Chapter 558: Candlelight Leads the Way
If you want to be expelled from the training center, it is not enough to just remove three red bars, you also need to go to the principal's office to go through the expulsion procedures.
So Wu Xian led everyone to the thatched hut where they took the test yesterday. As it was not yet dark, they did not encounter any obstruction.
A pair of paper figurines of a golden boy and a jade girl stood at the door of the thatched cottage just like they did yesterday.
When they saw so many people coming to go through the dismissal procedures, a smile seemed to appear on their delicate paper-pasted faces.
The Jade Girl Paper Figurine said briskly, "Please wait a moment. I will process your dismissal procedures at 6pm."
The two of them seemed very happy when facing the expelled students.
This unusual behavior made the six natives look at each other, and then some of them showed joy.
Although they participated in the escape plan, they were actually unsure of themselves. They just wanted to have a way to survive, so they had no choice but to try every possible means.
But now, the attitude of the paper man gave them peace of mind.
While waiting, Wu Xian turned around and asked Liu Siyi:
"Tell me more about Xu Yuening."
"You may have been a little hesitant just now, but there are not many people here, and you can leave soon, so you should be able to tell me now."
Liu Siyi was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but held it back, with an embarrassed expression on her face.
"I, I didn't lie. Yuening went to the student union on her own. After that, I went back to the dormitory with Mr. Ma and his wife to attend the rally. I really don't know anything else."
Wu Xian let out a light exclamation.
After looking at her seriously twice, he stopped asking questions.
Wait a moment.
Night finally fell and it was six o'clock in the evening.
In Jin Tong's hand, there appeared a stack of things similar to pass documents, which were the 'dismissal certificates', and in Yu Nu's hand, there was a box of ink.
Newcomers and natives took turns to step forward and put their fingerprints on the dismissal certificate with their names on it. Everyone who put their fingerprints on it felt as if their bodies instantly relaxed.
Soon, everyone received the dismissal certificate.
The golden boy and the jade girl each took a step forward, and the two paper figures spoke alternately, with male and female voices going back and forth.
"You may leave now."
"Only those who have been expelled can pass through the gate of the training center. The gate is located at..."
Before they could finish their words, a candle suddenly rose from the ground. The candle was white, with a flame burning quietly.
Then the second candle appeared five meters away, and the third candle rose ten meters away...
The candlelight spread out for who knows how far, forming a not very bright but very warm road in the dark training center.
The golden boy and the jade girl looked at each other, and there was a hint of smile in their voices.
"The exit is at the end of the candlelight."
"Grandpa can't speak, but we think that at this moment, he should want to offer his blessing to you. May his fire guide you out of the darkness."
Done.
The golden boy and jade girl retreated and stood still, like two dead objects.
Wu Xian looked at the direction where the flames extended.
"Let's go. This journey won't be peaceful."
……
Trouble came quickly.
Before they had walked far, they were already being stared at by something in the darkness. Deformed "animals" were staring at the group of fifteen people with terrifying eyes.
These things are half human and half beast, but not the harmonious style of "orcs". Instead, they are humans and animals mixed together, presented in the bloodiest and cruelest state!
The hateful look in their eyes made it impossible to look directly into their eyes.
Especially the six natives, it was the first time they saw such a thing, and they were frightened to death by the horrible face and undisguised malice.
After following the crowd for a distance, the animals finally couldn't help themselves and some of them began to roar strangely and pounced on the crowd.
Attacking from the front were a trio of primates: apes, monkeys, and gorillas.
The way they were combined was that the torsos were stacked on top of each other, the limbs were attached to the limbs, and the heads were arranged vertically. All three were long and thin, and looked even more weird under the firelight.
There was also one rushing over from the back and on the left and right sides.
"Stop Movement Technique!"
Huo Shutong struck a pose and moved her fingers quickly, using blocking techniques on all six animals that pounced on her.
This blessing ability can only be used once on the same target, so this opportunity cannot be missed, and the three followers attack at the same time.
Wu Xian took a step forward and rushed to the front where the pressure was greatest.
The blood-soaked old wolf-whip appeared out of thin air, and then was swung out suddenly. Between the fingers of his other hand, he was holding a playing card loaded with the Cursed Fire Spear, ready to add to the combo after the wolf-whip was swung out.
But unexpectedly, after the wolf whisk swept through, the sharp branches directly cut the three animals, causing their skin and flesh to be torn and their internal organs to be turned inside out. They fell to the ground and whimpered in pain.
Wu Xian was stunned for a moment and turned to look in another direction.
Just then, he saw the Taoist hat on Su Mi's head fluttering, emitting a faint green light shining on him, while he punched the heads of the two horrible animals one by one until they were dented.
On the other side, Xu Shen also pulled the bayonet out of the animal's neck. He didn't even use any props for worshiping gods, and he dealt with an alienated animal!
After the six animals were defeated, the natives and the newcomers were overjoyed.
The fact that the danger was resolved so easily shows how powerful the family members are, which makes them feel more secure.
But the four relatives looked at each other.
Something is wrong!
These animals are too weak!
They had experienced the strength of these animals the night before. Although they were not strong, they were not so weak that Wu Xian could not use the combos he had prepared.
"Could it be..."
Wu Xian winked at Su Mi, and Su Mi picked up a dying animal and dragged it to the candle. When the animal was still some distance away from the candle flame, blisters appeared all over its body, as if it had been burned by high temperature.
Huo Shutong clapped her hands excitedly: "I see, these candles can not only help us find the way, but also weaken the evil spirits that enter the candlelight range!"
Wu Xian turned his head and looked in the direction of the land temple.
He bowed slightly in greeting.
But the death of six animals did not make the other animals give up the attack. More and more animals surrounded the crowd, making everyone feel like they were surrounded by wolves.
At this moment, a strange sound similar to a wolf howling suddenly came from the distance!
After hearing this strange sound.
The surrounding 'animals' all slowly retreated with reluctance on their faces.
Wu Xian and others immediately looked in the direction where the strange sound came from.
I saw six strange shadows standing under a tree in the distance. The six shadows were far away from the crowd and looked at everyone calmly.
These six shadows were the six animals that Wu Xian saw at the door of his dormitory the night before. The cat-faced old lady he wanted to kill was among them!
