Chapter 77: Initial Awakening - Dugu Forest

  Inside the college, on the martial arts arena, all of this year's new students were gathered together, quietly waiting for the arrival of the college supervisor Ruan Yuanshan.

  At noon, Ruan Yuanshan descended from the sky, holding high the Fire Cloud Scepter that symbolized irresistible power, making people tremble with fear. It was a terrifying thing.

  Ruan Yuanshan looked at the crowd below, clearing his throat and said: You all have been in the academy for almost half a year now, what have you learned? How much have you learned? Only you yourselves are clear about that. However, to test the effectiveness of this semester's learning, our academy has organized a trip for the new batch of students to go on a wilderness adventure in Dugu Forest. There, you can have your companions, but we instructors will no longer pay attention to these matters. Because the path ahead is one that you yourselves must blaze, not one that we pave for you. Moreover, we do not have the ability to do so.

  So, there, everything that happens in the academy is not our responsibility. Even if you are attacked and killed by a monster or a demon in the forest, we will not be responsible. There, you must understand the power of unity. The power of one person is always limited. Do you know that? Answer me loudly.

  Everyone's loud and hoarse shouting...

  Well, now if there's something you want to promote, I won't force it, is that okay?

  Everyone looks at me, I look at you, but no one makes a move.

  Ruan Yuanshan said: "Alright, your generation is indeed not bad. I've seen hope in you. I'll send you to the outskirts of Dugu Forest. There are mostly low-level magical beasts there. If nothing unexpected happens, those high-level magical beasts won't go to the forest's outskirts because they're controlled by the racial contract."

  Come on, let's go, Long'er, come here.

  Two thunderous dragon roars shattered the heavens and earth's din, covering everything, almost piercing people's eardrums.

  Two giant dragons hundreds of feet long flew in from afar, circled above them a few times before swooping down, scaring the crowd into hastily retreating.

  Ruan Yuanshan said: Long Er, don't be naughty, take them to the forest for training.

  "A loud, coarse voice came from the dragon's body, scaring everyone so much that they trembled all over. Dragons that can speak, except for the divine dragon, are born with the ability to speak human language. Those lower-level dragon clans that want to speak human language must at least be eighth rank."

  "The dragon's voice sounded again 'Children, come, onto my back.'"

  Many people tremble at the sight of it, let alone sit on its back. However, Ziwie directly flipped over and jumped up, standing on the dragon's head, looking handsome and elegant. It made those little girls dizzy with admiration.

  That dragon was about to get angry, but the dragon's head was like an ordinary person who could stand up and speak in a low voice: I have seen Young Master Ziwei, it is my honor to carry someone like you on this five-clawed golden divine dragon.

  Zi Wei burst out laughing and said: "No need to be polite, you've also worked hard. A giant dragon's physique can already cultivate the Dao and speak human language, which means you've put in a lot of effort."

  Long smiled lightly and said: Thank you, young master, for your praise.

  Then he changed his tone and said: Look, someone has already come up behind me. Come on, kids, don't be afraid.

  A few people from the Ziwei dormitory, as well as several of Ziwei's online friends, saw that Ziwei was fine after going up and also stood on the dragon's back in the second batch. Others saw them all go up and one by one climbed onto the dragon's back. Before long, both dragons' backs were almost full of people. Fortunately, everyone had already gone up.

  Ruan Yuanshan shouted loudly: Let's set off!

  Two dragons let out a soft whistle, and flew directly towards the sky. The dragon's speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the outskirts of the Dugu Forest. As they passed through the center of the forest, powerful thoughts were emitted, causing these newly-entered cultivators to feel extreme fear.

  Arrived at the edge of the forest, this place is located on a mountain waist, and under the mountain is the garrison of human troops, also the garrison of Dugu City. They are to prevent the beasts from going wild in the forest, and as the first line of defense for Dugu City during human war.

  Everyone got down from the dragon's back. Many people were still frightened by the few thoughts just now and their spirits had not yet recovered, with pale faces.

  Ruan Yuanshan said: The road ahead is for you to walk on your own, in ten days, I hope you have gained something, if not, you can go down the mountain and seek help from the military, they will send someone to take you back to the academy after you explain your identity. Good luck to you all.

  After finishing speaking, he disappeared from sight, and the two giant dragons also vanished.

  Everyone is looking for their own team, while Ziwei and others were originally a team, not too many or too few. In their team, there are also several more girls, namely Ziwei's future wives, Yu Jie and Dugu Xiaoxian. Their joining undoubtedly made this team even more vibrant, and this team is undoubtedly one of the strongest teams, not only because of Ziwei's presence but also because their unity is something that other teams cannot possess.

  Zi Wei said: Next, we will start advancing into the forest.

  Alright, forest, we're here.

  It's not just Ziwei and the others, but also people from other teams who found their temporary teammates around this time and set off together to fight for their dreams, create and survive. Those who live until the end are the winners.

  The forest is very large, and after walking into the forest for a while, people have basically dispersed, leaving only small groups working together to explore.

  Zi Wei said: "It's noon now, demons usually don't come out during the day. They are usually active at night, and daytime demons are rare but very scary. So we need to conserve our energy in case of a surprise attack by demons tonight."

  The others all nodded in agreement.

  They walked to a small stream, where the clear flowing water and sweet sound of the water made people feel extremely pleasant.

  Dugu Xiaoyuan said: If I don't hear the sound of water, I won't feel thirsty. But once I hear this beautiful sound of water, for some reason, suddenly, my thirst becomes unbearable.

  As he spoke, disregarding the gaze of the crowd, he directly scooped up a mouthful of creek water and threw it into his mouth.

  Ah, it's so sweet, just like the sound of water, come and have a drink.

  Everyone was so thirsty after Dugu Xiaoyun's words that they all rushed to the creek and started drinking in big gulps.

  "Hmm, you don't say, this water is really good to drink, I wonder where the source is,"

  Yu Jie pointed at the water source upstream.

  If I'm right, the source of this water should be deep in the forest, only we can't get there for now.

  Many people also feel sorry for this, after all, their strength is still not enough now, going there is a kind of seeking death, not wanting to live, unless he is really a high-handed person.

  Just then, several low whistling sounds suddenly stopped everyone's movements...
