My name is Han Huizhen, I am your sophomore senior, a Level 36 Wood-type Mage, and the safety officer responsible for your group's safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, if you encounter life-threatening trouble, you must ask me for help. I will intervene; you must never try to be a hero.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn. It is just an assessment; if you fail, you fail. Preserving yourselves is what matters most. Do you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the seriousness in Han Huizhen's tone, the five of them all nodded solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the entrance to the Soul-Crying Secret Realm finally opened under Yan Lanbing's manipulation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive, vortex-shaped portal appeared on the plaza, instantly attracting everyone's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Huizhen led the group and stepped directly into the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the scene before their eyes shattered and reassembled, the sound of dripping water echoed in their ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone raised their eyes, what appeared before them was an endless underground karst cave. Aside from a bit of light filtering through sinkholes in the ceiling, everything in sight was pitch black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's so dark. Where are we supposed to find the Soul-Devouring Demon Beast?\" Ji Lingyu asked, looking toward Han Huizhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think for yourselves. Aside from your personal safety, you must discuss and solve everything else as a group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Han Huizhen pointed to a miniature camera on her chest, signaling that everything at this moment was being recorded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Lingyu drew his long sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, stay close to me. This place isn't easy to walk in; it's very slippery, full of pits and bumps, and there are many stalactites.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin nodded, though he was pondering how to break away from this group. After all, being with Ji Lingyu and the others meant he had to hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Xu Yu volunteered to step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take the lead. My defense is high, so if we encounter any danger, I can hold out for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded, offering no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with a damp, decaying scent that was very unpleasant after a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, what was strange was that they had been in the Soul-Crying Secret Realm for so long, yet they hadn't seen a single demon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Xu Yu, who was walking in front, was very vigilant, but as they walked, he began to feel that something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do I feel... like we've been walking in circles the whole time?\" Xu Yu couldn't help but say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have that feeling too,\" Ji Lingyu nodded as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I go ahead and take a look? I'm fast,\" Lin Wenyu whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too dangerous. According to the logic of domestic horror movies, the one who strays from the group gets killed,\" Ji Lingyu replied, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is possible that we have already fallen into the Soul-Devouring Demon Beast's illusion,\" Ye Lin suddenly spoke up. He had long since sensed that something had been following them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Han Huizhen couldn't help but glance at Ye Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had only just realized that a Soul-Devouring Demon Beast was targeting them; that Ye Lin could react to it was truly beyond her expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was worthy of being the man who survived a month under Professor Shen unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? We're in an illusion? Why didn't I notice anything?\" Ji Lingyu asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's impossible, right? We all got caught at the same time?\" Xu Yu also found it hard to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll know if we verify it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Ling, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. She raised her hand and scattered a handful of powder, which drifted over and landed on Ye Lin and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, what are you doing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Duan Ling's profession, the others were all startled and scrambled to dodge, but Duan Ling's move was too sudden, and some powder inevitably landed on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Ling didn't speak, but stared straight at them. After a moment, she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You show no signs of the poison taking effect, which means we are indeed in an illusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, sister! You're being way too reckless! What if we weren't in an illusion? Wouldn't we have been poisoned to death by you?\" Ji Lingyu questioned, somewhat annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wouldn't kill you. The poison just now would only paralyze the whole body for a few dozen seconds,\" Duan Ling said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You still can't just poison your teammates like that!\" Ji Lingyu retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I wanted to kill you, even with that Han woman here, the four of you wouldn't survive. If you don't believe me, you can try.\" Duan Ling shot a cold glance at Ji Lingyu, who instantly felt a sense of extreme danger, as if he were being watched by a venomous snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ye Lin stepped directly in front of Ji Lingyu and asked with a kindly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then take a guess: before the poison takes effect, how many forbidden spells can I cast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Ling narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing in their depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're all schoolmates, let's value harmony! We're still trapped in this illusion, so let's think about how to break it first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the tension rising and the two sides ready to fight at any moment, Xu Yu hurriedly acted as a peacemaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Ling turned her head away with a cold face, and Ji Lingyu muttered about his bad luck; if he had known Duan Ling was so adept at poisoning her own teammates, he never would have invited her to join the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after calming down, the group began to worry about the illusion before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be fine if the Soul-Devouring Demon Beast just appeared, but this creature was hiding in the dark and refusing to show itself, merely creating illusions to exhaust them, which was very troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Han Huizhen's mouth couldn't help but curl into a beautiful arc. She remembered that when she first entered the Soul-Crying Secret Realm as a freshman, she had encountered this and was trapped for a full half-hour before she managed to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wondered how long this group of freshmen she was leading would take?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about I lead the way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Han Huizhen was curious, Ye Lin suddenly spoke, pointing to his own empty eye sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This illusion that keeps us walking in circles is likely something like a 'ghost wall,' probably confusing us through our vision. As it happens, I don't have vision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Ji Lingyu and the others felt it was feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Xu Yu and Ye Lin swapped positions, and Ye Lin took the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Ye Lin walked a few steps, Ji Lingyu and the others realized something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss! Something's wrong! Why are you walking into the sky!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before them was extremely bizarre; Ye Lin was stepping through the air, walking higher and higher as if he were floating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Walking into the sky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin was also surprised, as he was walking in a straight line based on his own senses; there was no such thing as walking into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin quickly realized what was happening and warned them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't trust your eyes! Your damn eyes are lying to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1284,"2026-06-21T02:52:47.916Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e6192cabb2dd419ec8487683d7f23ba1d4f127f5a65335407988d291f77a09e5","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-176","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-174",847,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-cover.jpg"]
