Such limited cooperation seems far more practical than relying on the indifferent Zhou Ying or challenging this deadly pipeline.
Zi Xi subconsciously looked across the street.
Zhou Ying remained with her arms crossed, leaning lazily against the wall, her cold gaze, like a blade, sweeping over the orc named Guo Bei from under her hat brim.
Then, he gave a very light chuckle, his eyes saying, "Do as you please."
But he neither left nor stopped them, as if he was waiting for someone's reaction.
Zi Xi opened her mouth to offer a word of advice.
Yuan Ke and his group eagerly surrounded them, bombarding them with questions about the details of the collaboration.
But he wasn't completely demented; he asked quite detailed questions.
"It's very simple. The entrance to that passage is just blocked by a mutated vine."
"If we work together to clean it up, we can share information afterwards, and everyone will have a chance to survive!"
Guo Bei spoke with certainty, even with a hint of encouragement.
"It does sound safer than climbing this."
Yuan Ke muttered to himself, glancing at the other orcs.
Hu Jiang, Meng Nan, and Ai Qi exchanged glances and finally nodded hesitantly.
"I'm not physically fit enough, so I won't go with you. I'll take the shortcut."
Zi Xi pointed to the opposite side in a soft but firm voice.
This person looks kind, but she hasn't been watching anti-fraud short videos for nothing.
"Me too! I'm going this way too!"
Mona immediately raised her hand, whispering but urgently echoing, and subconsciously moved closer to Zixi.
She hadn't forgotten how incredibly lucky this pure human lady had been before.
And now, standing opposite them is the unfathomable Zhou Ying, who is also taking good care of this pure human lady.
Clinging to this lucky charm is clearly more reliable than trusting a stranger.
Wen Zhuli, the orc who was almost invisible, naturally chose to stay as well.
As a result, this hastily assembled and fragile team fell apart in an instant.
A fleeting, almost imperceptible sneer flashed across Guo Bei's eyes before he turned and led his men away swiftly into the dark passage to the side.
Meanwhile, Wen Zhuli had already climbed over quickly. Zhou Ying looked at Zi Xi and Mona, who were following behind at a snail's pace, and clicked her tongue in obvious impatience.
The next second, he moved like a ghost across the pipe again, picking them up one in each hand without any hesitation, as if they were kittens.
Amidst Mona's screams and Zi Xi's stunned silence, they landed steadily back on the opposite platform in a few leaps, and were casually set down. The whole process was incredibly fast.
He didn't even bother to check if they were standing still before turning around and clearing the way.
"Sister Xi, are you scared?"
Mona quietly approached Zi Xi.
"Don't be afraid, and don't be scared either. With Instructor Zhou and Mr. Wen here, as long as we are careful, nothing will happen."
Zi Xi glanced at the two figures standing one behind the other and gave a knowing answer.
"Yes, yes, following the big boss is the safest way!"
"Sister Xi, you're a big shot too!"
"And Sister Xi, you are a fairy incarnate! It really proves the saying, 'Sparrows and beastmen eat strawberries, but sparrows eat delicious food!'"
Mona gave a thumbs up and praised him generously.
Being lucky enough is another kind of success!
"I'm just a nobody. As long as we cling to the legs of those two in front of us, even if they're just calves, we should be able to get through smoothly!"
Zi Xi's lips unconsciously curled up; Mona's praise was a little too sincere.
