CHAPTER 382: CHAPTER 315: EAST BLOOD RABBIT—DELICIOUS AND TASTY

When Bage said the words "I’m scared" out loud, it was as if a weight had been lifted off him.

Looking at Lu Lin again, Bage no longer had the previous tension, fear, or panic.

He also no longer cared about his dignity, face, or pride.

He was just an eleven-year-old child.

Facing the notorious North Scorching Mountain, it was perfectly normal for his heart to be filled with fear.

"Not bad."

Lu Lin smiled and patted Bage on the back of his head.

"Not bad?"

Bage looked at Lu Lin in disbelief, feeling that Lu Lin’s reaction was somewhat unexpected.

In his understanding, teachers always encourage students to be brave, persistent, and determined. Even when facing invincible enemies and insurmountable challenges, they should charge forward without hesitation.

But for a student like him who confessed to being afraid, Teacher Lu didn’t blame him and even said he was not bad?

"Yes, you’re very good, Bage."

"The reason I only told everyone about the test in North Scorching Mountain after leaving the West Gate is because I knew that upon hearing this news, you wouldn’t have followed me for the training."

"Is North Scorching Mountain terrifying? Of course it is. It’s not just you sprint class students aged eleven or twelve; even I, Teacher Lu, felt terrified after making this decision."

"Of course, after entering North Scorching Mountain, it’s not that I’m not scared, but I have ways to alleviate my fear."

Lu Lin’s voice gently reached out, in the quiet and terrifyingly dark Forest of North Scorching Mountain, his voice seemed to flow into each child’s heart, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease.

Not only those students like Bage who visibly showed fear, but even those who were stubbornly trying to form groups to complete Lu Lin’s tasks calmed down, walked to his side, surrounded him, and listened attentively.

Lu Lin didn’t mind seeing so many people gather around.

The reason he chose this seemingly dangerous test at North Scorching Mountain was to tell the students.

One should always have a sense of reverence.

Power up, and your mindset swells?

Lu Lin certainly hopes these students won’t be killed in future battles because of this issue.

At the same time, he wouldn’t promote some spiritual victory method like other teachers.

In front of truly strong enemies, the spiritual victory method offers no benefits other than allowing you to die faster.

Encounter a problem, solve the problem.

Since most of the kids now had fear in their hearts, Lu Lin decided to solve this problem for them.

And the method to solve this problem was quite simple for Lu Lin.

Method.

"Method?"

Bage tilted his head, expressing the question in every student’s mind present.

North Scorching Mountain is so terrifying, not to mention these children, even some Inner Sect Disciples and Core Disciples at the Main Camp dare not enter.

Lu Lin actually said he has a method?

"Yes, in our future lives, we will face various problems and difficulties. But as long as one observes carefully and diligently summarizes, these problems can be solved with ease."

"For example, when you all hesitated to enter after learning the test location was North Scorching Mountain, I used a provocation."

In the crowd, several students lowered their heads blushing.

"And during our entry into North Scorching Mountain, I could lead everyone for one hour without encountering any danger, thanks to my observation and understanding of the demon beasts surviving in North Scorching Mountain."

So this is Lu Lin’s method?

Observation?

Understanding?

Can truly help him walk freely and safely in North Scorching Mountain?

"Ah——"

At this moment, a shrill scream broke out.

Lu Lin motioned to the students to remain calm, then quickly flew towards the direction of the sound.

"Teacher Lu, help!"

"Teacher Lu, I give up, we all give up, please save Zhang Ye."

At the place of the scream, the cries of other students echoed again.

With urgency in his heart, Lu Lin accelerated his pace.

It was surely those students who considered themselves strong that encountered danger just now.

The source of the sound was quite far away.

Even rushing at full speed, Lu Lin took ten breaths to arrive.

In sight was a student named Zhang Ye, whose right leg was caught in a beast trap, with only his strength reaching Star Dust Seventh Layer preventing it from being snapped off.

The beast trap, designed to catch demon beasts, after all.

"Teacher Lu, is my leg broken?"

With tears on his face, Zhang Ye lifted his head and asked.

His calf was pierced and pinned by the beast trap’s spikes, and with just a little Perception, Lu Lin knew it wasn’t serious.

However, he decided to scare this bold kid a bit.

"Yes, it’s broken. But don’t worry, Sister Sun is kind and loving. Even if your leg is broken, you can still stay in the camp."

"Alas..."

With that, Lu Lin pretended to sigh regretfully and shook his head.

He didn’t realize that with just this sentence, not only did Zhang Ye forget to shed tears, but even the other daring students beside him were scared stiff.

The leg is broken.

At the Star Dust stage, Star Core stage, or Star Universe stage, cultivators can’t generally regenerate lost limbs.

Even if there are such precious medicines, they aren’t something they or their parents can acquire.

The probability of breaking through into the Star Battle Phase is slim, which means Zhang Ye might have to live with a broken leg for the rest of his life.

"Teacher Lu, I really..."

Zhang Ye still wanted to struggle a bit, but Lu Lin waved his hand at him.

"Don’t speak for now, let me open this beast trap for you first."

Lu Lin slightly exerted force with both hands, and with a power of ten million jin, he easily opened the beast trap.

Nearby, students were already prepared. Seeing Lu Lin open the beast trap, they carefully pulled Zhang Ye out.

Bringing a few people back to the newly established temporary camp, many students immediately noticed Zhang Ye’s right leg injury.

"Teacher Lu, how is Zhang Ye, his leg..."

"It’s nothing, just a broken leg."

Lu Lin said as he put Zhang Ye down and found some clean water to carefully clean Zhang Ye’s wound.

From the outside, Zhang Ye’s injury seemed very serious.

There were two rows of puncture wounds on his calf from the spikes of the beast trap, with flesh turned out and bleeding profusely, looking very terrifying.

But Lu Lin knew this was not a big deal at all.

With a flesh wound, using the capability of the Star Dust stage, it would heal by tomorrow morning.

As for the bones, they weren’t damaged at all.

When Lu Lin was prying open the beast trap, he noticed that when the trap clamped down, Zhang Ye’s calf muscle moved it to create a misalignment.

By some miracle, none of the sharp teeth even touched his bones.

After simply treating the wound, Lu Lin took some pre-prepared medicinal powder from the Storage Ring and applied it to Zhang Ye, bandaging the wound, thus completing the treatment.

Turning around, Lu Lin sat back down at his previous position to continue lecturing the students.

"After Zhang Ye’s incident, I believe everyone realizes the danger of North Scorching Mountain, and also sees the importance of careful observation."

The students around him nodded vigorously.

After this event, if anyone dared to argue against Lu Lin’s viewpoint, they would indeed be out of their minds.

It’s a lesson learned at one’s doorstep.

This happened right in front of their eyes; now Zhang Ye was still in a coma from excessive blood loss and shock in a tent that Lu Lin had set up.

Who dares not to believe in the importance of observation.

"Yes, in this dangerous place, apart from being observant and cautious, your mind should also be stocked with enough knowledge."

"For example, this."

Lu Lin said, picking up a round black thing from the ground.

"Does anyone here know what this is?"

Under the light, the students all craned their necks eagerly to look at what Lu Lin held.

But among more than one hundred students, not one recognized it.

Not far away, Gao Shu saw it, and just as he was about to speak, Lu Lin stopped him with a look.

Now is not the time for Teacher Gao’s lessons, so stop trying to steal Lu Lin’s spotlight.

"Teacher Lu, we don’t recognize it. What is that?"

Someone asked curiously.

Lu Lin chuckled and said, "This is the feces of the Eastblood Rabbit. Everyone probably knows what kind of demon beast the Eastblood Rabbit is, right?"

"Yes!"

Over a hundred students answered in unison.

The Eastblood Rabbit is a relatively common demon beast in the Longyuan World. They live in groups, are timid by nature, and are commonly hunted as food by masters training in the wild.

Thinking of this, several students could not help but swallow saliva.

Since Lu Lin had found Eastblood Rabbit droppings, it implied that Eastblood Rabbits had passed through here before.

In other words, they all might get to eat Eastblood Rabbit.

Suddenly, several students’ stomachs couldn’t help but growl audibly.

Since morning, they had followed Lu Lin out of the school to this North Scorching Mountain.

All along the way, they were frightened, and the food they had eaten in the morning had long been digested.

"Teacher Lu, can we catch Eastblood Rabbits?"

"Of course, you can."

Lu Lin replied naturally.

"If you can catch them, that is."

Upon hearing Lu Lin say this, all the students couldn’t help but laugh.

This was their first time genuinely laughing from their hearts since entering the North Scorching Mountain.

Eastblood Rabbits are timid, have low combat power, and aside from being highly reproductive, have virtually no special traits.

The students were mostly at the Star Dust Third Layer and Second Layer cultivation, with some even above the Star Dust Fifth Level.

Handling a group of little Eastblood Rabbits was naturally not a problem.

Seeing their confident expressions, Lu Lin just smiled and didn’t say more.

The students only knew part of the story; the Eastblood Rabbits indeed are at the bottom of the food chain in Longyuan World.

However, they can gain strength when they need to fight back.

When their young are under lethal threat, Eastblood Rabbits would charge forward with blood-red eyes, regardless of death, to retaliate.

It was unknown, with so many students above the Star Dust stage present at a camp occupied by at least thousands of Eastblood Rabbit offspring, how crazy things would get.

I hope these kids can withstand it.

Speak of the devil.

Right as Lu Lin finished speaking and stood aside, a rustling sound came from the underbrush near the temporary camp.

The Eastblood Rabbit herd had returned.
