"No way." Instructor Hong shook his head firmly. "You're going to lure the others away? They're genuine 'Chuan' Realm experts! Unlike the fake 'Chuan' Realm experts we encountered during the previous exercise. Don't think that just because you killed two mysterious figures during the exercise, 'Chuan' Realm experts are nothing special. Any one of them could easily crush you, let alone the 'Hai' Realm expert!"
"But this is the only way," Lin Qiye said calmly. "If I don't expose myself, they will definitely find this place."
Instructor Hong opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but Lin Qiye continued:
"Moreover, I don't intend to confront them head-on. As long as we delay for three hours until the other instructors arrive, the initiative will be in our hands."
"In the dark jungle, they want to catch me... but it won't be that easy."
Lin Qiye raised his head and looked at Instructor Hong with unwavering confidence in his eyes.
Instructor Hong hesitated for a moment, the distant explosions from the mountains growing louder and louder. He gritted his teeth, "Alright, we'll do it your way. Remember! Don't engage them head-on! Survival is the most important thing!"
Lin Qiye nodded, and Instructor Hong did not hesitate any longer. He ran towards Shen Qingzhu and the others. With each step he took, it seemed as if a mysterious force was propelling him forward. He moved swiftly, covering a distance of 100 meters in just two or three steps.
When Baili Pangpang saw Instructor Hong running so fast all by himself, he exclaimed "Damn it!" and took off running to catch up with him.
Seeing their figures gradually disappear into the night, Lin Qiye did not linger in the village. Instead, he ran in the other direction, his figure moving like a ghost through the dim forest, quickly putting a distance between himself and the village.
Seeing that he was in the right position, Lin Qiye took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a dazzling golden light, and he fully unleashed the divine power of the Seraphim!
In this silent, deep mountain, the divine power of the Seraphim is exceptionally conspicuous.
A moment later, the gold in Lin Qiye's eyes gradually faded. He stretched out his hand and gently pressed it in the void, and a magnificent magic circle was automatically erected in the air.
The spatial fluctuations from another dimension grew stronger, and soon, a small mummy appeared before Lin Qiye's eyes.
The little mummy quickly looked around and, finding no weapons or snacks in the room this time, lowered its head in disappointment...
Lin Qiye stroked the little mummy's head, gazing at the distant mountains, and murmured to himself:
"Trying to kill me... won't be that easy."
...
In the silent depths of the mountains, a figure wearing a baseball cap is walking straight through the woods towards Village No. 1.
Suddenly, a surge of divine power came from another direction, its aura as dazzling as stars. While on the opposing side, a malevolent aura surged so intensely it felt like it was strangling the life out of others.
He let out a soft exclamation and slowly stopped in his tracks.
"Strange, wasn't he supposed to be going to that village to provide rescue? How come he's in that place...?"
He closed his eyes, carefully sensed for a while, and nodded firmly.
"That's right, it's definitely divine pressure. It seems to be him."
He turned to look at the place where Lin Qiye's aura had appeared, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes, "If I can kill one of the Twin Gods' Agents this time, I'm sure I can get a place among the [Believers]! I've had enough of these hard times!"
"You lowly agents, prepare to die!!"
He took off, his speed increasing dramatically, and sprinted straight towards the source of the aura!
The same scenario also occurred with another "Chuan" realm expert.
But there is one exception.
At this moment, on the mountainside of a certain peak in Jinan Mountain, a man slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the place where Lin Qiye's divine might had appeared.
"Wanting to risk his own life to protect others... This dual-god agent is quite interesting."
He was the only suspected "Sea" Realm expert that Lin Qiye sensed who hadn't moved.
He looked at the distant mountains, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, as if he was debating whether to make a move. After a long while, he gently shook his head.
"One 'Pool' Realm is enough; those few good-for-nothings should suffice. Right now, this matter is far more interesting..."
He turned around and looked at the enormous cave in front of him. A scorching and powerful aura was rhythmically emanating from the cave, as if the mountain had come to life.
A strange light appeared in the man's eyes. "I never imagined that a fiery earth dragon would slumber beneath this obscure mountain range... What an unexpected gain."
...
In the darkness, Instructor Hong's legs glowed with a faint blue light, like Superman, leaping more than ten meters into the air in a single bound, and quickly scaling a mountain peak.
Based on this ability, if Instructor Hong hadn't taken Lin Qiye and the others into the mountains in the first place, they probably wouldn't have needed more than eight hours, and at most two hours, to reach Village No. 1.
The buzzing explosions grew closer, and he could vaguely see blinding flames rising from the distant mountains, igniting again and again, only to be extinguished in an instant, only to reignite once more…
No one but Shen Qingzhu could do such a thing.
Instructor Hong's expression grew increasingly grave. He crouched down slightly, and the blue light on his legs flared up once more. He then leaped from the mountaintop towards the direction of the battle!
His body floated lightly as he fell from the mountaintop. Just as he had fallen halfway down the mountain, several thick vines shot out from the mountain like lightning, instantly binding Instructor Hong's feet and pulling him down!
The original balance was broken, and the enormous gravity instantly changed into centripetal force, throwing Instructor Hong's body heavily onto the stream in the mountainside!
Thud—!
A dull thud resounded, and with the immense impact, a large amount of rubble flew up. Instructor Hong scrambled to his feet, blood trickling down his forehead.
Whoosh!
The vines binding Instructor Hong's legs tightened again, pulling him rapidly into the dense forest. Despite his injuries, Instructor Hong remained extremely calm, drawing his Star Blade from his back and instantly severing the vines.
He steadied himself, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding darkness with the sharpness of an eagle's eye.
"I originally intended to catch an unfortunate kid, but I ended up catching an instructor instead...tsk tsk tsk." A figure slowly emerged from the tree trunk. Before this, Instructor Hong hadn't seen anyone in the area at all.
This is an enemy that has been hiding in the shadows all along!Instructor Hong's expression gradually turned serious. With this person holding him back, he wouldn't be able to rush to rescue Shen Qingzhu and the others in the short term...
Things are getting complicated.
In the distance, in some inconspicuous little corner.
A chubby figure peeked out, looking at the two people facing off by the stream, a conflicted look in his eyes.
"Luckily, I was a bit slow, otherwise I probably would have been stopped halfway... But now, should I go help the instructor first, or go rescue Brother Zhu?"
He glanced at the composed Instructor Hong, then at the continuous explosions in the distance, and quickly made a decision.
"Instructor Hong, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, it's just that I believe in your abilities..."
Baili Pangpang muttered to himself as he ran quickly toward where Shen Qingzhu was fighting!
