The sage was determined to die.

Because Ji Bai's movements were swift and discreet, neither of them could see what he had taken out.

Ji Bai stood there with a slightly serious expression, seemingly unsure of what to do, while the two men's gazes were cautious yet probing.

The scene was similar, as if it had been repeated. It was still the three of them spying from above, with a large crowd of people standing below.

Ji Bai looked at these people, then suddenly scratched his head and asked in a natural tone, "Why haven't they started fighting yet?"

"Fortune favors the bold."

Ji Bai looked at the two of them, as if seeking their opinions, and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

The two understood.

They understood again.

Yan Ming swallowed hard. It wasn't hard to tell from Ji Bai's implication that because they had ruined the other party's plans, this person clearly wanted them to charge into battle and die.

"Don't be impulsive."

Yan Ming tried to awaken the other party's rationality with words. He pointed to himself and then to Gongsun Yang beside him, and said, "For two people like him and me who have no fighting ability to go down and fight so many people, it would be a complete waste."

Ji Bai looked at him with surprise and said, "Why did you think of that? I'm just curious what all these people are looking for here. Aren't you curious too?"

Hearing Ji Bai say this, Yan Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense mood eased slightly.

Upon closer examination, Ji Bai's words actually made a lot of sense.

Seeing that the groundwork was laid, Ji Bai breathed a sigh of relief. The world he saw was very different from that of the two of them, as if there was an extra layer of game screen that only he could see.

Seeing that the two people's attention had also been drawn to the area below, Ji Bai had a sudden thought and pressed the switch in his mind that only he could activate.

The next second, a chorus of panic erupted from the foot of the mountain, and suddenly many stones appeared in the air.

The gray stones floated in the air, surrounding the group like a hunting net trapping its prey; the scene was quite bizarre at first glance.

This scene clearly attracted the attention of the people on the mountain.

Ji Bai, with his superb acting skills and a surprised expression, said, "This scene looks so familiar."

Even Yan Ming, naturally, wouldn't think these were just stones. He exclaimed in surprise, "With so many people here, haven't these stones been scared away?"

"That's not fair," Yan Ming whispered. "There are only two of us, how could we just disappear..."

The three of them did not rush down. Although they seemed eager to go, they decided to observe first.

The result was obviously not much different from what they expected. When the group of people down the mountain saw the densely packed rocks that were about to attack them, they immediately stepped in to block them.

However, the stone was clearly more for show than practical use. It had only a thin outer layer, and it didn't even require a weapon. Just a slight touch of the hand would cause the outer layer to fall off smoothly, revealing a shimmering, gem-like luster inside.

In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up.

……

People at the foot of the mountain began to scramble for it, and those on the mountain were about to act as well.

"Ji Bai, are you just going to watch like this?"

Yan Ming clearly recognized the items, and he frantically gestured to Ji Bai with his eyes: "These are all your things, are you just going to watch others steal them from you?"

Ji Bai remained calm, observing the scene without blinking. When Yan Ming asked a question, he simply replied:

"One should be broad-minded, so why do you seem more agitated than I am?"
