CHAPTER 286: CHAPTER 286: A GROUP OF SMART PEOPLE (THIRD UPDATE)

"This..."

Qin Zi’s expression froze, looking somewhat confused, a bit panicked, and a little awkward.

That feeling.

It’s like trying to act cool in front of a pure young girl, turning to leave stylishly, only to... get caught by the police.

Caught on the spot.

Beep, show-off detected!

It’s not just losing face; it’s like falling flat on your face!

"How could this be? The super teleportation talisman that dad gave me, said to be able to teleport millions of miles, how could it fail?"

He was extremely anxious.

Then he pulled out another identical jade talisman, comforting himself, "Maybe the first one was faulty, let’s try again!"

"Crack!"

The second jade talisman was crushed.

Still, nothing happened.

"This..."

Qin Zi’s forehead began to sweat because he knew that if he couldn’t leave today, the consequences were unthinkable.

"Calm down, I need to calm down!"

"Maybe the first two were bad, luckily, dad gave me three in total, just to prevent these two situations."

"I, Qin Zi, have always had great luck, and a big fate; I don’t believe my luck will be that bad this time!"

He roared inwardly, then resolutely crushed the third jade talisman, making his last ditch effort.

However, it was in vain.

Because this wasn’t a matter of luck; after all, no matter how lucky you are, you can’t win the lottery with a newspaper.

At the very least, you need a lottery ticket!

And Qin Chuan, as a loving father who personally sent his son into the dragon’s den, how could he possibly give his son a teleportation talisman?

A strict father who hopes his son will become a dragon would never allow his son to become a deserter; he must face the challenge head-on.

This is integrity, and family tradition!

"Haha, he still wants to escape with a teleportation talisman, what a dreamer!"

The holy academy genius Fan Zhongyan sneered:

"Beast God Mountain was modified by the five kings and has special powers sealed, how could a teleportation talisman work?"

Prince Qiongqi listened.

Oh, there’s such a thing?

Why didn’t he know about it?

However, to appear knowledgeable, he pretended to understand and said, "The most foolish people often like to act smart; if the teleportation talisman worked, wouldn’t we have thought of this solution?"

He sneered with mockery.

And when Princess Huan Die and the others heard this, they were also stunned — they really hadn’t thought of this solution!

But, to avoid being called "foolish" by Prince Qiongqi, they could only pretend to agree a little.

"Completely unrealistic!"

"Ignorance is truly sad."

"Ha, some people always think they’re smarter than others, not knowing they’re the dumbest."

Their behavior was utterly hypocritical.

Like a green tea pretending to be a rich girl, holding a scallion pancake, and when a real rich girl walked by and asked why she was holding a scallion pancake, the vain green tea, to avoid revealing her truth, disdainfully threw it away, saying it was given by some poor loser.

But Qin Zi.

After hearing their taunts, he immediately understood — the problem wasn’t the teleportation talisman; it was this place!

"Alas, miscalculated..."

He smiled bitterly and felt somewhat guilty inside.

Because just now, he had blamed his father, thinking the teleportation talisman was of poor quality due to his carelessness.

"I like to blame others when I encounter problems, thinking it’s all caused by someone else. If dad knew, he’d surely be disappointed in me."

He shook his head in self-mockery.

Then he looked down the mountain, his eyes turning sharp: "Since the teleportation talisman is useless, then I... will have to fight my way out!"

"Whoosh!"

Thinking of this, he directly leaped down the stairs below, and as his body surrendered, the pressure flowing down the stairs like a torrent carried him away.

He maintained his balance, standing in the pressure as he whistled downward, feeling as if he was surfing!

"Trying to escape? Stay!"

"Where do you think you’re going!"

"Leave the Beast God’s Heart!"

Prince Qiongqi and others shouted aggressively, but though they moved their mouths, their bodies didn’t follow.

"Attack!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Blasts of attacks hit the air, exploding in dazzling light, illuminating the sky.

Prince Kui Ox even jumped into the air, clasping his hands together and smashing them heavily on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

From a distance, it looked like an intense battle had erupted here — in reality, they hadn’t even touched the hem of Qin Zi’s robe.

Qin Zi couldn’t be bothered with these drama queens; after breaking out of Beast God Mountain, he prepared to rise into the air.

However, a giant white crane shadow blocked the sun, casting a pitch-black shadow that enveloped him.

In the center of that white crane shadow stood Princess Bai Lu, floating in mid-air, her snow-white feathered robe fluttering in the breeze.

"Do you really think you can escape?"

She stared at Qin Zi coldly and asked.

Qin Zi paused for a moment.

Then he replied in a deep voice, "I am not confident."

Although he had decided to make a desperate attempt, he knew very well that among the Beast Race Holy Institute, there were many Martial Emperor powerhouses, and it would be tough to escape.

"Since you’re not confident..."

Princess Bai Lu paused, then suddenly showed a brilliant smile on her face: "Why not ask us for help?"

"What?!"

Qin Zi’s jaw dropped.

The situation changed so fast that he couldn’t react.

"I told you the first time we met, you’re Brother Jin’s junior brother, which makes you my junior brother, you haven’t forgotten that, have you?"

Princess Bai Lu said with a smile.

Qin Zi nodded hesitantly, saying:

"But... I took the Beast God’s Heart you were determined to get, stopping you from completing your task..."

Princess Bai Lu shook her head, saying meaningfully, "But you also gave me a very precious gift."

Qin Zi was puzzled.

Princess Bai Lu smiled gently: "Brother Jin said, you’re his only friend. For you to call me sister-in-law, that is the best matchmaking blessing."

Qin Zi suddenly looked at Brother Jin not far away, finding Brother Jin smiling at him, waving.

"Let’s go!"

Princess Bai Lu’s expression suddenly became serious again. She summoned the silver great bow and drew the bowstring, and as dazzling light converged, a huge arrow shaft formed.

Qin Zi didn’t hesitate, skillfully hugging the arrow shaft, then the arrow shaft shot out with force.

"Buzz!!"

No longer restrained by the mysterious power of Beast God Mountain, the silver great bow’s true ability was unleashed, and as the arrow shot out, the space ahead rippled like water, swallowing the arrow shaft, making it disappear.

It was spatial teleportation!

After launching the arrow, Princess Bai Lu seemed greatly exhausted, her face turning pale, and she stumbled downward.

Brother Jin quickly flew over to catch her.

"Hmph!"

However, the next moment, a cold hum echoed, and outside the Beast God Mini World, the sky shook violently.

"Boom!"

A loud sound erupted, the space tore open, and Qin Zi tumbled out from within, looking pale.

He looked up and saw a massive face made of dark clouds form in the sky, majestic and vast.

"It’s the King Kui Ox!"

"Greetings to the King Kui Ox!"

"Salutations to the King Kui Ox!"

Seeing this face, the high-ranking experts of the Holy Institute were all shocked, then respectfully hailed and saluted.

Hearing this voice, Qin Zi’s heart sank to the bottom, feeling utterly chilled.

The King Kui Ox!

It’s said that this is a terrifying existence, not only possessing extreme formidable cultivation but also having almost no emotions, yet very violent, often able to torture people to death with a blank expression.

For it, killing is just routine, needing neither anger nor intent to kill; it kills whenever it wants.

In short, it is reticent and deadly.

"You think you’re worthy of vying for the Beast God’s Heart?"

The massive face in the sky said coldly, then suddenly opened its gaping mouth, swallowing down towards Qin Zi.

This one bite could swallow heaven and earth!

"Swoosh!"

And just then, a giant black claw covered in scales swept across, hitting the massive face.

"Boom!"

The huge face exploded into a sky full of black clouds.

At the same time, a bold voice rang out: "King Kui Ox, using this method to take away the Beast God’s Heart is against the rules."
