The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1023 - 392: Interstellar Escape Live Stream (Part 16)

Chapter 1023: Chapter 392: Interstellar Escape Live Stream (Part 16)

Of course, the temptation was only fleeting!

Anyone who can partner with Tao Yao, the female lead, is someone whose character can be trusted.

Even though they’re criminals, some were forced into crime or had no choice, and their nature isn’t bad.

They still maintain at least a basic level of kindness and principles.

100,000 Star Coins is indeed very tempting, but it’s not enough to make them abandon everything they hold dear.

Besides, their goal is to survive, and while Star Coins are important, a reliable partner is even more so.

Like Tao Yao!

Since joining Tao Yao’s team, they haven’t gone through much hardship or danger, and have smoothly earned Star Coins and popularity.

They can eat delicious meals every day, trust their comrades to watch their back during dangers, and survive without turning on each other like beasts; they don’t have many more extravagant needs.

Compared to 100,000 Star Coins, a dependable leader like Tao Yao is clearly more important.

The fundamental rule of Tao Yao’s team is: Never harm fellow teammates!

Why was Tao Yao relentlessly pursuing Zhang Meng and his group last night?

Not just because they were beasts who murdered a woman using cruel methods.

The main reason was that Zhang Meng was an adventurer who had joined them, and he was under observation.

On the surface, he had accepted Tao Yao’s team’s rules and was trying to integrate into the group.

Although Tao Yao hadn’t completely trusted him, she still gave him a chance to prove himself.

But then, Zhang Meng foolishly harmed the weakest girl in the team!

Zhang Meng might have thought that Tao Yao’s team was like many others, where the strong prey on the weak.

In reality, what Tao Yao hates the most is teammates killing or betraying each other!

Therefore, Tao Yao was determined to take down Zhang Meng, mainly to "set the rules"!

Even though Doctor He hasn’t officially joined their team, Tao Yao feels close to him and probably already considers him one of her own.

At this time, if team members were to harm Doctor He for the reward, Tao Yao would be the first to disapprove!

Yes, the prize is indeed tempting, but they still want to continue surviving in the Adventure Park with Tao Yao.

So—

Swallowing nervously, they tightened their grip on their weapons and silently stood beside Tao Yao.

Tao Yao, on the other hand, felt a bit tense.

There were indeed a lot of enemies, and crucially, this wasn’t the only wave.

As that person said, there are several Death Orders on the forum, and the bounty has already reached 100,000 Star Coins.

With such a high reward, countless adventurers would surely rush towards them.

After eliminating one wave, a second wave, a third wave would come next...

Tao Yao couldn’t imagine how their team could survive against so many adventurers.

Abandon Doctor He and sever ties?

Tao Yao couldn’t bear it; after all, Doctor He hadn’t done anything wrong.

But risking the lives of herself and her entire team for a stranger who spoke some hard truths felt equally unsettling for Tao Yao.

Truly a dilemma!

At that moment, He Hongtian moved.

Without any useless words, he raised his hand and scattered dozens of mini wooden thorns like the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers.

These wooden thorns, no longer than a palm’s length, hit the approaching adventurers.

Some didn’t hit vital spots, and some merely grazed the skin.

"Haha! Thought it was something powerful, turns out it’s just a child’s trick!"

"Ouch, it hurts! Haha, just a little stick, thought it could kill!"

"Haha—"

The dozen or so people laughed uproariously, looking at He Hongtian as if he were a funny clown.

However, before they finished mocking, someone among them fell to the ground with a pained expression.

Thud!

Thud!! Thud!!!

One by one, the dozen people fell to the ground.

Each wore a pained expression, struggling to breathe, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all of them stopped breathing.

Tao Yao: ... Damn! I knew Poison Arrow Tree was toxic, but witnessing it in person was still shocking!

Team Members: "Lucky we didn’t make a move earlier, or we would be the ones dead now!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Only then did they realize that Doctor He was incredibly ruthless.

He looked gentle and frail but was actually a demon who killed without a second thought.

It was at that moment, everyone suddenly realized that this person before them had made it to the top 300 on the leaderboard all by himself.
