In any case, everyone first found a relatively safe place to rest.
Song Xia? Her injuries were quite serious. Xiao Feng's legs were fully recovered. He could walk normally, but it was hard to tell how long it would take for her to recover.
Either way, she was lucky to be alive.
"Luckily, Mu Ningxue froze her wounds in time to stop the blood from flowing out. Otherwise …" said Bai Tingting.
Song Xia regained her consciousness. She glanced at Mu Ningxue gratefully. Mu Ningxue nodded at her in return.
"What should we do now?" asked Zheng Bingxiao.
Someone was already seriously injured, and some of them were complaining about going back. They were not sure if they should continue with the mission.
"Either way, I won't leave," said Mu Ningxue.
Mu Ningxue did not force anyone, be it the people of the Pearl Institute or the Imperial City. Since it was a real training, a great test of her strength, there was no reason for her to back away.
Mu Nujiao had the same thought as Mu Ningxue. She came from a renowned clan. She clearly knew that if a powerful Magician could not endure the test of life and death, it would greatly affect their cultivation.
The improvement of one's strength was not something that could be achieved by sitting in a comfortable city and meditating with her eyes closed every day. It was more of a battle. She believed that if she left this time, she would not be able to muster up the courage to face any difficulties in the future!
"Since Mu Ningxue has decided to stay, I won't leave either …" said Liao Mingxuan.
Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao were both women. If they were so determined to stay, the others would be too ashamed to ask them to leave.
However, Liao Mingxuan, Shen Mingxiao, and Ming Cong's hostility toward Mofan did not subside. They still blamed Mofan for the previous crisis.
"Mo Fan, you better shut your mouth from now on. Someone like you who runs away as soon as there's danger, I really don't understand why the Pearl Institute would let someone with such a low character be an exchange student," Liao Mingxuan said without holding back.
Ming Cong nodded and said, "If it wasn't for my Deathstrike Magic Equipment, we might not even be able to make it out alive."
"If you want to fight, just come at me. You two can come at me together. I'll leave you half-crippled, so you can crawl back," Mofan walked up to Liao Mingxuan and Ming Cong.
Mofan did not put them in his eyes.
If you can fight, don't talk!
"Alright, stop arguing, let's not waste time. Let's move on to the next location." Mui Nujiao stepped forward and glared at Shen Mingxiao and Luo Song, who were planning to join in the commotion.
"I don't like to be in the same team as people who only know how to bark like dogs. You guys go to this location, I'll go to the next one. Out of sight, out of mind, it'll save us some time," Mofan did not waste any more time, suggesting that he would go alone.
Mui Nujiao immediately advised, "Mofan, don't be so rash."
"Yeah, it's safer if we stick together. If you're alone in this desolated city, we won't be able to take care of you," said Zheng Bingxiao.
"Let him go. Humph, I'd like to see if he can make it out alive," said Liao Mingxuan.
"Look, he's the one who wants to leave the team," said Luo Song.
Mofan did not waste any more time, and chose to leave the team.
Bai Tingting originally wanted to leave with Mofan. She trusted Mofan the most in the entire team, but Song Xia's injuries still required her care. She could not abandon Song Xia's life and willfully leave the team with Mofan.
Zhao Manyan also wanted to follow Mofan, but Mofan refused and asked him to stay with the team.
"Since you've decided, we'll keep in touch. You have to return to the team as soon as you finish surveying the location …" Mui Nujiao could see that Mofan was not happy with those people, so she had no other choice.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. I don't want to leave you alone with a group of ungrateful wolves," said Mofan.
It was understandable that Shen Mingxiao and Luo Song were hostile to him.
For Liao Mingxuan to suddenly make things difficult, it was clear that it was because of jealousy.
He could lose his life at any time in this godforsaken place, yet he was still in the mood to play games with others.
"Anyway, you have to be careful when you're alone," Mui Nujiao looked at Mofan. She knew that he was being bullied because he had shown off too much. After a moment of hesitation, she took out an orb that looked like a crystal and handed it to Mofan, "This is for you."
"What's this?" asked Mofan, confused.
"Crystal Guardian Orb, when you're in danger, you can pour your energy into it and crush it. A defensive crystal similar to water will immediately circulate around you, protecting you for a while," said Mui Nujiao.
"This … it's not cheap, right?" Mofan looked at Mui Nujiao's sincere face. His heart was filled with warmth.
"You'd better bring it back to me in one piece," said Mui Nujiao sternly.
Mui Nujiao knew Mo Fan was a talkative guy, and he did not really care about anything. However, after the danger they had just gone through, she knew that they would die if they made even the slightest mistake in the desolate city.
Mui Nujiao did not want anything to happen to Mofan. The Crystal Guardian Orb was a protective amulet she always carried with her.
"Thank you, Jiaojiao. If I really don't come back … you don't have to keep watch for me. Just find a good man and marry him, "Mofan teased.
Mui Nujiao did not wait for Mofan to reply. She turned around and left.
She did not want to talk to this guy anymore. What did he mean by finding a good man and marry him? Was she the kind of woman who would change her mind?
No, no, who was going to keep watch for him!
…
After teasing Mui Nujiao, Mofan left satisfied.
Before he left, Mu Ningxue said something to him. Mofan suddenly realized that he was quite popular with women.
Mo Fan quickly split up with the team and returned to the building that was on the verge of collapsing into ruins.
"Pseudomorphing Demon is a strange creature. Would it leave behind a Soul Essence after its death?" murmured Mofan to himself.
Mofan followed the collapsed walls and jumped to the location of the bitten head. After inspecting it, he let out a sigh.
Perhaps too much time had passed, causing the soul to dissipate, or perhaps the Pseudomorphing Demon did not leave behind a Soul Essence. Either way, Mofan did not find anything.
