He then looked at the mushroom platter on the table, a delectable dish that glowed.

Various fluorescent colors flickered across the mushrooms, successfully capturing his attention.

’Just one bite, to see how it tastes!’

He picked a white mushroom with a red-glowing stem and popped it in his mouth. A cool sensation shot straight to the crown of his head, feeling as though his hair was standing on end.

The mushrooms were very chewy. It took him almost half an hour to finish the whole platter.

Yu Fei leaned back comfortably in his chair. This was so pleasant.

Thinking of the prodigies back in the camp, beaten so badly they could no longer care for themselves, while he got to sit here eating barbecue and listening to music... Indeed, happiness comes from comparison.

The mushrooms of Firefly Forest were a local specialty with a unique flavor. Mr. Liu had mentioned earlier while barbecuing that these mushrooms required special preparation; otherwise, they were extremely hallucinogenic.

The night breeze blew gently. This place felt less like a military base and more like a large outdoor campground.

A crescent moon flickered in and out of view in the sky, and Yu Fei thought he saw a large bird circling in the air.

Strangely, he thought he could even make out a person on the bird’s back.

’Could it be that the mushrooms I just ate weren’t cooked properly? Am I hallucinating?’

Yu Fei rubbed his eyes, only to see the large bird stumbling toward the camp, with several people clinging to its wings, screaming in terror.

’I really am hallucinating. Looks like this batch of mushrooms wasn’t cooked through. I need to give Mr. Liu some feedback.’

Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly realized that Ren Feng’s singing had stopped at some point. Everyone in the camp was looking up at the sky, curiously watching the large bird as it plummeted downward.

"Get back!"

Mr. Liu snatched up the barbecue grill, along with the better part of a striped sheep on it, and fell back rapidly. He hooked the spice rack with his foot in one fluid motion, retreating a full twenty meters in an instant.

Li Jueyin picked up the mushroom platter and bounded far away in just a few leaps.

It was only then that Yu Fei realized he wasn’t hallucinating after all.

He had eaten too much earlier. The energy from the food was so immense that his Qi Blood felt scrambled, leaving him dizzy. Although his Super Speed Reaction had noticed the anomaly, his body was too sluggish to respond.

He had just staggered away from his spot when the large bird crash-landed, kicking up a cloud of debris. Several youths in shorts rolled into a heap on the ground.

Dust and smoke filled the air. It was utter chaos.

As soon as they hit the ground, Warriors rushed forward to help. An inspection revealed they only had minor scrapes, but the cheerful atmosphere in the camp was completely gone.

"Hao, is this our stop?"

"What do you think? See that metal door over there? COUGH COUGH..."

Ren Feng’s eyes lit up as he rushed over. "Awesome! You guys actually flew here on a kite? That’s so badass!"

Most Martial Artists would never even think of such a method. Even if they did, they wouldn’t have the skill to build a gliding wooden kite from scratch. It was simply too difficult.

The barbecue uncle came over with a stern face. "You reckless little brats. First, go get your identities registered. Grab a bite to eat. For the next few days, you’re on camp sanitation duty."

"Hao, you register first."

"Yeah, yeah, Hao. We never would have made it without you."

The youth named Hao looked back at the others and didn’t refuse any further.

"Alright. Let’s go in order."

Four fireworks bloomed in succession over the camp, but the last person to register their identity no longer received an extra point bonus.

But the four of them didn’t care at all. Tonight, they were the men who had conquered the sky, the center of everyone’s attention.

Jiao Yu whipped his head around, watching the fireworks bloom one after another in the distance, and his heart seethed with anxiety. He couldn’t understand how these people were crossing Cyan Creek Valley. His elites could hold off an attack from three Primordial Demon Corps on the battlefield, yet they couldn’t stop a bunch of low-level prodigies. It was just damn weird.

"Relay my orders! Dig another trench, ten meters deep! Dammit, I refuse to believe this!"

Watching the number of people who had broken through approach thirty, Jiao Yu grew anxious. They were about to lose their bonus resource reward.
