671 Entering the Forbidden Area; Confidence!
The higher-ups of the Xia Alliance could already see the scene of the mutated beasts rampaging and causing a terrifying disaster.
The entire conference room was silent.
“Aren’t we being a bit too hasty in letting the top 500 students from Jiangbei, Xia, and West universities into Forbidden Area No. 2?”
“After all, they’re the future of Earth. If they all die there, it’ll be a huge loss for Earth.”
Some people nodded in agreement.
Xue Zhan, who was sitting at the top, said, “How can you grow without going through the wind and rain? This is training for them.
“In addition, Hu Yixiao, Liu Qi, and my master, Yu Feng, have all gone to Forbidden Area No. 2. They will try their best to protect the students.”
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
Hu Yixiao, Liu Qi, and Yu Feng… The first two were the chiefs of the Xia Alliance, while the last one was the master of the three chiefs—a legendary figure!
The three of them were ranked sixth, fourth, and second respectively on the Strength Rankings.
Since they were protecting the students, the danger level would naturally be much lower.
However, Xue Zhan’s expression did not relax at all.
He was an expert ranked third on the Strength Rankings. He knew very well how terrifying Forbidden Area No. 2 was.
He silently prayed in his heart that everyone would be able to get through this crisis.
…
The M5 aircraft drew a beautiful arc in the air.
About half an hour later, it slowly descended.
The students got off the flying vehicle and saw a red forest in the distance.
It was scarlet and strange!
It made people flinch.
Some students even had the intention to retreat.
At this moment, a tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared in front of the students with a strong gust of wind.
It was Hu Yixiao, one of the chiefs of the Xia Alliance.
When the students saw him, their hearts could not help but race.
Then, they bowed in unison and said, “Greetings, Chief!”
Hu Yixiao ignored the students.
He stared at the red forest with his sharp eyes.
After a while, he said, “Qin Feiyu, Wang Qiang, Liu Baohua… Follow me into Forbidden Area No. 2. The rest of you will lead the students and follow behind.”
“Yes, Sir!” everyone said in unison.
Then, Hu Yixiao took the lead and entered Forbidden Area No. 2.
Li Ke and the rest of the invigilators said loudly, “Everyone, keep up. Don’t run around, don’t fall behind, and don’t touch anything in the forbidden area—including trees!”
“Yes, Sir!” the students said.
The students were curious and nervous.
Finally, everyone slowly walked into Forbidden Area No. 2.
Outside, everyone could not sense anything unusual about the forbidden area at all.
However, the moment they stepped into the forbidden area, they wre greeted by a wave of heat.
As they breathed in, their blood began to boil.
“My strength seems to be increasing.”
“My special ability seems to be about to break through.”
“It’s so hot, ah!”
“My strength is constantly increasing!”
…
Everyone discussed and praised in low voices as they slowly moved forward.
At this moment, a tree branch kept swaying above the head of a student in a black T-shirt, making him a little annoyed. He raised his hand and tried to break it.
Suddenly, the tree seemed to come alive as its branches grew.
In the blink of an eye, the student in the black T-shirt was wrapped up like a dumpling.
He kept struggling in the tree branch, but it was useless. He could only shout, “Help! Teacher, help!”
An examiner with a buzz cut jumped up, drew the flexible sword at his waist, and swung it several times.
After a while, the student in the black T-shirt emerged safely from the branch.
However, this action seemed to have completely infuriated the red trees.
The surrounding red trees shook violently, and branches grew crazily, as if they wanted to surround and kill everyone here.
Another examiner quickly played the music.
It was gentle and ethereal.
Soon, the red trees stopped shaking and slowly regained their calm.
Seeing this…
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
“Didn’t I tell you not to touch anything in the forbidden area?!” the chief examiner shouted.
The student in the black T-shirt lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
“Alright, since no one is injured, let’s continue,” an examiner said.
The group continued to move forward.
On the way, the students learned their lesson and did not dare to touch anything.
However, there were many holes on the ground and the corpses of mutated beasts. It was extremely bloody.
Clearly, a battle had occurred here not long ago.
Many centipedes with scarlet eyes suddenly emerged from the ground.
They were ferocious and terrifying!
“All students, prepare for battle. Kill the Armored Centipedes!” the examiner standing at the front said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and swung his saber.
One of the Armored Centipedes broke into two.
Even so, it was still twisting its body with all its might.
When the students heard this, they also began to attack the centipedes.
These Armored Centipedes were clearly not very powerful.
In the beginning, some students were almost injured.
However, after a while, they found the rhythm of the battle. Under the joint efforts of the few of them, they quickly killed one Armored Centipede after another.
At this moment, a ten-meter-long giant centipede suddenly emerged from the ground.
Its legs were as sharp as steel blades.
When it saw the students, it was as if it had seen the enemy who had killed its own descendants or as if it had seen a group of fat sheep. It opened its ferocious mouth and shot at the students.
The three examiners standing at the front reacted extremely quickly.
One of them turned his arm into a huge rock and punched out.
One of them spat out scorching flames.
One of them raised his saber and slashed down.
In the blink of an eye, the giant centipede was broken into several pieces and fell to the ground, emitting black smoke.
The students were both scared and excited at the same time.
This was the strength of the examiners!
When could they become so powerful?
Lin Fan asked Xia Xue, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” Xia Xue said.
“The examiners are awesome!” Li Dongqiang said. “Lin Fan, Xia Xue, when do you think we can become like them?”
Lin Fan said, “Become like them? I don’t think it’s possible.”
Lin Fan was not lying.
That was because his current strength had long surpassed theirs.
How could he become like them?
Li Dongqiang thought that Lin Fan was not confident. He put his hand on his shoulder and said, “Don’t be discouraged. As long as we work hard, there will definitely be no problem!”
At this moment, a loud sound suddenly erupted from the depths of the mangroves.
The mangroves jumped up and down.
A gust of wind blew across, and everyone’s clothes and hair rustled.
Li Ke and the other examiners turned around and looked into the depths of the mangrove forest. Their faces were filled with solemnity and horror.
