The sappy way they interacted while holding hands made Wei Xu’s eye jerk.

He ushered the aerial centipede with a pat on the head, and the latter abruptly accelerated its flight with a hiss.

The abrupt increase in speed made everybody lurch forward due to inertia. Dao Wuji, who had been looking down to admire the view, nearly fell off from the aerial centipede, and he yelled in protest, “Hey hey, do better at flying, alright!”

The aerial centipede writhed its body as it flew over a stretch of villages.

When everyone looked back, they saw that Wanlu Town had already become a black dot in the distance.

Later on, when evening was about to fall…

Qiao Mu and company finally caught a glimpse of the lofty Mount Tai.

The high mountain range stretched on continuously with rising and falling peaks.

Godsend Academy bordered Mount Tai. When observing from up above, the buildings inside the academy seemed to be shrouded by an obscure night fog.

It was not an overstatement that Godsend Academy was Polan Prefecture’s number one educational establishment.

The academy accommodated at least thirty to fifty thousand people, which was basically the population of a mid-sized town.

Everybody naturally descended from the aerial centipede and hopped to the ground some distance away from Mount Tai.

“So this is Mount Tai!”

“It does look rather majestic.” The little fatty looked up at the Mount Tai that seemed to stretch on without boundaries, and he commented while shrinking his neck, “This big mountain range is indeed an excellent place for breeding zombies.”

Qiao Mu’s eyes flashed, and she said with a nod, “Let’s go.”

The group made their way toward Mount Tai with quick strides.

“The assembly place should be near the entrance. We should be able to see Godsend Academy’s mentors when we get there.”

Zhou Danjin quickened his pace, urging the others to do the same. Sure enough, they saw a table set up at a path leading into the mountain in less than 15 minutes. There were two middle-aged mentors dressed in black sitting in front of the table.

Zhou Danjin quickly walked up and exchanged pleasantries with the two mentors.

“Shuntian Prefecture’s Apex Academy?” One of the middle-aged mentors creased his brow and handed a crystal that was sparkling green to Zhou Danjin. “How come you came so late. Practically all the teams have entered the mountain already.”

“We were held up by something during our journey, “Zhou Danjin explained with a smile.

The middle-aged mentor did not comment further and gave a nod. “You must not lose this green crystal. This will document the area you are in.”

“The top academy from each of the Six Prefectures have formed a supervisory committee. After you enter the mountain, one supervisory mentor will be trailing you to record the numbers of zombies you eradicate.”

After saying this, the mentor looked at the twenty plus people in their group. “How many students do you have? The number of students representing an academy cannot exceed 12.”

“Oh, oh, we haven’t exceeded the limit.” Mentor Zhou proudly patted his chest in assurance. “We only have these eight students.”

The middle-aged mentor from Polan Prefecture’s Godsend Academy looked toward Qiao Mu and the other students.

He remarked inwardly: They were just a bunch of children!

Afterwards, he scrutinized Mo Lian’s group suspiciously. “They are all mentors?”

How come there was even a pale-faced child?

He was also a mentor?

“Yes, that’s right!”

Godsend Academy’s middle-aged mentor twitched his mouth silently, and he scanned their faces doubtfully.

Why was this Apex Academy that he had never heard of before such a riot?

More than a dozen mentors had come to accompany a group of eight students… 

Such weirdos!
