Everyone felt a chill, and goosebumps involuntarily rose on their skin.
"Lie down!"
Ma Yuanbai gave a low shout, and everyone quickly lay down on the ground.
Looking up, I could see the dark figure appearing and disappearing in the clouds.
It could be vaguely discerned that it was an extremely large being.
It swiftly passed through the dark clouds, accompanied by a surge of intense energy.
"What is that?" Sun Hao exclaimed in surprise, his voice trembling slightly.
"I can't see clearly, but it's definitely not simple." Ma Yuanbai stared intently at the sky, his brows furrowed.
He could deeply feel that powerful and mysterious threat, and an indescribable unease welled up inside him.
Li Yu also felt that familiar yet oppressive aura; he had seen this huge black shadow once before.
As the dark figure gradually disappeared into the deepest part of the clouds, the chilling sense of danger slowly dissipated from everyone's hearts.
"That's terrifying, the aura alone is so strong."
The Rock Awakener spoke with lingering fear and a tense expression.
"Yeah, in front of that beast just now, I felt like a little chick."
Even Zhao Xiong, who was usually very bold, spoke weakly at this moment.
"Fortunately, they weren't coming for us."
That overwhelming suppressive force was enough to demonstrate the vast difference between them and the strange beasts in the sky.
After the dark shadow flew by, the strange beasts in Xirong Mountain seemed to be greatly frightened and all hid away.
The group continued climbing for another hour, and surprisingly, nothing unexpected happened during this time; the climb went unexpectedly smoothly.
Ma Yuanbai walked at the front of the group, carefully discerning the direction of their advance.
"We're almost there, everyone give it your all."
Ma Yuanbai himself never expected to be so lucky.
Otherwise, given the number of strange beasts in Xirong Mountain, they would never have been able to arrive here so quickly.
We climbed for a long time.
Even though everyone was an awakened being, they were all panting heavily at this moment.
"This mountain is really high."
Zhao Xiong wiped his face, not knowing whether it was sweat or rainwater.
"I can't even climb anymore," Sun Hao said, panting heavily.
His superpower didn't increase his physical strength to begin with; at this moment, he was only struggling through with unwavering perseverance.
The group continued forward, seizing this rare opportunity and not daring to linger for even a moment.
Li Yu felt okay, but Fu Xiyao was panting and trying hard to keep up with the group.
At this moment, the vortex in Li Yu's abdomen was spinning non-stop.
[Quivet LV8: Capacity 90, Reload Speed +8, Stability +25%]
Li Yu glanced at it and saw that the improvement was not significant; the upgrade could not be stopped for even a moment.
At that very moment.
Fu Xiyao's eyes suddenly widened, and she hurriedly reminded Li Yu:
There are people ahead, a lot of people.
"Wait a minute!" Li Yu called out to everyone without hesitation.
Everyone immediately stopped and remained motionless.
They all believed Li Yu's words, but at the same time, they were afraid that their actions would disturb some kind of strange beast lurking in the shadows.
“It’s not a strange beast,” Li Yu explained, and everyone then started moving again.
Ma Yuanbai turned around and asked:
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Li Yu looked at Fu Xiyao, signaling with her eyes that she could tell her what she had discovered.
“There are two groups of people ahead, one of whom is from the Zhang family’s safe zone,” Fu Xiyao said.
"What?!" Ma Yuanbai was shocked upon hearing this.
He never expected that the people from Zhangjia Safe Zone would actually escape to the mountains.
Moreover, these scavengers have a long-standing grudge against the safe zone, and if they were to meet, nothing good would happen.
Ma Yuanbai naturally believed Fu Xiyao's words.
He had guessed that Fu Xiyao must have awakened a superpower, but he didn't expect that her superpower was the same as Sun Hao's—a perception-type ability.
Ma Yuanbai glanced at Sun Hao's shocked expression and thought to himself that Fu Xiyao's ability to detect objects was probably even farther than Sun Hao's.
Upon hearing this, Sun Hao immediately lay down on the ground and listened attentively.
Even at the farthest distance his ability could cover, he heard no sound.
Sun Hao looked at Fu Xiyao in surprise, not expecting that the woman next to Li Yu had a superpower with a range that was even farther than his.
Ma Yuanbai remained silent for a moment, then asked with a solemn expression.
Do you know who the other group is?
Fu Xiyao checked carefully again before saying, "Judging from their appearance, they are people from the shelter."
Ma Yuanbai's expression suddenly changed: "Is it the Holy Son?"
"I don't know..." Fu Xiyao couldn't confirm whether he was the Holy Son.
Because the rain had already disappeared before it hit the person.
Upon hearing this news, everyone's expression changed slightly.
They were all scavengers from the Black Mountain, and naturally harbored hatred towards the safe zone.
Unexpectedly, people from the Black Mountain safe zone and the shelter came here.
"What should we do?" Sun Hao asked Ma Yuanbai.
Looking at the distant mountains, Ma Yuanbai knew that the path ahead was the only way to reach the summit, and also the fastest route to the top.
If you choose another route up the mountain now, you'll have to take a long detour.
At that time, the strange beasts in the mountains may reappear, making it even more troublesome to go up the mountain.
Thinking of this, Ma Yuanbai quickly made a decision:
"Let's get a little closer, or better yet, avoid it."
"If we can't avoid it, we'll change our route."
