Chapter 193 Taking Life and Death Lightly

为梦色秋天万赏加更。

****

Three days later, in the forest outside Mission Point Number Two.

A team of two men and two women, laden with spoils, were heading towards Mission Point Number Two when they spotted several figures in the woods.

Leading the team was a tall, heroic-looking young man. He raised his hand, his Green Dragon Crescent Blade held horizontally in front of him, and the entire team halted.

"Ambush!" Wu Haoyang announced, his bright, tiger-like eyes scanning the distant figures. He felt a surge of disdain; their ambush was poorly executed, revealing too much.

Or was it not an ambush?

Was it a blatant robbery?

Tsk, tsk, how outrageous!

Daring to provoke him, were they asking for trouble?

"Hey you! What are you doing standing there?" Wu Haoyang's booming voice drew the attention of the distant figures.

Behind Wu Haoyang, the round-faced Qian Zhuang clutched a bundle of tied-up yellow weapons, his expression wary as he peered into the distance. The more he looked, the more anxious he became. What were so many people doing here?

Two teams?

No, there were ten people, at least three teams! Were they illegally teaming up?

The men and women at the edge of the forest looked disheveled and dejected, some with panic in their eyes.

This surprised Wu Haoyang. "One of you, come out and talk!" he demanded.

The students in front exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.

"Hey!" Wu Haoyang roared, brandishing his crescent blade and pointing it at the crowd. "If no one wants to talk, then get out of the way! If you block my path again, don't blame me for being rude!"

The students glared at Wu Haoyang, but those who had been about to speak now parted, letting the team pass.

"Heh," Wu Haoyang smirked, a carefree smile on his face as he strode forward, his crescent blade in hand.

Behind him trailed Qian Zhuang, the pack mule, and two identical young women.

An Youyou's eyes darted around as she walked with the team, her voice soft and糯糯, "Hey? What are you all doing here? What happened?"

"Yeah, what are you doing here?" An Luming chimed in, batting her big eyes and looking curiously at the "refugees."

As it turns out,

Youthful beauty is a powerful weapon.

Even though these students were resentful of Wu Haoyang's overbearing attitude, some of the male students couldn't help but respond to the two cute girls.

"There's a team in the forest ahead, from Jiangbin Third High, a seeded team."

"They've already robbed weapons and badges from many teams."

"They've forced a lot of students to drop out of the competition."

"Why don't you join us? We're waiting for one or two more teams to form a group and take back our spoils?"

"Yeah, girls, if you go in there, they'll probably steal all your weapons and badges. All your hard work will be for nothing."

"Damn it, those cowards inside, the team from Second High left unscathed, they weren't robbed at all..."

Hearing the students' clamoring voices, Wu Haoyang's temper flared.

Wu Haoyang was an upright man, with a fiery personality.

Hearing that there was robbery going on, and that it was "bullying the weak and fearing the strong," Wu Haoyang was immediately displeased. "Dare to rob me? I'll give them a piece of my mind! You all stay here, I'm going to go deal with them!"

The students watched Wu Haoyang's arrogant display, their feelings a mix of emotions.

Was this kid really that cocky!?

They had gathered together because they wanted to support each other and meet their needs.

But this newcomer, was he going to fight against the evil forces single-handedly?

Was he going to risk his life?

"Brother, we should team up."

"Yeah, don't be rash..."

One male student, filled with resentment, spoke sarcastically, "Great hero, good luck! A lot of teams have been eliminated, don't you 'die' on this road too."

"Yeah, yeah, you should stay here, we'll wait for two more teams and then go in together to take back our spoils."

"Come on, he looks so brave, he doesn't need our help."

The team passed through the crowd of students, hearing nothing but idle chatter.

An Luming was immediately unhappy and shouted, "What are you saying? Especially you guys, are you even men? If you don't have the ability, just shut your mouths."

An Youyou quickly tugged at her sister's arm, not wanting to provoke the crowd.

This An Luming was clearly not one to suffer in silence. Despite her cute appearance, her tongue was sharp as a knife, and she didn't hold back when she insulted people.

Qian Zhuang, who had trouble speaking, couldn't stand it any longer, but his abilities were limited.

When he heard An Luming's quick-witted retort, he immediately felt relieved, and even couldn't help but fart...

Ah, satisfying!

The crowd of people was angered by the ponytail girl's mockery and began to shout insults.

"What did you say!?"

"Say that again!?"

"You little b..."

At the front of the team, Wu Haoyang, who had already walked far away, turned around and walked back to the sisters. He pushed them behind him with his left hand and swung his crescent blade with his right.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind swept through, stirring the dense forest, blowing up leaves, and the students were blown off balance like weeds in the wind.

Wu Haoyang slammed his crescent blade into the ground, creating a small crater, and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

The students adjusted their scattered hair and clothes. They never expected that this heroic young man was really a hothead who was willing to fight so many people.

Could it be that this young man really had the strength?

Was he on the same level as the robbers inside?

Before the students could respond, Wu Haoyang roared again, "Retreat! Or fight!"

An Luming clenched her fist and covered her chest, murmuring, "Oh my god, this guy is trying to kill me with his handsomeness..."

An Youyou glared at her sister and nudged her reproachfully.

One student swallowed nervously and subconsciously took a step back.

One person retreated,

And then everyone else followed.

Wu Haoyang snorted and turned to leave with his teammates. By the time their figures disappeared into the distance, the students hadn't said another word.

Among the students, a thin young man's face changed several times. After hesitating for a long time, he left the group and followed from a distance...

Wu Haoyang, of course, took the lead, followed by Qian Zhuang carrying a bundle of yellow weapons, and behind them were two identical, charming girls. The four-person team walked straight towards Mission Point Number Two without stopping, without fear.

The team walked for more than ten minutes when Wu Haoyang discovered signs of a fight.

But if they followed the traces of the battle, they would deviate from the direction of Mission Point Number Two.

Wu Haoyang carefully observed for a while, then turned to look at the An sisters, his face inquisitive.

An Youyou pursed her lips and said, "Since they didn't block our path, there's no need for us to take the risk. Let's just focus on completing the mission."

An Luming was immediately unhappy. "Hey? Sister, they robbed so many things, we have to do our part to help the people!"

An Youyou said quietly, "You're just eyeing the spoils they stole."

An Luming smiled sheepishly, her little scheme exposed, and protested, "Sister!"

Was she the younger sister or the older sister...?

Did the way she addressed her sister change depending on her mood?

An Luming: "Sister, let's go! Although the other side's strength is not bad, we're not pushovers either. We'll take back all the spoils and make sure we advance! Today is the last day, and the competition ends in 12 hours."

An Youyou was slightly moved. To ensure advancement, of course, the more spoils the better. She looked at Qian Zhuang and said, "That seeded team from Third High, if there are no accidents, it should be Zhang Mingming's team, what do you say?"

Qian Zhuang opened his mouth, but after a long time, he said, "N-n-n-n..."

An Luming said, "No problem! Let's do it!"

Qian Zhuang's face flushed with anxiety, "N-n-n-n..."

An Luming nodded. "It's no big deal! Let's do it!"

Qian Zhuang's face was red, and his round cheeks were about to drip with blood.

An Youyou grabbed An Luming's ponytail and yanked it hard, scolding, "Let him finish talking!"

An Luming leaned back, staggered, and looked at her sister with a resentful expression, whispering, "By the time he finishes talking, the team will have run away..."

Qian Zhuang finally squeezed out the last word, "N-n-n... don't go!"

Wu Haoyang suddenly stood up, holding his blade, and said, "We're not going to them, but they're coming to us."

"Huh?" Qian Zhuang subconsciously backed away.

The sisters looked into the distance at the same time and saw a familiar face.

Although the two teams had never met, they both knew a lot about each other's team information.

Although the sisters' personalities were somewhat different, their actions were surprisingly consistent.

The two tilted their heads to the left at the same time, their bright eyes blinking as they sized up the figures in the depths of the forest.
