Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 336 Lessons Learnt

Wow!

Everyone wetted their lips while staring at the glistening fruit.

It was like a gift from the heavens, with its mysterious aura and outer appearance.

Its smell was like nothing they had ever smelt before.

Can they say the smell was like an enchantress, luring her victims with a mesmerizing tune?

Brrruuu~

Their bellies sang in unison when the strange aroma whiffed its way into their nostrils.

It was strange to say that only when exposed out from Donghai's chest did they have the feeling this way.

Well, maybe the adrenaline and tension during the battle against the giant Crocodile had made them underlook the sweet smell surrounding them.

So sweet... So sweet...

Augh~

Everyone drooled but didn't say anything since it was Donghai's fruit. Of course, they were also interested in his story.

"What? So you fell into a crazy spiral hole?" Wait! There were more Crocs in there? And you say they were bigger and fatter than the one we just fought?"

"Bro, how can that be... No! Scratch that. I forgot this isn't a normal place."

From the description Donghai gave them, the Crocs were gigantic

When laying on the ground and facing an adult human, normal crocodiles had heights reaching shin-level, below one's knees.

But these ones... Donghai made them understand that if they were lying down, they would be chest level or even higher.

If this were the case, their bodies would be so fatty and gigantic, maybe like bears or even bigger.

This was an instant kill for anyone who couldn't escape their den in time.

With such bodies, they could pass through the crevices fit for the human body.

This was what saved Donghai. He should be lucky he didn't first jump into the pond to escape, or else, wouldn't he meet them on the other side?

K.O...

It would've been a Fatality!

.

Today, everyone had cold sweat, looking at the seemingly peaceful waters around them.

"Wipe! I will never head deep into the waters unless necessary."

"Me too!... I'm no coward, but just thinking about the magical scene is enough to make me shiver for days."

Right.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Donggai's retelling was so vivid in their minds that they quickly substituted themselves for him in this blockbuster adventure he encountered.

With no real weapons, only relying on one's care hands and intelligence in a den of monstrous predators... What would they do?

Donghai took in deep breaths, trying to calm his turbulent heart

"Since we've been doing chores here, nothing of this sort has ever happened before. The roots opening up and allowing me to fall into the hole might've been triggered by something. Nonetheless, this is still a lesson for us."

Instantly, everyone's face turned serious.

p They had been very nonchalant, maybe because they felt the land was super safe, with no beasts able to emerge into these Handymen working territories.

This made them drop their guards down, forgetting that the waters and maybe even underground channels might still have these dangerous beasts lurking around waiting for food to drop to their laps.

Of course, if they had strength, they believed a single punch might've been enough to kill these beasts. How do they know this?

Simple.

The first group of people who broke through their mortal shells and were sent to the Outer Sect had a public test, showing off their strengths.

.

Donghai and the rest would never forget the spectacle.

They saw Ghu Sota punch many giant boulders severally until he smashed them all to smithereens.

Following that, Sota's speed was tested, and even his jump was ridiculously insane, as though gravity wasn't holding him back the same way it did them.

And in an arena-styled space, Everyone watched from above as Sota had to pass through a tight maze filled with puppets moving at incredulous speeds.

They thought this alone was impossible to do.

But Wei Gia, Sota, and many others passed through with closed eyes, relying on their sharp hearing, wind feel, etc.

Hahahahah~

It was like watching a martial arts movie come to life.

Think about it... If they had such capabilities, where would they be struggling to fight that single croc so pitifully?

Strength! Strength! Strength!...

Everyone clenched their fists and looked at each other tactfully.

"Unless we can get to the Outer Sect, we must stay vigilant, watching our steps." Donghai cautioned.

He didn't want anyone to fall into such a predicament. They might not be as lucky as him. Thus, he warned them not to step on the many tree roots casually.

Who knows what would trigger these roots to move again?

For now, they would have to think twice before striking any surface.

"Right!" Everyone agreed.

But what they didn't know was that even if they were about to get killed, someone would pop in and rescue them. The same went for those in the Inner, outer, and core sect regions.

.

Don't get it twisted.

That they allowed Danger to lurk around the academy was only to create such experiences that would steel the hearts of these disciples.

They could get stabbed or really brutality injured. But they would never be allowed to die on the Academy's grounds.

Someone might help them in secret, making it look like luck, while in other instances, the helper might decide to show himself.

All in all, they would face uncountable life and death situations everywhere within the Academy.

This was part of their training, allowing them to stay vigilant.

Of course, even outside the academy grounds, they would get saved in the nick of time if they entered the forbidden forest.

However, why save them early?

Many might think it cruel. But so what?

Heh.

To have them better understand how dangerous each place was, no one would rescue them until they had exhausted themselves and even had backlashes too.

One had to learn a lesson for it to stick properly in their minds.

And in this academy, Dorian had a lot of ways to make them understand his 'lessons.'
