301 The Teams Collapse (2/2)
”Where are the others?” Mu Nujiao switched the topic to prevent the atmosphere from turning awkward.
”I don't know, I wouldn't care about their life and death,” Mo Fan said indifferently.
”How can you say that?” Mu Nujiao rolled her eyes at him.
”Come, take this back. It was a close call when we were killing the Bewitching Magic Spider. However, I wasn't willing to use your lucky charm.” Mo Fan gave the orb back.
Mu Nujiao also returned the Focus necklace to him. She blushed again when she heard Mo Fan describing it like they were exchanging love tokens between them. She immediately walked off, not willing to continue talking with the shameless prick.
She was still feeling absent-minded. Her heart had been acting weird after being teased by Mo Fan...
------
Mo Fan and Mu Nujiao soon found Zhao Manting and Bai Tingting.
They were unharmed, but Zheng Bingxiao was severely injured, as he was struck head-on by Zhao Mingyue's Intermediate Fire Magic. He was almost roasted alive.
Bai Tingting was trying her best to treat his wounds. She had no idea if he could make it.
Even if Zheng Bingxiao made it, he would feel extremely hopeless knowing that he had almost died to an ally instead of a demon beast.
The infighting had left everyone injured and consumed by extreme fatigue. Most importantly, the trust between the students no longer existed. Song Xia was unconscious, Zheng Bingxiao was heavily burned, and Xu Dalong's arm had been bitten off...
The group was a complete mess. Everyone was sitting in different groups, just like before they lost control of their minds.
”Let's retreat. We'll go back at dawn,” Zhao Manting proposed.
”I can't stay here any longer, either,” Luo Song agreed.
”Our mission is still ongoing, we can't leave now...” Lu Zhenghe immediately panicked, as if he was scared that the group would leave.
”Mission my ass, I almost lost my life. Either way, I won't be staying here any longer,” Xu Dalong snapped furiously.
His arm was bitten off by Lu Zhenghe's Violent Mark Wolf. He thought Lu Zhenghe had gone too far with his attack, even though he was bewitched.
As for Ming Cong and Liao Mingxuan, who were deeply under the bewitchment, the former had totally disappeared. Liao Mingxuan was fine, but he was only sitting in a corner with a weird expression.
Since Liao Mingxuan regained his wits, he had been acting strange, even worse than he was bewitched.
As for the vanished Ming Cong, no one was in the mood to search for him, as they were all weary. They would try searching for him during the daylight tomorrow. It was the most they could do.
Everyone was having trouble looking after themselves. They were not in the mood to care for others.
No one had expected to stumble into such a deadly beast that was able to control their minds, nor expect that the elite group of students would collapse in just one night.
