Chapter 44

......

......

The scenery in the valley is quite nice, to the south is a palm-shaped lake, and to the north is a raised mountain pass.

The old den of the one-eyed magic wolf is right at the mountain pass, actually visible from the center of the Hundred Herbs Valley.

The leader of the group, of course, is Lü Cha... of course, it's the vice-class leader, Mu Bai!

Mu Bai successfully won over everyone in the group during this training, and the girls admired him even more.

It was indeed thanks to him that they were able to enter the Hundred Herbs Valley so quickly.

"The cave is right there. I thought this bounty would be so difficult, but we found the destination so easily!" Zhao Kunsan laughed heartily.

Zhao Kunsan, who was also impatient, had managed to enter the top class in the last quarter and successfully teamed up with Mu Bai again.

"Be careful, a bounty can't be that simple," Mu Bai, from a prominent family, was well-informed and knew that bounties weren't easy to complete.

A group of 20 people, led by Mu Bai, had already climbed up the steep hill to the mountain pass.

Standing at the mountain pass, there was a smaller spring pool, with water filling only about half of it.

The cave was now visible, with a very large entrance, similar to an underground passage in the city.

Looking into the cave, it was a deep, dark void, a darkness that easily evoked a fear of the unknown and the dark. The cold wind blowing out of the cave made everyone's skin crawl.

"Should we wait for more people before going in?" He Yu said timidly.

"I think so too, it looks really scary," Zhao Kunsan also lacked the courage.

Who knows what's in this cave, to just rush in like this...

If there really are demons, our lives would be in danger.

While they were discussing, another group of people was making their way up to the mountain pass.

"It looks like Group Three, that's great!" He Yu said happily.

Group One and Group Three, due to the relationship between Mu Bai and Xu Zhaoting, were considered the most combat-effective among the five groups.

Seeing that Group Three was still far behind, Mu Bai couldn't help but sneer. Although Xu Zhaoting and Mo Fan, who both scored S in the annual assessment, were in the same group, so what? In practice, he, who had been nurtured by a prominent family, was much more capable.

......

Soon, Group Three and Group One met up. The other three groups were probably still stuck at the demon vine checkpoint, or even eliminated at the river valley.

Indeed, not every wind mage dared to jump at the river valley.

"Let's go, everyone, together. Light mages, you finally have a use, light up the place!" Zhao Kunsan, emboldened by the larger group, still couldn't resist his snide remarks.

The light mages grumbled incessantly.

After all, their beginner skill was nicknamed "mobile light bulb."

The light mages used their abilities to illuminate the cave with its rugged rocks, but the deeper areas were still shrouded in darkness, making everyone's hearts race inexplicably.

"Wind mages, lead the way. You have the Wind Track skill, so you can quickly retreat if anything happens," Mu Bai, from a prominent family, knew how to reasonably allocate the team.

The wind mages didn't argue, and Zhao Kunsan, Zhang Yinglu, Yang Xintian, and others were already at the front.

"Bro Fan, I'm going to scout ahead... what are you looking at?" Zhang Xiaohou, a wind mage, naturally had to take on the scouting role.

In the cave, such a large group needed someone to lead the way; otherwise, they would be in chaos if anything happened. Mu Bai's decision was indeed correct.

Mo Fan was still standing at the cave entrance, his eyes fixed on the pool in front of the mountain pass.

It had rained a few days ago, so it was normal for the pool to have water.

However, Mo Fan noticed something strange.

"The water level has a line around the edge, which means the water was originally at this level. The water mark is still visible, and the water level hasn't dropped for more than half a day... if it were evaporation, it wouldn't be this fast..." Mo Fan muttered to himself.

"Maybe Group One filled it up?" Zhang Xiaohou suggested.

"We all filled up our water at the lake, there's no reason to do it again on the mountain," Mo Fan continued.

"Then what do you mean..." Zhang Xiaohou rarely saw Mo Fan so serious.

"The chief instructor said that a group of one-eyed magic wolves once lived here. This pool at the cave entrance is likely where they drank water. The water level dropped a few hours ago, and the water mark is still visible," Mo Fan thought aloud.

Zhang Xiaohou wasn't stupid; he quickly understood what Mo Fan meant and his face turned pale with fear.

"Bro Fan, don't scare me. Are you saying something is still living in this cave and came out to drink water recently?" Zhang Xiaohou stammered.

"The water level dropped so much, which means the creature is very large, or there's more than one," Mo Fan added.

Zhang Xiaohou's teeth were chattering.

"Let's go, maybe I'm overthinking it," Mo Fan patted his hands and followed the group that had already entered the cave.

Zhang Xiaohou hurriedly ran to the front of the group and told Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting, Zhou Min, and others about Mo Fan's discovery.

However, before Zhang Xiaohou could finish speaking, a foul-smelling wind suddenly surged out of the cave, hitting the faces of the 40 students...

It felt like a huge wave was about to hit them, their hair and clothes were in disarray, and they could feel the mist on their faces!

"Roar!!!"

"Roar!!!!!"

Suddenly, two terrifying cries echoed from deeper in the cave.

At that moment, everyone understood what the sticky, damp wind was!

Oh no, it was the saliva from the demon's roar!

The 40 students were all stunned, their bodies stiff.

In the next second, their faces contorted, completely filled with fear from the depths of their hearts.

Demons!!!

It's demons!!!!

They had always talked about demons at school and had rehearsed countless times in their minds how they would fight them with confidence. But when they actually felt two pairs of green, greedy eyes staring at them from deep in the cave, their minds went blank!

The light from the light mages still hovered in the air, illuminating the front of the cave.

A foot covered in green fur suddenly stepped out of the darkness, its sharp claws sinking into the ground...

Then, a head slowly emerged, suddenly exposed in the light!

A row of jagged fangs appeared, and the terrifying incisors hung down from the upper jaw to the lower jaw, exposed to the air and the students' eyes.

Green saliva dripped slowly from the two saber-like fangs, clearly indicating that the creature was hungry!

The fierce wolf's head, more powerful than a common coyote's neck, a body larger than a camel's and covered in rock-like muscles, and deep blue, needle-like fur...

The demon stood there, its green eyes looking down at the 40 students as if they were a pile of delicious food, with greed and indifference.

"Run... run... run!!!"

Someone, voice trembling, shouted.
