Chapter 498 Practical Course, Heading to the Abyss
On this day, everyone came to the classroom early, waiting for Professor Hu Bofeng's arrangement.
"Li Qingzhou, where did you go last week?" Zhou Ziqi asked when he saw Li Qingzhou.
Li Qingzhou didn't come to school or class for a week.
"Something happened." Li Qingzhou smiled. He was trapped in Yunmeng Mountain last week, fighting wits and courage with Luo Hongyuan and others from Ningyuan Chamber of Commerce. It was not until the day before yesterday that he broke through and returned to Linyuan City.
Linyuan University has a free academic style and is not particularly strict on students' course attendance. Li Qingzhou's absence from class for a week did not have much impact.
Besides, before going to Yunmeng Mountain, Li Qingzhou had greeted his class teacher Zhu Yifei, saying that his pet beast would be promoted to the platinum level recently and would be away from school for a while.
So Zhu Yifei didn't care when Li Qingzhou didn't come to school.
"You disappear for a few days at any time, which makes us all a little worried." Chen Xingyu said with a little concern.
During this semester, Li Qingzhou often disappeared for a few days, not in school or attending classes, and they didn't know what he was doing.
"It should be preparing for the evolution of your pet!" Long Ze guessed.
He knew the process of evolving a gold-level pet into a platinum-level pet. The elders in the family, their dragons upgraded to the platinum level, need to go to a specific environment, take specific evolution potions and the spring water of molting to complete the evolution.
This evolution process takes a long or short time, the shortest may be two or three days, and the longest may be several months, so he can understand that Li Qingzhou didn't come to school.
"What level is your pet now?" Yang Ruxue asked curiously.
When selecting the list of participants for the national competition last time, Li Qingzhou still only had two pets that reached the platinum level. Now that he has disappeared for a while, it is estimated that his strength will increase again.
"Ping An has also reached the platinum level. I now have three platinum-level pets." Li Qingzhou did not hide it.
"Wow, so amazing!" Chen Xingyu exclaimed.
They didn't even have a platinum-level pet, but Li Qingzhou already had three. His strength was enough to crush them. There was a world of difference between the gold level and the platinum level. At the gold level, pets were still in the category of normal creatures, but once they entered the platinum level, they would embark on the path of extraordinary evolution and become extraordinary creatures.
"That's great. When will my pet reach the platinum level?" Chen Xingyu said with a slightly melancholy look, holding her head with her hand.
He knew the difficulty of pets evolving to the platinum level. There were only a few people in their southern Xinjiang Miao ethnic group who had platinum-level pets.
"As long as you train hard, your pet will definitely reach the platinum level." Li Qingzhou encouraged.
While they were chatting, Professor Hu Bofeng walked in. There seemed to be a few more silver hairs on his head, but he was still energetic and upright. His temperament didn't look like an old man in his 60s at all.
"Students, please be quiet!" Professor Hu Bofeng's voice rang in the classroom.
The noisy classroom immediately quieted down.
"I am very happy to lead you to carry out practical courses. This semester's practical course is led by me to the Black Forest near the abyss for exploration. Our exploration tasks mainly include three tasks: one is to obtain samples of several plants and bring them back to school for research; the second is to obtain some materials for pets; and the third is to observe the abyss."
"My teaching assistant will explain the specific content to you in detail."
"Before carrying out the practical course, I first want to emphasize a few points to everyone. In the practical course, all students must obey my arrangements and are strictly prohibited from acting without authorization. The abyss is very dangerous and is not allowed to approach the abyss. You can only observe within the specified range; and anything in the practical course needs to be reported to me in advance and done after permission is obtained. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
The students below answered in unison, and they were all excited.
The abyss is the biggest secret of the world and the most mysterious thing in the world. No one has been able to explore it clearly so far.
Humans know very little about the abyss.
The abyss is synonymous with mysterious, powerful, and weird.
Most of the students at Linyuan University have a strong interest in the abyss. They want to explore the abyss and understand the secrets of the abyss. Now that they can go to the abyss up close, they are of course happy and excited.
Professor Hu Bofeng gave a few more instructions, and then he set off with the students.
They took a bus specially arranged by the school to the Black Forest.
The Black Forest is located around the abyss, and it is dark all year round, with no sunlight.
In the Black Forest, the abyss can be seen from afar, a huge gully that stretches across the surface, with unknown depth and width.
Li Qingzhou flipped through the course introduction manual given by the teaching assistant, and the first picture on it was a photo of the abyss.
It was taken from a distance, and only a dark, foggy gully in the middle could be photographed, and the actual situation inside could not be seen.
"What is our mission?" Yang Ruxue came to Li Qingzhou's side and checked the tasks in the mission manual.
The course lasts for seven days, with three tasks. As long as you complete any one of them, you can successfully get the credits for this course.
"Let me see."
Chen Xingyu also leaned over.
"The first task is to obtain specimens of three plants, namely Dark Blood Flower, Wind Pattern Leaf, and Shadow Fruit." Li Qingzhou looked at the words on the task manual and spoke aloud.
"I haven't heard of these three plants!" Chen Xingyu scratched his head.
Below the task, there are photos of the materials to help students distinguish them.
"The second task is to obtain materials from two kinds of beasts. The first beast is called Rakshasa Ghost, and we need the horns on the head of Rakshasa Ghost; the second beast is Hidden Snake Demon, and we need its shed snake skin."
Chen Xingyu said.
Li Qingzhou has seen Rakshasa Ghost before. In the battle between Tianze Martial Arts Hall and Hongtu Martial Arts Hall, he encountered Rakshasa Ghost and defeated him. Rakshasa Ghost's strength is also very strong in the gold level. It is not easy to capture him and get the horns on his head.
Another beast, Hidden Snake Demon, is a magical snake that is extremely good at camouflage. The skin on its body can change its color according to the environment. It is a snake beast unique to the Black Forest.
"These two beasts don't look easy to find and kill." Zhou Ziqi frowned slightly.
The Rakshasa ghosts and hidden snake demons in the Black Forest are generally of the Gold Rank. How easy is it to kill a Gold Rank beast?
Moreover, the Black Forest is close to the Abyss. The beasts in the Black Forest will more or less mutate. The breath of the Abyss makes them even more strange and unpredictable. You may see that he is only Gold Rank, but because of the pollution of the Abyss, he mutates and his strength may be infinitely close to Platinum Rank.
Li Qingzhou turned to the third task again.
The third task is just one sentence, Observe the Abyss.
It is required to observe the Abyss within a safe range, and write an observation diary and observation results based on your own observations. If it is approved by Professor Hu Bofeng, it can also be used as evidence of completion and obtain credits.
