I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

After a moment's thought, Ji Dong said to the boy who called himself Xu Xingyu, "The nearest military camp is on the eighth floor. We're going there too, would you like to come along?"

Ji Dong did not invite Xu Xingyu and others to join his team rashly; he had three reasons for making this choice.

The first reason was to have more time to observe the other party, because even their uncle from the Bright Five Elements Continent had never seen the other party in the allied forces.

The second reason was to find his senior brother, Fu Rui, as soon as possible, so that he and Lan Bao'er's safety could be guaranteed.

Ji Dong's senior brother, Fu Rui, is the leader of the Yin-Yang Academy coalition of the Bright Five Elements Continent. He possesses a rare mutated attribute, the lightning attribute. Because his Yin-Yang ratio is predominantly Yang, his attribute is Yang lightning.

It was precisely because of his powerful Yang attribute that he was given the title of Thunder Emperor by the entire Yin-Yang Academy, and his cultivation was the same as Xu Xingyu's, also at the Seven Crowns level.

Once they reunite with their senior brother, even if Xu Xingyu and the others really want to harm them, with their senior brother in charge, they won't be able to cause any trouble.

If they harbor no ill intentions, then it can be considered as finding some formidable allies for their senior brother. After all, the ultimate enemy of the Bright Five Elements Continent is still the Dark Five Elements Continent.

The last reason was that he didn't feel comfortable sending these people to their military camp on the third floor. Although it had the best medical equipment of their Bright Five Elements Continent Allied Army, the people there were all wounded or in the logistics department. He couldn't trust strangers to take them to the logistics department, because if he wasn't careful, the entire logistics department would be wiped out.

In response to Ji Dong's invitation, Xu Xingyu looked at Gu Qiuxi and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. If there's anything we can do to help during this process, we'll do our best to assist."

Hearing Xu Xingyu's words, Ji Dong lowered his guard slightly. Since the other party was willing to risk going to the more dangerous eighth floor with him, instead of taking the initiative to return to the third floor, it meant that he also cared about the situation of their Bright Five Elements Continent.

However, what Ji Dong didn't know was that Xu Xingyu didn't care at all about the war between the Light Five Elements Continent and the Dark Five Elements Continent. In the end, this war had no good or evil; it was simply a war launched by humans to expand their territories.

He was already troubled by the prospect of war breaking out on the Sun and Moon Continent a few years later, and he didn't want to get involved in wars in other worlds. It was better for the people of their own world to handle such matters.

The reason Xu Xingyu agreed to Ji Dong's invitation was simply because his decision aligned with her own desires.

Don't be fooled by his constant talk about Yalin'er needing treatment.

Ever since Xu Xingyu rescued Ya Lin'er from the ice, he has been using the light element to heal her body. He believes that Ya Lin'er will recover soon.

He said that only to make Ji Dong less wary of him, so that his group would have a reason to follow Ji Dong.

During this process, he can use his spiritual power and Star Soul Beads to analyze the Crimson Lotus Mark on Ji Dong's body, thereby obtaining a way to enter the Earth's core world.

This is why Xu Xingyu chose to seal her cultivation and dark attribute when she released the Yin-Yang Crown, and even made Gu Qiuxi suppress her attribute to a single Yin-Yang attribute, instead of maintaining a state of Yin-Yang balance.

And this method did indeed work as Xu Xingyu wished, making Ji Dong lower some of his guard against her, and even making him take the initiative to invite her.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu accepted Ji Dong's invitation without much hesitation.

For the next period of time, Ji Dong, Xu Xingyu, and the others teamed up and headed towards the eighth level of Holy Evil Island.

Ji Dong and Lan Bao'er originally wanted to explore an area on the seventh floor before going there, because they had received information that a meteor had fallen from the sky and landed on a mountain on the seventh floor.

However, Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi immediately realized that it was because they had caused quite a commotion when they were transported to this world.

Since Ji Dong noticed the two men's hesitant expressions, they could only try to fool each other with half-truths.

In short, the story is about Xu Xingyu, Gu Qiuxi, and Ya Lin'er fighting a powerful ninth-tier water-type magical beast in the snowy mountains.

During this process, Yalin'er was frozen, and Xu Xingyu had no choice but to take a desperate gamble to win, so she used her treasured Earth-type skill scroll to kill her.

It took some time to free Ya Lin'er from the ice, which is why she is now so weak that she can't walk on her own and can only be carried by Xu Xingyu.

Lan Bao'er completely believed Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi's words, and Ji Dong also felt that their logic was sound and without any problems. However, having lived two lives, he always felt that things were not just that simple. He just didn't point it out, after all, he didn't have anything to fight for.

The only person who knew for certain that Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi were lying was Ya Lin'er.

After Ji Dong extended an invitation to travel with them, Ya Lin'er remained quietly nestled in Xu Xingyu's arms, attentively listening to everyone's conversation.

Although she didn't show much emotion on the surface, she was still curious about why Xu Xingyu was so interested in this excited boy.

Ever since they rescued her from the ice crevice, she had a vague feeling that they seemed somewhat out of place in this world.

Although they claimed it was to see how much she remembered, they made her recount the basic knowledge of this plane.

But as she recounted the story, she felt it was more like the two people were learning the basics of this plane, as if they knew nothing about it.

However, Ji Dong's appearance later made her doubt her previous views. Whether it was the ambush on the Netherworld Demon Wolf or the choice to join Ji Dong's group, it gave her the feeling that he already knew about Ji Dong's existence and wanted to attract his attention so that he could get something from him.

However, she ultimately did not speak up to advise Ji Dong and Lan Bao'er. After all, she trusted Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi more than these two strangers who had nothing to do with her.

Not only because they rescued her from the ice, but also because her bloodline told her that Yalin should trust them.

Even if she forgot whose blood she was born from, she knew that her bloodline had a very strong sense of perception and would not easily develop feelings of closeness to people.
