"Yes, it's a good thing you came, Miss Yue, otherwise we would definitely have become fertilizer along with Liu Xue and the others."
Another person said the same thing.
Since Liu Xue and the others were beyond saving, Yue Jiuxing decided not to bring them out. They were already dead, so there was no point in bringing them out. They only rescued the people who were still alive.
After they got out, everyone sped up, trying to escape the mountain. Yue Jiuyue had said that the mountain was a spirit, and they were all inside it. If they didn't run, they would be eaten.
"Quick, let's get out of here! That place was the mountain spirit's strongest point. I burned it with fire, but it can still catch up quickly. This whole mountain belongs to it, and this place is its belly. Although it doesn't seem to have completely controlled this mountain yet, we have to leave quickly, otherwise, if we're any later, it will recover and we won't be able to escape!"
As Yue Jiuyue spoke, she led the way and ran forward. Her guess was actually correct. Although the mountain had become a spirit, the spiritual energy in the human world was not very abundant, so even though it had become a spirit, it had not been able to completely control the entire mountain.
Like a person with two disabled legs, it can only control its hands now, but its legs are not fully healed and it cannot obtain spiritual power to enhance itself, so it can only rely on its two hands to do everything.
When they reached the first tomb passage, which was also difficult to traverse, everyone was panting heavily when the passage suddenly shook as if an earthquake had struck. This frightened everyone so much that they all dropped to the ground or even crawled away.
"Oh my god, are they going to bury us all alive?! God, run!"
When Uncle Liu felt the earthquake, he was terrified and quickly covered his head, rushing forward with everyone else!
When Yue Jiuyue felt the earthquake, she was a little surprised, because she had always thought that this mountain spirit was at most a small mountain demon, but it was not bad that it could make this 'disabled' mountain demon cause an 'earthquake'.
Upon feeling the tremor, Yue Jiuyue said to Yue Jiuxing, "How about it, do you want to go take a look?"
"Let's see, maybe there will be one~"
Upon hearing Yue Jiuyue's words, Yue Jiuxing chuckled mischievously, "Hehe, it's rare to see mountain demons in the human realm these days. Maybe it's hiding some good stuff~"
"Yes, that's what I think too."
As Yue Jiuyue spoke, she said to the people who were still running ahead, "You run first, we'll cover the rear."
As she spoke, she walked away, smiling as she went, her eyes even sparkling as if she were about to receive something good.
Sister Qing heard their conversation from the front and responded, knowing their abilities and not worried about them getting into trouble.
When they finally managed to rush out along the original route, they found that it was already daytime outside, and the entire hilltop had collapsed in some places and become lower due to the earthquake.
"boom!"
After they emerged safely, the entire hilltop trembled again, but quickly calmed down.
"Why haven't Miss Yue and the others come out yet? Could it be that they can't get out?"
"I don't think so, they're so amazing."
"Oh, there was another tremor just now. I'm so afraid they won't be able to get out of there."
Those outside were worried about the two inside, but the people inside were overjoyed because they had teamed up to bully a little mountain demon and even managed to steal something good from him.
"Hehe, it would have been better if you had taken it out earlier. Honestly, you made us do it ourselves."
Yue Jiuyue happily tossed a brown bead into the air and caught it. She said, "Don't be angry. Look at you, it's just a cultivation core. You can slowly cultivate back a mountain of it, so don't be angry~"
"That's right, that's right. We're not going to cripple your cultivation. Just consider all those years of cultivation as a waste. It's okay, you'll recover in a few hundred more years."
Yue Jiuxing smiled and spoke to the black mud on the ground. After she finished speaking, the two of them left the mountain, leaving behind only a little mountain spirit filled with sadness.
Actually, what they said wasn't wrong. It was good that they only stole the inner core. If they had encountered other cultivators, they probably would have just destroyed the mountain demon's cultivation and turned it back into an ordinary mountain. As for the inner core, they certainly wouldn't have kept it and would have crushed it.
After leaving the mountain, Yue Jiuyue said to the people outside, "Alright, let's go, we're fine now."
"That's great, you're all safe and sound. Everyone got out alive. To be honest, during the earthquake, I thought we were all going to die inside."
Looking at the mountain, Old Song said with lingering fear, "But thankfully we all made it out. By the way, Miss Yue, when you reached the very end, the mountain shook a bit. Are you alright?"
"It's alright, we're out now, aren't we? Let's go, we can go back now."
As Yue Jiuyue spoke, she looked at the big boss and said, "Boss, how's your illness? By the way, what about Liu Xue and the others inside..."
“I will pay their wages to their families. I will not owe them what I owe them. As for my illness, I feel like I vomited and had diarrhea, but I don’t feel uncomfortable anymore without taking medicine. I don’t know if it’s because I’m cured.”
The big boss became happy as he spoke, because he felt that his illness seemed to have improved a little.
Sister Qing was a little happy to hear what he said, but she still said, "You still need to go to the hospital for a check-up. If you are really cured, then you won't need to go to the tomb to look for coffins or Ganoderma lucidum anymore."
