Sitting next to the bonfire, Chen Changxing looked at Qinchuan's smiling face with displeasure. He really wanted to punch Qinchuan's face.
If he had known that he only needed to give Bai Yuu two pearls to join this small group, he wouldn't have bothered to find Qinchuan to be the middleman!
Profiteer, he actually took Bai Yuu's gratitude as the difference in price!
What made Chen Changxing want to vomit blood and be speechless was that Qinchuan was only at the 1st level of Qi Refining Stage, the weakest among the four of them!
"Hey, aren't you afraid that I'll take revenge on you for doing this?"
Chen Changxing decided to get back some face. He had to let Qinchuan realize who was the boss of this group!
"You can try!"
Lv Zi looked at Chen Changxing coldly. She then took out two single-use magic tools from her bag and held them in her hands.
Seeing Lü Zi's action, Chen Changxing's face suddenly changed. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously!"
If he was hit by a disposable magic tool at such a close distance, even if he didn't die, he would lose a layer of skin. It was not worth it to lose half his life just to get back some face!
"Okay, I think we should talk about the later part of the assessment."
Qin Chuan smiled lightly. He stretched out his hand and patted Lv Zi's shoulder lightly, indicating for her to put away the disposable magic tool. After that, he looked at Chen Changxing and said, "I think that since you took the initiative to appear and join forces with us, then you must have attempted to continue forward by yourself. Do you have any discoveries that you can share with us?"
"I did have some discoveries."
Chen Changxing coughed and said indifferently, "From here, about a kilometer or so, we will enter the center of the Black Moon Mountain Range. And from there, the Black Moon Mountain Range will start to become strange."
Chen Changxing paused for a moment and looked at the people sitting quietly around him. The corner of his mouth twitched and he asked, "Shouldn't you be curious and ask me what's so strange about the center now?"
Chen Changxing's voice fell. The surroundings were still quiet, an awkward silence.
"Alright, I surrender."
Chen Changxing complained helplessly, "You people have no curiosity at all. This makes me feel very unaccomplished."
After complaining, Chen Changxing continued, "At the junction between the center and middle of the Black Moon Mountain Range, everything in the Black Moon Mountain Range has turned pitch black. Be it the soil, the grass, or the trees, everything has turned black!"
"All black?"
Qinchuan was a little surprised. Why was there such a strange change?
"I don't know the exact reason. At that time, I only walked in for about a hundred meters before retreating." Chen Changxing spread out his hands and said, "I don't know anything else."
"Why did you withdraw?
Did you encounter some kind of danger? "
Qinchuan was very cooperative and played the supporting role.
"Because I saw a mountain ghost."
Chen Changxing took a deep look at Qinchuan and said, "I can deal with a single mountain ghost, and I can barely deal with two. But what if there are dozens of them?"
As soon as Chen Changxing finished speaking, Qin Chuan and Lv Zi's expressions couldn't help but become slightly surprised. On the other hand, Bai Yuu remained expressionless as if she wasn't interested in all of this. Or perhaps, it could be said that she was already aware of this!
"When I discovered those mountain ghosts, they also discovered me at the same time. They chased after me, but when they reached the junction between the center and middle of the mountain range, they stopped, as if they were unwilling to leave the center of the Black Moon Mountain Range. I looked at those pitch-black mountain ghosts and the surrounding pitch-black environment, and I couldn't help but have a bold guess!"
Chen Changxing did not voice out his bold conjecture, but everyone present was already well aware of it.
The center of the Black Moon Mountain Range was pitch-black. Perhaps it had something to do with the mountain ghosts!
However, they didn't know which of the two was influencing who.
"If there are so many mountain ghosts in the center of the Black Moon Mountain Range, then even if the four of us work together, we might not be able to break through," Lü Zi frowned and said, "The Black Moon Combat Academy's official assessment shouldn't be so crazy, right?"
"Who knows."
Chen Changxing shrugged and said, "Anyway, if I had to break through by myself, I would definitely not go."
Qinchuan muttered to himself for a moment, then looked at Bai Yuu and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Bai Yuu raised her eyes and looked at Qinchuan. She was silent for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "No."
Qinchuan was speechless as he rolled his eyes. He then turned to Chen Changxing and said, "You can leave. Our alliance is now dissolved."
Chen Changxing was speechless.
"The Black Moon Combat Academy's official assessment doesn't really require us to pass through the Black Moon Mountain Range."
Suddenly, Bai Yuu opened her mouth again. This time, she spoke more than ever before. She looked seriously at Qinchuan and said, "As long as you can kill a mountain ghost and obtain a green pearl, you can hand it over to the academy after the assessment ends in two months. Then, you will naturally pass the assessment and become an official student."
Everyone was stunned when they heard Bai Yuu's words. No one had thought that she would reveal such shocking information at this time.
"How do you know?"
Qinchuan was curious. They were all examinees, so how did Bai Yuu know such insider information?
"I only said this much."
Clearly, explaining so much to everyone was already Bai Yuu's limit. She didn't want to continue on this topic.
"Although there are very few mountain ghosts in the middle layer, it doesn't mean that there aren't any. We still have more than a month. If we wait for them, we can definitely obtain the green pearl again."
Chen Changxing pondered for a moment before patting Qinchuan's shoulder. "You're right. Our alliance can be dissolved."
"If the two of you want to follow me, then you must protect yourselves."
Bai Yuu suddenly spoke again to Qinchuan and Lü Zi. "It will be difficult for me to protect you in the center."
Chen Changxing's eyes lit up when he heard this. "You still plan on going deeper?
Then bring me along! "
Qinchuan glanced at Chen Changxing and said, "Our alliance has already been dissolved. You said it yourself."
Chen Changxing was speechless.
If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid of Lü Zi's single-use magic tool, he would definitely let Qinchuan know who was the strongest in this group!
Bai Yuu didn't explicitly say that she wanted to bring Chen Changxing along, but Chen Changxing shamelessly refused to leave. He didn't believe that Bai Yuu could forcefully chase him away for the sake of those two pearls!
As for Qinchuan and Lü Zi's opinions, hehe, everyone was hanging on Bai Yuu's thigh, so no one should say anything!
