"Where are you going?" Zhu Mu blinked a couple of times, looking dumbfounded. "Captain, these man-eating ant-like alien birds are crawling right up to our feet. You must be kidding me..."
Ji Yueyao glanced at Zhu Mu indifferently without saying a word. Just as Zhu Mu was wondering what was going on, he suddenly felt his collar being grabbed, and then he stumbled and fell headfirst to the ground.
The expected pain did not come. Zhu Mu blinked and found himself sliding down at an extremely fast speed.
"Team... team leader?!" He was completely dumbfounded. Where was he going to slide to?
"Don't stop, keep sliding down with peace of mind, and... take off your coat and cover up any exposed skin so you don't get hurt!" Ji Yueyao's voice came from behind. As soon as Zhu Mu heard her voice, he felt relieved. He obediently pulled down his sleeves to cover his skin and relaxed his body to slide faster.
Ji Yueyao keenly sensed the changes in the surrounding alien plants. Now, the umbrella-type alien plants were frantically surging towards them. It was certain that if they were even slightly slower, they would be swept up by the umbrella-type alien plants and buried forever in the soil between this forbidden land of death and the ground.
However, upon investigation, it turns out that these umbrella-shaped alien plants are indeed scattered all over the land. They are truly enormous alien plants, but thankfully they are not aggressive.
After about ten seconds, Ji Yueyao suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness. She quickly took off her coat and wrapped her arms around her head, trying to prevent her head from being scratched by the protruding, sharp plants.
"Tsk..." The bamboo and wood, which had been thrown heavily to the ground, rolled around a couple of times in a disheveled manner. Just as it was about to get up, Ji Yueyao fell down again, almost breaking several of its ribs.
"Captain, you're so heavy..." Zhu Mu groaned mournfully as he lay on the ground.
Ji Yueyao landed steadily, and instinctively dodged to the side when she felt her foot step on something soft. Looking down at the bamboo and wood crawling on the ground, she frowned slightly before calmly squatting down. "Aren't you an ability user? How come you can't even land steadily?"
"I've been pretending to be an ordinary person for too long, and I haven't realized it yet..." Zhu Mu sat up with a bitter face, rubbing his waist. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Rolling her eyes silently, Ji Yueyao stood up and took off her coat, which was indeed terribly torn. Her trousers were also ripped in several places, but luckily she was wearing something underneath that was sturdy, otherwise her legs would have been impossible to cover.
Looking around, it was indeed exactly the same place where she had fallen before. A forbidden zone of death... This place is really quite cold.
"Are you alright?" Turning back to look at Zhu Mu, who had stood up and was looking at the tattered coat in his hand with a look of disgust, Ji Yueyao raised an eyebrow and asked softly.
"No..." Zhu Mu stretched out his hands, looking very lively.
“Then let’s go.” Ji Yueyao turned and walked ahead. “Follow me.”
Zhu Mu nodded and followed without saying a word.
The real adventure is just beginning.
At this moment, neither Ji Yueyao nor Zhu Mu noticed that where they had just landed, several man-eating ant-type alien birds were wriggling out and then burrowing into the branches of the umbrella-type alien plants.
Meanwhile, the termite on its way to the Nanxiao base gritted its teeth, glaring angrily ahead, "I never expected that bastard Zhu Mu to be a superhuman... He really kept it a secret!"
"He went to help the captain, isn't that a good thing? Are you really going to let the captain go to the Forbidden Forest alone?!" Kachi frowned and snorted. If Baiyi doesn't go, does that mean someone else can't take care of Ji Yueyao?
"Who knows if he's good or bad!" Termite roared. "He concealed his abilities and lurked among us... Now that the captain is alone, he's exposed his abilities. How can he be kind?! Don't let me see him again, or I will kill him!"
Upon hearing what the bai ant said, Kachi's heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at the bai ant driving the car and said hesitantly, "When I was with Zhu Mu... he didn't seem like a bad person?"
"When you were with your former partner Xu Lingnan, did you ever imagine that he would one day harm the captain?" Termite sneered, gritting his teeth coldly. "Hopefully, that guy won't have any ulterior motives towards the captain..."
His mind was in complete turmoil. He was worried about Ji Yueyao, but he had to obey orders and return to the Nanxiao base. He not only had to settle Qiao Ying and the others at the Nanxiao base, but also had to provide emergency care for the seriously injured Lin Xuan… Damn it, all these troublesome things had piled up at once!
The termite was anxious, but there was nothing it could do. Kachi silently lowered her head, looking sadly out the window. She realized her own uselessness; when necessary, she really couldn't help at all.
Yueyao, you must take good care of yourself.
On the way to the Beihuang base, Mu Yanxuan felt a sudden pang of anxiety. He frowned, glanced outside worriedly, and silently pursed his lips. Ji Yueyao was still at the Xiyu base, and Yu Zhenlong should already know that he had been tricked by Country B. If he were smart, he definitely wouldn't dare to do anything now, so Ji Yueyao would be safe... But he still couldn't let go of his worries.
The atmosphere inside the carriage grew increasingly tense. Xuehu, sitting opposite Mu Yanxuan, hesitated for a moment before mustering her courage to speak, "My lord, this is from Lord Ling."
Mu Yanxuan glanced up absentmindedly at the order; it was a troop mobilization order. It seemed that Country C was definitely going to be in turmoil. He quickly signed his name, and as he watched Xuehu take it and send it to the military region, he couldn't help but speak up.
"Snow Fox".
"What's wrong, sir?" Snow Fox looked up and asked in confusion.
"Send a message to Bai Yi, and tell him to tell me about Ji Yueyao's situation as soon as possible." Mu Yanxuan said directly after a few seconds of silence, his cold voice unusually tinged with urgency.
"You just left the Xiyu base and you're already sending a message to the termites?" Snow Fox was taken aback for a moment, but still nodded decisively, and then quickly began sending a message to the termites.
Just as the termite abandoned his usual composure and was gritting his teeth and muttering something to himself, the connector on his body suddenly vibrated, slowing down the car. He took it out and glanced at the message transmitted by the connector, and was immediately stunned.
Ask him to report on Ji Yueyao's situation?! Are you kidding? He wants to know too!
Gritting his teeth, Bai Yi unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his face grim. He moved his lips but swallowed all his negative emotions.
"Don't tell Mu Yanxuan."
Ji Yueyao's words still seemed to echo clearly in his ears. Bai Yi looked at the communicator in his hand and felt only annoyance.
"My lord," Snow Fox said, looking at Mu Yanxuan with the communicator in hand, "the termites have sent a message."
"What did you say?" Mu Yanxuan spoke the moment the snow fox finished speaking, so quickly that even the snow fox didn't have time to react. (To be continued.)
