I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

Chi Zigao and Huangfu Qinghe both looked at him.

"How about it?"

"It's confirmed, Pike is much more stable than Mordekaiser."

"That's good." Huangfu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief. "What should we do next?"

Chi Zi Gao spoke first, his tone as unruly as ever: "What else can we do? Go back to human territory! We have two eighth-level thugs now. If we go back to human territory, those people won't dare to do anything to us anymore."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, looking relaxed, and began to imagine the magnificent scenery after returning to human territory.

"Besides, we don't even know how our other friends are doing, so it's better to go back sooner..."

At this point, a rare hint of worry flashed across his face, but he quickly masked it, his tone becoming enthusiastic again: "Anyway, let's go back now. With Chen Yang here, what are we afraid of!"

Thinking of the other players from the same period, Chen Yang also felt some worry.

They knew that those players' only fate was to be sent to the front lines of the battlefield, where they might one day become cannon fodder in the human-zombie war.

At this moment, Huangfu Qinghe raised his head, his brows furrowed slightly, and his voice was neither hurried nor slow.

“Chizi Gao, don’t you realize one thing? We are not in a position to return safely right now.”

Chi Zigao was taken aback: "How can it not be? Doesn't Chen Yang already have an eighth-tier Pyke?"

Huangfu Qinghe sighed softly, but his tone remained calm: "Chen Yang has Pike, that's true, but have you considered the two of us? What are our strengths?"

He looked calmly at Chi Zi Gao, then at himself, a slight smile playing on his lips: "If others are hostile to us and do not allow strong individuals to emerge among the ascendants, we will only be seen as a burden."

Chi Zigao opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to refute, but the other party's straightforward tone left him speechless and frozen in place.

Huangfu Qinghe continued, "Back in human territory, Chen Yang can indeed protect himself, but what about the two of us? Don't forget, these native humans are no good. If something happens, Chen Yang will have to take care of us, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"

Chi Zigao was silent for a while, then finally muttered in a low voice, "But if we don't go back now, we can't just keep wandering around in this desolate wilderness."

Huangfu Qinghe shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Who said we wouldn't go back? It's just not the right time yet."

"What I mean is, Chen Yang should go back and establish himself first, while we continue to improve our strength on our own according to the previous plan. Once we've become stronger, then we can go back."

"At that time, we will not become a burden to him."

The air fell silent again. Chi Zigao looked at Huangfu Qinghe, his face full of conflict.

He had had enough of this life of hiding in the wild, and now he finally had hope of returning to human territory, but that hope was extinguished by Huangfu Qinghe.

"But..."

He complained bitterly, "Just the two of us... alone out here... who knows, we might end up dead in the wilderness one day..."

"If we don't even have the ability to survive outside human territory, we're destined to only hold Chen Yang back if we go back."

Huangfu Qinghe replied calmly, his tone utterly unperturbed.

Although Chizi Gao wanted to say something more, he ultimately held back.

He knew in his heart that Huangfu Qinghe was right.

Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Huangfu Qinghe makes sense."

"I'm worried about Huang Aotian and the others, I'll go back and check things out first..."

"How the native humans perceive us is still unknown, and suddenly appearing in their sight could be even more dangerous than being in the wild..."

He paused, his gaze falling on the two of them, his tone becoming more serious: "Seventh rank. According to my calculations, a seventh rank should be able to have some say in human territories, and then they won't do anything to you."

"Once you possess seventh-tier plants, return to human territory."

"Alright, I'll listen to you then," Chi Zigao said, his tone tinged with helplessness.

Huangfu Qinghe nodded, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes. He seemed to want to say something more, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

The humans of this world are ultimately unknown to them.

How strong is the opponent?

What are your thoughts on Ascended beings?

Every step is fraught with danger.

But perhaps influenced by Zhao Changming, Chen Yang couldn't let go of the friends he had made in the garden space.

He did not have the vision of saving the world.

All he wanted was for his few friends not to die.

If they had acted sooner, Huang Aotian and Liu Yan might have had a better chance of survival.

Having made up his mind, Chen Yang looked back at the two of them, but he still couldn't let go of some things in his heart.

He flipped his hand and took out two plant cards from his spatial ring.

A picture of a "little wizard in a flowerpot".

One of them is a "Hellfire Chili" burning with intense flames.

He handed the two cards to Chi Zigao and Huangfu Qinghe, his tone serious: "With these, at least you can handle some situations."

The current Flowerpot Wizards' spell strength is only at the level of a fifth-tier plant. Having Huangfu Qinghe take them along will not only increase their strength, but also make the wild the best place for them to level up.

The Hellfire Chili Pepper can help the two of them deal with some crisis moments.

Huangfu Qinghe nodded, put away the card, and said nothing more, but the emotion in his eyes was clearly more somber.

After a moment of silence, Chi Zigao broke the silence with a grin.

"That's settled then. Chen Yang, don't worry too much about us. Maybe when we meet again, I'll already be at the eighth level."

Chen Yang thought to himself, "This guy, Chi Zi Gao, changes his mindset pretty quickly."

The three stood at the entrance of the cave, exchanged glances, and said nothing more about parting.

Huangfu Qinghe patted Chen Yang on the shoulder, his voice low but firm: "Take care."

Chi Zigao scratched his head and said casually, "When we get back, we'll be counting on you to hold things up."

Chen Yang nodded: "After you return to human territory, find a way to contact me."

He climbed onto Rex's back, turned north, and sped away, his figure gradually swallowed up by the dense jungle.
