Mentors' Trap (Bonus Chapter)
Mu Ningxue originally wanted to go, after all, she was short of resources. However, Tang Miao looked at her, and his meaning was clear: he disagreed!
Ultimately, she had no choice but to give up this opportunity.
Mu Ningxue herself didn't know when it started, but she had become extremely obedient to Tang Miao...
Perhaps it's because Tang Miao at night is truly "terrifying"?
Following Tang Miao's signal, Jiang Shaoxu, Zhao Manyan, and the others, not lacking in resources, all declined.
Of course, after the bounty was gone, the group began a new journey.
Without resources this time, they need to complete new tasks and some other bounties.
With no one going to the rescue, the plan proceeded as usual. Ai Jiangtu led the main force away first, while Nan Jue was responsible for waiting here for Mo Fan to return before regrouping with the team.
After all, everyone wants to improve their strength and needs all sorts of resources to keep up with the team's progress. Most importantly, they all want to shine in Venice Water City and make themselves and their backers the center of global attention!
When the group left and arrived in Egypt, Tang Miao recalled the time when he returned to China to deal with beads, and how a few Egyptians had been so arrogant and domineering, provoking him at the National Pavilion.
However, they were ultimately just a bunch of clowns; to Tang Miao, they really were nothing.
Upon arriving in Egypt, the National Pavilion challenge was naturally a breeze.
Although they weren't arrogant or domineering, their effortless crushing victory truly made the Egyptians feel ashamed...
Throughout their journey, they progressed very smoothly. Except for the medal they received for their anger in Peru, they successfully obtained medals from all the other National Pavilion they were challenged to, including the highly difficult one for the United States team.
Of course, the United States may be a powerful country to others, but to Huaxia, it is actually nothing special.
Ai Jiangtu looked at the medal in his hand and said with a smile, "We have enough medals. As long as we complete the training here, we can go to Venice."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked excited.
Having traveled such a long road, almost circling the earth, they are finally closer to their final destination, Venice. Past defeats, setbacks, and failures will no longer matter. As long as they can shine in the Venice Water City Festival, all the past will be overshadowed by that dazzling light!
The girls were all incredibly happy.
Even the aloof beauty Mu Ningxue had a smile on her face.
Mu Nujiao then spoke up, "I wonder what this trial will be like?"
Before anyone else could answer, Tang Miao quickly said, "Egypt is most famous for its Egyptian Undead, so I think our training mission must be related to the undead."
To be honest, Mu Nujiao hadn't looked at his face properly for who knows how many days...
Do you really think Tang Miao doesn't care?
That's impossible...
However, he never had a chance to strike up a conversation. Even when he tried to make small talk, he was met with a cold expression, as if they were complete strangers.
"Undead!?"
Mu Nujiao was somewhat surprised upon hearing Tang Miao's words. She had even forgotten that the two of them were still in a cold war. She then asked, "It's not really about dealing with the undead, is it?"
It wasn't that Mu Nujiao afraid of the undead, but to provoke them would be tantamount to suicide.
Tang Miao could understand, after all, the incident in the Ancient Capital had almost shocked the world.
The spirits of the dead in Egypt, like those in Ancient Capitals of China, are endless...
Fortunately, they have a fixed territory to operate in; otherwise, if a massive undead army like that of the Ancient Capital were to launch an attack, the Egyptians might not have been able to withstand it.
Therefore, the National Team are unwilling to provoke the other side.
"It's just my guess, but Jiaojiao, don't worry, I'm here and I will never let you get hurt in the slightest."
Upon hearing Mu Nujiao suddenly let out a cold "snort," then glanced behind him and said indifferently, "You should go protect Jiang Shaoxu."
Tang Miao felt embarrassed, but when she turned around, she saw that Jiang Shaoxu had already come to her side.
"You rascal~ Are you trying to abandon me again?"
Although Jiang Shaoxu was very unhappy, her upbringing taught her that making a scene at a time like this would not only make her a laughingstock, but Tang Miao would probably just ignore her.
Upon seeing Jiang Shaoxu approach, Mu Nujiao immediately turned and walked away.
Tang Miao glanced at Jiang Fox beside him, who was full of complaints, and thought to himself, "What a mess..."
As expected, the mentor did not send them away from Egypt, but instead dispatched them to a city called Puxini, which was about 200 kilometers from Cairo and was a small city-state in Egypt.
Upon arriving in Puxini, the group observed that the entire city retained a touch of ancient Egyptian charm, with stone fences still preserved outside the city walls, and many streets and houses constructed of stone.
To be honest, Tang Miao was really curious. Where did people from this godforsaken place get their confidence, always so cocky and self-important?
In Egypt, perhaps due to the pyramids, most magicians are Undead Element.
However, they did not see any undead roaming the streets. After all, every city here strictly prohibits any Undead Element from summoning undead unless fighting is required. In the end, most people in this world are ordinary people, and not everyone can accept the rotting and decaying bodies and hideous appearance of the undead. If it were not strictly prohibited, there would be a creepy feeling of living in a city with the dead.
The instructors were vague about this training mission, but based on their previous descriptions, Egypt was somewhat similar to East Sea War City in Japan—a large training ground where the trainees would need to stay for some time.
In other words, they might be facing a terrifying army of the undead next... Even if some people don't want to get involved, what's coming is coming...
The instructors claimed that they hoped their students would come into contact with different kinds of Demon Beast, so that they could develop strong adaptability and coping skills!
Upon entering the city, they were surprised to find the streets filled with a peculiar sight: wounded Egyptians...
"Before we came, I heard from some Egyptians that the Puchini City wasn't very peaceful. It seems something has indeed happened," Jiang Yu said, his brow furrowed as he looked at the situation on the street.
A bad feeling crept over everyone... They all sensed that the mentors' vague training missions might be a huge trap...
