Chapter 206 Mini Stone Giant
Chapter 206 Mini Stone Giant
Teacher Li glanced around and nodded, "Very good, now that everyone is here, let's get started."
After saying that, she didn't look at Qi Yu and the others again, but walked outside on her own.
Seeing this, Qi Yu and others hurried to catch up. They didn't know whether the other party was waiting for them intentionally. At this time, Teacher Li's speed was not fast, so they quickly caught up with her pace.
Along the way, Teacher Li changed his usual behavior and became unusually silent. Seeing that he didn't speak, Qi Yu and the others didn't speak either, and just followed him in silence.
Qi Yu felt very familiar with this situation. It was the same situation when he first became Zhang Xu's disciple and followed him.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Teacher Li, who was leading the way, slowly stopped and said, "We're here."
Hearing this, Qi Yu stopped his wild thoughts and looked around:
They were now in the middle of a forest. Apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was almost no other noise, which only highlighted the quietness of the place.
Where they stood was the center of the woods. It was a cleared area made by humans. This place was very suitable for both training and fighting.
Teacher Li looked around, then turned to face Qi Yu and the others. Amid their surprised gazes, Teacher Li pulled out a chair from his sleeve, then leaned on it with his legs crossed.
"This place is great, with beautiful scenery and a suitable temperature. It's perfect for high-intensity training."
Teacher Li said the most painful words in the most gentle tone.
After that, Teacher Li turned his gaze back to Qi Yu and the others, and said calmly: "To be honest, after fighting with you guys, I am very disappointed."
"You guys are the worst exchange student group I've ever seen."
Hearing this, Qi Yu thought to himself: Why does it feel like he is the homeroom teacher?
Teacher Li pointed his finger at Qi Yu and said, "You only know how to rush around recklessly, and you don't know how to adapt at all."
Then, she pointed at Zhao Ran and said, "You only know how to be clever. You are not worthy of being in a refined place."
Finally, he pointed his target at Zhou Xi: "You are guarding a treasure mountain, but you don't know how to explore it. Think about the Black and White Witches of the Dark Element Academy back then, how majestic they were..."
"The Black and White Witch from the Dark Element Academy?" Qi Yu caught the words in Teacher Li's words and thought to himself: "Could it be..."
Thinking of this, Qi Yu raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Zhou Xi, while the latter had a blank expression on her face, as if the other party was not talking about her but someone else.
At this moment, Teacher Li seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, so she coughed twice and changed the subject:
"Anyway, you guys say it's a teacher-level seed, but in my opinion, it's still far from that."
Qi Yu and the others were silent at this time, with their heads slightly lowered, looking ashamed, but there was no trace of frustration in their eyes.
After all, among the three exchange students present, it can be said that none of them came here simply for exchange studies. Basically, they all had their own ulterior motives, but only they themselves knew what they were.
Teacher Li looked at them with their heads bowed in silence, then sat up straight in his seat, leaned forward slightly and said:
"Of course. I can assure you that as long as you can persevere in my training, you can be promoted to teachers when you return."
"Really? Thank you, Teacher Li. We will definitely follow your teachings, study hard, and make progress every day..."
After hearing this, Zhao Ran showed an expression of "tears of gratitude" and immediately activated his signature skill of "striking the snake while it's still open".
But Teacher Li was obviously not one to fall for this. Faced with Zhao Ran's continuous flattery, he ignored it, but stood up from his chair and slowly walked to the center of the venue.
Then she swung her sleeves, and a huge monster flew out from her sleeves and landed steadily in the center of the venue.
Qi Yu looked up, but the result surprised him slightly. It was a human-shaped object made of a large number of yellow-brown bricks. There was a little moss in the gaps between the bricks, which made it look very old.
Looking closely, this object has a complete torso, limbs, and head. It is more like a stone man made of stone bricks than a human-shaped object.
Qi Yu's mouth trembled slightly at this. Looking at the familiar shape, he instantly recognized what it was. This thing looked exactly like the boss in the temple - the stone giant, but in terms of size, it was a lot smaller.
"Golem?" Zhou Xi, who was silent on the side, couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Teacher Li take out the "mini" version of the golem.
"Oh, you're quite knowledgeable." Teacher Li looked at her in surprise, then said with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, "I remember when I was an apprentice, I went with my teacher to a place where danger and opportunity coexisted."
"There are monsters everywhere and traps everywhere. It's very likely that you just accidentally knocked over a chair, and before you know it, you've already been shot through by a crossbow."
Teacher Li spread his hands and continued, "As the saying goes, 'No venture, no gain.' The more dangerous the environment, the more valuable the treasure you'll find."
"We finally made it to the back of a small temple after going through so much hardship. I'll never forget that scene."
She made a giant gesture as she spoke. "Gold coins are piled up everywhere like mountains, and the table is piled high with all kinds of rare magical materials." Then she pointed overhead. "Even the chandelier overhead is inlaid with various gemstones."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu and the others were all surprised, but Qi Yu himself could vaguely guess that the place Teacher Li was talking about was most likely the jungle temple.
"You can get such a huge fortune by avoiding traps and fighting monsters. Where is that place?" Zhao Ran rubbed his hands and asked.
"Later, while traveling in the Mechanical Kingdom, I learned that the place was called the Temple of the Sun, and its location was probably in your 'jungle'."
As she spoke, she reached out and patted the "mini" stone giant's head. "Don't underestimate that place. The greatest danger isn't the traps or the monsters, but these stone golems created by the ancient followers of the Sun God."
"These golems don't tire, feel pain, or fear death. Their bodies are incredibly hard and powerful, making them practically weapons of war."
"So this is..." Zhao Ran asked, pointing at the mini stone giant.
Teacher Li shook his head and said, "This is the smallest one. I had to remove the energy core and bring it to you. I heard that the largest one is as tall as four people with just a fist."
"Then Teacher Li, the reason you took out this golem is..." Zhao Ran spoke at the right time.
Teacher Li didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Qi Yu who was still thinking on the side.
