My carefree life in space

Chapter 29 Identity Exposed

At the encampment, Xiao Qin watched Mo Ze walk in the direction Lin Shushu had left, and couldn't help but feel anxious, hoping that those people would act quickly.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Not long after, Mo Ze and Lin Shushu walked back hand in hand. Lin Shushu's face was full of smiles, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

She was horrified. How could Lin Shushu be unharmed? How did those people even do their job? They couldn't even handle a woman.

Mo Ze had only been chasing after her for a short time, so Lin Shushu's unharmed state was definitely not his fault. So why did this happen, and what was going on?

Although Lin Shushu was talking to Mo Ze, she kept an eye on everyone's expressions with her divine sense.

Sure enough, she saw the incredulous expression on Xiao Qin's face. Although it was only for a moment, she still caught it.

Understanding dawned on her, Lin Shushu deliberately walked past Xiao Qin, secretly delighted by her forced smile. Those people have forgotten what happened today; you can rack your brains trying to figure it out. You'll be lucky if you can.

Watching Lin Shushu and Mo Ze walk away, Xiao Qin's smile vanished. No, she had to find out why Lin Shushu was able to come back alive.

The message she sent went unanswered, and Xiao Qin was so angry she wanted to smash her personal computer, but she managed to restrain herself. Having grown up, she had always been gentle and polite in front of outsiders, and she still had that much self-control.

Leaving aside Xiao Qin's secret resentment, Lin Shushu made her presence known to the mastermind behind the scenes, and her previous unpleasantness disappeared. Now she was in a great mood.

However, Mo Ze remained in a low mood, and he also noticed Xiao Qin's expression. But Shu Shu said not to touch him for the time being, so he had no choice but to endure it.

Lin Shushu sensed Mo Ze's displeasure. She squeezed his hand and whispered something in his ear, which made Mo Ze's expression improve.

The others were unaware of what had happened, and the atmosphere remained pleasant. Apart from Xiao Qin and Ning Shiyu occasionally trying to make their presence known, Gu Heng, Xiao Yi, and Li Yong were easy to get along with. They shared their experiences and insights from the past few days with Mo Chen and the others, and each of them gained something from their journey.

After resting, the group continued their journey.

Sunset Forest is vast. They walked for several more days but still hadn't reached its depths. They had only explored about one-fifth of the forest, but they had already encountered many dangers.

The deeper you go into the center, the higher the level of the beasts you encounter. Besides two level five beasts, there is one level six and one level seven beast.

Mo Chen and Gu Heng could kill a level 5 beast by working together, but when they encountered a level 6 beast, even they couldn't defeat it.

Now it was Mo Ze's turn to make a move. Seeing Mo Ze cleanly and efficiently kill the level six alien beast, Gu Heng and the others showed knowing expressions.

No wonder Ji Feng and the others subtly respected him; it wasn't just because he was Mo Chen's cousin. They hadn't seen him make a move along the way, and they thought he wasn't very strong.

What shocked them even more was yet to come: just now, they had actually encountered a level seven alien beast.

When the level-seven beast appeared before them, its overwhelming aura pressed down on them, and their legs went weak, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

Just when they thought they were going to die here today, Mo Ze made his move.

Seeing the earth-shattering battle between the human and the beast, they were not only shocked but also full of admiration. Was this still human strength? How could it possibly stand up to a level seven beast?

They had never heard of Mo Chen having such a powerful cousin before. This reminded them of someone else: Mo Ze, the God of War of the Empire. Among the younger generation, only he had such strength.

Wait a minute, cousin, brother, Mo Chen has only called him "brother" these days. Aren't cousins ​​and other cousins ​​all "brother"? They seem to have guessed some incredible truth.

The war god had been missing for half a year. Recently, there was news that he was still alive, but could not return for the time being. I never expected him to appear here.

Gu Heng and others were not the only ones who thought of this; Ji Feng, Tang Yucheng, and He Fan also confirmed Mo Ze's identity at the same time.

My God, they actually got to eat meat roasted by the God of War himself! This is something to brag about for a whole year!

They were so slow to realize that someone with such formidable strength, whom Mo Chen called "brother," could be none other than that one person.

They all looked at Mo Chen, their eyes conveying a clear meaning. Mo Chen instantly understood what they meant. Could he be blamed? His brother had forbidden him from revealing it; he had no choice!

Xiao Qin, however, showed no surprise in her eyes, only admiration and determination, while a hint of murderous intent flashed across her face. The only person beside him could be herself.

Trees and gravel rained down, the outcome was decided.

As the person slowly walked back, everyone thought they were seeing a god. This must be the demeanor of a war god, something that no one else could compare to.

When he noticed the strange looks people were giving him—a mix of shock, enthusiasm, and admiration—Mo Ze knew his identity had been exposed.

However, he didn't say anything. So be it; he'd been exposed. He'd concealed his identity before simply to avoid too much attention, but now that he could no longer hide it, he'd just let things take their course.

After encountering a level-seven beast, both teams knew they couldn't venture any further. Even with Mo Ze present, their safety was guaranteed, but they dared not let the God of War be their bodyguard.

So, the group is now heading towards the edge of the forest.

Thinking about what Xiao Qin had done before, Lin Shushu decided to teach her a lesson before leaving the forest.

Soon, the opportunity came.

As they passed through a dense forest, Ning Shiyu suddenly yelled, "Something's grabbing me!" Gu Heng went over and discovered that she had tripped over a tree root that was hanging precariously from the ground.

The tree roots were embedded in the ground at both ends, leaving the middle suspended in mid-air. Ning Shiyu happened to step onto the suspended part, and when she tried to lift her foot, she couldn't pull it out, as if she were being held tightly by some monster. Coupled with the dim light, she screamed in fright.

Gu Heng looked speechlessly at Ning Shiyu, who kept screaming, "It's a tree root. Pull your foot out yourself."

Ning Shiyu was screaming with her eyes closed at the moment. Hearing this, she was a little doubtful, "But it moves. It moves whenever I move."

"You practically pulled it out of the ground, so of course it'll move with you!" Gu Heng said irritably.

"Really?" Ning Shiyu was skeptical. She slowly opened her eyes and boldly looked at her ankle. Sure enough, a black tree root was lying across her ankle, loose at both ends, about to break through the soil.

She awkwardly pulled her foot out. "I was just nervous. Besides, girls get scared when something like this happens."

After this incident, Lin Shushu seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and a smile spread across her face.

Mo Ze was puzzled as to why she was laughing, and Lin Shushu mouthed "You'll find out soon enough."
