Chapter 2200 - Mistook the Wind for Rain (2/2)

“The trunks of these trees are very thick. The trees can also grow very densely, allowing them to be grown around a city on a mountain as natural walls to fend off demon creatures. The leaves of these trees have sharp edges, which will cut demon creatures that are good at climbing. We should be safe for the time being,” Sharjah pronounced.

Mo Fan carefully checked their surroundings and noticed how unique the trees were. It was like a barrier enclosing the area. Mo Fan did not have to worry about the students being ambushed by the Mountain Men.

“Don’t leave this place no matter what you hear or see. I’ll go find the others,” Mo Fan reminded the students.

“Got it!” Boleyn nodded.

“Remember, even if you hear my voice, don’t believe it unless you see me talking in front of you. Sharjah, did you hear me? As the student union’s president, it’s your job to lead them!” Mo Fan repeated.

“Sir, have you read Journey to the West?” Sharjah asked.

“Sharjah, I know you are knowledgeable, but now is not the time for it… You aren’t wrong, either. It’s true that I have two unreliable teammates! I have to clean up their messes every time.”

“What I meant was, you are as long-winded as the Sage.”

Mo Fan had just turned into a shadow sparrow, and almost lost his balance and crashed into the sharp leaves when he heard her comment!

This Sharjah was seriously unattractive at times. As her teacher, he had to teach her to behave herself!

Five minutes after Mo Fan left, Sunny, who was keeping an eye on any potential danger with his Sound Element, broke out in a cold sweat.

“President, I hear a lot of footsteps,” Sunny told her quietly.

“Just pretend you didn’t hear them,” Sharjah replied calmly.

“That’s impossible, they are only five hundred meters away at most! They are extremely quick and great in numbers. It’s like we have entered the Mountain Men’s den. These trees aren’t going to hold them back. They have immense strength! They can just smash their way in. We will be surrounded in five minutes!” Sunny blurted out in a panic.

“You heard what the lecturer said. We are staying here,” Sharjah answered calmly.

“But there are too many of them. I don’t even dare to tell the others, as it might scare them. President, please come up with a plan. It’s not too late to run now. There will be no escape once we are surrounded!” Sunny’s face was twitching in fear.

“How do you know what you heard is real?” Sharjah asked.

“But what if it’s real? Those are footsteps, not voices I heard!” Sunny said.

“If they can mimic humans’ voices, isn’t it even easier to mimic footsteps?”

“President…”

“Stop using your magic and stay here, and don’t tell anyone what you heard!” Sharjah glared at Sunny.

Sharjah suddenly realized something after she finished the sentence. She looked at the others and noticed they were all looking at her and Sunny.

“Damn it, I should have written it down!” Sharjah cursed.

It was obvious that the Mountain Men had passed on their conversation to the students. They all knew Sunny had heard a lot of footsteps approaching.

One of the young men, his eyes now brimming with fear, blurted out, “Are we really surrounded by the Mountain Men?”
