Chapter 287 Dark Demon and Cockatrice

Fragmented stone and dust were all over the podium.

Professor Nini stood there with an innocent expression.

All of this finally eased the tense atmosphere that filled the classroom.

The students in the front row quieted down, carefully observing the Cockatrice held in the hands of Professor Nini.

Although they had lingering fears, they no longer had the excessive panic they had at the beginning.

Cockatrice and Mind Flayer were slightly different.

They belonged to the more common dangerous monsters in the dungeon.

But Cockatrice was far more well-known than Mind Flayer.

It looked like a monster made of rooster and snake, and legend had it that it could turn enemies to stone just by looking at them.

What happened just now proved the veracity of the legend.

It was just that Professor Nini with Behemoth blood seemed to have a very strong resistance to that kind of petrification ray, and was almost completely unaffected from the petrification.

This made the students less afraid of Cockatrice.

But many people subconsciously ignored the fact that just because Professor Nini was immune to petrification, it didn't mean that they were also immune to petrification!

Fortunately, Professor Nini didn't forget to tie the piece of cloth again…

"Okay, everyone, return to your seats. I think since Professor Nini has brought such a dangerous monster into the classroom, she should have prepared corresponding countermeasures. Like [Petrifaction Elimination Potion]." Dark's calm and clear voice came from the back row.

Students finally settled down after hearing what Dark said.

Emma Mortis looked up at Professor Nini, and asked cautiously: "Professor Nini, is it true?"

Professor Nini on the podium seemed to only remember this now.

She quickly put Cockatrice aside, reached into the "small school bag" with her free hand, and took out a large jar from it.

The large glass jar was filled with a dark green unknown liquid that didn't look like a reliable [Petrifaction Elimination Potion]...

But Professor Nini shook the jar and said loudly: "This is the saliva of Lime Toad(石灰蟾蜍), which is the nemesis of Cockatrice. Just a drop of this saliva can create one liter of potion, and it can remove the petrification caused by Cockatrice."

Although the dark green saliva looked unreliable and a bit disgusting, it was still a special potion for lifting Cockatrice's petrification.

"Whew~" Emma breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to her seat with her two deskmates first.

With her taking the lead, the boys and girls of Knight House also started to return to their seats one after another.

The students of the other houses also returned after only a short while.

The entire classroom finally regained some order.

Dark in the back seat also sat down again.

From the last two classes, Dark knew that although Professor Nini looked a little clumsy, she would do her best to prepare for her lecture.

Now it seemed like he was right.

With the special potion, petrification was no longer that scary.

In myths and legends, "petrification" was always said to be incurable and terrifying. The more famous one was the legend of Medusa. But in fact, in the long war against demons, human beings had already invented methods to fight against petrification.

…

Watching the students taking their seats again, Professor Nini couldn't help giving Dark a grateful look. Then she walked behind the desk with Cockatrice in one hand and Toad Saliva in the other, and resumed the lecture.

"Actually, Cockatrice is not a frightening monster. Apart from the petrification ray that can turn people into stone, they only have the fighting power of a big rooster and half a snake."

"And, with a rooster-like half body, Cockatrice loses some of the characteristics of snakes, making it even less dangerous than snakes!"

"Many monsters in the dungeon are like this. Their danger is mainly based on the unknown. Once you know enough about them and are well prepared to engage with them, you can greatly reduce the danger and even turn it into a rewarding dungeon adventure."

"For example, this kind of Cockatrice. It not only has the body of a rooster, but also the body of a snake, which means... Can someone tell me what this means?"

Professor Nini seemed to suddenly realize the need to interact with students, and stopped very abruptly.

Then she looked eagerly at the audience, hoping that some students would raise their hands to answer the questions.

But this question seemed to be a bit difficult, even the students of Magister House didn't know how to answer it.

After a long while, a kind Magister House girl, who finally couldn't bear to see the embarrassment of Professor Nini, raised her hand slowly.

Professor Nini's eyes lit up, and she quickly called her up.

The girl answered in a low voice; "Since we are talking about a rewarding adventure, the Cockatrice with the body of a snake and a rooster means that the body materials of the snake and the rooster can be collected at the same time..."

When she was still worried about whether what she said was succinct enough, Professor Nini nodded vigorously and said, "Yes. This means that you can eat both chicken and snake meat!"

The girl was taken aback.

But Professor Nini continued without realising her reaction, "if you want to venture deep into the dungeon for a long time, it is very important to learn how to find food."

"I remember that in the homework you submitted, someone mentioned Vine Beast. The blood of Vine Beast can not only be used to quench thirst in an emergency, but its meat is also soft and delicate, and can be eaten as long as it is cooked. Although the taste is a little bland, with a bit of seasoning..."

"Some students also mentioned Mushroom Bears(蘑菇熊), Mushroom Bear's mushrooms are edible fungi, and they are very big, so the portion size is large enough!"

"Similarly, Cockatrice is also an edible species!"

"As long as the head and tail are removed, Cockatrice will be far more delicious than Vine Beast and Mushroom Bear."

"By the way, although they look more like chickens, they are actually snakes. The part that belongs to the snake is the head, and the part that belongs to the rooster is the tail."

"Mhm, about today's class content. In addition to introducing Cockatrice, there is also the petrification experience..."

"Does anyone want to try it?"

"Don't worry, as long as the petrification is lifted within fifteen minutes, there won't be any problem!"

After finishing speaking, she looked below the podium expectantly again.

But this time was completely different from last time.

All students averted their eyes.

No one responded to her out of sympathy anymore.

Oh my god!

Mind Flayer's mind-absorbing experience was still understandable. After all, it was really necessary.

But what was with this petrification experience?

After experiencing it once, were they going to have petrification immunity?

Make no mistake, not everyone was a Behemoth!

The herd immunity would not work here!

…

Professor Nini, who was ignored by the students, turned to Emma and Dark for help.

But this time, Emma turned her head directly and mercilessly refused to look at her.

Professor Nini could only look at the blond boy in the corner of the last row.

Dark took a deep breath and felt that someone had to do something eventually, so he stood up and said, "Professor Nini, petrification experience is really not necessary. If we encounter it suddenly, it will be difficult for us to take out the potion before we are completely turned into stones. If anyone is worried about encountering them in the dungeon, as long as they cover their body with inorganic substances, they don’t have to worry about being petrified. But the best way to deal with Cockatrice is still to have companions by your side.”Please vote for this novel at
