One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

With a sigh, Su Mu stood up again.

Whether ascension is a trap or not, it shouldn't concern me much anymore.

Anyway, I'm not following the Qi Refining system; I'm just a pitiful, weak, and helpless outsider.

Well then, let's set up the secluded space first and wait for Qu Tong and the others to arrive.

With this in mind, Su Mu decided to re-enter the secluded space.

But before he could act, his perception of the wind domain, amplified by the folded space, sensed that many supernatural beings were approaching the valley.

It seems that Elijah and his men have arrived.

Then there's no time to create a secluded space anymore.

Su Mu sighed.

Even though I used to love slacking off the most, now that the system has created constellations and artifacts, my collecting obsession has been put to the test.

There's a feeling that I won't stop until I've maxed out all the constellations and collected all the artifacts in one go.

However, the system did mention that if you collect artifacts to form a set, there will be a set effect, right?

How come I've already got the three-piece Wind Rises set, but haven't activated the set effect yet?

Do I have to collect all five items before I can activate it?

Forget it, let's talk about the set bonus later. Let's deal with Elijah and his gang first.

Thinking of this, Su Mu flapped his Wind God Wings and flew towards the entrance of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley.

At this moment, a group of people were slowly walking towards the entrance of the Twenty-Four Festivals Valley.

The leader was a bald man with a head as big as a boiled egg.

A blond man with a cigarette in his mouth and another tall, pale-faced man were hanging at the back of the line, chatting casually.

The blond man, Elijah, said, "Strange, very strange."

"From what I've observed over the past few days, our team is a mix of us, the superhumans, and ordinary people like them."

"The mission requirements, in addition to retrieving the artifacts, specifically included protecting Judy."

"Considering the curse that Alan and his companions encountered at their destination, what we are dealing with is definitely related to our world."

As they were talking, a large group of monkeys emerged from the Twenty-Four Valley Pass ahead.

Su Mu looked down from high above at Elijah and the others who were confronting the monkey.

These monkeys were kept as pets by Wugensheng in the Twenty-Four Seasonal Valley.

As mentioned earlier, the magical patterns of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms can make people unconsciously circulate their Qi.

Similarly, these patterns can also help monkeys gradually straighten their backs and move closer to humans.

These monkeys have lived in the valley for generations, and some of the older ones have become very human-like.

Professor Byrd in the group showed great interest in the monkey troop.

He ran excitedly to the monkey and shouted, "I saw it! How lucky!"

"This is...this is a very rare breed!"

"Tch, where did this monkey come from?"

"Get out! Get out! Don't come near me—ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, the monkey had already appeared behind him in a flash.

The fat man screamed in agony, lying on the ground and covering his eyes with his hands!

Everyone could see clearly that two streams of bloody tears welled up in the fat man's eyes!

The monkey raised its two front paws.

Each claw held a blood-red eyeball!

"Kai! Are you alright?!"

The people in the group asked a pointless question.

Before they could talk any longer, a large number of monkeys rushed out from the cliffs on both sides and launched an attack on them.

Su Mu watched as the monkey troop charged toward the crowd; a battle was imminent.

To be honest, Su Mu didn't care whether these monkeys lived or died.

However, these monkeys are, after all, a Class I protected animal in the country, so it's best to preserve as many as possible.

I'll need to rest too, so having these monkeys to keep watch or cause trouble will save me some trouble.

Thinking of this, Su Mu flapped its wings lightly and descended downwards.

During the descent, the human group and the monkey troop had already begun fighting.

The monkeys took the initiative and successfully scratched and bit several people to death.

"Damn it! Kill these bastards!"

A gloomy-looking man roared, drew a pistol, aimed it at a monkey, and pulled the trigger—

Bang!

With a gunshot, the bullet left the barrel!

But the expected scene of blood splattering did not appear. Instead, the bullet flew slowly through the air as if it had been slowed down!

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

"What the hell is this?!"

"Wait! Look at those monkeys!"

Hearing the sound, everyone looked at the monkeys and saw that all the monkeys were enveloped in a green whirlwind and bound in mid-air!

No matter how much the monkeys struggled, they could not break free of their restraints.

Seeing this, Elijah, Hongda, and the other superhumans broke out in a cold sweat.

For a superhuman, killing some monkeys, or even wiping them all out, is not too difficult.

However, what a terrifying ability it is to precisely control all the monkeys in an instant using supernatural powers or techniques.

You should know that there are many monkeys and their people gathered together.

If it were a limited method, it would be absolutely impossible to distinguish between humans and monkeys so accurately!

Who did this?

Who could possess such means?

The group looked at each other in bewilderment and searched around.

"Have you seen anyone?"

"No! I couldn't find it!"

Su Mu's lips twitched as he looked at the panicked crowd below and sighed.

Why can't these people look up?

Never mind, I'll just go down myself.

Su Mu landed on the Wind God's Wings.

Upon seeing Su Mu land, the group exclaimed in surprise.

"An angel! It's an angel!"

"He must be Archangel Miller! He must have been sent by God to save us!"

Several people knelt on the ground at the same time, bowing and paying their respects to Su Mu.

Elijah looked at Su Mu, his hand gripping the silver revolver tightly.

He knew that this person was definitely not an angel, but a superhuman with terrifying methods and even more terrifying strength.

He didn't know exactly how many superhumans were in his team.

But in his judgment, even if everyone in his team were combined, they wouldn't be a match for this person.

If he had known beforehand that this mission would involve facing such an enemy, he wouldn't have come even if he had been offered a lot of money!

Seeing the surprised and uncertain expressions on everyone's faces, Su Mu walked up to the bullet that he had used Thousand Winds Decree - Reverse Slowdown and pinched the bullet with his bare hands.

"Everyone, as your guide mentioned before, these monkeys are golden snub-nosed monkeys, which are a first-class protected animal in my country."

"So please don't hurt them."

As Su Mu spoke, he threw the bullets to the ground.

Seeing this, Professor Byrd stepped out from the crowd and shouted, "Are you the owner of these golden monkeys?"

"Did you send them to attack us?"

"How did you raise them to possess such a level of organization and intelligence?"

"I won't say anything else, just hand over how you raised these monkeys, and we won't pursue the matter of the monkeys injuring people!"
