Huh? There's a magic school here.
Chapter 424 Exploring the Void (Part 2)
Before they knew it, the little ones had caught up with a waterfall, quite far from the mountain path. They hadn't thought much of it as they chased it, but now that they were here, they started to feel scared. Right next to the waterfall, by the river, a large number of animals were drinking, and many monkeys were perched in the trees, baring their teeth at them.
Although these little ones were wizards, they were still just teenagers. It was understandable that they felt some fear in the face of a large number of wild beasts, especially a huge black bear with two cubs squatting in the river fishing.
Depp and his three companions stood rooted to the spot, too afraid to move. Even setting aside whether the black bear in the river was a magical creature, they couldn't possibly defeat the monkeys perched in the trees!
"What should I do? I feel like I'm not going to get my backpack back today!"
"That backpack was a gift from my father, and it was very expensive!"
"If you lose your backpack, you can buy another one, but if you feed the bears here, you'll have nothing left!"
"What are you afraid of! We are wizards!! Why would we be afraid of some beasts!?"
That's what they say, but... oh dear.
Before Jack could finish speaking, a pebble hit him on the head, and the scream seemed to send a signal. Immediately, the wind spirit monkeys in the trees began to hurl a barrage of pebbles at them, and the young wizards, after being hit by the pebble rain, immediately chanted spells to stop the wind spirit monkeys' attack.
"There are many obstacles!"
"There are many obstacles!"
The four-tone incantation immediately stopped the wind spirit monkeys' attack, which relieved them.
"Luckily we learned the Obstacle Charm this year, otherwise we would definitely be covered in bumps today!"
"But this won't help us get our backpacks back!"
"Alright, stop complaining! Now's the time to stick together! Jack, you undo your spell and hide behind me! Kane, you hide behind Depp! Depp and I will use the Barrier Charm to protect us, and you two will use the Stun Charm to attack those monkeys with backpacks!"
After Liu Gang finished speaking, the four friends set to work according to the plan, and the situation began to look interesting. The little wizards and the monkeys fought back and forth, and during this time, the wind spirit monkeys didn't hold back and opened their backpacks to rummage through them.
So all the trinkets they brought were thrown around like trash, and the fruit in their backpacks was devoured by the monkeys. Jack even saw the monkeys expertly unscrew the cap of his drink and start drinking.
"Damn it, I don't know who taught this monkey how to open a bottle cap!"
"No need to teach them, they'll learn after watching a few times! They're much smarter than you bunch of idiots! Alright, children, stop attacking!"
Just as Jack was complaining, a male voice came from behind them. The young wizards immediately turned around and saw a middle-aged man from China wearing a black wizard's robe with a sturdy wind spirit monkey perched on his shoulder, baring its teeth at them! Just as the children were at a loss, the monkeys stopped throwing stones.
Meanwhile, the monkey on the middle-aged wizard's shoulder was yelling wildly at the monkeys in the tree, and then a comical scene unfolded. The wind spirit monkeys that had been squeaking and chattering in the tree just moments before were now obediently perched on the tree, heads bowed and eyes lowered, not daring to look in their direction, completely devoid of their previous arrogance.
Then they heard the male wizard say something.
"Go, Little Ape, and bring back these kids' things!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the monkey on the wizard's shoulder darted off and ran up a tree, tearing at several of the larger-looking monkeys. The wind spirit monkeys that had been attacked didn't dare to move, just covering their heads. Seeing the monkeys' pitiful state, Liu felt a pang of pity.
"Okay, stop hitting them! They just ate some fruit!"
The middle-aged wizard glanced at Liu and then said in an annoyed tone.
"I really don't know who taught you guys your magical creature protection class! Little Ape is the monkey king of this group of wind spirit monkeys. If it doesn't discipline its subordinates who make mistakes, its position will be challenged! So, in order to maintain the stability of the monkey troop, it has to do this!"
Sure enough, after disciplining a few of the larger monkeys, the little ape stopped attacking. Then, after calling out to the troop a few times, the monkeys began to climb down the tree and collect the items that had been thrown to the ground. Finally, they packed up the backpacks and handed them to the little ape, who then returned alone—no, with four backpacks in tow.
The children took their backpacks from Xiao Yuan, and Liu even pulled a peach from his backpack and handed it to Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan didn't reach for the peach; instead, he looked at the middle-aged wizard. Only after the wizard nodded did Xiao Yuan happily accept the peach from Liu and begin to eat it.
"Wow, it's so smart!"
The praise seemed to please the middle-aged wizard, and his tone softened considerably.
"Let's go. I really don't know how you guys dared to come here. Luckily, most of the magical creatures on Sword Peak are friendly to humans, otherwise you might all be corpses by the time I arrived!"
After speaking, the wizard turned and walked towards the path leading to Sword Peak, while the monkey on his shoulder continued to eat a delicious peach. Liu and Depp, along with their four friends, glanced back at the animals below the waterfall before quickly following the wizard.
"What are you Hogwarts kids doing here?"
"Excuse me, sir, may I ask who you are?"
"Sheng Xueming! Professor Taixu!"
"Thank you, Professor Sheng, for helping us retrieve our backpacks. We came here to climb Sword Peak! The senior students said the summit is beautiful, and we wanted to see it!"
Sheng Xueming seemed to remember something as he listened to the children's conversation, and then remained silent for the rest of the way. Soon, the group returned to the path leading up the mountain, and Sheng Xueming uttered a seemingly random remark before leaving.
"It was so beautiful, I wonder if we'll ever have another chance to watch the sunrise together!"
The four friends didn't quite understand Professor Sheng's words. After the professor left, they continued walking up the mountain.
"Professor Sheng doesn't seem as strict as the students say!"
"Maybe!"
The four friends climbed smoothly and quickly to the summit. Standing on the summit, they looked at the sea of clouds in front of them and began to wail like wolves! In the past, they would fly around on broomsticks in the sky, but now, standing on the summit looking at the sea of clouds, their feelings were different.
This is a kind of thrill, but not the thrill of an experienced driver; it's a sense of accomplishment after conquering a mountain! Although Jianfeng isn't a particularly high mountain, that didn't diminish their immense sense of achievement. After playing, taking photos, and resting at the summit, the group wanted to head back, but just as they were about to leave, a student from Taixu suddenly jumped down from a large tree at the top.
