The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1179 People are afraid of comparison

A nameless fear crept up the man's back, making his throat tighten, and he opened his mouth as if to say something.

But all that came out were a few words: "You...you..."

Although he had never seen the legendary bird in person, anyone with a bit of inside information had heard of its 'great achievements'.

Now, this large bird, which had been like meat on a chopping board to him, stood beside him, tilting its head and looking at him.

No one could remain calm in such a situation... right?

The other people who woke up weren't much better off either; clearly, they had also recognized Erdan, the infamous bird.

No one rushed to speak again, simply because someone had already taken the lead.

They were also wondering how the bird got in. It seemed completely unaffected.

Especially the feeling of being suppressed by a strong pressure on the body.

Seeing Erdan's unusually relaxed appearance, a sense of jealousy slowly welled up from the depths of their hearts.

As for Ginseng Fruit, he was standing right behind Erdan, but no one noticed him immediately.

This made Erdan the target of everyone's envious, jealous, and hateful gazes.

Seeing that the situation was getting tense, Ginseng Fruit stepped out from behind Erdan.

He cleared his throat lightly: "You all better look away. My mount was just curious and didn't mean to do anything to you. Relax~"

Everyone:...

Good guy!
They didn't even see such a big person standing there!

Even though they were unable to stand up due to the powerful pressure, it didn't stop them from being curious about the young girl in front of them who could stand up and talk to them.

However, curiosity only lasts for a moment.

They could clearly see that 'Yunran' was clean and free of any dust.

In other words, the young girl in front of them had never experienced what they had gone through.

Not to mention now, they are still competitors, and compared to 'Yunran', they are like wretched beggars.

This realization left these geniuses, who had been superior to others since childhood, feeling quite resentful.

However, people are afraid of comparisons.

Although they are not as good as 'Yunran' now, they turned to look at the others who did not even show the slightest sign of waking up.

They suddenly felt that they were doing well again. They were not the best, but not the worst either. That was good, at least they weren't at the bottom.

The first young man to wake up wiped the dust off his face, finally looking less disheveled.

When you adjust your mindset, a warm smile will naturally appear on your face.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, have we successfully passed the preliminary rounds? What should we do next?"

The ginseng fruit now understands why its host always liked to roll his eyes.

He really wanted to roll his eyes at these people right now. If he knew what to do, would he be waiting here?

They have no sense of propriety at all!
I haven't seen him move an inch in all this time, just standing here quietly.

"Of course we'll wait. Do you have some other good ideas?"

Those who had woken up upon hearing Yunran's question felt their faces flush.

It was at this moment that they seemed to finally realize that 'Yunran' could not act recklessly either.

Only the bird was largely unaffected and could observe them from all sides.

An awkward atmosphere immediately spread, making them seem rather petty. Fortunately, the awkwardness didn't last long, because something unexpected happened at that moment.

A faint spatial fluctuation appeared, and everyone's eyes turned to it.

If they weren't currently under immense pressure and struggling to move, they would have been the first to rush over and check.

Renshenguo glanced at Erdan beside him, and Erdan immediately understood.

He strode headlong toward the black hole that appeared quickly due to the air fluctuations and distortions.

Erdan walked so easily that it gave others a glimmer of hope, making them think they could also walk so easily.

But reality slapped them hard in the face.

Those who wanted to stand up not only failed to do so, but also felt the oppressive pressure on them become even heavier.

It even got to the point where they had difficulty breathing.

Once the black hole, formed by air fluctuations and distortions, stabilized, Erdan's figure disappeared into it.

The oppressive aura emanating from them gradually dissipated, and a sense of ease returned.

Ginseng Fruit completely ignored the people lying on the ground and strode towards the black hole.

His intuition told him that the host might be behind that black hole.

When the others saw that Ginseng Fruit's figure had also disappeared, they hurriedly stood up, completely disregarding their disheveled appearance.

He hurriedly followed them inside, leaving behind those who had been lying unconscious on the ground.

As the black hole disappeared, blood suddenly spilled from the corners of their mouths; even if they didn't die, they were severely injured.

Seeing the many white bones around him, Erdan hesitated to put his claws down.

I always feel that if I accidentally step on those bones, I'll be unlucky for a very long time.

The barrier surrounding the black hole was only open for a very short time.

The chosen person felt a chill that pierced to the bone as soon as they entered.

Fortunately, Erdan is a bug in itself, so it has little effect in most illusions or barriers.

Not to mention, it's covered in downy fur, so the word "cold" is completely inapplicable to it.

Ginseng Fruit followed closely behind. As soon as he entered, he activated his scanning function, wanting to quickly scan the situation here.

As a result, his scanning function seemed to be blocked by something and could not be used at all.

Just like before, when he tried to scan that blank space under the library, he encountered the same resistance.

Almost instantly, the ginseng fruit was confirmed.

The barrier behind this black hole is made of the same material as the barrier beneath the library.

Upon reaching this conclusion, the corners of Ginseng Fruit's mouth actually turned up slightly.

His hunch was right; the host must be here too.

Unfortunately, his scanning function is temporarily unavailable, making it impossible to quickly locate the host.

Just then, a series of heavy footsteps came from behind. Ginseng Fruit didn't turn around to look, but he knew who it was.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the distinctly surprised voices of these people around him.

"Hiss! Where is this place? It's so cold, even colder than the snow-capped mountains!"

"Look! How can there be so many bones? Could it be... could these all be..."
