Chapter 568: Retreat

Seeing those students sneakily approaching the dead woods, almost all the lords who observed them had a strange smile on their faces;

This is the nature of human beings, and it cannot be erased, if those spirit beads encounter such a situation, they will definitely make the same actions as these students;

In the dead woods, a cold young man with blood stains on his body showed a look of anxiety on his face;

"Speed up, its roar is too loud, it must have alarmed a lot of people, don't let others grab it." The boy shouted in a low voice;

"Charlie, this monster is too powerful, it seems to have absorbed the item in its body, and its strength has reached the level of a reserve knight, and we alone can't defeat it at all." A young man who looked a little older shouted as he kept swinging his two-handed sword and slashing at a huge monster;

At this time, in the dead forest, three or four students are constantly attacking around a slime more than half a person tall, this monster slime looks like a water ball on the surface, and its body is full of thick green liquid, in the process of dodging, from time to time a green tentacle will stretch out, catapult out from the surface of the water ball-like slime's body, and smash towards the students besieging it;

In the body of this "water ball" that is more than one person high, you can vaguely see an item wrapped in silver light, faintly glowing, even if the dark green slime's body is thick, there is a trace of silver light coming out of the body, attracting everyone's attention;

In the team besieging it, only Charlie has the level of a knight's apprentice, and the others are just ordinary people's strength, and when he came into contact with this monster slime just now, one of the students was unprepared and stretched out his tentacles to attack, and was caught off guard, and was directly hit by the sudden tentacles, killing him on the spot;

The tentacles, which looked like baby arms, had a tremendous force that no adult possessed, and directly smashed all the bones in the student's chest, as if they had been struck in the chest by a heavy hammer;

At this time, the corpse of this student was leaning against a dead tree not far away, blood gushing out, but this student did not make the slightest movement, and if you look closely, he has long been lifeless;

"Charlie, this is not an existence that we can deal with, I don't want to be like Russell, throw my life here, I will withdraw first." The more a student fights, the more flustered he becomes, and finally chooses to retreat;

"Damn, is that all you have the guts to do? Don't forget, the lords are watching us. Charlie had an angry look on his face, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Do you think anyone would recruit a coward who escaped?" ”

Hearing Charlie's words, the other two became hesitant, but the retreating cadet remained unmoved, slowly broke away from the battle, turned around and ran towards the area outside the cordon;

What was unexpected was that almost all the lords who had set their eyes on this place looked at the student who had broken away from the battle, and their faces showed expressions of appreciation;

"Being able to gauge the gap between the enemy and oneself and give up in time is a wise choice." A lord with a short staff shook his head in admiration;

"Yes, he knows how to make trade-offs, he is not reckless, he is a little guy who can use his brain." A lord next to him chimed in;

However, some people also raised different opinions, Baron Layton's face was ugly, and he snorted coldly and said: "In the face of difficulties, you must have the courage to face difficulties, if you encounter a strong enemy, you retreat like this, then in the territory of the lord who recruits him, when he encounters the invasion of powerful demonic beasts, I am afraid that he will be the first to escape, such a person is useless!" ”

When several lords heard Baron Layton's words, their originally appreciative expressions began to become hesitant, and Baron Layton's words were not unreasonable;

The lords came to recruit students, mainly to wait until they grew up, become family knights, and resist the invasion of demonic beasts in the territory;

"Hehe, Baron Layton, you're being too harsh." Dean An Sudi said with a smile: "This is just an ordinary trial, and it has been clearly stated before the trial, it is not recommended that they cross the cordon and enter a deeper realm, this student can recognize the reality in time and leave in time, which is already good." ”

Dean Ansudi glanced around, then smiled indifferently: "But if he becomes a territory knight in the future, then the responsibility on his body will naturally tell him what is the most correct way to do it." ”

"Hehe, I hope so." Baron Layton sneered, and did not argue, but took his gaze away from the departing cadet and on the others;

Many of the lords chose to do the same thing as Baron Layton, taking their eyes off the departing cadet;

Dean Ansudi sighed slightly in his heart, although the students of the Jisang Knight Academy are all free to enter and study in the academy, but if they really want to become a knight, the cost is very large, even if it is a wealthy family, they may not be able to afford the cost of a knight;

Weapons, armor, war horses, and a knight, each year's consumption costs at least a hundred gold coins, which is really an unbearable burden for ordinary people who have no territory;

And every student who can sign an employment agreement with these lords will receive funding from the lords for the rest of their study career, which will allow them to focus all their energy on learning and improving their strength, and will not worry about gold coins;

But now it seems that no lord is willing to sponsor this student who left the battle, even in the opinion of Dean Ansudi, there is nothing wrong with the choice made by this student;

……

At this time, the battle in the dead forest became more and more intense, and among the dry trees around, some of the students who had already rushed over were carefully hiding their bodies and secretly observing the battle below.

On the surface of the monster slime's body, a tentacle suddenly popped out and swept towards one of the students;

"Kaza, get out of the way!" Charlie's face changed and he shouted;

Kaza is the weakest one in their squad, seeing the slime attacking him, Charlie's heart sank, if one more person dies, I'm afraid what he is talking about, and no one will stay with him to continue to attack;

Kaza was emaciated and looked a little malnourished, but his movements were sharp, and when the green tentacle smashed at him, his body sank slightly, and he rolled behind a dead tree next to him;

Rumble~

The tentacles smashed directly into the dead tree, and the big tree that one person could barely wrap around was directly hit, and the upper half fell slowly, making a "click" breaking sound, and fell backwards;

Kaza, who originally thought he had dodged a blow, was a little flustered and hurriedly got out from behind the dead tree;

Bang~

With a loud bang, the dead tree snapped, and the upper half of the trunk fell right on the place where Kaza was hiding just now, and the frightened Kaza was glad that it had not disappeared yet, and he heard Charlie exclaim;

The slime, who originally poked out a tentacle, suddenly burst out of the surface of his body with a tentacle and smashed it towards Kaza;

This time, Kaza couldn't dodge anymore, and his strong desire to survive made Kaza fall to the left side of his body, and the thick green tentacles of his arm smashed directly into Kaza's thigh, with a crisp fracture sound, Kaza's face showed a hideous look, and a terrible scream came out of his mouth;
