Chapter 384 - The Three Foolish Boys (1)
After the tutor left, the bunch of youths separated into their four different camps according to the color of their armbands.
The sound of rustling leaves resonated in the forest as the cold wind blew past. The youths instantly went on the alert.
From this moment on, they were no longer schoolmates but enemies!
The blue team made their move as all four of them left the gathering place. Subsequently, the white and black teams also departed, leaving only Ji Fengyan and her team of three foolish boys.
The three fools glared at Ji Fengyan, shivering in the cold wind.
“I say…” Ji Fengyan spoke up abruptly.
The three fools gave a start!
“It appears like your mounts could not enter.” Ji Fengyan pointed at the dense forest.
The forest was full of shrubbery, vines and closely spaced trees, forming an impenetrable barrier.
The mounts of Liu Kai and his companions were all huge. The smallest of them was the Shijiu, who probably couldn’t even squeeze its head into the forest.
Ji Fengyan’s prompt nudged them back to their senses. They subconsciously glanced in the other’s direction three teams. As expected, there were over a dozen majestic mounts left sitting around the forest entrance.
The tutor had let them bring their mounts over, but… there was no way those mounts could enter the thick forest foliage. Was he playing a deliberate trick on them?
Originally planning to hunt while on their mounts, the three guys deflated in an instant…
“Order them to stay here.” Ji Fengyan grinned at the wretched-looking boys.
Vexed as they were, the three of them had no choice but to leave their mounts behind. Thereafter, they reluctantly followed Ji Fengyan into the woods.
Out of the 16 new students, only Ji Fengyan managed to bring her “mount” into the forest.
Liu Kai and the others tagged along behind Ji Fengyan. Seeing that shining sword on her back, they felt a bitter taste rising in their throats.
Where did all that machismo go? Where was all that valor and pluck?
Unable to enter the arena, those splendid mounts were completely useless!
Not long after the three utterly dejected youths entered the forest, their moods continued to worsen.
They had been touted as heirs to the Terminator title from a young age. Consequently, they had received intense training on combat skills and knowledge of the World-Termination-Armour since they were children.
On the flip side, because of their heir status, they had lived pampered and sheltered lives, and never wanted for anything. As a result, they had zero practical survival skills.
This was the first time these three inexperienced young men were entering a forest. Within a short time, they were already being taught a vicious lesson by the cruel mother nature.
They had yet to travel more than a kilometer before those well-dressed and clean-scrubbed youths suffered multiple scrapes and bruises from the “assault” by the dense foliage.
A tree branch tore the clothes on their backs in several places; A passing vine scratched one youth bloody. Their neat and tidy hair had been completely mussed up.
It was an utter embarrassment.
In contrast, Ji Fengyan was totally clean and unharmed, looking as if she had just stepped out of the hostel.
Having lived in a mountain forest from a young age, Ji Fengyan was used to this environment. She navigated the most bumpy trails ahead as effortlessly as if it were a flat road.
Looking at the red team at this point, it really seemed like a goddess was leading her three foolish boys for a jaunt in the woods.
