For an instant, there was silence in the hall, and all the freshmen seemed to be waiting in tacit understanding for the serious female voice to sound again.

The air was still filled with the aroma of food, which was the smell of various grilled meats mixed with other side dishes, and mixed with the sweetness of pie pudding, which was stimulating every nerve cell in Ye Qimeng's nasal cavity.

The sense of smell becomes particularly sensitive after vision loss.

Ye Qimeng could smell the faint floral fragrance mixed with the aroma of food. These fragrances came from Verletela's new life. It seemed that they were still here, which made her feel inexplicably relieved.

"This is too fast, I haven't even eaten yet." Leia muttered quietly to express her dissatisfaction.

"What happened?" Ye Qimeng sat in her position and did not dare to move, but she couldn't help but stretched her hand in the direction of Xia Chenxing next to her. However, she only touched an empty bench and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Morning star, Where are you?"

"I am here, where are you?"

Ye Qimeng could hear Xia Chenxing's voice in his heart, and felt that she was sitting steadily beside him, but he could not touch each other, as if he were in two parallel time and spaces.

Ye Qimeng groped towards the dining table for a while and found that all the plates filled with food on the table had disappeared, leaving only a clean and smooth long table.

She leaned over and gestured to the air a few more times, and sure enough, Leia on the opposite side also disappeared.

But Leia's calm voice came from the darkness: "Don't be surprised, this is Blackagu's new tradition. If you find the albino water eagle of the Hawk family in the dense forest, you can return to the opening ceremony."

Dunn also responded: "This is just a small competition. I believe you can complete it successfully. I wish you good luck, my friends."

It was pitch dark all around, and it was impossible to see anything clearly, but one could hear the whispers of the freshmen.

It seems that everyone has known about this strange tradition in advance and is excited about the upcoming challenge.

However, Ye Qimeng didn't know anything about it yet.

"--Quiet."

The female voice that sounded like the conductor of a banquet severely stopped the freshmen from communicating with each other.

"What is this competition about?" Ye Qimeng asked curiously in a low voice.

Leia's voice also lowered a lot, and she quietly revealed to Ye Qimeng and Xia Chenxing: "This year's thing is on the top of the tallest metasequoia tree in the dense forest. Freshmen must find a way to get it with their own hands. Remember not to use magic in the dense forest. , must remember! I can only help you so far..."

"——Veletra students, be quiet!"

The extremely stern female voice seemed to have noticed that they were whispering to each other, and increased her tone of voice to stop them. It even frightened Ye Qimeng so much that he almost trembled and almost fell off the bench.

"——Then take your guardian beast and start this competition."

Ye Qimeng seemed to be the only one left in the huge dinner party.

Before the inexplicable loneliness hit her, she was taken to the place where the "race" started by an unknown hot wind:

jungle.

"But...where did Dogo go?"

Ye Qimeng was standing in a daze at the entrance of the dense forest. There seemed to be monsters running around in the forest under the dark night, so she did not dare to take a step closer.

She expected Dao Ge to be by her side more than ever, but now she could only bite the bullet and walk into the stone archway entangled with vines to find a way to leave here alone.

This place seems to be located deep in the Santa Coni Mountains, without any human habitation. The place not far away with the twinkling stars should be the black spiers of Blacka Ancient Academy.

She could feel that her body was still at the dinner party, but her soul was brought to this place that Leia called the "dense forest" to look for the albino water eagle on the tallest metasequoia tree.

"Well, at least we have a goal."

She stopped inside the vine stone door, looked up and glanced at the general shape of the dense forest. Almost all of them were tall metasequoia trees, densely packed with the land on both sides of the road, but only one person was allowed to pass. the way.

This should be the road leading to the tallest metasequoia tree, and there is no other way to go.

This contest does look very simple.

The dense forest is very humid, and the soft soil is covered with yellow metasequoia leaves, some of which have rotted. They make a rustling sound when stepped on, adding a bit of popularity to this silent dense forest.

Ye Qimeng did not rely on the illumination of flame magic, but relied on the bright light of the Luna star above her head to move forward, because she remembered Leia's instructions not to use magic in the dense forest.

"This is really an embarrassing chore." Ye Qimeng muttered to himself.

Now she knew why Leia told them to hurry up and enjoy the food on the long table. It did take a long time to walk through this winding road, and it naturally consumed a lot of energy.

The metasequoia trees around us are like giant tomb guards, standing on both sides waiting for curious people to explore the secrets of the dense forest.

Ye Qimeng felt a little nervous alone, and involuntarily tightened her grip on the silver bow and quiver she had been carrying on her shoulders, which she had just taken out of the endless bag to embolden herself.

This dense forest looked like an ordinary forest. There were no wild animals, not even the sound of strange birds at night. This still made her feel inexplicably frightened.

After all, this means that there are no living creatures here.

That is to say, there may be something more powerful that swallows these "living creatures", leading to the current situation.

"Blacka Ancient Academy, even the traditions are so strange!"

Along the way, Ye Qimeng didn't know what she was going to say, but she wanted to say something to break the damn tranquility, but the confusing word order still exposed the fear in her heart.

Fortunately, she successfully reached the tallest metasequoia tree deep in the jungle along the winding path.

The leaves of this Metasequoia are rusty red, and there are very few leaves on the crown of the tree. Almost all of them have fallen to the ground, forming a red circular pattern surrounding the trunk, which also makes the albino water eagle on the top of the tree particularly conspicuous.

Under the faint white light, the motionless albino water eagle on the branch reflected the light, and shined directly into the eyes of Ye Qimeng, who was looking up to observe.

"Ah...but I can't climb trees..." she said very speechlessly.

This albino water eagle does not look like a living thing. Judging from the gloss on the surface, it should be a ceramic product. I wonder if it can be shaken off.

Ye Qimeng tried to push the old metasequoia tree, but after finding that there was no way to move its trunk even an inch, he gave up this somewhat stupid idea.

She simply sat under the tree and looked up to the sky and sighed: "It doesn't matter if you can't learn this..."

I remembered that Xia Chenxing, Laiya, and Dunn's guardian beasts all seemed to be able to climb trees, but my own Dao Ge had gone to who knows where. I suddenly missed him, looked at the sky and thought: "It seems that he is of no use here. ,Dogs can’t climb trees..."

"Oh...oh...oh...oh..." She sighed under the metasequoia tree, wishing she could burn this sturdy tree in the next second.

"Then try this."

She stood up, took out a silver arrow from the quiver on her back, placed it on the long bow, easily pulled the string, and shot an arrow at the albino water eagle on the top of the tree.

Without the blessing of flame magic, the accuracy of the arrow dropped a lot, and it only hit the corner of the albino water eagle's wing, making a "pop-pop" collision sound.

The crisp sound proved that her guess was correct - this was indeed a ceramic-like craft, not a real magical creature.

The arrow fell to the ground again. Ye Qimeng turned sideways to avoid the rapidly descending silver arrow. After it was embedded in the soft soil, he pulled it out and continued to try this method that seemed to have no effect.

However, this is the only way.

Her five senses have become extremely developed inexplicably after coming to this world, and she can feel the invisible existence of the new students around her. They are also trying different methods, basically relying on the special abilities of the guardian beasts.

Gradually, the feeling of being surrounded by people became thinner and thinner, as if the fog gradually dissipated until it completely disappeared. In the end, she was the only one left in this metasequoia forest known as the "Dense Forest".

She felt inexplicably impatient and tired. The night seemed endless and the yellow light in the black spire in the distance became more and more dazzling. She knew that it was the other elves who had completed their tasks and were celebrating the beginning of a new learning life.

"Hey... it shouldn't matter if you use magic, right?" Ye Qimeng couldn't help but open her palms, and sparks emerged from her palms, gradually forming an extremely powerful fire. flow.

The fire stream rushed towards the top of the tree, instantly surrounding the albino water eagle and slowly taking it down from the tree branch.

This made Ye Qimeng feel that she was in sight of victory, and she could finally follow the troops back to the dinner party to continue enjoying the delicious food. She had not eaten much just now, and she would have to eat a lot to make up for it later.

"A rustling--"

"A rustling--"

A sound suddenly appeared in the metasequoia forest behind him. The sound was like big feet clumsily stepping on the metasequoia leaves, as if the solid ground was shaking several times.

Moreover, the source of the sound was getting closer and closer to her, which made her suddenly panic, and the hairs on her back seemed to stand up.

She turned her head, the flame in her hand continued to burn, but suddenly a pair of big fluorescent green eyes appeared in the darkness behind her, staring at her like big light bulbs, and the number continued. increase.

"magic--"

"The smell of magic——"

"It's been a long time since I've tasted such delicious magic——"

"Magic magic——"

Hoarse sounds suddenly sounded one after another, like the greedy sounds made by evil spirits from hell.

This made Ye Qimeng take several steps back in fright. With a shake of his hand, the line of fire was suddenly cut off in the middle. The albino water eagle fell directly to the ground and broke into countless pieces with a "click-" sound.
