As he returned to the cave, Cao Xu acted as if everything was normal.

However, he did not immediately go back to his original spot. Instead, he carefully approached Li Xiang, who slept at the edge of the save. He stealthily lowered himself and then reached his hand toward the badge on Li Xiang’s chest.

Shen Yanxiao, who stood at a hidden dark corner, felt an urge to cover her face the moment she saw Cao Xu’s actions.

It was a spectacle too horrible to endure!!

As a thief G.o.ddess with skillful techniques, she thought that Cao Xu’s movements were so clumsy that it was unbearable to watch. Without a second thought, she knew that his inept thieving skills would awaken Li Xiang in mere minutes.

There was no doubt that his teammates would discover Cao Xu’s actions!

d.a.m.n it! How could she have forgotten? Even though the Illusion Construct could control thoughts, it could not replicate the caster’s skills! Cao Xu was a swordsman who was an expert in bold and decisive attacks. To ask him to do something that required high-level stealth skills was like to ask a butcher to do embroidery!

Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath.

Even if Cao Xu’s techniques were clumsy and she could no longer use him to get those five badges, at least she verified that the Illusion Construct she had learned could be put to use. At most, she could steal from them again after they had fallen asleep. After all, it was an easy thing for her to do.

A sleepy Li Xiang suddenly felt a force that pulled on his chest, and he immediately woke up.

The very next instant, Cao Xu’s huge face had occupied his entire view.

“Cao Xu, what are you doing!?” Li Xiang immediately cried out in shock and smacked at the hand that Cao Xu had on his badge.

Li Xiang’s shout immediately woke the rest of the team. Meng Yiheng and Shangguan Xiao quickly turned over and sat up while Qian Shanni rubbed her misty eyes and looked at the two of them.

“What’s going on?” Meng Yiheng could feel the onset of a headache as he looked at the two people in front of him. He had only managed to fall asleep with great difficulty, and then they were fighting again!?

Li Xiang immediately covered the badge on his chest and pointed at Cao Xu as he yelled, “Cao Xu wanted to take my badge!”

“What?” Li Xiang’s words shocked Meng Yiheng and Shangguan Xiao, and they immediately turned toward a sulky Cao Xu.

What was going on? They could still understand the situation if someone from other team had come to s.n.a.t.c.h Li Xiang’s badge. However, Cao Xu was part of their team, and the rules in the test had mentioned that teammates would not get any points if they took each other’s badges. Thus, Cao Xu had no reason to take Li Xiang’s badge.

Did their previous fight have something to do with it? Did Cao Xu plan an act of revenge against Li Xiang and so he tried to take Li Xiang’s badge?

The group of them were still puzzled even after much thoughts.

Shen Yanxiao sighed. She had expected that scene to happen.

However, she would never have foreseen the unexpected turn of events that happened the very next second!

Cao Xu furrowed his eyebrows and looked back at his teammates. He then snorted and said with disdain in his voice, “Why are you shouting? To think that you’re a man, but your guts are similar to a woman’s. Who would care for your badge? I’m only worried about those traps and wanted to keep the badges with me while I keep watch for the night.”

“What?” You want to keep watch for the night?” Li Xiang could not believe his ears. The arrogant and proud Cao Xu wanted to keep watch?
