Chapter 17: Dark Red Eyes, Rotten Monsters
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Early in the morning!
The magical beasts on the plains had been mostly cleared out by the school’s main force, and they began to move deeper into the forest.
The main force had long since advanced into the core area of the Dark Forest, and Lin Tian and the others finally saw the true side of the Dark Forest.
It was pitch-black, and black smoke would occasionally come out. It was as if there were countless pairs of black hands stretching out of the forest, and it looked eerie and terrifying.
When they first arrived at the Dark Forest, the students were still a little timid. However, after a period of special training, they had already gotten used to it.
However, after reaching the core circle, the feeling of terror became even more intense. Even Lin Tian could sense that this forest was not ordinary.
He had strengthened his vision, but his field of vision was still cut in half. He could only see the situation around him clearly. Further away, it was pitch black, and he could not see clearly at all.
“Chief instructor, are you sure you want to go in here?”
The princ.i.p.al, who was following the team, had cold sweat on his forehead. When he looked into the forest, he could feel the danger. He was afraid that there would be heavy casualties.
“It’s okay. I don’t feel the aura of a gold-level magical beast. There shouldn’t be any here!”
Chief Instructor Ye Feng said calmly, and Lin Tian went up to ask curiously.
He had finally learned some knowledge about the magical beasts. He did not expect that the magical beasts would undergo a qualitative change in their strength after they reached gold-level, and they could sense the laws of nature.
Lin Tian had to digest this new information slowly. It seemed that there were still many things that he could learn from them.
At this moment, the group also advanced into the core circle of the Dark Forest. After entering the core circle, the appearance of the entire forest was finally revealed to everyone.
The trees in this forest were not black. Instead, they were surrounded by a black aura, causing them to look extremely black.
Lin Tian instinctively touched the black aura with his hand. Who would have thought that once the black aura touched a human’s aura, it would immediately enter his body?
If not for the magical beast tattoo on his arm suddenly lighting up, the black aura would have already entered his body.
Strange.
This forest was full of strange things. At the same time, there were no sounds of birds or beasts in the forest, which made it even more eerie.
The flowers and gra.s.s on the ground withered very fast as the army went deeper. It was like something was absorbing their life.
“Coo-coo, coo-coo!”
“Coo-coo, coo-coo!”
Lin Tian’s ears twitched. Suddenly, he heard a series of cries. He followed the sound and saw a few red lights flickering not far away. Those light were very faint.
When he noticed the red lights, the red lights seemed to have seen him too. Then, they started to float towards him like wandering souls.
The aura around him became even more strange. Lin Tian could feel that there was an obvious sense of pressure around him.
The strange red lights grew more and more around him.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
As a gust of wind blew past him, it was like some magical beast pa.s.sed by him. Lin Tian immediately became alert. His magical beast tattoo lit up, and Silver Wolf appeared beside him.
“Something’s wrong!”
Lin Tian muttered to himself, his mind extremely tense. His eyes kept looking around, constantly on guard. However, the majority of the people in the group did not notice that Lin Tian had fallen behind slightly and was still moving forward.
It was like they did not notice the strange red light.
“Yiya!”
As Lin Tian stayed behind, a sound that sounded like a baby’s babbling rang out. Then, five or six figures charged towards Lin Tian.
They were all magical beasts. The only difference between them and ordinary magical beasts was that their eyes were glowing red.
“Squeak Squeak!”
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
The number of magical beasts around Lin Tian increased. They kept coming. These magical beasts seemed to be staring at Lin Tian. His brows furrowed slightly.
If these magical beasts were only ordinary magical beasts, it would be acceptable. However, their eyes were all red.
In the Dark Forest, they were particularly eye-catching. As the number of these red-eyed magical beasts increased, a few of them actually took the initiative to attack.
“They’re so fast!”
Lin Tian said in surprise. He knew these magical beasts. Some of them were green-tailed spotted minks and rattlesnake sparrows, but their speed shouldn’t be so fast.
“Xiao Hui, Attack!”
Lin Tian couldn’t care less. He hurriedly ordered Silver Wolf to attack. The Silver Wolf’s fur lit up in the darkness, and the silver-white light illuminated the surroundings.
At this time, Lin Tian could see everything clearly through Silver Wolf. Not only were these magical beasts’ eyes different from other magical beasts, even their bodies had changed.
Their bodies were suffused with a rotten aura, making people feel disgusted. Moreover, when the Silver Wolf’s Silver Claws struck them, it only caused some scratches on their bodies.
Their defense seemed to have been strengthened. When the Silver Claws struck them, it was like they had hit a hard iron plate. It caused cracking sound and even sparks.
The tearing force of the Silver Claws was not even of much use. However, the huge force of Silver Wolf had sent many red-eyed magical beasts flying.
“What’s going on? Can’t they see it?”
Lin Tian said anxiously. These red-eyed magical beasts were not only targeting him, they were also targeting the group. Furthermore, there were many of these red-eyed magical beasts, many times more than the plains.
However, no one seemed notice that something was amiss. Furthermore, as Silver Wolf attacked, these red-eyed magical beasts seemed to be targeting him. More and more red-eyed magical beasts were heading towards it.
“Silver Wolf, use the Silver Blade!”
Lin Tian gave the order. Since the Silver Claws were useless, the Silver Blades should be able to do it. The Silver Blade was able to break through the defense of a bronze-level Flame-tailed Green Lion, not to mention these red-eyed magical beasts.
“Awoo!”
Silver Wolf growled, and its Silver Claws condensed a silver-white light. It had planned to do this a long time ago. It leaped up and turned into a silver bolt of lightning, pa.s.sing through the trees.
The energy blades flew over from all directions, slas.h.i.+ng at the red-eyed magical beasts. It was just as Lin Tian had expected.
Even if the Silver Claws were ineffective, the Silver Blades were enough to make these magical beasts suffer. Many red-eyed magical beasts were cut into two halves, falling to the ground.
“Roar roar roar!”
However, another strange scene appeared before his eyes. These red-eyed magical beasts were clearly killed by Silver Wolf on the spot, but the system’s pop-up window did not appear.
Furthermore, as the number of red-eyed magical beasts increased, Silver Wolf was unable to get rid all of them. It was directly surrounded by thousands of red-eyed magical Beasts.
Silver Wolf constantly shot out energy blades, but each time it killed only a few.
Lin Tian immediately fell into a bitter battle.
