Chapter 74: Peril in the Mountains

  Zi Yue coldly glanced around at the several burly men, and from their physique, it was clear that they were not ordinary. However, in Zi Yue's eyes, they were also not worth taking seriously. The only problem was that Zi Yue's lower leg had suffered a minor injury, causing some pain when moving. Those people noticed the wound on Zi Yue's leg and pounced, but Zi Yue was not afraid at all, as her previous training had not been in vain.

  Zi Yue was fiercely fighting the black-clothed man in the middle, who had already gained the upper hand. Suddenly, she felt a chill on her back and quickly turned around to see another black-clothed man swinging a thick wooden stick at her. Zi Yue dodged swiftly, avoiding the fatal blow. Fortunately, her senses were extremely sharp; otherwise, she would have certainly met her demise in this desolate mountain wilderness.

  Zi Yue glanced at her watch on her wrist, there were still three minutes left, she couldn't make it, Zi Yue thought, thinking of how to quickly escape, this wasn't going to work. She dodged another attack from a black-clad man and turned to run down the mountain. The five black-clad men behind saw that Zi Yue wanted to escape and immediately chased after her. Relying on her strong sense of direction, Zi Yue ran down the mountain.

  Before long, Ziyue had run a good distance ahead of the man in black and was still full of confidence. Suddenly, Ziyue stopped in her tracks, and the road ahead of her split into four paths. Ziyue knew that only one path was safe, and the other three could lead to death. Ziyue stood still, she had no time to think anymore, she closed her eyes and ran towards the small path on the far right, relying on her instincts. She had no time to think anymore, the people behind her were hot on her heels.

  Zi Yue felt like she had never been so desperate before, and yet she still had to escape from a group of people she didn't even take seriously. Her anger was written all over her face, but calmness still suppressed the rage in her heart. Zi Yue looked back, and that group of black-clad men had already vanished into thin air. Zi Yue admitted that the terrain here was indeed complex enough; once you walked in, it would be a miracle to find your way out again. No wonder those people had managed to lose her.

  Zi Yue glanced at her watch, fifteen minutes had already passed without a trace, she knew the team had taken action, and she couldn't care less about catching up with them, all she wanted was to leave this haunted place as soon as possible. However, she found that no matter how she walked, it seemed like she was always circling back to the same spot. Zi Yue's leg injury had become even more severe, those withered vines slashing mercilessly at her legs, the bloodstains evoking a pang of sympathy.

  It's really a case of "when it rains, it pours". The sky was filled with rain, pouring down on Ziyue's body in a steady beat. Ziyue felt herself becoming even heavier, but she persisted in walking out of this desolate forest. However, the rain kept getting heavier and heavier, and Ziyue's wound had already split open, with blood seeping out and being washed away by the rainwater. Ziyue didn't look at it, continuing to walk forward instead.

  Zi Yue felt that everything in front of her was blurry, the trees around her seemed to be swaying from side to side, the rain hit Zi Yue's body, her clothes stuck to her skin, and she couldn't help but shiver. She felt hot all over her body, wanting to sleep, sleep forever.

  "Little moon, little moon, where are you..." A familiar voice floated from afar, it was Ling! 15 minutes had passed and he still hadn't seen Ziyue, his heart began to feel uneasy. He ran through the entire group but couldn't find her figure, his anxiety growing as he darted through the crowd. The class leader saw him return alone, while Ziyue hadn't come back, looking puzzled, walked up to him, "Ling young master, weren't you discussing something with Ziyue in the rear mountain? Why have only you returned?"

  "What did you say?!" Ling looked at her class advisor in disbelief.

  "Didn't Miss Lulu say so?" the class leader said unintentionally. Ling immediately rushed out of the crowd and ran towards the back mountain, leaving behind a somewhat puzzled class leader, "Young Master Ling, you have to come back quickly......" Ling didn't care about the shouting voices behind him, and rushed forward, Zi Yue, you must be fine!
