Arad's Sword

Chapter 10 The Invisible Threat

The huge crowns of countless towering trees cover the sky, the dense leaves leak a little bit of sunlight from the gaps, and the shadows are cast on the ground through the gaps in the trees.Although there were many teams entering Gran's Forest, when facing this huge monster, it seemed like gravel thrown into the sea, without even stirring up a little splash, it had completely sunk into the silent sea of ​​trees.

The fiery sun slowly set from the highest altitude, and finally sank below the horizon.

The sunset is a piece of burning clouds, which is the last passion of the sun.

"Let's stop here today." Fina said, turning her gaze to the black-haired young man, "Midi, what do you think?"

"You might as well go forward for another half an hour. Judging from the flow direction of this stream, we will soon reach the watershed. There will be a shelter from the wind and the water source is close. It is the most suitable place for camping."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." The red-haired girl nodded readily.

The trial has lasted for three days, and every decision made by Midi along the way has been proved to be correct afterwards, no matter in terms of route selection, camp site selection, security defense, water for food, and ease of escape. I can't find any faults, and what's even more impressive is that the speed of action is quite fast.

Of course, the other three were not rookies, they had already made sufficient preparations before, but compared with the years of adventurer experience of the reborn Midi, they only had admiration.

Spending a week in the wild without backup is quite stressful physically and mentally. After all, no matter how strong the students of the Academy of Magic are, they are not seasoned adventurers. Time to wake up naturally.Long journeys, bad food, poor rest environment, unknown dangers, these invisible pressures consume more than the battle itself.

But according to Midi's suggestion, the team can still retain enough power even after cleaning up the monster group.In Fina's words, "Even if the enemy comes to level 30, I will kill it for you."

And every time he camps at night, he will do it himself, choose a suitable location, ensure the quality of sleep, and take on the task of night watch alone.

After the first night, the Queen of Storms officially handed over the duty of guide to Midi.

This is recognition and trust, which is what Midi needs most.

Therefore, in the next trial, everything became very easy. The team members didn't even need to look at the map, as long as they followed Midi, they could reach the destination quickly.

In just three days, they have passed through eight ruins - goblin communities of various levels, tauren communities, cat demon communities, etc., as well as monster leaders who can cast different magics after being strongly mutated. Without any suspense, he fell under the swords and magic of everyone.

In terms of combat, the strongest is undoubtedly the Storm Queen.

Not to mention that Midi hides the ghost hand, even if it is used, it may not be able to gain much.Fina's title of "Magic Bullet Queen" is not just for fun. The most basic "Magic Missile" of the magician profession is in her hands. Combined with the power of talent, it is like a storm that runs through everything.

Most of the time, Midi and Lilian, who are melee fighters, hardly need to take a shot. As long as the gunner Sigmund is restrained, Fina's firepower alone can easily wipe out the entire monster group without taking a breath.

The academy's most difficult trial was almost like an outing, and judging from the current record, it must have left the other teams, including Fenrir, far behind.

However, Midi was not at ease.

Although this team can now walk sideways in Gran's Forest, the problem lies in the shadowy assassins.

Although he knew that the Academy of Magic couldn't leave the daughter of the Hamilton family alone, but the job changers in charge of monitoring were only around level 25 at most.But in memory, when the Seth family took action, they sent three level 28 assassins!

As soon as those assassins came up, they silently killed the protectors of the academy who followed secretly, and then used the terrain advantage to cut the team apart.One restrained Sigmund and Lilian, and the other two hit and dealt with the assassination target—Fina.

However, at that time, Fina showed amazing potential. Although she was only at level 21, she had already reached level 27 to 28 in terms of various abilities. Coupled with her extraordinary magic skills, she instantly killed her. An assassin, thus forming a one-on-one situation.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was too stupid at the time, only at level 16 and refused to obey orders, and only wanted to run, in that case, it was absolutely impossible for Fina to be injured by another assassin.

This time Midi also reached level 19, and got the ghost hand, which is a trump card when it explodes.

The problem is, reality has changed too.

If the trial was just a guess at the beginning, then after two nights of vigil, through the inspection of the traps arranged in advance, turning around to search for clues during the march, coupled with the intuition of the most experienced adventurers in the wilderness, Midi can already confirm that the assassin's level is higher than that of the previous life.

This made Midi feel even more stressed.

In the past three days, I have tried my best to reduce consumption, keep the team in a state of energy, and how much advantage can I accumulate bit by bit?

Midi kept thinking and calculating in her heart.

"Let me watch the night today. You have been watching the night for two consecutive nights." After a simple dinner, Sigmund made a suggestion.

"No, anyway, I didn't spend much energy in fighting during the day, so it's better to use it to watch at night." Midi politely refused.

"There's no need to persuade him, Sigmund. This guy is just a stubborn head, and he looks like he really wants to show off in front of Miss Fina. It's useless for you to worry about him." Lilian said eccentrically. , but revealed in the eyes, but not malicious, but a kind of provocative light.

As the most famous fighter of the future Falcon Group, Midi has experienced Lilian's suspicion in her previous life, so she doesn't mind.Besides, he also knew very well that the girl was not malicious, but had a venomous tongue. If she encountered a real enemy, Lilian would not show aggressiveness, but would keep silent, and then burst out suddenly, killing with one blow.

"Miss Fina, please persuade Midi." Regardless of Lilian's words, Sigmund turned to the leader of the team for help, "After all, we are a team."

But the red-haired girl smiled faintly and shook her head: "Sigmund, you have to believe that everyone in this team has the ability to manage their own bodies well."

Therefore, on the third night of the trial, it was still Midi's vigil.

When her companions were resting in the camp, Midi hid alone in the shadow of the rock, carefully concealed her body, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

This is not laziness, but a common practice of adventurers.Originally, at night, humans lacking night vision ability can't see anything, but closing their eyes can make the five senses more sensitive.Coupled with the various traps placed around the camp, as long as there is any trouble, Midi will wake up immediately and enter the fighting state instantly.

And after only a few hours, there was indeed something approaching, with a familiar and friendly atmosphere.

"Fina?" Midi opened her eyes and found that the red-haired girl was quietly groping towards her position.

"I thought you were asleep." Fina stuck out her tongue, showing the cuteness of a girl for a moment, and only when she was alone with Midi, she would occasionally become defenseless, "I didn't expect to be awake. "

"The vision of the human eye at night is extremely limited. It is better to close the eyes, which can not only preserve energy, but also sharpen the sense of hearing, smell, and intuition." Midi explained.

However, based on his understanding of the Queen of Storms, he knew that the other party definitely didn't come here for the purpose of accusing the teacher. If he really thought he was being lazy, Fina would come over and point out the problem on the first night.

"What are you worried about? If it's just a trial, there's no need to reach this level." As expected, Fina asked the core question directly.Although Midi concealed it very well, in the eyes of the red-haired girl who looks sassy but has a very delicate mind, she really can't hide it.

"Someone is following us." Midi thought for a while, and confessed her thoughts.

He originally planned to wait until he had a countermeasure before speaking about it, but now that the Queen of Storms had asked, Midi would naturally tell the truth.

"You mean the monitors sent by the academy?" Fina shrugged. "One is level 25 and the other is level 30. One is bright and the other is dark. Those two people?"

"No, there are other people. The level is at least level 30 and above. The number is unknown, but it is certain that they are coming for this team." Midi shook his head, a chill flashed in his eyes, "A group of typical assassins , In the middle of the night, they just keep watching to weaken our energy, and during the day is when they do it. The vision is good, and no one will escape. The question is when will they do it. "

"I see. No wonder every time I clean up the ruins, I always feel stared at by some kind of hostile eyes." Fina flicked her long hair and frowned unhappily, "Can you lock their positions? Instead of passively waiting, I want to take the initiative."

Midi shook her head with a wry smile. The Queen of Storms was still capricious as always, but at his current level, even if he was a ghost swordsman, it was still too difficult to find a professional assassin.

However, suddenly, an inspiration flashed into Midi's mind.

"Although it is difficult to lock down the assassin, there is a way that may allow us to strike first." Midi said, her eyes sparkling.
