Chapter 155 Fantasy Beast Garden (3)
Chapter 155 Fantasy Beast Garden (3)
Ten minutes later, the noise gradually died down. The female teacher looked at the students who had already stood in order in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.
Although there was some confusion at the beginning, the adjustment speed was pretty good later.
She walked up to the temporary team leaders chosen by each group one by one, patted their shoulders one by one, and the magic flash appeared for a moment and then quickly disappeared.
After finishing all this, she gave the order, "Let's go. Regardless of whether you have contracted a suitable mythical beast or not, you must come out before 4 pm. I will keep track of your location."
Time was limited, so there was no need to hesitate any longer. Everyone looked at each other, turned around and quickly dived into the forest.
-
The Fantasy Beast Garden is not a natural forest, but the deliberately simulated environment is not much different. Once you enter, the air becomes more comfortable, and the refreshing feeling with the aroma of moist soil constantly stimulates everyone's sense of smell.
The rustling of branches and leaves in the wind drowned out the sound of shoes grinding against dirt and rocks. Jiang Liujing gestured, but said nothing. The four of them stopped behind him in unison, their breathing suppressed to the minimum.
Through the dense bushes before them, they could see a handsome young white pony standing by a small pond. Its hooves were streaked with pale blue water, and its long tail swept behind it.
"She is so beautiful." The two girls in the group exclaimed in unison.
Most mythical beasts have strange appearances, but the one in front of us can be said to have a very superior appearance.
"The Water Spirit Colt, a water-type mythical beast, can reach level six when it reaches adulthood. This one looks young, with three circles of water patterns on its hooves, so it should be level three. The Water Spirit Colt doesn't have strong attack power, but it's very fast, comparable to the Wind-type mythical beasts. It's not easy for us to catch it." Qiao recalled what the teacher had said in class and frowned as he made his judgment.
When Jiang Liujing heard him use the word "catch", he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Luo Wen, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly retorted, "Relying on capturing a contracted phantom beast is the wrong approach. If the phantom beast develops a strong aversion to the other party, the contract process could easily backfire. This approach should only be used when the power gap between the two parties is sufficiently large."
Qiao hissed. He didn't expect that he, who was ranked in the top five in the class, would be taught a lesson by the last one.
He didn't want to argue in front of Jiang Liujing, so he glanced at Luo Wen and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Then what do you say we should do? We can't just stand here and wait for her to come over and sign a contract with us."
Luo Wen didn't answer. He turned his head and tugged at Jiang Liujing's sleeve, then asked him softly, "Mr. Jiang, do you want this mythical beast?"
Jiang Liujing turned around and saw a pair of sparkling eyes looking at him. It seemed that as long as he said "yes", Luo Wen would immediately hand over this water spirit horse to him.
This seems to be inconsistent with his image of being the last one in the class.
He paused, and finally shook his head under Luo Wen's expectant gaze, explaining, "I already have a mythical beast."
Luo Wen's expression suddenly became lost, as if his proud fur was suddenly wet by the wind and rain.
Jiang Liujing said helplessly: "You guys haven't contracted your first fantasy beast yet, right? Just find it for yourselves, don't worry about me."
Luo Wen murmured, "Oh!" He looked forward and saw the water pony still drinking water with its head down, looking relaxed, as if it didn't realize there were any humans nearby.
But Luo Wen keenly noticed that her ears were trembling slightly, and she was catching the sounds in the air.
With the phantom beast's hearing, it should have heard their movements, but why didn't she run away?
Doubt flashed through Luo Wen's mind. He lowered his voice and quickly explained his plan: "I read in a book that the water spirit horse is very interested in shiny things. We can use gems to attract its attention."
After hearing what Luo Wen said, the two girls' eyes suddenly lit up, and they hurriedly rummaged through their space props. After a while, they took out a bunch of gems emitting soft light.
These gems don't have any magical powers, but because of their beautiful appearance they are often made into various ornaments. I didn't expect that they could be used for other purposes today.
Rowan took the gems, took a deep breath, and wrapped them in his magic before throwing them a little further out. A blue arc suddenly formed in the air, and at its zenith, the magic surrounding the gems dissipated.
With a loud crash, dozens of beautiful crystal clear gems fell like a light rain, reflecting an enchanting light in the sunlight, and rolled all over the ground.
Sure enough, the water spirit horse was attracted by the movement. It raised its head and walked towards the gem.
"Success!"
"Don't worry, everyone, get ready. We will surround her from all sides so that she won't have time to run away..." Before Luo Wen finished his plan, he heard the girls suddenly gasp in surprise.
He looked up in surprise, only to see the Water Spirit Horse actually crossing the ground full of gems without stopping, sweeping its tail as it walked straight towards them!
She actually knew they were here!
But why didn't he run away after knowing it? This is not in line with the nature of the water spirit horse.
Questions popped up in Luo Wen's mind one after another, catching him off guard.
Was she going to attack them? But she approached with such grace and calm that she seemed non-hostile.
As the distance gradually shortened, he opened his mouth and uttered a hoarse voice from his throat: "Let's disperse first..."
Before he could finish his words, the Shui Lingju suddenly lowered its body a little and rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed.
Rowan's eyes widened, and he instinctively gathered magic power in his hands. No matter how much they talked about a peace treaty, humanity's fear and vigilance against mythical beasts wouldn't diminish. And he wasn't the only one to make similar moves.
"Don't rush to attack." Suddenly, a child's calm voice passed by his ears.
Several people paused.
Between their instinctive vigilance against the phantom beast and their trust in Jiang Liujing, they chose the latter.
They paused casting spells and looked at the water spirit horse rushing towards them, their nervousness still unabated.
Fifty meters...twenty meters...three meters!
Just a few steps away from them, the Shuilingju braked and stopped.
She lowered her head slightly and looked down at these humans with her beautiful big eyes.
This water spirit horse is only at the third level and should not have any intelligence, but everyone seems to see human curiosity in her eyes.
She walked slowly, passing each human in turn, and finally stopped in front of Jiang Liujing.
"咴咴——"
She suddenly lowered her head affectionately and rubbed Jiang Liujing's hand with her nose, her tail swishing behind her.
Everyone looked at the tail that was shaking rapidly and leaving afterimages: "..."
A girl was silent for a long time and said, "This is really a horse, not a dog, right?"
Why are you so angry?
