The Ancient Gods Chapter 879 - 416: She’s Back!

Chapter 879: Chapter 416: She’s Back!

In the deep underground ruins, a group of people navigate through the dim tunnels.

A faint rumbling sound resonates, like distant thunder.

"What exactly is going on?"

Nightmare moves forward in the darkness, afraid to light a torch for fear of alerting danger: "Our mission was clearly to protect Thunder, so why leave her and escape from these underground ruins?"

Lord ng hesitated for a mont, then whispered: "You just need to know that we haven’t betrayed you. You have your own perception abilities to sense whether we harbor any ill intentions. We haven’t put up any defenses against you."

"Sorry, although we’re teammates, I can’t say much for now."

Lu Qingqing leads the way with her dual guns, using Eagle Eye to scan the surroundings: "I received a secret order. If betrayal occurs, take you here imdiately. The instruction I got was that if You Ying Group betrays us, upheaval will happen within the Ether Association. Our task is to preserve our strength."

On their journey, they’ve encountered nurous Ancient God Seeds’ attacks and are already battered and exhausted.

If it weren’t for Dawn’s strong support, they’d have been wiped out long ago.

"If that’s the case, shouldn’t we protect Thunder even more?"

Dawn asked, puzzled.

Ji Xiaoyu had fallen asleep on his back; throughout the journey, this troubleso child blocked many dangers for the team.

"Thunder doesn’t need our protection."

Lu Qingqing confidently said: "She has a boyfriend."

Everyone exchanged smiles; in such harsh conditions, an appropriate joke can lighten the mood.

After all, the gossip between Qilin and Thunder is now widely known.

How did Qilin break through the Fifth Rank? They slept with Thunder!

And how did Thunder survive? She slept with Qilin!

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, intertwining scorching patterns lit up in the darkness, accompanied by a sigh. The fractured sunlight pierced through the thick soil, making it hard for them to open their eyes.

"What happened?"

"I think I just felt the President’s power? Is order clashing with darkness?"

"Sothing’s off, the President has never been this weak!"

Undeniably, the President is the sun in each of their hearts.

If the sun’s brilliance fades, for them, it’s the collapse of belief.

At this mont, Ji Xiaoyu suddenly woke up from her sleep and unexpectedly burst into tears, saying through sobs: "I dreamt that Grandmother was trapped by a tree!"

Everyone was shocked.

Lord ng and Nightmare quickly grabbed her small head; proficient in divination and spirituality, in the domain of mysticism, a child’s intuition is particularly sharp and valuable.

Especially with such direct blood relations.

Moreover, the Ji Family is the oldest Ascender Family; such sensing is nearly infallible.

Lu Qingqing abruptly raised her twin guns, pointing to the deepest darkness, vigilant.

"Don’t move, it’s ."

From the dark, a pair of hands protruded, pressing down her guns.

Lu Zicheng poked his head from the rocky cave, a lollipop dangling from his mouth.

Firelight flared up, illuminating a cold and elegant face.

"We’ve been waiting here for you for quite a while."

Chen Qing calmly said: "Listen to

next; we have a tough battle ahead."

The action group mbers collectively stared, for they saw a petite and adorable figure in the team.

It was the long-unseen Lu Zijin, and her charming face showed none of her forr laziness but rather reflected a fiery color akin to molten iron, strikingly haunting.

Facing everyone’s questioning, she only responded with two words:

"King!"

Ji Xiaoyu raised her head in confusion, realizing this sister’s gaze was upon her.

Like seeing the last hope.

Gu Jianlin hurriedly returned to the camp; here was the deepest part of the Hidden Dragon Bone. Through the rain, a distinct semi-outline was faintly visible, undoubtedly that upside-down pyramid.

According to Jiang Chunyang’s plan, tonight should continue toward the Divine Ruins, but unforeseen events halted it.

It was a towering Golden Ancient Tree, its crown had already reached the sky’s zenith, leaving only the trunk perated with golden patterns spanning the world. Its brilliance was so bright, illuminating the night to an extent that even the rain took on an intense hue, and countless molten lava-like patterns erged on the ground.

No doubt, this ought to be the Candle Light Divine Tree.

Yet, for so reason, seeing this ancient tree evoked a strong sense of unease in him.

He even shed tears unconsciously.

Not realizing it himself, mistaking it for rainwater.

"That’s the Candle Light Divine Tree."

Skylark whispered in his heart: "The sleeping ancient tree has awakened, particularly at this mont. If I’m not mistaken, this should be related to your supre elder. She’s dead, thus the ancient tree has revived."

Gu Jianlin vaguely recalled the President had ntioned she was suppressing sothing.

Could it truly be the Candle Light Divine Tree?

He didn’t know.

"Mr. Si, hurry up."

Dr. Aaron urged: "For so reason, after the ancient tree appeared, the old Family Head’s condition is very poor."

Gu Jianlin composed himself and continued toward the central tent of the camp, quietly asking in his heart: "Are you sure there’s no error in your operation? Jiang Chunyang must die; I won’t allow anyone to survive to obtain what’s in the Divine Ruins."
