However, for him, the first goal is the most important, and the others are dispensable to him!

Now, An Yu has been found, and the mission assigned to them by the academy has been forced to terminate because the four major families unilaterally breached the contract. He thinks he can't find a reason to stay.

An Yu knew what Su Fanjun was thinking from his expression. He looked at Su Fanjun and said seriously, "Since God has let us know the plans of the four major families in advance, this is definitely not without purpose!

I think that destroying the plans of the four major families can be considered as us completing the tasks assigned to us by the instructors at the academy. Moreover, we have also saved the lives of so many freshmen, isn't that a good thing?"

Xu Errong frowned in thought. When he heard An Yu say this, he remembered what his master had taught him. He sighed and said lightly:

"Master said that a so-called alchemist should not only refine pills to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation, but should also help others and achieve breakthroughs in their own state of mind while improving their cultivation. That's why I chose to stay."

"Then I'll stay too." Seeing Xu Errong's very clear statement, An Ran decisively stood on the side of his brother and senior brother!

Jun Zichen raised his eyebrows and glanced at An Ran, then looked at Su Fanjun and said, "Since An Ran has chosen to stay, then there's no doubt that I will stay too. So what's your choice?"

…

Su Fanjun's mouth couldn't help but twitch. His choice? Did he still have a choice?

Looking at the questioning looks from the four people around him, Su Fanjun decisively surrendered!

In this way, the five people reached a very friendly agreement to stay together and continue to rescue people!

But before that, Xu Errong passed the latest news he got from Su Fanjun to Venerable Mo Shang, asking him to be mentally prepared, lest they completely fall out with the people from the four major families during this freshman trial, catching them off guard!

After the group made the decision, they gave up the mission of the freshman trial, bypassed the Apocalypse Mountains, and came to the only way for the four major families to secretly enter the mountains!

This circuit lasted three days, and they had circled nearly half of the inner perimeter of the Apocalypse Mountains! Along the way, they encountered various beasts, swamps, poisonous miasma, and other treacherous natural environments. The group narrowly escaped death, and by the time they reached their planned destination, everyone was exhausted and extremely weak!

"Here, here are some pills. Our master gave them to us before we came here. They are better than those distributed by the academy!" Xu Errong took out some bottles of various colors and sizes from his space ring and handed them to Su Fanjun.

Su Fanjun took out a bottle at random, opened it and took a look. Wow, it turned out to be the third-grade rejuvenation powder!

He raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Errong. As expected, he was the disciple of Master Mo Shang! Such precious elixirs were given in bottles at will!

Xu Errong's expression became much more focused when he talked about the elixir. He ignored Su Fanjun's gaze and took out another bottle from the space ring. He handed it to Su Fanjun solemnly and said seriously:

"This bottle of pills is a shape-shifting pill. Each pill is only effective for three days. You must take another pill within three days! Otherwise, your true appearance will be exposed!"

After saying this, he looked at An Ran, An Yu, and Jun Zichen and said, "You three should still have eight, right? There are only five in this bottle, so we have thirty-seven in total. How about seven for each of us five?"

An Ran, An Yu, and Jun Zichen nodded, agreed to Xu Errong's arrangement, took out their own shape-shifting pills, and handed them to Xu Errong.

After Xu Errong divided the pills, he handed them back to everyone and emphasized again the things to pay attention to when using the Shape-Shifting Pill.

It was especially emphasized that when using the Transformation Pill, no contact with any form of venom was allowed! On the other side of the Apocalypse Mountains, there were many dangerous places that were not marked in the academy. They had already suffered great losses when crossing the mountains!

After a short rest, the group of people each found a hiding place and quietly hid themselves away! They almost blended into the environment, making it impossible for people to detect their presence!

Before this, the plan they discussed was: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

They planned to follow the people from the four major families and quietly watch what they were going to do without disrupting their original plans at all.

But later, when these people led all the monsters to the freshmen, they switched things up and attracted all the monsters in advance!

They waited like this all night! They barely moved that night, quietly waiting for those people to arrive! Until the next morning, they suddenly heard Jun Zichen's voice!

"They're coming! They're about two kilometers away from here! I'm using my spiritual sense to transmit a message to you now, and I'll tell you their distance!"

Two kilometers?!

Everyone looked in astonishment at where Jun Zichen was. None of them could sense that those people were approaching, but they didn't expect that Jun Zichen already knew the exact distance from where those people were!

However, this thought only lasted for a moment. With Jun Zichen's reminder, everyone calmed down and focused, looking ahead seriously, quietly waiting for their arrival.

"There's still one kilometer to go. However, there are some very powerful elders inside, so everyone should be careful. Be more secretive and try not to make any noise! ​​I won't be transmitting sound to you anymore! Everyone, please be careful!"

As Jun Zichen's words fell, an old man in the group frowned slightly, carefully sensing the movements around him. Only after he noticed a water snake swimming in the nearby swamp did his brows relax slightly...

Before they had to wait any longer, An Ran and the others heard some intermittent voices.

"Uncle Hai, how long do we have to go...how many days..."

"Seventh Young Master, please be more patient..."

As the voices became clearer and clearer, the group of people gradually appeared in their sight.

There were not many people in this group, only ten, two women and eight men. Except for one man and one woman who were dressed in bright and fancy clothes, the others were all wearing uniform navy blue robes!
