Chapter: 255
"Miss Jenkins, you can also see that it's a dead end, right? Are you saying that we will wait for the surge of beasts in here? How are we going to survive that?"
“I agree! This is a downhill slope. If the beasts rushed towards us using this road, they will be able to catch up to us quickly. If that happens, we'll have lesser chances of overcoming them!"
“Miss Jenkins... What exactly are we going to do?"
They all looked at Maria intently. They had listened to her since she showed them her strength and deep perception of the surroundings, but they thought that she was wrong about her plan this time.
However, Maria just ignored them and began to plant the fruits along the downhill path.
To be exact, she was inserting the rock tree fruits into the soil of the steep slope with the sharp ends pointing to the sky.
She inserted them deep enough that only less than one foot of the nearly seven feet long sticks were exposed above the ground.
“Insert all the fruits into the ground just like what I did. We're going to turn the whole steep slope into a sharp thorn trap.
Understand?"
The class was told to set a trap for the incoming savage beasts.
Looking at the long downward slope, the students finally understood the reason why Maria asked them to collect thousands of these fruits.
Even with just a few thousands of these fruits, when they were inserted into the ground, the entire path would transform into a terrifying death trap from hell.
As long as everyone stayed in the depths of the valley, the surge of beasts would naturally rush into the trap. If somehow a beast still managed to get past it, they must be able to handle it already.
“We are still thinking about how we can kill all the beasts, but Maria was already ahead, establishing the strategy from her brilliant mind..."
“Damn it! Now I feel so stupid. To overcome a huge number of enemies, setting up a trap is the most effective way. Why didn't I think of it?"
“Maria... No. Miss Jenkins is too awesome!"
The students excitedly began to follow Maria and inserted the fruits that they collected into the soil one by one.
Since the player's physical attributes in the game was about three times compared to reality, it was not too hard for them to complete this process in a short span of time.
Eventually, more than three thousand fruits were planted on the ground, modifying the whole valley road into a massive death trap without any exit.
The students who had just finished their work wiped their sweat, but they saw that Maria had already gone to the bottom of the valley. She seemed to have found something new in there.
