Chapter 630: Warning from Mountain Gum
Lu Yunxue and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but looked around with lingering fear.
If Suzaku hadn't come to their aid, they would probably have been doomed.
Of course, Li Muhan could do it, but that would waste the mentor's opportunity to take action, and it would be difficult to stop an avalanche of this magnitude and control the power.
"Thank you very much."
Li Muhan also understood this, so at this moment he sincerely thanked Zhuque.
Zhuque smiled and wiped her nose with her hand carelessly: "Hehe~ It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. You little guys, don't try to hold on when you encounter danger in the future, just come to me." Her tone revealed a kind of boldness and confidence, as if there was nothing in the world that she couldn't solve.
Li Muhan felt that Zhuque might not be the type of person who really likes to be flattered by others.
But now is not the time to relax. Li Muhan raised his head slightly and looked at the group of black-skinned aliens standing on the broken cliff.
Their gazes were sharp, like wild beasts patrolling their territory.
The leader was a big and strong man wearing an animal skin coat. He looked at Li Muhan and others below with cold eyes.
That was the culprit who caused the avalanche just now. His eyes revealed a kind of disdain and provocation.
"Oh, isn't that mountain jelly? You little brat, you dare to show your face in front of me now?"
Zhuque raised his head with a smile, looked at the man, and said disdainfully: "Shan Gao, do you recognize me?"
The man glanced at Suzaku, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "Leave this mountain, or you will die."
Zhuque was suddenly unhappy. She pointed at Shan Gao and shouted, "Little Pig, is it because I've been resting for too long that you've forgotten how powerful I am?"
Li Muhan stopped Zhuque, looked up at Shan Gao and said, "We are here to participate in the trial. If you are willing to give us a token, that would be great. If not, then we will also use our own methods to get it."
Shan Gao looked at Li Muhan coldly, as if assessing his strength and determination.
The aliens around also began to get agitated. They gripped their weapons tightly, ready to join the battle at any time.
The atmosphere became tense and a conflict seemed imminent. However, at this moment, Shan Gao suddenly waved his hand, signaling his men to remain calm.
"I've heard of you, Li Muchan." Shan Gao's voice was low, his eyes fixed on Li Muchan.
“It’s a real honor.”
Li Muhan didn't expect that in this closed snow mountain, Shan Gao had actually heard of his name.
"But please believe me, I let you go for your own good."
Shan Gao's words surprised everyone.
I originally thought that the Shan Gao tribe should be a more warlike existence, but I didn't expect that the Shan Gao himself would say such words at this moment.
"Where do I begin?"
Li Muhan asked.
"This mountain is different from before. This trial must be canceled."
Zhuque sneered, "When did you become so arrogant, Shan Gao? You can cancel the Special Management Bureau's trial just like that?"
Her attitude was arrogant and she obviously did not take Shan Gao's warning seriously.
Shan Gao sighed helplessly, his expression showing deep worry.
"When you entered the mountain, I tried my best to send people to intercept you. Now this mountain cannot transmit any information to the outside world. It's still not too late to leave."
Li Muhan was stunned. So, initially in the valley, those strange people from the Shan Gao tribe wanted to drive them out of the mountain? He began to reassess the situation.
"Can I know why?" Li Muhan asked, his voice calm, trying to get more information from Shan Gao.
Shan Gao looked into Li Muhan's eyes and said, "Because that thing has awakened, and its condition is very strange. I know you listened to the apes and wanted to take away the permanent bedrock. But without the permanent bedrock, that thing will leave this mountain, and no one will be able to stop it."
"What exactly is it that you are talking about?" Li Muhan asked. He needed more information to decide how to deal with the impending crisis.
In response to Li Muhan's question, Shan Gao shook his head slightly: "No one knows what it is. Even now, only a fragment of it remains on the mountaintop. But even if it is just a fragment, once it leaves the snow mountain, it will cause incalculable damage to this land."
Hearing this, it seems that the mountain paste mentioned here must be Lin Ze.
"Alright, alright, you said so much, isn't it just because you saw me here that you didn't dare to fight?" Suzaku sneered and waved her hand, her attitude revealing a hint of impatience.
"Hurry up and hand over the Eternal Bedrock so I can lead these kids through the trial." Suzaku's tone carried an unquestionable command.
All Zhuque was thinking about was that Li Muhan could fight with her after he left. As for the trial, she really didn't care much about it.
For her, seeking revenge on Li Chengtian's son is more important than anything else.
Li Muhan glanced at Zhuque. He knew how powerful Zhuque was, but he also knew that they could not ignore Shan Gao's warning.
He had to make a decision, one that would keep everyone safe.
"Shan Gao, we appreciate your reminder," Li Muhan said slowly, his voice revealing a sense of determination. "But we've come this far, and we won't back down. We'll handle that thing with caution, and we also need the Eternal Bedrock to complete our trial."
Shan Gao looked at Li Muhan for a long time, then he sighed and raised his chin to the people around him.
The member of the Shangao tribe took a bag from his waist and threw it to Li Muhan below.
Li Muhan took the bag and opened it. Inside was an exquisite stone totem. The totem was engraved with intricate patterns, and even in the dark snowy night, one could sense the strange energy flowing through it.
"I cannot give you the Eternal Bedrock, Li Muhan. If you insist on continuing the trial, then I will give you the token."
Shan Gao's voice continued to come from above, his words carrying a sense of helplessness and warning.
"Li Muhan, even you cannot defeat it. Its very existence is contrary to this world. No matter how powerful it is, it is nothing in the face of the ancient laws."
His words were heavy, and his figure seemed particularly tall on the edge of the cliff.
After leaving these words behind, Shan Gao turned around and disappeared over the cliff with his people. Their figures quickly blended into the wind and snow in the mountains, as if they had never appeared.
Then Li Muhan walked over to Suzaku. His eyes fell on the girl, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes: "So, that thing on the top of the mountain is Director Lin's clone?"
"Clone?"
Zhuque glanced sideways at Li Muhan and sneered, "If you're referring to clones like Xuanwu and Baihu, I'm sorry you're wrong. Although I can't tell you too many details, if the person on the top of the mountain is truly awake, then it's undoubtedly Lin Ze."
"Then if it was Director Lin, how could she hurt us?"
There was a hint of amusement in Suzaku's voice, as if he was very interested in the current development of the situation: "Why can there only be one Lin Ze in this world?"
Li Muhan was stunned. He began to realize that things might be far more complicated than he had imagined.
Lin Ze's identity, the existence of the mountaintop, and the challenges they are about to face all constitute a huge mystery.
Seeing Li Muhan thinking, Zhuque smiled and said, "I'll give you a piece of advice, Li Muhan. Of course, don't misunderstand me. I just don't want to see you die under Lin Ze's knife. Who would I seek revenge on then?"
"What advice?"
“If the thing on the top of the mountain is really Lin Ze, then run away quickly.”
Li Muhan frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry, I won't run away. If I abandon my students and run away..."
Before he could finish his words, Suzaku interrupted him: "Alas, you are so stupid. Your students will be fine. They are not on Lin Ze's list. And you, Li Muhan, you have violated the rules. When you..."
Zhuque gently touched Li Muhan's chest with his hand and said in a low voice, "Your time should have come a long time ago."
Li Muhan's eyes became deeper after hearing Zhuque's words, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.
Xia Yue rushed over at this time and stood in front of Li Muhan.
"...No one can kill him in front of me."
Xia Yue at this moment was completely different from before. She exuded an aura, and this solemn aura made Zhuque slowly take a step back.
"You're quite strong, little vampire. Much stronger than when I saw you ten years ago."
Zhuque looked at Xia Yue with interest, then looked at Li Muhan: "So, it's this man who made you stronger?"
Finally, she spread her hands and shrugged as if she was bored: "Forget it, I don't want to care about these things. Now you have the token. Does it mean that you have passed the trial? Can I fight you?"
"The letter, the token must have two..."
Chen Yiming said to Suzaku cautiously.
"Ah?! Are you trying to cheat?!"
Suzaku became an instant hit.
Li Muhan smiled helplessly: "This is only the first stage. I heard that the trial has three stages."
Zhuque rushed over and wanted to grab Li Muhan's collar, but was stopped by Xia Yue.
"Are you kidding me?! Li Muhan?! Do you think I have a good temper?!"
"...I didn't think you had such a good temper."
Li Muhan scratched his head and said, "This is the rule. There are three stages of trials. During the trial, if I use power beyond the cholera level, the team will be immediately disqualified. Of course, if you don't mind, I will fight you with cholera-level power."
Suzaku gasped, his eyes widening.
"Cholera level?! Are you kidding me?! Do you think this is just a child's game?! Are you just playing for fun?! I want to beat you to death, or be beaten to death by you!"
"Can't we just stop here?"
Li Muhan smiled bitterly.
Finally, Zhuque couldn't bear it anymore. Flames burst out from her whole body and she looked at Li Muhan and Xia Yue angrily.
"I don't care anymore. I can't bear it anymore. You must fight me today! Right now!!"
