1457 Who Was The Traitor? 4 (2/2)

Gu Canmo nodded and did as he was told.

...

Somewhere inside a swarthy cave.

This cave was originally a residence of some beasts. The beasts had been driven away by the people from Tianju Hall. Di Fuyi personally used a cleaning spell to purify the cave several times so that there was no smell inside the cave anymore.

There was a long stone inside the cave.

A bunch of engraved stones and the Tianmo Jade sat on top of the long stone.

The two students were assigned to keep an eye outside the cave to avoid anyone from entering the cave.

This cave was located in a dense jungle. It was summer now and also the most tumultuous period for mosquitoes.

It had been three hours since the test, and it was now late at night. The mosquitoes were even more rampant. The mosquitoes constantly bit them as they stood outside the cave. It was somewhat painful.

They did not stop slapping the mosquitoes that got near to them and continuously cursed the traitor from time to time.

The two students were not good at martial arts. They did not even possess a spiritual power of level six, so they were unable to protect their bodies from the mosquitoes with a spell. They could only slap the mosquitoes using their bare hands.

The mosquitoes in the mountain were huge. Large rashes would form on their skin soon after they were bitten. After some time, many big rashes had formed on their bodies, and they did not feel good at all!

One of the students proposed to use smoke to drive the mosquitoes away which was indeed a good idea. The other student immediately went and collected the wormwood that was explicitly used to smoke the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes were immediately driven away by the smoke that was produced from the burning wood. The two students decided that it was best to stand near the burning wormwood. Finally, they were able to continue their guard duties without any disturbance.

They did not realize that, not far from them, a shadow that almost blended into the nightfall stood behind a tree. He had been observing for a long while and was now blowing a wisp of smoke toward the two students.
