Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

The man's voice was very loud late at night, startling the people who were sleeping.

Old Zhou, who was standing next to Su Bai, was still looking confused when they saw a white light coming towards them from afar.

Upon seeing this familiar scene, Old Zhou immediately became anxious: "Damn it, are they going to pull that stunt again?"

Last time Huang Xiang came over, he struck with a palm and transported everyone to another realm.

At that moment, another beam of white light shot out. Although it was unclear what had struck it, the scene looked all too familiar.

Old Zhou's cursing was very loud, and everything suddenly stopped because of his cursing.

Before the white light could reach them, it was deflected in mid-air, shattering into countless tiny fireflies, and the powerful gust of wind vanished at the same time.

In the darkness, the calls of "Tongtong" that Su Bai had heard disappeared, and everything returned to calm.

Su Bai blinked, momentarily thinking that everything he had just seen was an illusion, until he heard Old Zhou speaking in his ear.

"What's going on? Am I seeing things?"

Su Bai's lips twitched slightly: "No."

Old Zhou immediately perked up: "Was that woman waving her hand again? Damn it, what's she up to in the middle of the night? Last time she sent us flying into another realm with one slap, what's she trying to do this time? Does she want to go back in after just getting out?"

Su Bai remained silent, because someone had already approached.

By the red moonlight, one could see that the people approaching were Huang Xiang and three other men.

Huang Xiang didn't speak, but He Chuan asked, "What happened on your side just now? Who blocked my sword?"

Old Zhou glanced at the other person, and Su Bai had a feeling that Old Zhou was about to say something inappropriate again, so he raised his hand and covered Old Zhou's mouth.

Old Zhou: "..."

Su Bai said, "We were also woken up by the noise, but we didn't see anything."

"We saw a swarm of fireflies." Ma Jun chimed in, "What's wrong? Isn't it strange to see fireflies in the middle of the night?"

"Kid, you'd better be smart and stop messing around here. Now is not the time to mess around. If it weren't for He Chuan, you guys would have been eaten by the monster long ago."

Ma Jun picked at his ear: "Where's the monster? We haven't seen it!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "According to your logic, should we thank you for saving our lives? But isn't asking for this life-saving grace a bit too simplistic? We didn't do anything, just a few words?"

"you......"

Ma Jun snorted coldly: "What's wrong with me? Am I wrong?"

"Alright, stop wasting your breath on them."

The dark-skinned, thin man standing next to He Chuan was about to speak when He Chuan stopped him.

He Chuan glanced at the group of people, and finally his gaze settled on Luo Zheng.

"Luo Zheng, you come from the Western Regions, you should know the importance of this matter."

He Chuan didn't say anything else and turned to leave.

The other two men snorted and turned to leave after seeing this, leaving only Huang Xiang behind.

At this moment, Luo Zheng spoke up: "Aren't you leaving?"

Huang Xiang said, "Luo Zheng, now is not the time to throw a tantrum. You should know how serious and important this situation is."

They all spoke in an authoritative tone. Luo Zheng was, after all, a superhuman, and in front of so many people, he had already been holding back.

Seeing Huang Xiang like this now, he thought of how he had taken care of Huang Xiang a few days ago, but now that he had just come out of there, Huang Xiang had turned his back on him.

Luo Zheng snorted coldly: "I know very well what I'm doing, so you don't need to lecture me."

"Whatever you want."

Huang Xiang glanced at Luo Zheng with disappointment, then turned and left.

However, she stopped after taking only a few steps. She turned around to look at Xiang Luozheng and his group, and especially glanced at Su Bai.

"We've been in the east all this time, but you said we were in the west. Even I've realized something's wrong. This isn't as simple as you think. With just a few of you, you'll probably be stuck outside for the rest of your lives."

Old Zhou chimed in, "And then what? Does that mean we can just fawn over you like lapdogs and then get out?"

Huang Xiang snorted coldly: "You'd better pray that you can survive by relying on your mouth."

"Don't worry, even without this mouth, Grandpa can live on."

Huang Xiang's face turned cold, and she turned and strode away without stopping. Soon her figure disappeared from their sight.

Only after the person had walked away did Zheng Ge speak, "Su Bai, did you just wake up? What happened?"

Su Bai said, "I only heard someone looking for someone named Tongtong, and then the voice changed. At that moment, a man named He Chuan from Huang Xiang's side shouted and slashed with his sword. Finally, everything disappeared."

"Call her Tongtong?" Luo Zheng was taken aback. "Did you hear that?"

Apart from Su Bai, the others all looked blank, clearly not having heard Tongtong's cry.

Luo Zheng said, "Su Bai, are you sure you didn't hear me wrong?"

Su Bai said, "I not only heard it tonight, but I also heard it on two other nights before, and one of them was even during the day."

He paused for a moment, then emphasized, "But at that time, it was just me and Lao Zhou with you; you weren't there."

"We couldn't hear it the last few times, so what about tonight? Logically, we should have heard it too, but we didn't hear it either."

It was Chen Hua who spoke first. He rarely spoke, as people had always questioned his identity.

Su Bai said, "I always thought you could all hear it, but now it seems only I can hear it."

Chen Hua pressed further, "Why is it that only you can hear it? Is this some kind of special ability of yours?"

Su Bai said, "I don't know."

Chen Hua was about to ask another question when Lao Zhou interrupted him: "Chen Hua, what do you mean by that? Are you starting to question and sue me again? Don't forget, you are the prime suspect here. Remember your place; you have no right to suspect others."

This time, Chen Hua didn't argue with Lao Zhou: "I'm just curious why everyone else can't hear it except Su Bai. I didn't mean to target him."

Old Zhou snorted coldly: "That's for the best."

There was a minor incident that night, but it didn't have much of an impact, and the matter remained unresolved.

Everyone eventually went back to sleep, but unfortunately they were woken up and couldn't fall back asleep. Everyone stayed awake until dawn.

As they continued on their journey, Huang Xiang arrived and brought news that someone in their group had died the day before.

Huang Xiang glanced at everyone and said, "We've checked; they starved to death."
