CHAPTER 380: CHAPTER 314: TEACHER LU, I’M SCARED

North Scorching Mountain is not just one mountain.

It is a vast mountain range filled with numerous demonic beasts and poisonous insects.

After Sun Xiaorui decided to establish her base camp here, she even sent her disciples to set up traps within.

Over the years, North Scorching Mountain has become a place that turns everyone’s face pale with fear.

Neither the subordinates of rival direct disciples nor her own disciples dare to enter lightly.

It’s said that at the beginning, some spies from other direct disciples tried to sneak into Sun Xiaorui’s base camp from this place, resulting in a team of over thirty entering, but only three coming out in the end.

Two of those three, even though they made it out, eventually died from severe injuries and poisoning, and the one who survived went insane.

In the Battlefield Secret Realm, although death only requires another month of training to re-enter.

But the terrifying experiences in North Scorching Mountain have deterred anyone from daring to enter again.

Lu Lin chose this mountain range, which everyone talks about in fear, as the trial location.

"Lu, Teacher Lu, the test location you’ve chosen for us, it can’t be in North Scorching Mountain, can it?"

A student asked, their face pale.

If they had known earlier that Lu Lin chose this place, there would be no need for the test at all.

It would have been better to just go back and listen to Lu Lin’s lectures carefully.

"Hmm, is there a problem?"

Lu Lin said with an indifferent look.

At this point, not only the students but even Gao Shu, Zhou Chang, and the ten teaching assistants turned pale.

This is North Scorching Mountain, Lu Lin, are you really reckless or ignorant?

Don’t you know that this place is filled with dangers, poisonous insects, fierce beasts, man-eating plants, and traps everywhere?

Are you leading the students here for testing or bringing everyone to their deaths?

Tang Yan, not far from Lu Lin, quickly ran to his side, trying to explain the terrors of North Scorching Mountain, but Lu Lin showed no reaction after listening.

His expression unchanged, his face calm.

He happened to hear about this place when he was eating in the canteen yesterday, but to Lu Lin, the more dangerous the place, the better.

Aren’t these students all proudly calling themselves Sons of Heaven, thinking my boss is the best?

If that’s the case, then Lu Lin will let them have a good look around.

Even if Heaven is truly second, those ranked first are not something these students with eyes on top of their heads can take.

"No worries, just follow me."

Lu Lin confidently took the lead into the mountain range.

After a few steps, he realized no one was following, so he turned around and smiled at the students.

"What?"

"Scared?"

The students, seeing Lu Lin’s provoking look, were suddenly fired up.

"Scared? We’re not scared at all. Here, even if we die, we just wait a month and we can come back, so what’s there to be scared of."

"Exactly, Teacher Lu, I think this North Scorching Mountain is too simple. I was playing around here when I was six."

"Teacher Lu, I was hunting here with my dad when I was four. See this wolf fang hanging around my neck? It’s from a wild wolf I killed with my bare hands back then."

Listening to these little guys boasting, the smile on Lu Lin’s face grew wider.

"Alright, since you’re all regulars of North Scorching Mountain, please lead Teacher Lu to admire the scenery here."

After saying this, Lu Lin turned around and continued walking forward.

He didn’t seem to care whether those students would follow or not.

The students at the front, upon seeing Lu Lin like this, exchanged glances with each other. Despite still being scared inside, they took steps to catch up with Lu Lin.

The ones at the back, seeing the ones in front going in, naturally didn’t worry anymore.

If they really encountered any danger, those at the back would have a better chance of escaping.

The two deputy class teachers, Gao Shu and Zhou Chang, looked at each other, both shaking their heads helplessly.

Lu Lin went in.

The students went in too.

There’s no reason for them, as Star Core Realm Inner Sect disciples, not to dare to go in.

But, this is North Scorching Mountain.

With a sigh, the two also entered the forest.

In North Scorching Mountain, the jungle was dense. Upon entering, one could still see patches of sunlight shining on the ground, but the deeper inside, the smaller the area covered by sunlight.

The vast stretches of sunlight turned into beams of light.

Going further in, everyone walking in the forest felt as if it was night. Looking up, they could see spots of light, but looking down, they could only move forward by following Lu Lin under the faint light.

It was unclear whether it was their good luck or something else, but after walking with Lu Lin for half an hour, none of the hundred-plus people in the team had suffered any harm.

They didn’t encounter any traps or mechanisms.

No poisonous insects or fierce beasts appeared either.

These youths, just eleven or twelve years old, slowly let go of their inner vigilance and tension.

This notorious North Scorching Mountain doesn’t seem so scary after all.

Not just them, even the deputy class teachers and more than ten teaching assistants accompanying them found it unbelievable.

This is not scientific.

The poisonous insects and fierce beasts of North Scorching Mountain aside, there are countless traps and mechanisms inside.

These traps and mechanisms were not only set up by Sun Xiaorui’s disciples but also by numerous spies from other forces trying to sneak into the base camp through North Scorching Mountain.
