Chapter 133 Ice and Snow Storm
In the chaos, a guardian finally climbed onto the ogre's shoulder from behind, thrust his sword into its only remaining eye, and then, under the cover of his teammates' spells, jumped down and retreated quickly. The ogre was completely invisible, waving his hands in the air in vain. A senior student chanted a spell softly, summoning a thunderbolt, which hit the direction of the white team that was outside the chaos, making a loud noise. The ogre heard the sound, howled, and groped towards the direction of the white team.
On the other side of the pond, after the ogre had finally walked away, each team was able to free up their hands to rescue their teammates. The first student who was caught by the tentacles was unfortunately caught again, and his partner Matthew was losing blood and suffering from hypothermia. His face gradually turned pale and he was already exhausted, but he still held on to his partner tightly with his bloody hands. He refused to let go even if they were thrown into the sky together. He slashed at the tentacles with his sword, trying to save his teammates.
"Friendly reminder, kids—" the commentary desk said again, "Other teams will not receive any points for players who are eliminated by a third party."
Upon hearing this, the other people by the pond accelerated their chanting. Various ice magics hit the tentacles and the lake surface. The water surface of the pond began to freeze into ice, and the tentacles of the watcher in the water began to move slowly.
"Matthew, go down first and don't worry about me!" The student who was caught suddenly looked determined and said to his partner.
However, Matthew rolled his eyes and said, "Don't play your tragic hero drama here, Melville. I just don't want the team to lose people. Give other teams a chance."
"Who's acting!" Melville was almost suffocated by the tentacles, but he still had to argue with his partner stubbornly, "Look in the water!"
Matthew lowered his head and saw that the head of the underwater watcher was close to the water surface. Its huge eyes stared emotionlessly at the lambs to be slaughtered in the sky. On its head, at the short whisker closest to its mouthparts, a golden box was tied and was swaying with the waves.
Matthew immediately understood what his partner meant, but still refused to let go, "The scare box is full of traps, don't be stupid, idiot!"
"The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Do you understand?!" Melville was so angry that he wanted to shout, but was afraid of being heard by the other teams. "Besides, I really did a divination today! That must be my surprise."
Matthew gritted his teeth and decided to give his partner one last chance to trust him. When the tentacles on Melville tightened again and pulled him into the water, he glanced at his partner and finally let go of his bloody hands, watching Melville being dragged into the water by the tentacles.
The temperature continued to drop, and frost had formed on the eyelashes of a magician, but she clenched her teeth and tried hard not to let her teeth chatter, otherwise if she made a mistake, all the time she had spent chanting the spell would be in vain. The silver-white magic circle was shining brightly under her feet, and suddenly, a strong wind blew up. She raised her hands to the sky as if relieved, and countless snowflakes and ice crystals suddenly appeared, dancing violently in the strong wind, forming a violent ice and snow storm.
A huge vortex was spinning in the sky. Wherever it passed, the ground was covered with ice and snow. The trees were creaking from the cold. Everyone was affected by this high-level spell and shivered with cold. Even the spectators outside the venue were not spared.
"It's a good thing you brought a blanket..." Jaina shivered as she pulled the blanket directly to her neck, looking at the classmates next to her and said to Lilith thankfully.
The blizzard roared towards the pond, and the tentacles covered with mucus were finally frozen in such a low temperature. Although the captured students were not much better off, it gave other guardians a chance to rescue them. The tentacles became fragile after being frozen and could be cut off with a few knives, and everyone was rescued.
As everyone was fleeing in panic, a firework broke through the ice and rushed into the sky. A brilliant number "10" appeared in the sky. Matthew, who had been standing by the pond with a sullen face, finally moved. He looked up at the sky with an unclear expression.
"Ah, I did it!" A lot of flesh was sucked off Melville's body by the suction cups of the tentacles. As the fireworks bloomed, he appeared in the preparation area in an embarrassed manner. He was eliminated, but he waved his arms towards the field with excitement, "See, Matthew, I knew it was a surprise, I predicted it! Hahahaha——"
"What an idiot!" Matthew looked at the guy waving his arms from afar and finally smiled with disgust. He cut off the lining fabric and wrapped it neatly around his hands, then turned around to look for other teammates.
The chaos caused by the underwater watcher finally ended temporarily. The three teams entered a short break, with their respective magician teammates providing simple treatment for their wounded. The atmosphere on the field suddenly became harmonious.
"Ha, how boring! I thought we'd see a river of blood, but they actually cooperated. What a loser!" Hurst didn't see the fun he wanted to see at the commentary desk, so he slammed the table in anger. "Let's take a look at the other side. Oh, it looks like the White Team is in trouble. Haha, here comes the Cave Troll!"
However, this team was very smart. After they found that the ogre had lost his vision, they stopped communicating. They didn't want to fight with this big guy because they had a clear goal - a golden scare box gleaming on a stone platform not far away. A thin boy stepped forward cautiously. The dwarves didn't know how many traps they had buried in this place. They had suffered several losses on the way to dismantling the box, and now they were a little nervous.
The moment the boy finally touched the box, he breathed a sigh of relief. There was no trap here. Looking at the smiling face on the scare box, he couldn't help but smile too. He raised his hand and opened the box. Everyone subconsciously looked up, waiting for the fireworks to shoot into the sky, but there was nothing. When they looked down again, they found that the boy who opened the box had been wrapped in black mist.
Catherine leaned forward slightly in the viewing stand, unconsciously clenched her hands, and looked serious.
"Squeaky, creaky..." A strange sound appeared in the fog, like someone pushing an old wooden door, or the cry of some arthropod. The sound seemed to be by the ear, and also like in the distant abyss, with a hollow echo.
The boy in the black fog got goose bumps immediately after hearing the noise. This black fog was something they had never encountered before when they opened the box. He instinctively sensed a dangerous aura and stepped back, trying to get out of the strange black fog.
"Da-da-da" However, it seemed that he was not the only one in the black fog. As soon as he exited the black fog that blocked his vision, he heard another heavy footsteps, slowly moving along the path he was walking. The thing was hidden in the fog but yet very close. Its breath exhaled, blowing the boy's bangs tremble.
His teammates were unaware of what was happening over there and were just raising their hands to signal him to keep moving forward to look for the next box. The next second, a gigantic animal-like paw broke through the fog and appeared in front of them, almost face to face with the boy who was retreating with bated breath.
"Squeaky, creaky..." The strange insect-shaped mouthparts trembled rapidly, making sharp vibrations, which was creepy.
"That, what is that?!" Instructor Hurst obviously did not expect to see this thing and stood up in surprise. Not only him, but all the teachers in the teaching seats also stood up with serious expressions.
Its face is like a beast, but it has an insect-like mouthpart, the upper body is the upper limbs of a beast, the lower body is a fish tail, and the body is covered with scales...
That is... a void beast? !
