“You… you fucking…”

Chu Tianqiu felt that he had now completely enraged Xiao Ran. All he could do now was respond to each move as it came, not knowing just how strong Yun Yao’s “luck” was today.

Could it actually make a “Divine Beast” voluntarily avoid battle under these circumstances?

“Damn it…” Xiao Ran retreated several steps backward, her back directly pressing against the wall. “Don’t gouge out my eyeball… If you gouge it out, how am I supposed to report back to Qinglong… You’re really more trouble than you’re worth…”

“Hm?” Chu Tianqiu showed a puzzled expression on his face. “That’s a bit absurd to say. Aren’t we supposed to be enemies? You’re a ‘Divine Beast,’ I’m a rebel. What reason do I have to help you succeed?”

“Yes… Originally I was going to spare you dogs’ lives for old times’ sake and only kill that bitch Yun Yao… But now it seems you’re all looking for death…” Xiao Ran said through gritted teeth. “Just you wait… Now you’re all my mortal enemies…”

What no one expected was that after making her threats, Xiao Ran didn’t make a move. She merely leaned against the wall, furiously looking around at everyone, and said: “Just you wait… You rebels just wait… Where’s Qinglong? Damn it, where did Qinglong go?”

Chu Tianqiu and Yun Yao exchanged glances, then furrowed their brows. He boldly speculated about the current situation—Xiao Ran had just been chased by a group of “Ants,” and only in extremely dire circumstances would she reluctantly use “Leap.” Combined with her recent performance… Was it possible that she hadn’t mastered “Echo” at all?

A “Divine Beast” who had neither strengthened her body nor mastered “Echo”—was this the reason “Strong Luck” let her through the door?

After looking around the room for a while, Xiao Ran’s gaze quickly settled on the door in front of Tiantian. Since Qinglong hadn’t appeared here, the only possibility was that he had gone through the door.

She laughed angrily and said: “If Qinglong knew you were causing trouble here… you’d all be dead…”

Taking advantage of everyone’s inattention, she rushed forward and knocked Tiantian aside, then violently pounded on the door panel: “Qinglong!! Are you in there?! Something’s happened outside, hurry up and come out!!”

Tiantian fell to the ground, but she remained expressionless with her eyes closed, as if strengthening her final memory.

Zhang Chenze and Yun Yao stepped forward to help Tiantian up, asking with worried expressions: “Are you alright?”

With her eyes closed, Tiantian muttered: “The pattern on the last wooden panel is three long and nine short… twelve cracks… I’ve memorized it all…”

Tiantian opened her eyes and said with a serious expression to the people before her: “We can go now! Hurry back!”

Everyone knew there was no time to waste. For Tiantian to use her brainpower to memorize all the patterns on a wooden door with intricate designs was no easy feat. They had to get to the room where Qi Xia was before she forgot.

But just as Chu Tianqiu was about to reach out and push open the door, he suddenly thought of something—

Could he even get out in this situation? Although Xiao Ran didn’t pose a threat, she had brought a group of “Ants” waiting outside the door. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be attacked by the “Ants” the instant he opened the door. Although he might not die, all his “weapons” would disappear.

Yun Yao seemed to have noticed Chu Tianqiu’s concerns and hurriedly stepped forward, patting his shoulder and saying: “Tianqiu… It’ll be fine.”

Chu Tianqiu turned his head to look at Yun Yao, but he knew that Yun Yao ultimately wasn’t “Karma” and couldn’t help him escape trouble with just a phrase like “it’ll be fine.”

“Think of any method…” Yun Yao said. “Right now the ‘Luck’ is especially strong. It will definitely protect us.”

“Any method…” Chu Tianqiu seemed to think of something and looked down at his own palm, where lay an ability he had plucked from Xiao Ran’s body.

This was probably the only ability that came from “Luck.”

He dubiously tossed the eyeball into his mouth and briefly tested the changes in his body, only feeling as if wind had sprouted beneath his feet and even his body was about to escape beyond space itself.

It was precisely “Leap.”

“Yun Yao… your ‘Luck’ seems a bit too strong.” Chu Tianqiu smiled. “Not only did it take down Qiongqi’s ‘Leap,’ it also greatly shortened the mission time.”

He reached out to grab Tiantian and turned to the other two, saying: “I’ll take Tiantian to find Qi Xia first. You two be careful.”

“Alright!”

Chu Tianqiu opened the door. A group of “Ants” simultaneously raised their heads to look at him at that moment, seemingly judging whether the target before them could be attacked. But in the next second, Chu Tianqiu disappeared from the spot with Tiantian, leaping to a location several dozen meters away. Before the “Ants” could reconfirm their target, Chu Tianqiu had already taken Tiantian even further away.

Seeing this, Yun Yao and Zhang Chenze quietly waited for a while and found that the “Ants” before them indeed had no intention of attacking them. So they carefully walked forward, and Yun Yao also took advantage of the moment to pick up the lipstick from the table. They left the venue to the “Ants” and “Qiongqi.”

The numerous “Ants,” like travelers waiting for a subway, very courteously waited for the two to exit before filing through the door. The room instantly filled with Xiao Ran’s screams, but neither Xiao Ran nor Zhang Chenze paid any attention.

Yun Yao looked at Zhang Chenze and said softly: “I thought you might want to save her. After all, she looks like a girl with a bitter fate too.”

Zhang Chenze shook her head and smiled bitterly: “I like every girl who is intelligent, brave, and kind… but she…”

“I understand.”

“Besides, no one in this world has an easy life…” Zhang Chenze added. “Degeneracy was her own choice. That’s not worthy of sympathy.”

As the two were talking, they discovered that a door to a “Heavenly-level” room not far away had opened, and a chubby man walked out with Earth-Dog, Lin Qin, Xiao Xiao, and Zheng Yingxiong. Everyone’s expressions were somewhat complex.

“Huh?” Zhang Chenze quickly noticed Earth-Dog with his lazy expression among the crowd. “Aren’t you that one from ‘Disaster Year’…”

“Oh, morning. Are you slacking off too?” Earth-Dog answered indifferently, but his footsteps didn’t pause as he continued forward with the group. However, the direction they were heading wasn’t the corridor, but rather toward the “Cargo Hold” side.

“Where are you…” Yun Yao asked in confusion. “…going?”

Lin Qin swallowed and, while no one was paying attention, quietly moved to the side of the two women, saying in a low voice: “There’s been a change… Yun Yao, Lawyer Zhang… quickly find somewhere to hide… No matter what happens in a moment, don’t come out… Remember this…”

“Huh?”

“That’s all…” Lin Qin said. “Be careful!”

After saying this, he rejoined the group and walked toward the “Cargo Hold” side.

But the two soon discovered that this group didn’t stop at the already-opened door. Instead, they bypassed Aunt Tong and the other “Extreme Path” members at the entrance and walked toward a door in the deeper recesses.
