Chapter 5651: I'm Not Being Cowardly
When the little deadpan said that, everyone else was at a loss for words. In the end, they just looked at each other and sped up, smearing mud mixed with bird droppings on their faces and hands.
Well, after everyone had applied it, the only benefit was probably that everyone smelled equally bad. With that pervasive odor in the air, no one could really complain about anyone else.
The flock of black birds were repelled by the stench, scattering far off into the sky. They were still a dense, vast mass, but they simply wouldn't come down.
The little deadpan simply removed her eggshell-shaped defensive shield, looked at everyone expressionlessly, and clenched her small fist, "Go!"
For some unknown reason, everyone felt like the situation was akin to... forcing ducks onto a perch. This Madam Mo was truly a talent for commanding! With a single order, everyone, however reluctantly, started moving.
They took the yellow vine rope and quickly swung it upwards. Once, twice, thrice...
The pot-bellied man wiped away sweat, looking at the young madam with an embarrassed expression. "Uh... Madam Mo, it doesn't seem to be swinging up."
Qiao Mu was almost brought to tears by their stupidity. Luckily, her teammates back then weren't these people, otherwise, she would have gone mad—oh no, she might have just gotten angry and beaten them up first.
Without using some holy power, how could this rope be thrown to the top of such a high mountain? A bunch of blockheads!
She tied two seeds to one end of the rope and swiftly flung it towards the mountain peak. As a result, the rope wrapped around two rapidly growing large trees, firmly securing itself at the mountaintop, and the long yellow vine rope obediently hung down. The rope was long enough; it could even span twice the distance if needed.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then moved forward in single file, quickly scurrying up the yellow vine rope to the mountaintop. From their vantage point on the mountaintop, they could see the waterfall that had tragically swept them into the deep pool earlier. The waterfall cascaded, the water sparkled, and a cool, refreshing chill wafted towards them.
Qiao Mu, Mo Lian, and their group also climbed up the yellow vine rope at this point. Swiftly collecting the rope and stuffing it into her inner realm, Qiao Mu looked back at everyone with an expressionless face, "Go!"
This Madam Mo was truly stingy! Look how quickly and skillfully she collected things. She must have been used to it.
"Attack!" At Qiao Mu's command, the miserable group from the Holy Domain self-consciously charged forward. The team, without any hierarchy, put in effort and struggled, striking the barrier fiercely with loud thumps.
Qiao Mu, leading Eastern Imperial Lord and his group, stood by, watching for a while, then shook her head, "You guys are getting worse and worse."
Everyone: ... You're spewing nonsense, why don't you go then! Everyone only dared to grumble these thoughts internally. In reality, they wouldn't dare to say it. If they did, they'd definitely get a sharp retort, no need to even think about it.
The young madam would surely say: You merely exerted a little effort, tearing a tiny crack in the barrier. The main contribution was still my holy power beads.
Everyone gritted their teeth and steeled their resolve, continuing to hack and chisel frantically.
Finally, a tiny crack appeared in the barrier. Everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Quick, Madam Mo, a crack has appeared!"
Without needing anyone to say more, Qiao Mu flicked her finger, and a holy power bead already rolled over. Just as the holy power bead erupted with a massive burst of energy, and a large mushroom cloud appeared in the air, a figure was kicked out of the void, letting out an "ouch" as he flailed and fell, almost breaking his front teeth in a face-plant.
