The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1189 - 355: Trial Upon the Snowfield (Part 2)

Having obtained the "ticket" for the examination, the four followed the crowd and the guidance of the light sphere, traversing the camp to arrive at an immeasurably vast snowfield.

When they reached the destination, the scene before them made Finic and the others gasp in awe.

Thousands of young individuals from every corner of Aus Continent had already densely gathered on this snowfield!

Everyone harbored the same tense and excited emotions, awaiting the commencement of the examination that would decide their fate!

"So many people..." Ira's face turned slightly pale, her right hand clasped tightly over her chest, feeling a chill.

She initially thought those fellows at the Traveler Camp were all there was, but she didn't expect the real "early birds" had already been waiting here.

Barrett also swallowed hard, then nervously glanced at Finic.

"What should we do next? Are we staying here for three days... or going back first?"

As the leader of the two young adventurers, Finic frowned in thought for a moment before gritting his teeth to make a hard decision.

"Let's camp here!"

In three days, there might be even more people here, so it's wiser to find a good spot while there are fewer people around now.

It's said that the written test of the Academic State is not merely about answering questions; during the last exam, many people lost without even seeing a single question.

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Mr. Colin.

Luo Yan didn't really mind, as he could pass the time through meditation, and three days would fly by in the blink of an eye for him.

"No rush, after all, it's just three days, let's wait."

Just at this moment, a luxurious carriage stopped by the roadside, with the driver Sarah cloaked in black, nodding slightly towards him.

Luo Yan nodded back, then stepped into the undoubtedly expensive carriage amid the envious gazes of other young men and women.

"Unbelievable... There's not a bit of snow on the carriage." Barrett suddenly noticed something unusual and couldn't resist exclaiming.

"What do you expect? The wood used for that carriage is more expensive than all your magic equipment combined," Finic said softly, "This Mr. Colin's identity is not simple, but since he doesn't plan to tell us, it's better not to pry... come help, Ira as well, let's set up the tent first before it starts snowing."

"Alright." Barrett nodded nervously and quickly followed Finic towards the nearby woods.

He's not dumb; he already noticed that Mr. Colin's identity is not simple.

It's just not clear which prominent family in the Rhode Kingdom he belongs to or whether he's from outside the Kingdom, from the Imperial regions.

...

The three-day wait was long and tormenting, with Leo gone, the three young adventurers couldn't catch any wild rabbits from the snowfield and had to make do with dry bread.

Ira hesitated more than once about seeking help from Mr. Colin, but recalling the cold as frost beautiful female guard, she eventually dismissed this unrealistic thought.

As time passed, more and more seekers of knowledge arrived from all directions, turning the snowfield at the borders into a black ocean composed of tents and crowd.

Finic's decision proved wise.

Although the Wilderness was vast, not every spot was suitable for camping. Latecomers either had to shamelessly squeeze with others or stand very far away.

Some people approached Luo Yan's carriage, attempting to find a place of shelter, but Sarah's icy gaze deterred them.

The air was filled with tense, oppressive silence, as tens of thousands of young people from Aus Continent gathered here. No one spoke loudly, only the howling wind and snow over the prairie, and the silent heartbeat created by shared excitement and anxiety.

Finally, on the third morning, as the endurance and patience of all were about to be exhausted, a commotion came from the horizon.

It began with a sharp cry piercing the silence of the snowfield.

Everyone instinctively lifted their heads to see dozens of black dots appearing from the eastern clouds, descending at an astonishing pace.

"It's Griffins!!" A young person screamed as his voice was followed by rising cries of shock.

"Not only Griffins... are those Giant Dragons!?"

Loosely reading, Luo Yan slightly lifted his eyelids, glanced at the sky outside the window, then diverted his gaze.

These inexperienced youngsters evidently never seen real Giant Dragons; those pointy-nosed, bat-like creatures were clearly Winged Dragons.

Their bloodline disparity is akin to that between Zeta people and the Armored Dragon Clan, entirely different species despite their resemblance.

Amid the bewildered gazes of crowd, a cavalry squad formed by dozens of majestic Griffins and Winged Dragons swooped down like swords!

They landed in designated areas around the snowfield, claws striking the ground, unleashing huge waves of snow!

On the back of each giant beast sat a mage clad in splendid, colorful Mage Robes, holding flags representing their Mage Tower.

The awe-inspiring spectacle caused an eruption of gasps among the young ones on the snowfield, akin to those cheering in the Royal Arena of the Holy City.

However, this was merely the beginning!

The ground gradually trembled, initially like distant thunder, then increasingly clear and heavy!
