Sorcerer's Survival Manual

No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to go into the mountains when it's time to go.

The scope of this test is very large, there are as many as five hills, and even if these hills are only the outer reaches of the Qian'an Mountains, they are already inaccessible places, and even the mutants who have frequently entered the mountains to hunt recently are rare. There are those who come over these few hills.

The reason is that there are quite a few mutated beasts on these hills, but the highest level is only level [-], and they are all races that live in groups. The high-level mutators are familiar with the nearby terrain and mutations. After the beasts were distributed, they chose other places that were more suitable for hunting, and low-level mutants did not dare to venture up the mountain. Only those mutants with a small number of three or four levels would come here to hunt. Of course, there are very few teams like this.

So there are very few people on these hills, and sometimes you may not be able to meet a few people after walking for a day.

The seven student groups entered the mountain together, but they separated on the way. The school gave them a map with the distribution of mutant beasts, and they could find the activity area of ​​the task target along the map.

But for the students who went hunting in the mountains for the first time and all their knowledge comes from books, this assessment can be regarded as suffering.

First of all, the first point is that not everyone can understand how to look at the map.

Holding a tool like a compass, they can tell the difference between east, west, and north, yes, but it is still very difficult to compare the map with the actual road, especially in this kind of inaccessible mountain, even if there is a map, there is no road in front of them. , they don't know how to go.

Simply, the terrain they are going to challenge this time is a mountain range, and the target is between several hills. Even if they can't find the way, they will not get lost if they go to the hill where the target is. .

However, Wang Shan ran like a dead horse. For these students who didn't even know the way, their speed can be imagined.

In addition, the dangers in the mountains are everywhere.

Summer in June is the peak season for snakes. In this kind of wild forest, there may be snakes hidden in any bushes or treetops. Even if they are not mutant beasts, or are bitten by ordinary poisonous snakes, they have to quit early assessment.

At the beginning, the students regarded this assessment as an outing. Apart from the fact that their task objects were troublesome, they had no awareness of the dangers that might exist in other mountains.

But when they were always frightened by the snakes and other animals rushing away from the grass and treetops, they realized that this was not an outing, but an assessment that could cause accidents if they were not careful.

Fortunately, every student has brought a powder pack to prevent snakes and insects. The powder pack is uniformly distributed by the school, otherwise some careless students might not have thought of it.

Of course, in order to increase the difficulty of the assessment, the medicine powder package is just an ordinary medicine powder package, and no animal repelling powder is used, otherwise they might not even be able to catch the shadow of the mutant beast along the way.

It was precisely because of the powder packs that these students saw the shadows of the fleeing snakes, instead of the ferocious appearance of them jumping out and biting people.

The most thrilling scene happened in Chen Shanluo's team. There were six people in their team, three men and three women. Except for him and another girl, the other members were all first-level mutants. Although the level was not high, Team Five The students here have their own specialties, they have prepared a lot of magic items they made, and they are very confident in this assessment, so even if the task target is a fourth-level mutant beast, they are not afraid, and feel that they will definitely pass the assessment, maybe even There is still a chance to fight for the first place. After all, the mission target they are looking for is the closest, and although it is not a mutant beast acting alone, it is only a family activity. Unlike Han Qing and the others, the most troublesome one is drawn Wind Speed ​​Monkey.

As a result, he almost died before he left.

In Chen Shanluo's team, he has the highest rank and the oldest age, so he will naturally assume the position of captain, but all of them are young, sixteen or seventeen-year-old young boys and girls, when they are formally curious, they will It was the first time to go up the mountain, and I knew that there was a teacher in the dark to protect them, so everyone was a little bit confident. They almost regarded this assessment as an outing, playing tricks along the way, and singing pop songs casually when they were happy.

There is a little girl in their team named Meng Xi, who is very talented in potions but has a confused personality. When passing by a big tree, she felt a little thirsty, so she stopped to drink from a water bottle. When she looked up, she happened to meet the tree next to her. A snake hanging from the tree met his eyes.

The snake's feet were two fingers wide, and its body was emerald green. It was hidden among the leaves, and it was extremely difficult to find. When the little girl saw it, the snake was no more than half an arm's distance away from her, just enough to hold the three-angled snake's head and the snake's head. The Scarlet Snake letter read it straight.

Obviously, it's a venomous snake.

"what!!!"

A scream came out of Mengxi's mouth, and then the little girl threw the kettle in her hand regardless.

The girl's voice was sharp and frightening at this moment, not only frightening people, but also frightening the snake. The snake had no intention of attacking at first, but after being frightened by this, it reflexively ran towards her.

This scene was also seen by the partners of the same team. They were inexperienced. When they saw the snake, instead of trying to keep calm, they screamed like Mengxi. The three boys should calm down, but they can't control it. Stopping the girls' mouths, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

When the slender snake body wrapped around her arms, Mengxi almost fainted from fright. She froze in place, her whole body trembling like a sieve, her face turned pale with fright, and she didn't dare to scream anymore. She just rushed towards the others anxiously. Crying: "Take it away quickly!!!"

"Don't move, don't move!" Chen Shanluo ran around with Master Chen before, and knew a little about snakes. While comforting her, he looked for a stick everywhere, intending to pick the snake away.

The others didn't dare to bark anymore, but they all shrank to one side, not knowing what to do. The snake looked poisonous, and it was emerald green. They all wondered if it was Zhuyeqing.

But the current Zhuyeqing is not an ordinary animal but a mutant beast, and its toxicity is only stronger than before.

They dare not lean over to help at all.

Then an unexpected scene happened.

The snake was originally ready to bite because it was frightened, but it jumped onto Mengxi's arm and swam forward for a while. It moved into the nearby grass and disappeared.

When the shadow of the snake was no longer in sight, Mengxi ran to his companion in three steps at a time, and then sat down on the ground with his legs softening.

Everyone was startled, and suddenly lost their minds: "Oh, what's wrong with you? Did you get bitten? Do you want to call the teacher?!"

"No, no." Mengxi's face was pale, with tears in his eyes, and he looked overly frightened: "I wasn't bitten, but my legs became weak and I couldn't stand up."

After she finished speaking, she reached out and took out the medicine bag she was hanging around her neck, with a look of rejoicing: "Fortunately, I was wearing this, otherwise I might have been bitten just now."

This medicine bag is naturally the medicine bag issued by the school, but Mengxi put a little animal repelling powder made by herself in it. She controlled the dosage so that the effect range of the animal repelling powder would be narrowed to the whole body, so that it would not spread too far to scare people. Walking away from a mutant beast, so the snake ran away when it smelled her and scared away.

Although there was no danger, after this episode, no one dared to take it lightly. They repaired on the spot for a while, found branches to act as pathfinding sticks, and then set off again.

In the school, Ansair observed the progress of the Seventh Team Five through the wizard's eyes. Seeing this scene, he showed a helpless expression to the teachers who followed him out of curiosity and said: "The survival of this group of students in the wild is very difficult." The ability is so bad that I think it is necessary to add a related course from the next semester."

The puppet teacher is naturally what he said, and the teachers of the ordinary class looked at the video on the screen and felt that these students should increase some relevant knowledge, especially seeing the appearance of their little principal. Similar assessments in the future I'm afraid there will be more, this is the first time such an accident has happened, if we don't take precautions early, what will we do in the future.

A teacher suddenly said: "Speaking of which, our school doesn't seem to prepare for military training."

The students don't know that their principal has added another class to him, and he is still suffering in the mountains.

In this assessment, in addition to various possible dangers, the students' food and night accommodation are also top priorities. There is no shortage of water in the Qian'an Mountains. There are streams and springs in the mountains. They have no shortage of drinking water, but food can only be obtained by themselves. , Although everyone brought their own food, most of them were snacks. One or two meals was enough, and it was impossible to last for a few days.

So everyone unanimously turned their attention to the animals in the mountains, and many people even prepared seasonings for barbecue in their backpacks.

It's just that hunting is more difficult than they imagined. The animals on these hills are not high-level, and they are basically the rations of other mutant beasts. Therefore, these small animals know how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. If there is any trouble, they will immediately run away without a trace Wuying was not something a few students could catch up to, and they couldn't beat the stronger ones, and they didn't dare to provoke them.

So on the first day, most of these students fell asleep hungry after eating the food they brought.

Fortunately, the mountains are rich in products, and they can't catch prey, so they set their sights on those wild fruits and vegetables and even fungi.

Now this season, the wild fruits and delicacies on the mountain are also coming out one after another. They learned a lot of plant knowledge when learning potions from Ansair one by one. They know how to distinguish which plants can be eaten and which plants cannot be touched. They picked a lot of wild fruits and vegetables, and unless those fungi were 100% sure they could be eaten, they didn't dare to try them, so they didn't starve themselves afterwards.

This is probably the only comfort for the watching teachers - if they have to withdraw from the exam because they fainted from hunger, it sounds too embarrassing.

But not being able to hunt prey to satisfy their hunger also exposed their shortcomings in ability. Their mission this time is to hunt mutant beasts. If they can't even catch low-level mutant beasts, how can they catch the target mission?

The members of the seven teams were all discussing this issue, and finally, they set their sights on the adult mutants they met on the road.
