The facts proved that even the most undiscriminating person wouldn't accept skunk meat.
Feng Xi's pretty little face was full of disgust and rejection when he saw Chloe trying to hold up the skunk carcass in front of him, and he took several horrified steps backwards.
"I don't want it!" he shouted in terror.
Seeing this, Chloe sighed with some regret.
"Alright, if you don't want it, you don't want it."
With a wave of her fingers, Chloe threw the foul-smelling, eye-stinging skunk carcass away.
Under the layers of volcanic ash, the lingering stench seemed to have dissipated somewhat.
The group continued on their way.
Daniel was a little distracted.
As he ran, he murmured, "Actually, I'm quite curious about lizard meat. How is it different from the rabbit meat we eat?"
Chloe: "..."
She gave him an exasperated glance. "I can't imagine how you developed such an appetite."
"I'm really quite curious," Daniel said. "I've never had skunk meat before either. Back in our territory, we never hunted animals like that. It's so strange."
Daniel's golden eyes shone with excitement.
Chloe warned bluntly, "If you eat it, we're through."
Hearing this, Daniel immediately dropped the idea, mumbling, "Geez, you're so bossy."
Chloe did not comment on this.
Perhaps this was just how the Werewolf Race was - hyperactive and overly competitive.
Well, Daniel had even jumped into a cesspit, so what couldn't he do?
As she pondered this, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.
Sensing it, Chloe grabbed the person's wrist and forcefully wrenched it to the right.
A loud "crack" of a dislocated bone rang out, drawing everyone's attention.
Upon seeing the person's face, Chloe frowned slightly and said coldly, "Keep your distance."
Anderson lowered his gaze, clutching his injured wrist. "Miss, you had some ash on your shoulder."
"I have hands. I don't need your help."
With that, Chloe moved forward a little to put some distance between herself and Anderson.
Seeing this, a hint of malice flashed across Anderson's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
Qin Huaibei and Katherine exchanged a glance and sighed lightly.
"Do you need me to heal you?" Katherine asked kindly.
Anderson was about to speak when Chloe's voice came from ahead, "He can heal himself, no need to bother."
Katherine instinctively withdrew the hand she had extended to use her healing ability.
Anderson didn't seem angry; he just shook his head slightly at Katherine.
Then he took some ointment from his mustard ring and applied it to himself. With his other hand, he forcefully relocated the dislocated bone.
Throughout the entire process, Anderson didn't even frown.
The No.1 Military Academy made no effort to conceal their actions, which didn't escape the notice of the Lanxicha Military Academy students.
They became excited and began whispering to each other.
One of them approached Feng Xi, "Chief Feng, it seems the No.1 Military Academy is having internal conflicts."
Feng Xi smiled enigmatically, "Mmm, I know."
The squad member grew more excited, "Then our chance has come! Since Chloe doesn't value loyalty, we can try to turn Anderson!"
As the words left his mouth, all the other students except Feng Xi looked approving.
Each member of the No.1 Military Academy team was formidable, and Anderson and Chloe, both vampires, were likely evenly matched in strength.
With Anderson's help, Lanxicha's chances of winning would increase.
The more the squad member thought about it, the more excited he became. But when he looked up, he saw Feng Xi regarding him with a "you must be an idiot" expression.
The squad member froze, and after a moment, cautiously asked, "Is... is something wrong?"
Feng Xi sneered, "What gives you the confidence to think you can turn a member of the No.1 Military Academy?"
The squad member opened and closed his mouth, speechless.
[Hahaha, trying to turn Anderson? He's got Chloe's name engraved all over him!]
[Maybe he could turn other members, but turning Anderson? Only if the continent sank into the sea.]
[To be honest, with the atmosphere in the No.1 Military Academy's main team, it's unlikely anyone would be turned.]
[That's true, they all listen to Chloe.]
[Well, Chloe is the bandit chief. Of course these mischievous bandits would obey her. If there was someone thin-skinned among them, they wouldn't be able to pull off so many outrageous stunts.]
The atmosphere among the No.1 Military Academy's thick-skinned main team was extremely quiet.
Everyone sensed that Chloe was in a bad mood, so no one dared crack jokes.
Anderson was the most miserable, practically bullied by Chloe.
Whenever a ferocious beast charged at them, Chloe would make Anderson face it alone.
While the Lanxicha Military Academy advanced with four people, Anderson singlehandedly faced off against four, yet was not outmatched at all.
It was just that he accumulated many minor and major injuries.
Most of the spectators found it amusing, but a small portion became displeased:
[Is the No.1 Military Academy bullying Anderson? Anderson is still a child, how can Chloe go so far?]
[Exactly, Anderson is already so injured, is this the famous unity of the No.1 Military Academy's main team?]
[? New here? I suggest you go watch the replay from last night.]
[If Anderson hadn't provoked her, would Chloe treat him like this?]
[It's normal for children to have conflicts, isn't it? Besides, Chloe has been good to Anderson. It's Anderson who doesn't know what's good for him and keeps pushing her buttons.]
[And Chloe is confident, or she wouldn't take such a risk by letting Anderson handle things alone. She has faith in Anderson's strength.]
Indeed, after so long, Anderson alone had not allowed the Lanxicha students to gain any advantage, and the number of ferocious beasts slain kept increasing.
This unintentionally fueled Lanxicha Military Academy's desire to win the championship even more.
If they couldn't get the beasts, they would go for the flag.
After several days and nights of traveling, the two military academies finally reached the flag platform at dusk.
At the same time, coming from the opposite direction, another military academy arrived.
It was the Tagar Military Academy, the first time they had encountered each other in so long.
Qu Yan, who was at the front of the Tagar Military Academy, seemed a little dazed when she saw them.
After so many days of travel, everyone was exhausted from the heat. Chloe had already torn off the sleeves of her combat uniform and was waving her arms, greeting Qu Yan, "Sister Qu, long time no see!"
