Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

Time flew by, and new troubles arose.

Lin Dichen, who had been paying close attention to the markings on the mechanical watch face, exclaimed in surprise, "Strange, why isn't it dawn yet!"

The other three also opened their eyes, looking bewildered.

Yero pondered for a moment, then suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. "Oh no, we've overlooked something. The way time flows here might be different from the main plane."

They naturally assumed that they entered Paradise Island in the early morning!

What if the previous day was just the tail end of the daytime on the island?

That means this night will be very, very long...

“That’s right. According to the time division of the main plane, this fault plane will rotate between seven days of daylight and seven days of night. In other words, night here is equivalent to seven days in the main plane. It seems that your luck is not too good.”

Another voice came from above, startling Mach and Xiao Nuo.

Lin Dichen poked his head out into the fierce wind and saw the black knight sitting on the dragon's back. He shouted happily, "Invincible Teacher? That's great! You're still alive! I thought you hadn't come up yet!"

Nolan rolled his eyes. "If you can talk, then talk more!"

"and many more!"

Mach's heart skipped a beat as he realized, "So, the next two days will be entirely nighttime?!"

Their challenge was three days in the main plane, but they couldn't even finish one night on Paradise Island!

"Damn, this is awful!"

Lin Dichen was stunned for a moment, then angrily clenched his fist.

72. Nowhere is safe.

Xiao Nuo's face turned pale as she looked desperately at the towering tree behind her, which grew so tall it reached the sky. It was like a city wall, firmly trapping all creatures that dared to trespass inside.

They might not be able to return to the outer coordinates in two days...

"Roar!"

Ekaterina let out a clear whistle, expressing her pent-up frustration and agitation, yet remaining calm.

The forest was growing at an alarming rate, and she couldn't turn back. If she recklessly leaped upwards, she might touch the turbulent currents at the edge of the fault, which would be even more dangerous.

The truth is that this year's Heavenly Expedition participants weren't the unluckiest. With seven days of daylight and seven days of darkness alternating according to the Prime Time, daytime is naturally the safest.

Judging from the density of the fog, entering the plane after nightfall will only lead to an even more terrifying primeval forest, where the monsters become stronger as the night deepens.

For students, the shorter the nights during these three days, the better. The optimal answer would be the sixth segment of the daytime, ending with the hunt at the beginning of the last night, when the forest has not yet completely descended into madness.

Assuming it's the end of the night, perhaps one can find a lucky break, and the next three days will be peaceful.

But there must have been quite a few trainees who happened to be able to walk through seven days without incident, so why are there still so few who manage to make it out alive...?

Yero shook her head, trying to dispel the strange thoughts from her mind; her brain was already overloaded.

Now we can only hope that Senior Sister Ekaterina can hold on for two more days and find a way to cross the sea of ​​trees and leave this hellish place.

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

More and more troubles were piling up. Lin Dichen shook his head, feeling utterly overwhelmed, and placed his last hope on that invincible, invincible master.

However, the Black Knight, embracing the mist, wisely refrained from making a bold statement like the handsome older man, which only fueled the "school beauty's" despair.

"Let's keep going!"

Ekaterina's voice was firm and cold, casually deciding the future of everyone.

Surprisingly, the haughty Dragon Princess did not resist the Chaos Knight sitting on her back.

Dragons have always been unruly and would rather die than submit to lower creatures, which makes dragon knights the most powerful and rarest warrior class among the higher classes.

The inescapable predicament darkened Mach and the others' spirits, making them feel as if they were walking into a trap set by the god of death.

Even saints are not confident of escaping alive?

Yero's heart sank.

They had never heard of this mysterious red mist before. On the first day of the night, these creatures had already transformed from wild beasts into monsters. If this continued, could a demon that had broken through to the Saint Realm appear?!

Nolan was also very interested in this.

If she initially only had the idea of ​​completing the mission, now she's genuinely curious about what will happen on the island on the seventh day of the night.

The couple shared the same idea and decided to go to the center of the island to find out more.

At this moment, Invincible suddenly lowered his head and said with a smile, "Here's a little hint for you: no one has ever said that the sky is safe."

"What do you mean...?"

Before Lin Dichen could finish speaking, he was jolted by the giant dragon's body and almost fell from a great height.

"Gaha!"

A sharp screech accompanied the gale as a huge red-eyed bird clung to Catherine, its sharp beak pecking at the dragon's back and tearing off several crystalline scales.

The giant bird's claws tore at the dragon's wings, immediately causing the dragon to lose its balance. The two giant beasts tumbled and wrestled in the air before falling to the ground.

The four clung tightly to the dragon's claw; the violent shaking and strong winds made it difficult for them to even stand.

Yero felt dizzy and unable to sing. In her swirling vision, a huge black shadow appeared and was rapidly approaching!

Catherine also noticed the crazed giant pterosaur. She grabbed the damned bird and spat out a mouthful of white crystalline flame, instantly setting its colorful feathers ablaze.

With a flick of her long tail, the crystal dragon swept the screaming bird toward another predator, then flapped her wings to regain her balance and plummeted vertically toward the ground. She couldn't fly while protecting the others.

With a flap of its four fleshy wings, the pterosaur bit down on the giant bird engulfed in flames, its sharp claws gouging out the eye sockets and piercing through the head of the mutated level twelve redbird.

The giant bird flapped its wings a few times and then stopped moving. The pterosaur sipped a few mouthfuls of flesh and blood, then dropped the corpse and continued its pursuit of the fleeing creature.

The pterosaur glided with its four wings at an astonishing speed, quickly catching up and opening its mouth to bite the four people in its arms.

Catherine's wing was injured and bleeding profusely. She was somewhat weak and repeatedly twisted her body to narrowly avoid the sharp fangs, adding several more bloody marks to her strong body.

The red mist gradually filled the sky and gathered towards the inner island, indicating that danger was lurking everywhere.

This pterosaur was clearly more terrifying than the giant bird from before, its aura approaching that of a level fourteen magical beast!

The senior student is already injured and unable to break free. Even if they manage to escape to the ground, can they deal with this mutated monster?

With the ground almost in front of her, the falling Catherine suddenly spread her giant wings and stopped abruptly in mid-air. She reversed her position and pounced on the unsuspecting pterosaur, using her size and the force of the impact to bite down hard on its neck, and together they crashed heavily to the ground.

The two giant beasts landed with a thud, rolling and rubbing against the lush forest, snapping many trees in their tracks.

Despite being covered in blood, the dragon still held on tightly to the pterosaur's neck, pressing down on its body with all its might, its intense dragon breath scorching the charred skin.

At the same time, the four of them rolled back to the ground and landed on the grass. Lin Dichen reacted the fastest, suppressing his nausea, and drew his black sword, using all his strength to stab the most vulnerable red eyeball.

"Crack!"

The black sword pierced the enormous eyeball, and the pterosaur, writhing in agony, struggled even more fiercely.

Lin Dichen could no longer hold onto the sword hilt and was violently thrown against a tree trunk. He felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break. Ma He and the other two also launched a group attack, using their secret techniques and martial arts to bombard the giant beast's head.

The pterosaur's blood splattered across the earth, and its massive jaws lashed out, biting and scratching wildly. After struggling desperately for a long time, it finally stopped moving.

Everyone collapsed to the ground with a sigh of relief, panting for fresh air. The vegetation here did not seem to be covered by the red mist yet.

Lin Dichen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stepped on the pterosaur's eerie eyeball, pulled out his sword, and spent a lot of effort to gouge out the big eyeball and put it into his spatial ring. He then used his toothpick-like longsword to cut the beast's body for a while, barely managing to pull off a piece of tough skin and a few claws.

Faced with the three men's amused gazes, the young man from the East, who had been grinning foolishly, blushed.

"What? This is proof that we defeated a level 14 magical beast. If word got out, it would scare those brats at school to death. Isn't this exactly why we recklessly challenged an S-level project?"

Faced with the fear of death, these things seem less important.

It's all thanks to this woman, who is also a monster...

Mach and Little Noah looked at the exhausted dragon with gratitude in their eyes.

The Arbitration Saintess, barely managing to support her delicate frame, cast healing prayers on her wounded senior. Unfortunately, as she was in charge of judgment and adjudication in the temple, her light elemental spirits were weak, and the healing spells had little effect.

73. Taking over the battlefield

The Arbitration Saintess, barely managing to support her delicate frame, cast healing prayers on her wounded senior. Unfortunately, as she was in charge of judgment and adjudication in the temple, her light elemental spirits were weak, and the healing spells had little effect.

"I am fine."

Ekaterina shook her head, her enormous body becoming transparent, gradually shrinking into human form amidst the crystalline light.

The Dragon Princess lay on the ground, her naked body covered, her gray hair disheveled and her breathing rapid. Several deep wounds, visible to the bone, were visible on her smooth back and large tail, a heartbreaking sight.

If it weren't for the superior bloodline of the Gem Dragon, she would have been torn to shreds by a savage beast far superior to her own level long ago.

The black knight, blending seamlessly into the night, appeared like a ghost, tore off his cloak and wrapped it around the outstanding girl, then gently lifted her up.

Ekaterina glanced at the advisor who was slacking off, a smile playing on her lips, as if she were even more certain of something. She then leaned naturally on Invincible's shoulder and closed her eyes.

Lin Dichen rolled his eyes, still in the mood to complain after collecting the materials: "So you finally decided to come out? When are you planning to make your move? Are you waiting for us to die?"

What do you think?

Nolan glared at him irritably, and the whining boy immediately shut his noisy cherry lips.

“My mission is to keep you from dying, but you always choose the most foolish things to seek your own death. These are just stronger beasts, not even intelligent monsters. They should have been your prey, but you have been reduced to the same level and have been crushed everywhere.”

As long as they don't die, go all out to kill them.

That's how Nolan understood Janna's meaning; otherwise, what's the difference between a teacher and a bodyguard?

Yelu and Lin Dichen blushed. One unexpected event after another had occurred, and in their haste, they hadn't considered the best strategy for dealing with the mindless beast. They possessed a soul but were extremely lacking in adaptability.

Ekaterina snorted softly, offering no rebuttal; the word "foolish" included her as well.

After escaping, they should have landed in the woodland before the red mist invaded and advanced covertly. It would have been naive of them to stay in the sky and become targets.

Lin Dichen made a face and said, "Stronger beasts? You make it sound so easy. I hope you can still say that when a beast of level sixteen or higher appears!"

Perhaps to prove his jinx, a sudden drumbeat was heard, and the earth trembled.

Everyone's hearts pounded inexplicably as they realized they were hearing heavy footsteps behind them, as if thousands of giant beasts were galloping towards them.
