Chapters 211 and 212: The Dark Shadow Strikes!

  As the strange sound became clearer in Xiao Hong's ears, his expression changed slightly. Following the sound, he saw several objects like thin gauze or aurora borealis piling up chaotically in the north direction, rushing towards He Qi.

  What is this thing?

  "This type of energy blade, Xiao Hong had never seen before and didn't know where they came from. I didn't think you had any help, but this kind of childish trick is useless against me." Hezi didn't care about the messy light blades at all, his arm swung again, shooting out several energy blades to counter the incoming extreme light blade.

  But just at this moment, a shocking scene appeared. The aurora-like energy body seemed to have no resistance when it encountered the energy blade, and it passed through directly. Then, like a gentle breeze, it swept past He Zhi and Deputy Officer Kaza Luo's bodies, looking warm and harmless.

  It seemed that the facts were not what Xiao Hong saw, almost at the moment when "light gauze" swept over He Zhi and Ka Zaro's bodies, He Zhi and Ka Zaro's movements stopped, looking like two frozen statues.

  The next moment, countless bloodstains faintly appeared on Hezi and Kazaro's bodies, fresh blood slowly seeping out, their limbs beginning to dislocate along the bloodstains.

  Splish-splash.

  In an instant, the two bodies collapsed along countless bloodstains, forming two piles of corpses, silently dead.

  "Th...th..." Xiao Hong, standing not far away, had her eyes wide open in astonishment, her face filled with incredulity, stuttered for half a day, but couldn't say a word.

  It's unimaginable for Xiao Hong that someone of the rank of Yu Shi could be taken down so easily, what kind of powerful strength is this?

  Muxi'er, who was beside him, had his originally panicked expression replaced by countless terrors. However, seeing the tragic deaths of the two people in front of him, he still couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand.

  After a few seconds, Xiao Hong quickly regained consciousness and looked north, but there was no one in sight, still as calm as ever.

  What kind of person would do this?

  Xiao Hong's mind was filled with a huge question mark, recalling the direction from which "Qing Xiang" had come earlier. Suddenly, Xiao Hong fixed his gaze on Tongkou Tian Shi, and it seemed that "Qing Xiang" had indeed originated from that place.

  Without hesitation, Xiao Hong swiftly activated the Bow of Light's screen, took aim at that location, and continuously used his mounted force to adjust, closing in on the distance.

  Whoosh!

  Just as Xiao Hong was about to see the top of Tong Tian Shi, his face suddenly turned pale, and he took a slight step back.

  Darkness!

  A dark figure stood at the top of Tong Tian Shi, as if quietly watching Xiao Hong, and he indeed did not leave Tai Wu City!

  "Is it him? Is it him!" Xiao Hong's heart was continuously shocked, he was somewhat puzzled, why did the black shadow want to save himself, and why did he never show his face, what kind of person was he?

  Just as Xiao Hong was filled with doubts, he looked at the screen again and found that the black shadow had disappeared without a trace.

  "It's so fast." Xiao Hong secretly admired in his heart.

  He took a quick glance around and forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart to its lowest level. Xiao Hong knew that this place was not suitable for staying for long.

  "Brook, let's leave this place as soon as possible." Xiao Hong said to Mu Brook, however, just as Xiao Hong was about to take a step forward, his feet suddenly stopped moving, and his gaze slightly looked at the two piles of corpses.

  "Wait a minute." Xiao Hong said softly, then quickly turned around and started searching among the corpses.

  To ensure speed, Xiao Hong was also reckless and directly removed the two people's magic bags, put them into his backpack, and picked up the scattered battle patterns next to the corpse, throwing them into his backpack.

  The war patterns of a master level, all these are good things for Xiao Hong.

  By her side, Mu Xi'er watched Xiao Hong rummage through the corpse like a vulture, his brow furrowed in concentration, and his skin crawling with goosebumps. To Mu Xi'er, this was utterly revolting.

  However, for Xiao Hong's actions, she can also understand that there should be a lot of good things on the two people.

  A few seconds later, after Xiao Hong had taken out all the things and thrown them into his backpack, he pulled Mu Xi'er and rushed northward in a flash.

  After running wildly for about ten minutes, the scene in front of Xiao Hong and Mu Xi'er suddenly became desolate. All around them were stones, with sparse plants growing in the gaps between the rocks.

  This is exactly where the Khasan Stone Forest is located.

  They stopped again after a short distance in Shilin, Xiao Hong and Mu Xi'er panting heavily.

  "This should be safe now." Xiao Hong made a great effort to swallow his saliva, leaning against a stone wall, panting.

  "What exactly was it that just saved us?" Mu Xi'er asked, which was also what she was most concerned about.

  "I also want to know who he is, but now I really don't know. Anyway, let's not mention today's events to others, do you understand? Otherwise, it will easily bring unnecessary trouble." Xiao Hong reminded.

  "I naturally know this." Mu Xi'er responded.

  After a brief rest of several minutes, Xiao Hong could clearly see the massive Xiaoying hovering above the wilderness training ground. A large number of Temple Knights had been released from the mothership and were charging into the forest, making battle inevitable.

  Of course, this was no longer what Xiao Hong cared about. He sat down against the stone wall and opened his backpack to check its contents. Most of them were stained with blood.

  After a closer look, there were several golden threads inside, temporarily unknown whether they were timed or named, then there were two magic pattern packets, and several scattered magic patterns.

  There are two of them, Xiao Hongming can clearly see that they are Yu Shi level, and the rest are all Yu Zhe Wu Ji level.

  This is a good deal, even if Xiao Hong himself can't use it, selling it for money is also good.

  Xiao Hong's face was stern just now, but his eyes are shining brightly at the moment. Mu Xi'er can only pout in frustration, while Qiuqiu has already fallen asleep, and a faint snoring sound can still be heard.

  "Alright, that's enough, let's go."

  He confirmed that there was nothing useful in his backpack and set it on fire. Then he put on his backpack and said to Muxi'er.

  "Where are we going?" asked Mu Xi'er, following Xiao Hong's side.

  "Go find that person and wait until they're done, then we'll head back." Xiao Hong instinctively pulled Mu Xi'er's hand in response.

  Xiao Hong then took the mother-child warning tattoo with Mu Xi'er and began to wander in the stone forest, turning around several times in front of Tongkou Tian Shi, but unfortunately, Hei Ying didn't leave any footprints, and Xiao Hong even used the suction disk battle pattern to climb to the top of Tongkou Tian Shi to take a look.

  From over 100 meters high Tongkuai Tian Shi top, you can clearly see the place where Xiao Hong and He Zhi fought earlier, with a view that is extremely good.

  But for Heiying, nothing was gained.

  At the same time, with the arrival of the Knights Templar, the soldiers of Villeneuve began to withdraw without any entanglement, as previously agreed.

  However, at this time, another commander, Qiao Meng, suddenly discovered that He Zhi had already lost contact with the main force, which gave Qiao Meng a very bad premonition.

  Not to mention his relationship with He Zhi, assuming He Zhi has a three-win and two-loss record, this counterattack would be a loss. It's not easy to cultivate a master-level character, and it's extremely precious.

  If it's said that a Rider-level character can be upgraded to 100% with the Mutated Beast Gall, then an Executor-level character would require even more precious materials than the Mutated Beast Gall, and the upgrade success rate is not 100%.

  After calling out several times, seeing He Zhi still had no response, facing the Knights of the Temple, Qiao Meng simply did not dare to fight back and could only order a full retreat.

  Luoxue Ning in the main control room was also somewhat annoyed at this time, and ordered a full-line strike while recalling the students who were undergoing wilderness training. The wilderness training ended ahead of schedule, and the results were calculated based on the existing number of kills.

  It wasn't until 4 pm that the Wehrmacht soldiers were completely cleared out and rescue efforts began in earnest.

  Luo Xue Ning's expression was extremely unsightly in the control room, the casualty report that had just been sent up showed that 66 first-year students and 41 second-year students had died, this was absolutely a heart-wrenching number.

  Without a doubt, this time, the arrow really hit Luo Xue Ning's most vulnerable spot. This required Luo Xue Ning to use all her efforts to comfort the parents of the students, as well as Chai Sang and the other students.

  Once Lu Xue Ning gets entangled in this matter, it will definitely consume a lot of her energy, leaving her frazzled and distracted.

  However, amidst all the bad news, a piece of good news has emerged. According to the on-site search conducted by Ma Kao, the suspected body of Wei Lin's coach was found, but it appears that someone had rummaged through his belongings.

  The scene was soon transmitted to the control room, where Hezhi and Kazaro's bodies were seen to have turned into corpses, with smooth and flat surfaces, as if they had been cut by an extremely sharp object.

  It's clear that someone of a lower level couldn't have made a character like him die in such a miserable way.

  Who is it?

  Luoxue's heart was filled with a huge question mark, but being able to take down Weilin, a renowned charioteer, could be considered a piece of good news amidst all the bad ones.

  At the same time, in the Kasson Stone Forest, Xiao Hong had long stopped searching for Hei Ying's whereabouts. Xiao Hong was very clear that relying solely on his strength, it would be too difficult to find Hei Ying, and even if he found him, what could he do?

  When others are in a good mood, they don't usually bother with you. When they're in a bad mood, you might get killed by their sharp tongue at any moment.

  With this idea, Xiao Hong stopped searching and instead followed Mu Xi to a sheltered and quiet place, where they started a bonfire with a wooden stick on top, strung with several scorpions.

  Muxi'er, who was nestled in Xiao Hong's arms, looked at the things strung on the branches with a tangled expression. Eating something required some courage for Muxi'er, more or less. As for the ball in Muxi'er's arms, it seemed much calmer because it had already eaten its fill and didn't need to eat anymore.

  Chapter 212 Excuse

  "It's almost done." Xiao Hong took the branch with the scorpions from the fire, picked one off and handed it to Mu Xi.

  "This, can this thing really be eaten? It looks so disgusting." Muxi'er wrinkled her nose, her face full of revulsion.

  "It's high in protein, remember, when it comes to survival, there's no room for pickiness." Xiao Hong said softly and brought the roasted scorpion closer to Mu Xi'er's mouth.

  Muxi'er glanced at Xiao Hong with a hint of pain, bit off a small pincer of the roasted scorpion and chewed for two seconds. However, her eyebrows then slightly rose.

  "It's crispy, doesn't look too bad to eat." Murong Xi'er said to Xiao Hong, her expression no longer as painful as before, and she also became much bolder, putting the whole roasted scorpion into her mouth and chewing.

  The ball in Xiao Hong's arms can clearly see Mu Xi'er's expression, and then opens two small paws to indicate that it also wants.

  Xiao Hong just smiled faintly and placed the roasted chestnuts on Qiuqiu's paws.

  After more than ten minutes, several roasted scorpions were eaten up, and Xiao Hong and Mu Xi'er also rested. At the same time, Xiao Hong could clearly see that in the distance, the small eagle number suspended in the air, the green light on the hull was very bright, which was a signal of the military team, indicating that all dangers had been cleared.

  Seeing such a light, Xiao Hong and Mu Xi'er didn't want to linger either.

  "It's almost done, let's go." Xiao Hong pulled Mu Xi'er's hand and said softly, then headed towards the direction of the forest, making a gesture of seeking help.

  As most of the people here were Mo Xuan and Temple Knights' military personnel, Xiao Hong was not worried that anyone would be unfavorable to himself.

  However, just as Xiao Hong entered Camp No. 1 with two members of the Knights Templar, he saw Miao Chen being interrogated by Mo Xuan and the school authorities not far away, and on the stretcher beside him was Pu Yi's corpse.

  As for Park Il's death, Miao Chen was extremely resentful and angry in her heart, but she could only suppress the anger in her heart and say that Park Il was killed by a Wehrmacht soldier.

  This is also what Miao Chen had to say, the truth is that if it was said that a student from the branch school killed him, then there would be a big commotion and many questions would arise, such as: Why did the student from the branch school want to kill Park Yat? What was your true purpose for entering? How did you enter?

  Of course, Miao Chen can gloss over all this, but what he fears most is a face-to-face confrontation with Xiao Hong, after all, his heart is very empty.

  As Xiao Hong walked by, Miao Chen's eyes almost spat out fire, but he had no choice, and couldn't possibly make a move in front of Mo Xuan and the Holy Temple Knights.

  On the other hand, Xiao Hong, still wearing a mask and brown-rimmed glasses, looked at Miao Chen with an equally unpleasant expression.

  Looking at the other second-year students, they saw Xiao Hong and almost instinctively made way for him, not even daring to breathe loudly. What exactly had Xiao Hong done earlier, they were still very clear about it.

  They only stayed in the First Camp for over ten minutes, Xiao Hong, Mu Xi'er and other students were taken back to Xijin Academy by a magic carriage.

  It was also announced that this field training has thoroughly ended and it is meaningless to continue comparing.

  Returning to Xijin Mofang College, Xiao Hong and Murui'er, along with other students, stood on the main playground one after another according to the rules.

  Normally, this would have been the moment for Chaisang's lengthy speech. However, due to countless unexpected events involving students from Branch School, Miao Chen, and the Kingdom of Weilin, Chaisang's speech only lasted a few minutes.

  The main thing is to comfort the students, learn to be strong, and guarantee that the deceased students will receive condolences from Singapore.

  At the same time, the final ranking is also out. According to the calculation of one kill for a first-year student as two points, Xiao Hong's ranking can be said to be high above, absolutely first.

  Ironically, when Muxi'er's kill count doubled, it just so happened to be tied with Xue Jingyi. However, according to the principle of prioritizing first-year students, Muxi'er ranked second.

  Xue Jingyi saw this scene and was furious in her heart, but she had no way to deal with it.

  As for the other students of Xijin Mofeng Academy, they were even more indignant and resentful. One by one, their hearts were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. The first place in the branch school was not surprising, but Mu Xi'er, this girl who usually seemed to be without any special abilities, actually got second place. This was just too much to accept.

  The girls who used to mock Muxi'er had changing expressions, and could only secretly sigh that others were lucky, nothing more.

  It can be said that for the matters of Weilin Public School, and even the casualties of Xijin Magic Academy, neither Chai Sang nor Luo Xue Ning wanted to mention it again. Especially this time, unexpectedly allowing a student from the branch school to take first place. Therefore, after the wilderness training, the summary meeting was extremely simple, ending in as perfunctory a manner as possible.

  The principal finished speaking and then presented the awards.

  The first prize winner was Xiao Hong, who walked towards the stage. Xiao Hong glanced at the award area guarded by the Knights of the Sacred Temple and his eyes quickly fell on the "Scales of Gold" engraved knife.

  "Lin Jin" carved pattern knife, a total of twelve, the shape of the handle is slightly different, but roughly the same, the entire body is black, with sequenced scales on top, the tip of the knife is different from Xiao Hong's "Han Diao", there is no obvious sharp head at the tip of the knife, and the blade has been replaced by small and strange grooves.

  The user needs to accumulate a certain amount of driving force, and only then will the driving force blade be formed. The intensity of the driving force directly determines the sharpness of the driving force blade.

  The entire set of carved knives was made by the famous craftsman Po Anshan from Fotan Huangdu, taking three years to complete. The materials used are also extremely precious, with the main body being made of Hanshang Jin, a rare material that is hardly seen anywhere else. The intricate patterns between the scales are also incredibly fine, and the craftsmanship is exceptionally exquisite.

  It's absolutely beyond what "tone" can convey.

  It was also given to the Kingdom of Sing as a token of friendship by Emperor Fu Tan years ago, and after being passed around several times, it ended up in the hands of General Luo Xue Ning's army, but it never had an owner. Now, however, it belongs to Xiao Hong.

  "I want 'Ling Jin'." Xiao Hong said to Chai Sang, then looked at Luo Xue Ning and closed the twelve emerald wooden boxes with Ling Jin patterned knives, putting them into his backpack. At the same time, behind the twelve emerald wooden boxes, he also placed another black scabbard with scales.

  However, unlike the previous leather-made Embossed Knife Pack, the outer layer of the Embossed Knife Pack is made of Chilly Scales Gold, and the inner layer is made of ultra-sturdy Shield Steel. It can be hung at the waist or wrapped around the forearm to serve as a small shield.

  The carved pattern knife and scale gold are one entity, Xiao Hong naturally wouldn't let it go, taking the whole thing.

  Standing beside him, Chai Sang could say that at this moment he really wanted to keep Xiao Hong and ask who the guy was who made it so hard for him to find. However, with Luo Xue Ning and Cheng Shao Yong present, he found it inconvenient to ask these questions, otherwise Cheng Shao Yong would definitely go crazy. Moreover, this involved the Kulong group, so he could only put on a hypocritical smile and encouraged Xiao Hong. This feeling of being close at hand but having no way to help made Chai Sang feel quite bad.

  Xiao Hong did not show much resistance to this, slightly bowed his head and left with a seemingly respectful attitude.

  The next winner is Muxi'er, and the remaining prizes are naturally high-quality variant beast gallbladders, special qualification certificates, and 500 gold coins.

  As for the qualifications of a special contractor, Mu Xi'er already has this kind of thing, and Mu Xi'er is not lacking in money at all. He is extremely interested in this high-quality variant beast core, you know that this is absolutely a first-class person, an unparalleled dream come true.

  With the distribution of awards completed, this wilderness training also quietly came to a complete end.

  At this time, Chai Sang can be said to have wanted to send someone to follow Xiao Hong, but he found that Xiao Hong seemed very old and mixed in with the students at the branch school, returning to the area of the branch school.

  This left Chai Sang baffled, from his perspective, he just wanted to dig a corner of the branch school wall, logically speaking, it wouldn't cause any substantial harm to certain students in the branch school, but looking at Xiao Hong's appearance, it seemed like extreme vigilance.

  Unconsciously, Chai Sang slightly narrowed his eyes, unaware that both Chai Shuang and Miao Chen wanted to send Xiao Hong to his death.

  Even after this battle, Xiao Hong still offended Xue Jingyi and Xu Rui, however, he was not afraid of these two people.

  Xiao Hong returned to the branch school, night had already fallen, and the sky was somewhat dark. At this time, Xiao Hong also unknowingly entered the campus forest, then quickly got into his own magic car, started it, and drove away.

  At the same time, Chai Sang and Luo Xue Ning said goodbye and returned to the principal's office. At this moment, Miao Chen was standing in the center of the principal's room.

  Seeing Miao Chen, Chai Sang's face turned slightly cold. Sneaking into the wilderness training grounds was a serious offense at Xizhen Magic Academy, punishable by expulsion.

  "Explain it then." Xiao Wei sat in front of the principal's desk and asked.

  "In order to find the branch school student, this is the task you gave me. The branch school student is very slippery and conventional methods are almost useless. So after confirming the identity of the branch school student during the wilderness training, I infiltrated the wilderness training area, trying to see who he really was, and then win him over." Miao Chen replied calmly and confidently, this excuse being something he had thought up on his way back.

  "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me at first? Why did you act on your own?" Chai Sang continued to ask, although Miao Chen's answer was flawless, but Chai Sang still saw something unusual in Miao Chen's eyes.

  "I also thought of it on the spur of the moment, and I didn't have time to inform you. I know this isn't right, sorry principal." Miao Chen replied with an extremely respectful tone, looking like he was truly remorseful.

  For Miao Chen, he can be said to be the banner character of Xijin Academy, and the whole Taiwu City is famous, known as the future star of Taiwu City, super genius, so Chai Sang can't refuse.
