Chapter 5662 - 5662 rocks
If they had to cross the river one by one. then the question of who would be the first to cross the river in the three courtyards was right in front of them.
Vice-sect master Xiao glanced at sect master yuan and said, “The lower house will go first. ”
Sect Master Yuan’s face darkened slightly. Even a fool would know that the person who went first was testing the waters. If there was any danger, he would be the first to bear the brunt.
However, he had no way to refuse.
He could only say to the people of the lower house with a sullen face, “All of you follow behind me. Five people in a group, be on high alert. ”
Seeing that sect master yuan was actually taking the lead, the spirits immediately felt a warmth in their hearts and nodded in agreement.
Sect Master Yuan immediately walked into the river and headed towards the north bank.
Even though he had been to the Thunder Valley several times before, and even though the Thunder Valley had the lowest risk factor among the several places that produced thunder striking stones, he still did not dare to be careless.
When the Spirit Department students saw that sect master yuan was acting like this, their hearts were in their throats, and they carefully followed sect master yuan toward the north bank.
After a quarter of an hour, all the spirit department students from the lower house had arrived at the north bank, and nothing unexpected happened.
Seeing this, the students from the upper house and the middle house heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts, and they even showed a hint of disdain. Those trash from the lower house were really not presentable. They could have passed in a quarter of an hour, yet they were still so paranoid and delayed for such a long time.
Therefore, when they went into the water, they were much more relaxed than the students from the lower school. Some even had the leisure to look around.
One of the students from the middle school saw a stone under his feet that was emitting a lustrous light. He could not help but feel delighted and bent down to pick up the stone.
However, when his hand touched the stone, he felt a sharp pain in his finger, as if someone had pricked it with a needle.
He could not help but let out a scream. He stood up straight and looked down to see that his right hand had swelled up and quickly spread to his entire right arm.
The others did not know what had happened. Their first reaction was to run frantically towards the north bank. For a moment, it was a mess.
As the people were all crowded together, some people were pushed to the side. Then, there was a series of screams. There was actually someone who was sucked into the Vortex that suddenly appeared next to him.
What was even more shocking was that the injured student suddenly went crazy. He grabbed a student who was passing by and bit at the student’s neck.
At the critical moment, director Xiaofu slapped the crazy student. The student flew like a kite with a broken string to the surface of the river in the distance.
Then, he was swallowed by the Vortex and disappeared.
“Move forward in order. Whoever is more crowded will be severely punished! “Director Xiaofu shouted sternly.
The students were greatly frightened by this series of unexpected events. They did not dare to act recklessly again. They continued to move forward with fear and trepidation. Finally, they arrived at the north bank.
It was precisely because that male student touched a rock that three students died in an instant. Other than that male student, the other two were pushed into the river by the crowd and were swallowed by the whirlpool.
Everyone immediately understood the terror of the Thunderbolt Valley. Initially, they thought that it was just a rumor and there was no danger. Now, it was simply extremely dangerous.
A student used his courage to ask a lecturer about the situation of the boy. The lecturer sighed and said,
“That’s not a rock at all, but a sea beast unique to this river. It disguises itself as a rock and deceives people to touch it.
After being pricked by its poisonous thorns, the venom will enter the body through the wound, and then the whole person will go crazy.
“The most terrifying thing is that the person who was bitten by it will also have the same symptoms as him. There is no antidote for that poison, so vice-director Xiaofu’s prompt decision to kill him just now was the best solution..”
