In Section Nine, everyone looked ashamed, and no one dared to contradict.
There were mountain roads all along the way to Ancient Gods Mountain.
It was pitch-dark in the sky. The group of nine strode forward like shooting stars. A five kilometres journey wasn't a long one for them. They travelled at full speed and arrived at the foot of Ancient Gods Mountain within 18 minutes.
Along the way, Henry and others did not see the old monster.
"No, that's not right."
Gardiner shook his head and said, "I heard from them that the old monster set out half an hour earlier than us. He has four hundred children with him, so he can't be too fast. We didn't see any footprints on the way. The old monster didn't take this road at all. He has another way into Ancient Gods Mountain."
"Yes."
Henry nodded and looked at the mountain in front of him with a frown. "Since the abnormality of the Ancient Gods Mountain was caused by the old monster, he naturally knows what is inside. No matter what, we have to go up."
The so-called Ancient Gods Mountain was not a single mountain, but a continuous mountain range. Through the moonlight, one could see that on the mountainside of the Ancient Gods Mountain, there were vague statues of gods.
Originally, the people of Antiquity Country had constructed a staircase that led directly to the top of the mountain and extended to the front of every temple. However, some time ago, the divine thunder fell from the sky and smashed those staircases into pieces. Now, they could only climb up the mountain.
As soon as Henry and the other eight people stepped into the Ancient Gods Mountain.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
With a loud bang, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. Then, the continuous rain poured down. The extent of the rain's praise was even enough to block people's sight.
"This..." One of the nine people looked back and found that everything was the same as usual and that the torrential rain only came out of the Ancient Gods Mountain.
This strange scene made everyone have a bad feeling in their hearts.
Due to the heavy rain, the mountain road suddenly became muddy. Although Henry and Gardiner had excellent strength and were not affected, the other seven team members were not as powerful as them, so it was particularly difficult for them to move forward on this muddy mountain road.
Strange stones and dense vegetation grew on Ancient Gods Mountain.
It took them half an hour to get to the mountainside.
"Let's take the shelter here."
They saw a statue. It had been sculpted a long time ago, and now it had been beaten badly by the wind and frost. Plus, the sky was dark and heavy rain poured down, so they couldn't see the appearance of the statue.
It was like being consecrated in the body of a concave mountain. They hid by the statue's side, just enough to shield them from the rain.
The rain was too heavy, and when they reached the mountainside, they could clearly sense that the wild wind was wreaking havoc. A huge rock began to move, and it rolled down from the mountain. Passing by the group of people, the seven squadmates were filled with terror. If these stones were aimed at them, they would find it hard to hide halfway up the muddy mountain.
"Something's not right."
Henry frowned.
"Your Majesty, everything is normal."
A member of the Section Nine spoke. Since they knew Henry's identity, they had been particularly respectful to him. Although Henry also told them that he was no longer the King of Hell, they still called him king.
"It's because it's too normal."
Gardiner said, "In such a normal situation, why did the two teams lose contact?"
"If they can't use communication tools, are they also be unable to use their legs?"
Gardiner said as he patted the raindrops on his body.
Seeing Gardiner's action, Henry suddenly froze there.
"Why are you looking at me?
"Is there a ghost behind me?"
"I'm warning you, it's late at night and we are on the mountain again. Don't mess around."
Gardiner stared at Henry with a strange look.
