Chapter 263: Students and the Spider Web

"What is happening in the Terror Field? It wasn't like this before!"

Bald Andrew looked steady as an old dog on the surface, but his heart was a bit panicked.

He used the 【Message Spell】 to speak with Wilson.

"Didn't you see the news in the Academy Newspaper? 'All rituals or activities entering the Terror Field are prohibited. Please wait patiently for reopening'."

Glasses Wilson spoke lightly, reciting the content from the newspaper.

"How would I know! After returning from the Open-Air Maze, I promoted to the Seventh Tier!"

"Who isn't? Don't use your ignorance as an excuse; it makes you look stupid, you know, Baldy."

"Don't call me Baldy. What's the situation now? It's so chaotic here; where can we find a place to get busy with the three junior female students behind us?"

Bald Andrew looked frantic.

Promoting to the Seventh Tier took three or four months; he had been pent up for a long time.

If not for maintaining the last shred of restraint, he would have just executed these few junior girls right here and now.

Anyway, since they were willing to come over, they had such Ji De Xiang Fa in mind anyway.

Wilson poked his glasses.

"I foresaw this situation long ago, so I managed to get a magic ring: 【Leo's Secluded Cottage】."

Andrew was surprised: "【Leo's Secluded Cottage】? Is that the spell that creates a hemispherical or spherical protective area, isolating the caster and their companions from the outside world?"

"Exactly. I spent quite a bit of money to have a friend buy it in the Market District of the Magic Control Union. I heard it's a privately made product leaked from the Heavenly Court Flower Country. Although its quality isn't as good as the genuine version, it's more than sufficient."

"Not bad, Glasses! I knew you were a bit more reliable than me, just a tiny bit."

"Shut up. Let me tell you, I left many detection spells along the way. Just now, a reaction came through: two outsiders just entered the Terror Field, one male and one female. Didn't you say the three girls couldn't be evenly distributed? Huh? 【High-Level Invisibility】? No fear! I have detection for invisibility. We'll go find them later; kill the male and add the female to our group."

Andrew smiled: "You're so cruel, I love it!"

"Less idle talk. Go find pool water for the three junior female students. Once we find it, we'll make our move!"

"Why not make a move immediately? Why must we find pool water?"

"We have professional ethics, okay! If others find out we only mess with girls and don't help, who will be willing to come out with us to earn study points or go on outings in the future? Do you understand what sustainable development means? What's wrong with you? After promoting to the Seventh Tier, why isn't your brain working anymore?"

"My research topic is related to psychic energy. During this promotion, I incorporated a bit of my own Ji De Xiang Fa. Because of this, my hair follicles burned out another batch, and perhaps, perhaps it has also caused some impact on my thinking..."

Meanwhile.

Directly in front of the hill where Rod and Sharon were previously located, that is, the spider web ruins.

Inside one of the hidden, pitch-black underground caves.

Low voices of conversation were heard.

Going deeper inside, one could see a space of about fifty or sixty square meters.

Seven or eight people with jet-black skin sat around together.

Their ears were sharp and long, their features exquisite, and their silver or copper-colored long hair was tied with needles and woven bands made of precious metals.

Dark Elves!

Beside where they sat, there was a bed made of weeds and withered wood branches, covered with various liquid stains, and the air was filled with a faint fishy smell.

Plus, these seven or eight Dark Elves included both men and women, and none of them were wearing clothes.

It was obvious that they had just finished a group sex activity very characteristic of the Dark Elf race.

However, they showed no tender embraces or emotional attachment whatsoever.

In the eyes of Dark Elves, group sex was just a daily activity, no different from eating and drinking water.

Who would become attached to someone just because they drank water with them?

"I will repeat it once more."

Among those sitting around, the tallest female Dark Elf spoke.

Her movements were flamboyant and domineering, clearly in a leadership position.

Dark Elves are inherently a matriarchal society. Plus, after living underground for a long time, for some reason, females are generally slightly larger than males, thus forming a structure where women are superior and men are inferior.

"This operation has only one point: completely destroy the Diseased Botanical Garden and drive that group of disgusting creatures out of the Terror Field. This is the last chance my lord Ross has given us. No matter what, no matter the cost, we must achieve this goal. Otherwise... I assume no one among us sitting here would be willing to serve demons like those spineless cowards, right?"

The surrounding crowd let out sneers and anger.

"Never!"

"A group of demons' lackeys who became warlocks; what's so special about them?"

"To scrape by, they are willing to sell their souls and ally with demons; this is simply a disgrace to the Dark Elves!"

"Once we return to the Real Dimension, I will kill that group of bastards immediately."

Obviously.

The Dark Elves here were different from those in Coral Bay who served demons.

Ultimately, long ago, the ancestors of the Dark Elves had a deep grudge against demons. Even after being driven underground due to the internal chaos of the Elves, many Dark Elves still held hatred towards demons.

This is a characteristic of long-lived races; they retain emotions and experiences for a very long time, unable to change for a long period.

Of course, there are also those who break through themselves.

But whether it is an upward breakthrough or a downward breakthrough is hard to say.

After all, that batch of Dark Elves in Coral Bay were willing to be slaves and servants, even directly offering up their souls.

This is also the reason why this current batch of Dark Elves look down on them so much.

The female leader was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

"My lord Ross has given us this chance. We must not only seize it but also prove our loyalty and courage through actual actions!"

She used the 【Suggestion Spell】 to assist.

Therefore, to others, her words sounded impassioned, echoing in their ears like Lei Ting thunder.

"Excellent! We must let my lord Ross see our loyalty!"

"Once the deed is done, a new home will be born!"

"We shall return to the surface! Back under the sunlight once more!"

The crowd echoed their agreement one after another, faces aglow with fervor.

As if success were already within reach at this very moment.

Creak—

The wooden door of the small room was pushed open.

A slightly petite dark elf girl poked half her body in.

"My lords, it is time to eat."

The female leader glanced at her impassioned colleagues, then at the time.

Still early.

Let's have one more silver party — eat while we hold it.

"Bring it all in."

"Understood."

The girl replied respectfully.

She turned to fetch the meal, and in a short while returned carrying a tray wider than her shoulders.

It was laden with all manner of bowls, plates, and utensils — no light weight.

So the girl's face flushed red with strain, and in an odd stooped posture she hauled the tray into the small room with great effort.

Much like a very tall person passing through a doorframe that is too low — but judging from the girl's upper body, she was at most a girl of about ten, and would never grow much taller.

And once she had fully entered the room, the reason would become clear:

This was a stitched-together creature whose upper half was a dark elf, while her lower half was connected to the body of an enormous spider.
