In the dim and chaotic jungle, a figure carrying a small mummy was running at high speed.
Not far behind him, a storm of silver mist blades was rapidly approaching. Zhuang Qi, with all his firepower, was like an invincible scavenger, leaving nothing but desolation in his wake.
Under the pursuit of such a top tracker, who is also a "Chuan" realm expert, it is almost impossible for Lin Qiye to escape his hunting range.
Lin Qiye's instincts suddenly flared as he sensed a divine aura emerging from the direction of Lin Xi Chen's battle. That aura... wasn't it Nyx's? Moments ago, Lin Xi Chen's energy had been incredibly chaotic, yet now it was flowing smoothly—was this all thanks to Nyx?
In that case, Lin Xi Chen has likely finished handling the battle over there, and Nyx has helped stabilize her; now, I just need to focus on resolving the situation and saving the people on this side.
Meanwhile, in the jungle not far from Lin Qiye's flank, the shadows of the trees were swaying rapidly, as if something was approaching.
The second "Chuan" realm expert!
Lin Qiye sensed the overwhelming killing intent from the side, and his heart sank. If there was only one "Chuan" realm pursuer, he could rely on [Starry Night Dancer], [Darkest Ruins], and the little mummy to deal with the opponent, but if two appeared at once... he would have almost no chance of survival.
"Mumu!"
Lin Qiye shouted, and the little mummy instantly understood, firing two rockets at the enemy attacking from the side.
BOOM!!
Flames burst forth in the distance, and in the blinding light, a figure entirely in silver passed through the burning flames unharmed, leaping among the trees like a wild beast. Then, it suddenly leaped up, its ten fingers extending into ten sharp blades, grabbing at Lin Qiye!
Lin Qiye suddenly tightened his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes!
Clang—!
He drew a straight sword and whirled around, slashing at the silver beast's claws!
At the same time, the little mummy was not idle. It quickly grew a meter taller, turned around and carried Lin Qiye on its back, and continued to run forward in the direction Lin Qiye was going.
CLANG!!
On the back of the little mummy, a knife and a claw collided heavily. The silver beast's kinetic energy was directly transferred to Lin Qiye and the little mummy through the claw, sending them flying!
The little mummy frantically grabbed at the air with its hands, then landed on its head with a thud. It got up in a daze, and then Lin Qiye's figure flipped half a circle in the air like a butterfly, landing steadily on the ground.
He grabbed the still-dazed little mummy and continued running forward.
His hand gripping the straight sword felt slightly numb. The silver beast's power was simply too great. Even with the [Starry Night Dancer]'s enhancement, he was far from being a match for its strength.
"A forbidden realm where the body can be transformed into metal and then its form can be changed at will?" Lin Qiye recalled the scene of the metal beast breaking through the rocket and its hands turning into blades, and made this preliminary deduction.
If the opponent could transform themselves into metal, then Mumu's firepower suppression would be almost useless. The two chasing behind him were skilled in sword mist killing and single combat, respectively, and their cooperation made them virtually invincible.
Just as Instructor Hong had said before, the people behind him now were not the greatly weakened "Chuan" realm mysteries from the exercise, but real "Chuan" realm experts! Only now did Lin Qiye truly realize how big the gap was between the "Chi" realm and the "Chuan" realm.
What's more, there were two of them!
It seems the only option is to seek help from Nyx at the hospital…
Just as Lin Qiye was about to probe his consciousness into the mental hospital, the ground suddenly trembled violently. Lin Qiye stopped abruptly, as did Zhuang Qi and the silver beast chasing behind him.
"An earthquake?" Zhuang Qi asked in surprise.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen earthquakes before and was making such a fuss, but rather that the magnitude of this tremor was simply too great...
To the astonishment of the three, the mountain beside them suddenly tilted dramatically, as if it were about to collapse. Huge boulders fell from the mountainside, crashing onto the surrounding ground like meteorites.
Not only this one, but all the surrounding mountains, forests, streams... have begun to tilt, and the tilt is getting bigger and bigger!
The same applies to the mountain where Lin Qiye and his group are located.
"What the hell!?" The silver mist of blades swirling around Zhuang Qi reassembled into a hunting knife. He grabbed a large tree next to him with one hand and exclaimed in astonishment.
Lin Qiye, carrying the little mummy, nimbly leaped onto the almost vertical tree trunk, looked up at the sky, and saw an eerie crimson glow spreading across the heavens...
The scene before my eyes was so unbelievable, it was as if... half of Jinan Mountain had been flipped over!
This is definitely not as simple as an earthquake!Just as this thought arose in Lin Qiye's mind, the surrounding environment suddenly went dark, and the originally vertical gravity seemed to have malfunctioned, moving in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, there was a strong feeling of weightlessness!
Lin Qiye and Mu Mu fell from the tree trunk, plummeting rapidly into the darkness. At a certain moment, the originally scorching air suddenly became cool, as if they had entered another different world.
In a dizzying moment, the lost gravity returned, and Lin Qiye quickly adjusted his body in mid-air. Mu Mu in his arms rapidly grew larger, turning around to protect Lin Qiye in his embrace.
Thump—!
After falling for more than ten seconds, they finally touched the ground. The huge wooden figure landed on the ground with a loud thud, but Lin Qiye was completely unharmed.
Mumu's body shrank rapidly, rolled on the ground, and hopped to her feet, gesturing excitedly with both hands in front of Lin Qiye.
"This isn't a roller coaster at an amusement park, how can I let you ride it again..." Lin Qiye said helplessly.
In the darkness, Lin Qiye extended his mental energy to its farthest point, beginning to carefully perceive his surroundings.
"This is... an underground cave?" Lin Qiye frowned slightly as he sensed the surrounding environment.
He rapidly extended his mental energy upwards, trying to see if this place was underground. Even though his mental energy had spread to its limit of one hundred meters, all he could perceive were endless layers of soil...
Is this more than 100 meters above the ground? How could this be?
Lin Qiye clearly remembered the bizarre scene before he fell: the earth twisted and gravity went awry... But how did he end up in this strange underground cave?
Is this still Jinan Mountain?
Lin Qiye suppressed his doubts, hesitated for a moment, and instead of exploring his surroundings, he first probed his consciousness into the mental hospital in his mind...
"East Wind!"
"One Bam."
"Pong... Pong!"
Lin Qiye walked into the activity room and saw Merlin, Li Yifei and Azhu sitting around a square table, while Nyx stood in a corner of the courtyard, gazing up at the sky. The table was covered with mahjong tiles, while Rubik's Cube was quietly shuffling another set of mahjong tiles.
Holding the three strips in her hand, Azhu asked timidly, "Can...can I touch them?"
