Chapter 323 - Panic!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Why can’t we eat it?” Qiao Hongmei looked at the few people in front of him who were eating with relish. His eyes moved. “If we don’t eat it, this magical beast will be wasted and we won’t be able to exchange it for energy fluid.”

Hearing this, the man could not help but react.

Exactly! If we don’t eat this thing, won’t we suffer a great loss?!

Qiao Hongmei stared at him and ate the roasted meat in her hand.

When the man saw this, he hardened his heart and lowered his head to take a bite. This roasted meat was not considered delicious. Due to the high temperature, the meat had already charred. It was dry when chewed, it was completely different from the roasted meat made by Mo Chu and the others.

He forcefully swallowed the roasted meat in his mouth. The man’s eyes could not help but shine. “This thing is really good, it can…”

Before he could finish speaking, the man’s face suddenly turned purple. With a thud, he suddenly fell down!

What was going on?

Qiao Hongmei stood up abruptly. Her expression changed and she hurriedly spat out the roasted meat in her mouth! She could not help but sigh in her heart. Fortunately, she was only pretending just now and did not chew or swallow the meat. Otherwise, she would have been poisoned!

A few other men were picking up the dried twigs by the side. When they heard the unusual movement, they immediately ran over.

“Oh no, he’s poisoned!” A man quickly half-squatted down and carefully examined the man lying on the ground, and his eyes darkened. Without a doubt, this poison was caused by eating the meat of a magical beast.

“F*ck! Fortunately, I was one step too slow!” Another man fiercely threw the dried branch in his hands onto the ground, his face was filled with joy. When his gaze landed on Qiao Hongmei beside him, he could not help but freeze. “Didn’t you say that it was the same as Mo Chu’s technique? What’s going on now?”

Qiao Hongmei, who was trying to spit everything out of her mouth, stood up straight. When she met the man’s questioning gaze, she raised her chin angrily, “Are you blaming me? The strength of my knife is no different from Mo Chu’s. Even if there’s something wrong with the roast meat, it should have something to do with the roast meat!”

In fact, Qiao Hongmei’s heart was pounding. Her actions were clearly the same as Mo Chu’s. How could there be a completely different result?

“What, are you trying to shirk responsibility?” Looking at the man who was on the verge of death on the ground, the others could not help but have ugly expressions on their faces, “If it wasn’t for you, Qiao Hongmei, who insisted on making this magical beast into a Spirit Food, we could have waited until tomorrow to change it into energy solution. How could this situation have happened?”

“Humph! Don’t think that everyone else doesn’t know what you’re thinking!” Qiao Hongmei had always been pampered by others. How could she bear this insult now? She might as well tear off all pretenses and pierce through the layer of hypocrisy between the crowd sharply. “If you all didn’t want the Spirit Food, can my words count for anything?”

At this moment, they wanted to push all the blame onto her? In her dreams!

“You, you…” They would be lying if they said they did not have such thoughts! However, no one had expected Qiao Hongmei to reveal the crux of the matter in a single sentence. It had even struck a nerve in their hearts. After a moment of silence, everyone could not help but look at each other, feeling awkward and awkward in their hearts.

“What nonsense are you spouting!” At this moment, a man suddenly jumped out. It was unknown whether he was angry or embarrassed, but his face was flushed red, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. When he looked at Qiao Hongmei, his fists were tightly clenched.

“What, are you going to attack me?” Qiao Hongmei raised her eyebrows and glanced at the man coldly. “Someone like you?”

This raise of his hand and every move of his were full of contempt and contempt. How many men could endure this kind of mockery?

His anger was even more intense, and the man’s eyes were red from holding it in! He strode forward and was about to make a move on Qiao Hongmei when another man stopped him and advised him in a low voice, “Alright, just bear with it. If you make a move on her now, she’ll report you to the higher-ups when we get out. Aren’t you just wasting your time?”

Qiao Hongmei naturally heard this and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at the man, letting out a cold snort.

Seeing her stance, the anger that the man had managed to suppress with much difficulty immediately flared up again. He extended his long arm and pushed the man who was blocking him back fiercely, rolling up his two sleeves, “I’ll go! So what if she sues me?! I’ll definitely avenge myself today!”

Qiao Hongmei suddenly froze. Before the man made his move, her hand swiftly gathered momentum, and a blazing fireball directly shot towards the man’s body.

“Be careful!” No one had expected Qiao Hongmei to strike first and gain the upper hand. Moreover, her attack was swift and fierce. She did not give anyone any leeway at all. When the man beside her saw this, he could not help but furrow his brows!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Just as the fireball was about to hit the man’s body, he suddenly heard a bang. An Earth Shield appeared in the man’s hand and coincidentally blocked the fireball. With a forceful collision, the fireball that was rising with flames was scattered. “Humph! You’re not slow at all.”

Qiao Hongmei’s expression turned serious when she heard that. She did not want to be outdone and shot several fireballs at different parts of the man’s body! She did not believe that the man could dodge all of them!

..

Bang, bang, bang!

The sound of the fight naturally reached the ears of Mo Chu and the others.

“Hey!” Qin Yue took a big bite of the roasted meat in his mouth. Feeling the taste of the fat exploding in his mouth, he narrowed his eyes happily. “What are they arguing about at this wonderful moment?”

“What else could it be?” Mo Yang did not even turn his head and added indifferently, “It’s just a dog-eat-dog situation!”

“Yes, you’re right!” Qin Yue put the roasted meat in his hand into his mouth methodically. After chewing it, he did not forget to lick the grease on his hand. His stingy look made Mo Chu and Mo Yang laugh.

“Alright, we’re almost done eating.” Qin Yue clapped his hands and stroked his slightly puffed belly in satisfaction. “I can’t miss this exciting time. You guys eat first, I’ll go take a look.”

Mo Chu lowered her head and looked at the bare skeleton of the magical beast. She could not help but chuckle. What else could she eat? Shaking his head, Mo Chu stood up. “Let’s go. I’ll go with you. Think of it as a walk after dinner.”

“That would be great!” Qin Yue nodded and walked towards Qiao Hongmei’s campsite in high spirits,

looking at the two figures, Mo Yang’s lips curled up slightly. After adding a few dried branches to the bonfire, he silently followed behind them.

The closer they got, the clearer they heard the commotion.

“Qiao Hongmei, it’s almost enough!”

“That’s right. Do you really want to beat him to death?”

“Humph!” Qiao Hongmei’s signature soft voice rang out again, “So what if I beat him to death? He’s just a piece of trash, what’s there to care about?”

“Do you think you’re so great?” A male voice retorted fiercely, “With your current state, you can’t even compare to Mo Chu, and you still want to steal her Spirit Food. Don’t you see how incapable you are?!”

Hearing these words, Qiao Hongmei became even more furious. Her entire body was trembling!

Indeed, before Mo Chu appeared, she was practically the brightest star in the entire Military Academy! The top three in the plant cultivation department. Her outstanding high-level cultivation, coupled with her perfect face and figure, she had practically conquered half of the men in the Military Academy!

However, once she met Mo Chu, she was defeated again and again. She was utterly defeated! The brilliance that was on her head had all been snatched away by Mo Chu!

This woman was her jinx!

At this point in time, she and Mo Chu seemed to have become people from two different worlds. The lass that she had once looked down upon had long stood at the top of the world that she could not peer into! Besides looking up, there seemed to be nothing else she could do…

What humiliation! Qiao Hongmei bit her lip fiercely, her gaze cold and fierce. The person whom she despised had actually become an existence that she could not reach. This kind of humiliation really made her feel painful and sorrowful!

She did not know when it started, but Mo Chu seemed to have become a haze that she could not even hope to defeat. Especially when she put the two of them together, it made her feel extremely awkward!

“With your current appearance, do you still think that you can be compared to Mo Chu?” The man on the opposite side kept talking, “You’re just dreaming!”

“Shut up!” Qiao Hongmei growled fiercely. Her raised eyes were already red. At this moment, she did not even have the time to use her special ability. Instinctively, she picked up the dagger in her arms and stabbed it directly into the man’s heart! Go to hell, go to hell!

“Qiao Hongmei… is she crazy?” Qin Yue and the others saw this scene when they came over. They were all stunned! In this kind of training, it was normal to have competitions and secret fights. However, for someone like her to kill someone, it was probably a disaster!

The people around were also shocked by Qiao Hongmei’s action. None of them could react in time. They just watched the dagger stabbed into the man’s heart, and then blood spurted out with a swoosh, it spilled all over Qiao Hongmei’s face!

After being splashed by the warm blood, Qiao Hongmei slowly reacted. The blood in her eyes gradually faded. When she looked down, she saw that she was holding the dagger tightly in her hand. She could not help but be shocked and took a few steps back while trembling! She had killed many magical beasts. This was the first time she had killed a living person…

“Qiao Hongmei! You’ve really gone crazy!” The others had already reacted. They quickly took off their clothes to cover the man’s bleeding wound, but their hearts could not help but tremble!

How could they blindly trust this woman? Looking at the man in their arms who was bleeding non-stop, and then looking at the guy lying on the ground unconscious after being poisoned, the rest of the men could not help but turn pale. This was the first time they had faced this problem head-on.

“I… I didn’t do it on purpose.” Qiao Hongmei staggered and took a few steps back. Her face was a little pale. After the fight just now, her hair had become messy, and her face was covered with dust and blood. She was in a terrible state. When she raised her head again, she met the angry eyes of the men, her heart could not help but jump!

“They’re all here!” Suddenly, a low murmur sounded, which was especially shocking in the quiet environment. “This is great. I don’t have to look for them one by one.”

What was that?

Mo Chu raised her head and looked at Mo Yang. She frowned.

In the blink of an eye, a cry suddenly sounded, “Where’s Brother Zhang? Where’s Brother Zhang?”

Hearing this, the men could not help but look around. When they looked around, their faces could not help but turn pale, “Brother Zhang, no, he’s gone!”

What do you mean he’s gone?

Qin Yue’s gaze focused. When he recalled the words that had suddenly appeared, his heart suddenly trembled!

“Hurry up and leave!” Mo Chu held Mo Yang’s hand tightly and gave Qin Yue a look. When their gazes met, they took out their fastest speed and ran back.

Although the others did not understand what was going on, when they saw the movements of Mo Chu and the others, they immediately followed the wind and quickly spread out.

“Sigh!” A low sigh sounded in the forest. “They dodged so quickly. The game won’t be fun anymore!”

One after another, a few exclamations suddenly sounded and then quickly broke off. It was as if something was strangling their throats, and they disappeared without a trace.

The horror quickly spread throughout the Magical Region!

Run! Run quickly!

The innate qualities of men and women were different after all. In the beginning, Mo Chu was still pulling Mo Yang to run. In the end, it was Mo Yang and Qin Yue who were pulling Mo Chu along with one hand!

“What the hell is this thing?” Qin Yue’s chest heaved up and down as if he was pulling a bellow. He panted heavily and did not forget to take the time to complain.

“What else could it be?” Mo Chu adjusted her breathing and tried to keep up with the two’s footsteps. “Other than humans, what else could it be?”

Could it be that a magical beast could talk? Then the first one to speak should be her Roundy. After all, this guy had been influenced the most!

“Humans, how is that possible?” Hearing this, Qin Yue could not help but widen his eyes in surprise. His feet were still moving like the wind. How could a human be so fast?

These people had kidnapped someone right under their noses, and there were so many people! They did not reveal any trace at all. This… This was too terrifying!

“Could it be… This is also a training program?” Mo Chu narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in puzzlement. Other than the survival test of the Magical Region, did it also include running from the pursuit of bad people?

“What!?” When he heard this, even the usually calm Mo Yang could not help but raise his eyebrows! No wonder the rumors said that the training was extremely difficult!

Indeed, in this Magical Region that was filled with bombs and traps, just relying on a dagger to hunt magical beasts and magical plants was already a big problem. In addition to the insufficient food supply, it made the mission even more difficult. Now, there were actually people chasing after them. No wonder there were only a few people who could pass this training!

After thinking about it carefully, Qin Yue heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they still had Mo Chu by their side, a fellow who had made many strange moves. With the replenishment of the Spirit Food, their condition improved. Otherwise, when they were in a state of weakness, it would be a wonder if they were not caught by others!

“What a smart girl!” The magnified screen showed Qin Yue and the others’ every move. Upon hearing Mo Chu’s quick judgment, Guan Sheng could not help but show a hint of approval on his face.

“She is indeed clever.” The other soldier nodded in approval.

The cold night wind was accompanied by screams and disappearances. Such a sudden situation would really break people’s mental limits. Once they encountered such a problem, most people could not think of anything other than panic and escape. It was already very difficult for Mo Chu to remain calm at this time. To be able to connect it to training so quickly, one could not help but sigh at the wisdom of this little girl!

“But, why did this Kid go in early?” The soldier with a stern face turned his head and could not help but look a little surprised. According to their usual rules, they would have to give these little guys at least another day or two to get used to it, how could they not be patient this time?

“Humph!” Guan Sheng chuckled. “What other reason could there be? It’s all because of this pungent roasted meat!”

Due to the limited materials, the light screen could not transmit the smell for the time being. However, he could not resist Qin Yue’s infatuated look. Every time he took a bite of the roasted meat, the look on his face was simply unsightly! Occasionally, he would click his tongue and sigh. Even someone like him who did not care about appetite would find it a little gluttonous, let alone others!

“Fine! This is pretty good too.” Hearing this, the serious-faced soldier could not help but smile. “Look at Mo Chu and the others. Those who don’t know better would think that they are out for fun. They don’t look like they are training at all.”

That’s right! Compared to the other teams who were thirsty and hungry, Mo Chu and the other two were enjoying themselves. In just two or three days, these people had figured out the arrangement of the bombs and traps. They were also much faster than the others in hunting magical beasts. Also, with Mo Chu’s pair of smart hands, they ate until their stomachs were full!

The others were so hungry that their faces were yellow, but their faces were even redder than when they first came in!

“That’s right!” Guan Sheng nodded with a smile and looked at the screen again.

Up until now, four people had been caught and thrown out. Of course, their training results had officially been declared a failure!

Now, this Kid seemed to have set his eyes on Qin Yue and the others.

Looking at the three of them running away together, the baby-faced soldier hiding in the dark corner could not help but reveal a hint of mockery in his eyes. Hmph! I’ll catch you first!

With a slight movement of his feet, the baby-faced soldier’s figure rushed out like a gust of wind!

“Ah!” Qin Yue who was running with all his might suddenly felt a chill on his back. He subconsciously dodged to the side and managed to dodge a hand that stretched out from behind in time.

Not bad, he was quite sharp! The baby-faced soldier showed some appreciation on his face, and his figure turned and disappeared in an instant!

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Qin Yue’s strange behavior, Mo Chu and the others could not help but stop their footsteps. They panted heavily, and the three of them stood back to back, looking around cautiously. In the silent Magical Region, only their heavy breathing could be heard.

“It seems like… They have caught up.” Qin Yue’s gaze was slightly focused as he replied in a low voice.

What? Hearing this, Mo Yang and Mo Chu could not help but become more vigilant. The elemental energy in their hands was already secretly brewing. If there was even the slightest movement, it would immediately be released!

Suddenly, a soft ‘plop’ sound tugged at their tensed nerves. The three of them immediately turned their gazes over!
