As the group ran, the expert at the Heavenly Profound Realm caught up first.
"Don't stop, keep running, let's hold him off!"
Seeing this, several experts at the Heavenly Profound Realm and Earthly Profound Realm exchanged glances and immediately joined forces to meet Bu Jiang's Heavenly Profound Realm expert head-on. "The Ten Mile Pavilion is just ahead, and the Imperial Capital's defense line is another ten miles away. Don't give up!"
"Walk!"
With red eyes, Mu Xi gritted her teeth and, without the slightest hesitation, led everyone to continue running.
Soon, the group saw the Shili Pavilion in the distance.
"It's Shili Pavilion, ten miles away! Everyone, hold on!"
Upon seeing this, joy appeared in Li Guihua's eyes, and she shouted to the crowd.
"Wait, what does that sign say?"
Just then, Mu Xi, who was running in the lead, suddenly pointed to a sign on the side of the road.
The sign had four strange words written on it: "Beware of pitfalls."
"What's the meaning?"
Upon seeing this, Li Guihua and the others all stopped in their tracks, puzzled.
"Oh, right, I remember now!"
At this moment, one of the female soldiers said, "There are a lot of pits dug around this Shili Pavilion, I don't know when."
"Oh right, I just remembered! Don't be fooled by the seemingly fine surface; it's actually riddled with pits underneath!"
"Moreover, that pit is extremely deep; cultivators below the Spirit Profound Realm who fall in basically cannot climb out."
"The people in this area have been cheated so many times that they put up this sign."
"But for some reason, it seems that more people have fallen into the trap since the sign was put up."
"..."
Speaking of this Shili Pit... cough, Shili Pavilion, all the soldiers who were originally exhausted seemed to suddenly become energetic.
There are so many stories about Shiliting Pit that many people come specifically to see it.
Because some people noticed that these holes appeared to have been dug out by hand.
Of course, most people don't believe it, thinking it must have been dug out with some kind of finger-like tool.
However, regardless of the truth, the sheer size of this 100-meter-deep crater is indeed astonishing.
Li Guihua and others: "..."
Mu Xi: "..."
What the hell is this "beware of traps" warning?!
If you just put up a sign that says "Beware of pitfalls," the normal reaction of most people would be that it's a small pitfall, right?
To avoid getting their feet stuck in the small pit, everyone's first thought was definitely to go to the pavilion to avoid it!
Who came up with this signboard?
Is it certain that the person who put up this sign wasn't deliberately writing it so vaguely to mislead people out of resentment?
Why not bury them?
Mu Xi looked completely bewildered. "What's the point of putting up a sign?"
"Ahem, General, you have no idea how many pits there are in this area, more than you can imagine."
One of the soldiers, with a strange look on his face, said, "There are pits everywhere within a hundred meters."
Mu Xi: "..."
Who the hell is this amazing person?
If it's a prank, going this far is quite dedicated!
"Moreover, the pits were so close together that there wasn't even enough room for a small child's foot to fit between them."
Another soldier weakly chimed in, "So, the local people originally planned to fill the pit, but before they could fill it, the people all fell in."
Mu Xi: "..."
"I see them! Go after them!"
Just as the group was wondering how to respond, they heard the voice of the pursuers behind them.
