Volume 2 Chapter 17 Fleeing for your life

Qiao Mo felt that Yan Qiyue seemed particularly odd today. During the day he would usually be stick onto Shao Qing. Yet, today he wasn’t. It doesn’t seem like he doesn’t like Shao Qing anymore. In fact he seemed more like a young woman taking sneaky bashful looks at Shao Qing.

As soon as anyone approached Shao Qing, he would throw death glares at them until they had their hair stand on end and depart on their own.

More terrifying is, he wore a white shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned. This caused the teeth marks on his neck and hickeys on his collar bone to be all revealed.

Qiao Mo was horrified by the thought. Could it be that last night the two were bang bang bang? In fact, could this be Yan Qiyue’s first time? Otherwise why else would he act like a newly married woman.

Qiao Mo couldn’t ponder more on this because they had already arrived. This area was filled with the vegetation Qiao Mo had described, a reduced version of a tangerine tree. With round leaves, the aroma it emitted would cause the surrounding people who smelt it to become powerless. On the leaves hung a bright red fruit that resembled an apple and hawthorn. With it’s glossy skin, it looked very delicious.

At the very middle, there was one tree that was taller and more robust than the rest. Even the fruit was bigger.

Underneath that tree was a lantern and if one were to look at it carefully they would realize that it wasn’t a lantern. It was actually another vegetation that could emit glimmer.

That small lantern was very adorable. Flashing, it appeared to be floating in midair, but it actually had a very slender stem propping it up. In brief, this vegetation had a super cute aura to it.

“Our target is that.” Qiao Mo pointed at the small lantern. “Once we collect it, then we can help our brother’s wife to subdue the Qiu Tang*.”

* what they are calling those trees

Shao Qing nodded her head. She vaguely sensed a thread of danger and spoke up: “Be careful everyone, something seems off.”

“I’ll try first.” One earth elemental held up an earth shield and slowly approached the cluster of Qiu Tang. Completely quiet, the Qiu Tang did not show any signs of activity. It was only until he was very close when there was a faint rustle like wind blowing on leaves.

Among the quiet harmony, Shao Qing seemed to pick up a weak sound of insect wings. Lifting her head up, she saw a black hornet that was slightly bigger than the ordinary bee spiraling around the Qiu Tang.

If they saw this hornet anywhere else, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. Yet this jungle is filled with variation animals running amuck. Not mentioning the hornet, even a mosquito could be very damaging.

“Watch out for the top of your head.” Shao Qing warned. As that person lifted his head to look, he discovered the hornet and let out a breath. Immediately following, an innumerable amount of hornets came flying from the surrounding tree.

The densely packed hornets looked terrifying, causing the earth elemental user to be frightened and rolling backwards. Using his earth shield, he covered his whole body.

A fire elemental user immediately hurried to throw a fireball. A bee would be scared of fire, but who knows if these hornets are afraid or not.

Afterwards it will be shown that they are scared of fire. It’s probably the innate characteristic of a bee, only fire would scare them. But unlike an ordinary bee, it wouldn’t be life threatening.

Those hornets quickly dodged the fireball. But even though they were skimmed by the fireball, they weren’t harmed at all.

Seeing this, the fire elemental user rushed to cover the earth elemental user with a fire shield. Afterwards, he also gave Qiao Mo and the rest including Shao Qing a fire shield.

With the fire shield, those hornets wouldn’t rashly approach them. Qiao Mo scrunched up his eyebrows: “Get rid of those hornets.” If they don’t get rid of them, they wouldn’t be able to approach the Enkianthus*.

* the lantern flower

The remaining superhumans stepped forward. Taking out their abilities, they used it against the hornets. For a moment the sky was filled with superpowers, but they still weren’t able to exterminate the hornets.

This was because the hornets were too small of a target. To target one they would just have to rely on blindly hitting
