'What is Yan Chenggong trying to do?'

Yang Yuan felt suspicious. The idea of not chasing a cornered foe was something Yan should be aware of, especially since that place was where the Mountain God resided—going there would be a death wish, wouldn't it?

He watched the scene silently, taking the opportunity to observe the reaction of the Mountain God Mountain.

'Why has the beast tide retreated?'

'Quick, chase after them!'

'I haven't even rented a marvel yet!'

'What marvels? Making money is the priority. Don't let others snatch all those common beasts; such opportunities don't come often. Before this, we had to hunt seventy to eighty li away...'

A large group of Superpower Users who hadn't rented marvels yet couldn't wait any longer and rushed out of the camp.

Even some Superpower Users who were injured joined in, indicating that Yan Chenggong's promise to purchase at a twenty percent markup was very enticing to them.

'Big brother.' Jiang Yiyi and Zhao Jiayan closed the shop doors and went up to the third-floor balcony.

Jiang Yiyi said worriedly, 'That malice is getting stronger. But it seems to be targeting only you.'

'Yang Yuan, maybe we should find a way to escape. If you really want to leave, you definitely can. This place is too dangerous. We've never fought against a deity, even if it's just a spirit like the Mountain God.'

Zhao Jiayan was also very concerned.

'Fleeing would be too disgraceful, especially since Director Yan mentioned before that those who tried to escape all died. What if escaping is the killing rule set by that Mountain God?'

Yang Yuan said, 'I increasingly suspect that the so-called Mountain God doesn't have a direct way to kill. It needs certain conditions to be met to kill.'

From a distance, Yan Chenggong, who had excellent hearing, heard this and said immediately, 'Brother Yang Yuan's suspicion makes a lot of sense. Back then, those people died trying to leave this circle. The others were killed by evil spirits, so it's very likely that running away is its rule for killing, while it itself cannot kill directly.'

'But if it really wants to kill, why would it issue a decree that evil spirits can't enter houses?' a strong man leaped onto a rooftop and questioned from afar.

Yang Yuan said, 'I suspect that the Mountain God is using us to kill the beasts. Either it wants to clear the extra beasts from the Mountain God Mountain, or it wants a blood sacrifice from the beasts to enhance itself, and the latter possibility is more likely.'

'Isn't that wrong? You drove away the beast tide today. If that were the case, the Mountain God would let the tide sacrifice itself.' The strong man doubted again from a distance.

'No, after today's events, I am even more convinced that the Mountain God is aiming for a blood sacrifice.'

Yang Yuan firmly said, 'If my guess is correct, the next large-scale beast tide will involve all the beasts of the entire Mountain God Mountain charging out, and its ultimate goal is to plunge us into mutual destruction, so it won't have to pay any other price to clear us after we kill the beasts. That's why it withdrew the tide today.'

'Commander, the beast tide over there has also retreated...'

At that moment, a scout reported loudly.

Instantly, Yan Chenggong and the strong man in the distance both had changes in their expressions.

Yan Chenggong frowned and said, 'Brother Yang Yuan, your speculation might be correct. That Mountain God is accumulating strength, and if so, there might not be any more small beast tides coming, but if the timing for the large beast tide is flexible, it might not be just ten days later.'

'So, the timing is uncertain?' Zhao Jiayan frowned as she looked at Yang Yuan.

'It definitely needs time to prepare. This timing… is indeed hard to determine, unless the timing of launching the beast tide is also limited in some way.'

Yang Yuan shook his head, 'But we can't deduce that for now. We can only do our best to be ready to fight to the death with it at any moment.'

The strong man on the distant rooftop also furrowed his brows, not liking this passive feeling at all.

'Didn't a team arrive next door? Should we join forces with them?'

The strong man looked at Yan Chenggong, 'What do you think, Commander?'
