Ascension

Chapter 102 The Creeper in the Moonlight

As dusk draws near, the sky is still as red as drunk.

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

In the distance, a curl of cooking smoke rises.

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

"The third team is actually stationed in this valley?"

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

The sixth team regrouped according to the agreement, sat around a campfire and enjoyed a rare leisure time together.

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

"Master Han, how is their condition? Compared with us, which one is better or worse?"

Zhao Li watched for a while, sat down, and asked excitedly.

These three days, they have been participating in the trial according to Master Han's rhythm, very busy and fulfilling.

However, without other teams as a comparison, they have no way to be sure that the growth of the sixth team must be far ahead.

Mr. Yehan glanced over the four people beside him, and smiled lightly.

Hunting alone all day is by no means an easy task for fledgling students.

Huang Dengshan, Zhang Wu, together with Big Eyed Deer and Iron Wolf.

Both of the two men and beasts had moderate injuries, with bandages tied to several parts, and they were disheveled and embarrassed for a while.

Although Zhao Li and the broom ghost were not injured, they were just exhausted.

But her clothes were tattered, if Su Mei hadn't borrowed her a set, she was destined to make a fool of herself.

As for Samui...

Her face was pale, and she was warming herself by the blazing bonfire.

Everything was going well, but unexpectedly, on the way back to meet up, they were accidentally attacked by a small clay sculpture "Ice Snake".

Although only a little bit of cold poison entered the body, the antidote pills were taken in time to get rid of it.

But within an hour or two, her body and bones will be a little weak, and it is normal to be listless.

"Four residual blood, one half disabled but not disabled."

Mr. Yehan gave a fair evaluation and said objectively:

"However, their state is too extreme, and it is difficult to parry when encountering sudden danger."

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

This is true.

The third team is always tense and can't sleep well at night.

The sixth team, probably because of his care, the sleep of the four is getting better and better than the other.

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

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

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

On weekdays, it is still the little transparency in the little transparency.

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

After four days, the trial was over.

If she can really win the first place, this achievement means a lot to her.

"Gah..."

The pink ostrich, which is still full of energy during the day, is lying on the ground, dozing off while gnawing on the peel.

It has not survived much in the wild, but its performance these days is remarkable, and the survival instinct hidden in its blood is not bad.

However, it is not superhuman, it will also be injured, and it will also be exhausted.

Before it finished eating the peel, its head drooped, leaning against Su Mei's lap, and passed out with a gurgling sound.

"Rest early."

Lord Yehan pointed to the cave behind him and said calmly.

He was also a little tired.

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

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

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

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

"This night, watch the night in turn, and the bonfire does not need to be extinguished."

"Su Mei, Zhao Li, Huang Dengshan, Zhang Wu, in this order, three hours each."

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

Yawning, Lord Yehan walked into the cave first.

At the point closest to the entrance, spread dry grass and dead leaves, and lie down with clothes on.

As soon as Huazhu sat down with her knees hugged, she found that Ye Hanjun's breathing became longer, and she fell asleep immediately.

She was slightly taken aback, then buried her head down, and recovered her witch power by closing her eyes and meditating.

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

"Yeah, although the recovery is slower, but the vigilance has not decreased too much, if there is danger approaching, I will wake up immediately..."

Zhang Wu and Zhao Li lowered their voices with emotion.

This trick sounds simple, but it is too difficult to achieve.

God knows how Assistant Professor Han, who was the same age as them, mastered this kind of survival skills that can only be mastered by experienced hunters.

"Ugh..."

Iron wolf and big-eyed deer lay down with their masters.

Wait until Zhao Li is also lying on the hay and try to fall asleep.

The cave suddenly became quiet, except for the breathing of humans and beasts, there was only the faint sound of the mist condensing into water and dripping continuously.

……

"Ow-woo!"

"Quack - quack quack!!"

As the night darkened, many nocturnal creatures lived in the valley after all.

Cyan wolf, queer frog, earth rock rat... The rustling sounds kept coming.

Holding a long sword, Su Mei sat at the entrance of the cave, only five meters away from Master Han.

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

Three hours...all in peace.

When Zhao Li was woken up and was on duty for a shift change, there were several extremely shrill roars suddenly heard from the cliff in the distance.

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

There are still faint bloodshot eyes in his eyes. Obviously, three hours of sleep is far from enough to fully restore body functions.

But he showed an uncommon solemn look, quickly got up, 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 will it be?"

Su Mei originally thought that she could finally rest.

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

"It's too far away to say."

Mr. Ye Han shook his head, and then showed a strange expression.

With the help of the bright moonlight, he could see the silhouette of monsters roaring towards the sky on the cliff.

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

In the next second, the monsters jumped off the cliff and climbed quickly on the cliff, as agile and swift as a spider.

They rushed into the valley and spread out in several strands. Wherever they passed, the canopy of the trees shook, and flocks of birds fluttered their wings.

Immediately afterwards, there were continuous screams of wild beasts.

As if no living beings could stop their slaughter, the shrill and desperate cries echoed in the lonely night.

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

"Get up, get ready to fight!"

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

Huang Dengshan and Zhang Wu, who had fallen into a deep sleep, were startled and finally woke up from the dream.

By shaking their heads, they forcibly swept away the drowsiness.

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

"The number is not large, but the strength is very strong."

"There is a wave moving towards us, all the staff light the torches! The highest posture of combat readiness!"

"Yes!"

Experienced the airborne wolf lair incident, coupled with the actual exploration in the past few days.

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

Although, panic is inevitable.

However, after making some adjustments and uniting with their respective contracted spirits, the four formed a defensive formation and were fully armed.

"Blood...the taste of blood...death!"

A black shadow came galloping, running like a hyena.

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

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

"boom!!"

The desert witch who took a step forward gathered the sand into a shield to immediately block the monster rushing forward.

As the shield shattered, the monster retreated dozens of steps.

The momentum was suspended, and the true appearance of the monster was exposed to the eyes of Su Mei, Zhao Li and others, and the sound of gasping for air rang out at the same time.

"Creepers? The trial site... there are creepers?!"

The monster that appeared in front of everyone, like the Jumping Corpse, has the appearance of a human being.

The difference is that it is more than two meters long and has a more burly physique.

It has claws on all fours, grabbing the ground and running.

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

The pectoral and abdominal muscles are particularly well developed, as if they were chiseled out by a knife, and they are closely arranged one by one, giving people a strange sense of perfection.

"die!!!"

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

On the blood-red skeleton, there was only a mouth that occupied half the size. The sharp teeth were stained with scarlet blood. There was also a half-meter-long tongue, which kept protruding from its mouth like a python spitting out letters.

With a roar, Mr. Yehan clearly felt that he was being watched.

The creeper climbed to the ground at an extremely fast speed, trying to bypass the desert witch, and rushed straight in front of him.

Although it doesn't have 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 crawler made of clay.

And this kind of corpse clan belonging to the spirit of the underworld is the most ferocious and murderous.

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

Master Han...can he deal with it?

Suddenly, Zhao Li became less confident.

"Dead!! Die!!!"

Not far away, the shadow roared.

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

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

As a younger brother, how could he compete with his elder brother for food.
