The sun shone brightly, and a massive Teleportation Gate appeared on the plain. Hundreds of elves with golden hair emerged from it, followed by the clamor of half the plain.
After preparing for over half a month inside the Elf Forest, the survival training for fourth-year students of the Elf School Higher Academy officially began at this moment!
This gigantic Teleportation Gate came from within the Elf Forest and was jointly opened by several Elf Race elites.
Now, as several elf teachers, including Nico, emerged from the gate, the radiant golden Teleportation Gate slowly faded away.
Many elves were experiencing such a long-distance teleportation for the first time, their expressions filled with awe.
The last one in the group, the Tablet Spirit maiden, snorted dismissively.
Hmph, what’s so surprising about the Teleportation Gate.
She had several Teleportation Gates gifted by Shami in her Storage Space, after all.
Truly proving the old saying about big chests and little knowledge.
The group began to gather.
There were over three hundred elves in the fourth year, divided into more than a hundred squads.
In the Aireland Continent, every elf within the human royal family was regarded as an esteemed guest.
Now, over a hundred elves simultaneously appeared on the plain of the Human World, creating a vibrant scene that even passing birds couldn’t help but glance at.
"So this is the southeast of the Aoja Kingdom?"
The Tablet Spirit maiden, Lureya, looked around.
The elves around Lureya were highly enthusiastic about the survival training. In contrast, the maiden seemed calm, even indifferent.
After all, there was no chance of achieving rewards; it was all about accompanying others. Eventually, those who consistently stayed in the top ten in their grade would take the spots. So why not turn this survival training into an outdoor tour for the maiden?
There were also ten elf professors present, responsible for the safety of the fourth-year elf students.
"The task for everyone is to live on this grassland for a week."
"To ensure you can contact us promptly in case of danger, you must survive within the designated area."
"Simultaneously, there are quite a number of Skeleton Race creatures surviving in the nearby mountains. During this survival training, you can venture to defeat these monsters to increase your points. For more specific point details, you can check the survival manual."
As one of the elf professors, Nico read the relevant matters to the elf students and then announced the official start of this survival training.
Each elf squad dispersed all around, searching for suitable camping sites.
Ten elf professors with great abilities then went to their respective designated areas to establish camp, each professor responsible for student contact in one area.
Led by Lureya, Fes, and Xiaoxi, the trio of elves moved towards the east of the plain.
"We need to first choose a location for resting at night, then during the day head to the mountains to hunt skeletons for points."
Fes of the High Tier seriously pondered their situation but was worried about making decisions alone, fearing it might seem too dictatorial.
Lureya replied nonchalantly, "Hi~"
Xiaoxi timidly nodded repeatedly.
"Let’s all follow Fes’s lead!"
Fes frowned. It felt like her teammates lacked any enthusiasm!
After settling their camp, the trio of elf maidens began to head towards the mountains to hunt skeletons.
"Based on the intelligence from the Elf Traveler, there are densely packed labyrinth-like caves in those mountains, some interconnected and some not. Each cave houses differing numbers of skeletons."
"Let’s randomly pick a cave to enter. If something feels off, we can retreat," Xiaoxi whispered.
As they reached a valley in the mountain, the trio cautiously entered a cave.
The Elf Race’s classroom had specifically discussed the Skeleton Race. The Skeleton Race is a rather common monster, with individual attack power being weak. Even if encountering a group of skeletons, as long as you aim at their weak points, they can be quickly eliminated.
As they ventured deeper into the cave, they began needing Glowing Crystals for illumination, but the surroundings remained silent.
Xiaoxi nervously swallowed hard.
"This is my first time encountering monsters..."
The Demon Envoy Lureya leisurely strolled behind them, secretly yawning, as if she were on a vacation.
No, you already have a big monster beside you.
"Don’t worry, the skeleton’s weak points are the head and neck; just aim at these places to attack," offered Lureya, providing some friendly intelligence.
"Seems there are no skeletons in this cave."
Fes sighed in disappointment.
Being the strongest elf in her grade, Fes naturally hoped to earn high points and vie for the excellent student exchange slot.
"Could they be hidden in the dark, trying to surround us all at once?"
Soon, the trio suddenly noticed the air around them became foul and putrid. In areas where the Glowing Crystal’s light couldn’t reach, came creepy rustling sounds.
The three maidens immediately sensed danger.
"Glowing Crystal, maximum power."
Fes adjusted the Glowing Crystal in her hand to its maximum brilliance, and the light revealed dense, encircling skeletons surrounding them from all sides.
These skeletons emitted a strong stench, with various parts of their bodies dragging decomposed human material, forming a circle entirely surrounding the three.
"Th-these are skeletons. Why are they surrounding us? Could there be a Skeleton Strategist with intelligence among them?"
Behind the skeletons, a skeleton holding a feather fan slowly fanned itself.
