1890: Caving In

Caving In

Zhou Danjin gave this student a gratified look as he exchanged glances with Wei Xu: This child is finally thinking to improve herself, right?1

Qiao Mu ran all the way to the area behind Duanmu Qing and the others. However, she took out the small cloth sack from her pocket and squatted on the ground to dig through the zombie corpses for cores.

The two proctors' eyelids jerked, and they promptly disappeared from the spot to spare themselves from the sight.

Qiao Mu was criticizing in her mind while picking up the battle spoils: These zombies aren't that good. There are only around a dozen cores out of more than a hundred zombies. Tsk, such bad quality.

Zhou Danjin didn't know what he should say to her anymore.

He had thought that this lass had finally been enlightened and wanted to join her teammates in battle, yet the result—

She was freakin' being a professional scavenger!

Finally, the battle concluded after half an hour.

Besides Qiao Mu's team, the other two teams they encountered at the assembly place had also joined the battle.

Rather, You Xin's group had been shielded by their head mentor the whole time and had not entered battle.

Qi Xuanxuan observed them curiously before laughing out loud. "Yo, how pampered are you to be hiding behind your mentor! Then what's the use of coming out for practical training? You might as well hurry back home to drink milk."

Everyone: "…"

Xuanxuan this lass. The other party was already keeping their mouths shut, yet she had to go provoke them!

Since You Xin was not someone who could tolerate provocations, she promptly jumped up and snapped, "What'd you say? You still needed this long to kill a hundred or so zombies with this many people! You people aren't all that excellent either!"

"It's better than being a coward." The little fatty turned around and harrumphed.

"You!!" You Xin was hopping mad, and she turned to point at Qiao Mu. "She didn't do anything either!"

"It's you who didn't do anything!" Miss Qiao promptly rebutted in defiance while lifting up the small cloth sack in her hand. "If I didn't do anything, would these cores run into this sack by themselves?"

Dummies would always be dummies. She felt exhausted whenever she had to clarify herself unnecessarily!

Everyone: "…"

Qi Xuanxuan burst out in laughter and ran to hug Qiao Mu's shoulder. "That's right! We won't talk to dummies."

Just as You Xin was about to erupt, an earth-shaking tremor came from the depths of the forest.

Everybody felt as if their eardrums were about to burst, and they rocked back and forth with the earthquake.

"F*ck, what the hell are those morons doing inside!" Ma Ta got knocked to a tree in a lapse of attention, having to quickly hug the tree.

RRRumble!!

The loud sounds didn't stop. It was as if something had exploded in the depths of the forest, and that they were suffering from the aftershock. Everybody could tell that the situation wasn't looking good.

If it was an ordinary spiritual energy sphere detonation, the resulting disturbance absolutely wouldn't be this widespread.

"Ah!!" You Xin suddenly screamed, "The, the ground!!"

Everybody looked down and started cursing in their minds.

Oh my f*cking god, the ground was cracking from the earthquake!

"Run!!" Someone yelled, and the group promptly pushed themselves to the limit to fly up into the sky above the forest.

Qiao Mu quickly swallowed a flight pill and also popped one into Mo Lian's mouth. As the two of them flew up into the air, they saw Mentor Wei Xu calling for the students to board his aerial centipede.

However, as they were in the middle of a dense forest, the aerial centipede barely made it out after nearly getting knocked down by a barrage of broken branches.

"Hover, hover, everybody hover in the air!"
