Jian Chen's group of six slowly walked towards the outskirts of the forest. Now that three days had passed, if they could successfully protect the monster cores and leave the forest, then they would have completed their mission perfectly. Moreover, the Monster Core Academy would not take them back, and they would all belong to them.
As they walked, Jian Chen and the others were extremely cautious. This was the time when things could happen the most. After the previous night's battle, other than Tie Ta and himself, Changyang Hu and the others were all injured. They could not even use half of their strength. If they were attacked by someone stronger, it would be hard to avoid another fierce battle. This was something Jian Chen did not want to see.
Jian Chen led the way while Tie Ta held the rear. The group moved in a straight line while the faint white barrier in the sky would occasionally ripple in the same direction. At daybreak, the barrier that covered the entire forest had changed, pointing out the exit for those students who had lost their way in the forest.
Jian Chen's mind was in high spirits as he constantly monitored his surroundings. The 3rd region wasn't as calm as the 2nd region. Not only did he have to guard against magical beasts that could appear at any time, but he also had to guard against the students. Perhaps there were some hidden people waiting for him in the grass. Moreover, the closer he was to the exit, the more dangerous it was. After all, the barrier in the sky had already pointed in the direction of the exit. The students who were still in the forest were all heading in the same direction. This undoubtedly provided some convenience for those who were waiting for them.
A few hours passed and the two of them were getting closer and closer to the exit of the 3rd region. The journey was relatively peaceful, but every time they walked a certain distance, they would come across a magical beast corpse. In some places, there were even two or three magical beast corpses lying at the same time.
After traveling for a few more hours, Jian Chen's group finally arrived at the exit of the 3rd region. They passed through the barrier smoothly and arrived at the 2nd region. At this moment, everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. They all knew that the monster cores they had been talking about had been saved, because once they left the 3rd region, regardless of whether they had collected two monster cores or not, their mission would be considered over. No one would dare to snatch anything from them.
"Hehe, I didn't expect the journey to be so peaceful. It really exceeded my expectations.”Changyang Hu's face revealed a happy smile, his voice tinged with excitement.
"Yeah, I thought we would be attacked on the way out. I didn't expect it to be so calm. It's really beyond my expectations."”
Dearya reached out and touched the Space Belt on his waist. He smiled and said,"I reckon that the people who were fighting for monster cores in the 3rd region have all suffered some injuries, so they don't have the energy to rob people on the road. Moreover, most of them are in the same situation as us. They only want to protect themselves and are satisfied with leaving the 3rd region safely. They don't have the energy to rob people on the road.”
"Hmm, that's right. It makes sense.”Tie Ta nodded in agreement.
Shaking his head, Jian Chen said,"Things are not as you think. There are still people hiding in some hidden places along the way, but you didn't notice them. Perhaps those people saw that we had a large number of people and couldn't estimate our strength, so they didn't attack us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to leave the 3rd region so safely."”
Hearing this, their expressions changed slightly.
Changyang Hu let out a long sigh,"Fortunately, fourth brother told us to pretend to be unharmed. Otherwise, once those people know that the four of us are injured, I'm afraid we won't be so lucky.”Hearing this, the three of them nodded in agreement. They looked at Jian Chen with a sliver of admiration.
"Alright, let's hurry out. After we return to the academy, you guys should also take care of your injuries.”
The group of six continued to advance towards the first region. As they got closer and closer to the exit of the first region, the number of academies around them gradually increased. Although there were definitely many people who could not persist and gave up on the mission, there were more than a thousand people who entered the forest this time. Even if more than half of them gave up on the mission, there were at least a few hundred people left. It was almost difficult for a few hundred people to meet in such a huge forest. Therefore, There were not many people who could meet in the forest.
Jian Chen looked around at the other students who were walking toward the 1st region. The majority of them were naked and covered in wounds. However, without exception, all of them were in a sorry state. Their naked bodies were covered in mud, and it was impossible to tell what they looked like from their flowery faces.
Only a few women were still wearing their school uniforms. However, without exception, their school uniforms had become extremely dirty. There were cracks all over their bodies, and they looked worse than beggars 'clothes. Moreover, some parts of their clothes that could not cover their bodies were covered with large leaves, making them look extremely miserable.
Among them, there were a few people who were injured in their legs and could not walk. They were supported by their companions as they walked out of the forest step by step.
Perhaps it was because there were many people in this area, so there were no magical beasts coming and going. The journey was relatively safe.
Very soon, Jian Chen and the others followed the direction of the barrier and passed through the first region, finally leaving the forest. Outside the barrier, Vice Principal Bai En was dressed in a long white robe. He stood there with his back straight, and a few indifferent teachers stood a step behind him. Behind him was a large group of Kargath Academy students. There were nearly a thousand of them, and they were divided into two camps. The right camp had several times the number of people in the other camp, and although some of them wore uniforms that were covered in mud, there were very few places that were damaged. On the whole, it was still intact.
The other group of people were in a rather sorry state. Their school uniforms were tattered and stained with a lot of blood. Through the cracks in their school uniforms, one could vaguely see the scars on their bodies.
On the other hand, there were only about 200 people in the left camp. Without exception, all of them were in a sorry state. Most of them were wearing clothes made of tree bark or animal skin, and there were quite a few people who were naked. However, at this moment, everyone who walked out of the forest was arranged by a teacher to gather with the people on the left side.
Afterwards, Jian Chen and the others sat down on the grass and waited quietly. At this time, he had already understood that the people on the left side had all been in the forest for three days and had only just come out today. As for the people on the right side, they had all come out within three days. According to the academy's rules, regardless of whether they obtained two monster cores or not, they would have failed the mission.
Looking around, Jian Chen realized that many of the people in the same camp as him had gloomy expressions on their faces. There were even some who looked at others with deep anger, as if their eyes were about to spit out flames.
At this moment, Jian Chen seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head slightly to look behind him, only to see a person dressed in beast skin, with a black face, supported by two students who were dressed the same way as him. The person was looking at him with a venomous gaze, his eyes filled with rage and…Intense killing intent.
Jian Chen looked at the person from head to toe before revealing a faint smile. He had already recognized that the person was Luo Jian. Although Jian Chen knew that after what had happened last night, he had completely offended Luo Jian, he didn't care about it at all. In terms of strength, he wasn't inferior to Luo Jian at all. Once he condensed his Saint Weapon and became a Saint, Luo Jian would be even less of a threat to him. In terms of clan power, although Jian Chen wasn't too clear about the strength of the Changyang clan, from all aspects, the Changyang clan was clearly not weak. Even though Luo Jian was the son of the patriarch of the Luo family, Jian Chen felt that the Luo family wouldn't make things difficult for him over such a small matter. After all, Luo Jian had been injured by Jian Chen while he was on a mission to train himself in the academy. Furthermore, Luo Jian had attacked Jian Chen's big brother first.
Soon after, everyone in the forest had left. Jian Chen's group had already grown to three to four hundred people.
At this moment, Vice Headmaster Bai En arrived in front of everyone. His gaze swept across the group of students on the left who were in a sorry state. A smile appeared on his face as he shouted,"Very good, you guys really didn't disappoint me. I didn't expect that this year's Magical Beast Hunting Event would have so many people staying in the forest for three days. Now, everyone maintain your current formation and head towards the academy.”
Following that, the entire team maintained two camps and quickly advanced in the direction of the academy. When they passed by a small river on the way, everyone washed their faces and continued to advance. Soon, when the students arrived at the academy, they noticed that a high platform had been built in the middle of the field.
Everyone stopped in front of the high platform. Then, Vice Principal Bai En and a few teachers walked straight up to the high platform. The Vice Principal sat on the leader's seat and said calmly,"The magical beast hunting competition that occurs once every three years has now come to an end. According to the academy's rules, the prizes will be distributed immediately after the completion of the mission. Now, all students who have stayed in the forest for three days and possess two or more monster cores at the same time, please step forward.”
As soon as the Vice Principal finished speaking, more than a hundred people walked out from the crowd.
"Now, let's first count the Class 1 Monster Cores. Students who have killed Class 1 Magical Beasts, please come up to the stage to count the number.”The vice president continued.
Afterwards, all the students who had hunted Class 1 Monster Cores, including Jian Chen and Tie Ta, walked up to the stage. There was a teacher on the stage who was responsible for counting and recording the number of monster cores the students had obtained.
