1886 Entering the Mountain
You Xin's face flushed bright red!
The little lady's intermittent sentences practically stifled her breathing!
Look at how easily she made such demands!
Sunlight Academy's herb plantation?
The gall she had to be so greedy!
The little lady looked down on her when she saw that the latter had shut up with a reddened face. "This won't do, and that won't do. Who would be willing to bet with a pauper? Go scram!"
Everyone: "…"
Dao Wuji looked bizarrely at Crown Prince Mo, who was smiling on the side.
Boss's wife was too terrifying!
Irritated, the little stoic eyed You Xin before turning around and walking back to Mo Lian and the others.
Zhou Danjin also twitched his mouth and quickly declared, "Let's head out."
"We're heading out!"
Everybody shuffled after the mentors toward Mount Tai.
Meanwhile, You Xin still wanted to yell something but was stopped by Sunlight Academy's head mentor.
Their team had arrived late, so the teams before them had probably already gotten near the zombie base.
Even though they all had the same amount of time, it was more advantageous to be moving with everyone else.
Otherwise, their small team would be at a huge disadvantage fighting alone against a congregation of zombies.
You Xin's team entered the forest after Qiao Mu's, adn they advanced along the mountainous path.
The sky was dark, and the wind was strong in the mountains at night. Mo Lian took out a cape from his inner world and wrapped it around Qiao Mu.
Wei Xu and company turned a blind eye.
They didn't know if it was because they had gotten used to these two's sappy interactions during their journey, but they felt that they had probably become immune!
Zhou Danjin took out a map and pointed ahead. "If we head up and then make a turn, the assembly place should be there."
"I wonder if there are still people there." After all, they had arrived very late. It was possible that the first groups had already headed deep into Mount Tai already.
As expected, by the time Qiao Mu's group got to the assembly place, there were only two teams of around ten people sleeping by the bonfire.
There were at least several hundred teams entering the mountain this time as academies of all sizes in the Six Prefectures had congregated here. However, the preliminaries would eliminate a large portion.
The two people on night duty turned toward the source of the noise when they heard footsteps.
As they were strangers, there weren't really any pleasantries to exchange. Zhou Danjin and the other party simply nodded at each other as a greeting.
The people on night duty observed them curiously. They had thought that their teams were the last to arrive and did not expect that there'd be teams coming even later. They were just heedless like their head mentor!
"Rest for four hours, and we'll set out at daylight," Zhou Danjin decided.
It was rather dangerous to trek through an unfamiliar mountain at night, as it was hard to determine orientation and possible pitfalls ahead. They could spare this bit of time.
Everybody quickly sat down cross-legged. When they turned around, they saw Crown Prince Mo retrieving a thick mat for the little stoic to sit on. He also wrapped her up in a blanket…
Mentor Wei Xu knew that his teeth would ache at this sight, so he decided to ignore the young couple. He lay down while fully clothed and heard Zhou Danjin say, "Little Fatty, you're on night duty."
The little fatty, Kou Hongwen, acknowledged with a nod. "Yes, Mentor."
Zhou Danjin was gratified.
