Chapter 162 Things Have Changed
"Of course, the gap is more than just a little bit, sister. We will be able to join them soon."
Situ Lan raised the two antennae on her head slightly, her tone slightly arrogant.
Tu Shan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's find a place to stop later, but don't let them notice."
"Okay, sister!"
She trusted Jian Wu and Mu Sen's character, but she hadn't had much contact with the other four and wasn't sure who they were.
What I'm looking for are friends who can fight alongside me and grow together, not backstabbers who stab me in the back.
Thinking about certain possibilities in the future, she felt very uneasy.
Hua Buhui's attitude speaks for itself, indicating that the future holds great significance and may cost many lives.
We'll save as many as we can.
The chances of survival only increase if the people around you are strong enough.
Unsure whether a catastrophe would strike fifty years from now, she dared not gamble; the only thing she could do was to do her best.
"We've arrived, sister! They're fifty miles ahead, fighting a group of Tier 3 snow rats."
"Alright, here's a pill for you. Although it's only a mid-grade seventh-rank pill, it's my best craftsmanship to date."
Tu Shan took out a bottle of mid-grade seventh-rank pills and gently placed it on Situ Lan's back.
It used its tentacles to curl up a pill, stuffed it into its mouth, and contentedly shrank its body back onto the wooden hairpin.
Tu Shan took out a stool again and continued to slide towards Ji Se and the others.
"Geng Yu, the five of you go. The four of us won't interfere this time, unless we're on the verge of death."
Ji Se, Jin Zhilin, Jian Leng, and Rong Lu stood opposite Geng Yu, Zhong Qi, Cheng Nan, Song Nian, and Dongfang Gui.
Geng Yu turned to look at the snow rat confronting them, nodded solemnly, and was about to pat his chest to make a guarantee when a voice came from beside him, its tone unfriendly.
"Jise, with so many snow rats, you're sending the five of us to fight? Aren't you going to send us to our deaths?"
Song Nian stared at Ji Se, her face ashen.
Upon hearing her words, Geng Yu knew inwardly that something was wrong!
He quickly explained, "Junior Sister Song, what are you saying? Ji Se didn't mean that. She just wanted to help us improve our strength since we are the weakest among us."
What's wrong with Junior Sister Song lately? She's never had so many problems before.
Is she trying to provoke a conflict by saying that?
What Geng Yu could think of, everyone else could think of too. Even Dongfang Gui, who always kept to himself and didn't care about anything, looked at her with surprise.
Ji Se raised her eyes, stared at her expressionlessly for three seconds, and said, "No one will force you not to go. You only have a water elemental root; it's not like you're indispensable."
Song Nian paused slightly, thinking of the ten thousand high-grade spirit stones Elder Mu had paid, and secretly felt annoyed.
Someone who can pay 10,000 high-grade spirit stones per person, even if I don't know what they are, is definitely not simple.
She acted impulsively.
Coming to her senses, she immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Ji. I didn't think before I spoke. I was just too scared. I didn't react when faced with so many Tier 3 snow rats all at once."
Senior Sister Ji, you should be able to understand my helplessness, right?
No one else spoke. Geng Yu saw Song Nian's pitiful appearance and was about to say something on her behalf, but when she met Ji Se's cold gaze, she obediently chose to shut up.
Seeing that Geng Yu was about to cause trouble, Zhong Qi nudged him with his shoulder and glanced at him sideways.
Don't do anything stupid!
Geng Yu received Zhong Qi's hint and secretly regretted that he had become such a soft-hearted person.
He had sworn to be a man of iron will, but how come he softened so easily after Song Nian said that?
Could it be that Song Nian has some special ability?
Geng Yu looked at Song Nian with suspicion.
Ji Se took in the expressions and actions of the three people, and her expression returned to normal: "Alright, if you don't want to go, don't waste everyone's time. You go and stay over there. Geng Yu, the four of you go."
"okay!"
Geng Yu responded and rushed out.
Zhong Qi and Cheng Nan followed without hesitation.
Dongfang Gui glanced at the others, then followed.
After the group had fought their way through the snow rats three times, Jin Zhilin spoke up from the side.
"Junior sister, aren't you afraid something will happen to the four of them?"
Ji Se appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was wary, asking, "Who are they?"
"The chosen ones of Lingyun Sect and Tianyi Sword Sect".
Jin Zhilin answered tentatively.
"No, they are cultivators. What kind of cultivators would retreat when they encounter difficulties? They should just go back to their sects and live a life of idleness and waiting to die. At least our team doesn't need people like that."
Gise spoke earnestly.
Song Nian felt that Ji Se was talking about her, and couldn't help but argue, "But we haven't grown up yet, we can't beat them at all, why should we sacrifice ourselves in vain?"
Ji Se twitched his lips slightly, but did not answer her question.
It can only be said that those who are different cannot work together.
Song Nian's idea was correct, but it wasn't suitable for a fan.
The person Tu Shan is looking for is someone with whom she can entrust her back.
Song Nian may betray us, or she may not, but so what?
There is no room for error between her and the fan; even the slightest mistake can be fatal.
Song Nian is no longer a good fit for their team.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she hadn't let Cheng Nan sign the contract in front of everyone.
The test was indeed necessary.
With her and the fan's current combined strength, they could roam freely in the Misty Continent. It would be best for them to keep a low profile and avoid becoming targets of public criticism.
“You’re right. Everyone has their own choices. If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to go. If they want to go, that’s their own business.”
Seeing that Ji Se didn't want to respond, Jin Zhilin offered an explanation for her.
Ji Se merely glanced at him indifferently before turning her gaze back to the battlefield.
Jin Zhilin didn't know why, but that glance always felt like it was telling him to "meddle."
"Heh, you people from the Heavenly Sword Sect are truly shameless. If the five of us attack together, four of us will be from the Lingyun Sect. Is he just a pawn you've discarded?"
These words even made Rong Lu, who was resting with his eyes closed, open them and glance at her.
Ji Se: This thought process is quite unique.
"Oh? Is that what you think?" Ji Se sneered. "Heh, think whatever you want, what does it have to do with me? Either shut up, or I'll shut up for you, you choose one!"
She was getting really impatient with Song Nian's constant chatter.
When I first met her, I thought she was a nice person, but I don't know when she changed!
When exactly did it start?
Ji Se carefully recalled Song Nian's attitude towards people and things.
She remembered!
It was after encountering a sixth-order demonic beast that Song Nian changed her attitude.
She feared power, feared enemies, and feared death.
Whenever something unexpected or beyond one's capabilities happens, one can't help but make cynical assumptions about the person.
Why would she think of Ji Se like that?
Gise didn't quite understand; this wasn't something she was good at.
If only the fan were here, she could see through these things about human nature and the human heart at a glance.
Forget it, let her deal with it when the fan arrives!
Seeing the unconvinced look in Song Nian's eyes, Ji Se didn't say anything and took action directly.
He used a spell to silence Song Nian, had Xiao Die pay attention to her, and then focused all his attention on the battlefield.
