Chapter 3873: Working Together

At this point, the team had grown to over two hundred people. Chased by the bee swarm, everyone converged towards a thousand-year-old phoenix tree.

Watching the man-eating bees buzz wildly, a vast, dark mass surging downwards, Qi Xuanxuan grew anxious.

"Oh my god, will these man-eating bees kill the phoenix tree?"

"Everyone, quick, quick! Work together, dig up the phoenix tree!"

Qiao Mu: ...

Xuanxuan, aren't you overthinking? Man-eating bees don't like gnawing on wood.

Qi Xuanxuan and Little Fatty were the first to rush to the tree, quickly grabbing shovels from their inner worlds and digging the soil.

Everyone watched their coordinated actions, utterly speechless!

You two, can you not be so shameless?

Others just take one or two phoenix wood branches, enough for two thousand points to enter the finals.

But you two?

You're going straight for the entire phoenix tree! You're insane!

"Qiao Qiao." Mo Lian squeezed her small hand. "Duan Yue, Second Young Master, and I will lead the man-eating bee swarm to the edge of the chasm. You all wait here."

"I'll go too," Little Qiao said eagerly.

Duan Yue glanced at her, smiling, "You need to stay here and continue covering everyone with the defensive talisman array. We can handle this small matter."

Qiao Mu thought about it and nodded. "Alright then, come back quickly."

"First Young Master, Second Young Master, let's go together!" Duan Yue blinked his eyes, turning to smile at the two young masters of the Qin family.

"Hmph!" First Young Master Qin glared at him in annoyance.

Good things never involve them, but bad things always do.

"We're all in the same boat now, so we should work together!" Mu Xingchen nodded. "Two young masters, please!"

The two young masters chuckled at Mu Xingchen but didn't argue further.

The two leaped, joining Mo Lian, Duan Yue, and Mu Xingchen as they flew out of the defensive talisman array and towards the nearby chasm.

Their speed was incredibly fast. Everyone only saw faint afterimages streaking across the sky.

The people vanished from their sight in an instant.

Meanwhile, Qi Xuanxuan and Little Fatty, those two troublemakers, with the help of a group of despairing Royal Academy students, successfully dug up the poor phoenix tree.

Little Fatty volunteered to carry the tree, turning to Qiao Mu with a mouthful of white teeth.

Qiao Mu: ...

Strange, suddenly I don't feel like talking to Little Fatty.

Thankfully, this tree was much shorter than a millennium phoenix tree, but it was still three or four meters tall.

The trunk required two people to embrace it, but Little Fatty was carrying it on his shoulder.

What did it look like?

Like a small dwarf carrying a giant log...

Never seen anyone carry off an entire tree before! Everyone thought to themselves. Little did they know that Little Qiao had already absconded with an entire millennium phoenix tree before this.

Over on the other side, Mo Lian and the others, having left the defensive talisman array, indeed attracted large swaths of man-eating bees, which swarmed to surround them.

These man-eating bees, all no bigger than a fingernail, were incredibly agile, reaching Mo Lian and the others in mere moments.

Mo Lian exchanged glances with the people beside him. "Jump."

The five of them consecutively leaped down into the chasm.

Qin Er's steps paused, and he inexplicably looked back. He saw the little stoic's gaze fixed intently on Mo Lian. When Mo Lian's eyes shifted, she met his gaze.
