I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Seeing Mingchuan's confident demeanor, Jinman couldn't help but smile a little more.

The more confident Mingchuan was in his arrangements, the more it proved that their alliance was absolutely secure.

In this way, if Jinman needs Mingchuan in the future, everything will go smoothly.

Thinking of this, Jinman's touch on the kitten's chin became even gentler.

……

Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, Sulfur Region.

Having temporarily driven back the bloodthirsty bats, Ji Zhou and Ye Chuhan dared not relax their guard in the slightest and remained highly vigilant.

The enemy lurking in the shadows is like a venomous snake, never giving up easily.

"Those arrows from the cold... were aimed at us with deadly precision." Ye Chuhan's face was grim as he carefully examined his surroundings, trying to find any clues.

Jizhou crouched down, picking up a few almost imperceptible specks of dust with faint spiritual energy fluctuations between his fingertips, his eyes cold.

"They retreated, but they didn't go far. Are they waiting for a better opportunity, or... planning to use more insidious methods?"

He stood up and looked around the sulfurous area.

This place is safe for now, but it's not a place to stay for long.

Inhaling sulfurous fumes in the air for extended periods is harmful to health, and the fumes are too conspicuous, making one an easy target for others.

“We can’t stay here forever,” Jizhou said in a deep voice. “We must leave as soon as possible and take control!”

"Turning the tables?" Ye Chuhan was taken aback. "You mean..."

"They want to wear us down, so we'll lure them out, or... force them to show themselves!"

A fierce glint flashed in Ji Zhou's eyes. "Since they like to hide in the shadows and make small moves, then we'll make a bigger commotion and see how they can hide then!"

His gaze fell on the bubbling lava pool, and a bold plan gradually took shape in his mind.

"Chu Han, do you still have any talismans that can produce a loud noise or a strong spiritual energy fluctuation? Like... a Flame Explosion Talisman or something?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chuhan's eyes lit up, and he immediately began rummaging through his storage bag: "There are! There are still a few Thunder Talismans that my father gave me. They're quite powerful, and they make a huge commotion! You mean..."

Ji Zhou's lips curled into a cold smile: "That's right. Let's give them a good scare! And while we're at it, let's see if we can alert some of the more enthusiastic masters in this Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts."

He planned to use the Thunder Talisman to create a massive explosion and spiritual energy fluctuations, both to intimidate the enemies lurking in the shadows and to disrupt their rhythm.

On the other hand, such a big commotion could attract even more powerful beings in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts. When things get chaotic, they might be able to take advantage of the situation or even cause trouble for Luo Yang and his group!

This is a risky move, but it's also the fastest way to break the current passive situation!

Looking at Ji Zhou's determined eyes, Ye Chuhan gritted her teeth and stuffed three purple talismans engraved with intricate lightning patterns into Ji Zhou's hand.

"Here you go! Use it carefully, this thing is really powerful!"

Jizhou took the Thunder Talisman, felt the violent thunder power contained within it, and nodded.

He gestured for Ye Chuhan to retreat behind a relatively solid rock for protection, while he took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on a protruding rock wall above the side of the lava pool.

He needs to maximize the noise and impact of the explosion!

With wind-elemental spiritual energy circulating within him, Ji Zhou moved like lightning, suddenly rushing towards the rock wall!

At the moment of approach, he slammed a Thunderclap Talisman onto the rock wall and infused it with a wisp of spiritual power to activate it instantly!

At the same time, the wind spirit power beneath his feet flashed, and he turned back at top speed, rushing towards the cover where Ye Chuhan was!

"Boom——!!!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, as if a thunderbolt from the heavens had struck the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts!

Purple lightning instantly engulfed the rock wall, and the violent lightning power, carrying countless shattered stones, swept outwards like a raging sea!

The massive shockwave even caused the nearby lava pool to churn violently, splashing lava waves several meters high!

The entire sulfurous area shook violently, and smoke and dust mixed with the smell of sulfur shot into the sky!

This sudden and massive explosion not only caused Luo Yang and his men, who were hiding in the shadows and preparing to launch their next sneak attack, to change their expressions drastically, but also left them caught off guard, their blood surging and their ears ringing.

Even more terrifying, just as Jizhou had predicted—

"Roar--!!!"

"Ouch——!"

"Hiss—!"

Deep within the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, even more terrifying and violent roars came from several directions almost simultaneously!

The voice was filled with anger at being disturbed and bloodthirsty killing intent!

Clearly, this huge commotion successfully angered some powerful beings that were either dormant or lying in wait!

Chaos arrived as expected!

"Damn it! Are they insane?!"

Luo Yang was both shocked and furious. He had never expected that Ji Zhou would be so decisive and ruthless, going so far as to make such a commotion to break the deadlock!

At this moment, Ji Zhou and Ye Chuhan, who were hiding behind the rocks, were also experiencing some ringing in their ears from the aftershocks of the explosion, but their eyes were shining with excitement.

"The opportunity has arrived! Let's go!"

Ji Zhou smiled smugly, gave a low shout, pulled Ye Chuhan up, and while the smoke and dust from the explosion had not yet dissipated and the surrounding monsters were in a state of chaos, he chose a path slightly off from the direction from which the beast roars came, increased his speed to the extreme, and sped away like two ghosts!

Their target was the core area of ​​the unusual and missing persons zone mentioned in the mission!

The two pushed their speed to the limit, like two blurry green shadows, weaving through the edge of the beast horde that was briefly thrown into chaos and panic by the explosion.

All around were angry or terrified roars of beasts, and the ground trembled from time to time, indicating that there was more than one powerful being that had been alerted.

"Damn, that was a really ruthless move! You've really stirred up a hornet's nest!" Ye Chuhan complained as he ran, but his tone was filled with excitement.

This chaotic situation presents the perfect opportunity to escape the watchful eyes of lurking enemies.

Jizhou had sharp eyes and full spiritual senses. He not only had to avoid the low- to mid-level demonic beasts that were startled and scattered in all directions, but also had to be constantly aware of any deadly threats that might appear from any direction.

He chose a route that avoided the direction with the densest roars and the most terrifying aura, meandering towards the core area marked on the map.

However, Luo Yang and his companions were experienced and likely had a deeper understanding of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

After the initial shock, Luo Yang quickly deduced the intentions of Ji Zhou and the other man.

"That damned Jizhou, no wonder he's been following Mingchuan around for so long, he's got so many cunning tricks up his sleeve!"

"But you think you can just slip away from me so easily? Not so easy!"

Luo Yang's face was grim. He shouted to his subordinates, "Follow them! Be careful to avoid those big guys that have been alerted! This is our best chance. While they are entangled with the demonic beasts or their spiritual energy is depleted, we will deliver a fatal blow!"
