She couldn't forget the voice of such a handsome man.

Before she could even turn around, Jiang Fan's voice rang in her mind again.

"Don't turn around, or you'll be discovered."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuhe quickly stopped herself from turning around.

etc!

Wang Shuhe belatedly realized something and was suddenly startled.

The voice just now rang directly in her mind, not in her ears.

This—this is telepathy!

Could it be that Jiang Fan's strength has advanced to such a terrifying level in just a few days?

Impossible, right?

Even if you took a rocket, it wouldn't be possible to advance from the Late-Stage Fourth Rank to the Early-Stage Seventh Rank in one go, right?

Furthermore, there are rules suppressing him within the doorway, so Jiang Fan's strength should be suppressed, let alone improved.

If we rule out that possibility, then there's only one other one.

The thought of another possibility shocked Wang Shuhe even more.

It was even more shocking than suddenly being promoted from the Late-Stage Fourth Rank to the Early-Stage Seventh Rank in just a few days.

Spirit Master!

The ability to transmit sound indicates that one is Great Psychic!

Having guessed this, Wang Shuhe, despite forcibly suppressing herself, couldn't help but gasp deeply.

The breath was so long and heavy that it almost caused her to experience oxygen deprivation and nearly crash.

"See? She's still very special to you. Otherwise, given your personality, why would you reveal that you're Great Psychic?" Ye Qizhen teased, raising an eyebrow.

"In this situation, you still have the mind to joke?"

Jiang Fan was speechless. While complaining, he kept his eyes fixed on the orange cat Ruins Spirit. If there was any sign that it would harm Wang Shuhe, he would stop hiding and make a decisive move.

"Anyway, things have already come to this point. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. If even you can't do it, then we can only rely on Lord Turtle. If Lord Turtle can't do it either, then we can only wait for things to turn sour," Ye Qizhen said, shrugging.

"You have a good attitude," Jiang Fan said.

"It wasn't as good before. Now that I've gotten used to setbacks, I've become numb to it."

As Ye Qizhen spoke, her eyes glanced at Jiang Fan intentionally or unintentionally, and the meaning in her eyes was quite obvious.

Meeting that gaze tinged with a hint of resentment, Jiang Fan replied, "Then you should thank me."

"That's right. I'll treat you to a meal when we get back alive," Ye Qizhen said.

Despite the jokes, Jiang Fan remained highly vigilant and kept a close eye on the stage throughout the entire process.

Fortunately, the orange cat didn't open its eyes in the end, its eyelashes stopped trembling, and it returned to its previous state, falling into a deep sleep without moving.

call--

Wang Shuhe let out a long sigh of relief, and her heart, which had been in her throat, returned to its place.

I was overjoyed, finally escaping a disaster.

Ge Lanshuo, standing to the side, frowned slightly. It was all for nothing. He thought that Lord Ruins Spirit was finally willing to accept his offering, so that their tribe would have a guardian deity from now on.

In their Ruins Realm, once Ruins Spirit accepts a sacrifice, it will become the guardian deity of the tribe for a period of time in the future. This is not a legend, but a real, unwritten, invisible contract.

"What a pity, just a little short." Ge Lanshuo sighed inwardly, then looked at the team. "Next."

Jiang Fan also breathed a slight sigh of relief. They had no idea about the Ruins Spirit. To be honest, even though he had already advanced to the level of Great Psychic, he didn't think he could escape unscathed if he made a rash move, especially with Ye Qizhen and Wang Shuhe by his side.

After Wang Shuhe, no one else could elicit a response from the orange cat Ruins Spirit. As the team was about to end, Ge Lanshuo's brows furrowed deeper and his face grew increasingly gloomy.

Is there still no suitable offering today?

Or does this Ruins Spirit not like humans, but prefer other kinds of food?

But he had already tried it with the Ruins Species from his own tribe, and none of them could elicit a response from it.

It looked like Jiang Fan and Ye Qizhen were about to get to the front of the line.

"I'll go first."

Before Ye Qizhen could speak, Jiang Fan stepped onto the altar first.

Even without Jiang Fan saying it, Ye Qizhen wouldn't have rushed ahead of him.

It's not that he's afraid of death, but weighing the pros and cons, it's most appropriate for Jiang Fan to go first, since his trump cards for survival are much more pitiful compared to Jiang Fan's.

As a man, his seventh sense told him that Jiang Fan's trump cards were far more than what he knew.

Although Ye Qizhen knew that Jiang Fan had many ways to protect himself, she still couldn't help but feel nervous.

Silently praying: Please, nothing bad should happen.

However, as soon as he finished thinking these words, he saw the sleeping Ruins Spirit's eyelashes twitch and its nose sniff.

Seeing this, Ge Lanshuo's hopes rose again, hoping he wouldn't be disappointed like before.

Below the stage, Ye Qizhen and Wang Shuhe both tensed up, constantly praying in their hearts that the Ruins Spirit would quickly fall asleep like it had before.

However--

The orange cat Ruins Spirit's eyelashes are becoming increasingly powerful.

Suddenly!

It opened its eyes.

Jiang Fan stood nearby, and the moment Ruins Spirit opened his eyes, he felt his breath catch in his throat.

Not for anything else, but for those two deep purple vertical pupils.

It wasn't just a simple, unusual color; rather, it possessed a mysterious, ever-flowing mist that, upon first glance, made one feel as if they were immersed in a vast galaxy, unable to extricate themselves.

Hahaha! That's great! Ge Lanshuo was overjoyed.

This was the first time he had seen the orange cat Ruins Spirit open its eyes. It seemed that the ritual would be a complete success, and their tribe would have a Ruins Spirit guarding it.

In this way, who wouldn't dare to take Ge Lanshuo seriously!

Some are happy, some are sad.

While Ye Qizhen and Wang Shuhe were filled with fear, they were also prepared to rush to Jiang Fan's aid at any moment.

Although they knew their actions were likely like moths to a flame, they absolutely couldn't bear to watch Jiang Fan be devoured.

Jiang Fan was also prepared to act at any time, and at the same time, he sent a telepathic message to the Little Turtle, hoping that it wouldn't let him down at the crucial moment and save his life.

The Little Turtle said, "I told you before, each Ruins Spirit has different abilities. Your grandpa doesn't know what this guy's abilities are, so there's no way to defend against him. If it's some kind of curse, he could easily kill you with just a glance. If that happens, don't blame me for not going all out; it's just too difficult to defend against. That Crazy Woman won't be able to blame me then, since I've already tried my best."

Jiang Fan "..."

Can one look be enough to make him say goodbye?

Can you please stop being so jinxed?

If what you said is true, given what just happened, he made eye contact with that orange cat Ruins Spirit, wouldn't he be doomed?

Just as Jiang Fan was thinking this, the orange cat Ruins Spirit suddenly stood up and leaped towards him.
