Chapter 145 - Warlock (1)

Na Ken held onto his signal crystal as he walked toward the depths of the Obscure Forest. A few moments earlier, he had detected that the team he was responsible for had lost all of their badges. Therefore, he had to rely on the magic that he had left on those five students to locate them and to lead them out of the forest.

Not long later, Na Ken found Lin Ke under a huge tree, but he was in a sorry state.

His face was swollen like a pig’s head while his clothes were filthy. He looked like he had endured a fierce and bitter battle before that.

Na Ken remembered that Lin Ke’s team consisted of four other female students. He deduced that the team had suffered an attack by another group from Lin Ke’s appearance, but he did not know what had happened with the rest of them.

“Teacher Na Ken.” With his swollen face, it was even strenuous for Lin Ke to speak.

“Where are the rest of your team?” Na Ken glanced at Lin Ke and surveyed his surroundings. However, he only saw articles of clothing on the ground but not even the silhouettes of the four other female team members.

“They are bathing.” Lin Ke said honestly as he pointed toward the hot springs with his hands.

Na Ken subconsciously looked toward the direction Lin Ke pointed. The moment he saw the four fair female figures as they frolicked around in the hot springs, he immediately realized his rude behavior and hastily looked away before he awkwardly cleared his throat.

“Go and get them. You have all been eliminated. I will give you the antidote, and after that, you shall follow me out of the Obscure Forest.”

Lin Ke looked at Na Ken with a tearful face and said, “Teacher, I do not dare to go…”

After he thought it through, Na Ken felt that it was not appropriate to ask Lin Ke to fetch the female students too. Lin Ke was also a male student, and the ladies would probably attack him if he were to intrude on them at the hot springs.

“In that case, I will give you the antidote. Call out to them from afar and leave the antidotes by the hot springs for them to drink.”

“Yes, Teacher.” Lin Ke nodded obediently.

Na Ken took four bottles of antidote from his space ring and passed them to Lin Ke. After he personally witnessed Lin Ke drank his bottle of antidote, he turned to the side to prevent himself from any indecent scenes.

Lin Ke ran toward the hot springs with the three bottles of antidote. However, halfway there, he suddenly changed his direction toward a nearby bush at the side.

Shen Yanxiao squatted behind a tree trunk and beamed when she saw Lin Ke’s swollen face. She reached out and took the three bottles of antidote that Lin Ke handed to her.

After Lin Ke handed her the three bottles of antidote, his focused gaze immediately blurred, and he stood rooted at the spot. It was not until Shen Yanxiao had left him that he returned to the tree he was at previously.

Na Ken was puzzled when Lin Ke returned to him. He noticed that Lin Ke’s eyes were hazy, and that gave him a strange feeling.

The next second, Lin Ke’s body trembled, and it was as if he had just woken up from slumber. Lin Ke immediately noticed Na Ken’s presence, and he instantly panicked. However, the acute pain on his face made it difficult for him to speak.

“Teacher… Na Ken? Why… are you here?” Lin Ke rubbed his befuddled face and looked apprehensively at Na Ken.

“What did you say?” Na Ken stared at Lin Ke in shock. Lin Ke’s reaction was as if he had only noticed his existence at that very moment.

How could that be possible?
