Chapter 369: Can We Escape?

Along the way, the vanguard maintained a vigilant guard, not a single soul uttering a word, their footsteps treading upon the yielding earth with nothing but a faint, rustling whisper.

"Brother Chang'an, this seems far more perilous than any of our previous reconnaissance missions!"

Han Ruoxi finally could not help but speak, her voice so low it was almost imperceptible.

"That towering insectoid... if it had spotted us just now, could we have escaped?"

"We could not!"

Li Chang'an's response was sharp.

"Have you said enough?" Chu Mo's countenance grew considerably colder, as though veiled in a layer of frost, his voice equally stiff and icy.

Those whose cultivation had attained the realm of a Demon Venerable were invariably men of few words, and so the journey had been steeped in an immense silence.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, the lights of the basement dimmed, and beneath the flickering illumination, a dark shadow abruptly materialized in the space that had been completely vacant moments before, as insubstantial as mist or cloud.

Hunger was only natural, for internal strength was derived first from external spiritual aura and similar directly absorbable energies; and second from sustenance, refining the essence of food into bodily energy, which was then converted into internal qi.

The Gan Family Trading Firm was a comprehensive establishment that integrated consignments, sales, acquisitions, and auctions all into one.

The brothers conversed, sharing casual domestic talk, and occasionally Li Yesi would consult Li Yi on matters of state governance, to which Li Yi answered without reservation, offering perspectives and suggestions from oblique angles even when he was uncertain, leaving Li Yesi greatly enriched.

The cost of Traditional Chinese Medicine lay primarily in the medicinal ingredients and manual labor, unlike Western medicine, which ground to a near standstill without its instruments.

A thirty-year-old at the pinnacle of the Transcendence Realm could not be said to have no successors, but he was indeed unprecedented, a feat that even Liu Yunfei had never achieved, and thus he had frequently teased his counterpart about it.

Guo Kexin threw herself into my embrace, and at that very moment, Elder Jinchi saw that the hostage had escaped, his expression instantly contorting as he prepared to flee outward.

Lin Jiang's body froze, for in all this time, Li Yi had never been dissatisfied with anything he had crafted, making this absolute rejection by Li Yi an unprecedented first.

Some things, much like this moonlight, can never be grasped no matter how hard you reach; you can only watch helplessly as they slip away.

Inside the hotel guest room, Zhuo Nan, seated before the computer, leisurely lit a cigarette, Langxun's stock had already surged by seventy percent since the opening bell, and he believed that after eleven o'clock, its share price would double yet again.

Neither the audience in the stands nor the competitors in the match knew what had occurred, only that those five individuals had been sent flying, leaving behind only the youth in the fiery red uniform; only those suspended in midair had clearly discerned Huo Ling's movements, while the others? Heh, how could they possibly?

I was just wondering why the shopkeeper would still have firecrackers for sale at a time like this, unless his family had recently hosted a joyous celebration. The shopkeeper seemed to read my suspicion and said to me, "You are truly fortunate, you won't find these things anywhere else right now, they are all leftovers from my family's Lunar New Year."

At this moment, she finally had the chance to hold the man she loved in her arms, and though he was not conscious, at this very instant, Huo Ying's heart was filled with contentment.

Every child harbors a dream of being a heroic champion of justice, and Er'ya was no exception; though her circumstances were fraught with hardship, she still retained the right to dream.

The Fox, caught in the encirclement, paid absolutely no heed to the phantom's assault, standing rooted to the spot as the phantom hand's long blade slashed across his form at the exact moment Hasegawa's blade arrived in timely fashion.

Ye Qinghua, who had still not found Ye Tianling, felt his immense worry and anxiety instantly erupt into a roaring inferno upon hearing Sikong Ying's presumptive interrogation.

The Fox and his two companions joined his side, following his gaze to where Ma Shengnan lay quietly, a hint of a serene smile gracing his face, and after a collective silence, the four of them bowed in unison to Ma Shengnan.

Before long, the silhouette of a colossal behemoth gradually materialized ahead, bearing the head of a dragon, the body of a goat, and the claws of a tiger, crouching upon the ground utterly motionless.
