1358: Inviting Danger

Inviting Danger

Xu Wei and Wu Bukui looked appalled. Xu Wei, especially, since she was the loudest in doubting Yun Jian just now; when Yun Jian told her "feel free to go if you want", she was already planning to pick up her foot and step forward, thinking how could the ground be a swamp when it looked flat and who was Yun Jian trying to fool?1

Before Xu Wei could move forward, however, Yun Jian had thrown a huge rock to the front and the ground that seemed nothing out of the ordinary swallowed the rock. 

It was a swamp! This was what a swamp was! Yun Jian was right!

If Yun Jian had thrown the stone into the swamp just one moment slower, Xu Wei would be doomed once she set foot on the swamp!

Everyone was instantly frightened.

A student from Woolim Military School had even cried, "How is this possible? Didn't the drillmasters say that there won't be any danger? How come there's a swamp here? This is impossible, this—"

"Anything's possible. This forest isn't as simple as it seems. Leave now if you can't take it." Yun Jian threw the Woolim Military School student who was causing a ruckus an icy glance.

It made the student shudder before he yelled, "I'm not going on with this! This is toying with our lives!"

He pressed the button once he yelled, choosing to quit the competition. It was too dangerous here! They could die here anytime!

Within ten minutes, a military helicopter arrived and took the student away.

There were several more guys from Woolim Military School who voluntarily quitted the competition but no one from Yun Jian's school opted to do the same.

When those who chose to give up left, Yun Jian turned to tell the others, "Those who can't stand me and don't believe me, we part ways here. I don't have the duty to take you guys along. All the best."

Yun Jian waved for Mu Ying and Lin Yuan the moment she finished talking. 

Xu Wei dared not say more even when what Yun Jian said obviously meant them. The students from Woolim Military School wanted to go with Yun Jian but were unable to forgo their pride, so they made their way toward the left being led by Wu Bukui.

The students from Min City Military School stood still.

"I'll stay with Yingying." This was Leng Hanzhe's intention.

"Let's go together. We can only win by working together and it's quite dangerous here. I think Yun Jian's more knowledgeable in terms in outdoor survival, so we'll have her do us a favor and lead the way. It's for the glory of our school too," Wen Peiling spoke up immediately after Leng Hanzhe.

"You can follow me but you're not allowed to doubt my judgment or you leave." This was Yun Jian's principle as she stated it coldly without an expression standing before everyone.

"She's just a little better and she really thinks she's—" Lin Shuya was a little pissed and started muttering when Wen Peiling covered her mouth at once.

"Alright, we listen to Yun Jian from now on. Anyone who has an opinion or thinks they're more capable, go on your own!" Leng Hanzhe was the oldest out of the group, so his words were somehow authoritative.

No one actually dared say another word and all of them trekked toward the opposite direction of where Woolim Military School students had left in.

After walking for about half an hour, there were cries for help that grew louder from behind them. It was audible that it was Woolim Military School students who were sprinting toward them as they cried for help, causing Leng Hanzhe and his schoolmates to frown.

"Ah! They're catching up! So many snakes! What do we do! I don't want to stay in this stupid place anymore! It'll kill us! Argh!"

"F*ck, run! Hurry and run!"

Had the students from Woolim Military School invited danger over? Yun Jian furrowed her brows.
