Sylvia's POV:
The forbidden forest was still shrouded by mist.
A large flock of crows flew out above us, cawing.
Harry shivered.He rubbed his arms, trying to warm himself up.He couldn't help complaining, "Why is it
so cold here? I should have listened to you and worn more clothes."
I looked at his thin denim jacket and ripped jeans, feeling a little helpless.
Before we set off, we asked him to change into thick clothes.
But he would rather be frozen to death in his fashionable clothes than be wrapped in a bloated military
coat.
While we were talking, the referee brought a few soldiers over to frisk us, making sure we didn't hide
any weapons.
During the test in the forbidden forest, no one was allowed to bring any weapons.
After the frisking, the referee put an electronic device on us.
We could press the button of this electronic device in case of danger.
Then the troops secretly protecting us would come to rescue and take the contestants out of the
forbidden forest.
But this would also mean that the contestants had quit the competition willingly.
After all the preparations, the referee announced the commencement of the test.
After entering the forbidden forest, the six contestants who qualified for the test must find the blue
cornflower and return within two hours.
It was the rainy season at this time, so everything on earth was coming back to life.
All kinds of insects and beasts came out of their nests one after another.
So not long after we entered the forbidden forest, we encountered two hungry black bears.
They were twice as big as the ordinary ones, and they ran extremely fast.
Obviously, they had mutated.
Harry wanted to avoid direct contact with the black bears to save his strength, so he hid in a tree.
But he obviously forgot that black bears could climb trees too.
Before he reached the top of the tree, the black bears had already caught up with him.He had no other
choice but to deal with them with force.
At this time, Warren took out a wooden sword which was only as long as his forearm, out of nowhere.
Before we could come to our senses, he attacked and knocked out one of the black bears quickly.
"Fuck! Where did your sword come from? They forbid us to bring any weapons, right?" Harry exclaimed
surprisingly.
He stared at Warren with admiration in his eyes.
"It's not a weapon but an ornament," Warren said coldly with a solemn expression on his face,
brandishing the sword.
The wooden sword didn't have sharp edges because it hadn't been sharpened yet.
It was indeed not a weapon.
After such an episode, it was much easier for us to deal with the other black bear.
The six of us worked together to deal with it.The process was simple and efficient.
After dealing with the black bears, Harry began to feel relaxed.
"The forbidden forest isn't that terrible.I won't be afraid, even if there are another ten black bears."
I knocked his head angrily and said in a serious tone, "Don't take it lightly.We are still at the entrance of
the forbidden forest.It's safer than the other parts of the forest because the troops secretly protecting us
have cleaned this up in advance.We have to be more careful later."
Harry rubbed his nose and replied obediently, "I get it."
Then we continued to go deep into the forbidden forest.
Fortunately, we didn’t encounter any giant beasts anymore.
However, there were too many kinds of bugs and insects in the forbidden forest.
Our exposed skin was soon densely packed with red bug bites, and none of us was Spared.
Harry was the most miserable one.
The holes in his ripped jeans were so big that bugs crawled in.He was stung, so his legs were swollen,
itchy, and painful.
When we reached a fork in the road, Tom suddenly proposed that we split up.
Otherwise, our time would not be enough.
We had a short discussion and eventually agreed with his suggestion.
"I'll go with you," Tom said to Warren.
Warren stood aside and replied indifferently, "Whatever.I don't care."
In that case, I reasoned that Harry and I should be together.
After all, Harry held a grudge against John for a long time, and it simply wasn't safe to leave them two
in the same group alone.
But at this time, Peter said that he wanted to go with me.
"If everything goes well, I believe that you will be our future captain.I want to get acquainted with you in
advance.After all, I'm from Class C, and I never had any contact with anyone in Class A before." As he
spoke, Peter scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled.
Then he took the initiative to choose a track.
I glanced at Harry hesitantly.
Peter seemed sincere.
If I refused him, he might feel humiliated and we might have a conflict in the future.So I agreed to go
with him.
Harry was obviously unhappy, but he had no choice but to leave with John.
After we separated, the weather began to turn cloudy.Then the rain started to pour out lightly.
The road became muddy, but we could still walk forward.
Everything seemed to be smooth since we entered the forbidden forest.
I didn't know why but I still felt a little uneasy.
