388: Can cooperate

Zhou Xun was visibly fed up, his already furious state completely exploding due to Wu Wenlong.

The first thing they did when facing an enemy wasn't to deal with the enemy, but to attack their own allies.

Chen Tianming was almost amused by their behavior; he couldn't understand how they could be arguing in such a predicament.

"Can you two stop arguing! Our top priority right now is to solve this problem, not to quarrel. If you really want to argue, you should wait until this matter is over, or are you tacitly agreeing to give everything here to Yue Xiaojie!"

A long speech finally brought the two of them back to their senses.

"Chen Brother is right, there's no need for us to fight among ourselves here. You know, our current goal is to find the core here and obtain the treasure."

"Of course I know, but you've seen Wu Wenlong's behavior; he doesn't intend to cooperate with us!"

"Yes, whether he intends to cooperate with us or not, the things inside should be what you want, right? You should know, what I want is never here."

"..."

Listening to Chen Tianming's almost heartless words, Zhou Xun fell into deep thought.

From the very beginning, coming to this palace was indeed his stubborn decision, but for everyone else, it wasn't entirely without benefit. How did all the blame suddenly fall on him now?

Zhou Xun didn't think Chen Tianming was putting on airs; after all, his status was clear, and there was no need for such tactics.

What's more, it had already been clearly stated that Chen Tianming, as an outsider, could not take anything from here!

So from the start, Chen Tianming was not an enemy to any of them; he could even be said to be their best tool. Therefore, they held no animosity towards Chen Tianming.

"Chen Brother, don't be anxious, we're just arguing for fun, we really don't have any other intentions."

It wasn't until Chen Tianming got angry that Wu Wenlong's rationality finally returned. This person was someone he had worked so hard to get; if something really went wrong, who would he turn to for reason?

"Then that's just wasting time. With experience, if we pass quickly, we won't waste too much time!"

"Right, right."

At this moment, Wu Wenlong was like an obedient dog, nodding meekly.

He was too aware of his current situation; he almost entirely relied on Chen Tianming.

Haven't they been able to get this far precisely because of Chen Tianming, this outsider's strength?

So many dangerous environments, and them...

They were clearly aware of their lack of strength, but they had never encountered such a difficult environment before.

"Since you've chosen, then go all out. Don't disappoint me!"

After reprimanding the two, Chen Tianming no longer bothered with their thoughts and immediately took action.

All actions were so fast, so swift.

This branch was like a juvenile, appearing exceptionally easy to bully.

In just a few moves, all the branches were severed without any hesitation.

"This is too easy, something's not right!"

Zhou Xun couldn't believe that something in the core would be so simple and easy.

If that were the case, wouldn't it be anticlimactic, completely laughable?

"..."

Wu Wenlong fell silent beside him, a hint of reliance appearing in his eyes as he pondered something.

"Chen Brother is right, no matter what kind of secret manual this is, whether it's powerful or weak, we can't let our guard down!"

"Now you know not to let your guard down, but then I have to ask, who was it that was so anxious to leave earlier?"

Zhou Xun's tone was sarcastically mocking.

"Zhou Xun, who hasn't had a past? What do you mean by that? You're just clinging to that point, aren't you? I'm not... not saying anything!"

Wu Wenlong angrily rebuked, but because of what Chen Tianming had said earlier, he didn't dare to be too excessive, only able to express his anger in this way.

And Zhou Xun was not afraid of Wu Wenlong's behavior, even acting incredibly arrogant.

"Hehehe..."

Zhou Xun sneered, but his movements didn't stop. Although he lacked strength, at this moment, he could still contribute.

He was truly fed up. These occasional crises always managed to put him in a forced position.

It should be noted that up until now, their fighting through challenges was more like Chen Tianming's difficulty.

So their abilities could only be described as mediocre; without Chen Tianming, they wouldn't have been able to reach this point.

After dealing with the branches, the three moved forward rapidly.

With their accelerated pace, they actually managed to catch up with the people ahead.

"You guys can still catch up, that's pretty good! The things inside this core are destined to be ours!"

Yue Xiaojie said with great arrogance. In her eyes, everything was within their expectations.

Even if Zhou Xun's people caught up, they wouldn't be their opponents.

"Miss Yue, we've already cleared the path ahead, should we continue?"

"Isn't there a ready-made path? If you want benefits, you must contribute yourselves. Don't think about taking advantage of us."

"We won't take advantage of you, Yue Xiaojie. Saying something like that is truly disgusting!"

Wu Wenlong was the first to be displeased. After all, he and Yue Xiaojie already had a feud, and she even wanted his life.

"What, you dislike me so much? Then why didn't you kill me back then?"

At this moment, Wu Wenlong could be said to be quite arrogant, perhaps feeling that being anything less than arrogant at this point would be useless.

Yue Xiaojie, at this moment, perhaps because she felt she had victory in hand, spoke with exceptional provocation.

"Hahahahaha..."

"Wu Wenlong, you don't really think you can obtain such a thing, do you? Or do you think you can get this? It's truly laughable."

Hearing the other party's words, Wu Wenlong felt his dignity was being trampled underfoot.

"Yue Xiaojie, don't think that just because you brought a few bodyguards, we won't dare to deal with you!"

"Then go ahead and make a move. I'd like to see what kind of ability you have to say such things!"

"..."

Zhou Xun merely listened indifferently from the side. After all, what did Wu Wenlong's fate have to do with him?

It was enough that Yue Xiaojie hated him, but not them.

"Miss Yue, I think we can cooperate on this matter. You only entered this palace by chance, didn't you?"

Listening to the olive branch extended by Zhou Xun, Yue Xiaojie merely scoffed.

"Cooperate with you?"

"Hahahahaha..."
