Boom boom boom!
As several more booming sounds resounded, the entire void trembled. Xiang San staggered back a few steps, panting heavily, but his eyes behind the mask held a bloodthirsty and ferocious pleasure!
"Chase me down! Hmph! I'll make sure none of you are left alive!" Xiang San felt a surge of anger and satisfaction.
You should know that before this, he was being hunted down very badly and couldn't shake them off. If he hadn't met Xuan San, he might have really had to fight to the death.
Xiang San looked at Ye Wuque and found that Ye Wuque was also panting heavily, having also expended a lot of energy; the two were about the same.
After all, both of them are indispensable in order to restrain and lure all these triangular humanoid metal figures.
"Xuan San, this time, consider it an obligation I owe you!"
Xiang San's voice rang out, carrying a gloomy tone.
Ye Wuque completely ignored him, remaining cold and aloof, and simply sat down cross-legged to begin his recovery.
Even after several breaths, he still coldly said, "The beings behind these ancient ruins went to great lengths to teleport us separately, intending to defeat us one by one!"
"This means that he may not have the ability to encircle and completely kill us. As long as we can regroup, we will definitely be able to fight our way out."
"Those three beast guardians must have been killed by being defeated one by one in this way."
"Let's get back to normal quickly. We need to work together now; neither of us can do without the other."
"After all, who knows what we'll encounter next?"
Xiang San wasn't annoyed at all by Ye Wuque's cold and aloof demeanor; on the contrary, he found it natural.
After all, this is Xuan San's personality trait.
“You’re right, let’s recover first.” Xiang San immediately seized the time to recover from his own exhaustion and injuries.
Fifteen minutes later.
Ye Wuque and Xiang San both stood up, clearly having recovered some of their energy.
"What do we do next?" Xiang San asked Ye Wuque.
"Try to find other people. If we can reunite, you're better at finding people and investigating than I am. Besides, this godforsaken place has a good layout for spiritual perception. You come." Ye Wuque's tone remained icy.
Upon hearing this, Xiang San nodded.
Immediately, the phantom of Xiang Liu reappeared behind him, its eyes shining brightly, illuminating the void.
A peculiar fluctuation suddenly emanated outwards, and Xiang San began to lead the way.
Clearly, Xiang Liu, as a beast guardian in this sequence, possesses a special talent in perception.
"In terms of perception and searching, the most skilled among us should be Zhu Yi. Where do you think he is right now? Logically speaking, if he wanted to search, there's a high probability he could find us all!"
As they moved forward, Xiang San suddenly spoke up, as if he had something in mind.
"Hmph, he's probably heading straight for the creatures behind these ancient ruins, or even for that promising fifth-level talent. That's the most important thing," Ye Wuque replied.
"So, that's what you think too?"
"Anyone in his position would react the same way. After all, he is Sequence One. In his eyes, we are not even worth one ten-thousandth of the potential of a Level 5 seedling, not to mention the value of this entire ancient ruin."
"Hey, Xuan San, it turns out that although you have a cold personality, you actually know everything in your heart. You're a smart person too. Indeed, the less you talk, the less you reveal."
"Among the Beast Protectors, those who weren't smart enough are long gone!"
As Ye Wuque and Xiang San continued their exchange, they continued to search and perceive.
However, it seems that nothing has been achieved in the short term.
"Is the temperature of this ancient ruin constantly rising? Getting hotter and hotter, what's going on? Is it some kind of dangerous trap?"
Xiang San frowned, already sensing the change in the environment.
Ye Wuque remained silent in response.
He naturally knew the reason...
It was caused by him.
What Xiang San didn't know was that Ye Wuque's perception had already covered all areas, and he was fully aware of the situation of the other two beast guardians.
Rebuttal 3...
He is already dead.
He was very unlucky and didn't have time to escape the icy blue river area. He seemed to have escaped but was forced back and was eventually strangled there, leaving no trace of his body.
As for Jiao San, she escaped a calamity relatively speaking. She forcefully tore through the illusion, and although she paid a price, she managed to break out of the transparent maze tube. She is currently hiding somewhere to recover from her injuries and exhaustion.
As for Candle One...
Beneath the mask, Ye Wuque raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze becoming profound as if he had "seen" something.
But only a dozen breaths later.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The entire ancient ruins seemed to tremble, the earth shook, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
"What's going on!?"
Xiang San was immediately shocked and enraged.
"This is a massive upheaval, not a localized one; something drastic must have happened in an instant!"
Ye Wuque spoke coldly.
The next instant, before the two could exchange another word, a familiar voice, seemingly approaching from afar, drifted in from a certain direction.
"Everyone, follow the signs and come here immediately!"
Buzz!
At the same time, a golden and silver light surged through the void, as if it were a guide.
"That's Zhu Yi's voice!" Xiang San's eyes narrowed, and he immediately recognized it.
"Could it be that he found it? He found the guy behind the ancient ruins and even suppressed and defeated him?"
Upon considering this possibility, Xiang San was deeply shaken.
"So what do we do now?"
At this moment, Ye Wuque asked Xiang San a question in return, seemingly throwing the question back at him.
After hesitating for a few moments, Xiang San gritted his teeth and finally said, "Go! You know the consequences if we disobey his orders, and if he really has everything under control, we'll definitely be punished later if we don't go!"
"If he really found a potential level five talent, such a great contribution, coupled with the secrets of this ancient ruin, would be immeasurable!"
"In this situation, if we disobey orders, it will give him an opportunity to kill us!"
"Although the organization forbids beast guardians from killing each other, those in the know understand the specifics. After all, different beasts can devour each other to evolve and transform!"
"My Xiangliu has no desire to become nourishment for his 'Candle Dragon'!"
After saying that, Xiang San took the lead and followed the road, with Ye Wuque naturally following closely behind.
Half an hour later.
Guided by the power of Zhu Yi, Ye Wuque and Xiang San finally arrived at a vast and magnificent square.
They encountered no obstacles or dangers along the way.
Soon, Ye Wuque and Xiang San saw Zhu Yi standing in the square.
In the square, there were all sorts of strange installations, such as a huge, bizarre statue in the center, which looked like it was made of endless metal.
Just a few breaths after Ye Wuque and Xiang San arrived, Jiao San also staggered in.
Only Piercing the Third was absent.
When the three of them walked up behind Zhu Yi and looked over, Xiang San and Jiao San were both shocked!
Because right in front of Zhu Yi, there seemed to be a facility on the ground that resembled an ancient nutrient tank!
Inside Tibet, there lay a little girl, about eight or nine years old!
He lay inside with his eyes closed.
"This is the prospect with the potential to reach level five..."
As soon as Zhu spoke, his gaze beneath the mask became deep and sharp.
"After I found this place, I tore it to pieces."
Following Zhu Yi's words, everyone looked towards a spot further ahead, where there was a small, fragmented, fleshy puppet-like object, but it was already dead.
"Could it be that it has been targeting us all along?" Xiang San couldn't help but ask.
"This thing, if nothing unexpected happens, should be something like a 'spirit' in this ancient ruin? But it's definitely not the master!" Jiao San said breathlessly.
"Does that mean we've completed our mission and can return to the organization safely?"
Xiang San said with some excitement!
Just then, Xiang San felt Zhu Yi's cold gaze fall upon him, and he immediately trembled!
"Just go back like this?"
"But we haven't figured out the secrets of this ancient ruin at all, we haven't found anything, are we just going to give up like this?"
Zhu Yi spoke with some reluctance!
Jiao San and Xiang San looked at each other but remained silent.
But at this moment, a faint smile had already appeared on the lips of Ye Wuque, who had always maintained a cold and aloof persona.
"This actor's performance was quite convincing..."
"His acting skills... were a bit lacking."
