The Virgin of Disguise

The Vera tree is a very magical tree. Its branches, leaves, fruits, and rhizomes can all be used as materials for making potions, and each has different effects.Vera trees are tall and straight, and the intervals between every two trees are relatively wide, but because the trunks are thick and tall, the sun usually only gets a little light.

Walking in it, in addition to the fishy smell of the soil, there is also the fragrance of the trees.

The terrain in the woods is not flat, there are many uneven potholes.There are birds chirping in the mountains, and some small animals stick their heads out of the trees and look at them curiously.

The fresh scent of grass and trees, the lovely forest animals, and the just-right morning sun make people feel like they are in a fairyland. If it weren't for the selection process, Ian would be in a better mood.

Ian walked in the front, with a loose mind. Anyway, he is not worried about this selection. His cousin is quite talented.

He promised to be his cousin's companion, and likewise, his cousin had to do him a favor.

The night before they came in, they secretly released a few striped snakes into the Vera woods. This kind of snake has a characteristic, it likes black things, and it is not aggressive. If most people don’t provoke it, it will not provoke people .But Ellen is not necessarily, she has black hair and black eyes.

Alan first robbed Erla fruit, and then always looked at him with offending eyes. The demon god's people are lowly and uneducated.

How could noble children like them mix with such low and dirty people? It was simply discrediting noble children.But it is absolutely impossible to betray the Goddess of Light. Ian knows better than anyone how loyal the Granny family is to the Goddess of Light. In the entire continent, the Granny family worships the Goddess of Light the most. The point of perversion.

Ian turned slightly sideways and looked at Wei Yushu from the corner of his eye. Could she be a qualified Granny?

better not.

They may have been walking in the woods for an hour, and they should have entered the Vera Woods completely.

Some swordsmen climbed to the top of the Vera tree to check their location, how much time they were expected to spend, and which direction they were going.

When several swordsmen climbed up the tree, Alan didn't move, her hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword, and she stood beside Wei Yushu.

Overhead are the sounds of swordsmen discussing which direction to go, which is a bit mixed.But Allen heard a different sound. She frowned and moved her ears to carefully distinguish where the sound came from.

It was a sound of "Halalaxa", as if something was rubbing between the leaves and the soil on the ground, like a snake crawling, but the sound was very thin and dense, and it was unlikely that there would be so many snakes in a single forest.

At the moment when Allen was puzzled, a shadow pounced on Wei Yushu with a "shua".

At the same time, countless black shadows rushed towards all the mages present.

Without thinking, Allen drew his sword and slashed, cutting the shadow under the sword.

The black shadow that had been cut in two fell to the ground before they could see what it was.

What fell in front was a section of dark green vine. After the vine behind was cut off, it immediately retreated, and then a new vine rushed up.

Several swordsmen were looking at the direction from the top of the tree. Some of the fellow mages they were protecting had no time to dodge, and were directly bound by vines. After one vine was bound, countless vines swarmed towards them, until they wrapped people into Zongzi.

Allen kept swinging his sword, cutting off vines one after another, but these vines seemed to be endless, and quickly rushed up again.

Wei Yushu's bright spells really couldn't help. The vine's attack was too simple, but they were more effective. Alan was not injured, so her bright spells were completely useless.

As soon as Ian's fire spell was cast, the fireball flew to the place with the most vines, igniting one vine, and the fire spread rapidly, burning more surrounding vines.

The people on the cliff looked at the scene in the crystal ball, and many magic students from the fire academy applauded Ian. His fireball was fast and accurate, and he took very little time to recite the spell. It was obvious that he was very proficient Moreover, the fireball is not small. Being able to use a simple fireball technique proficiently shows its extraordinary strength.

"The roots of the Vera tree are afraid of fire. Ian can think of this. He is not afraid of danger, and he is also very proficient in fire spells. He is indeed the representative of the second-year students of the fire branch." The teachers of Cross Academy couldn't help but nodded in admiration. Several teachers frowned.

Those teachers are responsible for the daily management of the Vera Forest. Their duty is to prevent others from entering the Vera Forest at will. Whether they are students or residents outside, they set up the formation outside the Vera Forest.

They are very familiar with Vera Woods, and they are also the teachers who are responsible for setting up difficulties in this selection. When they saw this scene, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Wait! These vines are not vera roots!"

"What? Mr. Hughes, what are you talking about?"

The person called Mr. Hughes panicked: "This is not the root of the Vera tree. The root of the Vera tree is gray-green, not dark green. Fire spells are useless against this kind of vine!"

Someone whispered: "Why is it useless, don't you see that those vines have all shrunk back?"

Teacher Hughes felt very disturbed. He looked at Principal Caroline: "Principal, I think we should immediately close the magic circle in Vera Woods and let the students come out first. The origin of these vines is unknown. biology."

Caroline's expression became serious: "Mr. Hughes, you know better than any of us that every year when swordsmen are selected, the magic circle in Vera Woods will automatically change to a magic circle that can only be opened from the inside. , in order to prevent someone from providing improper help to the students inside, we can’t open the magic circle from the outside.”

Teacher Hughes panicked even more, but he had to pretend to be calm and forced a smile: "That's true, but I think your powerful spells, principal, can destroy this magic circle."

Caroline glanced at him and sighed softly: "Unfortunately, I can't. Don't worry, maybe this is a magical plant that we haven't found in the Vera Woods. You know, we only explore the Vera Woods." It's less than half. Maybe they are not in any danger, and this can also be part of the test for them, and maybe it will bring us surprises."

Shen Xi couldn't hear Principal Caroline's conversation from the outside. She fixed her eyes on the crystal ball in mid-air, and muttered: "The right side! There are vines coming from the right side! The left side! Come on again! Got one!"

Alice was nervous and helpless, nervous because she was worried about Wei Yushu and Alan, but helpless because Shen Xi chanted too loudly, and everyone around her was already looking towards them.

It is really indecent to speak so loudly in public.

Edith was still wearing her black robe, which looked old and worn out. Her golden pupils were not staring at the crystal ball, but at the Vera forest below. Her eyes seemed to be able to pass through layers of barriers. See Wei Yushu and others.

Edith didn't know this kind of vine, and she didn't learn any magical botany, even if she took classes, she didn't listen to them.

But she recognized the flickering blackness of the place where the vines regenerated.

She pulled the hood down to cover her entire face, and turned away from the crowd.

Caroline stood at the highest point, caught a glimpse of the leaving shadow, her eyebrows frowned, and then quickly stretched out. Her eyes seemed to be staring at the crystal ball, but in fact, she could see every move of everyone present. I saw that quite a few people became nervous.

Especially Mr. Hughes' panic and uneasiness, Caroline stopped him when he wanted to leave the crowd several times.

"Mr. Hughes, I really want to know about the guarding of Vera Woods recently."

And Wei Yushu and others who were in danger also noticed something was wrong.

In the beginning, Ian's fire spells had a wide range, and could even help some people around him drive away the vines, but then the vines retreated a few times, carefully tested, and made a comeback, not afraid of fire at all.

The mages who can still stand next to him are either fire, thunder, wind, or metal mages, or even water mages, but Wei Yushu is the only one who is a light mage.

There were more and more vines, and at first they only attacked mages, but after being burned several times and cut off countless times, they seemed to get angry and started to attack indiscriminately.

The vines are no longer just entangled and bound like they were at the beginning, and there are many barbs growing on the vines. Once they are drawn on a person, even if they are cut off, a large piece of flesh will be scraped off.

Many swordsmen are still young and have not experienced any beatings in society. Although they are wearing armor, cracks gradually appeared on the armor after being whipped by vines a few times.

The armor of several swordsmen was broken, and the vines hit them directly, scraping off their flesh and clothes.Even swordsmen were injured, not to mention mages who are more fragile than swordsmen. It takes time for mages to chant spells, but the regeneration time of these vines is getting shorter and shorter. , and his own swordsman was also caught by the vines, and he couldn't dodge at all. Many people were beaten to pieces, and they couldn't hold their staffs stably.

Wei Yushu was one of the few mages present who was not injured at all, because Allen protected her so that there was no gap.

Even if Alan's own face was stabbed and blood was flowing, she could still cut off the vines that were rushing towards Wei Yushu with her sword without changing her face.

Wei Yushu hurriedly used healing techniques to heal Allen, and then cast light spells to heal everyone without thinking. First, a holy light illuminated everyone to relieve everyone's fear and panic, and then performed healing techniques one by one to relieve their pain.

As a mage, Wei Yushu preferred to heal the swordsmen first.She hadn't made a move just now. After all, she didn't have any offensive spells that could be used, so she was always in a state of being protected.Now everyone has more and more wounds, and their emotions are becoming more and more unstable.

"Everyone, don't panic! Although there are many vines, the damage to us can only be superficial. I will do my best to treat everyone. We can't stay where we are all the time. We have to find a way to break through, otherwise the vines will only grow more and more. The mages focus on casting spells, and the swordsmen stand on the periphery, forming a triangular formation to break through. Swordsmen don't have to worry about your backs, we are behind you, and we will never let the swordsmen who protect us with flesh and blood get hurt!" Wei Yushu's voice was gentle but powerful, reaching everyone's ears.

No one thought about why it was Wei Yushu who commanded them at this time, but what Wei Yushu said was right, they stayed where they were, only to be surrounded by vines, and almost had no time to think, everyone began to obey Wei Yushu's command, formed a triangle formation and began to move towards Break through in one direction.

Wei Yushu's speed of casting light spells is extremely fast. The speed of Ian's casting of fire spells just now is simply incomparable. People in the battle may not realize it.But the bystanders standing on the cliff saw it very clearly.

The teachers present pointed at Wei Yushu in amazement: "This child's light spell is so fast! I have never seen a second grader who can cast healing spells so proficiently, and have such a wide coverage of the holy light!"

"That is the most talented child of the Granny family's generation. With such high talent and extraordinary strength, maybe the Granny family will have another archbishop."

Shen Xi was surprised and delighted, she hugged Alice: "My God, Phoenix chanted the spell too fast, I just saw her lips touched up and down, and a healing spell flew out. "

"Yeah!" Alice was worried about her face just now, and felt that it was too grandstanding for the public to be so surprised, but now she couldn't help but jumped up happily with Shen Xi.

And at this moment, I heard a loud roar from Cheno not far away: "Good job! You are indeed Phoenix!"

The corners of Alice's mouth couldn't stop rising. She was just about to talk to Edith, but when she turned her head, she found that Edith was not behind her at all.
