Xie Zhou followed the crowd to the side. She lay behind a rock and watched the two powerful figures walking away in the distance. She was still a little nervous. Was she really going to compete with these giants for the so-called treasure?
She carefully surveyed the surrounding route, hoping not to come face to face with those two powerful figures and engage in a direct confrontation. Xie Zhou felt that she had no chance at all and had to find a way to avoid those energy fluctuations. Even if she couldn't avoid them, she had to find a safer place to approach.
These alone were enough to rack her brains and take her a lot of time to figure out. After all, once she opened her mental energy, she could keenly sense the battle fluctuations around her, and her mental energy would also emit a series of stinging pains, making it impossible for her to use it.
Moreover, if she didn't use her mental power, even if she had explored the surrounding route beforehand, she would only know part of it. If she were to be careless and take the right path, she might end up facing those two powerful beings head-on around the corner. That would be quite terrifying for her. She was really afraid that she would be wiped out by that giant-like hand.
If I accidentally pass away, who will I turn to for help? However, this mission is quite difficult, and I must seek help from the system and Tao.
Xie Zhou knew that she was like an ant in front of these two powerful beings. Although ants are small, they are agile. Knowing this, she came up with a clever trick.
That is to minimize one's presence, quietly slip into the territory of the two adults, resist the aftermath of the battle, and watch the show as they fight over the treasure. Once the treasure appears, seize the opportunity to take it.
This can be considered a solution, since those two adults should be most concerned about the battle with the other side.
But how did these two powerful figures end up on the ancient battlefield?
The four suns haven't even risen yet, and the ancient tomb hasn't been opened. What's going on with these two lords? Why did they suddenly appear here?
Xie Zhou was curious, so he asked the system who these two powerful beings were.
The system responded that it was currently unable to detect where those two powerful individuals came from or who they were. The system requested that the host approach them so that it could detect them.
Xie Zhou frowned slightly at the unsatisfactory answer sheet.
Time passed by, but the group remained motionless because the two adults were still locked in a fierce battle.
Senior Brother Song and Luo Fentian then stepped forward to discuss the matter with Xie Zhou.
Luo Fentian stepped forward first and said, "We've been stuck here with these two seniors, wasting our time. We must find another way to bypass these two powerful figures."
Senior Brother Song added from the side, "Yes, we must quickly find a way to detour, otherwise, as you can see, it's almost time. Once the four suns rise on the ancient battlefield, the ancient tomb will open. We can't delay any longer."
The other disciples seemed to be getting anxious, their initial excitement turning into impatience.
"How did those two important figures appear? They found a good spot, so which way do we go now?"
"Who knows? Look, Senior Brother Luo, Senior Brother Song, and Senior Sister Xie are discussing it over there. Let's just wait and see."
"Um……"
Seeing everyone so agitated, Xie Zhou issued orders to the system.
"System, when I go to investigate, you must conceal my presence so I can quietly lurk near those two adults. Otherwise, it will be disastrous if I'm discovered, understand?"
"The system will fulfill the host's request."
"good!"
Seeing that Xie Zhou hadn't spoken, the two senior brothers frowned slightly, wondering what Xie Zhou was planning.
Xie Zhou reopened his mental energy, enduring the pain, and finally figured out the surrounding path.
He then instructed, "Senior Brother Song, lead everyone around the area where the powerful beings are fighting. There are three forks in the road in the northeast and northwest directions. The best road is to go in the northwest direction and take the innermost fork. Senior Brother Song, look in the direction I'm pointing; that's where you enter the intersection. After walking for a while, you'll find three small paths. Head towards the outermost one to avoid the powerful beings. This will also reduce the chance of being injured by the aftershocks of the battle."
"good!"
“Senior Brother Luo, you and Senior Brother Song go first, and I will bring up the rear for you.”
"No, Junior Sister, you should go first, and we'll protect you from behind."
"Are you underestimating my abilities?"
Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Song and Senior Brother Luo exchanged glances, remained silent, and agreed to the matter.
Moreover, Xie Zhou chose to stay at the back only because he wanted to secretly go to another path and lie in ambush at the place where the two powerful figures were fighting, so as to complete the mission and find the so-called treasure.
"Since it's settled then, let's get moving."
"yes…"
"Disciples of Wuyou Pavilion, follow me. Don't panic. When you pass through that place, be sure to protect yourselves and set up a protective barrier around the perimeter to avoid being harmed by the battle's shockwaves."
"The rest of you, take care of yourselves, be careful, and follow us."
"good……"
Soon, several lines formed a single line and headed around that direction.
Xie Zhou, hiding behind, watched as the people in front of him walked further and further away, and then took the opportunity to go alone to the place where the powerful beings were fighting.
After carefully observing the two adults from the bushes, Xie Zhou crouched down and made sure he wasn't discovered before continuing forward.
After completing the mission, we will meet up with Senior Brother Song and the others at the end of this road.
The system used the power of all living beings it had previously obtained to conceal Xie Zhou's aura. Although the strong fluctuations could be felt along the way, the aura was thankfully hidden.
Although some disturbances affected this area, Xie Zhou had fortunately prepared a magical artifact to defend against the attack.
She quietly crept up to the vicinity of the two powerful beings.
Lying on a hillside, Xie Zhou realized that the two powerful figures were fighting over a blood-red pearl.
Suddenly, the blood-red pearl emitted a wave, flashing red light, and the pearl was still trembling violently.
The two powerful figures sensed something was wrong and stopped fighting.
What's going on? Is someone nearby?
The two adults looked in Xie Zhou's direction at the same time.
She saw those huge, copper-bell-sized eyes staring straight at her, and she was almost scared to death. She quickly lowered her body and silently prayed that she would not be discovered. But no matter how she tried to deceive herself, she could still feel the two powerful figures getting closer and closer to her.
An attack struck a large rock in front of Xie Zhou instantly. She quickly dodged, realizing that the two powerful figures had discovered her.
