After hugging Mu Nujiao and Zhao Manyan, Tang Miao walked openly towards Mu Ningxue.
The moment Mu Ningxue saw Tang Miao approaching, a blush spread across her stunningly beautiful face... because she had already anticipated what was about to happen!
And Tang Miao did not disappoint her; as soon as she reacted, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
With a soft, fragrant beauty in his arms, Tang Miao's face showed pure enjoyment. Especially when he recalled that day, the soft, perfectly sized... hehe... a surge of wicked desire involuntarily threatened to erupt.
However, he knew when to stop. Before Mu Ningxue noticed anything amiss, Tang Miao released her soft body.
Although he had saved her several times, Tang Miao could tell that Mu Ningxue had not fallen for him.
Indeed, this cold beauty and the 'big rabbit' were complete opposites.
After Tang Miao released Mu Ningxue, he saw Mu Nujiao behind him pouting slightly, as if a bit displeased. He then said, "I'm fine. You all should rest too. We can return to the city tomorrow."
The three of them nodded simultaneously. As for "Mo Fan," neither Mu Ningxue nor the other two mentioned him again.
After all, they had searched for him, and whether Mo Fan was still alive depended solely on his own luck... The night passed without incident, and at dawn the next day, the four of them set off to leave the place.
Zhao Manyan declared that he didn't want to stay in this cursed place for another day!
Leaving aside the terrifying demon beasts, just seeing Tang Miao and the other two exchanging glances made this carnivore feel a sense of impending disaster... The most, most, most important thing was that there were two goddess-level beauties here, yet not a single one had any connection to him!
Being with Tang Miao, he felt a deep sense of defeat. His previous prowess in wooing girls had been utterly crushed during this wilderness city trial...
Gradually, the four of them finally exited the wilderness city. They returned to the path they had come from. The sky had completely brightened, and there were bird calls in the woods outside the city, sounding very pleasant, as if slightly dispelling the atmosphere of death in the wilderness city.
As far as the eye could see, there were still the moss-covered and overgrown train tracks, stretching through the forest into the distance, leading to the city which, to the three of them, was practically paradise.
Of course, Tang Miao actually didn't want to rush back, after all, this was a good place to earn money.
Especially since he had the strength to retreat safely, he wanted even more to hunt demon beasts in the wild.
However, the three of them definitely couldn't do that, and even Tang Miao didn't have the confidence to ensure their safety while leading them through this demon-infested place.
So, he decided to return to the city with them.
"Whoosh..."
"Whoosh..."
Beneath the white clouds, chaotic air currents rapidly swept by, and the sound of flapping wings came, parting the clouds with a sky-blue line...
A man wearing a military robe similar to Lu Nian's earlier, flapped his wind wings and flew towards them.
The man had handsome features and noticeable stubble. Although his collar was turned up, a very conspicuous scar could still be seen on his neck, extending down to his chest...
Upon seeing the newcomer, Mu Nujiao and Zhao Manyan both panicked! With the devil Lu Nian as a precedent, they instinctively felt a little afraid of this military mage...
"Chief Instructor Zhan Kong?"
Mu Ningxue, however, mumbled after clearly seeing the person.
Hearing this, Zhao Manyan said, "Goddess Mu, you know him?"
Mu Ningxue nodded, then looked at Tang Miao and the other two and said, "He is our Bo City's Chief Instructor, Zhan Kong!"
Mu Ningxue was just a little curious: shouldn't this Chief Instructor be in charge of the Southern Military Region? Why would he come to this Dongting Lake Plain?
Zhan Kong also stopped in front of them at this moment, glanced at the four, and finally looked at Mu Ningxue, saying, "Are you all alright? What about that devil Lu Nian?"
Among the people here, Zhan Kong only knew Mu Ningxue. After all, he had guarded Bo City for many years, and Mu Ningxue was from Bo City. As for Tang Miao and the other two, he truly didn't recognize them.
Mu Ningxue didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "Chief Instructor, how do you know about Lu Nian's matter?"
After the Bo City disaster, Zhan Kong had always kept an eye on Mo Fan, including asking Headmaster Xiao to take special care of him. Knowing that Mo Fan's innate dual elements would eventually become public, upon learning about the terrifying military experiment of the Demon Element, he had always kept people informed of the movements of Lu Nian's military department. Sure enough, they made their move.
And after learning about this trial, he rushed here. After all, it wasn't just Mo Fan who came for this trial, but also Tang Miao!
But now it seemed he was a little late. When he met Mo Fan on the way, after hearing Mo Fan's explanation, Zhan Kong knew the number of people who had died...
Who would have thought that Lu Nian would be so deranged as to silence all the students participating in the trial here.
These students were all elite students from the Imperial Capital and the Demon Capital, with limitless futures, yet because of Lu Nian's ambition, they tragically died in this wilderness city!
"..."
After hearing Zhan Kong explain why he had come, Mu Ningxue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She then briefly recounted the events of the past few days. Of course, Mu Ningxue did not mention Tang Miao's breakthrough to the advanced level.
And when Zhan Kong learned that they had jointly dealt with Lu Nian, his eyes filled with disbelief!
After all, even he wasn't confident he could defeat Lu Nian... However, when his gaze fell on Tang Miao, he felt that perhaps it was indeed possible. Just like when Mo Fan first started his trial, didn't he kill a Darkwing Wolf by himself?
Tang Miao, who was even more abnormal than Mo Fan, with his four fully mastered elements, plus the domain power of two soul seeds, and Mu Ningxue, the genius of Bo City, even killing Lu Nian didn't seem impossible...
Having confirmed that they were fine, Zhan Kong stopped talking nonsense and said, "Alright, since Lu Nian is dead, I'll take you back to the city."
He was too lazy to ask how they killed Lu Nian; after all, who doesn't have a secret?
As long as this devil was eliminated, wasn't that enough!
As for his corpse, Zhan Kong didn't think about recovering it. According to Mu Ningxue, the other party should have already been fed to the demon beasts of this wilderness city.
Led by Zhan Kong, they had a relatively safe journey. Even when encountering dozens of demon beasts, Zhan Kong's single advanced fire magic spell effortlessly annihilated them.
Tang Miao also acted as a 'small account' this time, following along to 'mix in' with the dungeon. Along the way, he would occasionally provoke some demon beasts, after all, why not use free labor!
