A flash of light appeared, and four figures emerged from the white mist.
"When it comes to speed, I, Suma, have never lost to you!"
One of the figures casually tossed his hair, his face beaming with smugness.
However, no sooner had Suma finished speaking than giggles rang out behind him.
"I never imagined that one day I could run as fast as a rabbit!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Suma's expression turned to surprise. He looked at the people behind him and asked, "Yutu, what are you doing here?"
"And the apostles!"
Suma saw the last person, Jiang Yuan.
"What, you're allowed to come in, but we can't?" Yu Tu walked up and put his arm around Su Ma's shoulder, laughing and joking.
"You managed to get here from so far away?" Suma was extremely surprised. His talent was speed, but the others were not as lucky as him!
Yu Tu raised an eyebrow at Jiang Yuan and said smugly, "That young man is capable, are you jealous?"
“I’m not surprised that Elder Xu and the apostle were able to get in, but your speed…” Su Ma showed a complicated expression.
Yu Tu turned around and indeed saw another person, who was also the only outsider among the four: the Xu family's eldest elder.
"Young man, if you want to enter the ancient ruins, then follow me!" After saying this, the Xu family elder walked in one direction. He was calm as he spoke, but the cold glint in his eyes revealed that he was hiding a secret.
Upon hearing this, Su Ma instinctively followed, because the purpose of inviting the Xu family was to explore this site, and it would be a waste of the alliance elder's painstaking efforts if he didn't follow!
However, just as Suma was about to move, the two people behind him did not follow.
"Yu Tu, aren't you coming?" Su Ma turned around and asked in surprise.
Yu Tu's face showed a conflicted expression, but in the end she still looked at Jiang Yuan.
"You guys go ahead, I want to investigate alone!" Jiang Yuan walked away in another direction without looking back.
Both Elder Xu and Jiang Yuan were heading towards the ruins, only their directions differed slightly.
"What do we do now?"
Seeing that both the Xu family's Grand Elder and the Apostle had such strange personalities, Suma was caught in a dilemma. Following the Xu family's Grand Elder would definitely be safer, but the Apostle's mysterious demeanor also gave him considerable confidence, so he really couldn't make a choice for the time being.
"How about you go with Elder Xu and I go with the Apostle?" Yu Tu asked Su Ma for his opinion.
“This isn’t good. Before we came out, the elders specifically told us to follow Elder Xu. Only someone from the Xu family can find the real treasure hidden in the ruins!” Suma said, frowning.
"That's not necessarily true. I think the Apostles are quite mysterious, and didn't a group of people come in before the oath? They might know more about this site than the Xu family!" Yu Tu argued sophistry.
Suma's eyes darted around, and he chuckled strangely, "Alright, let's switch. You go with Elder Xu, and I'll go with the Apostle!"
"I'm not going to travel with an old man! What if he's after my beauty? We're all alone here, and I can't beat him. What if..." Yu Tu raised an eyebrow, and he didn't need to finish his sentence.
“That makes sense!” Suma nodded in agreement, but then asked strangely, “Wait a minute, that apostle is also a man, and a man full of vigor at that. Aren’t you afraid of him?”
"No, absolutely not!" Yu Tu quickly waved her hands, her delicate face tense as she said, "If anyone is coveting someone, it's me coveting them, they'd probably avoid me like the plague!"
Suma shuddered at Yutu's words and whispered a warning: "Yutu, don't go too far in your pursuit of thrills, or you'll get yourself into trouble!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
“Alright then, I’ll go with Elder Xu. Let’s explore the outer perimeter of the ruins first and pave the way for Long Da and the others!” Su Ma finally agreed to splitting up into two groups.
"Be careful, I'm leaving!"
Yu Tu solemnly patted Su Ma on the shoulder, then jogged after Jiang Yuan in the direction he had gone.
"Going to seduce that evil star, the Apostle, might result in losing both your wife and your army!" Swift Horse shook his head helplessly as he watched Desire Rabbit hop away. The Zodiac Team knew a bit about the cultivation techniques Desire Rabbit used, after all, they had all been tricked by her before, losing some of their strength for no reason and being listless for several days. If they hadn't actually had any real relationship with Desire Rabbit, they would have suspected that they had been secretly bewitched by this girl, otherwise why would they have been listless for several days in a row?
Jiang Yuan rushed through the ruins. The communication stone that had been lying motionless in his storage ring for a long time started to move again when he entered the ruins. However, there was no message from Ning Yanlan and the other two in the communication stone, only intermittent and extremely ethereal unknown calls.
The call stirred Jiang Yuan's heart, and he vaguely sensed the location of Ning Yanlan and the others.
"Apostle, wait for me!" Yu Tu finally caught up from behind.
"Why is this woman here?" Jiang Yuan was a little embarrassed when he heard the voice. Since entering this ruin, his senses had been weakened to the lowest point. He didn't even know when Yu Tu caught up with him.
"Why are you walking so fast? The fog is so thick, I almost couldn't find you!"
Yu Tu, acting as if they were old friends, blocked Jiang Yuan's path. Her expression at that moment had a hint of accusation; clearly, she was blaming the apostle for not waiting for her.
"Our cooperation was only to gain access to the ruins. Now that we're inside, our cooperation is over!" Jiang Yuan explained calmly.
"I know!" Yu Tu had already guessed the apostle's words. She asked with a grin, "So where are you going?"
