Chapter 100 Forest of Trials

He rushed to the small house in the south of the city. Lu Chen quickly carried a marching backpack that he specially made for someone. In fact, it was just a large animal skin bag and asked someone to sew a few straps. Moreover, due to the lack of clasps, he could only tie a sliver knot in front of him to fix it. After all, he was going out alone, so it was better to use space rings in front of him. But before he could open the door of the backyard, he was very disappointed and heard a heartbeat and headache sound.

"Why are there two beasts riding? Is he going to elope with you?"

Then there was the sound of "scarlet" drawing the sword.

"Ah~ The weather is so good, it's very suitable for traveling. How many days do you think the three of us have to play?"

When he opened the gate, he was indeed the temporary guardian Rafitta and the abandoned young follower Paine. Lu Chen looked helpless, opened his mouth and said nothing, and climbed onto the riding beast on his own. Although he didn't know much riding skills, he was at least taught by Verona during his previous trip.

Parn smiled thiefly and immediately turned over to another horse, regardless of the "vicious" look that Rafita wanted to pull him down.

As time goes by, everyone is no longer as strange as before. They are less restrained and jokes. Otherwise, Parn would not have said what he said before, and Rafitta would not have drawn his sword to face each other.

So, after Lafitta sat in front of Lu Chen unwillingly and shyly, the three of them drove the beast to chase the red thorn flowers that had been away for an hour.

As for why these two people were together, Lu Chen could guess without asking. Most of them met while tracking him. Fortunately, I bought an extra spare beast when I was preparing, otherwise I really wouldn't know what the three of them should do.

However, their arbitrary departure caused different reactions to those who focused on this small change.

On the city tower, a man with an ordinary figure but a strong temperament radiated with iron blood and a strong temperament hurriedly ran out to see Lu Chen and the other two. After confirming the figure of his third brother, he was glad that he had given his advice to his subordinates before leaving.

At about the same time, in the study of the king of the palace, Delake and his brother and second brother were worried about discussing whether their interference was wrong. The king even sent out one of his close seventh-level protectors and asked him to protect the three people who left without permission. If anything, first consider Lu Chen's safety, not his own child. As a result, the great swordsman mistakenly thought that Lu Chen was the king's illegitimate son.

There were other forces who were also observing Lu Chen and the other two, but surprisingly, there was Malcolm in one of them, and the attendant was a burly young man with a kingly demeanor; they were talking about how many people were sent to kill one of the parties in the mission quietly to arouse hatred between Lu Chen and the second prince. After receiving the message that Lu Chen and the other two left the city alone, another one was added to take the opportunity to get rid of the third prince Parn, who was unprotected!

On the way, Lu Chen couldn't help asking why Paen came with him. The other party's answer was that he was already in the seventh grade, so of course he had to focus on practical training. Moreover, according to the teaching arrangements of the college, it would only take another month to enter the destination "Trial Forest" to start the assessment. He himself is a good student, so it is necessary to preview it first.

Although Paine's answer was a 100% excuse, Lu Chen heard about internship for the first time. And Rafita knew that he had no common sense, so he affirmed what Paine said first, and then explained to him: this is the arrangement of the college to let each student recognize his own strength. It started in the fourth grade, but it became the focus in the seventh grade, and half of each semester will be spent on this.

After that, everyone didn't say anything. The wind on the face made the three of them unable to chat happily, and also brought the coolness of autumn. Lu Chen didn't think much about it. He took out the only robe from the space ring, covered the entire Rafitta in front of him, and handed it to Parn one. No matter what his mind was, at least now he was a companion who took risks for himself.

But when Paine was aiming at the two of them with an ambiguous look, she was surprised to find that it was the robe of the six-star magician, with the collar with a unique pattern of women. She seemed to have seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it anyway. Out of speculation about the identity of his illegitimate son of the national master, combined with the female magic robe she carried with her, Paine judged it as Lu Chen's mother's clothing. This explains why she feels familiar, maybe it was a female mage he had met when he was a child.

The Trial Forest was originally a natural barrier in the southeast before Finesh became the kingdom. It was earlier a fortress used by elves to defend against human attacks. It was only included in the map of the Kingdom of Humanity a thousand years ago. It became a private forest of the Kingdom of Finesh more than 300 years ago. After more than ten times of purge, the part closest to Finesh Academy was classified as a trial place. It is about 200 kilometers away from the King Capital. At an ordinary marching speed, it takes three or four days. It only takes two days to reach a small-scale cavalry.

The two riding beasts that Lu Chen bought were very good, and the three of them were light and simple. After lunch, he had already discovered Verona and the others who set out earlier. However, because he had sneaked out and stared at them in secret, it was easier to help them, so Lu Chen simply decided to bypass them and reach the Trial Forest first. Anyway, it was impossible for the other party to attack such an open road, so there was no guarantee.

But the military team who was traveling with him was a bit surprising. The number was exactly the same as the thirty girls on the mission, which made Lu Chen unable to understand.

You should know that in a small number of mercenaries, all of them can be strong, but it is impossible for the same in a large army. Unless you draw all the backbone of an army, it is too unrealistic to form a team of thirty people. This will rule out the possibility of one-on-one destruction by the other party. Then, at the worst case, there will be only powerful monsters left. However, looking at the other party's outfit, it is not like a suicide squad, but more like a group of hunting hunters.

He told the two of them about what they wanted to arrive first. After obtaining consent, Lu Chen took them to slightly change direction. Then, after revealing a camp in the wild, the next morning, the three of them reached the edge of the Trial Forest.

Although the surroundings of the forest are very deserted and there are monsters from time to time, there are still small villages where communists temporarily rest. However, in order to avoid the whereabouts of the three, only Parn led two beasts into the village, paid money to ask the villagers to take care of them, and then everyone went directly to the Trial Forest.

Waiting is a boring thing, so after estimating that they will arrive at night and start the mission the next day, the three of them first surveyed the terrain in the forest and hunted some small animals. Everyone just needed to be familiar with each other's combat power so that they could cooperate well when needed.

Needless to say, Lu Chen used a bow and arrow, which made Rafitta feel a little strange and very glad that at least he could stand in front of him. Parn is also a swordsman, but he also asked Lu Chen for a bow and arrow, saying that he wanted to teach him how to "hide behind" and shoot arrows.

Anyway, they were also fighting kittens and dogs, so Lu Chen didn't care, so he gave him a hand, and then the three of them began to look for small animals such as rabbits and mice in the forest.

With the help of the left eye, it is easy to find these weak monsters. In a short period of time, the three of them were full of loads. The tacit understanding between them did not make any progress. Instead, the requirements for prey became higher and higher. Seeing that the sky was still bright and brighter, Parn proposed the suggestion of finding a single fourth-level monster. In his opinion, the strength of the three was enough to ravage the fourth-level high-level monster, because Lafitta was of the fifth-level.

At first, Rafitta strongly opposed it, but she couldn't beat Lu Chen and Pa'en. Under the coercion of them leaving her alone, she could only follow them to move deeper into the forest, so that at least she could protect the two little boys who love to play.

The first fourth-level monster he encountered was a yellow-maned fanged pig. Before the two of them could pull the bowstring, Lafitta rushed up and got it done with a sword.

After looking at each other, the two of them were a little disappointed and laughed happily, then they took the dead pig and walked forward boldly. Rafitta's face also turned red, looking a little excited, because when the sword attached to the fighting spirit stabbed into the body of the fanged pig, she felt the pleasure she had never experienced before when she waved the sword with both hands. It was not only a verification of the fifth-level strength, but also the weapons Lu Chen brought was too good, allowing her to fully experience the pleasure of fighting.

With Lu Chen leading the way, the three of them marched very smoothly. Every time they met the single fourth-level monster by a coincidence, as if they had made an appointment. When they killed the fifth one, Parn finally became suspicious and told them to the two of them. Lafitta immediately asked to return to the periphery. Lu Chen no longer reluctantly agreed.

However, in order not to be seen, Lu Chen deliberately chose the route of the fourth-level herbivorous monster group on the way back, which made the two of them nervous and gave up the idea of ​​any problems. However, when passing by the fourth batch of herbivorous monster group, an accident happened.

As soon as the three of them changed direction, a violent vibration came from the ground. Before the fourth-level monster group could escape, the land under them centered on them and collapsed on a large scale, and even Lu Chen and the other two were not spared.

Fortunately, the soil pit was just a little deep, and there were no casualties, including the herbivorous monsters, but then a few creepy monsters emerged from the soft soil.

"Oh no, it's spider scorpions. Hurry up, leave here while they are surrounding the herbivorous monsters." As he said that, Parn pulled Lu Chen and wanted to jump out of the pit.

For those who have fighting spirit, this pit is not high, but as soon as they look up, the three of them see that the edge of the pit is covered with spider scorpions.

"Damn it, there are so many, no wonder they can launch such a huge hunting operation. It seems that they can only run away when they all come down. Rafitta, Lucien will give it to you, I really can't protect him." It's not that he shirks responsibility, Paine, who is only a fourth-level intermediate, is still very self-aware. It's good that he can protect himself in the face of so many spider scorpions of the same level.

Seeing Pahn throwing away the bow and arrow and taking out the long sword used for mortgage from the space ring last time, Lu Chen knew that the matter was indeed extremely serious, but he was not worried much. Instead, he looked at the monsters with spiders in front and scorpions in the back and asked curiously: "Spider Scorpion? The fourth-level? What attributes? Can you spit silk?"

Lafitta was also quite nervous, but it was much better than Parn. After all, she had seen Lu Chen face the worse situation alone. When she heard his inquiry, she immediately replied: "Well, the soil is good at digging, and can secrete spider silk to wrap the uniformed prey, but she can't spit it out. It should be noted that their tail needles have a paralytic effect."

"Oh, that's useless. The number is a little smaller, but it's also 'meat'." A sigh in my heart, Lu Chen put away the bow and arrow and said relaxedly: "Lafitta, Parn, lean against the wall of the pit, then lead them all down and get rid of them at once." At the same time, he took out the five-star water dragon and ice gun scroll.

Although the value of the five-star scroll is far greater than that of the fourth-level magic core, the spider scorpion and the herbivorous monsters are still worth two scrolls together.

"You're crazy..." Paine became anxious when he heard this, but when he saw the two scrolls in Lu Chen's hand, he was speechless and depressed. He remembered that there were two five-star scrolls in his space ring, and remembered that the last time he made a bet with Saimen, the guy in front of him took out six six-star scrolls.

Unlike Parn, Rafitta was extremely convinced of Lu Chen's experience in battle. He immediately took action when he heard his arrangements. He protected the two of them and slowly retreated to the edge of the pit. Rafitta, who felt that it was not safe enough, even used his fighting spirit to blow out a depression for the two of them to hide.

Lu Chen, who is used to being protected by girls, is nothing, but Paine, who has almost never encountered any danger, became even more depressed. He was protected by a woman for the first time when he grew up, which caused a small blow to his self-esteem. However, the situation in front of him could not help but show off, so he could only accept the reality obediently.

There is no need for extra seduction. Lafitta's blow attracted the attention of all spider scorpions. Except for a few who have succeeded and are packing their prey, most of the remaining spider scorpions rushed over.

The low-level monsters had no intelligence, and the spider scorpions rushed over were basically squeezed together, and there were even those who were crawling on the back of their companions. After killing a few of them running in front of them, Lafitta jumped out of the pit at the sight of the opportunity. Then Lu Chen released the water dragon technique and the ice gun technique one after another.

In just two or three minutes, the pit was either a corpse smashed by the water dragon technique or a monster frozen by the cold air of the ice gun technique. Paine couldn't even close his mouth. It was not until Lu Chen woke up and asked him and Lafitta to clean up the remaining spider scorpions together that he had difficulty recovering. However, looking at Lu Chen, who was happily reclaiming the corpse of the monster, there was another unreal feeling in his head. There were at least fifty monsters...

After reclaiming all the corpses, Lu Chen had a bad idea. Since these spider scorpions that were bigger than humans crawled out from the ground, will the hole below lead to their old nest? Generally, there should be something in the nest, and if so many are killed, there should not be much left in their nest.
