When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 268 The Appearance of the Little Ones

As Zhu Chongjiu explored and surveyed the area, they found themselves in a circular cavern of approximately 10,000 square meters.

The cave ceiling is arched.

The highest point is about thirty or forty meters high.

Both the ground and the cave walls were relatively smooth.

Furthermore, some associated minerals on the cave walls were emitting a faint glow.

Murong Yu, who had just finished whispering in Hu Lie's ear, also came to Zhu Chongjiu's side.

"Ninth Brother, have you found anything?"

Upon hearing Murong Yu's question, Zhu Chongjiu turned and replied, "Not yet."

This should be a naturally formed cavern.

And the only exit is the one we just came in through.

As for why the rat said that there was a chance of survival after reaching the mountains?

I don't have any guesses yet.

As the two were talking, Hu Lie came up behind them.

At the same time, he said to Zhu Chongjiu, "Ninth Brother, why bother with that?"

Judging from what the rat said, the monsters outside probably only come out to hunt at night.

"We just need to stay in this cave until dawn, right?"

"Tiger Fierce".

Things aren't as simple as you think.

The rat's exact words were, "Only by entering this mountain range before dark will there be a chance of survival."

It's possible, not absolute.

Therefore, even if we enter this mountain range, there will definitely be some unknown dangers waiting for us.

Just as Zhu Chongjiu finished explaining to Hu Lie, Murong Yu gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "And that old man, what's his name, Rat."

He only announced the start of this stage.

They didn't say anything else.

Now, none of us know how to get past this hurdle.

After letting out a soft groan and swaying her leg, Murong Yu muttered, "The thing I hate most in my life is rats."

"Little girl, it's a bad habit to talk behind people's backs."

You must change that in the future!

Startled by the sudden sound, Zhu Chongjiu and the other two immediately turned their backs to each other.

It looked around and assumed a defensive posture.

At the same time, as expected of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Murong Yu immediately apologized, saying, "Senior Rat, the reason why I hate rats is not because I really hate them, but because I am afraid of them."

When I was little, I was bitten by a rat.

I humbly request that you, sir, be forgiving and not hold my words against me.

"Little girl, you're quite the talker!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the rat senior was seen slowly walking into the cave hall from the dark entrance.

When Murong Yu saw the person who came, she wanted to defend him some more, but the rat waved his hand to interrupt her and said, "Girl, you don't need to say anything more."

I'm here to see him.

After saying that, the rat pointed at Zhu Chongjiu.

When Zhu Chongjiu heard that the rat had come looking for him, he had a bad feeling.

However, he calmly cupped his hands and asked, "Senior Rat, what brings you here?"

"Alright, stop acting with me."

"You actually managed to bring people in; this is unprecedented in the millions of years since the ancient god's ruins continent was created."

Seeing that the rat opposite him had already seen through the scene inside his dantian, Zhu Chongjiu was not too surprised.

After all, even Senior Xuanzhen and Senior Muzu could see through his dantian, let alone this incredibly mysterious rat in front of him.

Moreover, according to the words the rat had previously said to Zhu Chongjiu, it implied that this continent was created by someone else.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu quickly stepped forward and bowed to the rat...!

However, the rat interrupted him before he could speak and continued, "You don't need to rush."

Since you managed to evade the Void Ship's investigation, you've passed this hurdle.

But the million-year-old rule that only one person can board a ship with one ticket cannot be broken.

Therefore, I have decided that the difficulty of your game will be doubled.

Human youth, work hard!

Seeing that the rat was about to leave after saying that, Hu Lie, remembering his ninth sister-in-law's earlier complaint, quickly said, "Senior, you haven't told us about this level yet...!"

Before Hu Lie could finish speaking, the rat in front of Zhu Chongjiu vanished into thin air.

Just a few breaths after the rat left, Zhu Chongjiu turned around and looked at Murong Yu and Hu Lie behind him, about to speak.

Murong Yu spoke up first, saying to him, "Ninth Brother, I know what you're going to say."

But don't worry, I'll still follow you.

Even if I can't necessarily help you in any way, I can guarantee I won't hold you back.

Hearing Murong Yu's words, Hu Lie, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded and said, "What are you two talking about?"

Please don't play dumb, okay?

"Hu Lie, you heard what the rat said to me just now too."

My human race will be twice as difficult.

Moreover, the exact number of times it is multiplied is unknown.

Therefore, if you follow me, the road ahead will be very difficult.

There is even a possibility of death.

so……!"

When Zhu Chongjiu earnestly tried to persuade Hu Lie, Hu Lie impatiently interrupted him, saying, "Hey!"

I thought it was something serious.

You've just become brothers with me, and now that disaster is upon us, you're going to run away from me? You really underestimate me, Hu Lie!

Besides, if my ninth sister-in-law, a woman, can have such a broad mind and magnanimous spirit, how could I, Hu Lie, possibly...!

When Hu Lie got to this point, it was as if he realized he had said something wrong.

Suddenly, he reached out and covered his mouth with both hands.

Zhu Chongjiu looked at Hu Lie, who was pretending to be stupid and dazed, and then glanced at Murong Yu, who was shy and embarrassed, before sighing and then walking away to the side.

Zhu Chongjiu, who had come to the side, clasped his hands together and then slightly raised them to the level of his lower abdomen.

Draw your inner energy into your dantian.

When the internal energy merged into the dantian and reached a critical point, Zhu Chongjiu shouted "Open!"

A white light suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Chongjiu.

The moment the white light appeared, Hu Lie and Murong Yu in the distance were confused when the white light dissipated.

Five figures appeared before Zhu Chongjiu.

"Ninth Brother, where is this?"

It looks so unique!

Wait, that's not right.

Why has all my spiritual power disappeared?

"Blackie, Bear, Little Lei, Little Tu, do you still have your spiritual power?"

Little Jin, who had just emerged from Zhu Chongjiu's dantian, hadn't even had a chance to breathe in the air of this continent before exclaiming in surprise and asking about the current situation of the other little ones.

Under the bewildered gazes of the children, Zhu Chongjiu explained the current situation to them.

After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's explanation, Xiao Jin said nonchalantly, "Hey!"

I thought it was something serious.

So what if you don't have spiritual power?

With my Geng Metal constitution, who can do anything to me?

After saying that, he punched himself hard in the body.

However, something unexpected happened at this point.

Xiao Jin punched himself hard and cried out in pain.

While crying out in pain, he muttered to himself, "How could this be? How can my body be no different from that of an ordinary person now?"

"I am a spirit of the elements, a being of the laws! Is it possible that the laws here can be transformed?"

Seeing Xiao Jin rolling around on the ground, Zhu Chongjiu said helplessly to him, "Alright, get up quickly."

I just told you, but you just wouldn't believe me.

"If it didn't have some ability, would it still be called a continent of ancient god ruins?"

Just as Xiao Jin was acting silly, Hu Lie and Murong Yu, looking surprised, finally arrived at Zhu Chongjiu's side.

"Ninth Brother, I still don't quite understand what that rat was saying."

Now I understand.

You should be punished!
