As for those students who had been kicked back into the crevice by him, at this moment, each of their bodies was trembling violently, their eyes filled with emotion. In their view, Brian Brooks at this moment, with his self-sacrificing figure, appeared tall and mighty. Unconsciously, a few of them felt their blood boil and actually charged forward again.
Brian Brooks immediately panicked, hurriedly went up, and pushed them back one by one. He was afraid those few would come up again, so he gritted his teeth and simply stood at the entrance of the crevice, raised both hands, pressed them against the rock wall, and used his own body to form a wall of flesh. He shouted anxiously.
“I’ve been poisoned by snake venom, there’s no way I can escape. Don’t worry about me, just go!”
These words from Brian Brooks were spoken with genuine feeling, causing those few people to tremble all over. And it was at this moment that the wolf pack suddenly accelerated, charging in groups, their howls chilling, bloodlust filling the air as they crazily pounced straight at Brian Brooks.
This scene instantly shocked everyone who was retreating inside the crevice, both body and mind.
“Brian Brooks, come back quickly!”
“Oh my god, he’s using his own flesh and blood to block the wolves so he won’t be a burden to us!” The little white rabbit, Megan Foster, and all the other students inside the crevice were deeply moved. At this moment, Brian Brooks’s round figure seemed like a majestic mountain, becoming an eternal image in their memories.
David Clark was also moved, his breathing rapid. He had previously felt some resentment toward Brian Brooks, but now that resentment had completely vanished, leaving only deep shock.
At this moment, Brian Brooks, with his hands raised to support the rock wall, forming a human wall, looked as if he was holding up the sky!
After making this gesture, even Brian Brooks himself was moved. He thought that if he were a teacher and saw all this, he would definitely be deeply touched. But he still wanted to score more points, so he secretly flattered the academy and spoke resolutely.
“To be admitted to the Misty Dao Academy is my honor. Even if I die here, I, Brian Brooks, live as a person of the academy and die as its soul!”
Brian Brooks felt proud in his heart, very satisfied with what he had just said, convinced that the teachers would be moved!
But this pride didn’t last long. While thinking about earning extra points in the assessment, Brian Brooks unconsciously overlooked one thing—pain!
Although this place was a dream illusion, the sensation of pain was no different from reality. As the howling wolves drew near and their jaws bit down madly, in the blink of an eye, in the eyes of the distant crowd, Brian Brooks’s figure was already swallowed up by more than a dozen fierce wolves.
“It hurts!” Brian Brooks shuddered all over, breathing heavily. All he could see were wolf jaws, all he could smell was blood, and the intense pain of wolf teeth tearing into his flesh almost made him forget this was all fake.
But his heart was resolute, without the slightest thought of retreat!
Even as the pain reached its peak, even as his whole body was a bloody mess, with bones showing in many places, even as his consciousness blurred, the sounds of tearing and howling wolves in his ears blended together like a death knell. Yet from childhood to now, Brian Brooks had many shortcomings, but he also had one extremely prominent trait!
That was… persistence!
“It’s so hard to come across such a big opportunity for points, I can’t waste it. I have to max out my assessment score in one go!” Brian Brooks roared inwardly, determined to hold on a bit longer. But just then, from behind the retreating, weeping students in the distance, a red figure suddenly appeared in the forest, rushing forward at astonishing speed!
The figure in red was a short-haired youth of seventeen or eighteen, with handsome features and a hint of coldness in his eyes. He wore a red fitted outfit, carried a large bow on his back, and moved through the trees like an old ape. As he approached, he drew his bow and shot arrows in rapid succession.
Nine arrows in an instant!
The arrows were so fast they made a sharp whistling sound as they flew over the crowd, shooting through the crevice, whistling past Brian Brooks’s head, underarms, and other places, and, amid the wolves’ shrill howls, struck nine fierce wolves!
Not a single arrow missed, and the tremendous force behind them sent the nine wolves’ bodies flying!
This sudden turn of events stunned all the retreating students, and even Brian Brooks was dazed for a moment. The nine arrows had almost grazed his body as they flew by, giving him quite a scare.
Before he could react, in everyone’s eyes, the red-clothed youth moved even faster, as if he possessed explosive power. He followed the arrows, charged into the crevice, leaped into the air above Brian Brooks’s head, and shot another nine arrows!
The booming sounds were shocking. As nine more wolves howled in agony, the surrounding wolf pack was startled and instinctively retreated a bit. Taking advantage of this, the red-clothed youth landed, directly hoisted Brian Brooks’s body, and rapidly retreated.
Brian Brooks shivered, ignoring the pain. All he could see were the wolves growing more distant, and he became anxious.
“Brother, put me down, I can still hold on a bit longer!”
Hearing Brian Brooks’s words, even though the red-clothed youth was cold by nature, he was moved. At this moment, Brian Brooks’s body was a bloody mess, as if it would fall apart at any moment.
“You’ve already done very well. Leave the rest to me!”
