Chapter 431-432: The gue Vige; The Woods


    <b>431: gue Vige</b>


    And so Feng Wu learned why the vige was abandoned from the mice.


    What was the gue? Feng Wu had heard about it beforeing to this world. Sometimes when she went down the mountain, she would catch the vigers talk about it, and whenever they did, their expressions would turn strange. She was curious and so asked her master.


    He said the gue was a kind of extremely contagious disease. Anyone who caught it would most likely die if they had no effective treatment.


    Where is this ce? There isnt anyone around. Whered everyone go? Kaibu had circled around the area but had only found wildlife like spiders, mice and cockroaches.


    Look around and see if you can find a school badge. Luo said as he opened a half-broken door.


    No, theres no way its here. How can we find it so easily? Anma spoke hopelessly.


    Most of the others in the group felt the same way. It was impossible for level clearing items to be found at the starting point. But though they agreed, none of them wanted to give up hope.


    One by one, they got up to begin searching and see if they could find anything.


    There was a gue epidemic here. We should leave. Feng Wu knew the gue was very contagious. Even though the vige looked like it had been abandoned long ago, they would be in danger if any of the bacteria still survived.


    Epidemic?!


    How do you know?


    A torrent of surprise and questions came all at once. Some people couldnt believe there had been an epidemic.


    It told me. Feng Wu pointed to the mouse on the ground that was happily nibbling at the steamed bun in its paw.


    That?!


    You can understand what animals say? Ober asked in surprise.


    Being able tomunicate with animals wasnt that fantastic an ability to have. Most adult beasts could learn to speak the humannguage and all holy beasts were born with the ability to speak. Therefore, the ability to understand animals was a rtively useless skill.


    However, evenme abilities were useful in the right time, and ce and right now all their magic and qi were sealed, so Feng Wus ability to talk to animals would make it much easier for them toplete the group task.


    Wait, understand animalnguage? Wasnt that an innate ability? Was this girl actually an innately gifted person?!


    Though the people in the group were surprised Feng Wu had an innate ability, they werent too jealous because of how useless it was whenpared to other innate abilities.


    Yes. Feng Wu answered honestly and freely. Her master had told her being able to understand animalnguage was not a big deal in their current world so she didnt have to worry about being discovered like she had before.


    Is there really a gue here? Xinda frowned while looking around at the vige.


    Yes. Feng Wu nodded again.


    Wow! Then we need to get out of here fast. Even if it is just the virtual world, its still very dangerous. The gue has little effect on people who practice the arts like we do, but currently were just ordinary people and we can get sick easily.


    Yes, true. Senior Ober, we should leave immediately.


    No one thought Feng Wu would lie about it, after all, what good would the lie do her?


    Feng Wu, ask them how we can get out of here. Ober said to Feng Wu.


    She asked the little mouse the question and it answered right away but...


    The little mouse answered in a worried tone. You want to leave here?


    Yes. Feng Wu said to the little mouse.


    The way out of here was sealed long ago by the lord. Youll have to go through the big woods in the east if you want to leave, but there are a lot of monsters there. If you go in, you may note out alive.


    The little mouse thought of all the vigers who wanted to escape through the woods. All of them probably died because none of them ever came back alive.


    Feng Wu ryed everything the mouse said.


    The group never expected the vige to have a lord or that the lord would lock the ce down.


    A few people were sent out to check; obviously they werent going to blindly believe the words of a mouse.


    The news they shared when they returned was that there was indeed a strong seal around the vige. They wouldnt be able to leave.


    The only way out of the gue infested vige was through the dangerous woods the mouse mentioned, so out of desperation, the group decided to go through the woods in the east.


    Meanwhile, images of the teams were posted on the screen for the audience to view. The contestants fell from the sky andnded in different ces, some were tangled in tree branches, others were caught in the water, while somended in the nest of powerful beasts.


    Thending point was very important. Unlucky contestants could conceivably die, being eaten by beasts, before even getting an idea of their surroundings.


    Feng Wu and her groupnding in a gue vige wasnt fantastic, but they did better than some of the other groups who had alsonded in gue viges like they did. Her group discovered what was wrong with the vige and left immediately.


    Vice Principal, I would like to ask, are there any differences between the gue viges? I saw youugh when you heard one of the teams were going to enter the houses to inspect. Are there perhaps some kind of trap awaiting these contestants?


    Tamansha, with her acute observation, pointed to a screen and asked her question upon discovering the vice presidents off expression.


    In fact, the gue viges are a test. As long as the contestants enter a home and remain in the vige for an hour, they will immediately be infected.


    This gue is exceptionally contagious. A team member will automatically infect the other team members as soon as they spend more than half an hour with each other...


    <b>432: The Woods</b>


    Unless they find the medicine that treats this specific gue, they will be severely tired from blood loss. Eventually they will die and naturally be booted from the challenge.


    The vice principal touched his white beard as he smiled.


    No way! Untrue! Thats too much. There should at least be a sign in front of the vige, otherwise how would anyone know people had been infected with the gue?!


    Many students discussed in low tones after hearing the exnation from the vice president.


    Thats right! Its way too hard!


    Vice President, do you hear that? Some students think there should be a sign in front of the vige, otherwise it would be too difficult. After all, none of the students know the affairs of the vige. Is it right to put an epidemic like this in there? Isnt this being too unfair to our contestants?


    Tamansha sat on stage with a graceful smile on her lips.


    Unruffled by the question, the vice presidentughed as he spoke. There is no injustice. Each vige is seeded with information by the lord of the area. The contestants skill of observation and intuition for danger will be tested the moment they enter the vige. If they can not find the clues left behind by the lord, then being eliminated can only show theircking observational skills.


    We made it very clear at the start of thepetition that this would be a test of survival. Those who win are those who will survive to the end, but luck alone will not get them there. They must also have strongprehension and synthetical abilities.


    I see, thank you for the exnation Vice President. Let us continue to watch the games. Oh! A team is already leaving the gue vige? Dont they want to explore inside and see if they can find a badge?


    Tamansha was talking about Feng Wu and her party. They had exited the vige and were entering the eastern woods.


    The eastern woods were a strange ce filled with oddly shaped nts and fruits never before seen.


    Theyve entered the woods! Vice President, are there any traps in the woods? Tamansha asked with interest.


    Yes, the forest is arge maze and we have asked the lord to impose multiple diversions. So the students, who are now just ordinary people, will have a difficult time leaving the maze.


    Their current stores will onlyst three days, after which, they will have to analyze which nts are edible and which are not. It will be a difficult task for them as we asked the lord to make 80% of the nts in the area poisonous. They are a mix of nts created based on the lords personal preference and extinct nts from ancient times. This will hinder those contestants looking for food tremendously.


    Wow!


    So devious!


    Eighty percent poisonous nts... that means there is an eighty percent chance they will get poisoned to death in the woods.


    The vice president is too much! Its already difficult enough that the nts are so rare. Even a pharmacist would have to reference a book, no way can they memorize an entire book on nts!


    But now the contestants have to chose from ancient extinct nts which are poisonous and which are not. Some of them arent even real nts, just made up ones from the area lord. Thats crazy!


    The students in the audience had a heated discussion about how devious the vice principal was.


    Tamansha looked at the calm vice principal, then to the poor students in the audience. She sighed, wondering if they were unaware just how petty their vice principal was.


    Honestly, they needed to be more careful, otherwise the vice principal would sort them out.


    Even the teachers standing on the sides cast the students pitying nces.


    Little guys, you are still too young. Dont you know not to speak ill of the vice principal in front of his face?


    Feng Wu and her party were unaware what was waiting for them inside the woods. They walked inside the devious forest and quickly discovered a problem.


    These nts are so strange! Ive never seen them before!


    Anma, can you tell what nts these are? Ober, the only fifth year in the group, asked.


    These... Anma walked closer to the front to take a look. Rows of colorful ntsy in front of her. The colors were vibrant and very beautiful but were all unfamiliar species she had never seen before. These may to be extinct nts from ancient times. Be careful, dont touch them, theyre highly poisonous. Anma said sternly.


    Poisonous?! The girls immediately stood up and backed away from the nts they were about to pluck for a closer look. Even the boys took a few steps back.


    Everyone, be careful. This ce is really strange. I dont know what most of these nts are, so dont walk around carelessly.


    Even you dont know them?


    Sister Anma, youre a genius in the fourth-year pharmacy division! How can you not know these nts?! Camille said with eyes wide in disbelief.


    Yeah Anma, do you really not know these? Ober looked at the unfamiliar nts around him. He started worrying. If even Anma didnt know what the nts were, what would happen to them when they ran out of food?


    The serious problem hadnt urred to most of them yet; only Ober and Anma had thought of it.


    Anma shook her head heavily. As the top fourth-year pharmacy student, she was confident she hadpletely memorized the herbal medicine encyclopedia.


    There were a few nts she didnt recognize. She suspected 80% of the nts were extinct and not recorded in any books. This would make their progress much more difficult. If they failed to find food after three days, odds were extremely high they would starve to death or consume the wrong nt and be poisoned to death.
