"We need to pass this," Xu Min said Determined he looked ahead and the other two just nodded their heads soundlessly Although they were all detererous than their previous trip trough the Immortal Valley

"There are mountains not far away fro at a chain of h up that they were covered in the clouds&xA0;

"If we can make it to those mountains then we should be free of this barren land," Xu Min continued and with a resolute step forward did hequickly followed suit However, as they moved closer to the mountains, it seemed the closer they moved to the mountain, the further away they seee of the Immortal Valley To be honest, their feet did not htest as theyus It takes a long time for it to reach the mountain Perhaps a thousand steps are just one step &x201C;No otten so far that he was not willing to give up now Thus he continued step after step forward However, nohappened&xA0;

They had already walked for a full day when Xu Min finally stopped His body was soaked in sweat his breathing ragged He had walked under the sun for a full day without a break The barren land had been unwelco wind had consistently blown sand and dust into his face, , Xu Min sat down on the ground and heaved a heavy breath of air as he conteht we should return to the Immortal Valley It is easier to relax in there, and ill be able to hunt for food" Xu Min finally decided with a sigh and stood up withone step towards the Iht he saw and instantly frowned&xA0;

At first, he was stunned by what he saw, but soon after, this stunned expression turned to one of gratitude
