The sage was determined to die.

After waiting for a while, Ji Baiguo, as expected, did not see anyone.

However, to be honest, this situation was not unexpected. In his mind, even if he fell into a more dangerous situation, those people would be less likely to take advantage of his misfortune.

Of course, this wasn't because he had any deep trust in those people, but rather because he had considered their flaws.

"Thinking about it this way, perhaps that person won't just be unable to act freely, but will be restricted more and more severely?"

Ji Bai secretly made his own guesses, while simultaneously covering his arms with a thin layer of armor, as thin as a cicada's wing, without anyone else noticing.

Although he didn't use his literary skills much, his control over them gradually improved over time.

Wang Zhixuan, who was standing to the side, was completely unaware of what was happening. He just inexplicably felt that the muscles on the arm of the person next to him seemed to have become more defined.

At this moment, Ji Bai was as if he had put on a layer of muscle armor. Its only purpose was not to make him look good, but to make his body even more indestructible.

He reached out and grabbed the other two people beside him, gesturing, "Hold on tight to me."

Yan Ming and Gongsun Yang almost instinctively grabbed Ji Bai's arm. Ji Bai looked at the ground in front of them, which was cracked with countless holes, with a thoughtful expression. He seemed hesitant, but he said with great consideration, "I feel like this place is about to explode."

Before anyone could react, Ji Bai moved his feet and started running with the three of them at lightning speed, as if to fulfill his promise. As soon as he left, more cracks appeared in the ground.

Gaps large enough to accommodate three people were scattered all over the ground like a spider web.

Wang Zhixuan naturally followed closely behind, but he still kept an eye on the person beside him. He saw that the person seemed to have expected this, and although he ran very fast, he was not flustered at all.

And... the opponent was also extremely strong.

"Who exactly is this person?" Wang Zhixuan kept trying to match names in his mind, but he couldn't find a face that matched up.

If he was trying to kill me before, why is he saving me now?

Just as his mind was racing, Ji Bai glanced at him and reminded him, "Don't overthink it. Do you really think I wouldn't push you down?"

He seemed to be deliberately portraying himself as extremely wicked, and even chuckled a few times at this moment, saying to the person in front of him, "Don't test my few remaining morals... Besides, can't you run a little more yourself? Hanging on me like this will slow me down."

Upon hearing his words, Yan Ming seemed to think of something. He grabbed Ji Bai with one hand and tightly gripped the transparent gel with the other.

"Are we just going to leave like that?" Yan Ming hinted. "This thing doesn't seem to be reacting much."

"Just go a little further away and stop."

All three were wearing hoods, but through the hoods, Ji Bai's expression turned serious.

"I want to force them out to take a look," Ji Bai said after thinking for a moment.

Yan Ming didn't understand who "they" was when Ji Bai spoke of it, but he still nodded subconsciously.

Rather than saying he trusted the other party, it would be more accurate to say he believed the other party was only acting out of self-interest.
