498 I Heard That You Are Looking for a Guardian? (2/2)

”Ai Li, take a look at your Emperor's Heart Ring. Check and see if you have communication signals!” Lin Xin thought and asked Ai Li.

Ai Li felt that Lin Xin's request was strange, but she still opened the webpage of the Emperor's Heart Ring. ”There's no signal!”

”Try to call any of the teachers or even one of us,” Lin Xin urged.

Ai Li nodded and tried to call Lin Xin first. She then received a similar notification as Lin Xin had received earlier. ”Sorry, the service is not supported in your region.” She then attempted to call Teacher Qin Tianxing but could not connect either.

”What's happening? Why's the communication signal interrupted as well?” Ai Li frowned.

”I suspect that something is wrong with the assessment,” Lin Xin said in a low voice. ”The communication and network signals are blocked. It seems someone intentionally did so.”

”How could it be? Who dares to offend the Martial Hunter College?” Ai Li found it unbelievable.

”Trust me. I've been to the wilderness several times with my brother. He has told me few of the things that I have to pay attention to in the wild zone. It is dangerous now as the communication and network signals are blocked. He told me before that when the underworld is going to perform a regional attack, they'll usually block the network and communication of their targeted region. The dimension will be closed to stop any dimensional travel. I think that's what we're encountering now,” Lin Xin explained with a serious expression.

”Last year December, the heretics made a big issue when they attacked the Hunter examination hall. Have you ever heard of it? The people had the guts to attack the Hunter examination hall, so why not the Martial Hunter College?” Lin Xin looked at Ai Li with an earnest expression.

Ai Li struggled for a short while, but in the end, she nodded. ”We can't confirm what exactly has happened yet. Let's wake the guys up and discuss this.”

Soon after, they woke the three boys up, and Lin Xin changed her clothes in the tent.

Five of them sat together and Lin Xin told the boys what she had just told Ai Li.

A few of the boys frowned as they checked their network connection.

”I realized that the network connection had been disconnected at around 4 a.m. I thought that it'd just last for a while.” It had been Chu Peng's turn to keep watch over the tent from 3 a.m to 5 a.m. ”Two hours have passed. Something's definitely gone wrong.”

”My brother told me the same thing as what Ling Xue said. If the communication and network signals are blocked in the wild zone, we have to be careful. If we are lucky, perhaps the signals will only stop working temporarily. If we are unlucky, most probably, the underworld is going to attack us. I think that we have to be prepared for the worst,” Nangong Qing said thoughtfully as he gazed at the rest of the members.

Listening to what Nangong Qing said, their faces turned grave.

”We'll have to pack our stuff and leave this place as soon as possible. According to Chu Peng, the signals have been blocked for two hours. If the underworld is attacking us, it means that the attack has lasted for two hours. They'll be able to find us any time now,” Yao Hao immediately suggested.

”But we have no idea how many people there are and where they are. Where should we go?” Ai Li asked.

”We don't have to worry about that. Let's look for a guardian. If the guardian knows what's happening, they'll think of ways to help us leave this place.” All the students actually knew about the presence of the guardians. As long as they requested help from the guardians, marks would be deducted from the team. Therefore, if only one of them encountered danger, 100 marks would be deducted. If all five of them faced danger, 500 marks would be deducted. Based on that fact, all the students neglected the presence of the guardians. As reminded by Yao Hao, Lin Xin and the rest then thought of asking for help from the guardians.

”I heard that you guys are looking for a guardian.” A woman's voice was suddenly heard, and a slender figure walked gracefully out of the trees…
