There were tall mountain slopes on both sides of the canyon, with a five meter wide passageway in the middle. This kind of place was most suitable for bandits to set up traps.
Since everyone had agreed to Han Shuo's plan, they all began to take action. Han Shuo didn't know much about how to set up traps. First, the group used tough ropes to set up horse reins in the passageway. Then, Fanny and Gene used advanced necromancy magic to release acid bogs behind the horse reins.
Acid Bog was an advanced necromancy magic. It could form a large, muddy swamp on the ground. When this kind of acid bog took shape, it could corrode anyone who accidentally entered into it into a skeleton in an instant. It was one of the more sinister advanced magics of the necromancy major.
However, it took a lot of mental strength to successfully release this kind of acid bog. The range of the acid bog varied according to each necromancer's mental strength. Even with Fanny and Gene's combined efforts, they were only able to create a swamp that was about five meters wide. From the looks of it, this was already their limit.
Some enormous rocks were placed on both sides of the mountain slopes, in case the orc wolf riders arrived and smashed them with the giant rocks. These necromancy teachers and students were all quite frail compared to Han Shuo, so the task of moving the giant rocks was naturally accomplished by Han Shuo alone.
After these arrangements were made, Gene, Bella, Bach, and the others laid in ambush on one side of the mountain slope. Han Shuo, Fanny, Lisa, and the others were responsible for the other side of the mountain slope.
"You've changed quite a bit. If we can make it back to the Academy alive this time, you've done the most. I'll definitely report this to the Academy and give you a reward!" Fanny's body was behind a giant rock, her bright eyes roaming over Han Shuo's body as she spoke in a low voice.
Han Shuo was in the middle, with Lisa on his left and Fanny on his right. The three of them were very close to each other. When Fanny spoke in a low voice, her fragrant breath directly blew on Han Shuo's right cheek. The faint fragrance caused Han Shuo's heart to race. He suddenly felt that this crisis seemed to be filled with lust.
Scratching his head out of habit, Han Shuo gave a silly smile and turned his head to stare boldly at Fanny's beautiful face. At this moment, Fanny's hair was a mess. Because she had used up a lot of mental energy to cast the Acid Bog, her face was a little pale, and she looked a little weak. It was completely different from her usual glamorous and domineering appearance, giving Han Shuo a different kind of beauty.
"Damn it, I'm talking to you. Don't stare at me like that!" When Fanny saw that Han Shuo was looking at her with a burning gaze but didn't pay any attention to her, she couldn't help but feel angry. This guy was getting bolder and bolder, daring to look at her so rudely.
"Heh heh, Master Fanny, you're pretty. You won't lose anything by looking at me a few more times, why be so petty?" Laughing lightly, Han Shuo said flirtatiously.
A wave of pain suddenly radiated from Han Shuo's left arm. Han Shuo's face turned pained as he turned his head to look at Lisa on his left. When he saw that Lisa was glaring at him with a face full of hate, he hastily squeezed out a smile and said, "Of course, Lisa, you're also very beautiful, heh heh."
Raising her head and snorting lightly, Lisa glared at Han Shuo and said huffily, "Don't think that I can't take care of you just because you're strong now. Humph, now that I have some free time, hurry up and tell me how you got mental strength. You've even mastered bone arrow magic. Just how many more secrets do you have that you haven't told me? "
"Uh, I don't have any secrets. It's all thanks to you that I can master the Bone Arrow Magic. If you didn't use the Agony of the Soul to make me half-dead, I would still be as useless as before. Thank you so much!"
Her face darkening, Lisa suddenly hung her head and sighed lightly. She said lowly, "You still haven't forgiven me. I know you've always hated me for using the Agony of the Soul on you, but I didn't mean it back then. I didn't know that I almost killed you in the end!"
"No, I really don't blame you. Lisa, don't think too much. It's not like you don't know my feelings for you, why would I blame you? "Han Shuo started and suddenly remembered the role he was playing. He hurriedly spoke up to comfort Lisa.
At this moment, Han Shuo felt pain in his right arm as well. He turned his head to find that Fanny's slender fingers were also pinching him hard. He couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in his heart. He inwardly sighed that the blessings of having multiple lovers were indeed not easy to enjoy. He said with a wry face, "Master Fanny, what's wrong now?"
Fanny also started slightly when Han Shuo said this. What's wrong with me? What does their conversation have to do with me? Why would I want to pinch him as well? Shaking her head slightly, Fanny also snorted and then wore a faint smile on her face. She raised her voice a bit, "Lisa, what did he say about his feelings for you just now? What's that about?"
A frantic expression suddenly appeared on Lisa's face as she hastily waved her hands to cover up, "Nothing, nothing. Master Fanny, you must've heard wrong. Haha, isn't that right Brian? " She didn't forget to throw a threatening look at Han Shuo after speaking. Her meaning was that if Han Shuo dared speak, she wouldn't let him off the hook.
Nodding with a wry face, Han Shuo laughed and said, "Yes, Master Fanny must've expended too much mental strength and something went wrong with your hearing?"
"Is that so?" Fanny looked suspiciously at Han Shuo and asked in a strange tone.
"Of course, of course. Oh right, Master Fanny, when I return to the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, I want to release my slave status. I've earned enough gold coins in the Dark Forest this time. I don't want to carry this slave status forever!"
"Don't worry, if we really make it back to the Academy this time, I'll negotiate with the school authorities. Not only will I release you from your slave status, I'll even release you from your errand slave status as well. You'll become a student of the necromancy major in the future and I'll personally teach you even more advanced necromancy magic. With your potential, I think your future accomplishments will surely surpass all the current necromancy students! "
Fanny looked at Han Shuo with gratification and gave Han Shuo a firm promise. She thought to herself, when he becomes a student of the necromancy major, if his magic improves quickly, he'll truly be able to break free from his current shackles. At that time, maybe … Eh, what am I thinking? It looks like I must've expended too much mental strength. Otherwise, why would I be thinking so wildly?
At this moment, Han Shuo, who'd had a joyous expression on his face, suddenly furrowed his brow. He closed his eyes and thought deeply for a moment, then suddenly called out loudly to the other side, "Master Gene, be careful. I can already hear the muffled sound of footsteps. I think the orc wolf riders should be arriving soon."
"Got it, you guys be careful too. Brian, Master Fanny has expended a lot of mental strength with me just now. You have to protect Master Fanny! "
"Don't worry, since Master Fanny is here with me, unless I die first, Master Fanny won't be harmed in the slightest!"
Han Shuo suddenly felt another pain in his left arm after he'd finished speaking. He immediately knew that Lisa must've acted out of anger and hastily turned his head to explain to Lisa on his left. However, he didn't notice that Fanny, who was on his right, was looking at him with a slightly more complicated gaze.
Finally, the muffled sounds of footsteps gradually traveled from afar. Even the ordinary necromancy students and teachers could hear the oppressive sounds and couldn't help but gather their attention, fully concentrating on dealing with the sudden attack from behind.
"Damn it, why is it Beacher and the others from the light major!"
Just as everyone was holding their breaths and preparing to push the boulder down, the sharp-eyed Han Shuo suddenly realized that the approaching people weren't the orc wolf riders, but rather Beacher, Irene, and the others from the light major of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force who were fleeing in panic. There were also a few unfamiliar mages and warriors among them. They were all riding warhorses that were neighing wildly and looked like they were about to collapse, their faces filled with exhaustion.
Fanny's brow furrowed as she suddenly poked her head out from behind the boulder. Her slender neck stretched out as she called out in a loud voice, "Master Beacher, stop right now. There's a trap that we've specially set up to deal with the wolf riders."
Beacher and the others, who were about to rush towards the horse ropes, hurriedly stopped at the most critical moment when they heard Fanny's words. Beacher then lifted his head to look at the necromancy students and teachers on both sides of the mountain slope and immediately understood the current situation. He immediately yelled out, "The orc wolf riders are right behind us, what should we do?"
"After abandoning the horses, drive the warhorses to the back and then quickly walk over on foot. We will tell you where the traps are. Otherwise, if you stay where you are, only death awaits you!" Han Shuo poked his head out and calmly yelled out.
Beacher and the others only hesitated slightly when they heard Han Shuo's words, and then followed Han Shuo's instructions. They dismounted and used their daggers to stab the horses' buttocks, driving the warhorses back after being stung. Afterwards, under Fanny's reminder, the group hurriedly crossed over the tripping ropes and acid swamps, quickly climbing up the mountain slope on both sides.
Another wave of muffled footsteps traveled into everyone's ears. At this moment, everyone knew that the pursuing orc wolf riders had truly arrived.
"Hide yourselves and prepare for battle!" Han Shuo yelled out, and everyone carefully hid themselves. They planned on giving these orc wolf riders, who were used to killing and looting, a bloody lesson.
