104 Falling at the End

The protective Forbidden Spell on his body did not disappear. Fang Ping did not feel any pain. He quickly looked around. There was a golden circle of light. Not far away, outside the circle of light was a huge black snake.

Entered the Sanctuary? He was safe!

Fang Ping’s pupils dilated. He was overjoyed. He had actually escaped!

But how did he escape?

Only then did Fang Ping see an inconspicuous figure beside the Shadow Demon Snake. There were two huge boxing gloves on its arms.

Direct characteristics.

Ivan.

Fang Ping heaved a sigh of relief. Ivan had arrived at the right time.

After being punched, the Shadow Demon Snake twisted backward to stabilize its body. It looked at Ivan, then turned its head to look at Fang Ping in the Sanctuary.

The black patterns on its body slowly flowed, and its body became fainter and fainter as it slowly disappeared from sight.

“Ivan, he’s there!” Fang Ping shouted at Ivan.

With Fang Ping’s special characteristics, the Shadow Demon Snake could forget about escaping even if it became invisible, just like last time.

However, Ivan shook his head and walked over.

“Legendary Shadow Demon Snake. Its characteristics are Stealth, Penetration, and Heavy Armor. It has Mage and Ranger skills. It can’t be killed.”

“Legendary-level!” Hearing Ivan’s words, Fang Ping sucked in a breath of cold air. He was actually facing a Magical Beast of the same level as Ivan.

Ivan walked over. “Why did you encounter the Shadow Demon Snake again? This thing is as rare as being struck by lightning. Do you have something that attracts them?”

Fang Ping was also very puzzled. He shook his head and said, “I’m just a working student. I don’t have anything valuable.”

“Maybe it was a coincidence. You’re lucky. If I had arrived a few seconds later and the Shadow Demon Snake disappeared, no one would have been able to save you.”

Fang Ping quickly bowed to Ivan. “Thank you, Ivan.”

Ivan waved his hand and pointed not far away. “I’ve sent your roommate over. Keep Lingling’s matter a secret for now.”

“Alright.” Fang Ping nodded. Following Ivan’s finger was the familiar Demonic Flame Chimera. Beside it was a small figure.

His roommate, Andre, had finally arrived.

Andre was also walking over. Fang Ping sized him up. He looked no different from before. He should have fully recovered.

The mutation only took one night, but the treatment took almost a month. This effect was really domineering.

Fang Ping was about to walk toward Andre when Ivan stopped him.

“Fang Ping, you have the Magic Armor Forbidden Spell on you.”

Fang Ping stopped in his tracks. The three small bluish-purple shields around him were still spinning slowly.

“Is this the effect of the medicine, or are you already a Class 2?” Ivan looked into Fang Ping’s eyes.

Fang Ping decided to tell the truth. “I’m a Class 2 Forbidden Spellcaster now.”

“Working student, promoted to a Class 2 Professional in less than two months.”

Fang Ping bowed again. “My characteristics are quite special.”

“It looks like it’s really special. A natural Awakened?”

“It’s not.”

Andre also walked over. “Fang Ping, are you alright?”

“He’s fine. He’s not dead.”

Not long after, the Elite Team returned. Teacher Elsa stood at the front of the team, next to a small group of Knights from the Lord’s Guard, led by James.

“Victory Charge James. Long time no see.”

James sped up and stopped not far away. He dismounted and bowed to Ivan.

“Ivan, you’re joking. Just call me James.”

“You’re worthy of the title. Class 5 isn’t far, right?”

“I just reached the threshold of Class 5.”

“Roland is really lucky to have a talent like you working for him.”

“Gotta thank Grand Duke Roland for taking such good care of me too.”

Fang Ping and Andre stood at the side, listening to Ivan and James’ conversation.

Fang Ping had heard the name Grand Duke Roland before. He was one of the five Dukes, a supporter of the abolition of nobles, the former ruler of Elf City, William’s grandfather.

“You two, get back in line,” Ivan said.

They should be discussing something.

“Yes.” Fang Ping and Andre bowed to Ivan and walked toward the Elite Team that was walking toward them.

The sky was getting darker, and the Sanctuary on the ground was slowly fading. He glanced at Andre beside him.

He smiled and held his head high. He looked at the Elite Team and walked over confidently.

Fang Ping looked at him and felt that Andre was the protagonist of the Elite Team.

He was diligent, brave, optimistic, confident, and had ideas. He came from an ordinary background, but he was powerful. He was tall and had a hint of shyness. Moreover, his values were upright. He looked at his strength and hard work to obtain resources and did not walk the crooked path.

If Andre could achieve something in the future, Fang Ping believed that his autobiography would definitely be a good novel.

“Guys, I’m back!”

Elsa said indifferently, “Return to the team.”

When Andre walked into the group, he attracted the attention of many people. When Fang Ping walked into the group, more people looked over.

Andre walked in the front row, while Fang Ping walked to the end of the line. Qing Niao quickly leaned over. “Fang Ping, are you alright?”

Fang Ping nodded. “I’m fine. Fortunately, Ivan came in time. I was eaten by the Shadow Demon Snake and spat out by Ivan with a punch. If he had been a little later and it really eaten me, I would have been dead. That was a Legendary grade Shadow Demon Snake just now.”

Qing Niao was also shocked. “Legendary-level, Fang Ping, you’re really lucky. If you find out next time, don’t care so much. Run first.

“Let me tell you, if it weren’t for the fact that the patrolling guard of the Lord’s Guard was a Forbidden Spellcaster and immediately used Sanctuary on you, and Ivan happened to come and find you according to the location of the Sanctuary, otherwise, you’d…”

Qing Niao shook his head. “You’re really lucky, but don’t gamble like this. One mistake and you’ll be gone.”

“Yes.” Fang Ping was a little helpless. He did not want to either. Who knew that all of you would run so fast? In an instant, he was left behind.

Initially, Fang Ping had thought that since it was a group mission, there was no need to escape, so he did not buy any medicine to accelerate his speed. Now that he knew, he had to buy more things. It was better to be prepared.

“Fang Ping, how’s Andre?”

“Andre, he’s in good condition. There’s nothing unusual about his appearance. He should be fine.”

“That’s good.”

When he returned to the camp where he had just rested, the conifer tree was lying on the ground, and his backpack was scattered. Everything was the same as when he left.

The Demon Flame Chimera descended from the sky, folded its wings, and sat on the empty space beside it.

With it around, he felt much more at ease.

The team dispersed and the rest left to do their things. Andre stood where he was while Fang Ping and Qing Niao walked toward him.

“Andre! You’ve finally recovered!”

“Yes, did anything happen along the way?”

“So many things have happened. Let’s sit and talk.” Qing Niao pulled Andre and walked towards the conifer tree.

The backpack was placed on the ground, and there were four or five fist-sized coniferous fruits thrown beside it. Qing Niao picked them up and gestured to Andre. “Let’s eat dinner first. We’ll talk while eating. I heard that the coniferous fruits are quite delicious.”

“Good!”

Fang Ping leaned over to take a look. The coniferous fruit did not look like a pinecone. Instead, it looked like a large chestnut. After cracking it open, there was white pulp inside.

Qing Niao took a bite and nodded. “It’s not bad to eat it directly. It’s crispy and a little sweet, but it’s a little raw. I wonder how it will taste after being roasted.”
