Chapter 536: Chapter 255: Epic Skill Celestial-Burning Flame Spear, Falling into the Depths

Lin Mo hurried over to heal them one by one.

Fortunately, the students were all quite skilled and reacted quickly. Upon hearing Deke’s warning, they all took the proper action using the mountain walls.

The only one who couldn’t react in time was a Knight, slowed by his Heavy Armor. Still, Knights are tough and have high Constitution. He took a nasty fall, but it wasn’t fatal. Lin Mo managed to heal him with two Great Healing Skills.

After making his rounds, Lin Mo finally came to Eve. She had sustained serious injuries while protecting Mi Lan.

As Lin Mo cast the Healing Technique, her eyes remained fixed on him.

’Mage, Warrior, and now a Priest...’

Yet, compared to before, Eve found that she was no longer surprised.

’A person like that is on a completely different level from us. It’s like we’re two different species.’

"Thank you."

Eve stood up and thanked him sincerely.

However, her face remained impassive, a trait she shared with Shefilya—though not to the same extreme.

Soon, the group gathered together once more.

"So, what the hell just happened?"

Luke griped, "I seriously thought I was a goner..."

"I don’t know. I’ve never heard of an accident like this happening in the Giant Stone Mine."

Deke shook his head.

"The academy will investigate this later."

A calm-headed boy from the student group spoke up, "More important than the cause right now is figuring out how to survive here... until help arrives."

"The accident happened in Area 6. We can’t determine the scope of the tremors yet. It’ll be a problem if the camp in Area 4 didn’t notice it right away, and that’s the worst-case scenario... People don’t usually come to Area 6, especially this close to the Crystalized Spider Nest. At this rate, who knows when anyone will even realize there’s been an accident."

Hahn said pessimistically.

Deke’s brow furrowed. Hahn’s worries weren’t unfounded. He had noticed something when the accident occurred—the tremor didn’t seem to shake the entire Giant Stone Mine, but was localized to their small area.

"It’s no use... We’re too deep, and the Magic Power fluctuations are chaotic. The Magic Energy Communication Device can’t reach the academy."

Mi Lan’s words made Lin Mo freeze.

He then looked into the deep darkness ahead.

"What did you just say?"

"Uh... that the Magic Energy Communication Device can’t reach the academy?"

Startled by the question, Mi Lan seemed a little nervous.

"No, the part before that."

"’The Magic Power fluctuations here are chaotic?’"

"Yes, that’s it!"

Lin Mo’s expression grew more serious than ever. "This accident... was very likely intentional!"

"What?!"

The entire group was shocked.

"Chaotic Magic Power fluctuations in the lower levels of the Giant Stone Mine don’t just disrupt communications... they can also conceal the traces left by using Magic."

Thanks to his recent reading, Lin Mo now had a decent grasp of the world’s fundamental principles and common knowledge.

"So, even if a powerful Earth Element Mage used Magic to collapse this area, it would be nearly impossible to detect afterward..."

A chill ran down everyone’s spine at Lin Mo’s words.

"It’s fine. They wouldn’t dare to make a direct move."

Eve remained calm. "The academy will definitely investigate, so they can only make our deaths look like an accident. For example, at the hands of Demons..."

Lin Mo looked at her.

’In fact, he had just been wondering if the Morin Clan was behind this.’

’Although the Auswiss Clan’s warning had stopped them from moving against Feney directly, retaliation through such underhanded means was certainly possible.’

’With the Morin Clan’s influence in the Kingdom, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to track their movements.’

’However, judging by Eve’s words, that might not be the case?’

’Did someone want to get rid of her and her people, too?’

"It’s because of the Hunting Competition!"

The calm-headed boy’s eyes widened in realization. "Damn that Sartre! Is he that afraid of Eve?"

"He can’t win based on skill, so he resorts to these dirty tricks. It’s disgusting!"

Once he said that, it was as if the other students suddenly understood, and they all erupted in righteous anger.
