Mo Fan’s head began to hurt.
These annoying Mountain n never had enough of the sa trick. They had already fallen for it on Mount Kunyu once, yet they had fallen for it again here!
“Let’s head to the plantation. We’ll figure out a way to regroup with the rest,” Mo Fan said.
Sharjah took out a map and said, “There is indeed a plantation that belongs to our school nearby, but there aren’t any guards...”
“Sharjah, are you good at fighting?” Mo Fan asked her.
If Sharjah had been elected the president of the student union, she had to be outstanding in many areas. Zhao Manyan, Mu Bai, and Miyamoto Shin had split up after they were tricked by the Mountain n. Mo Fan was unable to be everywhere at the sa ti. If he knew it would be so troubleso, he should have summoned Apas right at the beginning and used her Aura of a dusa to intimidate those creatures!
He would not be able to explain where Apas co from if he were to Summon her now. He could only rely on the students!
“I have no problem looking after myself, but I don’t think I can save the others,” Sharjah admitted honestly.
“Sharjah, how could you only pick the things you like as a student representative?” Mo Fan sighed.
“Lecturer Mo Yifan, not everyone likes fighting. It’s not my fault!”
Mo Fan smacked his forehead. He thought Sharjah was a hidden boss who had concealed her strength, but it turned out she was just a complete nerd, who was not good at fighting.
“Forget it, I’ll bring you all to the plantation first. Ugh... who knows the way?”
Mo Fan was struggling to tell the directions. He had no clue where the plantation Mu Bai had ntioned was either.
The remaining students shook their heads. It was their first ti coming to the other side of the Earthworm Gully. How could they possibly know the way?
“Sharjah!” Mo Fan could only place his hope on the student union’s president.
Sharjah was speechless. She was only a little tail who joined the group because of her admiration of Mo Fan. Why did she have to do everything?
“I think it’s this way,” Sharjah said, pointing in a direction.
“Mm, co, let’s follow Sharjah... hang on, Sharjah, co closer to . I want to see your lips when you speak,” Mo Fan corrected himself as he realized sothing.
Sharjah was aware of Mo Fan’s intention. She went up to Mo Fan and told him where she was going. Mo Fan nodded with satisfaction when her lips were only inches away from his face.
“Lecturer, we can just write down the important information,” Sharjah reminded. She was a little embarrassed staying so close to Mo Fan.
“It’s fine, I like to watch your lips... ugh, I agree with your suggestion,” Mo Fan corrected himself in English.

The plantation was not too far away. The Mountain n did not dare pick on the group after they sensed Mo Fan’s powerful Aura, and they arrived safely at the plantation. Mo Fan noticed the place was no different from the wild. It only had a simple fence, with branches and leaves in its vicinity.
The enclosed area where the Mountain Woman had lured the two boys was actually at the outer circle of the plantation. The plantation mainly consisted of so kind of fir tree that grew tough leaves, useful for building defensive structures.
“The trunks of these trees are very thick. The trees can also grow very densely, allowing them to be grown around a city on a mountain as natural walls to fend off demon creatures. The leaves of these trees have sharp edges, which will cut demon creatures that are good at climbing. We should be safe for the ti being,” Sharjah pronounced.
Mo Fan carefully checked their surroundings and noticed how unique the trees were. It was like a barrier enclosing the area. Mo Fan did not have to worry about the students being ambushed by the Mountain n.
“Don’t leave this place no matter what you hear or see. I’ll go find the others,” Mo Fan reminded the students.
“Got it!” Boleyn nodded.
“Rember, even if you hear my voice, don’t believe it unless you see talking in front of you. Sharjah, did you hear ? As the student union’s president, it’s your job to lead them!” Mo Fan repeated.
“Sir, have you read Journey to the West?” Sharjah asked.
“Sharjah, I know you are knowledgeable, but now is not the ti for it... You aren’t wrong, either. It’s true that I have two unreliable teammates! I have to clean up their sses every ti.”
“What I ant was, you are as long-winded as the Sage.”
Mo Fan had just turned into a shadow sparrow, and almost lost his balance and crashed into the sharp leaves when he heard her comnt!
This Sharjah was seriously unattractive at tis. As her teacher, he had to teach her to behave herself!
—
Five minutes after Mo Fan left, Sunny, who was keeping an eye on any potential danger with his Sound Elent, broke out in a cold sweat.
“President, I hear a lot of footsteps,” Sunny told her quietly.
“Just pretend you didn’t hear them,” Sharjah replied calmly.
“That’s impossible, they are only five hundred ters away at most! They are extrely quick and great in numbers. It’s like we have entered the Mountain n’s den. These trees aren’t going to hold them back. They have imnse strength! They can just smash their way in. We will be surrounded in five minutes!” Sunny blurted out in a panic.
“You heard what the lecturer said. We are staying here,” Sharjah answered calmly.
“But there are too many of them. I don’t even dare to tell the others, as it might scare them. President, please co up with a plan. It’s not too late to run now. There will be no escape once we are surrounded!” Sunny’s face was twitching in fear.
“How do you know what you heard is real?” Sharjah asked.
“But what if it’s real? Those are footsteps, not voices I heard!” Sunny said.
“If they can mimic humans’ voices, isn’t it even easier to mimic footsteps?”
“President...”
“Stop using your magic and stay here, and don’t tell anyone what you heard!” Sharjah glared at Sunny.
Sharjah suddenly realized sothing after she finished the sentence. She looked at the others and noticed they were all looking at her and Sunny.
“Damn it, I should have written it down!” Sharjah cursed.
It was obvious that the Mountain n had passed on their conversation to the students. They all knew Sunny had heard a lot of footsteps approaching.
One of the young n, his eyes now brimming with fear, blurted out, “Are we really surrounded by the Mountain n?”
