Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

Chapter 231 Parkour Academy 31

Things went much more smoothly after that, except for the occasional minor, harmless accidents that happened among the group.

Zhang Yang and his two companions still couldn't find any fault with Li Mo, and could only helplessly endure it.

"Stop it. I'll beat them up myself after the match." Li Mo said this while looking away, and Xiao Ruochen almost thought he was hallucinating.

He looked at Li Mo in surprise, then nodded slightly in agreement.

The three people who were originally unlucky suddenly became unlucky, and they were still a little unaccustomed to it.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence, and Li Mo simply forgot today?

After exchanging glances, the group decided to take another look.

A few days later, the three of them finally made their decision, and the arrogant little tyrant of the academy really let the matter drop with a flick of his wrist.

This fact left several people with a surreal, almost unreal feeling.

"It must be because of the competition! Su Jinyu is right, even the best players are afraid of being stabbed in the back by their teammates."

As soon as Liu Siyu finished speaking, she noticed that the other people were all staring at her.

"I still have basic moral principles, and I would never stoop to stabbing someone in the back."

"I'm not that kind of person either." They all spoke righteously, as if they were the only ones who were corrupt and depraved.

"What do you mean by that? You're all good people, and only I would stab someone in the back?" Liu Siyu was furious.

"We didn't mean that, don't overthink it."

"It's just one sentence. Girls are such a hassle." The person who spoke was then met with glares from the others, followed by silence.

"I never expected Li Mo to be so sensible," Zhang Yang suddenly remarked.

"Ahhh! Who is it?" Liu Siyu shouted, jumping up from the ground like a rocket. The others were quite startled by her shout.

"What are you howling about? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Liu Siyu nervously looked around.

Behind them, the trees were deep and lush, with the occasional bird call. Normal, perfectly normal. There was nothing else there besides the four of them.

Zhang Yang stood leaning against a tree, Jiang Wentao squatted beside him, and Shen Zhongran remained as gentle and refined as ever, completely unrelated to any lewd behavior.

Even though the two people were standing closest to each other.

Liu Siyu was both embarrassed and angry. "Who touched my butt just now?"

"Are you crazy? Who touched your butt? Don't you even know what you look like? If anyone should touch you, it should be someone else..." Jiang Wentao was kicked and shut his mouth in annoyance.

Shen Zhongran gave the two of them a meaningful look.

Jiang Wentao chuckled awkwardly. "Well, we've been out for a while now, let's go back." As for Liu Siyu... the two of them were exchanging glances, anyone with eyes could see it. This whole thing was probably just a different kind of public display of affection.

Jiang Wentao stood up, wanting to leave; his legs were still a little numb. It was dinnertime now; if he spoke sweetly, perhaps Chef Zhang would let him try some of the dishes?

"No one is allowed to leave. No one is allowed to leave until the matter is investigated."

Liu Siyu quickly stepped in front of Jiang Wentao.

"Are you crazy? How could anyone touch you from that far away?" Jiang Wentao reached out and pushed the person away, then walked away.

“It wasn’t me either.” Zhang Yang followed.

Liu Siyu stomped her feet angrily.

"Let's stay away from them from now on."

"what's wrong?"

“…It’s nothing,” she said. She couldn’t very well say that both of them had touched her, could she? That wouldn’t hold water.

"I just feel like they're not good people." He said this nonsensically with a straight face.

……

The next day, everyone continued to travel southwest. It was said that there was a large desert in that direction, and once they crossed the desert, this exercise on the desolate planet would be over.

At lunchtime, the second team responsible for scouting the way did not return, and the accompanying mentor was also absent, which clearly indicated that something had happened.

"Three people will stay at the base. Su Jinyu and the others will come with me."

"Those who stay behind, stay alert. Mu Bai, follow." The reason for calling on Mu Bai was because of Li Mo. Seeing his brother caught in the middle wasn't Xiao Ruochen's style.

Li Mo's eyes lit up, and he pulled Mu Bai to catch up with the group.

Qin Baobao was so disgusted that she wanted to beat the person up on the spot. But after much restraint, she finally decided to prioritize the bigger picture.

Jiang Wentao was incredibly unlucky, because they were the ones who were attacked.

At first, the two of them just felt that the surroundings were too quiet. Before they could find anything unusual, Zhang Yang was ambushed by tree roots. Jiang Wentao reacted quickly and immediately used his wood-based ability to grab him.

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhang Yang unleashed his ice-based power, freezing the tree roots. Jiang Wentao released a branch, flicked it lightly, and the tree roots shattered, allowing Zhang Yang to get up from the ground.

The two stood back to back, on guard, in complete silence.

"Did you hear anything?" Jiang Wentao listened intently. Sparse sounds came from all directions, dense and alarming.

The two exchanged a glance, confirming their suspicions.

"run!"

Zhang Yang jumped onto Jiang Wentao's back and used his ice-based abilities to clear a path for the two of them. Jiang Wentao used his wood-based abilities to move nimbly through the jungle.

"If you howl a couple more times, we'll turn into Tarzan."

"Tarzan didn't carry anyone on his back."

"That's Tarzan and his father."

"Roll rough!"

"Hahahaha." Zhang Yang's loud laughter echoed through the jungle, and Xiao Ruochen and the others who were rushing here immediately determined their location.

"Since you're so happy, there shouldn't be any major problems." The anxiety that had been gripping him eased slightly.

When the group arrived, Jiang Wentao and Zhang Yang darted around like rockets, occasionally retaliating. They seemed... to be handling the situation with ease.

"They...are they fighting?" It doesn't look like it.

"Let's take another look?" A group of people stood by and watched the show silently, since the captain hadn't given any orders.

"You're here! Come on, let's help!" Jiang Wentao was the first to spot them.

"Since you two are having so much fun, we won't get involved."

Jiang Wentao was so angry he almost fell backward. "Listen to this! What kind of talk is this? Is there no team spirit left?" Jiang Wentao slipped and almost fell off the tree branch.

Zhang Yang strained his legs to turn the tide single-handedly, but his movements weren't very graceful.

"Are you even speaking human language? We're suffering terribly here, and you're just watching the show and making sarcastic remarks." You're utterly inhuman.

Despite saying that, Jiang Wentao didn't get any closer and continued to hover around.

The tree roots around were also strange. They ignored so many people over there, but they relentlessly chased after two people. They were bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. It seemed that the tree roots had figured them out.

"Zhen Zixuan, Zhen classmate, please help me!"

Zhen Zixuan possesses psychic abilities, while Zhang Zilong has speed-based abilities; the two were originally in the reconnaissance team. However, Zhen Zixuan exhausted too much of his abilities while traveling that morning, forcing him to switch to another team for reconnaissance.

Zhen Zixuan unfurled his spiritual threads, which spread outwards along a tree root. Extending for hundreds of meters, they reached a colossal tree, its branches blotting out the sky and brimming with vitality. The tree's branches grew haphazardly, connecting to numerous smaller trees. Even these smaller trees were two or three meters in diameter.

The sapling spread out in all directions, its branches covering a radius of a hundred meters, obscuring Zhen Zixuan's view from even further away. Moreover, a dense mass of tree roots was rapidly converging on this area.

This is a huge problem.

"Hurry, we must get out of here first." It's too dangerous here.

Coming was easy, but leaving was difficult. The tree roots seemed to know they were in cahoots, so they surrounded them and cut off their retreat.

Jiang Wentao, disregarding the possibility of implicating his companions, carried them over. The dense tree roots blocked their way even more fiercely. The gray-brown tree trunks howled in the wind, almost weaving a spider web that blocked out the sky and enveloped them.
