When he woke up early the next morning, Huo Zhanji did not rush to get down from the tree, but instead explored the surroundings as he did before sleeping last night, then meditated to restore his energy as best as possible. Then he followed the rising sun. Find your location and move forward. During the wilderness survival course at the junior college, the teachers once taught that no matter what kind of environment you are in, you must keep a calm mind and ensure safety before taking action.
Currently, fourteen hours had passed since he first arrived here.
While traveling, Huo Zhanji estimated the distance. He maintained a steady pace. Even though time continued to pass, he would rest and recover whenever his physical and soul strength were consumed by around 30%.
It had to be said that in an environment where vision was greatly hampered, mental detection skills were very useful. This can help him find water sources and some fruits smoothly to ensure sufficient physical energy.
It was only around noon that he finally emerged from the forest. Ahead, in the distance, the first thing seen before was a wilderness. The next moment, Huo Zhanji was deeply shocked by the scene before him.
Large tents formed a rolling camp that stretched as far as the eye could see. Large wooden fences gathered together and blocked off the tents. The giant, spiky tree roots stood upright, some sloping outwards.
Huo Zhanji's mental strength is far different from ordinary people. Looking far into the distance, he could vaguely feel the burning feeling of this huge camp. It wasn't because of the temperature, and he didn't know what it was.
Then he saw some strange existences.
A group of hundreds of cavalry troops galloped over from one side of the camp. The cavalryman was not riding a horse, but a huge wolf, about three meters long and more than 1.7 meters high at the shoulder. He had a saddle on his back and even a horned helmet on his head. Its limbs were thick and strong, and its wolf claws were enormous. He can run as fast as fly.
The knight sitting on the back of this giant wolf also looked very strong. He had the head of a wolf and was about two meters tall. He had a longbow on his back, arrows hanging from both sides of his thighs, and a mace in his hands. Heavy weapons class. As the giant wolf ran wildly, the knight on the wolf's back made the wolf howl loudly from time to time.
Wolf Knight?
Seeing this scene, Huo Zhanji couldn't help but take a breath. He was absolutely certain that with his martial spirit, which was not good at fighting, he would probably be crushed even if he faced the Wolf Knight one on one. He now vaguely understood the source of the scorching heat he felt. It was the energy and blood fluctuations of these orcs! In this camp, the number of Orcs is probably no less than one hundred thousand. An army of one hundred thousand orcs!
After swallowing a bit, Huo Zhanji understood that his mission was to pass through this camp and reach the border city where humans lived within three days.
Not to mention that he was only a twentieth level soul master, even if he was a sixtieth level soul emperor, as long as his martial soul was not suitable for hiding, it was unlikely that he would survive.
He was young and simple-minded. At this moment, what he thought was that it would not work if he attacked hard.
There must be a chance, Huo Zhanji secretly confirmed in his heart, after all, this is just an entrance exam for new students! If there is no chance at all, you probably won't be able to pass the graduation exam, right?
Since he was looking for an opportunity, he could only choose to wait. However, he did not relax in his thoughts, he began to recall everything he experienced since he reported for admission, especially the introduction of the task ahead of him.
His mental strength was quite good, so his memory was also very good. He remembers carefully and does not miss any details of previous assignments.
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was that he definitely had a chance. The difficulty of the task should not be so great that it is impossible to do. Moreover, he clearly remembered that as a new student assessment, this mission had a protection mechanism, which meant that even if he failed the mission, he would not die here.
When he thought of this, Huo Zhanji suddenly became bolder.
At this moment, suddenly a loud roar sounded. "Boom--"
This sudden roar scared Huo Zhanji so much that he almost jumped off the ground. He shivered cleverly and instantly activated his mental detection.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom—"
A series of roars sounded, and the entire orc camp instantly became lively. All kinds of orc soldiers gathered quickly, and then quickly gathered in the opposite direction of the camp.
This...
Although he didn't know enough about this world, Huo Zhanji vaguely guessed that this was an army gathering for a fight? Going on an expedition?
When the army goes to war, the camp will naturally become empty.
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to neglect and immediately retreated into the forest behind him.
He had just thought of various ways. Currently, the Orc army was out, and an opportunity presented itself.
He immediately looked for some leafy vines in the forest, and wove these vines into a blanket measuring two by two meters. Then he made a ring of grass and put it on his head.
A blanket of leaves is draped around the body, with a ring of grass around the head. Both hands pulled the leaf blanket from both sides to cover his body as much as possible. Then he came out of the forest again.
At this time, the roar of orcs like mountains and tsunamis continued to sound from a distance. Rather than trying to cross the orc camp now, Huo Zhanji put on a blanket of leaves and used it as a large cloak to cover his body. Then he immediately found a higher place, found a big tree here and climbed it.
After all, he is a soul master, and his physical fitness is much stronger than ordinary people. He quickly climbed to the top of the tree, and then looked far into the distance, towards the orc camp and beyond.
The reason why he did not rush to try to break through the Orc camp was because Huo Zhanji understood that he might only have one chance. Because once discovered, he would definitely die. Even if it doesn't really die, the assessment will definitely fail.
Therefore, he wanted to be as prepared as possible before taking what might be his only chance to try.
Soul power circulated and concentrated in his eyes. Two circles of soul rings appeared. The yellow glow of the soul ring was blocked by him using a blanket of leaves. Even under the tree, it is not easy to see it at this time.
With the inspiration of his martial spirit, Huo Zhanji's eyes suddenly showed a hint of confusion, and his vision suddenly improved a lot.
The basic talent of his spiritual eye martial soul was vision enhancement. Without the need for mental detection, his eyesight was several times that of ordinary people, and would continue to improve as his cultivation level increased.
At this moment, looking into the distance and taking advantage of the high ground, Huo Zhanji saw that the Orc army had gathered on the other side of the camp. In total there were eight square formations consisting of five thousand people. The formation formed was exactly like the wolf cavalry he had seen before.
Apart from that, the only thing he could recognize among the four square formations in the center was a bear warrior who was each over three meters tall and holding a heavy shield and a giant hammer. He couldn't recognize some of the other races for a while.
In front of the army, there were more than a dozen burly creatures standing out. They were all over four meters tall, extremely majestic, bare-chested, holding heavy weapons, and pointing into the distance.
At this moment, looking far into the distance from this higher ground, Huo Zhanji finally saw the goal of his mission. Because the distance was too far, even with his eyesight, he could only vaguely see the outline of the city walls in the distance.
There, it should be a human city. The leader of the orc army seems to be Behemoth, the strongest orc race mentioned in the information I obtained previously.
Huo Zhanji stared at the battlefield for a moment. Currently, on the wilderness plains, there were at least more than 40,000 orcs gathered. There are more than 10,000 people in the field, not to mention the size of orcs is much larger than humans. The shocking visual impact made his blood boil. Is this a war in the era of cold weapons? What a surprise!
At this moment, suddenly in the distance, a loud dragon roar suddenly sounded, "Ang—"
Behind the human city wall, a giant dragon soared into the sky, its loud roar resounded through the sky, and there was a human sitting vaguely on the dragon's back. The giant dragon's roar was long and loud.
There were no human troops on the other side of the fortress. It was clear that they did not intend to fight directly, but wanted to defend the city.
At this moment, a low-pitched horn sound that made people's blood boil and burn sounded from the Orc army, "Woo— Woo— Woo—"
"Woo—" A loud roar sounded, and the Orc army began to move forward as a whole.
The wolf cavalry on both sides were the fastest. The wolf knight rode his horse and accelerated suddenly, heading straight for the human fortress with bursts of howling and whistling sounds.
The war is about to start!
In the direction of the human fortress, several colored lights flickered faintly. Huo Zhanji's spiritual eye experienced a great increase in mental power. He could vaguely judge that it seemed to be elemental power. If they appear, to what extent do these elements need to be compacted?
Seeing that the wolf cavalry was about to arrive in front of the fort, countless fireballs, wind blades, and ice picks flew out from the direction of the human fort. Go straight towards the Wolf Cavalry and protect it.
The wolf cavalry quickly turned around and switched from a frontal charge to running sideways. However, they also released their longbows and shot arrows towards the head of the fortress.
The Orc army began to accelerate, and some strange sounds were also heard from behind the Orc army. Huo Zhanji saw a faint red light begin to spread from behind the Orc army to the front. Get up, the speed has increased a lot.
What power is that? Similar to additional upgrades?
The one who defends the human fortress must be a wizard, right?
Seeing the epic scene before him, Huo Zhanji couldn't help himself. How powerful was the general leading this army! This feeling is really very exciting.
Before long, he got a little dizzy. The magic released from above the human fortress began to become more powerful, and often a single spell could cover an area of hundreds or even thousands of square meters. All kinds of magic that he couldn't name fell towards the orc army's battle formation with violent elemental fluctuations. The Orc army also launched a very powerful attack on the fortress.
Can't wait any longer. Huo Zhanji took a deep breath.
When he first started, he thought that he would carefully observe and calculate the duration of the war between the two sides. He would look for opportunities when the orcs and humans started fighting again.
But judging from a collision of this magnitude before us, both sides will definitely go through a period of recovery after the battle. I don't know how long this battle will last, but I have less than fifty hours now. I can't wait! We should take advantage of this opportunity to pass through the orc camp.
Thinking about this, Huo Zhanji no longer paid attention to the battlefield. He quietly moved away from the tree, disguised himself with his own blanket of leaves, and fully activated his mental detection, and quickly approached the direction of the orc camp.
Currently, the Orc army's attention was on the battlefield, but there were still patrolling and reconnaissance soldiers in the military camp.
But Huo Zhanji had already surveyed the route from high ground beforehand and walked along the edge of several hillsides. He didn't stop until he was only about a kilometer away from the Orc camp. Because there is no longer any protection in front.
At this moment, killing cries and roars resounded through the sky from the direction of the battlefield. Huo Zhanji could still occasionally see dragon knights in the air occasionally swooping onto the battlefield to join the battle.
After resting for a while, he ate the last few fruits in his arms to restore his physical energy, then drank the water stored in the bamboo tube. Then he set off again.
Creep forward!
Under the camouflage of leaves, Huo Zhanji began to crawl forward quietly. With his mental detection of the outside world, he didn't need to lift his head to see.
Every fifty meters he would stop and rest for a moment, then continue to crawl forward.
...
Three people stood in front of a large screen.
There was a handsome man in the middle, who looked about thirty years old. Her long blue hair was scattered behind her head. He looked relaxed, the figure writhed forward with a look of surprise on its face.
He turned to look at the young man next to him who was slightly younger than him, "Zhanji, this kid, doesn't want to infiltrate the Orc camp from the front and then pass through, right?"
The corner of the young man's mouth twitched, "It seems that he made a wrong judgment. In the first scene of the World of Mad Gods, the normal permission was to walk sideways as quickly as possible, bypass the Orc camp, and then go to Stru Fortress. The humans were three hundred meters in a straight line , and if you include detours, it is about five hundred miles for a soul master above level 20, as long as you hurry.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The setting of this scene should be relatively normal for ordinary children. As long as you concentrate and have a certain physical strength, it should not be difficult to pass. However, for Zhanji, it is a bit unsuitable. His own ability is spiritual eye, and his physical fitness was weaker than other freshmen. Seventy-two hours and five hundred miles would be a long journey for him, it was best to maintain physical fitness and carry out careful reconnaissance along the way night, and being careful also spent a lot of time there wouldn't be enough time to do that, so he decided to skip it to complete the level.”
The beautiful woman opposite the middle-aged man said angrily: "This is because there was a problem when you set the level. Dad, you still need to adjust this!"
"Silly boy, if you pass the middle, the difficulty will increase several times. As long as he is discovered by the orcs, he will never pass the test."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's wait and see."
