Chapter 339 – The Trap (Part One)

“If the examiner didn’t say anything, then it must be allowed.”

Ming Siye slightly furrowed his brows.

“Heh, what a pity. If I’d known earlier, I would’ve brought our Jin Ye along too!” Bai Jingchen pushed up his glasses regretfully. Little did the three of them know, Ye Yunxi behind them slightly raised her head and glanced at Hades soaring through the sky.

A pity??

Well, not really. Others only have one pet, but we have two!

Jiang Rouyi said something to that dog, and the large black dog fiercely barked several times in their direction before Jiang Rouyi walked away with a proud expression.

“Is Rongyang going all out to take first place?” Heishui Cheng couldn’t help but frown.

Bai Jingchen said, “Probably provoked by what our junior Yunxi said!”

Ye Yunxi shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t think I said anything wrong.”

“Heh, you were absolutely right. Now, let’s set off!”

The four of them shouldered their backpacks and began climbing the mountain from another direction.

The sounds of people gradually faded away, leaving complete silence around them.

The camouflage uniforms concealed them within the green jungle. A gentle breeze blew, dispersing some of the thick fog, but the dew became heavier, dampening their clothes.

The destination was quite far from here. Their task was to quickly avoid others, get as close to the destination as possible, then set up defenses in the surrounding area to hinder other teams from advancing. Finally, they needed to reach the destination within the specified time and seize first place!

The mountain was vast, and after walking for a long time, they hadn’t found any spider silk clues. As the sun set in the west, they needed to find a place to rest.

The four of them looked around, and Ming Siye said, “There’s a cave ahead.”

Bai Jingchen shook his head. “Second Young Master, that place is easily discovered. It’s better to find a hidden spot that’s not easily noticeable.”

Heishui Cheng pouted. “I think everywhere is easily discovered, and we can’t even light a fire at night…”

Bai Jingchen thought for a moment, then looked at Ye Yunxi. “Hey, junior, do you have any good suggestions?”

When asked, Ye Yunxi curved the corners of her mouth and pointed upward with her finger.

Heishui Cheng was going crazy: “No way, junior! You want us to sleep in the sky?? Can we even get up there?? We’d probably only get up there if we’re dead!”

Bai Jingchen also looked surprised as he pushed up his glasses, while the Second Young Master directly scoffed and turned to look elsewhere.

“Who said anything about sleeping in the sky?” Ye Yunxi narrowed her eyes and curved her lips. “Heishui senior, with your sturdy build, you can’t even fly!”

“Then what do you mean by that?”

Everyone looked over with surprised expressions.

But Ye Yunxi pointed at several trees in the distance. “We’ll sleep in the trees!”

“In the trees?”

“Yes! First, it’s not easily discovered. Second, it’s relatively safe. You go up first. I’ll conceal our traces, and by the way…”

Ye Yunxi looked at the surrounding terrain and narrowed her eyes.

“And by the way, what?”” Heishui Cheng was very curious.

Ye Yunxi chuckled, her beautiful face showing a hint of willfulness. “How about also eliminating a few teams?””

“Eliminate?!”

Heishui Cheng screamed excitedly: “That would be absolutely wonderful! But will any teams come?”

Ye Yunxi looked up at Hades circling overhead, her dark eyes filled with confidence.

“They will!”

Hades had already given the warning!

This one was raised on feed from the system – it definitely has that much perception!At first, the group was skeptical, but seeing Ye Yunxi’s unwavering confidence, somehow both Heishui Cheng and Bai Jingchen chose to believe her.

“Alright, we’ll help you dig the traps, Second Young Master…”
