Chapter 2194: Identifying Demon Creatures through their Feces, Part One

A female student who seemed a little slow pointed at Mo Fan and asked, “Huh? Aren’t you the lecturer who teaches magic theory? I even went to your first class. Why are you a security guard now?”

The young woman was quite popular, as a few handsome young men were following her around. They were obviously using this trip as a chance to get close to her.

Mo Fan smiled awkwardly. What was wrong with the students of this school? Did they not have the slightest EQ? Couldn’t they be more respectful to their teachers?

“I’ve always looked forward to visiting the Andes Mountains. My colleagues happen to be holding the excursion, so I decided to tag along,” Mo Fan said. There was no way he would tell the student he had only tagged along to save two hundred gold!

The security guards were made up of people like Miyamoto Shin, other personnel of the school, or teachers with lower positions. As the guest lecturers were advanced teachers or professors. It was rare to see a professor looking after the students’ safety!

“Oh, be careful, remember to hide if anything happens. If there aren’t any security guards around, you can stick close to me. I might be petite, but I’m a strong Mage!” the young woman declared.

“Thank you. What’s your name?” Mo Fan asked with a straight face.

“You can call me Boleyn. Lecturer, I actually enjoyed your class. The way you teach is different from other lecturers. It’s more interesting and I can understand most of the topic too,” Boleyn said with an innocent smile.

“Oh, my next class is next Friday. Do come to my class again!” Mo Fan’s eyes glittered.

He had found his next customer. It seemed like his charm was working!

“All students, please be cautious. There are traces of demon creatures ahead. It’s most likely an adult Mountain Ridge Beast. Please stay in your formations and stick closer to the security guards. If you see a Mountain Ridge Beast, try not to engage it on your own,” Mu Bai warned the group.

“Lecturer, I’m a Sound Mage too. I haven’t picked up any traces of huge demon creatures within two kilometers. How do you know there’s a demon creature nearby?” a proud student demanded to know.

They had to get the value of the fifty gold they had paid back. They did not come here for a picnic! The students of the Aorus Sacred Institute considered themselves the most brilliant Mages in the world. Some of them were more capable than the teachers in other countries. In simpler words, they had to be convinced that their lecturers were far better than them. Otherwise, they would ask the school for a refund!

“What’s your name?” Mu Bai replied.

“Sunny, a high-achiever of the Aorus Sacred Institute!” Sunny answered proudly.

The title of a high-achiever was a special grading system the school had implemented for the students. These high-achievers received a lot more gold than normal students per month.

“Sunny, try to listen carefully,” Mu Bai said.

“I already did, but I didn’t pick up anything suspicious!” Sunny said confidently.

“When a group is in the wild, the fighters do not play the most important role. The scouts with the Sound Element, Wind Element, or Shadow Element who help the group gather information are the most important members. You do know a Sound Mage is the most well-received for every group, right?” Mu Bai did not answer the student’s question right away. He pointed out the advantages of a Sound Mage instead.

Sunny grinned. He seemed to be pleased with himself.

A Sound Mage was as well-received as a Healer! Almost every team in the wild would compete to recruit a Sound Mage. The former was able to predict danger, while the latter was able to help the group recover from dangerous situations!

“If this wasn’t an excursion led by teachers and security guards, you would have to take full responsibility for the group’s safety as a Sound Mage,” Mu Bai continued grimly.

Sunny pulled a long face, but he did not dare to talk back to Mu Bai, since he was a lecturer.

“Listen carefully again!” Mu Bai demanded, his voice harder.

Sunny was startled. Even though he was angry about it, he still obeyed the order.

He closed his eyes and listened carefully. He could hear everything within three kilometers, despite the complicated terrain and hidden caves.

A girl was saying how handsome Lecturer Mu Han was to her friend around a hundred meters behind him.

A wild deer was sprinting around five hundred meters ahead.

A rock was falling down a cliff two kilometers away.

He could not identify the sounds three kilometers away. He could still hear them, but it was too difficult to tell whether they were the movement of demon creatures or the sounds of nature.

There was no presence of any demon creatures within two kilometers of the group. The lecturer had obviously made a mistake, yet he was still putting on airs.

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

He suddenly heard a faint sound from around five hundred meters ahead.

Was it from the deer?

Something was not right, it did not sound like a deer’s footsteps. It was more like the sound of a drum.

The wild deer picked up its pace as it was running past a shrub. It was fleeing for its life. Sunny heard the drumming quickening, but it soon calmed down and faded away.

The sound… It’s a beating heart!

The heartbeats of an enormous creature!

The wild deer had run away from where it was hiding. The creature was a little tempted to pounce on the deer, but it had chosen to stay hidden in the shrub instead, as if it was waiting for bigger prey!

The only living creature in the vicinity other than their group was the wild deer!

Damn it!

There was really a threat nearby! In just a few minutes, they would have been walking past the huge creature. It would be fine if their guards could react in time. If not, someone would be eaten alive!

Sunny opened his eyes. His forehead was covered in a cold sweat. His arrogance and resentment of the lecturer were replaced by disbelief!

“Lecturer Mu Han, are you a Sound Mage too? Did you hear its heartbeats from further away?” Sunny had to ask.

“Did you realize your mistake now?” Mu Bai asked him instead.

“Yes, I was being too careless,” Sunny admitted with a hint of remorse.

“If you were in the wild, people might have died because of your mistake, which is why I’ve emphasized how important it is to stay on guard at all times. But you and the other students aren’t treating this seriously. I expected much more from the students of the Aorus Sacred Institute!” Mu Bai stated coldly.
