"Of course it's what they said!" Zhu Mu tried to stand up. The termites had already given him a simple cure, so although he was a little dizzy, he felt much better overall. He glanced at Ji Yueyao, giving her a somewhat obsequious chuckle. He understood what Ji Yueyao meant—it simply meant loyalty. Although he had now betrayed them, hadn't he also successfully joined Mu Yanxuan's ranks? Was this Ji Yueyao Mu Yanxuan's woman?
"Is your superior Qin Lichang?" Bai Yi interjected at this moment.
“Yes.” Zhu Mu nodded. “He’s the one who sent us here.”
Ji Yueyao glanced around and stretched her neck. She had just tried to use her sensory abilities to connect with the thoughts of the strange beings around her, and to her surprise, she actually succeeded. However, doing so made her feel like she had been disassembled, and her whole body ached. "Let's talk as we walk and get out of this dangerous place first."
After putting on her backpack, Ji Yueyao pointed behind Mu Yanxuan and said, "You can get out by walking that way."
Mu Yanxuan nodded, gave Ji Yueyao a deep look, and then turned and walked to the front.
Black Cat and the others followed closely behind, while Ji Yueyao walked at the very back. This time, however, Zhu Mu walked alongside Ji Yueyao.
Zhu Mu looked at Ji Yueyao walking beside him with some curiosity, feeling conflicted. Was Ji Yueyao really Mu Yanxuan's woman...? Shouldn't women be protected? Why was she being made to walk at the very back?
"What's wrong?" Ji Yueyao was trying to sense the various sounds coming from all around her, but anyone could feel the curiosity in Zhu Mu's eyes.
When Ji Yueyao suddenly asked him a question, Zhu Mu chuckled and said, "It's nothing... it's just... thank you for saving my life."
"What's there to thank me for?" Ji Yueyao shrugged. "You just didn't want to die."
Zhu Mu was taken aback, then rubbed his messy short hair, chuckled, and followed behind Ji Yueyao.
"Besides Qin Lichang's people, are there any other people involved in this operation?" Black Cat turned around and looked at Zhu Mu, who was following behind Ji Yueyao, and asked softly with a frown.
“And… Xia Yaoxuan’s people.” Zhu Mu thought for a moment and said, “I remember the only superhuman in our team is one of Xia Yaoxuan’s people.”
"Xia Yaoxuan?" Snow Fox asked with some surprise. Why would the Black Race leader be our enemy?
Mu Yanxuan's expression was also not very good. He frowned, and annoyance welled up in his eyes.
Zhu Mu shook his head, looking puzzled himself. "I don't know about that. All I know is that Qin Lichang seems to have made some kind of deal with him."
Upon hearing this, Black Cat remembered another question, "Speaking of which, I've always been puzzled. We all witnessed Qin Lichang's hatred for the adults, so how could the people he sent to ambush us be so weak?"
Zhu Mu pointed ahead and chuckled, "There are fifty more ability users lying in ambush outside the Forbidden Forest. Among them, Wu Cheng is Qin Lichang's man, and Wu Cheng is Xia Yaoxuan's man."
"He really went all out to deal with a seriously injured person." Mu Yanxuan sneered, then stopped and waited for Ji Yueyao to come over.
Mu Yanxuan is different from Qin Lichang. Mu Yanxuan's Dragon Group consists entirely of people with superpowers, making it the most powerful team. However, Qin Lichang's Dark Team was taken over from the previous military region commander, Qin Zhichuan, who succeeded him from his father. However, the current Dark Team has been weakened by Mu Yanxuan's heavy blows. The Dark Team now contains both people with superpowers and ordinary people, but the number of people with superpowers is much smaller than that of Mu Yanxuan.
So you went to Xia Yaoxuan to borrow people in order to deal with him?
“Xia Yaoxuan…” Ji Yueyao murmured the name softly, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. She wondered how her childhood sweetheart was doing in that world. With his looks, he was probably surrounded by beautiful women by now.
"Ji Yueyao." Mu Yanxuan, standing beside Ji Yueyao, naturally heard her whispering the name, and immediately felt extremely uncomfortable. He leaned down and gently whispered in Ji Yueyao's ear. The warm breath he exhaled almost made Ji Yueyao's legs go weak. She turned her head, her cheeks burning, and tried to push Mu Yanxuan away, but couldn't budge him. "What are you doing?"
"Don't speculate about other people's names." Mu Yanxuan looked at Ji Yueyao, her face slightly flushed. "It makes me uncomfortable."
"..." Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes inwardly, raised her hand and patted Mu Yanxuan's head to signal him to behave. "I'm just wondering if it's really okay for the black guy to be so direct in making enemies of you. I think you guys are a big customer for him, right?"
Mu Yanxuan looked at Ji Yueyao's small hand as it lowered from his head, and suddenly felt a pang of longing for the softness of her hand. He tried to reach for it, but Ji Yueyao pulled her hand away too quickly and he couldn't reach it. "Although we rely on the Black race, our powerful strength also suppresses them. If I die, the power structure of Country C will definitely be thrown into chaos. At that time, the major powers will start fighting for territory, and their oil will suddenly become the most sought-after resource. This way, they can get rid of me, who is an eyesore to them, and also make a fortune. Why don't you think they would do it?"
"But isn't he afraid you'll turn against him if he does this? Wouldn't it be even more troublesome for him if you attacked him then?" Ji Yueyao didn't notice Mu Yanxuan's actions, but was a little puzzled after noticing the annoyance in his eyes.
“The black people’s oil is not only supplied to me, but they also attack various forces in C country and other countries besides C country. If I launch an attack, do you think the other forces will react to us?” Mu Yanxuan and Ji Yueyao walked forward side by side, and at the same time entered a state of alert. They were about to go out, and the second ambush was already waiting for them.
Ji Yueyao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before immediately understanding, "Naturally, we should attack them from all sides."
"That's why Xia Yaoxuan supplied so much oil to various countries back then. I have to say, as an opponent, he still inspires a certain desire to challenge you." Mu Yanxuan raised his hand to clear a branch blocking their way, squinting at the faint light ahead. "We'll be out soon."
"Hmm." Ji Yueyao nodded, then suddenly spoke in a low voice as if she had just thought of something, "Sky, can you sense where people are lying in ambush outside?"
The voice in the sky sounded drowsy, "No, there is light outside. My consciousness can only extend in the darkness. I can't feel anything in the light."
"Is that so?" Ji Yueyao nodded knowingly, then looked back at Mu Yanxuan with a hint of helplessness. "This time, we won't be able to detect where they are."
"Hmm." Mu Yanxuan gently removed a withered twig from Ji Yueyao's hair, smiled slightly, and nodded. (To be continued.)
