The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 761 Three Thousand Mirror Ruins 28
The surrounding scenery instantly distorted and stretched, turning into a dizzying stream of colorful light, as if one had been thrown into a giant kaleidoscope.

After a brief period of weightlessness and spatial displacement, the feeling of being grounded finally returned.

At the same time, an extremely rich air, mixed with countless scents of grass, trees, and soil, and even a faint floral fragrance and some unknown energy factor, suddenly rushed into my nostrils.

Regarding the situations that might be encountered when first entering the colorful wilderness and the corresponding solutions, everyone's practice plan included a large number of contingency plans.

Therefore, after a brief period of spatial teleportation, everyone subconsciously acted in accordance with the "primary principle of landing" emphasized in the plan.

Steady position, defend, assemble!

No one screamed in panic, and no one looked around blankly.

Almost the instant they steadied themselves, the twelve figures moved in as swiftly as well-trained soldiers, their long swords already drawn, flashing with cold light, forming a tight, almost impenetrable circular formation back to back.

With their blades pointed outwards, they scanned their respective fan-shaped areas with sharp eyes, wary of any possible attack.

No one expected Yan Shuang's protection.

From the very beginning, Teacher Yan Shuang coldly declared that she would only follow secretly and would never intervene unless there was a real life-threatening crisis.

They can only rely on themselves and their classmates.

After remaining on high alert for about a minute or two, and confirming that there were no immediate threats within their line of sight, the formation relaxed slightly, but still maintained a basic defensive posture, focusing more attention on the surrounding environment.

This appears to be a vast meadow with slightly undulating terrain, offering a fairly open view, with sparse trees in the distance and the hazy, undulating mountain outlines further away.

The seasons change unpredictably in the colorful wilderness. Here, spring, summer, autumn, and winter may appear at the same time, or all four seasons may cycle through in a single day.

The plants and animals here are affected by drastic seasonal changes and have very unique habits.

To have a good harvest in the colorful wilderness, learning to observe and even predict the seasonal changes and strike at the right time is a crucial step.

The sky over the colorful fields presents different appearances in different seasons, making it the easiest way to identify the seasons.

Everyone knows this information by heart.

After getting a general idea of ​​their surroundings, they all looked up at the sky.

The sky above them was not the familiar azure, but a strange, dazzling color, like a spilled palette.

The eastern horizon was softly tinged with tender green and pink hues, representing the vitality and new life of spring.

The western sky was filled with thick, full, white clouds that only appear on a midsummer afternoon, and further away, the thick, dark clouds seemed to hold the power of a thunderstorm.

The southern sky was a clear, deep blue, a color unique to autumn, so clean it was free of any impurities.

Near the northern horizon, grayish-white cold air clouds surged slowly like a tide, a clear sign of winter.

Their current location is right at the crossroads of the four seasons, where the temperature feels strange and disjointed.

Standing here, it feels as if the left side of my body is bathed in the warmth of the spring sun, while the right side feels the chill of the autumn wind.

The winds blowing from different directions are even more absurd; one gust brings the biting chill of northern ice and snow, while the next gust may bring the sweltering heat of western summer, making people feel extremely confused.

The plants on this meadow beneath our feet faithfully reflect the seasons indicated by the sky. The grass on the east side is tender and lush, just sprouting and adorned with glistening dewdrops.

The flowers and plants on the west side are in full bloom, their colors vibrant and rich, full of the vitality of midsummer.

The grass on the south side has mostly turned golden, like a golden carpet, exuding the desolation and maturity of autumn.

The vegetation on the north side is the most resilient. Some mosses and cold-resistant plants clinging to the ground have a thin layer of white frost on their surfaces, which shimmers in the weak sunlight, stubbornly surviving in the cold winter.

As far as the eye could see, this meadow, nestled between the four seasons, was unusually quiet. Apart from the different sounds made by the wind blowing through the grass at different heights and in different conditions, there were no obvious traces of any mirror beasts.

"Phew~ Good luck, it's the place where the four seasons meet!" Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Others, after determining from various characteristics that this was a place where the four seasons intersected, also felt very fortunate.

Elsewhere, silence only arouses suspicion, making people worry that some danger may be lurking beneath the surface of tranquility.

But it's normal in places where the four seasons meet.

The mirror beasts of the colorful plains, whether they have fixed activity areas or migrate with the changing seasons, mostly prefer to stay in a single season.

Such places, where the four seasons intersect, would disrupt the elements within their bodies, so the Mirror Beasts were unwilling to stay there.

But for the students of Exploration Class 1 who had just arrived at the Colorful Wilderness and hadn't yet determined their exact location, this was undoubtedly the best starting point.

Nobody wants to be attacked unexpectedly before they are ready.

"Judging from the brightness of the sky, it should be the 'afternoon' time in the colorful fields now."

After careful observation, Wang Jingnan analyzed the situation in a very organized manner:

"According to records, night falls relatively quickly here, and the sky is not clearly visible at night, which greatly increases the level of danger."

It will be completely dark in at most three hours.

Our immediate priority is to work together to set up a makeshift camp, then quickly formulate a plan for our subsequent exploration and hunting, and begin our operation at daybreak.

"Alright! I think the terrain here is relatively flat and the view is decent, let's set up camp here!"

Zhou Ming was the first to respond. He was physically strong and always the most enthusiastic about setting up camp and doing manual labor.

Bai Wei, Ren Miao, Zhu Rao, and Ding Yan, the students who received financial assistance from the Wang family, all nodded in agreement.
"The captain is right, ensuring a safe overnight stay is the most important thing."

"We will follow the captain's instructions."

……

Mo Lan, Lin Yue, Chen Xingye, Su Yu, Zhao Wuchen, and Xiang Yufan have no connection with the Wang family, so they don't need to prioritize Wang Jingnan's opinions in everything like they do.

However, none of them were really interested in leading, organizing, or arranging the team's specific actions.

However, when assigning the task, Teacher Yan Shuang clearly emphasized that the twelve of them must act as a whole during this off-campus practice.

Therefore, when formulating the implementation plan, they had already reached a private agreement:
On the surface, Wang Jingnan, who has the most resources and is willing to take on leadership responsibilities, was nominated as the team leader to be responsible for overall coordination and scheduling. However, major decisions within the team are not made by him alone.
