Ji Zan quickly retreated into the group, holding Fu Shinan’s body. Everyone stared in astonishment as the pythons suddenly turned on each other. Everything had happened so fast that, apart from Ji Zan, no one understood why it was happening.

Liang Xuanzhe couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Ji, let’s take advantage of their infighting and get moving.”

Ji Zan, still holding Fu Shinan with her eyes closed, kept his gaze fixed on the pythons. He replied, “No, the ones attacking the other two pythons are under Fu Shinan’s control. Right now, she’s defenseless, and her body is likely to get hurt.”

“Ah!” Liang Xuanzhe exclaimed in surprise.

Being able to control animals, what kind of incredible ability was this?

Ji Zan continued, “Fu Shinan possesses psychic control abilities, and they aren’t subject to any restrictions from other abilities. Just now, the two pythons released the humans because of Fu Shinan’s manipulation. If we rely solely on our strength, there’s no way we can rescue Nana and Fu Shinan from the snakes. ”

Liang Xuanzhe looked envious. “This is incredible! How did you all awaken these abilities? Why don’t Professor Zhao and I have any? Is there some special trigger for this? Without these abilities, we often feel like we’re dragging the team down. I can’t help but wonder if having abilities would have saved more lives…”

Hearing this, Xia Dong expressed her frustration. “Don’t even mention yourself; I’ve been waiting for so long, and I still don’t have any abilities! I’d be grateful for even the tiniest bit of power.”

He Zhu echoed their sentiments, gazing at his own hands and then at the pythons. “Yeah, having abilities would be great…”

While they were talking, the situation among the pythons changed again. Fu Shinan’s controlled python was now in a one-sided battle, quickly overpowered.

Ji Zan immediately became tense and said, “Fu Shinan won’t hold on much longer. We need to get ready to leave.” He swiftly activated his wind ability.

Fu Shinan’s body shuddered slightly, a result of the pain from battling the pythons. The pain distorted her features, but it also allowed her to regain her psychic energy.

Wei Xinyi had been closely watching the large python and suddenly exclaimed,

“Quick, let’s go! They’re communicating again…”

Ji Zan carried Fu Shinan and started running. The others followed closely behind. Under the influence of Ji Zan’s wind ability, they left blurred images in their wake. They were just a little over ten minutes away from leaving the mountains. Everyone silently breathed a sigh of relief. However, just at that moment, Ji Zan suddenly felt his steps become unstable, and the next second, he knelt on the ground. Even so, he managed to protect Fu Shinan from falling.

Fu Shinan had regained some of her strength and stood up, worriedly asking, “Ji Zan, what’s wrong with you?”

Before Ji Zan could respond, the wind beneath their feet disappeared. Despite their psychic abilities, they were still relying on their own physical stamina to run, and the younger members could keep up.

Ji Zan’s face turned pale, and he saw the concern in Fu Shinan’s eyes. He weakly waved his hand and said, “It’s fine, probably just overused my ability. I need a short rest…’

Even though Ji Zan was physically strong, using his ability on a group like this had taken a toll on his body. If it weren’t for the python attack earlier, they could have made it out. However, that had already drained a significant amount of his stamina, and now he was clearly struggling to keep up.

“Can your healing ability help?” Fu Shinan asked, considering using her healing ability to replenish his stamina.

Ji Zan couldn’t help but smile weakly. “I’m too exhausted for that right now.

Let’s wait a bit.” Healing abilities could only mend external injuries, and since it would rely on his own energy, it wouldn’t be of much help without stamina. He then instructed everyone, “My abilities are overused. Let’s rest in place for a while, but be quiet. We don’t want to attract any mutant animals.”

“Understood.” Everyone lowered their voices, some nodding in agreement, avoiding loud conversations.

Wei Xinyi remained nervous, constantly scanning their surroundings, which in turn made Shui Ling’er anxious as well. They both feared the sudden appearance of terrifying mutant creatures.

Fu Shinan gently petted Fu Gui’s soft fur and whispered, “Xinyi, did you hear something again?

Wei Xinyi replied anxiously, “There are two birds observing us from the shadows, and they’re saying we’re cursed! I’m afraid they might go and inform others…”

Man Yu gasped for breath, lying weakly beside Fu Shinan. “Why do they hate humans so much? We haven’t done anything to them. We’re just trying to find our way. There’s no need for such extreme hostility…”

Wei Xinyi shared her confusion, saying, “Throughout this journey, I’ve heard many mutant animals say similar things, but none of them have explained why!”
