Chapter 118: Attack from Black Corner Domain.
In an instant, several figures emerged from the sandstorm, all dressed in black, with masks covering their faces, exuding an unfriendly aura. "Hand over all your belongings, and maybe your lives will be spared." The leader said coldly, with undoubted ruthlessness in his voice.
Xiao Chong frowned slightly, but did not show any panic. Instead, there was a hint of joking at the corner of his mouth: "Oh? It seems a bit lively today. However, if you want to snatch things from the disciples of Canaan Academy, you may not have the ability."
"Arrogant!" shouted angrily, and the people in black showed their weapons one after another, and the tension in the air instantly escalated.
At this moment of tension, a disciple suddenly asked Xiao Chong in a low voice: "Brother, can we really deal with it?"
Xiao Chong responded with a firm look: "Believe me, and believe in yourselves. Let's go together and give them some color!"
Following Xiao Chong's order, the disciples of Canaan Academy formed their formations one after another, preparing to fight. As for Xiao Chong himself, his body swayed and he shuttled between the enemies like a ghost. Every move he made was clean and neat, showing off his master's style.
When the fierce battle was in full swing, a dialogue sounded in the melee:
"Senior Brother Xiao Chong, your strength is really amazing!" The thin young man gasped, the sword in his hand was still shining, and his eyes were full of excitement and admiration.
Xiao Chong smiled, and the tip of his sword gently knocked away an enemy's weapon: "Everyone has unlimited potential, and you are no exception. Remember today's battle, it will be a valuable asset on your growth path."
As the last scream fell, all the men in black were defeated and fled in all directions. As for the Canaan Academy team, although they were disheveled, they could not hide the pride and joy on their faces.
"Let's go, this is just the beginning, the more exciting things are yet to come." Xiao Chong clapped his hands and spoke in a relaxed tone, as if everything just now was just an insignificant episode.
The group continued on the journey, but the seeds of fearlessness and unity had been planted in their hearts. They had more expectations and confidence for future adventures.
"Senior Brother Xiao Chong, you are right. Real growth does come after experiencing ups and downs. I look forward to witnessing more miraculous moments with you." The words of the thin young man were filled with unprecedented determination and longing.
"Then, let us move forward together and leave our own legend in this vast world." Xiao Chong's eyes penetrated the fog in the distance, and his words were full of yearning and pride for the unknown world.
The stream gurgled and the sun shone dappledly on the clear water, bringing a touch of coolness and comfort to the fatigue of the journey.
The students gathered around the stream, passing kettles around and enjoying the gift of nature. However, this peaceful scene was soon broken by a sudden chaos.
"Well... my head is so dizzy..." A student suddenly covered his stomach and groaned with a pale face.
Immediately afterwards, more students fell one after another, and painful cries for help emerged one after another. The originally cheerful atmosphere instantly became tense and panicked.
Xiao Chong was keenly aware of the strangeness and quickly glanced around, frowning. "No! Don't drink any more water!" He warned loudly, while quickly walking towards the student who felt uncomfortable first.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the water?" The thin boy also hurried over, his eyes full of anxiety.
Xiao Chong carefully checked the liquid in the kettle, and then said in a deep voice: "The water has been poisoned. We must find a way to detoxify it immediately." "Who would be so cruel to poison us?" A man stood with barely enough support. The rising student asked angrily, his tone full of confusion and fear.
"Don't worry about who it is, it's important to save people." Xiao Chong gave the order calmly. His voice was firm and powerful, like an invisible force, gradually calming down the panicked crowd around him.
He took out a crystal clear jade bottle from his arms, which was a rare antidote elixir he had obtained during his early travels. "Distribute this powder to everyone, dissolve it with water and take it." While giving the order, he had already started to deal with it.
Everyone acted as they were told, and soon the symptoms of the poisoned students began to ease, and the crisis was resolved. But this incident undoubtedly sounded the alarm for everyone. The dangers on the journey were far more complicated than they expected.
As night fell, everyone sat in a circle around the bonfire, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Xiao Chong's eyes were deep, scanning everyone's face, and finally landed on the thin young man. "This incident has exposed our lack of vigilance to the outside world. From now on, we must be more careful."
"Senior Brother Xiao Chong, who do you think did it?" the thin young man asked in a low voice, determination flashing in his eyes, obviously not intending to succumb to the unknown threat.
Xiao Chong shook his head, "It's not certain yet, but I believe that no matter who did it, their purpose is to hinder our way forward. We can't let them succeed."
"Then what should we do? Are we going to be beaten passively like this?" Another student couldn't help but made an angry statement.
Xiao Chong raised a meaningful smile on his lips, "Of course not. We must become stronger and respond to all these challenges with strength. From tomorrow on, I will teach you some basic self-defense skills and knowledge of identifying poisons, so that anyone can No one dares to look down upon our students at Canaan College.”
The firelight reflected on his face, making him look particularly determined and unyielding. When the students around him heard this, their eyes lit up with fighting spirit and hope.
"Okay! We must learn our skills to protect ourselves and our companions!" The thin boy was the first to respond. The determination that radiated from the inside out was no longer the immaturity of a fledgling.
"Yes! We want to be strong!" Others also expressed their opinions, and their faith took root in their hearts, condensing into a force that cannot be underestimated.
When the night got darker, Xiao Chong hid in the night, his aura condensed to the extreme, as if he was integrated with the dark night. He squinted at the two black figures standing by the creek, knowing full well that these nocturnal people were definitely not good people, and were probably the masterminds behind the attempt to destroy the peace of Canaan College.
"Did you hear that? That Xiao Chong actually threatened in front of everyone today that we should all learn to protect ourselves." A deep voice sounded with a bit of disdain.
"Hmph, that's not a bad tone. However, strength has always been respected in Canaan College. How do these 'special' students think they can change anything with just a few words?" Another person sneered, his words full of contempt for Xiao Chong. The contempt of others.
Xiao Chong frowned slightly, his fingertips gently caressing the short blade in his sleeve, thinking about how to quietly capture the two of them and explore more information. While he was thinking, he suddenly moved and approached the two of them as quietly as the night wind.
"Hey, brother, wait a minute, it's not safe in this forest." Xiao Chong's voice suddenly sounded from behind, causing the two men in black to turn around in shock.
"Who?!" The two quickly assumed a fighting stance, but except for the sound of wind, there was no other movement.
