Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

"Now you're really in trouble."

What else is there to say? The Dark Eroder doesn't seem to have any intention of negotiating at all. What else can we do...?

Negotiations have broken down! Prepare for a decisive attack!

Gu Chen now clearly knows one thing: the negotiations have broken down.

So what can we do now?

There's only one way: when two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave will prevail!

Let's give it our all!

spell!

Gu Chen took a deep breath and slightly raised the short knife in his left hand.

"My lord, I'm truly innocent! I was just accidentally dragged into this mess. I know nothing about it, and I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to live a peaceful life!"

"I knew absolutely nothing about the Antinoya family's arrangements or anything else! It was all just an accident!"

"...Look at the airplane!"

Gu Chen looked panicked and rattled off a string of pleas for mercy, but then he changed the subject and uttered a strange phrase!

Then he suddenly pointed!

This finger strike was powerful and heavy, delivered with all the force of the body!

But then it suddenly stops in mid-air, creating a dramatic tension that involuntarily draws the viewer's attention!

Add to that the strange, nonsensical word "airplane" that came out of his mouth, and it's no wonder that the Dark Eroder's gaze would be drawn to it!

Gu Chen's finger pointed in a direction that was somewhat inexplicable to both of them in the distance!

"Um?"

The Dark Eroder was immediately puzzled.

"brush!"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Chen hurled a short knife with his left hand! The blade traced an arc in the air, not heading towards the Dark Eroder, but towards a stone beam at the top of the stone roof!

Gu Chen observed for a long time. He never gave up the idea of ​​struggling to survive. From the moment the Dark Eroder entered, Gu Chen carefully observed his surroundings, trying to find a way out!

Jim was still waiting for him outside. His student needed his protection. He couldn't contact Ken either and had no idea what had happened. If something happened to Ken, wouldn't something definitely happen to Jim too?

How could I give up!

Do not!

He cannot fall.

He still has students he hasn't protected, and he still has students he hasn't taught!

He came into this world all alone, and at first he only thought about struggling to survive. Now Gu Chen has someone to care about. Whether it's out of the desire to survive or his sense of responsibility to his students, he can't fall down!

This stone beam looked shaky and loose, but Gu Chen had long kept it in his heart!

This is an opportunity!

Although I don't know how high the chances of success are, it's still an opportunity!

"Snap!"

The dagger struck precisely at the junction of the stone beam and the wall, instantly shattering the already decaying joint! The massive stone beam, carrying rubble and dust, crashed down, landing squarely on the Dark Eroder's head!

Then, a chain reaction occurred!

The stone slab beneath Gu Chen's feet suddenly flipped downwards, revealing a dark hole.

"A secret passage or something?"

"Never mind that, let's go!"

Without hesitation, Gu Chen jumped in!

Whether it's a secret passage or something else, ultimately, he didn't have many other options!

Let's make that choice!

Rush!

"A trivial skill."

The Dark Eroder didn't even look up at the falling stone beam. With a casual wave of its hand, dense darkness surged upwards, steadily supporting the several-ton stone beam, and then gently placed it aside without making a loud noise.

He walked to the edge of the cave and looked down.

The passage here is very deep...

It was pitch black, but for him, darkness was the best field of vision.

"You think you can escape by hiding underground?"

The Dark Eroder sneered, its figure transforming into a black shadow as it drifted into the cave.

The secret passage wound downwards, damp and cold inside, with slippery moss growing on the walls.

The air was filled with a musty smell and a faint fishy odor...

Gu Chen stumbled and ran in the darkness. He could only run forward; he had no other choice but to run forward as fast as he could.

"Run forward, don't look back..."

Gu Chen ran forward with all his might, forward, he could only run forward...

I don't know what's ahead, but behind me is the real Grim Reaper coming to claim my life!

"Still behind me..."

He could sense that the Dark Eroder was not far behind him, following him like a shadow.

The passageway grew narrower and narrower, and the terrain became increasingly lower.

"Splash..."

suddenly!

Gu Chen heard a very distinct sound: the sound of flowing water!

It's the sound of flowing water!

The sound of water here is like a symphony of hope!

What does the sound of water mean?

This means there is a water source ahead!

The sound of flowing water indicates one thing—it's an underground river!

Gu Chen was overjoyed!

"Could my luck finally be turning around?!"

Where there is water, the terrain is often complex, which may help one escape pursuit.

He ran even faster, just kidding, of course he had to run as fast as he could to survive!

Finally, Gu Chen burst out of the corner from which the sound of water came!

Suddenly, everything became clear.

This is a huge underground cave with countless stalactites hanging from the ceiling and a wide underground river on the ground. The river water is dark green and glows with an eerie luminescence under the dim light of the unknown minerals on the cave walls.

The river was swift and the sound of the water was deafening.

On the other side of the river, Gu Chen saw an unexpected sight.

This sight filled him with immense joy!

Not far ahead, there was a small, makeshift dock, and a dilapidated wooden boat was moored beside it.

Behind the dock, one can vaguely see man-made steps extending upwards and disappearing into the darkness deep within the cave.

Most importantly, Gu Chen saw a familiar symbol at the entrance of those steps!

It was a golden oak leaf!

I've only seen this marking in one place!

Golden Oak Forest!

"Isera?"

Without a doubt, that was Ysera's mark!

Gu Chen's spirits lifted. Although he didn't know why, it seemed that Ysera had left a backup plan here!

Without hesitation, he rushed to the riverbank, used the fastest hands he had ever used to untie the ropes of the small wooden boat, and then jumped onto the boat!

Despite the fact that his body had undoubtedly reached its limit, Gu Chen was still unwilling to give up!

He rowed with all his might, and the wooden boat began to sway and drift toward the other side.

"Huffing and puffing..."

Just as he was about to reach the shore—

"Splash!"

The Dark Eroder suddenly rose from the river!

He stood on the water, and the darkness beneath his feet actually solidified into a platform where he could stand and walk!

Even the turbulent river could not shake it in the slightest.

"A decent escape route," the Dark Eroder said, looking at Gu Chen with his voice still calm. "Unfortunately, it ends here."

He extended his right hand, his five fingers pointing towards the small wooden boat where Gu Chen was, and gently clenched his fist.
