Mofan's head began to hurt.
These troublesome Hillmen were always using the same trick. He had already fallen for the same trick on Mount Kunyu, and now he was falling for it again!
"Let's head to the base first. I'll figure out a way to gather the others," Mofan said.
"There is indeed a garden nearby, but unfortunately, there is no one guarding it," Sharjah said, taking out a map.
"Sharjah, how good are you at fighting?" Mofan asked her.
If Sharjah was able to become the president of the student union, she should be outstanding in every aspect. Zhao Manyan, Mu Bai, and Miyamoto Shin had all been tricked by the Hillmen. Mo Fan could not possibly save so many places on his own. If he knew it would be so troublesome, he should have Summoned Apas and asked her to intimidate the Hillmen with her Queen's Aura!
He could not explain himself by summoning Apas now. He had to rely on the students to resolve the problem.
"I can save my own life, but it's hard to save others," Sharjah said.
"Sharjah, you are the representative of the students. How can you be biased?" Mofan rebuked her.
"Lecturer Mo Yifan, is it wrong that I don't like fighting?"
Mofan slapped his forehead. He always thought Sharjah was hiding her true strength, but it turned out that she was just a nerd who was not good at fighting …
"Forget it, I'll bring you to the base first. Err … does anyone know the way?"
Mofan had lost his sense of direction. He had no idea where the base that Mubai had mentioned was.
The rest of the students shook their heads. It was their first time coming to the other side of Earthworm Gully. How could they possibly know the way?
"Sharjah!" Mofan looked at the president of the student union.
Sharjah had a helpless look. She was just following Mofan around because she admired him. Why did she have to do everything for him?
"I think it's this way," Sharjah said, pointing.
"Mm, let's go. Let's follow Sharjah … Wait, Sharjah, come closer and let me see your lips," Mofan said to Sharjah when he realized something.
Sharjah understood what Mofan meant. She went up to Mofan and told him which way to go. Her lips were almost touching Mofan's face. Mofan finally nodded in satisfaction.
"Lecturer, we can actually write down the important information that we want to share," Sharjah reminded Mo Fan. She was a little embarrassed by the way they were talking.
"It's fine, I like seeing your lips … ugh, I think it's a good idea," Mofan said.
…
The base was not too far away. The Hillmen did not dare to attack them brazenly when Mofan's powerful aura of darkness was intimidating them. They arrived at the base without any trouble. Mofan noticed that the place was no different from a barren mountain. It was just a wall made of cedar trees, sealing off the place like a fortress.
As a matter of fact, the place where the Mountain Woman Man had attacked the two men was the outskirts of the base. Upon entering the base, one would discover a large patch of Hemlock Fir Trees planted there. The sturdy Hemlock Fir Trees could be used as a defensive wall.
"These Ironleaf Fir Trees have thick trunks and can grow close together. They can be used as defensive walls in cities with rolling hills. It's an important line of defense against demon creatures. The leaves are double-edged. Even demon creatures that are good at climbing will be injured by them, so we should be safe for now," Sharjah said.
Mofan checked the surroundings and noticed that the Ironleaf Cedar Trees were quite unique. They were like a huge barrier protecting the students. Mofan did not have to worry about the students being attacked by Hillmen that appeared out of nowhere.
"I don't care what you hear or what you see, don't leave the Ironleaf Cedar Trees. I'm going to see where the other lecturers are," Mofan reminded his students.
"Got it, sir!" Boleyn nodded.
"Remember, even if you hear what I say, you can't believe it unless you see it with your own eyes. Sharjah, did you hear that? As the president of the student union, you have to lead the way!" Mo Fan repeated.
"Sir, have you read Journey to the West?" Sharjah asked.
"Sharjah, you're still trying to show off your knowledge at a time like this … but you're right, my two idiotic teammates are really troublesome! I'll be going now. "
"What I meant was, you're as naggy as Elder Tang."
Mofan, who had just turned into a Shadow Sparrow, stumbled in the air. He almost fell into the forest of sharp leaves!
Sometimes, Sharjah wasn't cute at all. As her teacher, he had to teach her well in the future.
…
Around five minutes after Mofan left, Sunny, who was on alert, suddenly felt nervous. His forehead was covered in sweat.
"President, I heard a lot of footsteps," Sunny said to Sharjah.
"Just pretend you didn't hear it," Sharjah said.
"How is that possible? They are at most five hundred meters away from us. They are extremely fast, and there are so many of them. It's like a nest of Hillmen. How could these plants possibly stop such a huge nest of Hillmen? They are so strong. They can easily break through the defenses even if they don't jump over. We will be surrounded in five minutes!" Sunny blurted out in a panic.
"The lecturer told us to stay here, so we'll stay here," Sharjah said.
"But there are so many of them. I don't even dare to tell the others. I'm afraid they will be scared. President, you should hurry up and think of a way out. We can still make it if we run away now. We won't be able to escape if we are surrounded!" Sunny's face twitched in fear.
"How do you know if what you heard was real?" Sharjah asked.
"But what if it's real? Those are footsteps, not voices!" Sunny said confidently.
"If we can imitate people's voices, isn't it easier to imitate footsteps?"
"President …"
"Stop using your magic and stay here. Don't tell anyone else what you've heard!" Sharjah glared at Sunny.
After saying this, Sharjah suddenly realized something. She glanced at the other students and found that they were all looking at her and Sonny.
"Damn it, I should have written it down!" Sharjah cursed.
Obviously, the Hillman had told the other students what he had just said. The other students all knew that Sunny had heard the footsteps.
