That person shook so much that he was practically lying limp against the tree. “I-I’ll say it.”

“It-It’s Yao, Yao… ugh!” An arrow mercilessly lodged into that person’s chest, killing him on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, those men in black that were tied to the tree also got riddled with arrows.

Qiao Mu and company retreated backwards as they gravely took out their blades to parry the raining arrows.

After a round of arrows, they sensed an approaching presence oppressing them from up above.

Qi Xuanxuan, Duanmu Qing, the little fatty, Ma Ta, and the other three senior students had grim expressions as they subconsciously drew close to Qiao Mu. They looked at the sky in the distance.

The newcomer was swift and soon flew to the area above their heads. An intense pressure weighed down on their hearts.

Two hundred plus archers, split between five large-scale flying beasts, were solemnly aiming their arrows at Qiao Mu’s group of eight below.

The two hundred people had also summoned their mystic beasts at the same time, The magnitude was so colossal that the land beasts were stampeding, shaking the entire forest to its roots.

Not far away, the mentors who had been waiting for the students to collect firewood for making mushroom soup quickly bolted toward the source of the commotion.

Meanwhile, Qiao Mu’s group of eight had also each summoned their beasts. In an instant, several hundred mystic beasts were fighting together while roaring and howling.

As the enemy was numerous, a clear victor could not be determined for the time being.

A new round of arrows were falling when the five mentors rushed over. Their expressions turned grave as they quickly parried the dozen arrows before them.

“Where’s Qiaoqiao?” Zhou Danjin agitatedly asked Qi Xuanxuan.

“Qiaoqiao went to deal with an old geezer! Duanmu went with her.”

Zhou Danjin creased his brows as he struck a lunging wolf flying. He quickly turned to them and said, “I’ll go over to take a look.”

Near the periphery of the forest, Duanmu Qing got knocked back a dozen steps by an elder. Yet just as he got a stable footing, that white-haired elder had already closed in, striking at his chest with a palm of flames.

Qiao Mu’s heart skipped, and her hands moved faster than her brain. She pushed Duanmu Qing aside and hid behind the gold giant.

The elder’s fire spirit landed on the gold giant, and the flames rocketed into the sky.

The elder squinted his eyes and sprung at Qiao Mu again in frustration.

It was so infuriating!

That d*mn lass had been hiding behind this gold giant the entire time.

He had no idea what this gold giant was either. It did not react to pain nor did it burn. If this continued, it was him who was going to get besieged when the d*mn lass and her companions’ summoned divine beasts finished off those two hundred archers and beasts.

He could not let things continue on like this!

The elder creased his brows and abruptly raised his hand. Flames shot up from the ground in a circle around Qiao Mu, confining her within.

Duanmu Qing was enraged, and vines grew in a frenzy toward the elder’s feet.

The elder scoffed and flew into the air with a swish. He produced a blaze within his hands and roared, “Take this!”

Fire descended from the sky. The entire forest seemed to have been set ablaze as clusters of flames rained down in a downpour.

Qiao Mu’s gaze turned cold, and she protected Duanmu Qing and herself with circles of defensive talismans.
