After experiencing so many things, everyone’s desire to leave this ‘evil demon Island’ became more and more urgent.
Arriving early at the Research Institute meant that he might be able to go home earlier.
On one side was a vicious Wolf that they were unsure of when it would return, and on the other side was a Research Institute that might be able to contact the outside world. Their hope suppressed the fear of the unknown, and everyone wanted to leave this place even more.
“Leave first?”
Zhou Xue Li asked back. There was no displeasure in her tone, instead, there was a hint of joy.
but, it’s not dawn yet. There might be danger on the mountain …
“It might be dangerous to stay here.” Professor Yan said without much emotion. One of the workers who survived said,
“I don’t know when the wolf will come back.”
The wind by the sea was strong, which meant that the smell of blood would spread much faster than everyone had imagined.
Everyone wanted to leave as soon as possible, and the cultivators didn’t object, so Zhou Xue Li readily agreed.
Many of the tents in the camp had been destroyed in the previous attack by the silver-white Wolf. These things were heavy and inconvenient, so they only took the other important things with them.
There was a sense of oppression in the silent atmosphere. There was no way up the mountain, so they could only rely on the team to force a way out.
The mountain wall was overgrown with weeds, and under the moonlight, they swayed with the sea breeze, making a rustling sound. It was dark in the grass, and it was unknown whether there was danger hidden in it.
No one dared to walk in front. At this time, the trial-takers also did not dare to be careless.
After hesitating for a long time, Mr. Zhou came forward to communicate with Wolf one. The two of them whispered for a while, and finally, two bodyguards walked in front. Song qingxiao and number three accompanied Wolf one and another bodyguard on Mr. Zhou’s left and right sides, while number one and number seven were at the back.
Because there was no mountain Road, the road over the mountains was rugged and bumpy.
When the sea breeze blew over, many people’s clothes and hair were blown into a mess, as if they were going to be blown away.
In order to stabilize their bodies, many people subconsciously held onto things with their hands before they dared to move.
Song qingxiao clutched the grass vines tightly. With every step she took, she could hear the soil falling down.
Her clothes were torn and she was sweating profusely. When the wind blew, she felt a chill spread from her back to her limbs.
The sound of people’s breathing and heartbeats could be heard from the surroundings. After an unknown amount of time, the sky began to brighten. After passing through the most precipitous part of the terrain, the road was much easier to walk.
As the sun slowly rose in the East, a glimmer of light appeared. Many people gradually relaxed.
Fortunately, everyone was worried that the giant Wolf would come back and encounter danger, but during the climb, neither of the two worried situations happened.
The sky was completely bright. Song qingxiao estimated that two or three hours had passed, and they were finally reaching the top of the mountain.
When the exhausted crowd saw this scene, they couldn’t help but be invigorated and subconsciously increased their speed.
The peak of the mountain was filled with strange rocks and was covered with weeds that were half the height of a person. Everyone climbed up and sat cross-legged. The wind on the platform was much stronger than the one at the foot of the mountain, and many people’s clothes buzzed.
The bodyguards who went up the mountain first endured their fatigue and roughly scanned the surroundings. After making sure that there were no dangerous creatures on the top of the mountain, they sat down. Those who had exhausted their strength to climb up the mountain lay down on the ground. Other than gasping for breath, they did not even have the strength to move their fingers.
Although the few cultivators were also tired, they were in a much better state than the others.
The four of them sat in different directions and adjusted their breathing. They took out some food and stuffed them into their stomachs to recover their strength.
Mr. Zhou and the others began to distribute the remaining food. The people lying on the grass felt their stomachs squirming more frequently when they heard the sound of the food being torn open.
Amidst the panting sounds, the rumbling sounds of hunger could be heard.
The shortage of food and water had caused many people to not have enough to eat last night.
After running for his life, he had used up a lot of his energy, causing his body to protest even more.
“I can’t…”
Someone lying in the grass mumbled in a self-deprecating tone,”
“I might not be able to leave this place alive.”
His voice was filled with frustration and tears.. At first, everyone was silent, but then someone continued in a soft voice,”
