The rose and the nine-leaf sword grass quietly approached the death fungi one after the other.

Ling Xuewei lowered her voice and said to Ye Fei, “When I count to one, let’s control it together.”

“Three…”

“Two…”

“One! Do it!”

The rose and the nine-leaf sword grass attacked at the same time, tightly entangling the death fungus!

The death fungus began to shake violently, trying to break free.

But the stem of the rose was full of tiny thorns. Every time it shook, it would be stabbed by countless tiny thorns.

The death fungi soon gave up.

It no longer tried to break free. Instead, it opened the umbrella and released spores.

It tried to poison the enemy in this way, in exchange for freedom.

However, the rose and nine-leaf sword grass were both plants. They did not need to breathe, and they would not absorb the toxic spores into their bodies.

Therefore, the death mushroom failed again.

Xiao Yi also released the giant Crystal Scorpion and let it slowly approach the death mushroom, looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

However, the death fungus were surrounded by toxic spores. The Giant Crystal Scorpion did not dare to rashly go forward. It could only silently observe from a distance and look for an opportunity.

Ye Fei was afraid that there would be more trouble, so he decided to create an opportunity for the giant crystal scorpion.

“Nine-leaf sword grass, blade dance!”

The nine-leaf sword grass immediately shot all the leaves out. Under Ye Fei’s control, it only bounced around the death fungus’s body repeatedly.

The dense and irregular attacks made the death fungus completely lose its bearings.

It could only continuously spit out spores.

Wherever it was attacked, it would spit out spores.

However, it did not realize that it was slowly being directed in the direction of the attack.

The instant spitting from all directions, under the interference of blade dance, became spitting only in a few specific directions.

It left a large empty area without spores.

“Now! Hurry up!” Ye Fei shouted at Xiao Yi.

With a thought from Xiao Yi, the giant crystal scorpion immediately rushed forward, raised its tail, and ruthlessly stabbed at the death fungus!

A thick poison was injected into the death fungus’s body, and the entire death fungus rapidly turned green and black at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In just a few dozen seconds, the death fungus completely withered and died.

Ye Fei took back the nine leaf sword grass and said with a smile, “Perfect Coordination!”

Ling Xuewei could not help but raise the corners of her mouth, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

She had forgotten the little bit of unhappiness that Ye Fei had questioned her strength. She only remembered that she had finally worked together with her dream man.

Moreover, the dream man had personally said that their coordination was perfect.

This kind of affirmation must have made her extremely excited.

Xiao Yi was also very excited because he could finally play his part. He was no longer just a side character.

The number of monsters he had killed in the previous few levels was probably not even comparable to a single leaf of the nine-leafed sword grass.

This made him very frustrated.

Now that there were finally single-target monsters, Xiao Yi felt that he finally had room to play!

“I hope that there are such single-target monsters behind us, and there won’t be any more groups of monsters,” Xiao Yi prayed in his heart.

The group carefully went up to the sixth floor.

What entered their sight were the corpses of fierce beasts all over the ground.

The few remaining fierce beasts were all hiding far away in a corner, silently licking the wounds on their bodies.

It was very obvious that these were the results of the previous parties.

When Xiao Yi saw this scene, he immediately smiled and said, “It seems that there are benefits to being slow. We don’t even need to open the path personally.”

“Why don’t we just follow behind? Let them open the path for us in the front while we follow behind and easily pass through… how good would that be!”

Ling Xuewei rolled her eyes at him and said, “Do you think the school leaders and teachers are all idiots? Why would they let you take advantage of such a loophole?”

“There are actually more than one ferocious beast guarding at the end of each floor. It’s just that they don’t release it at the same time. Once the one in front is defeated, they will immediately release a new one to replace it.”

“The one in the back will always be stronger than the one in front and more difficult to deal with.”

“Do you still want to follow behind others now?”

Xiao Yi shook his head like a rattle-drum. “Then forget it.”

As he spoke, he had already reached the stairway.

He saw a giant wasp that was more than a meter tall being chained to the stairway.

Sensing that someone was approaching, the chain was automatically untied.

The giant wasp immediately raised its tail and shot out its long stinger like an arrow!

“Be careful!”

Ye Fei only had time to shout these two words before Xiao Yi’s shoulder was pierced by the stinger.

Xiao Yi instantly felt that half of his body was numb!

“Root entanglement!”

“Flower stem bind!”

Ye Fei and Ling Xuewei activated their skills at the same time.

However, the giant wasp was extremely fast. The nine-leaf sword grass’s root only brushed past the tip of its tail, while Ling Xuewei’s rose did not even touch it.

The giant wasp turned into a yellow bolt of lightning and charged straight at Ye Fei!

Ye Fei was shocked and hurriedly withdrew the roots of the nine-leaf sword grass to block it.

However, he was still half a beat too slow.

At the critical moment, the little white tiger of Qing Kui pounced over and blocked it for Ye Fei!

In the next second, the Little White Tiger landed heavily on the ground, and there was a long sting in its abdomen.

It struggled to get up but found that its body could not use any strength at all.

An intense numbness spread from its abdomen to its limbs.

The wasp retreated quickly and pulled away from Ye Fei and the others.

At the same time, a new sting was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Its speed was too fast. It was as difficult as climbing up to the sky to restrain her!

Ye Fei decisively gave up on his usual tactic and no longer tried to control her. Instead, he attacked directly.

“Nine-leaf sword grass! Blade dance!”

“Lunar Direwolf! Lightning Claw Attack!”

“Ling Xuewei, release your rose as well! It’s best if you can hold it off. Even if you can’t, you have to disturb it!”

“Qing Kui, quickly heal your little white.”

“Xiao Yi, can you still control the Giant Crystal Scorpion? If you can, let it attack too!”

Xiao Yi’s body was already numb. He could not even open his mouth to speak.

Fortunately, his ability to think was not affected. He could still control his pet with his mind.

Qing Kui gave the little white tiger a large mouthful of healing potion. Before it could fully absorb it, she ordered it to enter the battle as well.

Under the siege of the five pets, the giant wasp gradually fell to a disadvantage.

However, its speed was too fast. Even if the five pets were to attack at the same time, most of the time, they could only graze its body a little. It was very difficult to cause too much damage.

On the other hand, the giant wasp relied on its speed advantage to continuously shoot out its stinger to counterattack while dodging left and right!

Several times, it had almost hit Ye Fei and Qing Kui’s pet beasts!

Xiao Yi was burning with anxiety as he watched from the side.

He knew too well how powerful the numbing effect of the stinger was. If Ye Fei or Qing Kui’s pets were to be stung by the stinger… no, even if it was just a little graze, they would instantly lose the ability to fight!
