Elite Mages’ Academy

After a brief debate, Xiao Lin and the others finally stepped into the Sunset Canyon. Although he himself did not have full confidence, if he did not want to die of thirst here, he had to find a supply station first.

The entire Sunset Canyon is V-shaped, and the entrance is relatively narrow. After turning the first corner, the field of vision immediately becomes wider. Looking from a distance, the canyon is winding and winding, and the surrounding rocks are piled up one after another. With the twists and turns of the Grand Canyon, it is like a bond, dancing on the earth.

Although the high temperature was unbearable, clusters of plants grew in the cracks of the rock formations, and some even produced light red, thumb-sized wild fruits. Despite Xiao Lin's repeated warnings, some people couldn't help but tasted one, and within a few days In a few minutes, the unlucky guy was clutching his stomach and rolling on the ground in pain, his face was pale. In the end Xiao Lin could only knock him out first, hesitated for a while, let other people take turns to support him and move on.

This episode made the speed of the team slower, and the consumption of water was faster than expected, especially because many people did not know how to allocate limited water, and drank most of the pot in one go. After only about two hours, half The people on the left and right drank all the water.

The heat and thirst afflicted many people, but there was no sign of the supply station that Xiao Lin mentioned, and some people already regretted it: "Actually, we should go all the way with Wang Dalin, among other things, the rear is the plain area, the map I also looked at the signs on it, and the distribution of water sources is basically in that area."

Xiao Lin glanced at him with the idiot's eyes, and said angrily: "You can think of this, can't the garrison of the Thunder Kingdom think of it? The climate around here is very dry. To ensure the water supply, the garrison's barracks must be built in the Near the water source, the tiger's mouth has its teeth pulled out, and they can't escape."

"Why are you so sure that they can't escape? Although I don't want to take risks, Wang Dalin's words actually make sense. The success rate is at least 50-50. There are risks, but as long as you don't get discovered..."

"Impossible to succeed!" Xiao Lin sighed: "Have you noticed how the mandatory mission is written, to get rid of the pursuit of the kingdom's army, this is the prerequisite for the mission, which actually means that the enemy has already known from the beginning We're coming."

Xiao Lin scratched his hair in some distress: "I've been thinking about this question since just now, and this premise is very contradictory. If we say that we completely simulate real battles in history, then the enemy should know about us after the exam begins. The presence."

"How did they know? No scouts like scouts were found."

Xiao Lin spread his hands: "I can't figure it out either, but if my guess is true, if I go to investigate now, I'm just courting death."

"Impossible, even if you find it by accident, just disperse and retreat..."

"Wolf cavalry." Xiao Lin shook his head and interrupted the other party: "Didn't you read the information carefully? This garrison includes two infantry brigades and a wolf cavalry squadron."

"So what about the wolf cavalry, uh, okay..." The man who spoke was a dark-skinned man with a longbow on his back. He was honest and realized that his thinking was too simple, so he took the initiative to apologize to Xiao Lin.

Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge can understand how terrifying the impact and speed of cavalry in the plains are. Xiao Lin doesn't know much about the wolf cavalry, and the information doesn't state it in detail, but he doesn't believe it anyway. This group of freshmen who have not even reached the level of black iron, how can they run on the plain with only two legs than the four legs of the cavalry.

The man hesitated for a while, and then asked: "If the Thunder Kingdom's garrison had really been prepared, with the advantage of the cavalry, they might not be able to escape. Why didn't you remind them?"

Xiao Lin smiled wryly: "Wang Dalin certainly didn't think of this, but other people may not have thought of it. All of this is just my baseless guess. To put it bluntly, it's still a risk."

The others nodded approvingly. Compared to Wang Dalin's radical approach, they admired Xiao Lin's prudence and conservatism. Xiao Lin's choice was based on the premise that his side was discovered.

In this case, entering the canyon to avoid the pursuit of wolf cavalry is the best choice.

Xiao Lin glanced at Gu Xiaoyue slightly, the girl was also looking at him with a frown, but her eyes were not very good, Xiao Lin smiled bitterly, he had to admit that Gu Xiaoyue's lifespan made him feel stuck in his throat, he couldn't agree to take risks at all, success is of course good , you can complete optional tasks to get extra rewards, but if you fail, this girl only has 2 years left to live!

The man who spoke patted Xiao Lin on the shoulder, and said: "My name is Lu Renyi, and I am taking a course in the direction of bow and arrow. If you need anything, just tell me, class, class leader."

The man was about 30 years old, and he was quite strong. He seemed a little embarrassed to call the squad leader, and Xiao Lin didn't mind: "Call me by my name, Lu Renyi? If I remember correctly, your basic archery skills are already It's LV2."

"That's right, I randomly got a big knife in the entrance test, and I rushed out and killed only a few zombies before I was killed." Lu Renyi groaned with regret: "Later, I learned from the painful experience and felt that melee combat was too dangerous and easy to die. I took a bow and arrow course."

It turned out that he was afraid of death, but Xiao Lin couldn't help but laugh. The number of people taking bow and arrow courses is far less than that of magic and close combat. A person who chooses bow and arrow, pay special attention to it.

Xiao Lin's explanation temporarily stabilized everyone's irritability. After a short rest, the team moved forward again. If Xiao Lin's map is not wrong, they still have about half a day's journey to reach the suspected supply station. .

"This road seems to be a bit far from the agreed meeting place." Lu Renyi said suddenly, he also had a hand-drawn map in a hurry, the drawing was very blurry, but he still vaguely felt it, but it was nothing. Other ideas are purely out of curiosity.

"According to Squad Leader Xiao's speculation just now, as long as those people are discovered, there is no possibility of retreating on the plain at all. There is no need to gather in the first place. Let's just go our own way!" Another girl helped Xiao Lin answer. .

"That's right, it's enough to survive this mission anyway!" Lu Renyi didn't think too much about it. In other words, those who followed Xiao Lin all took survival as the ultimate goal of this exam.

Gu Xiaoyue cast a strange look at him again, but she didn't speak, Xiao Lin smiled wryly, probably he couldn't hide his small thoughts from this girl.

Gu Xiaoyue was opposed to setting up a rendezvous point, while Xiao Lin insisted on doing so, but the two people's considerations were actually in the same direction. They didn't think that Wang Dalin's group could really detect information under the nose of the enemy and even leave safely.

But Xiao Lin's conversation with Song Junlang the day before the exam made him think more. They are the invaders of this world. If the exam is almost a 100% simulation, then what is restored is not only the environment, but their The enemy may be just an NPC, but at least it is a very intelligent high-level NPC.

The Thunder Kingdom they are going to face this time also belongs to the human kingdom. They are not zombies without IQ and reason. When the enemy captures a group of invaders with unknown intentions, will they really be killed on the spot? Xiao Lin put himself in the shoes of an army and thought that if he was the commander of an army and captured the intruder's spies or scouts, he would definitely give priority to trying to find out the other party's information and intentions.

As for the method of obtaining information, torture or use special spells, the method is not important, anyway, Xiao Lin does not think that once Wang Dalin and others are caught, they have the spirit of preferring to die rather than surrender. When Wang Dalin decided to take the initiative to carry out investigation operations, it almost meant that the group of them would be exposed 100%.

Xiao Lin agreed to set up a rendezvous point, not to fool Wang Dalin and the others, but to deliberately convey this information to the commander of the enemy garrison through the captured students! ) Book friends, pay attention!
