When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 267 Entering the Mountains

Seeing that his way out was blocked by the immortals, Zhu Chongjiu did not show any signs of tension.

The immortals were also puzzled when they saw this scene.

the reason is simple.

Under normal circumstances, everyone should be hurrying towards the distant mountain range.

But only a few dozen people left at this time; the rest stayed behind with them.

Moreover, these people were all staring at them with hostile eyes.

At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu calmly addressed the immortals, saying, "Your immortal race has been running rampant and domineering in this universe."

Which of those people behind you, which race hasn't been exploited and humiliated by you?

This continent will be your burial ground.

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, the immortals understood the current situation.

When Zhu Chongjiu's entourage was moving among the crowd, they were actually trying to persuade everyone to join forces against their immortal clan.

In the tense atmosphere, one of the leaders of the Immortal Clan said to the crowd, "Aren't you afraid that after we leave, we will report this matter to the Immortal Clan's ancestor?"

And then retaliate against your race?

Humans are a great enemy of our immortal race.

If you're going to dance with him, you'd better think carefully about the consequences.

Just as this immortal clansman finished speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly roared, "Of course we know who Ninth Brother is!"

He is my idol.

My father died at the hands of your immortal clan.

My family used to run a fairly good mining planet.

But your immortal race wants to force you to buy it at a price that's practically free.

My father disagreed, so he was secretly assassinated by your immortal clan.

I can't avenge this grudge myself, but Ninth Brother can avenge it for me.

Immediately after this person finished speaking, someone else chimed in, "Yes."

One of my clan elders was also assassinated by your immortal clan.

Ninth Brother can also avenge me.

Besides, no one can talk about what happened here.

Your threats won't work on us.

Seeing the evenly matched forces, the leaders of the immortal race exchanged glances and slowly led their people to retreat.

Once they were a kilometer away, they turned and ran toward the distant mountains.

Upon seeing this, everyone cheered and jumped for joy.

"See this? This is the first time in my life I've ever seen a member of the Immortal Clan run away out of fear."

Ninth Brother, as long as I get out of here alive, I'll definitely follow you.

Many of the others echoed the man's words, saying similar things.

Zhu Chongjiu waved to the crowd.

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, he spoke up: "Don't worry, everyone, our Ancient God Alliance accepts all races of the universe."

I made that promise to everyone before.

As long as everyone is of one mind with me, we can fight against the Immortal Clan.

The storage ring cannot be opened here.

Once we get out of here, I, Ninth Brother, will give you all the resources I promised, without missing a single one.

Time is of the essence; everyone should head to those mountains for refuge immediately!

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand, and the group followed closely behind the immortals, heading towards the distant mountain range.

Although Zhu Chongjiu's skills allowed him to surpass everyone in a short time.

Even surpassing those immortals ahead.

But he still lagged behind the crowd, to show his determination to protect everyone.

However, this is truly a case of "looking at the mountain but running to death."

They have no concept of time here, but they can see it with the naked eye.

The sky was getting darker and darker.

It was only a moment before nightfall.

As Murong Yu ran, she asked Zhu Chongjiu, "This rat, it did it on purpose."

Although he mentioned more than once that we were pressed for time.

But they just won't mention the mission for this level first.

It made everyone waste their time there.

They're even more ruthless than us unscrupulous merchants.

Upon hearing Murong Yu's complaint, Zhu Chongjiu replied, "I don't want to do that right now."

I'm just concerned about what we'll face next.

The rat senior only said that there were monsters hunting for food at night.

But he didn't say what kind of monster it was.

How strong are they?

We are now mortals who cannot use any magic, even if a monster of a certain level comes along.

All we can do is ask it to eat less.

"Then Ninth Brother, shouldn't we run quickly?"

"Run to the middle of the group; that will greatly increase your chances of survival."

Hu Lie, don't listen to your Ninth Brother's nonsense.

If a high-level monster were to appear, all of us over a thousand would surely die without distinction of who came first.

So it's the same everywhere.

During the three's casual conversation, Zhu Chongjiu saw that the immortals who had run out at the beginning were almost at the foot of the mountain.

However, the sky had now completely darkened.

Fortunately, everyone was physically strong and did not experience exhaustion due to the continuous fast running.

"Everyone, hang in there a little longer. In about ten more minutes, we should be able to fully enter the mountain range."

Just as Zhu Chongjiu was encouraging everyone, they saw the immortals who had already reached the foot of the mountain.

They were caught off guard by a monster that suddenly rushed out from the shadows at the foot of the mountain.

Due to the reduced visibility caused by the approaching darkness, Zhu Chongjiu could not clearly see the number and shapes of the suddenly appearing demonic beasts.

All that could be heard were the roars of the monsters and the cries for help and screams of the people.

He turned to Hu Lie and Murong Yu beside him and solemnly said, "You must stay close to me and not leave my side by even a meter."

We are all just ordinary people now. If we are too far apart, I'm afraid I won't be able to rescue you in time if an emergency occurs.

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's admonition, the two immediately agreed.

At the same time, they all moved closer to Zhu Chongjiu.

Because the immortals at the forefront held back the demonic beasts, Zhu Chongjiu and his group at the rear were temporarily out of danger.

Fifteen minutes later, after a daring but safe run, Zhu Chongjiu and his two companions finally made it into the mountains.

The three did not stop after entering the mountain range.

Instead, they ran deeper into the cave for about half an hour. When Hu Lie discovered a cave entrance, the three of them turned around and entered the cave.

After passing through a dark tunnel about 100 meters long, the three of them were suddenly greeted by a bright light.

Ahead lay a huge cavern.

Moreover, the walls and ceiling of the cave are inlaid with various colored, luminous rocks.

"Oh my god, I'm exhausted!"

I haven't run like this since I was five years old.

"I've realized my true form is that of a demon beast. If I weren't of an ordinary race, I might not have been able to run for such a long time without the support of spiritual power."

When they saw Hu Lie in the cave hall, casually found a flat rock, panting and complaining,

Murong Yu said to Hu Lie, "Little tiger, now is not the time to let your guard down."

It is not yet known whether there are any dangers inside this cave.

Be extra vigilant!

After hearing Murong Yu's warning, Hu Lie reluctantly stood up and said, "Ninth Sister-in-law, didn't that rat already say so?"

Once we reach this mountain range, we'll have a chance to survive.

That proves that the area inside the mountains must be safe, right?

"That rat doesn't seem to be lying, so what's there to worry about?"

Just after Hu Lie finished replying to Murong Yu nonchalantly, Murong Yu looked at Hu Lie with her big, bright eyes and asked him a question.

"Little tiger, what did you just say?"

"I said that the rat wouldn't survive just because it came to this mountain range."

We don't need to be so tense.

Hu Lie thought it was possible that everyone had become mortals and their hearing wasn't as sharp.

He then explained what he had just said to Murong Yu again.

However, Murong Yu quickly retorted to Hu Lie, "No, little tiger."

Not what came after, but what was your very first sentence?

"The first sentence?"

Ninth Sister-in-law?

What's wrong? "

"Little tiger, say it again?"

Seeing that Murong Yu was making him repeat himself over and over again without any explanation, Hu Lie said helplessly to Murong Yu, "What are you doing, Ninth Sister-in-law?"

Is there something wrong with your ears?

"Were we injured in the dark while trying to avoid those monsters?"

Murong Yu did not answer Guan Hulie's questions.

After glancing at Zhu Chongjiu, who had already walked into the distance and was exploring the cave, Hu Lie came to Hu Lie's side.

"Hu Lie, why do you call me Ninth Sister-in-law?"

After Murong Yu asked in a low voice, Hu Lie replied, puzzled, "Aren't you Ninth Brother's lover?"

Since your family is so well-off, is it not wrong for me to call you Ninth Sister-in-law?

"How did you figure out I was your ninth brother's lover?"

Hu Lie took two steps back after hearing Murong Yu's words.

Then, looking at Murong Yu with a hesitant gaze, he said, "Although Ninth Brother tried his best to explain to everyone, anyone with eyes can see that I'm not stupid."

Seeing Murong Yu's expression as if she was about to urinate, Hu Lie said to her somewhat nervously, "Sister-in-law, if you need to relieve yourself, you'll have to go find my brother Jiu to accompany you."

Just like you said.

The situation here is not so clear yet.

It's best not to act alone.

"What!"

Murong Yu replied shyly to Hu Lie, then took two steps forward to Hu Lie's side.

Then she took out a jade pendant of unknown material from her bosom and handed it to Hu Lie.

He then said to him, "Little Tiger, this is a gift from Ninth Sister-in-law to you."

Keep it close to your body.

It might save your life in a dangerous situation!

After saying that, Murong Yu handed the jade pendant to Hu Lie and then skipped and hopped towards Zhu Chongjiu in the distance.

After running only a couple of steps, Murong Yu seemed to have thought of something.

Turning to Hu Lie, he whispered, "By the way, little tiger."

From now on, never call me Ninth Sister-in-law in front of your Ninth Brother.

He casually mentions my name in front of outsiders.

and also.

Remove the character "子".

Just call her Ninth Sister-in-law.

Ninth Sister-in-law looks old!
