During the past few nights, Han Shuo had been moving alone, using his keen senses to hunt down the magical creatures in the vicinity. One man and one skeleton, with their tacit cooperation, had become successful in hunting. So far, they had harvested a total of four Level Five Magical Beast Crystal Cores, along with some valuable furs and horns.
Not only did Han Shuo try to deploy magical yuan in the process of hunting the magical creatures, but he also repeatedly practiced the bone spur magic that he'd mastered. Every time, he was able to combine long-range and close-range attacks with wondrous results.
Han Shuo had never encountered the panic and nervousness that the students displayed when facing a magical creature for the first time. He was just as calm from beginning to end, even numb and callous.
Even Han Shuo himself didn't know why he didn't have these negative emotions in the process. He could even vaguely feel that there was excitement and anticipation in the depths of his heart during the process of hunting the magical creatures, as if he was enjoying the process immensely.
"I'm not a good person after all!" Han Shuo thought self-deprecatingly as he accepted the magical creature cores and the Windblade Wolf fur from the Little Skull's hands. He patted the Little Skull's glossy black skull and smiled, "Let's go, we can go back now."
The Little Skull grasped the bone dagger in his hand, his empty eyes devoid of any emotion as he followed behind Han Shuo, quickly returning the way they'd come.
Han Shuo chanted an incantation midway and sent the Little Skull back to the other dimension. Seeing that they were about to return to the tent, Han Shuo couldn't help but slow down his footsteps, moving unhurriedly through the shadows of the trees.
It was now the latter half of the night, and the sentries outside the tent had been replaced by Fanny, Lisa, and Amy. Lisa and Amy's eyes were half-closed and they looked drowsy. It was obvious that they were taking advantage of the opportunity to slack off and didn't shoulder their responsibilities at all.
Fortunately, Fanny understood the importance of being a sentry. Her pair of bright eyes constantly patrolled the surroundings. When Han Shuo's light footsteps approached, Fanny immediately cast her vigilant gaze in the direction that Han Shuo had come from.
With her magic staff in hand, Fanny furrowed her brow, her delicate face full of vigilance. She gradually approached the direction Han Shuo had come from and softly called out, "Who is it?"
"Teacher Fanny, it's me!" Han Shuo said softly to Fanny as he slowly walked out from the shade of the tree.
"I knew it would be you. I went to look for you just now and found that there was no one in your tent. Where did you run off to in the middle of the night?" Fanny's eyes focused on Han Shuo as she asked, full of confusion.
"It's nothing, I'm just looking for a secluded place to train my magic. After I asked you about the bone arrow magic last time, I took advantage of the night to find a secluded place to train. I think that only repeated training can guarantee that I won't make any mistakes." Han Shuo scratched his head and explained in a soft and honest voice.
"Brian, it's good that you're so hardworking. I'll explain this matter to the school authorities after you've grasped a bit of magic. This way, you can immediately be relieved of your errand boy status and perhaps even enjoy the same treatment as the students." Fanny looked at Han Shuo and thought for a moment.
"Oh, I was sold to the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force. Could it be that I can be relieved of my status as an errand boy and slave just because I know magic?" Han Shuo was startled and asked.
Nodding, Fanny said with certainty, "There has never been a mage who has been an errand boy or slave. Mages are a class above all others in the entire Profound Continent. Even though our necromancy major has declined, if you can prove that you know how to use necromancy magic, your status will immediately change. You won't be reduced to an errand boy who cleans and cleans anymore."
"Is that so, that's wonderful. I still have many questions that I hope Teacher Fanny can answer for me. I will work hard to improve myself as soon as possible and become a qualified mage. " Han Shuo's heart raced as he suddenly remembered that there were still many questions he wasn't clear about in some of the magic books he'd read before. He couldn't help but want to take advantage of this opportunity to clarify things.
"No problem. In the future, if you have any questions about necromancy magic, you can ask me. I will help you. Eh … although you're a bit perverted right now, I'm sure that you're a genius with a magical body. I will definitely help you escape from your current status. "Fanny smiled faintly and said in a sweet voice.
Han Shuo smiled foolishly, as if he hadn't heard Fanny's words about him being lecherous. After thinking for a moment, he started asking Fanny for some magic knowledge.
After a while, Fanny cried out in surprise and looked at Han Shuo in astonishment. She said with emotion, "Oh my gosh, Brian, you already know so much about magic. Where did you learn all of this? Your questions are on par with the average mage apprentice's. This is incredible! "
"I've read all of this magic knowledge from the magic books inside when I was helping Jack clean the library. I've been trying to find out why ever since I discovered that I could cast the bone arrow magic." Han Shuo lied with a straight face and an apologetic expression as he spoke to Fanny.
"Brian, I wasn't wrong after all. You really are a genius in magic!" Fanny cried out in surprise again when she heard Han Shuo's explanation.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly rang out in Han Shuo's ears. Han Shuo's face grew serious as he hastily said, "There's a sound approaching, but it doesn't sound like a magical creature this time. It sounds more like a human."
Fanny's expression changed slightly when she heard Han Shuo's words. She reached out and grabbed Han Shuo's arm in a panic, walking quickly in the direction of the tent. She said as she walked, "There are all kinds of races in the Dark Forest. These races aren't all that friendly. Even some humans like us will sometimes want to kill for a high level magical creature core. We should be on our guard."
Fanny's slender hand grasped Han Shuo's wrist amidst the chaos. Fanny didn't have any other thoughts, but Han Shuo harbored ill intentions. When her hand grabbed his wrist, the smooth feeling of her five fingers on his wrist caused Han Shuo to become a bit infatuated. He suddenly recalled the ecstasy he'd felt on the warhorse a few days ago.
"Everyone get up. Lisa and Amy, you two, wake everyone up and prepare for battle! Danger may be approaching!" Lisa and Amy, who had been squinting their eyes, were both startled awake when Fanny's words sounded. The two also sensed the impending danger from Fanny's panicked voice, and they both started shouting and running to the tents to warn the others.
For a time, Lisa and Amy's screams came from several tents. The sleeping students all rushed out of their tents with their clothes in a mess, their eyes half-open and their clothes disheveled as they hastily prepared for battle.
At this moment, Fanny unintentionally glanced at Han Shuo and discovered that Han Shuo was smiling merrily at her jade hand on Han Shuo's wrist. His expression seemed to be one of enjoyment. Angry, Fanny grabbed Han Shuo's jade hand and pinched it fiercely before letting go. She said angrily to Han Shuo in a low voice, "Damned Brian, I've discovered that you're almost as lustful as Fitch."
Han Shuo yelped in pain and wore an awkward and silly smile on his face, but he was speechless inside. He wondered what Fanny would think if she knew that he was the one who'd touched her butt last time.
In the midst of the students' panic, a few heavy footsteps gradually approached from afar, falling into everyone's ears. Han Shuo also started to calm down after being pinched by Fanny. The lustful light in his eyes disappeared without a trace, replaced by a deep, distant coldness. He looked at everything around him with the cold eyes of a bystander.
Heavy footsteps, accompanied by strange wheezing noises, approached the group. Gene's brow furrowed and he said in confusion, "Such heavy footsteps, it shouldn't be humans. But magical creatures with two feet are rare as well. What could it be?"
Fanny furrowed her brow in deep thought and then her eyes lit up. She suddenly called out, "Everyone hurry up and summon the skeletal warriors to hold the front. We've probably run into the ogres in the Dark Forest."
Everyone started when the words "ogres" came out of Fanny's mouth. Some of the female students shuddered as expressions of fear appeared on their faces. Gene was also startled and hastily summoned everyone to quickly form a ring of defense. He also took out a brown magic staff that looked like the root of a tree and had a cautious expression on his face.
Lines of magical incantations flowed continuously from the mouths of the students and teachers. Skeletal warriors, ghouls, and zombie warriors appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, as well as the two enormous hate warriors that Fanny and Gene had summoned.
Hate warriors were already a relatively high level existence amongst the dark creatures. These hate warriors were enormous in size and wielded metal clubs. The fat on their bodies gave them even more strength and sturdier defenses. They were the most commonly used meat shields by necromancers.
As expected, with heavy footsteps, eight Ogres that were 2.5 meters tall and had lead-colored skin appeared before everyone's eyes. They were wielding maces and spears.
Ogres were social animals, and a dozen or so ogres could be considered a tribe. These ogres were lazy by nature and liked to plunder. They were all natural bandits. They knew how to use clubs and long spears. Add to that their bodies were strong and sturdy, and their close combat abilities were quite powerful.
However, what frightened everyone the most wasn't the ogres' strength, but their habits. As the name suggested, ogres were called ogres because they ate humans. When they encountered humans in the midst of plundering, not only would they take everything, but they would also capture humans and eat them as food.
Han Shuo and the others formed a ring of defense around them. The skeletal warriors, ghouls, and zombie hate warriors formed a defensive perimeter around them. There were necromancers with long range attacks within the perimeter. All of them looked gravely at the panting ogres approaching.
"Prepare for battle!" Fanny called out loudly as she raised the magic staff in her hand.
