster has a human head, but no hair and no eyes.

On the blood-red skeleton, there is only a mouth that takes up half the size. The sharp teeth are stained with scarlet blood, and there is a half-meter-long tongue, which is constantly protruding from its mouth like a python spitting out messages.

With a roar, Ye Hanjun clearly felt that he was being stared at.

The crawler climbed on the ground at an extremely fast speed, trying to bypass the Desert Witch and rush directly in front of him.

Although it has no organs like eyes, its desire for blood and human flesh is obvious.

Zhao Li, who was not the target of the attack, felt a chill.

In terms of size and speed, this is a clay-sculpted crawler.

And this kind of corpse clan belonging to the underworld's favored spirits is the most cruel and murderous.

Unless it can be restrained, the crawler is often the only survivor at the same level and is very difficult to defeat.

Master Han...can he handle it?

Suddenly, Zhao Li became less confident.

Die!! Die!!!

Not far away, a black shadow roared.

Two more crawlers rushed over. Judging from their size, they should be small clay sculptures.

They didn't care about Lord Ye Han, because in their cognitive system, the first crawler had already chosen him.

How can the younger brother compete with the older brother for food?
