Xiang Beifei looked thoughtfully at the people from Yanzhou University, his gaze sweeping over them before resting on Zhu Xinjue. After a moment, he said, "How did you end up here?"
"After we entered this withered forest, we realized something was off and then ran up this mountain. The situation outside is very bad. Did you just encounter those strange tree-people too?" Yu Hongbo asked.
"That's right," Xiang Beifei said indifferently.
"Are you all right?" Yu Hongbo asked.
"Not too bad," Xiang Beifei glanced at Tang He behind him. Tang He was from Qingzhou University, and their team was in quite a bad situation.
When Tang He saw Yu Hongbo and the others, he also showed a shocked expression. He hadn't expected to encounter people from Yanzhou University, especially since Hou Chengwu of their Qingzhou University had died at the hands of "Zhu Pengfei"!
However, he didn't dare to say much now. He was only a late-stage Qi-Controlling SR-level Awakener and, without any teammates around, he was no match for these people from Yanzhou University.
"How long have you been in this withered forest?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"We came in last night!" Yu Hongbo said.
"Last night? You've been here for almost a day now?" Xiang Beifei was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, we came here last night!"
Yu Hongbo no longer harbored thoughts of dealing with Xiang Beifei, but rather he felt a hint of wanting to join forces with Xiang Beifei.
Since his team was also in a very awkward position.
This place was really strange; they were trapped and couldn't find a way out. Seeing Xiang Beifei, Yu Hongbo felt a surge of hope.
Xiang Beifei was strong; perhaps he had a way!
"So, you're alright?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"One of us had an accident," Yu Hongbo said solemnly.
Now, only four of them remained in their team.
"Have you been on this mountain since last night?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Not exactly, at first we were walking in the withered forest, but then suddenly it got darker, and things seemed wrong, so we ran up the mountain. We found that those tree-people didn't dare to come up, and we breathed a sigh of relief. We weren't on this mountain at first, but on another mountain."
"So you are the N-level Awakener, Xiang Beifei?"
Chen Baiwen didn't look good facing Xiang Beifei. He actually didn't want to come forward, because the previous Hou Chengwu lost inexplicably, and he hadn't seen clearly how Hou Chengwu lost.
If he lost to an N-level student, his reputation would be almost destroyed.
However, if he didn't come forward to challenge Xiang Beifei, he would be even more ridiculed as a coward, indirectly proving that he, a prestigious SSR Awakener, was afraid of an N-level!
That would mean Xiang Beifei won without fighting.
After all, like Hou Chengwu, he had dismissed the idea of attending Liangzhou University which recruited N-level students, persuaded by other universities not to go to Liangzhou University.
Since Chen Baiwen had decided to give up on Liangzhou University initially, it showed he was an arrogant SSR himself; how could he not prove himself?
Xiang Beifei just calmly looked at Zhu Xinjue, but a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Last time he hadn't killed this fellow who was obviously planning to kill him, so this time he must kill Zhu Xinjue!
However, just as he finished speaking, he felt his knees bend, and with a "snap," he suddenly knelt in front of Xiang Beifei!
Zhu Xinjue and the others were also startled!
"Hou Chengwu, what are you doing?" Chen Baiwen asked in surprise.
Hou Chengwu was also shocked by his own actions!
Why did he kneel down?
Wasn't it agreed to let Xiang Beifei off track?
Why was it him who knelt instead?
Hou Chengwu's face turned red with anger as he tried to stand up, but no matter what, he couldn't!
But just then, Hou Chengwu, with sharp eyes, suddenly saw Xiang Beifei's figure and immediately shouted, "There he is!"
This time everyone saw clearly, Xiang Beifei was a real person!
The others also saw Xiang Beifei, but due to the flood, it was difficult for them to split off.
"Yu Hongbo, you keep an eye on these SRs, we few will deal with him!" Hou Chengwu shouted.
"Alright!" Yu Hongbo had to take care of his subordinates, otherwise the SRs would be directly overwhelmed by the flood.
Zhu Xinjue's eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness, and a huge glass ball appeared in his hand. The glass ball flickered, turned into a phantom light, and enveloped the void.
"This time I'll see where you can go!" Zhu Xinjue sneered.
The glass ball was a UR-level space system item, capable of making any space-transferring item ineffective. Since everyone had a Forfeit Talisman, Zhu Xinjue was worried that Xiang Beifei might escape.
Soon, Hou Chengwu, Zhu Xinjue, Chen Baiwen, and He Qiutong encircled Xiang Beifei, their powerful auras no weaker than the flood, staring intently at Xiang Beifei.
"Xiang Beifei, although I know you're strong, now that we're four, I still advise you to forfeit," He Qiutong said.
He Qiutong was not aware of Zhu Xinjue's plan; like Chen Baiwen, her only goal was to make Xiang Beifei drop out.
Xiang Beifei looked indifferently at the four people before him.
Four people, easier to deal with than five.
"Correct, we don't want to harm you. Just drop out on your own to avoid trouble," Chen Baiwen said gravely.
