“That was the last of the wasps.” Tang Yue loudly sighed, wiping the sweat off of her forehead.
She flopped onto the ground inelegantly and huffed and panted, resting her tired body for a bit.
The other elves as well were in a similar state, completely worn out and fatigued.
Unlike Tang Yue who had the special earrings that can almost constantly replenish her with mana, the others were also depleted of their mana reserves.
Even Tang Xi who tried her best to maintain her grace and allure, was right now leaning tiredly on the wall, trying not to slump down onto the rough cave surface like the others.
Within the span of a few minutes, things had changed a lot.
In the beginning, they were indeed behaving greedily, competing with each other to see who could hog the maximum number of incoming undead wasps and reap the most benefits.
But as time went by… bit by bit… the number of incoming wasps steadily increased.
And right now, even when the entire group worked together, continuously slashing them down one by one or even three or four at a time, they were only barely managing the incoming wasp waves.
Of course, this was without Xavier butting in.
If he wanted to, he could have finished everything in a minute and they could have already moved ahead.
But he didn’t do that. He was simply standing like a statue observing everyone from the sidelines.
The worst part was that they couldn’t even blame the prince for being so blatantly lazy!
Tang Yue was the one who had asked him to not act.
So everyone directed their grievances at her and kept throwing a few hateful glances, now and then, in her direction.
Even if they were not previously paid to assassinate her within this labyrinth, they had a feeling that they would have still ended up killing her nevertheless.
The woman was so darned foolish and hateful!
It’s fine if you want to work hard and improve your strength, but why did you have to drag everyone and slow us down along with you?? They grimaced.
If they could, they would have already left her behind. They knew that most of the other groups should also probably be in similar situations.
And with Xavier present in their group, they could have smoothly cleared all this mess, progressed much more quickly, leaving behind the other groups in dust.
But because of this stupid snake, they couldn’t use this godly advantage they had.
Which other groups would have this good luck of traveling with a Saint realm expert?
They had it but they were wasting it! It was infuriating!
If the outer layers of the labyrinth itself gave out so many advantages, they could only salivate thinking about what the inner layers might offer.
But this stupid woman was making their head hurt!
“Let’s take a small break.” Xavier chuckled and plopped himself down next to Tang Yue.
He took out a yellow-colored fruit from his spatial ring and also tossed one to Tang Yue.
She had been watching him munch this thing one after the other for about an hour now.
So Tang Yue was very curious as she bit into the juicy yellow fruit.
A heavenly aroma wafted out as sweetness and sourness filled her mouth together.
The fruit was extremely juicy, and just with a single bite, she could feel her mouth filled to the brim with the sweet juices.
She nodded in amazement and quickly took the next bite.
Not only was the fruit very appealing in taste and satisfying her taste buds, but Tang Yue could clearly feel her tiredness and fatigue wash away.
It looked like the fruit had a very good refreshing and rejuvenating property!
She had used a few recovery potions by now, which she had previously purchased from the alchemy association.
But none of those even came close to a single bite from this godly fruit.
Tang Yue looked at the casually snacking elf, sitting next to her and ogling at her sister dumbfoundedly.
The guy did not even fight anything, so why did he simply eat these like a glutton and waste the precious fruits??!
And why the hell is he ogling unblinkingly at that damned slut every chance he got!
Tang Yue rubbed her temples.
The weirdest part was… even though he was ogling at Tang Xi openly, he still didn’t offer her a fruit.
Only Tang Yue got the special treatment. No one else received any fruit from Xavier.
Tang Yue was sure that her sister was cursing her inwardly right about now.
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this weird scenario.
Xavier’s policy was most probably ‘food before hoes’?
The snake wryly chuckled. It was beyond her wits to understand this elf’s actions. She sighed and didn’t pay attention to it anymore.
After a short break, the group then resumed their trek again, walking deeper and deeper into the tunnel.
Tang Yue and Xavier were both standing in the front, with Tang Xi closely following behind them.
The other elves walked in the back, clearly not as well-rested as the duo in the front.
After walking for a while, everyone sighed in relief.
They had walked for about 5 good minutes, but no other wasp wandered into their path.
The wasps might be weak but it was very tiresome finishing them off, while at the same time dodging their random bursts of toxic bodily fluid.
So it was good that they were not coming at them from all directions any longer.
But unfortunately, they had celebrated too soon…
They did not come across any more wasps in their path, but suddenly the rocky stalactite covered roof above them started moving and a different beast horde descended onto them.
Bats!
Not just ordinary bats, but a very similar pungent smelling, ooze leaking undead bats!
