Hu!
A poisonscale wolf pounced towards a Mage . Although the wolf couldn’t fly, its leap still covered a huge distance . It jumped a hundred meters in one go . The Mage didn’t expect the wolf to jump so far, so he wasn’t able to guard on time . This allowed the wolf to hit the Mage’s protective barrier .
Boom!
The Mage’s barrier fiercely shook, causing his body to fly backwards . While the Mage was pushed back, his barrier shattered as well .
This caused the Mage’s expression to change . One should know that this protective barrier was made using Magic Theory . Although it was only a single-layer formation, it was still very powerful compared to normal barriers . How could such a barrier be destroyed by a poisonscale wolf in one strike?
However, it seems like the strike also exhausted the wolf . As it fell from the air, the wolf looked like a falling leaf as it fluttered to the ground .
The Mage relaxed . But just as he was about to arrange another single-layer barrier, he suddenly felt his back turn cold . He was startled and immediately flew forward .
But it was already too late . As the Mage was flying forward, he felt his neck turn cool, then his arms felt light, then his entire body completely shut down . At this time, the other Mages had yet to notice this, but Zhao Hai was able to see everything . A poisonous ironthread serpent just attacked . After tying down the Mage’s neck, the snake bit off one arm before proceeding to take the Mage’s life .

Not long after the Mage died, the snake wrapped around his neck tighter, slammed its body on the ground and then flung the body towards the darkness . At the same time, the snake used the momentum from throwing the Mage’s body in order to retreat and find an opportunity to attack another Mage .
Before the first Mage’s body hit the dark floor of the cave, a malicious ghost suddenly charged forward and slowly possessed the Mage’s body . The ‘Mage’ then opened his eyes . However, the eyes were completely black . Also, his body was filled with strong killing aura .
The possessed Mage fluttered back into the light magic . But as he entered the range of the light magic, he began to emit black gas . His eyes also showed a painful expression . However, he didn’t make any noise . Instead, he continued to get close to another Mage . This Mage turned out to be the Old Light Mage .
Zhao Hai calmly looked as all of these happened . After the poisonous ironthread serpent flung the Mage towards the darkness, Zhao Hai knew that the Mage was already dead . However, instead of being transformed into an Undead like he expected, the malicious ghost actually possessed the Mage’s body .
Back on Earth, it was well-known that ghosts were able to possess a body . However, Zhao Hai didn’t see any ghosts in the Ark Continent nor the Underworld that could do so . He didn’t expect to see this ability here .
The possessed ghost was already beside the Old Mage . Although the Mages from the Adam Academy weren’t united, they weren’t stupid . They were aware that the Old Mage was the only Light element Mage among them . If the Old Mage died, then they would have a very difficult time fending off the ghosts and beasts .
Because of this, the Mages grouped up with the Old Mage being in the center .
But since these Mages weren’t able to see the action made by the poisonous ironthread serpent, they didn’t have any suspicion towards the possessed Mage . This allowed the possessed Mage to get close to the Old Mage without any difficulties .

The possessed Mage also pretended to hold off the assaulting poisonscale wolves . At the same time, he went closer and closer towards the Old Mage . Before long, the malicious ghost was already five meters away from the Old Mage .
Although the Old Mage noted this action, he didn’t attack the malicious ghost . The Old Mage’s magic now had reduced range . Also, the other Mages didn’t use light magic from Magic Theory, instead they used lower realm magic .
Zhao Hai knew that the old Mage’s spiritual force was beginning to be exhausted . It must be said that the Old Mage’s spiritual force shouldn’t have been exhausted this soon . However, the Old Mage still wasn’t familiar with Magic Theory, this caused him to consume more spiritual force than usual .
Another reason for this consumption might be the Mages’ underestimation of the Undead . These Mages had also met Undead in their own lower realms, so they didn’t take the Undead too seriously . Because of this, they attacked the Undead without thinking . As a result, they consumed their spiritual force too quickly before even meeting a malicious ghost .
While the Old Mage was distracted, the possessed Mage suddenly charged towards him . Then the possessed Mage stretched his hands out . These hands didn’t cast any magic, instead it became long black claws that looked very menacing .
The Old Mage wasn’t on guard against this surprise attack . When he discovered the attack, it was already too late . Before the Old Mage could react, the ghost’s claws had already ripped a whole on the Old Mage’s throat .
The Old Mage’s throat gave out a horrifying sound as he looked at the malicious ghost in horror . It didn’t take long before the Old Mage lost his strength . With nobody left to maintain it, the light magic began to vanish .
With the Old Mage dead and the powerful light element magic gone, the other malicious ghosts began to charge towards the other Mages . The poisonscale wolves and the poisonous ironthread serpents also pounced towards the remaining four Mages .
The four Mages panicked, they didn’t expect the Old Mage to die just like that . They were confident that as long as the Old Mage lived, even if they couldn’t kill the malicious ghosts, they could still escape . Now that the Old Mage was dead, their opportunity to escape was gone .
While the four Mages were still flustered, the ghosts and the beasts seized the opportunity as their roared and charged over . With the cooperation between the ghosts and the beasts, the four Mages were killed in less than ten minutes .
After the remaining Mages died, the other malicious ghosts proceeded to possess their bodies . At the same time, the beasts hid themselves in the darkness . This was because they could feel other people entering the area .
This time, the team that entered were the Warriors from Wild Academy . Each one of them were now carrying lamps as they flew forward .
Zhao Hai looked at the four Warriors and then sighed, “If they came a few minutes earlier, they might have been able to unite with the Mages . Even if they can’t kill the ghosts, it wouldn’t be a problem for them to escape . But now, they are already too late . ” Laura and the other nodded . Then Laura turned to Zhao hai and said, “Brother Hai, will you make a move now?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Not immediately . If I do, then wouldn’t I just be telling them that I have been watching all this time? At the very least, they should get injured before I make a move . ”
Laura nodded, then didn’t say anything else . The experience that Laura and the others gained wasn’t any less than Zhao Hai’s . They also had their own ideas regarding human nature . And as they grew together with Zhao Hai, they were wise enough to know that they didn’t need to be polite to their enemies .
Before long, the Warriors of the Wild Academy met with the malicious ghosts . Although the ghosts had completed their possession, they didn’t use any of the Mages’ magic . And with the Warriors being extremely cautious, the group of dark creatures weren’t given any chances to sneak attack . The only thing they could do now was to attack head-on .
The four Warriors had impeccable cooperation . Naturally, this was taught to them by their academy . Because of this, they were able to hold on amidst the attacks of the seven ghosts and 12 beasts .
However, the faces of the Warriors were quite ugly . They had just discovered that the Mages were all dead . Also, there weren’t four or five malicious ghosts, instead there were seven . And of the seven, six of them possessed the Mages . Not only that, there were also 12 powerful beasts . They couldn’t win against this much enemies, the only choice they have was to retreat .
One of the four Warriors suddenly said, “Wu Quan, Lan Jiang, you two block them while me and Fei Ni attack them with our sword qi . We’ll try killing two of them at a time as we retreat . The situation here is much worse than what Instructor told us . We aren’t their opponents . ”
The three other Warriors nodded . After that, two of them began to take their weapons out and blocked the ghosts and the beasts . Meanwhile, the other two also took their weapons out as they readied themselves to launch their attack .
The latter two’s aura got stronger and stronger as the swords in their hands shone . Then the two gave a shout as they waved their sword to cut the nearby poisonscale wolves .
The two poisonscale wolves just pounced . With their body still in mid-air, the wolves were unable to dodge . The sword qi slashed through the wolves as though they were paper . The wolves were immediately cut in half . They gave a pitiful sound as they hit the ground, their internal organs spewing out of their bodies . They only twitched for a few moments before they became motionless .
This wasn’t the end, the Warriors wielded their swords once more as they killed another two poisonscale wolves, two malicious ghosts, and one poisonous ironthread serpent .
This attack caused the remaining malicious ghosts and beasts to be afraid . The dark creatures stopped their attack before retreating to the dark, plunging the cave into silence once more .
