I, Suiren, will teach Ziyi how to make stockings.

In the border area between the wild beasts and the alien races, everyone had been traveling for many days and was completely unaware of the encirclement from the outside world.

In order to avoid being hunted down, they did not dare to stop for a moment and ran as fast as they could into the depths of the forest.

Even if you climb to a high place and look out, all you can see is the endless green forest.

"We have been traveling for such a long time, and they don't know our exact direction. They probably won't be able to catch up with us, right?" Huang Long said breathlessly.

"Yes, the distance we have run along the way may be enough to sustain us until His Majesty wakes up!" Jade Ding Zhenren echoed, his breathing also unstable.

The speed of the Half-Step Lords was terrifying. To prevent the trailing disciples from falling behind, Huang Long, Jade Ding Zhenren, and other Half-Step Lords unleashed their own domain power, enveloping everyone within it and forcibly altering the laws within their domains, thereby significantly increasing their speed. However, this approach consumed immense energy. Maintaining domain power for extended periods was simply too much for those who had just reached the Half-Step Lord realm. Even the relatively powerful Jade Ding Zhenren and Huang Long were gradually showing signs of exhaustion.

Ming Wang turned around, looked at the exhausted faces of the crowd, and said, "Everyone, stop and recover for a while, we have to continue our journey!"

Upon hearing this, everyone plopped down on the wet ground. This place never saw sunlight year-round, and the air was thick with the stench of decay.

Everyone was already exhausted and now they were sitting on the ground gasping for breath. Some people even couldn't help but retching because they couldn't adapt to the smell.

"What a pity! All the pills we have have been refined and integrated into the Tower of Babel. Otherwise, we could rely on pills to replenish our strength." Someone from Honghuang City complained helplessly.

At this time, people no longer differentiated between the ferocious beast tribe and the alien tribes, and everyone sat in a staggered manner.

"So your Tower of Babel is also constructed in this way. The original source of our temple's dominance was swallowed by the Lord Beast Emperor. The reason we can continue to cultivate now is because the resources of our ferocious beast tribe have been refined and put into it by the Lord Beast Emperor." A member of the ferocious beast tribe spoke up in the crowd.

"Really? There's still the power of time and space in the Tower of Babel, which can..."

"Yes, the situation here is similar..."

In the pitch darkness, the crowd couldn't see each other's faces, so they chatted away, one after another. No one knew who had taken over their words, nor who would say the next. But this didn't stop them from occasionally laughing during the conversation.

The Beast Emperor and other high-ranking officials who were half a step away from being masters sat together, but it was unusually quiet. No one spoke, as if they were all quietly listening to the lively conversation between the ferocious beast tribe and the alien tribes. The sadness and despair that had shrouded their hearts before seemed to have quietly dissipated.

Suddenly, the atmosphere around them grew increasingly lively. Ming Wang, also in the darkness, fell into a dazed silence.

"What should we do next?" Suddenly, someone broke the silence.

Huang Long lay on the ground. His earth vein form allowed him to maintain close contact with the earth, allowing him to recover his strength more quickly. Everyone pondered this question, but chose to remain silent. After all, there seemed to be no other option but to continue dodging, so no one dared to express their opinions.

Finally, Shen Wancai said, "I don't think it's a solution to continue like this.

I don't know when His Majesty will wake up. The murder of the eight disciples will be discovered sooner or later. Maybe the outside world has already begun a large-scale arrest operation against us.

If only a few people escaped, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for them to find us.

But now that there are so many of us moving together, our speed is too slow and our targets are too big, so we will be easily caught up."

Everyone knew what Shen Wancai was talking about.

But now that things had come to this, what else could he do? Was he supposed to abandon the others and escape alone? This was obviously impossible, and no one present would agree to it.

"You mean, we should run away separately?" Lu Xiaodie was clever and expressed her guess immediately.

"No, escaping separately is absolutely not an option." The Beast Emperor immediately rejected the proposal.

Shen Wancai continued, "Separately escaping is naturally impossible. Once separated, how far can we get? Although there are many Half-Step Lords among us, there are also those below the Half-Step Lord realm. Escaping separately is no different from abandoning them."

"Then what do you mean?" Everyone turned their eyes to Shen Wancai.

Shen Wancai was silent for a long time. He looked as if he neither dared to speak nor wanted to speak, and he was very conflicted inside.

"Hurry up and tell me..."

"Yeah, stop keeping us in suspense and just say it directly." Everyone urged anxiously.

"Judging from the current situation, if we want to ensure that we are not discovered, someone must lead away those who are chasing us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stood there in a daze, as if they were frozen in place.

Lure those people away? They must be being hunted down by the experts in the core area.

As soon as Ye Chongren fell unconscious, their strength could not be gathered and they were no match for him at all.

Although they may have an advantage in quantity, the gap between the two sides in quality is too big.

Moreover, up to now, the other party seems to have not used some of the terrifying means in the core area, such as Jiang Qisha's Killing God Domain, Heavenly Punishment Profound Art, etc.

In other words, those who try to lure the enemy away are doomed to never return. They will become death warriors, sacrificing their own lives to buy time for everyone else to escape.

Everyone present has the courage to face death head-on, but when it comes to facing death, who is willing to die voluntarily?

The atmosphere fell into dead silence again.

Everyone gradually understood why Shen Wancai was so hesitant just now, because no matter who finally completed the task, it would mean a dead end for that person, which was undoubtedly unfair.

Among the people present, there may be some who are willing to entrust their lives and deaths to their companions, but there are also some whose feelings and relationships with everyone have not yet reached that level.

Moreover, no one can avoid having a mentality: If I don’t go…someone else will go.

However, this mentality goes against everyone's psychological bottom line. Everyone will bury it deep in their hearts and even deliberately act contrary to it.

However, this did not prevent this thought from quietly growing in my heart. After all, everyone has such thoughts, no one is an exception.

"Hehe... maybe... the situation isn't as bad as I thought. Let's not dwell on it for now and continue on our journey. Maybe Your Majesty will wake up tomorrow!"

Everyone dispersed in silence. Some sat alone, thinking silently, while others gathered in groups of two or three, chatting in low voices.

But the voices of conversation were extremely faint. Gradually, the crowd's discussions became quieter and quieter. Everyone had exhausted their strength and stopped talking. Instead, they focused on practicing the skills to restore their strength.
