Chapter 8: Facing the Fear of Demons Head-On
Ten days later.
Under the lush trees, the winding mountain path led a group of twenty students, all wearing Tianlan Magic High School uniforms, who stood at the edge of a cliff…
Lured by the magic equipment, they finally embarked on the journey to complete the bounty.
For ten days, they blazed trails, toiled day and night, crossed mountains and forests, enduring immense hardship.
The only thing to be thankful for was that they hadn't encountered any demons.
It was said to be only a "30-kilometer" journey.
But in reality, that was a straight line; after crossing mountains and ridges, it was far more than 30 kilometers!
Fortunately, after traversing the river valley and pushing through the tall weeds, everyone finally reached Hundred Grass Valley!
The scenery within the valley was pleasant; to the south was a palm-shaped lake, and to the north was a raised mountain pass.
The former lair of the One-Eyed Magic Wolf was at the mountain pass, easily visible from the center of Hundred Grass Valley.
And when they arrived, Mu Bai, that guy, also arrived with another group.
Mu Bai, after all, came from a "family," and the knowledge he possessed was clearly beyond what ordinary students could compare to. In this training, he successfully won over everyone in the team, and the girls worshipped him even more.
He truly deserved credit for their quick entry into Hundred Grass Valley this time.
However, they did not rush in recklessly.
After all, no one knew if the One-Eyed Magic Wolf still existed there.
When truly facing a demon, even top students might not be able to handle it.
After they met, Zhao Kun San spoke with a sneer, "Let's go, let's go in together. Light users, you finally have some use, Light up the bulbs!"
Although the Light students cursed inwardly, they couldn't deny that this was a reality for Lightin the early stages.
"Wind Element users, scout ahead. You have Wind Track, so even if you encounter something, you can retreat immediately." Mu Bai, as expected of someone from a "big family," knew how to properly allocate a team.
But they hadn't even taken a few steps inside when suddenly, a foul-smelling demonic wind surged out of the cave, violently striking the faces of the 40 students…
It felt like a huge wave was crashing over them; their hair and clothes were disheveled, and they could feel a spray of mist on their faces!
"Awoo~~~"
"Awoo~~~~~~!!!"
Suddenly, two terrifying cries echoed from deeper within the cave.
The moment the roars sounded, everyone instantly understood!
Oh my god, that was the saliva sprayed from the demon's mouth when it roared!!!
All 40 students froze, their bodies rigid.
The next second, their faces distorted, completely filled with fear from the depths of their hearts.
Demon!!!
It's a demon!!!!
They talked about demons constantly in school, and they had rehearsed countless times in their minds how they would bravely fight demons.
However, when they truly felt two greedy green gazes shoot from the depths of the cave, their minds went blank!
The Light mages' Light remained suspended in the air, illuminating the cave ahead.
A foot covered in green hair suddenly stepped out of the darkness, its sharp, blade-like claws sinking into the ground…
Immediately after, a head slowly extended, suddenly exposed in the area illuminated by the Light!!
Rows of jagged fangs abruptly appeared, and terrifying incisors dropped from the upper jaw to the lower jaw, exposed to the air, exposed to the students' eyes.
Green drool slowly dripped from these two saber-like fangs, clearly indicating how hungry this creature was at that moment!
A ferocious wolf head, a neck more powerful than an ordinary coyote, a body larger than a camel and covered in rock-hard muscles, and deep blue, needle-like hairs standing erect…
This demon stood before the 40 students, its green eyes completely looking down at a pile of delicious food delivered to it, greedy and indifferent!
"Run… run… run!!!!"
Someone yelled with a trembling voice.
The next second, this group of magic students transformed into startled wild birds, crashing and crowding in panic, stumbling as they fled out of the cave.
"Run, what are you standing there for?!" Zhang Xiao Hou saw that He Yu was already scared silly beside him and immediately grabbed the girl's arm without a word.
"Wind… Wind… Wind Track… Damn it!!"
Zhang Xiao Hou tried to complete the magic, but with his heart pounding wildly, his star-dust couldn't connect.
Normally, he could complete the star-path without a single mistake, and Zhang Xiao Hou himself felt that magic was already at his fingertips. However, when a terrifying demon was 20 meters away, he realized that everything he had learned was nonsense!
His usually obedient star-dust were like frightened fawns, colliding randomly within the students' star-dust. No one could cast magic at this moment; each of them was fleeing out of the cave purely by instinct.
"Fan Ge, Fan Ge, quick… quick, run!" Zhang Xiao Hou desperately dragged the terrified He Yu out of the cave.
Mo Fan was also slightly afraid.
To say he wasn't scared, to say he was calm, that would be pure nonsense.
It was like, in his previous life, a person encountering a large tiger in the mountains.
Even if you have the strength to take care of a tiger, you might still be tackled and bitten.
Of course, as Mo Fan ran, his mind slowly stabilized. Fortunately, it was a Summoning Beast. And Bai Yang, that traitor, was still a 'hidden' person.
This buffer was very important, because when a real demon charged, it wouldn't hesitate at all; it would definitely pounce.
"Oh my god, where's the rope?!"
"No, no, I don't want to die here!!"
"What's going on??" Mu Bai and Xu Zhaoting were still somewhat rational, but judging by their disheveled appearance, neither of them had cast any magic.
At least ten people had fainted in the cave, and the twenty-plus who escaped tried to slide down the rope.
However, the rope was gone!
Hearing the shouts outside, Mo Fan stopped running and instead turned his gaze to the pursuing Youlang Beast.
It was also at this moment that Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting, Zhou Min, and others successively cast their magic.
Immediately after, the others also cast their respective elementary magic.
But the destructive power of elementary magic was truly not much against this thick-skinned beast.
"Awoo~~~~!!!"
Another roar, and sand and stones flew up, instantly knocking several casters away.
