Ji Yueyao frowned slightly as she watched the two figures disappear into the distance.
"Captain?" Termite said softly.
Ji Yueyao stood still and looked around. All around were ruins, except for buildings that could be vaguely seen in the distance. That was where they lived. "Is there anywhere to stay in this area?" Where did Wang Yingying and the others come from?
"There shouldn't be any." The termite looked around but couldn't see even a tent.
Wang Yingying and her brother were no longer visible. Ji Yueyao narrowed his eyes, turned around, and walked towards Lin Xuan.
"Could it be... that they live underground?"
The termite walked beside Ji Yueyao, and Ji Yueyao's murmured voice clearly reached his ears. The termite glanced at the ground it was standing on and replied in a low voice, "The geology is not soft and damp, so it's possible that people live underground. If people can live underground, then there can definitely be quite a few people."
"..." Ji Yueyao glanced at the white ant speechlessly, "I was just saying it casually, you don't have to take it so seriously."
The termite chuckled somewhat awkwardly, "Captain, why are you suddenly worrying about these things?"
"It's nothing," Ji Yueyao shook her head. "It's just a little strange."
After saying that, Ji Yueyao stopped worrying about it and quickened her pace toward Lin Xuan. She needed to go back and rest early tonight because Lin Xuan would be challenging Wu Yun tomorrow, and she had to cheer him on.
"..." The termite stared blankly behind Ji Yueyao, its eyes wide open. It had already given up on thinking about it. It was so quick to abandon the idea.
Looking at Lin Xuan standing on the challenge arena, Ji Yueyao suddenly felt that perhaps she should have brought some food with her when she came out to pass the time.
"Captain, this Wu Yun is really... sick." Kachi looked at the scene on the field and silently glanced at Lin Xuan.
There are viewing areas at the edge of the challenge arena where you can see the scene. For most people in the Nanxiao base, this challenge of twenty seats is just a form of entertainment in this boring world. Watching the challengers get beaten bloody seems to be the only thing that can stir up the most active factors in their hearts.
So everyone in the Nanxiao base knew that Lin Xuan was challenging for the 20th seat. Although they didn't know who spread the word, Ji Yueyao just wanted to cover her face when she saw the dense crowd of spectators.
In the center of the arena, Wu Yun lay straight on a wooden bed, a beautiful woman beside him massaging his shoulders and legs and feeding him water. Wu Yun would occasionally glance at Lin Xuan standing there, then casually comb his stylishly unconventional hair, his disdain quite obvious. Lin Xuan stood quietly beside him, his face expressionless.
Damn it, you're mentally challenged.
"You guys don't know this, do you?" A man sitting next to Ji Yueyao turned around, looking like he had something to gossip about, and said, "Although Lord Wu Yun is the twentieth seat, he also has quite a few subordinates and private shops and businesses behind him. Although some people will overestimate themselves and challenge him, none of them can win. If they lose, it will be even worse. Lord Wu Yun has the right to make sure they can't stay in the Nanxiao base."
Ji Yueyao nodded expressionlessly, then took out the intelligence that the termites had gathered for her from her pocket: Wu Yun, the twentieth seat of the Nanxiao Base, possesses a strong physique, water-based abilities, a powerful background, low moral character, and a mental state different from ordinary people.
So the key point was the last sentence.
"Can you please stop wasting time?" Lin Xuan finally couldn't help but speak up, looking at the comfortable man in front of him.
"The challenge started a long time ago, I'm wondering why you haven't made a move yet?" Wu Yun smiled like a rogue. His face, which already looked like it had been through too much debauchery, was really quite lewd with that smile. Seeing that Lin Xuan seemed to be about to explode, Wu Yun waved his hand with a bored expression, signaling the women around him to leave. "Young people these days are really... Alright, you should all leave now."
"..." Lin Xuan silently watched Wu Yun stand up, still not daring to let his guard down, staring intently at Wu Yun's every move to make sure he could see the opponent's attack clearly.
Wu Yun looked down on Lin Xuan completely. "Young man, there are plenty of people who challenge me, but do you know why none of them have succeeded?"
Lin Xuan didn't speak, but simply shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
"Because you're too weak." Wu Yun sneered. In that instant, Lin Xuan felt as if his heart was being squeezed, and the pain was suffocating. Before he could react, he knelt straight down on the ground.
"What's going on!" Kachi's eyes widened, and she stood up abruptly, looking anxiously at Lin Xuan.
Ji Yueyao was also taken aback, then she suddenly realized something and narrowed her eyes, "Wu Yun's water-based ability should be a mutated type of ability. He doesn't create condensed water like ordinary water-based ability users, but controls water... He's controlling the water in Lin Xuan's body. Termites, why didn't you mention such an important thing in your information!"
The termite sitting to the side, being scolded, felt very aggrieved. "Captain, didn't I write it down? His mental state is different from that of ordinary people, so his ability fluctuations are also different. Water-based ability is naturally a mutated category."
"..." This is terrifying deduction... Ji Yueyao covered her face, gritted her teeth and continued to sit steadily next to the chair, looking at Lin Xuan on the field who was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up.
"Captain!" Kaqi called out anxiously to Ji Yueyao, not understanding why she could remain so calm at this moment.
"Trust Lin Xuan." Ji Yueyao loosened her clenched fist, took a deep breath while looking at the two on the field, and said, "I believe he can win."
Kachi looked at Lin Xuan, who couldn't even stand up in the center of the field, and gritted her teeth, saying, "It's already like this... what's the point of winning!"
On the other side of the field, Wei Qin sighed in disappointment as he looked at the situation on the field: "Yin Longyuan, I was really looking forward to seeing the woman's special ability that you mentioned. Why is it her subordinate who is going up? Although I can feel his ability fluctuations, this guy's performance is really disappointing."
Yin Longyuan, standing to the side, seemed to frown slightly as well. "I didn't expect Ji Yueyao not to go on stage herself. Is she trying to conserve her strength? But maintaining a foothold in the Nanxiao base is the most important thing... Why go through all this trouble?"
Wei Qin sneered, "Yin Longyuan, as I said before, if there's no possibility of using these people, it's better to get rid of them all."
"Yes, sir." Yin Longyuan answered respectfully with his head bowed. Just as he finished speaking, the scene on the field suddenly changed.
With a loud bang, the soil around Wu Yun's feet suddenly turned upside down, and a huge vine grew rapidly. Then, the top of the vine suddenly expanded, and disgusting sap splattered everywhere. Wu Yun was then swallowed into the vine.
"Lord Wu Yun... has been eaten?" The audience was stunned.
"Did we win?" Kachi was stunned. The situation changed so fast that she didn't even have time to react.
