All of France: Summoners of the Rift, establish the Glory Hunters' Guild

Fortunately, the eerie atmosphere didn't last long, and soon the bus came to a steady stop in front of a cruise ship.

They are still on a cruise ship heading to a deserted island.

With a cool sea breeze blowing, Chen Qing, Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu, and Zhao Manyan sat together, examining the map they had just received.

The map was a flat map depicting a small island surrounded by ocean. The island was covered in dense jungle, and several areas were even circled in red with the words "Danger" marked in large red letters.

"The island isn't too small. There are about a hundred teams in our entire senior year. Since we're scattered, it's not easy for us to run into each other, so there's no need to worry about stealing monsters."

Chen Qing looked at the island, which was marked at the bottom of the map and stretched for over ten kilometers, and slowly began to speak:

"So it all depends on our luck, whether there are too many demons around for us to hunt."

Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu, and Zhao Manyan all nodded. They didn't offer any opinions, since Chen Qing ran a hunting lodge and had experience hunting demons.

"There's no use saying anything now. Let's wait and see where we can get to the island before making any plans." Chen Qing put away the map and looked towards the outline of the island that had already come into view in the distance.

……

A moment later, the cruise ship circled the island, dropping off hundreds of teams along the way, before it was Chen Qing's turn to join the four of them.

After logging in, Chen Qing instantly confirmed his location by looking at the surrounding terrain.

He looked at the area marked with a red circle on the map, and then at the sign in front of the dense forest that read "Danger Zone, Warlords Lurk Here." He had reason to suspect that the cruise ship had deliberately dropped them here.

"Look! This sign says there's a demon at the level of a warrior general!"

Ai Tutu pointed to the sign painted in red in front of him and shouted.

Mu Nujiao and Zhao Manyan also saw the notice board, and their expressions immediately became serious.

If a general-level demon has appeared, it means there must be a demon's lair nearby.

The basic requirement for forming a demon's lair is having more than fifty demons.

Chen Qing put away the map, his ears twitching slightly. His sound magic made him exceptionally sensitive to sound, and he could hear every rustle of wind within a hundred meters.

His gaze slowly shifted, finally settling on the darkness of a dense forest.

At this moment, a man hidden in the shadows paused slightly in his writing, his eyes filled with horror.

Have I been... discovered?

Chen Qing did indeed discover the other party; if it weren't for the fact that the Shadow element couldn't conceal breathing, he wouldn't have been able to find them.

However, he did not expose the fact that during field assessments, without someone to protect them, these students who had just come out of the ivory tower would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

At that point, not only will the forces behind these students be affected, but even the country itself might have to get involved.

Chen Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at the three of them, saying, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it."

"Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look."

After saying that, he led the way into the dense forest, glancing at the sign as he passed by.

Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu, and Zhao Manyan looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow behind Chen Qing.

Ai Tutu gripped Mu Nujiao's hand nervously, after all, she was the only one among the four who was a beginner mage and had no combat experience whatsoever.

Although Mu Nujiao and Zhao Manyan were mid-level mages, their condition was not much better.

One of them is a light and water type, and the other is a plant and wind type. Their individual combat power is not as high as that of the lightning and fire types.

They were really unsure if they actually encountered a demon of the general level.

But seeing Chen Qing stride forward, they could only helplessly follow closely behind.

The man hidden in the darkness behind him frowned, shook his head at Chen Qing who was walking at the front, and then wrote on the document in his hand:

[Lack of crisis awareness, deduct 3 points.]

Chen Qing had no idea that he had already lost three points before he even started killing the demons.

At this moment, his hearing was amplified to the extreme. The rustling of leaves in the wind, the cracking of branches and leaves underfoot, and the sound of soft soil collapsing all rushed into his ears.

However, after a period of adjustment, he has been able to automatically block out these noises.

Glug glug—

Suddenly, a strange sound reached Chen Qing's ears. He stopped in his tracks and turned his head to listen carefully in the direction from which the sound came.

Glug glug—

Chen Qing listened more carefully now; it was the sound of a creature snoring while sleeping.

The three people behind him were puzzled when they saw him stop.

Chen Qing turned to look at them and said in a low voice, "There are demons over there. To avoid alerting them, Mu Nujiao, go check it out first using the wind rails. If you encounter any danger, call for help immediately."

The three of them were somewhat taken aback upon hearing this, but Mu Nujiao was the first to react. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded emphatically: "Okay, leave it to me."

Just as Ai Tutu was about to say something, Mu Nujiao stopped her with a single look.

Chen Qing looked at Mu Nujiao, who had successfully laid the wind tunnel in three seconds, and said sincerely, "Be careful."

Mu Nujiao nodded, then stepped onto the wind track and sped away like an arrow released from a bow. Her beautiful body shimmered like a butterfly flitting among flowers, and she soon disappeared behind the layers of tree canopy.

Ai Tutu stared nervously in the direction where Mu Nujiao had disappeared, then angrily said to Chen Qing, "Chen Qing, what right do you have to let Sister Mu go and see if there are any demons? That's so dangerous!"

Chen Qing looked at her and realized that this girl really was all looks and no brains. Could it be that her brain was underdeveloped and all of it had developed on her body?

"Among us, Mu Nujiao is a wind-type, so she's fast enough," he explained.

"That's too dangerous," Ai Tutu muttered softly.

Chen Qing ignored the big rabbit whose mind was full of nonsensical things and turned his gaze toward the direction where the demons were, focusing his hearing intently on the movements there.

Zhao Manyan was also a little nervous at this moment. After all, this was the first time that the playboy Zhao Er Gongzi had come to the wilderness and faced demons for the first time.

"roar--!!"

Suddenly, a loud roar erupted from the dense forest ahead, its sound like muffled thunder echoing through the woods, instantly scattering countless birds in flight.

Chen Qing's pupils contracted slightly, and a moon-white star trail instantly connected, opening a passage to another dimension.

A crimson monster with enormous fists burst out of the passage. Sensing Chen Qing's intention, it bent its legs and flew out at lightning speed like a spring.

Then Chen Qing, along with the anxious Ai Tutu and the somewhat frightened Zhao Manyan, quickly ran forward.

"Zhao Manyan, prepare your defensive magic. Don't let us down at the crucial moment."

"Aitutu, get your plant magic ready... never mind, just hide behind me and don't cause any trouble."
