In the end, Fuen still couldn't get the words out.
Chloe's meaning was already very clear, she didn't want anyone to come over and wake up Qu Yan.
Fuen had to give up.
He stood ten steps outside the cave, looking at Chloe complexly as she settled Qu Yan down before coming out.
Chloe looked Fuen up and down for a moment and asked:
"How did you guys end up here?"
After losing a team member, the Sasley Military Academy would definitely not take the initiative to attack out of caution.
They already couldn't beat the No.1 Military Academy, let alone now there were people from the Tagar Military Academy as well.
Fuen's gaze fell on Chloe's dark red eyes. He curled his fingers and then said:
"Did you form an alliance with the Tagar Military Academy?"
Chloe nodded. "Yes, is there a problem?"
Hearing this, Fuen's lips moved:
"If possible, our Sasley would also like to form an alliance."
After he finished speaking, silence fell around them.
Chloe looked at them leisurely:
"I remember we didn't have a good relationship."
What was this guy thinking? He had dumped such a big hat on her head before, and now he was actually begging to form an alliance?
Did he really think she, Chloe, had no temper?
Seemingly sensing Chloe's mood, Fuen took a step back.
He rubbed his brow. "Sorry, if it doesn't work out, I won't force it."
It was just that Sasley didn't have good luck on the field this time. Not long after the start, they had lost a team member.
If it had happened on another field, they could still hunt beasts to earn points and at least get a ranking, but in the ocean field, even five people might not be enough to fight, let alone four.
So Sasley's opponents had gone from beasts to the other three military academies.
If they still had some strength to put up a fight before, then the Sasley who had lost a member was now completely finished.
Chloe understood their situation, but whether from personal feelings or the big picture, accepting an alliance with the Sasley Military Academy would be as stupid as it could get.
Firstly, she didn't have a good relationship with Sasley. Secondly, Sasley had no value to make use of.
Not to mention they had lost a member at the start, and now their morale was low. When it came to fighting, they might even drag them down.
All harm and no benefit.
Chloe kindly made a suggestion: "You can go to Brut to form an alliance."
Upon hearing this, Fuen's eyelashes fluttered. "The people from the Brut Military Academy are not nice."
"Oh, so you think I'm nice?" Chloe said expressionlessly, the crimson in her eyes swirling, "Don't you know that in the last match, I almost killed Kamen?"
Hearing this, Fuen was stunned.
For the first time, he looked straight at the beautiful girl in front of him and realized she was serious instead of pretending.
The people from the Sasley Military Academy looked at each other, all somewhat afraid as they grabbed Fuen's arm.
Fuen looked at them and finally nodded to Chloe with difficulty: "...Sorry for disturbing you."
After saying that, he led the Sasley people away from here.
Finally some peace and quiet.
Chloe returned to the cave, just about to go see how Qu Yan was doing, only to find that she had already woken up.
Chloe stopped in her tracks, somehow feeling a little guilty.
"Sister, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Qu Yan was using her sword tip to scrape the mud in the cave. Hearing this, she raised her head and smiled.
"I'm not tired. I slept for a while just now and feel much better now."
"...Oh, I see." Chloe said drily.
She wanted to ask Qu Yan if she had heard what she said just now, but for some reason, she just couldn't get it out.
Luckily Qu Yan didn't mean to question her further.
She pulled Chloe to sit next to her and gently asked:
"What about you, how did you wake up so fast?"
Chloe imitated her actions to dig out the mud, saying, "I just woke up. That damned Daniel, he made my shoulder go numb. I even dreamed a shark was biting my shoulder and wouldn't let go no matter how I shook it."
Hearing this, Qu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She had a temperament that Chloe really liked - gentle and generous, while also not lacking bloodiness.
If she had to put it in words, Chloe felt Qu Yan had a kind of gentle aura similar to a mother's.
Chloe had never experienced this feeling in either of her two lifetimes.
So instinctively, Chloe wanted to call her sister.
She couldn't very well call her mother right off the bat, that would be too creepy.
Although Xavier had doted on her, he was truly a scumbag dad at first. And he showed no mercy against the young ones. Chloe's childhood in this life was basically spent coming up in a hail of bullets and gunfire, living more tiring than a dog's life.
Thinking of this, Chloe's teeth itched.
She looked up at Qu Yan and saw the other smiling at her.
Chloe's speed of digging mud quickened a lot, bubbling with happiness inside.
After everyone in the cave had woken up, Chloe had already chatted with Qu Yan for a long time.
Qin Huaibei came over stretching as he yawned and saw Chloe nestled very dependently in Qu Yan's arms, talking and laughing.
Qin Huaibei: ?
Too shocked, he couldn't control the long spear in his hand and it dropped to the ground, just happening to stab Daniel who was passing by.
Daniel bared his teeth ferociously and pounced over to fight with him.
Qin Huaibei didn't have the heart to play house with him now. He pushed Daniel away and strode right over.
Seeing him come, Qu Yan's smile faded somewhat. "You're awake? Where are the others?"
Chloe also sat up from her arms, saying, "Since you're awake, let's get going. Don't let the Brut people get ahead of us."
Qin Huaibei reflexively answered: "They woke up, but...when did you two get so close?"
"That doesn't seem to be any of your business." Qu Yan pulled Chloe up, then flicked the dust on her clothes. "Let's go, we need to get moving."
Chloe stared at Qin Huaibei for a while, frowning slightly. "What's with your expression?"
Qin Huaibei looked at her complicatedly. "...Nothing."
"It looks like you're quite popular with girls."
Whether it was Katherine or Qu Yan, they seemed to really like being with Chloe.
Hearing this, Chloe was very smug. "Naturally."
After saying that, she hummed a song and went to urge the others to hurry up and move out.
This time, they didn't walk far before they saw a huge coral forest up ahead.
Qu Yan's brows furrowed slightly. "Do we have to go through it?"
Chloe spread her perception to look it over and said, "Yes, there's no other road here."
She compared with the map and continued. "It's a maze inside, looks man-made."
Hearing this, everyone basically understood which checkpoint this was made by.
Daniel swore. "Ugh, why are the organizers so good at this."
Chloe glanced at him. "Watch your mouth."
Now it seemed they could only get to the finish line by passing through this coral maze.
Katherine fell behind everyone else and suddenly got an idea. She asked:
"Can this coral... be pulled out?"
