Chapter 535 Little Pear, Hold Me Tight!

As soon as Ye Kuo's leopard ears touched the ground, a burning pain shot through his earlobes, as if they had been pressed against a red-hot iron plate.

A faint buzzing sound could even be heard in the air.

He endured the pain from the high-temperature burns, held his breath, and listened carefully.

A subtle tremor came from deep underground, and a muffled cracking sound came from inside the mountain, as if the entire mountain range was slowly awakening.

After a long pause, he stood up, looking solemnly at the continuous black mountain range ahead: "Mistress, something's not right about these mountains."

"Mountain?" Jiang Xinli patted Sheng Tianze's arm lightly and jumped down from his embrace. "Something's not right?"

Ye Kuo frowned: "There seems to be something moving deep within the mountain and underground."

As for the feeling that something was wrong with the mountain, it was more of a wild animal's instinctive intuition.

"Let me see." Bai Yao took out a silver detector from his spatial ring and tossed it into the air.

Although interstellar technology is advanced, Sheng Tianze and his companions, being prisoners, had all their equipment confiscated long ago.

As the former Lord of the Dark Star, Bai Yao secretly made many preparations in advance in order to successfully escort Jiang Xinli to the ultimate place.

The probe hovered in the air, humming as it spun a few times. It first scanned the ground vertically, then focused its probe waves on the black mountains ahead.

A holographic projection appeared in front of everyone.

Underground, there were clusters of slowly wriggling red objects.

Judging by the depth, it's very far from the surface.

Directly ahead, within the mountainside, are some quiet, unmoving orange markers.

Bai Yao put away the instrument and said in a clear voice, "Red markings represent aggressive creatures that are currently buried deep."

Based on its energy signature, the orange marker is likely human.

After saying that, he raised his hand and summoned several wind blades, which shot out like arrows towards the black mountain range.

The next moment, he glanced at the personal terminal and frowned. "Look at the map. Our first checkpoint is just beyond the edge of the mountain range. However, beyond the mountain range, it is blocked by a high-level barrier."

As a level 7 ability user, he could clearly sense that the energy contained in this barrier far exceeded his own level.

“This high-level barrier was created by someone with an ability level of at least 10.” He clenched his palm. “It should be the energy of Jin Yuan.”

The highest level of superpower a male orc in interstellar space can achieve is only level 10.

Currently, there are only two that exceed level 10.

One person, one god:
Yunbo before the Sacred Tree was destroyed, and the evil dragon and god Jinyuan.

"Now it seems that this trial is indeed inextricably linked to Jin Yuan."

Sheng Tianze raised his hand and used his spatial power to carefully explore the area around the mountain range.

Soon, his gaze settled on a bottomless tunnel in the middle of the mountain range.

The other end of the tunnel leads to the edge of the barrier that Bai Yao mentioned.

“There’s a tunnel there. We’ll go through it.” He glanced at Bai Yao and Hua Xi. “Bai Yao, you take Li Li and ride the wind there. Hua Xi, you’ll be in charge of guarding her.”

Bai Yao nodded slightly and reached out to pull Jiang Xinli into his arms. "Xiaoli, hold me tight."

He waved his hand, summoning a hurricane, and he and Jiang Xinli were instantly lifted into the air.

Just as Hua Xi was about to transform into a peacock and follow, she saw Bai Yao withdraw his wind power and land back on the ground with Jiang Xinli.

Everyone noticed the rapidly rising mental agitation level above his head. "How could this be?"

The two embraced, feeling as if they were two stoves pressed together, making it even hotter.

Bai Yao did not immediately release Jiang Xinli, but simply said:
"When flying on the wind, the rate at which my superpowers are consumed increases, so I probably won't be able to sustain it until the end."

Moonlight Silver: "It looks like we have no choice but to go through the tunnel."

Sheng Tianze frowned slightly: "My personal domain has also been disabled."

Hua Xi exclaimed in surprise, "Could there be some kind of restriction here, forcing us to enter the tunnel?"

Spatial teleportation is disabled.

Flight by wind is restricted.

Any skill that could "cheate" and allow you to reach the next checkpoint ahead of time was rendered ineffective.

Hua Xi asked, "How about I just take Xiao Lili and fly over there?"

His ability to fly was innate and unrelated to any superpowers, so it wasn't affected by any restrictions. "No, just the two of you is too dangerous," Sheng Tianze immediately objected. "Since this is Jin Yuan's trial, judging by His style, He definitely won't let us pass easily."

After all, the first day was almost over, and they hadn't encountered too many difficulties.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

That means that it is very likely that all of the opponent's deadly backup plans are located near the checkpoint.

"Why do I feel like that mountain is moving?" Jiang Xinli pushed Bai Yao away, looked at the mountain range, and rubbed her eyes.

After her mental strength was promoted to S-level, her five senses also improved significantly.

Xuan Ying strode to Jiang Xinli's side, his pale fingertips lightly tracing her cheek as he carefully examined her expression:

"Little silly pear, is it because of lack of oxygen that you are hallucinating?"

After saying that, he lowered his head and placed a kiss on her lips.
"Don't worry, if you really lack oxygen, your husband will give you artificial respiration anytime."

Because of the high temperature, the girl's fair skin had a thin blush.

Fine beads of sweat slid down his cheeks.

Xuan Ying extended his cool forked tongue and licked away the beads of sweat from her lips.

It's a little salty, but mostly sweet.

"Xiaoying!" Jiang Xinli glared at him playfully. "What kind of time is this to be making jokes like this?"

"Because your husband can't bear to see you frown." Xuan Ying took out some water and fed it to her lips. "Don't worry, your husband is here. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Ye Kuo looked towards the tunnel. "Mistress, you all rest first. I'll go and scout it out."

Jiang Xinli nodded: "Be careful."

Mo Lin walked over. "Brother Leopard, I'll go with you."

"I'll come too." Yuehua Yin, Xue Qianxun, and Hua Xi followed.

After a while, Xuexi suddenly covered her forehead and hissed in pain.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xinli quickly stepped forward, "What's wrong, Xuexi?"

"My head suddenly hurts a lot." Xuexi looked at the others, her face pale. "Are you all alright?"

Jiang Xinli shook her head.

She felt stuffy and had some difficulty breathing.

Overall, it's alright.

"Let me see." Sheng Tianze walked over, squatted down, and a golden light emanated from his palm as he placed it on Xue Xi's forehead.

Surrounded by shimmering light, he frowned slightly: "Rapid heartbeat and abnormal body temperature are likely caused by lack of oxygen and pollution."

His healing abilities have little effect on physical damage.

Jiang Xinli has medicine here, but it's mostly for anti-infection and wound treatment.

She looked anxiously at Xuexi, "Do you have Rhodiola rosea or ibuprofen? An oxygen tank would also be fine?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment:

What is Rhodiola rosea?

What is ibuprofen?

"One treats hypoxia, and the other relieves headaches."

Jiang Xinli remembers that in ancient times, to prevent altitude sickness caused by lack of oxygen, one would eat Rhodiola rosea.

Everyone shook their heads. "No."

As for oxygen cylinders, they are a niche item.

Dark Star, where the flow of resources is scarce, simply doesn't have this thing.

"hiss--"

Xuexi suddenly convulsed violently and fainted in Hanxiao's arms.
