Chapter 23 Fighting Together
As dusk fell, just as the group was preparing to find a suitable place to set up camp, a beast's roar echoed from afar.
Mo Chen and the others immediately became alert, adopting defensive stances and listening carefully. They discovered that in addition to the roars of beasts, there were also intermittent cries for help from humans in a state of panic.
"Should we go take a look?" Mo Chen asked Mo Ze.
"No need."
As soon as Mo Ze finished speaking, several panicked men and women rushed over.
Wow, it's someone I know.
The visitors were Xiao Qin and Ning Shiyu.
They spotted the group of people and were overjoyed, speeding up their pace as they rushed towards them.
Seeing that the person was only ten meters away from them, it would be somewhat inappropriate to leave at this moment, so none of them moved.
When Gu Heng and the others escorted Xiao Qin and Ning Shiyu to their destination, they finally recognized Mo Chen and the others.
The first people they saw were Mo Ze and Lin Shushu, as they were the most eye-catching in the crowd and had the most unique demeanor. However, they didn't recognize either of them, so they all looked at Mo Chen.
"Mo Chen, there are level five alien beasts behind us. We hope you can lend us a hand."
Seeing Mo Chen and the others, Gu Heng immediately felt confident. If it were just them alone, they would naturally be no match for the strange beast, which was why they had fled in such a panic.
But the situation is different now. With the addition of Mo Chen and the others, they are not without the ability to fight against level-five alien beasts.
Although the two sides had a disagreement a few days ago, they are both from prominent families and have some mutual respect. In this life-or-death situation, the other party would probably not refuse.
Mo Chen didn't waste any words and nodded.
After quickly arranging for Xiao Qin and Ning Shiyu to move to the rear, Gu Heng, Xiao Yi, and Li Yong immediately entered their mechs, assumed their stances, and prepared to confront the level-five alien beast.
Meanwhile, Mo Chen, Ji Feng, Tang Yucheng, and He Fan didn't hesitate either. They took up advantageous terrain, activated their mechs, and joined forces with Gu Heng and the other two to prepare for a joint attack on the level-five alien beast.
Soon, the roar of the beast grew louder as it approached, and the ground began to tremble. No one dared to let their guard down, and they focused their attention on the source of the sound.
A figure the size of a small mountain burst into view. It was the Earth Bear; no wonder it caused the ground to tremble. This was a ferocious beast known for its strength.
Although Mo Chen and his group were somewhat nervous, the battles of the past few days had given them great confidence.
Gu Heng and the others looked more serious as they gazed at Mo Chen and the others, noticing that although they were somewhat nervous, there was no fear on their faces.
Gu Heng felt a little relieved, then focused his mind and launched the first attack on the Earth Bear.
The others were not to be outdone, and in an instant, energy cannons were fired continuously at the Earth Bear.
The Earth Bear was thoroughly enraged. It roared a few times and charged towards them. Its mountain-like body stomped on the ground, causing the earth to shake violently.
The attacks became more frequent, yet they only left shallow wounds on the Earth Bear. The Earth Bear was also unable to break through their defensive line of fire.
Looking at the fierce battle ahead, Lin Shushu asked Mo Ze, "Aren't you going to help?"
"No need, they can handle it."
After a few days, although Mo Ze still looked down on Mo Chen and the others' strength, he couldn't deny that they had made great progress.
Compared to when I first entered the forest, he was like a completely different person.
After many days of training, and with the nourishment from the spiritual fruits and rice in their space, their strength has rapidly increased, showing signs of a breakthrough. This battle is a perfect opportunity for them.
Lin Shushu understood this, of course, but she was just worried that Mo Ze would be concerned about his cousin.
The two fell silent and looked back at the arena.
Sure enough, the stalemate in the battle found a breakthrough.
Mo Chen made a gesture, and Ji Feng, Tang Yucheng, and He Fan understood and started moving at the same time.
While Gu Heng and the others were drawing the Earth Bear's attention from the front, the group circled around to the Earth Bear's blind spot, quickly dispersed, and attacked its several weak points at the same time.
As their strength increased, their energy cannons became more powerful, causing greater damage to the Earth Bear.
Finally, with the cooperation of the two teams, the Earth Bear, with its mountain-like body, slowly collapsed, creating a huge crater in the ground.
They finally won, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, Gu Heng and the others were too weak to stand up and lay down on the spot.
Looking at the four people, including Mo Chen, who were still standing, Gu Heng was a little puzzled. His strength level was about the same as Mo Chen's, and he was so tired, yet Mo Chen still had energy left.
He didn't doubt that Mo Chen and his team hadn't given their all in the battle just now; everyone's actions were evident to all. In fact, Mo Chen and his group had contributed even more than their team, which was the ultimate reason for their victory.
What puzzled him was that Mo Chen was one thing, since his strength was comparable to his own, or even slightly superior. But why were Ji Feng, Tang Yucheng, He Fan, and others, whose strength was somewhat lower than his, also able to maintain such a good condition?
Gu Heng didn't know, and no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out the reason. After all, who would have thought that the most coveted pills and spiritual fruits could be eaten by Mo Chen and the others whenever they wanted?
The battle ended, and the spectators breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Shiyu took Xiao Qin's hand, intending to help her check on her teammates, but she couldn't pull her hand away.
At this moment, Xiao Qin's legs seemed to be rooted to the ground. She stood motionless, her eyes fixed on one direction.
Ning Shiyu followed her gaze and looked in that direction as well. Upon seeing it, she seemed to freeze in place as well.
When Xiao Qin was first sent to the back, she saw Mo Ze and Lin Shushu. At first, she didn't think much of it, but she felt that Mo Chen looked somewhat familiar.
But that stunning glance kept replaying in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more familiar it seemed, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
She tried desperately to recall what had happened, even ignoring the intense battle on the field. Even after the battle ended and Ning Shiyu pulled her away, she was still in a daze.
Although she couldn't remember it for the time being, a faint expectation in her heart kept her looking in that direction.
It's not surprising that Xiao Qin couldn't remember, since she had never actually met Mo Ze. She had only seen his profile in the palace, but that fleeting glimpse had made her think of him ever since.
Ning Shiyu had forgotten her original intention of playing the xiao. She was captivated by Mo Ze's handsome appearance and otherworldly temperament, and was now staring at him in that direction.
Xiao Qin and Ning Shiyu only came to their senses after Mo Ze and Lin Shushu walked away and disappeared from sight.
Mo Ze and Lin Shushu did not ignore the two women's fixed gazes on him, but neither of them thought of doing anything.
Although Mo Ze rarely appears in public, and even when he does, he does so in disguise, he still attracts a lot of attention, so he has become accustomed to such gazes.
Lin Shushu, however, sensed something through her woman's intuition. But given Mo Ze's looks and demeanor, it was inevitable that he would attract women's attention, so she wouldn't interfere.
