Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

Chapter 232 Parkour Academy 32

Su Jinyu couldn't help but swallow hard. "This is too terrifying."

Xiao Ruochen pulled the person aside, "Get out of here first! I'll go first, Li Mo will cover the rear, Zhang Yang and Jiang Wentao, watch the left and right. Mu Bai... protect everyone." Then he glanced at Zhen Zixuan.

Zhen Zixuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

Xiao Ruochen truly lived up to his reputation as the chosen one; he reacted quickly, acted decisively, and made arrangements rapidly.

Xiao Ruochen stood at the forefront, raising his hand to unleash a bolt of lightning that instantly cleaved a large swath of tree roots in front of him into dust. The dust scattered and drifted through the air, obscuring everyone's vision, creating a hazy, almost deadly beauty.

Xiao Ruochen put on his goggles and stepped into the hazy atmosphere he had created. The gray-black dust silently settled on him, and perhaps he would inhale it as well.

Qin Baobao looked up and saw this scene, unconsciously holding her breath. It was as if the dust was floating around her, and could enter her body at any moment.

"Stay close to me. Mu Bai, watch out for attacks from underground, Zhang Yang, freeze the ground." Qin Baobao quickly snapped back to reality and unleashed a wind-based ability. The world returned to clarity, but now, countless tree roots, baring their fangs and claws, blocked the way. Dense, twisted and grotesque, they resembled a swarm of snakes dancing wildly, devoid of any beauty.

Li Mo unleashed a wall of flames to block the danger behind him.

After Zhang Yang froze the ground, he released icicles to freeze the target. Then, others swarmed forward, smashing the ice sculptures one after another.

The most critical situation was for Jiang Wentao. Wood-based abilities were already at a disadvantage against plants, but Jiang Wentao's attacks were the most ferocious. Several times, tree roots emerged from the ground, trying to carry him away. Jiang Wentao seemed to have become a walking, unparalleled delicacy, something any monster would want to devour.

"The attacks are too fierce; we can't move at all. This thing seems to be stalling for time. The longer it goes on, the more intense the attacks become. At our current speed, we'll just be worn down and killed."

"This thing seems to really like me." It even tore my clothes.

Xiao Ruochen glanced at Jiang Wentao when he had a spare moment. Jiang Wentao seemed to be receiving special treatment, and he was constantly being overwhelmed and in dangerous situations. Several times, he was almost dragged away by the tree roots that had broken through the soil.

"Zhen Zixuan, how much longer until we can leave?"

"About two hundred meters."

"Let's take a gamble, everyone stick close to me."

Xiao Ruochen instantly unleashed a path of lightning, and amidst the swirling dust, he grabbed Su Jinyu beside him and ran forward quickly.

Jiang Wentao, as was his habit, took Zhang Yang with him and quickly disappeared into the fog.

In the end, only Li Mo, Zhen Zixuan, and Mu Bai remained.

Li Mo glanced at Mu Bai, then at Zhen Zixuan, and reluctantly dragged Zhen Zixuan along with them.

Qin Baobao unleashed her wind-based superpower, clearing away the trash in the air, and then slowly drifted down behind.

The fog dissipated, and everyone rushed out at an even faster pace. Li Mo glanced back every now and then to check on Mu Bai's safety.

Thanks to Xiao Ruochen's intervention, the rescue was relatively safe.

Su Jinyu plopped down on the ground, panting heavily. That was fast; her legs were about to break. As a girl, why was she being treated worse than Zhang Yang, a boy?

As someone who provides healing, Su Jinyu learned what jealousy was for the first time.

Zhen Zixuan got up from the ground, clutching his bleeding knee. He then looked at Su Jinyu, who was equally disheveled.

Xiao Ruochen's face was ashen, and his expression was very unpleasant.

Li Mo approached Qin Baobao, head bowed, looking pitiful and aggrieved.

Apart from Qin Baobao, everyone involved in the rescue was injured to some extent.

"What on earth is this thing? Does anyone know?"

"Could you get down? My legs hurt terribly."

Everyone instinctively looked over; Jiang Wentao's calf was covered in blood. Through his torn clothes, they could see a mangled wound, as if something had bitten off a large chunk of flesh.

Blood dripped from Jiang Wentao's feet, extending deep into the jungle.

"I'm such a hero, I managed to run this far even after being bitten." He said this casually as he walked over to Su Jinyu. "Su Jinyu, can you help me treat this?"

Su Jinyu calmed her breathing, raised her soft hand, and released her supernatural power onto Jiang Wentao's leg.

"What exactly is this thing? I have no clue either. Everyone, go back and investigate."

"By the way, has anyone seen Instructor Wang?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Isn't Instructor Wang at the base?"

"I didn't see it."

"Neither did I."

……

"Let's go back first." Xiao Ruochen's expression became even more serious.

As the team leader, it was my negligence. The jungle is inherently dangerous, and accidents can happen at any time. Because of my previous composure, I made a wrong judgment and almost caused a disaster. I only hope that my mentor is safe and sound.

The group of seven rushed back to the base and saw Instructor Wang standing on a tree branch, looking very relaxed and smiling.

Xiao Ruochen's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately settled down.

Upon seeing the person return, the people at the base immediately came out to greet them.

They exchanged information, but no one could tell them where the thing came from.

"It seems to be a new species."

"Such a huge thing, didn't anyone discover it in previous years?"

“The graduation season of previous years is not on this planet.”

"So, which group of explorers are we?" Zhang Yang asked a crucial question, which was met with silence from everyone.

"Has this planet not been explored yet?"

"Perhaps the teacher knows, why don't we go ask them?"

"If I had said it earlier, I wouldn't have waited until now."

……

"Mu Bai, are you tired? These are the fruits I picked this morning. They're so sweet, I've already tasted them." While everyone was discussing, Li Mo snuggled up to Qin Baobao's side again.

Qin Baobao took the fruit, took out a piece of chocolate from her backpack and handed it over, then started crunching on the fruit.

The unripe fruit, sweet and sour, made a crisp sound when bitten. This attracted frequent glances from others, while their stomachs protested involuntarily.

"Chocolate?" Love-struck Li Mo started overthinking again. "I knew you liked me. Don't worry, I'll give you a truckload of chocolates next Valentine's Day. Then we'll go to the beach together, take a boat trip, collect seashells..." Li Mo became increasingly excited, endlessly fantasizing about the future, almost to the point of having children.

"Stop! Give it back if you're not going to eat it."

"Hehe, I'll eat, I'll eat." His silly grin no longer betrayed his former unruly nature.

Indeed, love makes people less intelligent.

The people nearby instinctively moved away, distancing themselves from the area. The naiveté of love shouldn't be contagious; it's too terrible, and we don't want to become like that. Back! Back! Back!

During the meal, Jiang Wentao fawned over Professor Wang, showering him with compliments. Professor Wang listened with pleasure, a slight smile playing on his lips, accepting the compliments with a cool and aloof air, but he didn't provide any of the information he wanted; his mouth remained impeccably sealed.

"How about it? It won't work, will it?" They insisted on going up there and running into a wall.

There really are no shortcuts in this world.

"When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their resolve, strains their muscles and bones, and starves their body. You little ones, I'm doing this for your own good." Instructor Wang walked past them leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Wentao: ...

Zhang Yang: ...

One sentence, "It's for your own good," left them speechless.

What can I do? I can only try my best.

You can't rely on anyone, whether they're a person or a mountain.
