Chapter 142

It was not that Daniel was overly alarmed, but that sudden arrow came so unexpectedly that even with his sharp eyes, he might not have been able to dodge it.

After letting out that roar, he saw the bushes in front start shaking violently, and soon after, many people came rushing out from within.

Once he recognized the clothes they were wearing, Daniel muttered a curse, thinking his mushroom stew was about to be spoiled.

"It's the people from Lanxicha!"

By the time Daniel ran back to the camp, he saw Chloe and the others still gathered around the campfire, eating roasted meat.

Daniel dashed to Chloe's side: "Still eating, we need to fight!"

Chloe raised her eyelids, giving him a nonchalant look as she swallowed a bite of roasted meat, and said casually:

"What are you afraid of? It's two against one."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Feng Xi appeared, parting the branches from not far away.

The military uniform of Lanxicha Military Academy was deep green, providing good camouflage in the Forest of Life.

When the main squad from Lanxicha emerged from the woods with menacing looks, they found The No.1 Military Academy and Tagar sitting around and having a barbecue.

Feng Xi: "...Not fighting?"

Ignoring Qu Yan, only Chloe remained.

She held a half-eaten skewer of roasted meat and responded off-topic:

"Want some?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Yan frowned:

"No, we only brought enough ingredients for ourselves."

"Unless they go hunt for themselves."

A vein throbbed at Feng Xi's temple: "...We're not eating."

He looked around and saw that these people were all focused on eating barbecue, with no intention of getting up to fight.

Feng Xi couldn't take it anymore:

"Don't you have any fighting spirit? This is the last competition!"

Chloe said lazily:

"What does it matter to me? The No.1 Military Academy is guaranteed to win the championship."

"..."

How annoying this blatant boasting was.

Feng Xi fell silent and looked at Qu Yan again.

Sensing his gaze, Qu Yan slowly turned her eyes towards him.

For a moment, Feng Xi saw an expression on her face that was strikingly similar to Chloe's.

Qu Yan: "Tagar has enough points to secure second place."

"If you really want to compete, you can go after the remaining Sasley Military Academy."

Look at how she had tormented Fuen.

After pressing the alert device, the sound prompt indicating Fuen's elimination resounded across the entire arena.

Once it was done, Feng Xi stood there for a few seconds before joining them by the campfire.

His face was handsome, but always carried a sense of danger, no matter what.

Indeed, Feng Xi had never considered himself a good person.

Thinking this, he looked up at Chloe.

She didn't seem to mind the extra person, or military academy, around.

She nonchalantly and happily roasted the skewers over the campfire, sharing the well-cooked ones with her friends and the burnt ones too, to test for poison.

Only Feng Xi felt a little sad, because he wanted to be Chloe's friend too.

Ever since she saved his life, Feng Xi felt he had to find her and repay that debt.

But now...

Feng Xi realized that a person who wasn't strong enough couldn't gain Chloe's attention.

He needed to improve.

As Feng Xi was lost in thought, someone suddenly sat down beside him.

He was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw that it was Qu Yan from Tagar Military Academy.

Qu Yan handed him a skewer of roasted meat: "Shall we chat?"

...

Daniel had a skewer of meat in his mouth as he looked in another direction, elbowing Chloe's shoulder:

"Hey, what do you think Sis Qu is chatting with that little brat about?"

Chloe raised her eyelids and glanced over:

"Feng Xi is quite capable, so Sis Qu is probably trying to recruit him to Tagar Military Academy."

Pausing for a moment, she continued:

"I went to check on Lanxicha earlier and found no records of this military academy on the continent. They were probably brought in by the tournament organizers to make up the numbers."

This was a good thing, for with Feng Xi's abilities, he would eventually achieve great things.

Chloe pondered as she chewed on the roasted meat.

Recently, many talents had emerged from various races, and even someone as reckless and foolish as Daniel couldn't be ignored in terms of strength.

The atmosphere in the camp was extremely harmonious and joyful.

Just as Chloe was about to take a nap, a sudden explosion came from the front.

In a daze, the ground shook, and when she looked up, a plume of white smoke was rising into the sky.

Chloe steadied herself and frowned:

"What happened up ahead?"
