The piercing roar was swallowed up by the sea of ​​trees, and all that could be heard was the rustling of flowers and grasses clinging to each other.

Lin Dichen

Well, at least now they know how that Ceylon student died in the forest...

He did not die in the daytime, but perished in the night!

One wave subsides only for another to rise, but the expedition team's goal remains unchanged.

Live!

Now only the sky is a safe place.

Yero summoned a flame storm to keep the vines away and shouted urgently towards the sky, "Senior!"

Catherine circled and roared, burning the trees with flames, seemingly unwilling to escape.

Even she had to admit that if she fell down and went against the entire forest, she would be reduced to ashes. So she immediately spewed dragon fire to surround the foot of the hillside, defending against the attacking flowers and plants.

The raging fire is the natural enemy of plants, and it temporarily held back the encroachment of the forest.

"Come on up!"

The crystal dragon slowly descended onto the hillside, its voice still that of a cold woman. It opened its claws, allowing everyone to stand on them.

The half-dead elf's pupils contracted slightly, and he pointed behind Catherine, shouting, "Watch out!"

A giant tree trunk bent and tried to entangle the dragon through the ring of fire, their last lifeline.

choke!

A flash of white light appeared in the darkness, and the giant tree split in two, falling and twisting in the flames.

A bearded middle-aged man slowly emerged from the darkness, carrying a large knife as tall as himself, which he used to chop down the surrounding trees as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"teacher!"

The weakened elven boy looked grateful; his shattered magic shield was nowhere to be found.

"You've already done a great job. Leave this to me, you can go now."

The middle-aged man took off his hat and bowed to the crowd, effortlessly shutting out all threats. His lines and timing of appearance were incredibly cool, leaving the students with only a heroic silhouette, exuding swagger.

Denton's advisor/mentor...

Yero and Lin Dichen breathed a sigh of relief and climbed onto the dragon's claw.

On the other hand, the invincible knight on Saint Lenza's side, who should have carried them to victory, kept running out to pee whenever he had nothing to do, and would only pretend to be dead when something happened!

Are you alright?

"It's all alright now. As for why... it's because I came!"

The uncle gave a thumbs up, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

Just because the last boy asked a question, a gaping maw suddenly emerged from the soil and bit him in two!

"Huh?"

The sorcerer looked bewildered, still holding onto the captain's arm with one hand as he prepared to climb onto the dragon's claw, when he could no longer feel his lower body.

Amid the young priest's horrified screams, Catherine took flight, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.

Even an ordinary Venus flytrap can become a deadly killer when exposed to mist.

The entire island went crazy in the night!

Damn it!

The man turned around in astonishment and with a single stroke severed the Venus flytrap that was snapping open and chewing the Denton student to pieces, but it was too late.

The people on the dragon's claws were stunned and terrified, their minds blank.

The horrific scene before him and the cries of his companions froze the elven boy's body as the sorcerer's hand slipped from his grasp, his bloodied upper body falling into the sea of ​​trees...

The next second, a familiar roar burst forth from the wood, and the giant ape with bloodshot eyes struggled to climb out of the sea of ​​trees, its aura surging to level sixteen!

The giant ape slammed its arms and hands down on the tree and grabbed the unsuspecting mentor, Denton.

The man was startled and slashed wildly at the hairy giant hand with his broadsword. Blood spurted out, but he couldn't stop the five fingers from gradually closing together.

The ape's lower body was entangled by the plant, and the vines and thorns burrowed into its skin, devouring its flesh. It looked extremely painful and was struggling to survive. The level 15 Soul Warrior was helpless at this moment and was about to be swallowed up as well.

The giant ape let out a mournful howl, grabbed the tiny human with both hands, and tore him in two instantly. The screams stopped abruptly, and blood rained down.

He was handsome... but only for three seconds.

71. Nighttime in Hell

Those on the dragon claw who witnessed this scene were drenched in cold sweat, watching helplessly as the giant ape and Mentor Denton disappeared from sight.

"This... can't be real, right?"

The elf boy punched himself in the chest, his eyes red-rimmed.

The young pastor buried his face in his hands and wept bitterly, unable to withstand the series of blows that followed into the night.

Thus, the Denton Academy expedition team suffered heavy losses, with an outstanding student and an instructor killed in action, and it remains to be seen whether the remaining two can leave alive.

It turns out that not a single word of the rumors about Paradise Island is fabricated; even a mentor who is easily overconfident will die there...

Looking down from the sky, a strange red mist rises continuously from the ground, and all the affected creatures are mutating. The dark, dense forests twist and turn, like a giant, tangled serpent, making one's scalp tingle.

No, perhaps not all creatures, only the native species on the island, did not go mad.

This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

The advancement of the soul obtained by losing one's mind is meaningless.

There was no time for mourning. Roars rose and fell from all directions, and the riot seemed to be everywhere. The giant ape they encountered was just one of the raging beasts.

Looking down into the sea of ​​trees, one can see many giant monsters tearing and struggling among the vines, each emanating powerful spiritual energy.

During the day, the crawling lizards transformed into ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex in the fog, and harmless insects and beasts mutated into monstrous creatures that prey on humans.

"What exactly is going on?"

Yero covered her mouth, and after imagining herself still on the ground, she felt a chill run down her spine.

No one could answer this question; it turns out, this is the real "paradise".

The eerie atmosphere of Paradise Island under the cover of night solved Lin Dichen's previous doubts.

The red mist catalyzed not only alien creatures, but also some rare herbs and rare crystal veins emerging from the earth's crust.

Brightly colored fruits with unidentifiable names exude an alluring aroma at the top of the tree canopy. The seven-colored flowers, clearly unique, are wrapped in thorny brambles. Looking around, the sea of ​​trees is full of treasures!

The materials in that spatial ring are readily available at night, provided you're alive to retrieve them.

The corpses of the dead monsters and their magic cores were right below, so the students didn't even need to lift a finger. Unfortunately, even if Lin Dichen had a million times the courage, he wouldn't dare go down. He could only watch as the rare treasures catalyzed and grew, drooling with envy.

During the day, the island is a paradise on earth, no different from the academy's back garden.

But at night, the entire island descends into a mad hell shrouded in fog, where all life is at odds with the outsiders.

Based on this, it can be inferred that these treasures that could make people rich overnight will wither and disappear as the red mist dissipates during the day.

The severely injured elf stood up, arms crossed, and forced a smile, saying, "Oh, right, I haven't thanked you for your help yet. My name is Maher, Maher Sengo, and her name is No, you can call her Little No..."

Mach's voice grew softer and softer until he finally fell silent. There were two more names that needed to be introduced.

Now, however, it doesn't matter anymore...

They remained on Paradise Island forever.

Senge is the surname of the forest elves, a member of Highgarden, and belongs to the forces of the Light Elves.

The brave and fearless Mach is indeed an upright and honest man, which makes people like him.

Although they brought the trouble upon themselves, they also paid a heavy price.

"Lin Dichen".

"Ye Luo".

The two chuckled, and Lin Dichen patted his dragon leg, saying with a smile, "By the way, this is Senior Sister Ekaterina. We escaped this ordeal thanks to her."

The follower of the goddess of fate removed his cloak, revealing a pair of fluffy white ears; he was a white fox, a rare sight among orcs.

With tears streaming down her delicate face, Xiao Nuo timidly expressed her gratitude to Saint Rensa.

After a brief self-introduction, Lin Dichen shook hands with Ma He, scratched the back of his head, and, unsure how to offer comfort, could only say, "Please accept my condolences."

"This is not a place we should be at all."

Mach shuddered, utterly exhausted and already contemplating retirement.

Denton Academy's strength is comparable to that of Saint Lensa. The strongest member of the three-person team is Mach, an eleventh-level shield guard, and the handsome uncle from earlier is a peak fifteenth-level instructor.

This expedition nearly suffered total annihilation due to carelessness, demonstrating that Skuld's concerns were not unfounded.

The same thought also occurred to Yero and Xiao Nuo, and the two girls meditated uneasily, drawing souls from the air.

They were lucky this night, but how will they spend the next night?

The path they had come from was completely blocked by a dense sea of ​​vines and trees. The further they went, the stronger the restless atmosphere became, as if forcing them to move forward.

Unable to assess the situation, Catherine circled for a while, her vertical pupils becoming serious, and had no choice but to fly deeper into the primeval forest.

But what terrible things await them ahead?

The five of them couldn't imagine it.

Xiao Nuo wiped away her tears and said optimistically, "No, it's okay. The fog will disappear in the morning, and they'll be back to normal, right?"

Lin Dichen's eyes lit up. "That's it! The creatures on the island are all lazy during the day, just ordinary wild animals. As long as we can hold out until morning, we'll be safe!"

Yero and Mach nodded, relieved.

Flying through the night was tiring for Ekaterina, but it was better than going down to her death.

After deciding to withdraw, everyone huddled on the dragon's claws to rest.

The island was teeming with spirits, and the island quickly recovered its vitality. Under the glow of the healing spell, Mach, though not yet fully healed, looked much better.
