Chapter 152: Chapter 101: Lin Jingzhu’s Hand Warmer! Meeting an Old Acquaintance Again! (6K)_2

"What’s going on? Where are the others from Group Four?"

Li Siya asked.

A bitter expression crossed Yu Fei’s face, and he said, "We were secretly tracking the Demon Clan, waiting for support, but they discovered us and launched an ambush."

"The members of the Demon Clan are too strong, we are no match for them."

"I fought my way out at the risk of my life, but the others...they were all taken away by the Demon Creatures."

Everyone’s faces turned very grim upon hearing this.

Given the bloodthirsty and ferocious nature of the Demon Clan, the chances were slim for the members of Group Four...

Li Siya asked, "Do you know where those Demon Creatures have gone?"

With difficulty, Yu Fei extended his hand and took out a compass from his chest, answering, "I managed to mark one of the Demon Clan...at least two of them are of the ’Chinese Zodiac Branches’ rank, and there’s another Demon Creature with tremendous strength, which I suspect is one of the ’Heavenly Stems.’"

Li Siya took the compass from him, and the needle pointed northeast.

"Rest well, leave the rest to us."

He ordered a priest to escort Yu Fei down the mountain and then continued deeper into the mountain, following the compass’s guidance.

After streaking through the air for dozens of miles, Li Siya suddenly halted, frowning slightly.

The needle on the compass was jumping erratically, as if being interfered with by something.

"We’re not sure of the direction, we must split up and move forward...groups of two, five hundred yards apart, if anything happens, signal with the insignia immediately."

Li Siya methodically made arrangements and then turned to Chen Mo, "Brother Chen, you and Lin Catcher..."

Lin Jingzhu interrupted, "I’ll be in a group with Mr. Chen."

Chen Mo glanced at her and said, "You’re not going to have an outbreak of Chill Toxin midway, right? I don’t want to have to carry a block of ice."

Lin Jingzhu shook her head, "Don’t worry, I won’t joke with my own life...and I haven’t used up the Hand Warmer you gave me last night yet."

"..."

Chen Mo’s expression paused for a moment, recalling the scene he had witnessed last night.

Having suffered from Chill Toxin since childhood, it was hard to imagine how Lin Jingzhu had managed to survive all these years... If it were someone else, they might not even have the courage to continue living, and yet she seemed so carefree...

"Let’s go."

The two took off deeper into the dense forest.

The deeper they went into the mountain, the darker the visibility became.

Giant ancient trees loomed, branches and leaves layered upon one another; sunlight squeezed through the leaves, scattering a mottled play of light and shadow on the ground.

Mist pervaded all around, as if shrouding everything in a hazy veil, abruptly reducing visibility.

Chen Mo expanded his perception, his brows deeply furrowed, his Divine Sense range severely constrained by the mist—intriguingly peculiar...

Suddenly, he came to a stop.

Lin Jingzhu, who was following, nearly collided into him.

"Mr. Chen, what’s wrong?" Lin Jingzhu asked.

Chen Mo looked around and said gravely, "Don’t you think it’s too quiet here?"

Lin Jingzhu suddenly realized.

There were no sounds of insects or birds, nor signs of other people, ominously silent as a grave.

Ice formed beneath her feet as she leaped into the air, attempting to observe from above.

However, just as she jumped, a huge crack appeared on a tree behind her, as if it was mocking with a smile, and a branch as thick as an arm lashed out viciously at her!

?!

Lin Jingzhu reacted swiftly, twisting her body mid-air; the branch grazed her nose.

She shook her Black Gold Long Stick, which suddenly extended, plunging into the crack!

Boom!
