Xia Lin and his team had little success this morning, so they were naturally a little anxious.
So, after adding Nightwalker Snow as a friend, they decided to set off and continue their journey to hunt for resources.
only……
Looking at Ling Luo, and remembering Ye Xingxue's entrustment, Xia Lin and the others asked, "We want to set off now, but if you'd like to rest a little longer—"
Ling Luo said calmly, "No need, let's go."
She wasn't tired to begin with; she only stopped to rest to accommodate them.
Xia Lin and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they had already made up their minds that no matter how useless Ling Luo was or how much she delayed their progress, they would take good care of her for Ye Xingxue.
But if they had a choice, they would naturally want to have both the assessment and her.
Therefore, they would naturally be happy if she could cooperate well.
Previously, they had been rushing forward with all their might, only occasionally glancing back at Ling Luo.
This time, the four of them stood like bodyguards, positioned around her.
To avoid tiring her out, they even slowed down their pace.
The viewers in the live stream quickly noticed this change.
Previously, they had all been preoccupied with "what exactly happened between Ye Xingxue and Lingluo".
She didn't realize whether Ye Xingxue's instruction to Ling Luo's teammates to take care of her was the right thing to do.
Now that I've realized it, I feel more complicated and sad than ever before.
"They're accommodating that good-for-nothing."
"It must be because of His Highness the Crown Prince."
“I can understand why they did that. His Highness is our hero, the idol of all of us young people. As long as he asks, even if it's just to take care of this good-for-nothing, or even if he completely wastes this opportunity for the assessment because of this good-for-nothing, I won't complain. I think those four good-for-nothing teammates feel the same way now. Because it is a great honor for us to be able to help our hero! But as a spectator, I still have to say that His Highness shouldn't have done that.”
"Yes, His Highness knew that we regarded him as a hero, and he also understood that his useless teammates would affect their own assessment results in order to fulfill his request, out of consideration for that useless guy. Yet he still spoke up. This... this is not the His Highness I know, the hero in my heart would do such a thing."
"Yes! Even if he really liked that good-for-nothing, I wouldn't be this heartbroken. But Your Highness's actions make me feel like he's changed."
"I... I can't stand it anymore, I'm leaving."
"Me too, I'm leaving now..."
In an instant, not only Ling Luo's live stream, but also most of the viewers in Ye Xingxue's live stream left after receiving this news.
Just then, Ling Luo noticed two strange beasts running towards them, following their scent.
She narrowed her eyes and glanced in the direction from which the strange beast had come.
However, seeing that Xia Lin and the others did not react, she did not make a fuss and continued to follow their pace.
After a while, seeing that the strange beasts were almost catching up with them, Xia Lin and the others hadn't reacted yet. Ling Luo rubbed her temples helplessly, sighed inwardly, and stopped.
Just as she was about to speak, Xia Lin finally realized what was happening.
"There's movement from a strange beast, everyone be careful!"
No sooner had they finished speaking than two strange beasts appeared in front of them.
They only noticed the strange beasts when they appeared beside them, which shows that these two beasts were definitely no less powerful than themselves.
Everyone's expression changed.
The beast bared its fangs and lunged at the creature with greedy eyes. Xia Lin leaped forward with all her might, gritting her teeth as she said before she reached the beast, "Yuan Qi, you stay here and take care of her!"
"Li Yuan, Ming Ya, the three of us will take them on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the others stepped forward and began fighting the strange beast.
Yuan Qi was on high alert and obediently protected Ling Hou, taking a few steps back.
Ling Luo: "..."
Oh well, let them do whatever they want.
The combat experience of the alien beasts is far richer than that of humans. Even if Xia Lin and his two companions worked together, they would not be a match for the two alien beasts that were almost at the same level as them.
Before long, Xia Lin and the others were at a disadvantage and suffered some minor injuries.
Despite the critical situation, Ling Luo crossed her arms, looked relaxed, and watched with great interest, as if the lives and deaths of Xia Lin and the others were none of her concern.
Yuan Qi was extremely anxious. "Squad leader, I'll go help—"
"No need, you protect her, don't get distracted!"
"But!"
"No buts!"
Yuan Qi gritted his teeth and agreed: "Yes..."
There were still some people in Lingluo's live stream who hadn't left.
Everyone was furious upon seeing this.
"Her teammates put themselves in danger while protecting her, and not only did she not worry at all, but she also took their protection for granted and even watched the show from the sidelines. It's just too much!"
"Exactly! Based on this alone, I don't believe His Highness the Crown Prince truly likes her. His Highness is so good to her; he must have his reasons."
"Even if His Highness has his reasons, he shouldn't use other people's futures and lives to play along. I can understand him pretending to be nice to that good-for-nothing because of his reasons, but I can't understand why his good-for-nothing teammates would sacrifice their assessment goals and even their lives to protect that good-for-nothing because of his own reasons!"
"Yes! That's right! I'm a die-hard fan of His Highness. I won't criticize or belittle him, but I have my own values! If His Highness uses such methods to achieve his goal, even if he reaches the pinnacle again, I will no longer be a fan of him! Because, at that time, he will no longer be the person I admire!"
"So, His Highness has really changed? Waaah..."
In the live stream, no one left the chat for a while, because they were too heartbroken to speak.
They only prayed that Xia Lin and the others would be safe and sound.
