“Watch and wait?” Liu Kai did not understand.

Ji Fengyan glanced at him and tilted her chin towards another patch of forest by the lake. “Look who’s there.”

Liu Kai looked in the direction that Ji Fengyan had shown. What he saw nearly made his eyes drop out of his head.

“Zhou Bugui??”

A few heads faintly emerged from that patch of forest. Ji Fengyan and the others could only see them because they were on higher ground.

“Why are they still here?” Liu Kai’s face was perplexed.

The tutor said that they would eliminate the teams that lost. Zhou Bugui and his companions should have left the forest several days ago. So why were they here now?

Ji Fengyan unconcernedly said, “The battle simulation rules are that the ones who have lost their armbands will be considered losers. But… the tutor did not say that they could not recapture their armbands. Hence, as long as the seven days are not up, any team may continue the fight.”

The reappearance of the blue team did not seem to surprise Ji Fengyan at all.

“Then what are they doing here?” Liu Kai asked again.

Ji Fengyan said, “Do you need to ask? They’re exploiting a weakness.”

“Weak… weakness?” Liu Kai widened his eyes in disbelieve. He looked in Zhou Bugui’s direction and then at the two teams fighting by the lake. “Are you saying Zhou Bugui is planning to seize the armbands after either the black or the white team has won?”

“What else?” Ji Fengyan raised her brows slightly. “However, I reckon that these two teams are more or less equivalent in strength and it will take some time before one of them wins. Instead of saying that Zhou Bugui is waiting for the victor to emerge, it would be better to say that he is waiting for both of teams to be weakened.”

“Once they have lost their fighting strength and are exhausted, the blue team will seize the opportunity to attack. This naturally increases their chances of winning.”

“Darn it! That’s despicable!” When Liu Kai heard this, he halted and recalled how he himself had almost fallen for a trap initially.

“Is that despicable?” Ji Fengyan asked suddenly.

“Of course. Isn’t it despicable to take advantage of others’ difficulties?” Liu Kai said self-righteously.

Ji Fengyan’s lips curled. “I was originally intending to do the same.”

Ji Fengyan’s words stunned Liu Kai and the others.

“You… you… also intended??” Liu Kai stared at Ji Fengyan, unable to believe his ears.

Ji Fengyan nodded with great sincerity. “It would be convenient to get rid of two teams at once.”

“…” Ji Fengyan’s natural tone almost choked Liu Kai and the others until they thought they might suffer an internal injury.

Ji Fengyan rubbed her chin, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Zhou Bugui and his companions on the other side. “But now I have changed my mind.”

The eyes of Liu Kai and the others immediately brightened.

“The blue team has already lost their armbands, so they will be more anxious than us. Hence… I intend to act after the blue team has attacked.” Ji Fengyan said smilingly.

Defeat three teams in one swoop. Not bad.

“…” The spark of hope in the eyes of Liu Kai and the others was immediately extinguished.

Nevertheless…

As they thought about it, they felt that Ji Fengyan had a good plan. The three fools thought about it for a long time before they finally discarded their principles and silently followed Ji Fengyan to exploit this weakness!

Just as Liu Kai and the others were undergoing their mental struggle, the battle by the lake reached its climax. The struggle between the black and white teams grew fiercer and fiercer. They only stopped short of activating their World-Termination-Armour!
