Night’s Nomenclature
chapter-162

Li Yinuo glanced at Wang Bingxu, and the four of them returned to the crowd.

In terms of closeness, she must be on Li Shutong and Qing Chen's side.

Even if it wasn't for becoming a Knight, Li Shutong was still her seventh uncle.

Many people didn't know that Li Family's head liked Li Yinuo the most, and part of the reason was that Li Shutong liked Li Yinuo's style since she was a child.

So, she started approaching the rest of the soldiers slowly. As an insider for Qing Chen, she needed to be prepared to eliminate the obstacles herself at any time.

Occupying favorable terrain in advance was a pro move!

However, since the 4 soldiers disappeared, there were no more attacks, as if nothing happened before.

Qing Huai was a little anxious, and he looked at Li Yinuom "The Forbidden Land is still too dangerous, everyone, let's head North. We marked the current location on the map, and we only need to go North for another 5 hours before we can leave the Forbidden Land!"

Hearing his confident tone and that it would only be five hours before they could leave this place, everyone immediately cheered up again, "What are we waiting for? Let's go!!"

However, when Li Yinuo heard this, he objected, "I don't agree with this plan!"

Qing Huai frowned and looked at her, "Why?!"

Li Yinuo looked around at the playboys and said, "Do you really think that you can navigate through this Forbidden Land easily? Have you forgotten that yesterday we thought we were heading East, but after one night, we found that we were going West."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Li Yinuo said was right.

Li Yinuo continued, "This Forbidden Land is weird. It's easy to get lost when walking at night. Now that it is dark, we must not set off rashly."

Qing Huai said coldlym "We are only five hours away from the northern border!"

Li Yinuo argued, "We need to be calm, especially in this situation. The most dangerous part of tightrope walking is the last three steps. With numerous threats around us, we should light a bonfire and gather together to guard against them, instead of rushing it at night."

"Also," Li Yinuo said expressionlessly, "I don't trust you."

"You don't trust me?" Qing Huai was stunned for a moment, "For what?"

"You know the best yourself," said Li Yinuo, sneering, "I'm guessing that you never finished your mission. You probably were forced to stop because of some unexpected situations. I know you came for the Forbidden Item ACE-003 ‘Snake of Deceit'. If you think I'm wrong, just prove to us by taking out the Forbidden Item."

Qing Huai stopped talking.

Because what Li Yinuo said was the truth!

The first task for all candidates is to find the designated Forbidden Item.

The candidates were not allowed to bring Forbidden Items to help, but after the first task, they can keep the items they acquired for themselves.

Qing Huai took a deep breath. If he insisted, there would definitely be some playboys who would follow him, but Wang Bingxu would not!

He needed this B-level master by his side!

Qing Huai still didn't know that Li Yinuo was no longer on his side.

The only reason Li Yinuo objected was because she had to stop Qing Huai's plans.

As a professional insider of course!

The whole group was pondering upon Li Yinuo's words and Qing Huai's reaction.

Soon, everyone realized that Qing Huai didn't have the Forbidden Item, and he was indeed lying!

Qing Huai said to Li Yinuo, "I've heard that the Li Family's eldest daughter of the third generation was bold but careful, and today, I witnessed it myself."

"Needless to say such incompetent and furious words," Li Yinuo said calmly, "I now have all the right to suspect that you have attracted a danger, perhaps one that caused you to give up on your mission. Please leave the autumn hunting team, we must keep our distance."

Moments after she finished speaking, a figure stumbled out of the woods and shouted, "Help! Help me!"

The cry for help broke the stalemate, and everyone turned their gazes away, only to find that it was from a soldier who had just disappeared!

The soldier was covered in blood, his legs and arms were covered with cuts, and his combat uniform became riddled with holes.

The seventh platoon leader rushed up to help, "Wang Qiang, what happened? Where are the others?!"

But before the platoon leader walked over, Qing Huai raised his right hand to stop him.

Qing Huai said, "Stand where you are, look up!"

Wang Qiang stopped in response and begged, "Sir, save me!"

Qing Huai said to another person, "Anything can happen in the Forbidden Land, go check to see if he's really alive."

A soldier who knew Wang Qiang well ran over to check the pulse, pupils, and heartbeat, "Sir, he's still alive. Please treat him quickly."

Qing Huai nodded indifferently, "Treat him first and check his injuries."

Someone walked over with the first aid kit, while the seventh platoon leader asked, "Wang Qiang, what happened? What about the others?"

Wang Qiang said weakly, "We are digging at first, but someone attacked us from behind, and then we were dragged into the forest…"

His voice became weaker and weaker, to the point where one had to be very close to hear him clearly.

Qing Huai subconsciously took two steps forward.

Suddenly, Wang Qiang jumped up and pushed away the soldier beside him while pulling out a dagger from his boots.

The blade went straight for Qing Huai!

Qing Huai sneered. He was prepared for this.

Before Wang Qiang's dagger came to him, his dagger was already stabbing toward Wang Qiang's abdomen.

Qing Huai planned to force Wang Qiang to retreat, and then order the seventh platoon leader to restrain him for interrogation.

But something even more shocking happened. Wang Qiang didn't try to dodge the dagger. Instead, he sped up again, bumping into Qing Huai's dagger as if his life depend on it.

In an instant, even though Qing Huai had restrained his strength in time, the dagger in his hand had already cut into Wang Qiang's chest and abdomen.

Wang Qiang, who was already heavily wounded, couldn't hold on any longer, and slowly fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned by the two surprising turns of events, and couldn't even process what happened.

Before any of them could react, Qing Huai took off running toward the North without another word!

On the path he was going, vines and dead leaves sprang up from underneath, attempting to stop Qing Huai.

But Qing Huai was able to knock away all the vines and leaves with his body.

In just a few seconds, Qing Huai's explosive strength and speed became astonishing.

Wang Bingxu said in a low voice, "Miss Yinuo, Qing Huai is actually a hidden C-level, a peak C-level as well."

Li Yinuo nodded, and she also noticed, "He knew that he has triggered the rules now and wants to use his strength to forcefully escape the Forbidden Land."

"That's impossible," Wang Bingxu shook his head, "Even if we are at the edge of the Forbidden Land right now, no one below B-level would be able to escape the rules."

But Qing Huai had no choice left because every second he hesitates would decrease his chance of survival drastically.
