It didn't take long for them to realize that the sneak attack plan that Teacher Harvey had come up with couldn't be carried out here.
The ground was covered in strange mucus, and their boots made a sizzling sound as they stepped on it. It felt like they had entered the stomach of a monster, and there was no way to hide. So they simply lit the torches in their hands, and the scene in front of them shocked them. The mucus they had stepped on earlier was actually layers of rotten skin. Not only were there human skin, but there were also the fur of magical beasts and other desert creatures. It was like they were in a different kind of slaughterhouse.
However, the eyes of the crowd didn't stay on the skin carpet for too long. At this moment, everyone's attention was completely attracted by the twenty or so giant white eggs that were scattered everywhere.
"What … What the hell are these?" Genji's eyes widened. The giant white eggs looked like they were still alive, and they were constantly moving. The inside of the eggs seemed to be filled with a milky white liquid that wrapped around a group of black shadows. These black shadows maintained different postures as they floated aimlessly inside the giant eggs.
A shadow happened to float in front of the thin film, revealing its true appearance. As a result, a boy from the Archer Department next to it was so scared that he fell into the mucus at his feet and screamed in horror, "Zhaweir … Zhaweir is inside!"
Chavel was also one of the contestants of the freshmen competition. He was a little boy with a face full of freckles. When he was ten years old, he was tested to have magical talent, so his parents sent him to West Ames to attend school. He also had a childhood friend called Joey, who had entered the Thief Department. He just happened to be in the team, and was also one of the two who had taken the lead. He was a very courageous youth, and his expression changed when he heard Joey's words. He pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed at the giant white egg without hesitation.
Rob wanted to stop him, but it was too late. The giant white egg looked very fragile, and it didn't have any means to protect itself. After being stabbed, the milky white liquid quickly seeped out of the hole. Joey was overjoyed when he saw this, and he made a few more holes to speed up the flow of the unknown liquid.
When most of the stuff inside had flowed out, he finally found his little friend, Charwell. The latter looked very weak, but his vital signs were stable. He lay in Joey's arms, his mouth open as if he wanted to say something.
Joey moved his ear closer, but in the next moment, Chawill started coughing violently without warning. His face was contorted in pain, and his limbs began to twitch. Joey was startled. He hurriedly poured the beginner antidote from his backpack into his companion's mouth, but Chawill coughed out more than half of it.
However, after swallowing the other half of the potion, Chavier's complexion seemed to have eased a little, and his coughing was not as violent as before. Just when everyone thought that the danger was over and they could relax, Chavier suddenly opened his eyes and let out a loud roar. Then, his skin strangely began to peel off in large patches.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor warned, "Be careful! Stay away from him! "
However, Joey couldn't bear to abandon his companion. He knew that the current situation was extremely abnormal, but he didn't listen to Rob's warning immediately. Just as he hesitated, Chawill's chest suddenly split open, and an ugly bug crawled out. It pounced at Joey with lightning speed, and the latter was completely defenseless.
The bug burrowed straight for his throat, and Joey was so scared that his face turned pale.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, the magic shield that Teacher Harvey had cast on him came into effect, blocking the ugly bug's fatal attack and buying time for the people around him to react. Everyone drew their weapons, and when the bug saw that the situation was not good, it decisively gave up on its attack plan. It wanted to scurry into the other giant white egg, but it was too late.
Not long after the fight, everyone realized that the bug didn't seem to have any other abilities apart from its terrifying appearance and its extremely quick pounce. Its movement speed was also very average, only a little faster than an ordinary person. Soon, it was surrounded by everyone and had nowhere to run. After struggling for a few seconds, it was hacked to death. It was a waste of its frightening appearance. However, after seeing this scene, Rob's expression didn't look too good. He sighed and said, "This is troublesome."
"What's so troublesome about it? This bug doesn't look too powerful," Luoluo said.
Indeed, with the agility and attack power of this bug, it was destined to be used for sneak attacks. As long as the professionals were prepared in advance, it would be almost impossible for it to succeed. So far, it seemed that the danger it could bring was very limited.
"That's because you guys destroyed its host before it was fully developed, so it could only make its last stand. If the thing you guys just dealt with were to be placed in the age of a human, it would probably be a month old baby." The future Supreme Magister Your Honor shook his head. He ignored the rotten skin at his feet and squatted down in front of the body of the bug that had almost been chopped into meat paste.
Rob examined it very carefully. He even took out a dagger from his bag and poked at the corpse. After a full fifteen minutes, he finally got up and said to the crowd, "If you don't want the tragedy to happen again, it's best that you don't touch that giant egg again."
Chavel, who was lying on the ground, had long stopped breathing. His final death was so tragic that no one dared to approach him, afraid that another bug would crawl out of the corpse. In the end, it was the quasi Magister who spoke to Ivan. "What are you waiting for? Do you want to leave your friend's corpse here?"
The scene just now had a huge impact on Ivan. After hearing the words, he was stunned for a moment before he calmed down and walked over to collect his friend's corpse. Looking at Chavel's unrecognizable corpse, Ivan felt sad again. He took off his coat, suppressed the pain in his heart, and wrapped the corpse up.
At this moment, Teacher Harvey suddenly raised his staff and said to one of the giant white eggs, "Who is it? Don't blame me for being rude if you don't come out. "
Everyone was shocked. Could it be that the monster was here too?
After a long while, a figure stumbled out from behind the giant white egg. "Don't, don't. Teacher Harvey, it's me."
The young master of the Andrea family looked incomparably disheveled. His staff had been destroyed in the previous battle. The magician's robe on him was originally a magic device that could save his life in times of crisis, but now it was riddled with holes and had long lost its function. He was barefooted, and his hair was disheveled. He did not look like a noble at all.
