The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 784 Three Thousand Mirror Ruins 51
Almost simultaneously, a huge, withered head silently rose from the pool on the right. It was a slightly smaller but equally ferocious withered crocodile.

In an instant, the oppressive aura of the two two-star mirror beasts descended upon us as if it were a tangible force!

Along the way, they hunted groups of one-star mirror beasts and also surrounded and killed lone two-star mirror beasts.

But they had never faced two two-star Mirror Beasts simultaneously before. The pressure was mounting!
At other times, they would have run away long ago in this situation, but now, even if they can run for a while, they can't run forever.

If you want to leave the colorful wilderness, you can't miss the Azure Pool.

We have no choice but to grit our teeth and deal with it.

However, the two-star Mirror Beast is far more powerful than any of its previous opponents.

The Azure Scale Python possesses immense strength, high-level scale armor for defense, a wide-ranging sweeping tail, and venomous fangs.

The deadwood crocodile has thick, tough skin and flesh, making it difficult to defend against its ambush attacks. Its bite force is astonishing.

Although the team coordinated well and unleashed a barrage of skills, they could only barely maintain the battle line and were caught in a difficult stalemate. They could only hold on with all their might, and their mental energy was rapidly depleted as they continued to use skills.

As dusk settled, the afterglow of the setting sun painted the emerald lake with a magnificent orange-red hue, which then quickly faded.

As day turns to night, the unique cycle of the four seasons in the colorful fields reappears. The sweltering heat of midsummer recedes like the tide, and a warm and humid atmosphere, full of vitality, quietly spreads out, as if one has stepped from the dead of winter into the warm spring in an instant.

Moran, who had been paying close attention to the changes in the lake's surface, was the first to notice the change of seasons and immediately shouted, "Now! Stop fighting! Jump into the pool!"

Moran cannot break the deadlock by relying solely on martial arts and his overt mental strength and skills.

The two mirror beasts also had their beast cores among the two-star beast cores prepared by their original owners' parents.

If she can't be killed, and she already has the beast core, there's no point in continuing the fight.

Without hesitation, she created an extremely realistic illusion and rushed towards the Azure Scale Python and the Deadwood Crocodile to attract their attention as much as possible!

Hearing Moran's reminder, everyone perked up!

"Go!" Zhou Ming withstood a tail strike from the Azure Scale Python and used the force to retreat rapidly.

Zhu Rao also smashed the withered crocodile aside with his shield and turned to run away.

The others were already prepared, and without hesitation, they turned around and rushed to the lakeside at their fastest speed, then jumped into the Green Wave Pool like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

thump! thump! thump!
Upon contact with the lake water, the first sensation was a cold immersion, followed by a familiar pulling force that enveloped me. A flash of white light appeared before my eyes, and all sounds and sights quickly faded away and became blurred.

The next moment, a dizzying sensation came over me.

When their vision cleared again, the cold, smooth ground replaced the muddy lake shore, and the familiar dome came into view. Behind them was a portal to the colorful plains; they had successfully returned to the Hall of Mirrors.

The relief of surviving the ordeal and the slight dizziness from the spatial teleportation intertwined, and they couldn't help but collapse to the ground, panting heavily.

Everyone's face was etched with extreme exhaustion, their hair was disheveled, and their combat uniforms were not only covered in mud and grass, but were also now soaked and clung to their bodies, constantly dripping water and spreading puddles on the smooth, mirror-like ground.

Just then, the portal to the nearby mossy stone forest also lit up with a bright light. When the light faded, the fifth-grade students from Class 1 of the Exploration Team, who had just finished an off-campus field trip, emerged.

Although they bore the marks of travel and some wear and tear from battle, they were clean and efficient overall, with composed expressions.

As soon as I came out, I saw my juniors sitting on the ground, soaking wet and covered in mud, as if they had just been pulled out of the water.

They were clearly taken aback for a moment, and then, someone couldn't help but let out a soft "pfft" that broke the silence of the Mirror Hall.

The laughter seemed contagious, immediately drawing suppressed chuckles and undisguised stares from other students.

There wasn't much malice in their gazes; rather, it was the kind of mocking and amusement that upperclassmen have when they see their underclassmen in such a sorry state.

"Hey, where did these junior students come from? Which puddle did they fall into?" A tall boy carrying a longbow joked with a smile.

"You're from the Colorful Wilderness, aren't you? Haha, you forgot to wear your waterproof suit!" Another short-haired girl chimed in with a laugh, her tone lighthearted.

"Tsk tsk, he looks really pitiful," someone commented, arms crossed.

……

Being watched and ridiculed is not a pleasant feeling. Wang Jingnan was somewhat indignant and wanted to stand up and argue, while Lin Yue's cheeks were slightly red, and she subconsciously wanted to tidy up her soaked hair and clothes.

Moran, having been a senior herself, knew how satisfying it was to see her juniors make the same mistakes she had made. She calmly told her classmates, "It's no big deal. Don't let their current appearances fool you; when they first came out of the Colorful Wilderness, they were probably just as wet!"

The laughter of the older students abruptly stopped, their playful and relaxed expressions freezing instantly. Many of them looked somewhat unnatural, and some even subconsciously touched their noses or looked away.

Moran's words really hit a nerve with them!

Their first off-campus field trip was to a water-eroded cave, the second was to a moss-covered stone forest, and they didn't go to the Colorful Wilderness until the start of the second semester of fourth grade.

When we came out of Green Wave Pool, we were not just soaked, we were in a terrible state! Almost everyone was injured, some more severely than others.

A strange sense of exhilaration and confidence instantly dispelled the previous embarrassment. Wang Jingnan straightened his back even more, and Lin Yue no longer tried to cover her soaked clothes. Instead, she slightly raised her chin. The other classmates looked at each other, their eyes filled with unspoken smiles and relief.

It turns out that these seemingly imposing senior students also have such a "unbearable" past!
One of the boys leading the fifth-grade team suddenly realized something, his face showing disbelief, and blurted out:

"Wait, why are you guys starting your off-campus field trip so early? And you even went to the Colorful Wilderness?"

The other fifth-grade students also realized something was wrong.

"Yeah! It's so early, they probably haven't extracted any beast core skills yet! There are two-star Mirror Beasts in the Colorful Plains!"

"You dare to venture into the Colorful Plains without even a single Beast Core skill? Who is your mentor? How dare you!"

Seeing their shocked expressions, Lin Yue cleared her throat and deliberately spoke in a tone that suggested "it's no big deal," saying, "Teacher Yan Shuang took us there, saying it was... well, to give us a preview."

"Yan Shuang?! It's that Yan Shuang?!" The fifth-year students gasped, their eyes turning into pure envy.

Who wouldn't want to be taught by the super genius Shikagashira!
