As Zhu Ji had expected, Jing Yao indeed had no one willing to team up with her. She stood silently in the corner, her gaze fixed on the swamp in front of her.

The swamp was bubbling, and something was swimming faintly below. Jing Yao frowned silently, observing the expressions of the others. It seemed that everyone realized that something was wrong with the swamp.

Someone asked, "This swamp is dangerous; there's probably something underneath. How are we going to cross it?"

Su Xue'er squinted and took the first step forward. The swamp was vast and its depth was unknown, so she couldn't guarantee that the time-stopping range would ensure that everything inside was also stopped.

This is the drawback of her time-stopping ability: it can only be used three times a day, and once time-stopping is used, other people who intrude will not be affected by the pause.

"What do you think we should do, Sister Su?"

Su Xue'er turned to look at the person who spoke, "Let's look around first, seven days is enough for us to get there."

Jing Yao had no companions, so she found a corner to continue cultivating and healing.

Su Xue'er walked over and looked down at Jing Yao. "Do you want to come with us?"

Jing Yao glanced at Su Xue'er's teammates behind her, her eyes revealing undisguised disdain. She calmly looked away and coldly refused, "No need."

"You refused Su's invitation; you really don't know what's good for you."

"Someone with mixed spiritual roots really thinks they can enter the Starry Sky Immortal Sect?"

Su Xue'er showed no anger on her face and calmly raised her hand, "Since Sister Jing is unwilling, then forget it. Let's go and take a look around."

Jing Yao didn't care about the group's sarcasm at all; with no one to disturb her, she could cultivate in peace.

The largest team, consisting of over 190 people, had 30 members. Su Xue'er randomly picked seven people to form a team. Those chosen by Su Xue'er were overjoyed, while those not chosen were filled with envy.

At this moment, someone tried to fly on a sword, but as soon as he took off and landed on the swamp, he found that he could not use his spiritual power. If his teammates hadn't pulled him up in time, he would have been swallowed by the swamp.

This discovery left everyone present in silence for a long time. "How are we supposed to live without using spiritual power?"

Su Xue'er hadn't expected this situation. Her brows furrowed. What was the Starry Sky Immortal Sect up to? They couldn't even use their spiritual power in a trial; how were they supposed to get through?

As Zhu Ji watched these people laughing without any restraint, he casually wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "I really wonder what it would feel like for these people to know that they have to dive into the Abyss Swamp to find the passage."

"Rabbit, it's burnt."

Mingyue looked sadly at the charred rabbit in Zhuji's hand.

She decided not to give this useless pill anymore; it was completely pointless.

Zhu Ji's hand trembled, and the smile on his face faded slightly. He felt as if he had lost something important.

"Shall I go catch a few more for you to roast?"

Mingyue pulled a package of vacuum-packed roast duck from 778's private stash. "Hey, go ahead."

Zhu Ji stared in astonishment at the roast duck in Mingyue's hand. No, where did this come from?

Mingyue warily protected the roast duck in her hands, "What are you doing!"

"Ahem, I'll go catch a rabbit right now!"

Zhu Ji disappeared in a flash. Mingyue was just about to enjoy the roast duck when the huge roast duck in her hand was gone!

Who was it?! Which bastard stole her roast duck?!

She focused her aura, but couldn't detect a single hair. There wasn't a single living creature within a hundred miles. Mingyue asked in confusion, "778, did you do this?"

[How could that be, Master? I have no such ability!]

If it had that ability, why couldn't it hide its little treasure? Waaah...
