Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 98 Weight
Inside Villa No. 11.

The Jiang Hailiu couple, Jiang Xingyu, and their business partners who were exchanging business information felt a little more at ease.

"We never expected that Mr. Ji would be willing to risk his life to come to Blue Moon City to help us. Although it was because of Xiao Bai, our Jiang family will always remember this kindness."

The flu in Jianghai evoked countless emotions.

"Who is this Mr. Ji? Can he... protect us?"

Another middle-aged man in the house couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Hailiu glanced at him.

Jiang Chuanqi is a prominent figure in Blue Moon City. The Jiang Group behind him is valued at over 10 billion yuan, and his personal wealth is also 3 to 4 billion yuan.

He came to Blue Moon City this time to discuss business with him and another Mr. Lü in the room.

“Mr. Ji is a good friend of my son and should be a senior spiritual ability user.”

River and sea channels.

“That’s settled! High-level mental ability users usually have their own teams! It’s not a problem to pull out three or five high-level martial artists from their teams! With this lineup, as long as we don’t encounter double-digit numbers of alien beasts or monsters, our safety is basically guaranteed.”

A man next to Jiang Chuanqi was beaming with joy.

He is Jiang Lin, Jiang Chuanqi's cousin and bodyguard, and a mid-level martial artist.

It was because of his quick reaction that they were able to hide immediately when the fog rolled in, thus avoiding being discovered by the strange beasts.

Jiang Chuanqi also understood the significance of a deputy senior-level psychic, and his mood immediately eased: "President Jiang actually has such strength, having befriended a deputy senior-level psychic early on. Riding on this person's coattails, the Longyuan Chamber of Commerce will surely rise to prominence. It seems that our group will have to increase our stakes in this transaction."

"It's also because of Mr. Ji's kind words."

Jiang Hailiu gave a brief response.

Jiang Chuanqi didn't say much.

With the crisis still ongoing, now is clearly not the time to discuss business.

Jiang Xingyu, who was standing to the side, had a complicated expression when she saw that President Jiang, who even her own father had to flatter, actually had such an evaluation of Ji Fuyou.

But she also understood that Ji Fuyou had gone to great lengths to protect them in Blue Moon City despite the fog, and she had to accept this debt of gratitude no matter what. Therefore, she could only ask indirectly, "Didn't you say that the fog wouldn't appear in the city? Why..."

"Many forward-thinking people have actually predicted that it was only a matter of time before the fog enveloped the city, which is why the price of source crystals has surged from several million to tens of millions in recent months."

Jiang Hailiu glanced at her and sighed, "Now it seems... just as I thought. We were unlucky and became the first batch of unfortunate ones."

"It's not the first batch, it's the third batch! There have been two incidents in China where cities have been shrouded in fog, and even globally, it doesn't even count as one of the top ten batches!"

Jiang Chuanqi said in a deep voice, "Every time the fog descends, the number of casualties reaches five figures! It's just that the higher-ups strictly control the information to avoid causing panic and looting of precious resources such as source crystals."

"Five figures!?"

Tens of thousands of people!?

Jiang Xingyu's face was ashen.

"Alright, try not to speak or make any noise. Even with Mr. Ji protecting us, we still need to do our best to avoid attracting the attention of strange beasts because of our conversation."

Jiang Chuanqi reminded him.

Jiang Hailiu nodded.

Everyone fell silent and moved quietly, and the house quickly became deathly still.

Time passes gradually.

However, things did not develop as everyone expected. After two or three hours, the fog gradually dissipated, and the strange beast left as the fog dissipated.

The situation is heading in the worst possible direction.

especially……

As time went on, the number of strange beasts emerging from the mist increased significantly.

This garden hotel alone has probably already been invaded by dozens of strange beasts and monsters.

During this period, many people were discovered by strange beasts and monsters, and lost their lives amidst their shrill screams.

Three hours had passed, and the fog showed no sign of dissipating. Ji Fuyou decided not to wait any longer.

"Blue Moon City may become the first human city shrouded in mist for an extended period of time!"

Ji Fuyou had this feeling in his heart.

At least……

This is the case domestically.

He went to the window and said, "The fog isn't going to dissipate, and at this rate, there will be more and more monsters. We must retreat before Blue Moon City becomes a paradise for monsters and freaks! You guys pack up, we'll break out!"

"Break through? Mr. Ji, should we wait a little longer? Maybe the fog will clear soon..."

Jiang Chuanqi's expression immediately changed.

"The longer you wait, the more monsters will appear. This fog is spreading from Huanglong Cave, and the fog in Huanglong Cave has lasted for more than a month. Don't take any chances."

Ji Fuyou added, "If you insist on staying here, I respect your choice!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Jiang Hailiu immediately said, "Mr. Ji, we trust your judgment!"

Jiang Chuanqi quickly apologized as well: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji. I was out of my mind. I also believe in Mr. Ji's professionalism."

"Alright, I've cleared out the few strange beasts nearby. You all come out now."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he leaped into the air.

He sensed that a skeleton monster had already patrolled the area within 30 meters of the villa, and he had to deal with it.

Skeleton monsters possess incredible strength and extremely high resistance to mental magic, but their advantage lies in their lack of agility and slow reaction time.

Ji Fuyou, taking advantage of this, would launch surprise attacks on these skeleton monsters, and with the absolute precision brought by his mental perception, he could often kill them in two or three rounds.

While not as easy as dealing with giant scorpions or blood bats, it's not particularly dangerous in a one-on-one situation where you have the upper hand.

However, if there are too many skeletons, he will lose his first-mover advantage and find himself in a very passive position.

At the same time, facing a three-headed skeleton monster would put them in mortal danger.

Therefore, he could only use his mental perception advantage to anticipate the skeleton monster's movements and ensure that the skeleton monster was alone before attacking and eliminating it.

A few minutes later, Ji Fuyou killed the three-headed skeleton monster and a giant scorpion, barely clearing the way out of the Garden Hotel and returning to Villa No. 11.

Inside the villa, Jiang Hailiu and the others were already prepared.

They set off lightly equipped.

Ji Fuyou glanced at the six people, his gaze settling on Jiang Chuanqi and the others.

"Are you sure you want to leave together? If we encounter any danger, I will prioritize the safety of Mr. Jiang and the others."

“We understand.” Jiang Chuanqi quickly replied, “Mr. Ji, please rest assured that we will not cause you any trouble. In addition, my cousin Jiang Lin is also an intermediate martial artist. He can provide support and assistance to you in fighting the alien beast.”

Intermediate martial artist.

Such martial artists can barely be of any use against the leopard-men of Fulong Mountain with a physical strength value of 15 to 20, or the straw men of the Misty Forest. However, if they were to actually fight against the giant scorpions, blood bats, or skeleton monsters with a physical strength value of 20 to 25, they would be doomed.

but……

"Stay close to me and don't make a sound!"

Ji Fuyou gave a greeting and led the way.

The six people quickly followed.

Although the fog wasn't so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, the visibility was still frighteningly low. No matter how careful the six of them were, it was impossible for them not to make any noise.

In this situation, although Ji Fuyou eliminated several strange beasts and skeleton monsters, a blood bat still flew over upon hearing the news.

"Keep moving forward!"

Ji Fuyou said something, took a step, and disappeared into the mist.

The moment his figure disappeared, the six people in the arena felt their breath catch in their throats. In this fog-shrouded, pitch-black environment, an unprecedented fear surged into their hearts.

"Floating Season..."

Jiang Xingyu couldn't help but let out a trembling gasp.

"Silence!"

Jiang Chuanqi quickly whispered, "Mr. Ji is a senior-level mental ability user. He has a perception range of at least several tens of meters in the fog. He must have sensed the danger and cleared the way for us. Let's continue forward, and he will catch up."

Jiang Xingyu's face was pale as she stayed close to her father, Jiang Hailiu.

Even so, I still felt no sense of security whatsoever.

Fortunately, just over ten seconds later, Ji Fuyou's voice came again from the mist: "This way."

The two simple words seemed to possess boundless magic, instantly calming all six people present.

The group continued on their way, and as they passed a villa, a window suddenly opened, revealing an anxious face: "Mr. Jiang? Did you send someone to take you out? Could you please give our family a ride?"

"Mr. Wan?"

Jiang Chuanqi clearly recognized the man, and also saw a woman in her thirties inside, along with her two children, both around six or seven years old.

It looks like a family going on a trip?

He quickly replied, "I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to invite an expert like Mr. Ji."

"Mr. Ji?"

Mr. Wan knew that Mr. Ji must be the young man who led the group, so he immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Mr. Ji, please take us with you! We're willing to pay! Ten million! We're willing to pay ten million just to get us out of here..."

Ji Fuyou did not stop moving.

It's not that he's heartless, but rather...

Even six people would significantly increase the uncertainty of the retreat, let alone ten?
Especially since there were two children inside.

"Hide well."

He simply said something and quickly passed the villa.

"No! Mr. Ji! I meant ten million per person..."

Seeing Ji Fuyou leave without hesitation, Mr. Wan inside the villa panicked and pleaded, "One hundred million! I'll give you one hundred million! As long as you're willing to take us out, I'm willing to pay you one hundred million... one hundred million for each of us! Mr. Ji... please..."

Later on, his voice, in addition to fear, carried a hint of despair.

But Ji Fuyou's movements did not stop at all; in fact, he even sped up a bit.

Jiang Chuanqi looked somber, but dared not utter a word.

Four hundred million!
With that Mr. Wan's wealth being no less than his, he could definitely afford it!

But the problem now...

Is it about money?
Jiang Xingyu, who was traveling with him, felt completely dazed at that moment.

One hundred million per person, that's four hundred million!?

You can make 400 million by taking four people and leaving Blue Moon City?!
A full four hundred million!

For her, this was an astronomical sum that was simply unimaginable.

If one wanted to, fugax could be obtained almost effortlessly.

But instead of giving up 400 million, he insisted on protecting the six of them as they left!
Just because of her brother Jiang Yubai's request?
One favor, worth 600 million?!

At this moment, Jiang Xingyu finally realized just how important Ji Fuyou, a deputy senior mental ability user, was.

Not to mention them, even her father, Jiang Hailiu, a billionaire with a net worth of over a billion, is far beyond their reach.

……

The team of seven moved forward quickly.

On their way out of the Garden Hotel, after witnessing Ji Fuyou's formidable strength in killing the alien beast, two more groups risked speaking up, hoping to leave with them.

But Ji Fuyou ignored it all.

Do what you are capable of.

Dozens of people acting together would create too much noise and inevitably attract a large number of strange beasts and monsters.

If the number of skeleton monsters exceeds three, he might not even be able to protect Jiang Hailiu's family.

Therefore, he left with absolute decisiveness.

This scene deeply shocked Jiang Hailiu, Jiang Chuanqi, Jiang Xingyu, and others.

Especially along the way...

They saw no fewer than a hundred corpses...

Or rather, only a hundred corpses could be estimated, and many of them were unrecognizable.

This environment brought the heaviness, oppression, and fear in the hearts of the six people to the extreme.

If it weren't for Ji Fuyou always leading the way like a guiding light, occasionally speaking and emitting a refreshing spiritual wave that soothed their fearful hearts, some of them would probably have been terrified and collapsed by this horrific scene.

Although Ji Fuyou was leading the way, and the lone beast was no match for him, he dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

because……

The number of strange beasts and monsters has increased again.

The number has at least doubled compared to when he entered the city a few hours earlier!
