"Minotaur, I'm here to challenge Tongtian Mountain. Hurry up and call everyone else out!"
Li Xin's deafening voice transmission jolted the minotaur awake.
"Moo! Someone's finally come to challenge the Primal Heavenly Mountain! Snake spirit, White-Skinned Ape, get over here!"

The minotaur, Snake-Man, and ape-man immediately revived. They stared in horror at Li
