Wizard: I want to be a top student

As soon as the captain of the guard said this, the hearts of the others fell to the bottom of the valley.

For adventurers, it is common sense not to spend the night in the wilderness and dense forests, not to mention that in the notorious Black Mist Forest, this situation is simply too bad.

Biman opened his mouth and cursed: "Mr. Marshall, you may have brain poisoning. My brother is a pharmacist. How about asking him to take a look for you?"

"I----I don't want to do that either."

Marshall had a hard time saying it, and his heart was blocked.

"Ivan is a pharmacist. He really needs to take a look for you, captain."

"It's best to pry it open with a sword to see if it's a real eyeball."

"Use a shield to smash it, and smash all the excess flesh on your face, so that the eyes can be exposed."

Mercenaries are mostly a group of people who speak without restraint. Thinking that they were trapped by outsiders and fell into a dangerous situation, they said whatever they thought in their hearts. The sarcastic words continued, making Marshall's face red and even uglier.

Ivan touched his nose, always feeling that he was also offended.

"Okay." Lede stopped the mercenaries and they calmed down. "Now is not the time to relax. Keep going. Even if we can't get out of the Black Mist Forest, we have to get as close to the edge as possible."

This is true. The closer we get to the depths of the Black Mist Forest, the greater the dangers it contains, and vice versa.

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Lede is right!"

Marshall seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. After a little identification, he continued to lead the way.

In a few seconds, he turned back with three subordinates, because the others did not follow him at all, including the captain Lede.

Lede asked: "What do you think?"

He looked at the mercenaries, and finally his eyes fell on the deputy captain Gro.

Gro looked around and carefully identified, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Captain, go this way." The direction he pointed was about 30 degrees away from the direction Marshall took.

In the crowd, Ivan was also trying his best to identify the direction, but unfortunately he had no knowledge of this aspect and did not understand the Black Mist Forest, so he wisely did not speak.

"Let's go."

After a pause of two or three seconds, Led signaled to continue on the road, which was exactly the direction chosen by Gro.

This time Led walked in front, and the others followed closely behind. Marshall and others could only keep up.

After a while, the light above the forest began to converge, and with the increasingly thick fog, everyone's vision was seriously obstructed. They were still within the Black Mist Forest, and it was unknown how far they had penetrated.

"Find a place to camp."

With Led's announcement, everyone had to accept the fact that they had to spend the night in the Black Mist Forest.

The Giant Shield Mercenary Group had traveled all over the country and had experience in camping in shallow forests. They directly found a relatively open and flat location, cut wood on the spot, cleared the obstacles around, and prepared wood at the same time.

Split the wood, pile, set up double rows of piles, put logs in the middle of the piles, and soon a thing similar to an animal pen was formed.

Some mercenaries continued to reinforce the fence with piles, some added oblique pointed poles, making the surrounding area a row of simple barricades, and hung many bells for warning on the outer periphery. Some people made torches with their clothes for use.

There was a pile of wood blocks and branches of different sizes in the middle of the fence, which could be used as a bonfire.

When everything was completed, it was completely dark.

Everyone huddled in the fence and finally had a simple shelter.

The bonfire was not lit.

Someone asked, "Do you want to light a fire?"

This is a question worth thinking about. If it is a general shallow forest or wilderness, lighting a bonfire will undoubtedly drive away wild beasts, but in the misty forest, no one knows whether it will attract any monsters.

"I have a fluorescent stone, which was given by the Baron before, and it can bring some light."

Mentioning this question, Marshall found a sense of existence, and he took out a stone emitting green light.

He stretched out his hand and showed the fluorescent stone to everyone.

A hand stretched out from the darkness and appeared in the green light. The light disappeared in an instant, and the surroundings returned to darkness again.

"Where is the fluorite?"

The fluorite was taken away, and Marshall waited for a while but no one came back. The key point was that he didn't know who it was, and he was dumbfounded.

"Quiet."

"Le---"

"Be careful and alert, and wait until tomorrow morning to talk about the rest."

It was pitch black all around, and even the people on the opposite side could only see a vague outline, and couldn't tell who was who.

Without Lede's support, Marshall could only close his mouth helplessly and sighed secretly. In recent days, everything has been going wrong, even Miss Lisa, who was in love with him, has changed her mind.

There was a subtle chewing sound in the wooden fence, and everyone ate the dry food they brought.

Ivan was no exception. He imitated Biman and stood the shield on the side with the wooden fence. He sat sideways beside the shield and ate the dried venison strips in his hand.

He was thinking, since they had built a wooden fence, why not just build a wooden house, just like the wilderness survival he had seen before, it would not be difficult to accomplish with the power of the crowd.

No, this world has tree monsters, flower spirits and other things, and you might be caught in a trap and have nowhere to escape. He felt a little funny about his own thoughts, the world is different, how can experience be used.

‘Oh, it’s really unlucky, I encountered such a thing on my first mission. ’

He sighed silently in his heart, hoping that this night would be spent safely.

At this time, a hand behind him touched him lightly, and then stuffed something into his pocket. Ivan casually took a look and found a stone, only the size of a thumb. He thought of something.

He carefully opened a gap and looked into the pocket. It was indeed the captain's fluorescent stone.

Ivan smiled silently, and his heart was inexplicably calmed down. The person sitting behind him was his father.

The night was not peaceful. The sounds in the jungle came one after another, like the crying of babies, the unwilling sighs of old people, and the chanting with strange accents, which made people dare not relax any vigilance.

"Dingling~."

About four or five hours later, a crisp bell sound broke the original atmosphere.

Everyone understood that something had broken into the vicinity, and it should be a small beast.

Perhaps it was frightened by the sound, and there was no movement for a while. I thought the thing had left until the bell sounded on the other side. Everyone couldn't help but be alert, and many people held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.

There was a clear sound of falling outside the wooden fence, and then the beast rushed into the wooden fence.

Ivan noticed that his father had moved, and a few swords rang out. The prepared people dealt with the beast that broke in, and then threw the beast's body back into the jungle.

"A blind mountain cat."

Led returned to his position. Ivan heard his voice, and it seemed that he didn't spend much effort.

A few hours passed, and it was the second half of the night.

During this period, there were occasional beasts that broke in. Some were scared away by the sound of bells, and some did not know how to live or die and broke into the wooden fence and were killed by the mercenaries.

Ivan didn't take action. There was no tacit understanding between him and the mercenaries, and it was easy to hurt others.

He thought it would continue like this until dawn.

Suddenly, everything around him became quiet, and those strange sounds could no longer be heard.
