Therefore, if he could obtain a blessing from the immortal mountain above, that would be his only chance of survival.
Thinking of this, his steps became lighter, no longer as timid as before.
Who knew that when he stepped onto the fifth miniature floating island, which was clearly trending upwards, he suddenly plummeted after stepping onto it.
He Li panicked and wanted to return to the fourth miniature floating island. With his cultivation level, he could still manage such a short jump. However, the miniature floating island rose rapidly, instantly creating a distance that filled him with despair.
Just then, a vine suddenly flew over, wrapped around his arm, and pulled him back.
Standing on solid floor again, He Li, still shaken, saw the rattan cane in Zhao Ruizhi's hand and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ruizhi said calmly, "Let's continue exploring. I'll bring you back if there's any danger."
As he spoke, he showed off the vine in his hand. This was inspired by his swinging of the giant python. He casually tore off a long vine from the dense forest next to him. Unfortunately, these vines were hard to reach a distance of a hundred feet, otherwise the first thing he would do was whip that brat on the other side to death.
The gratitude that had just risen in He Li's heart vanished instantly. He cursed inwardly, "Your vine isn't long enough. It might have been enough at first, but when I tried it and there were problems later, you couldn't save me."
Despite the myriad of thoughts swirling in his mind, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue exploring.
Because there are several other miniature floating islands to choose from next to the next miniature floating island, in order to speed up the probing process, Zhao Ruizhi selected several Qi Wangfu assassins to go together. He stayed behind to oversee the situation, and if any of them fell, he would use vines to pull them back so that someone else could take their place.
Having reigned as emperor for so long, he naturally understood the art of governing. If he kept forcing the same person to take risks, the person would definitely harbor resentment, and if they did something irrational in despair, it would affect the overall situation. Therefore, taking turns in charge could motivate everyone and give them something to look forward to.
As for He Li, that guy is too cunning and afraid of death; I need to push him a bit.
On the other side, Zuan saw that their exploration was slow but effective, and they were getting closer and closer to the sacred mountain in the sky.
He couldn't help but frown. There were so many people on the other side who could be tested by exhaustive methods, but he couldn't do that on his side. Firstly, there weren't enough long vines, and secondly, if he went to scout ahead, Bi Linglong's cultivation level would make it difficult to save him in time. It wouldn't be good to let the weakened Bi Linglong go to scout ahead.
Unexpectedly, Bi Linglong volunteered to scout ahead, clearly understanding the implications of her intelligence: "As for the vines... I have quite a few clothes in my storage space, which can be torn into strips to make ropes."
Zuan shook his head: "It's too far from here. Even if we stripped naked to make ropes, it wouldn't be enough. They're obviously planning to use human lives to test it. How can we choose that method?"
Bi Linglong's face turned pale: "Then what do we do? Are we just supposed to stay here and wait to die?"
The red fog below is rising and will obviously engulf this place in a few days.
Zuan silently asked Mi Li if she had any ideas, but Mi Li didn't answer his question. Instead, she asked, "Do you believe what I say?"
“Of course I believe it.” Zuan chuckled. “If you, my Queen Master, tell me to go east, I would never dare to go west.”
“Then…” Mi Li paused, “what if I asked you to die?”
