“Sigh! This Mo Chu is really Godly!”
At this moment, Mo Chu and the others, who were in the Magical Region, were all on tenterhooks. They did not know that there were several pairs of eyes outside, watching their every move.
“How did she know that this box is the mechanism to turn off the throwing knives?” A baby-faced soldier came closer, his eyes revealing some curiosity.
Thinking back, they had all been thrown into this Magical Region, and they had even tasted the endless layers of traps and traps. They had been tormented until they could not take it anymore! They had thought that this group of little fellows would definitely suffer a little when they were thrown in. However, they did not expect that they were actually quite sharp, which was beyond their expectations.
“Didn’t she say so?” Another soldier with a sunny face couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he heard that. “This is all just intuition.”
“Tch! You believe that?” The baby-faced soldier rolled his eyes at him and pursed his lips. “It’s because of this that you’re still single.”
Damn, could it not involve personal attacks?
“Alright.” Before the two of them started to fight, the soldier with a serious expression glared at them and shifted his gaze to the man sitting in the corner. His tone had a rare fluctuation, “Old Guan, has Mo Chu broken your record?”
Guan Sheng could not help but look up at Mo Chu on the screen. His eyes flashed. “That’s right.”
What?
The soldier with a baby face was surprised. “Is Mo Chu the fastest to find this trap?”
Although there were only five of them in this army, they were all elites! Any one of them could cause an explosive sensation, and it would be easy for them to fight against 100 people.
Guan Sheng was the expert in creating traps in this army. Sometimes, he could win a battle without using a single soldier. Naturally, he was the one who created the traps in the training Magical Region.
“I’m 25 minutes and 30 seconds faster than you.” looking at the terminal, Guan Sheng said indifferently.
“Well…” Hearing that, the soldier with baby eyes immediately stopped talking and just glared at him. This kid seemed to be silent, and his mouth was full of venom!
“However,” the soldier with baby face suddenly revealed some gossip. “It’s rare to see you pay special attention to a woman! Tsk tsk, but it’s a pity, Mo Chu belongs to Marshal Ning!”
Guan Sheng did not say much. He only gave him a cold glance, which was enough to express his contempt. What was this seemingly innocent boy thinking about?
“Okay, don’t think too much. Guan Sheng is a piece of cold steel. Do you still think that he will fall in love with you?” The serious-looking soldier raised his eyebrows slightly and could not help but smile.
“That’s true.” The soldier nodded. “It’s a pity that I still like soft girls. Otherwise, we could have been partners.”
Guan Sheng’s forehead twitched. What kind of people did he meet? At this moment, the terminal in his hand rang.
“What’s wrong? You can’t relax after just coming here?” Guan Sheng walked out of the room and looked at his old friend on the other side of the screen. His silent face was the same as usual, but there was a hint of mockery in his tone.
“How is she? Can she adapt?” Ning Yiyuan’s eyes revealed a rare hint of anxiety.
“Don’t worry.” Guan Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly. “Her performance is very good.”
At least compared to the other people’s performance, Mo Chu could be considered outstanding.
“That’s good.” Hearing this, Ning Yiyuan could not help but smile. “I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on her for me. I absolutely can’t let anything happen to her!”
Hearing the seriousness in Ning Yiyuan’s words, Guan Sheng nodded slightly. “But I think you’re overthinking it. Mo Chu should be doing very well.”
“I know.” Ning Yiyuan nodded, and a hint of pride appeared in his eyes. “She has always been the best!”
“Alright, stop showing off your love in front of me!” Guan Sheng gave Ning Yiyuan a disdainful look and reached out to turn off the video call. However, he could not help but smile.
Ning Yiyuan had always been very calm. Even when he was named the only Marshal of the Federation, he did not show any signs of pride. However, after hearing Mo Chu’s performance, he actually lost his usual calmness. He had really… fallen deep into this!
As he thought about it, Guan Sheng could not help but smile and shake his head.
However, through the door, looking at Mo Chu’s performance on the light screen, Guan Sheng could not help but nod. This girl was indeed not bad!
In the Magical Region.
The deeper Mo Chu and the others went, the more they realized that the Ground Blasts and throwing knife traps they had encountered were just small cases! In the end, they directly upgraded to even more powerful projectiles and fine needles that had been dipped in poison. This was what made it so hard to guard against!
For the entire afternoon, they had to maintain a high degree of vigilance. They were constantly tensed up. They had to think twice before they dared to take a step. Under such circumstances, they still had to hunt magical beasts and magical plants under such circumstances. They were risking their lives!
Moreover, they strongly suspected that the magical beasts and magical plants in the Magical Region had been plundered and driven away. After walking for so long, they did not even see a single hair!
F*ck!
“What are they playing at?” Qin Yue wiped the beads of sweat on his head. He felt that he had never been so tired before. His heart was filled with exhaustion. He had no choice but to forcefully raise his spirits. If this intensity continued, the three bottles of energy fluid in their hands would not last long.
“Little Chu, are you alright?” Mo Yang had already drunk a bottle of energy fluid. At this moment, he could not help but reveal some worry in his eyes as he looked at Mo Chu.
“I’m alright.” Mo Chu nodded and poured the water in his hand into the empty energy fluid bottle. “You guys should drink some too.”
“Aye!” Qin Yue replied, then gulped down the water in one gulp. The gulping sound made the people behind him swallow their saliva!
It had been an entire day, yet Qiao Hongmei and the others had not touched a drop of water. In addition to the hot weather, their throats were burning hot! However, the key point was that apart from Mo Chu, not a single one of them was a water-attribute special ability user. After all, water-attribute special abilities were known to be of little value. Their lethality was too weak, so they were not able to enter the ranks of the elites at all. Who would have thought that they would actually come in handy at this time?!
“Um, Mo Yang,” a man who was extremely thirsty walked forward, his eyes imploring. “Can you give me some water?”
Actually, he was really too embarrassed to say this. After all, the moment they entered the Magical Region, they had taken advantage of Qin Yue and the others. When they encountered flying daggers, they only cared about themselves. Now, even water…
“Don’t think about it! How could they be so kind?” Qiao Hongmei’s throat was so hot that it was almost smoking. Even though she said that, her eyes were fixed on the energy fluid bottle filled with water in Mo Yang’s hand.
“I’m sorry,” facing the man’s expectant gaze, Mo Yang said coldly, “I can’t help you.”
When the man who was feeling guilty a moment ago heard this, the trace of guilt instantly disappeared without a trace. Instead, he looked like he was filled with righteous indignation, “Mo Yang, your words are too mean! We are clearly from the same Military Academy, and your sister is a water-element special ability user. So what if we give everyone a drink at this time?”
“That’s right!”
“That’s right, this is too stingy!”
…
The people behind could not help but grumble, their complaints rising and falling one after another.
“What nonsense are you guys talking about?” How Could Qin Yue, who was so hot-tempered, listen to these words? He glared angrily, “You usually act like a dog, but now you’re showing your true colors?”
“You want us to be spies while you guys walk safely behind us? When the throwing knives were in chaos, you didn’t even say anything, and now you dare to ask us to give you water? On what basis?!”
The 20 elites selected by the Military Academy were mostly the descendants of various large families. They usually received good resources, and in addition, their talent was not bad. Their cultivation naturally rose faster than the average person. It was just that this temperament… Qin Yue shook his head, his face was full of contempt.
“Mo Chu, what do you say?” Someone had targeted Mo Chu. She was a girl, so she should not reject them, right?
Unfortunately, this person’s idea was wrong again.
Mo Chu slightly raised her eyes, and her gaze was slightly cold. “Take a look for yourself. How many people do you have? And how much water can I provide?”
Mo Chu thought very clearly. With so many people, it was unlikely that she could rely on her special abilities to provide water. Even if they squeezed her abilities dry, it would be impossible. Moreover, if they were to only provide them with water, once they encountered danger, could she expect these people to protect her? That was too unrealistic!
Mo Chu’s question was realistic, but it also caused them to be unable to help but be speechless.
“Let’s continue walking in.” Mo Chu no longer paid attention to Qiao Hongmei and the others. Instead, she turned her gaze towards the depths of the Magical Region. With her constitution, she was unable to consume Federation food, but as long as she captured a magical beast, she would be able to produce food. This was more useful than anything else!
“Alright.” Mo Yang also understood this point.
Hence, the group continued on their way under the scorching sun.
After walking for a while, Qin Yue glanced back and his mouth could not help but shrink. “This group of people are really thick-skinned, sticking at the back and not leaving!”
“Of course.” Mo Chu chuckled. “We are a free pathfinder, how could they be willing to lose us?”
“Up ahead!” Mo Yang suddenly let out a low growl. His hand pointed straight ahead, his eyes revealing surprise.
Following Mo Yang’s gaze, Qin Yue and Mo Chu could not help but be delighted! That’s great! After walking for so long, the sky was about to turn dark. Finally, they saw a magical beast!
They found food!
In their ecstasy, the special abilities in their hands poured down like flowing water!
Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle!
However, the magical beast was clearly not an easy target.
With its two hoofs, it jumped out of their attack circle. Seeing it escape, several people fell their hearts ache!
Out of the corner of her eye, Mo Chu saw a few large magical plants. She could not help but give Mo Yang a look.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. They jumped onto the magical plants on both sides at the same time and chased after them with large strides. Unfortunately, the speed of this magical beast was obviously much faster than theirs. In just a few breaths’ time, all that was left was a blurry back view.
“Aiya! The prey flew away!” Qiao Hongmei still held a grudge against Mo Chu! Seeing them like this, she could not help but mock them in a low voice.
Qin Yue was still standing where he was. Hearing this, he wanted to immediately go up and give this woman a tight slap! How could there be such an annoying girl?
Right at this moment, a loud sound suddenly came from ahead! With a rumble, the entire ground seemed to be trembling!
Qin Yue’s brows furrowed!
“Aiya,” Qiao Hongmei’s eyes raised slightly, and her tone was filled with mockery, “Did they step on a Ground Blast or an Energy Bomb? Tsk tsk… how tragic!”
“Shut up!” Qin Yue glared fiercely at Qiao Hongmei. How was this possible? Mo Chu and the rest… he didn’t believe it!
“What, do you still want to hit me?” At the thought of Mo Chu being killed, Qiao Hongmei felt extremely refreshed! That’s right, as long as Mo Chu was dead, the Qiao Family would be to regain their former glory!
“So what if I hit you…?” Seeing Qiao Hongmei’s arrogant look, Qin Yue could not help but feel angry. Just as he was about to walk toward her, he suddenly heard a shout, “Qin Yue, Look!”
It was Mo Chu!
Hearing the shout, Qin Yue immediately turned around.
The two of them were carrying the magical beast from before, walking back carefully!
“How are you guys? Are you okay?” The noise from before was very loud. It was definitely the sound of a bomb being detonated. The power was not small either!
“Don’t worry, we’re fine.” Mo Chu wiped the blood stains on her face and lifted the magical beast in her hand happily. “This guy stepped on an Energy Bomb!”
At first, they thought they could only watch the magical beast escape, but they did not expect it to be so unlucky to step on an Energy Bomb. Fortunately, the magical beast’s fur was tough and only exploded into two pieces, which was a good thing for them.
Hearing Mo Chu’s explanation, Qin Yue could not help but widen his eyes. Damn! He could not believe it!
“As expected of Lucky Star, Mo Chu. Her luck is too good!” As he said that, he rolled his eyes at Qiao Hongmei and the others behind him! He was still thinking about how something had happened to Little Chu and the others. Why did he not think about how this was possible?
Qiao Hongmei, who was behind him, naturally heard this as well. She could not help but feel indignant in her heart. How could this girl’s luck be so good?
On the other side, Mo Chu and the other two no longer had the time to bother with them. They were busy with their work.
Speaking of which, their combination was very efficient. Mo Chu tidied up the magical beast and washed it clean with water. Qin Yue was in charge of providing the source of the fire. Mo Yang was skillful in his hands. He immediately piled up the firewood and prepared the skewers. Just like that, a crude version of barbeque appeared out of nowhere!
Mo Chu used a dagger to cut the meat into thin slices. She pierced them through the skewers and placed them on the fire to roast. The little bit of oil exploded. Just the sound of it made one’s mouth water.
Qin Yue stared at the skewers without blinking. His eyes were shining! “Wow! It smells so good!”
The few people behind could not help but widen their eyes in surprise when they saw Mo Chu’s action.
After all, these magical beasts were poisonous. Was Mo Chu not afraid that something bad would happen if she ate them just like that?
On the other hand, Qiao Hongmei’s mind worked even faster. Her eyes lit up slightly. “Could this be the Spirit Food that Mo Chu made?”
She had eaten the Spirit Food once before, and its fragrance was somewhat similar to the Spirit Food from before, at this moment, she naturally quickly connected the dots.
Qiao Hongmei’s low mutter was naturally heard by the others, and everyone could not help but be stunned!
What, could this be Spirit Food? Their pupils dilated from the shock!
One had to know that Spirit Food was a bestseller right now, yet Mo Chu only had a small amount of it, and it had been hyped up to a sky-high price! Now, Mo Chu was making the Spirit Food right in front of them. Who could suppress the desire in their hearts? All of them stared forward with their eyes wide open. They wished they could imprinted Mo Chu’s actions in their minds!
As long as they learned how to make Spirit Food, what would they worry about in the future?! The reason why Mo Chu was so powerful now was because she had this ultimate skill in her hands!
“Hey! What are you all looking at!” The sneaky looks of the people behind them naturally fell into Qin Yue’s eyes. That sturdy and strong body suddenly stood up and instantly blocked Mo Chu completely. Hmph! Did they want to secretly learn from Mo Chu? No way!
Staring at Qin Yue’s tall body, Qiao Hongmei and the others gnashed their teeth in hatred, but they could not say anything to refute him!
One had to know that even ordinary medicinal pill recipes were closely guarded, let alone Spirit Food that could be called a priceless treasure!
“It’s alright.” Mo Chu smiled and shook her head. “Even if they saw it, it would be useless.”
If this Spirit Food was really so easy to make, would there still be anything for her to do? One had to know that every magical beast and every magical plant had different places where they were poisonous. If they were not careful, they could easily be poisoned. This was not a joke!
“Oh, oh.” Upon hearing this, Qin Yue thought for a moment and sat down with a smile in his eyes. “Then let them look at it. They will die of hunger!”
Indeed, Qiao Hongmei and the others behind him were dying of hunger!
As the temperature increased, the aroma of the roasted meat became more and more enticing. It drifted far away with the wind!
This was completely different from the taste of Federation food. Just smelling it made them feel as if their saliva was continuously flowing out. They could not stop it.
“Are you done?” Qin Yue licked his lips and stared at the roasted meat with sparkling eyes!
“Yes.” Mo Chu nodded in amusement and passed a portion of the roasted meat to Qin Yue. “Eat it quickly!”
If she still did not give this fellow a taste, the saliva at the corner of his mouth would probably drip down to the ground. This large piece of roasted meat would be contaminated by his saliva.
“Alright.” Qin Yue didn’t hesitate and swiftly agreed. Then, he fed the still steaming roasted meat to his mouth and chewed it slightly. The oil and the unique fragrance of the roasted meat splattered out together. The taste was simply superb!
Mo Chu sliced this piece of meat very thin. Although there were no seasonings, the tenderness and freshness of the meat were highlighted!
It was only at this moment that Qin Yue finally understood why his Family Head could not put it down after only tasting it once. There was no other reason. It was simply too delicious! Compared to this, the shriveled Federation food from before was just like a pile of sh*t, totally unedible.
The three of them had eaten more than half of an entire magical beast!
“Gulp –”
Other than Qiao Hongmei and the others, the soldiers outside who were observing them were also staring at the roasted meat in their hands. Even though they were separated by the screen, they seemed to be able to feel the fragrance of this roasted meat, their throats twitched uncontrollably.
They could not help but feel annoyed in their hearts. Damn it! This kid’s eating style was too fierce! He just stuffed a few pieces of meat straight into his mouth. They were all munching on th meat. That intoxicated look of theirs simply made them envious! It was really too detestable!
