Boom boom boom——!
On the snowfield and glacier, the ground continuously trembled, causing some ice layers to crack open, revealing menacing fissures. From the sky, sounds like thunder echoed, prompting the four people around Mu Tianyin to gather once more.
"What’s happening up ahead?" Mu Tianyin asked as he approached.
The four looked bewildered, as they too were unsure of what was going on.
"One of you, go take a look." Mu Tianyin ordered.
Immediately, one of them darted forward. Quickly, he returned with a dramatically changed expression, speaking gravely to Mu Tianyin, "Young Master, for some reason, the exotic beasts in this space have gathered together, aggressively heading towards us. They will be upon us in no time."
Just as he finished speaking, the remaining four saw in the farthest distance a layer of icy snow mist rising from the ground, obscuring the sky and blocking their view.
Numerous fierce exotic beasts charged out of the cold mist, roaring as they came towards them.
The five figures ahead seemed to further provoke them, accelerating their pace.
The densely packed, countless swarm of beasts caused Mu Tianyin and his team to change their expressions simultaneously. Even for them, of the Divine Clan, it would be troublesome to face such a horde.
"Young Master, we should retreat first and not face these beasts head-on. Otherwise, this endless wave of beasts will deplete us." One of Mu Tianyin’s subordinates urged anxiously.
Mu Tianyin’s face was ominously dark, his cold eyes unwaveringly fixated on those beasts, filled with unwillingness. He was so close to obtaining the Divine Strategy, only to be blocked by this group of animals!
Kill—! Kill—! Kill—!
These damned animals, all deserve to be killed! Kill them all!
The desire to kill swirled madly in his mind, but reason told him he couldn’t do it. Otherwise, as his subordinate said, he would exhaust his cultivation and be helpless when facing the enemy again.
With a deep gaze, Mu Tianyin finally gave the order to retreat, "Let’s go."
The four immediately protected Mu Tianyin, quickly retreating.
Their departure further enraged the exotic beasts, who desperately chased after them.
...
Mu Qingge closed her eyes and stood silently for a moment. By her side, the four who had left had reconvened, nervously waiting for Mu Qingge to open her eyes to reveal the outcome of their plan.
After a while, Mu Qingge slowly opened her eyes, a smile involuntarily appearing at the corner of her mouth. "They’ve already left."
This sentence caused everyone’s eyes to spark with excitement.
Mu Chen marveled and saluted Mu Qingge, "Young Master’s wisdom is unparalleled, I am truly in awe!"
Mu Qingge’s smile was enchanting, with her hands behind her back, she replied, "Using strategy is due to insufficient strength. If my power greatly exceeded theirs today, why bother with plans, I would just charge in and finish them off."
Upon hearing this, both Mu Chen and Mu Peng nodded continuously.
The more they interacted with Mu Qingge, the more convinced they were. It’s not just her astonishing abilities, but also her self-reflection and clarity in understanding her strengths and weaknesses, anytime and anywhere.
If such a person cannot take the position of Young Master, they would be the first to object!
"Alright, now that they’re being chased far away by those exotic beasts, let’s head over and make haste to find the Divine Strategy." Mu Qingge waved her sleeve and said to the group.
Mu Tianyin and his group, being chased by exotic beasts, gradually deviated from the location marked on the map as where the Divine Strategy Middle Volume was. Meanwhile, Mu Qingge’s group followed the map’s guidance, continually approaching the area.
By the time they reached the spot where Mu Tianyin’s group had been, it had already returned to tranquility, leaving only some fine cracks in the snowfield.
"Qingge, how about those people now?" Jiang Li asked.
Mu Qingge immediately closed her eyes and searched carefully within the map. It seemed that the map could only show the movements of outsiders like them, but not the exotic beasts living there.
Opening her eyes, she told the four, "It seems they have stopped in the north. I’m not sure if they’ve shaken off the exotic beasts’ pursuit or if they’ve been caught in a battle."
"That’s easy, wait a moment and see. If they remain stationary, they might have been caught. If they continue fleeing, the exotic beasts are still chasing them, and if they return this way, it means they’ve escaped the beasts." Jiang Li said.
Mu Qingge nodded, "Yes, indeed. So, we don’t have much time, everyone make haste."
Her innate advantage over Mu Tianyin was the map in her possession, which allowed her to grasp the overall situation and know their movements. Furthermore, the map had clear markings, guiding them to where to find the Divine Strategy Middle Volume without a needle in a haystack.
This fact, perhaps, not only caught Mu Tianyin but also the two Heavenly Ridge players off-guard.
As Mu Qingge and her group followed the map’s direction to the place where the Divine Strategy Middle Volume was hidden, Mu Tianyin’s side fell into a fierce battle.
They were eventually caught by the exotic beasts, not because their cultivation was lacking, but because during the escape, exotic beasts appeared out of nowhere, launching aerial attacks on them, hindering their steps.
"Damn it! Where did these beasts come from?" one of Mu Tianyin’s subordinates exclaimed as he wiped beast blood off his face after slaying a giant exotic beast.
Previously, the exotic beasts chasing them clearly didn’t have the ability to fly!
"Perhaps those on the ground chasing us attracted them." Another person speculated solemnly, staying close.
The brief exchange was immediately interrupted by the beasts’ attacks.
The five of them were engulfed in the swarm, able only to fight back with all their might.
The attacks they faced came not only from the ground but also from stealthy aerial assaults.
"Ah—!" Suddenly, a scream rang out.
Mu Tianyin looked up, seeing one of his subordinates being grabbed by a giant exotic beast in flight, lifted into the air. Elsewhere, this might not have been much, but in this strange space, they lost the ability to fly, and if dropped from such heights, their fate would be grim...
