"Our two schools supported each other in the Withered Forest, jointly avoiding dangers," Xiang Beifei said, and then looked at Ren Jianghai, adding, "We even encountered a student from your Qingzhou University along the way; you can ask him if you like."
"Yes, we nearly got wiped out, but it was Xiang Beifei and the others who saved me. Later, we kept running into teams from other schools and warned them about the danger, but they didn't trust us — only the team from Yongzhou University followed us."
Tang He thoroughly recounted the events, including how they clashed with Yanzhou University, then how they encountered Shi Renmei, saw the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, were pursued, and were rescued by the team from Liangzhou...
After listening, Ren Jianghai's brow was deeply furrowed.
But with Tang He stepping forward, he had no choice but to drop the matter.
After all, Tang He was a student of Qingzhou University, and by both feelings and reason, Xiang Beifei
Xiang Beifei did not utter another word but watched Tang He thoughtfully.
Tang He was a normal person, which was undeniable because he had a system interface, and the system was still rapidly updating. His [Po Jun Eye System] was a scouting type of system and could quickly pinpoint an opponent's weaknesses, allowing him to defeat the opponent through those weaknesses.
At the moment, his system log appeared normal—something not hidden from Xiang Beifei's eyes.
However, what puzzled Xiang Beifei was—
This guy, for some reason, seemed to faintly carry a hint of the aura of the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage!
Was it because he had been attacked by the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, leaving behind this aura?
As these people showed up, the atmosphere immediately turned ominous.
Chen Baiwen, Yu Hongbo, Zhu Xinjue!
The team from Yanzhou University!
Unexpectedly, they also appeared here!
Zhu Xinjue caught sight of Xiang Beifei in the crowd and his heart missed a beat, then a resentful expression flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
Because their alliance with Qingzhou University had now broken, they had no way to join forces against Xiang Beifei.
When Yu Hongbo and Chen Baiwen saw Xiang Beifei, they too were slightly shocked! The two couldn't help but exchange looks!
Just yesterday, they were considering joining forces with Qingzhou University to deal with Xiang Beifei, but they ended up not finding Xiang Beifei; instead, it was Hou Chengwu from Qingzhou University who ended up dead.
They also hadn't expected to run into Xiang Beifei at this place.
"Don't panic! He probably doesn't know what happened yesterday!"
Chen Baiwen signaled Yu Hongbo and the others with his eyes, understanding each other without needing to speak.
Yu Hongbo composed himself and then said, "Xiang Beifei, I've long admired your reputation, I am Yu Hongbo, the captain of the Yanzhou University team."
Chen Baiwen also nodded slightly, but he didn't speak.
Xiang Beifei thoughtfully watched the people from Yanzhou University, his gaze sweeping over them and then lingered on Zhu Xinjue, eventually asking, "How come you are here?"
"After we entered this Withered Forest, we realized something was off, then we ran up to this mountain, things outside are pretty bad. Did you guys also encounter those bizarre tree people just now?" Yu Hongbo asked.
"That's right," Xiang Beifei replied calmly.
"Are you all okay?" Yu Hongbo asked.
"Not too bad," Xiang Beifei glanced at Tang He, who was from Qingzhou University, and their team seemed to be in a very bad situation now.
When Tang He saw Yu Hongbo and the others, he also showed a shocked expression; he hadn't expected to run into people from Yanzhou University, especially since Hou Chengwu from his own Qingzhou University had died at the hands of "Zhu Pengfei"!
But he now dared not say much, being just a late-stage Qi-Controlling SR-class Awakener with no other teammates around, he simply was no match for the people from Yanzhou University.
"How long have you been in this Withered Forest?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Since last night!" Yu Hongbo answered.
"Last night? Have you been here almost a day now?" Xiang Beifei was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, we came here last night!"
Yu Hongbo no longer had the intention of dealing with Xiang Beifei; instead, he even felt somewhat inclined to join forces with Xiang Beifei.
Because their team was also in a very difficult situation now.
This place was indeed too bizarre, and they were trapped, unable to find a way out. Seeing Xiang Beifei, hope rose in Yu Hongbo's heart.
Xiang Beifei was very strong; perhaps he had a way!
"So, you're all okay?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"We've had one casualty," Yu Hongbo said solemnly.
Now only four of their team members were left.
"Have you been on this mountain since last night?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Not exactly, at first we were walking through the Withered Forest, but then it suddenly got dark and something felt wrong, so we ran up the mountain, finding that those tree people didn't dare to come up, and we could breathe a sigh of relief. We weren't initially on this mountain, but on another one."
"Are you the N-class Awakener, Xiang Beifei?"
Seeing Xiang Beifei's face, Chen Baiwen looked somewhat displeased; he actually didn't want to come up, as the previous Hou Chengwu had lost inexplicably, and he hadn't clearly seen how Hou Chengwu had lost.
If he were to lose to an N-class student as well, it could almost destroy his reputation.
