“What do you plan to do?” Audrey asked him.

The current situation was a little dangerous. It was best for anyone not to wander around. If anything happened while Morris was away, she would not be able to handle it.

Morris looked at her. “I’m just going to do something. Don’t worry. I won’t run away.”

Audrey nodded reluctantly.

In the end, she still chose to trust Morris. After all, Morris was quite strong, so she did not have to worry about him dying.

Morris quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

The night sky was filled with darkness. The Demon Beasts around them were basically sound asleep. They could only hear the occasional roars of two unknown Demon Beasts. Other than that, there was no other sound.

Morris squatted on the tree and looked at everything not far away. In fact, he had already sensed that an unknown force was attacking them.

That force did not look like a human but more like a powerful monster.

He also released his battle spirit and tried to stop the other party from advancing, but he could do nothing. They were still quite far away from each other. If they could move earlier tomorrow, they might be able to escape from the other party’s restraint.

Morris jumped down. He originally planned to move to another place and observe, but he did not expect to see a bonfire very close to him.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard, but there’s a big mess in our trial this time.”

“I seem to have heard someone say this, but I’m not sure where it came from. I feel that we haven’t met anyone since the day we left. It’s too strange.”

“Haha, Julius, say it. It’s just that you’re too lazy and didn’t go far.”

The person called Julius glanced over, seemingly helpless at what he said.

“But it’s true. My brother took part in the last trial. He told me that there’s a high chance that a team with exceptional strength will be formed on the first day,” Julius said.

A girl with braided hair said, “But we didn’t meet anyone else. That’s what I don’t understand.”

“Maybe because this forest is too big, we’re spread too far apart.” Julius found a suitable reason.

He looked up at the boy in the corner with a hood.

“Aluma, how is it? Do you feel something wrong?”

Aluma nodded. When he opened his eyes, Morris was a little surprised.

His eyes, even in this pitch-black situation, had light reflecting on them. They seemed to be glowing, revealing a bit of holiness.

“You shouldn’t know that thousands of years ago, there was a giant beast sleeping here.” Aluma raised his head and looked at a place not far away. “The aura that had slept for thousands of years is starting to waver. It’s obvious that someone has awakened the giant beast.”

Morris frowned subconsciously, his eyes filled with disbelief.

As he said, if it was really, a thousand-year-old Demon Beast was comparable to an ancient dragon.

If such a monster really woke up during their trial, it would cause a lot of chaos, even greater than the damage caused by the Carol Association.

“Is it really awake? W-which direction?” Julius’s tone was a little panicked.

Aluma raised her hand and pointed to the east of them.

Morris instantly understood everything.

No wonder when they had just arrived yesterday, they had already seen that side covered by dark clouds. There were also groups of birds flying over from that direction as if they were hiding from something terrible.

It seemed that everything could be explained.

Just when Morris had finished listening to the useful information and was about to leave, the tree under his feet suddenly shook a few times violently.

“The brother on the tree, you have heard all the information that you should have heard. So then, you should come down and talk to us,” Julius said with a smile.

The movement of his feet was not light. But, as long as he exerted a little more strength, the big tree was obviously broken.

Morris sighed.

He had been too busy listening to such useful information to hide his aura. So that was how he was discovered.

He put on a hood and hid in the darkness. Then, he jumped off the tree.

Julius was shocked by the person who suddenly appeared in front of him. He subconsciously took a few steps back.

God, he did not expect that there was actually someone on the tree.

He just felt that there was a strange feeling of being spied on, so he wanted to test it out, but he did not expect that there was really a person.

Aluma was shocked by the sudden appearance of the figure. After that, the light emitted from his eyes was much smaller, and he was completely on guard.

Looking at them, Morris spread his hands, indicating that he did not have any thoughts.

“I just happened to pass by here when I was out for a walk at night and accidentally overheard your conversation. I don’t think you mind, right?”

Morris smiled casually, trying to make his expression very relaxed.

However, the people in front of him clearly did not believe him.

The girl with a braid had even raised the weapon in her hand.

“It’s so late at night. Who would be so free to come out for a walk? You must have seen the bonfire we set up, so you came here to inquire about the situation! If I’m not wrong, if I let you go back just like this, you would definitely call for reinforcements, right?”

Julius frowned. He had no intention of letting him go.

Seeing the five people around him raise their weapons, Morris sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, he still could not escape the battle.
