Duo Gan and Jing Yuexin hid beneath the Invisibility Cloak, slowly retreating as well.
Duo Gan was a little worried about First One's condition and could not help shooting her a questioning look. "?"
Jing Yuexin's face had gone slightly pale, but she still shook her head firmly. Rest assured, he'll be fine! She knew that when First One had rushed out of the Mystic Mansion, he had stated very clearly, "Only in Area 5... can one find life amid death!"
Jing Yuexin had indeed been a little puzzled at the time. You've already succeeded in forming a Nascent Soul—are you still afraid you won't make it through the thunder tribulation? Of course, she knew perfectly well that not everyone succeeded in tribulation; theoretically, there were more failures than successes! That was simply how the Cultivation World saw it.
But in the reality Jing Yuexin had encountered, everyone in the team who had undergone Passing Thunder Tribulation had succeeded, without exception!
So even though she knew tribulation carried risks and that failure would most likely mean death, she had never considered the possibility that Qu Jianlei would fail! Still, she had not hesitated at the time and had relayed his words directly.
It was only when she saw someone rush in that she understood where the danger First One had mentioned came from.
But she had not made a move. Even if she had, her reaction might not have been faster than her companions'.
She had always remembered something First One had said in passing. "Tribulation lightning may not necessarily be electromagnetic attacks. It could be the five lightning types of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth."
"There may even be Human Tribulation, Heart Devil Tribulation, Causality Tribulation..."
At the time, she had thought, Could this be a Human Tribulation?
