Chapter 1252: Urgent Situation

"No!"

The system's response was very crisp and very direct.

A "No" devoid of any emotional tone, full of the temperament of a socialite!

"Heh, trash!" Xu Que also sneered like a socialite, maintaining a cold and aloof posture as he exited the system interface.

However, he had long expected this. If the system truly had a way to avoid this catastrophe, it would have been used in many dangerous situations in the past.

After all, this version 10.0 system was truly too weak and completely unable to keep up with many of the situations he needed to face now!

"Sigh, after finishing this matter, I really need to hurry out and fish for more Acting Cool Points. If I can complete the system upgrade within forty-some days, perhaps I can increase my chances of winning by quite a bit!" Xu Que muttered to himself.

The current situation was somewhat similar to the horror movie *Final Destination*, where one also knew in advance that there was danger, but the final outcome was difficult to escape from the Grim Reaper's claim.

The only difference was that the protagonist in the horror movie could know in advance what specific dangerous event was about to happen, but Xu Que did not. The only thing he knew was a time point: he would die in forty-some days!

"Tsk tsk tsk, during this time, I'll upgrade the system and strengthen my own power. Plus, with the two souls here, I truly don't believe anyone can kill me!" Xu Que's eyes narrowed slightly, and a glimmer of starlight flashed across his pitch-black pupils!

"Eh, no..." Suddenly, Xu Que froze again. A flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he summoned the system interface again. His gaze fell on the Hot Wheels, and he fell into deep thought.

Looking at the current situation, if there was anything that could kill him, it might just be these two souls!

After all, from the very beginning, he was not the offspring of these two souls at all. This was a misunderstanding—a beautiful misunderstanding!

"It seems I have to be on guard," Xu Que muttered to himself again.

Soon, Er Gou also figured out the clues to the hidden entrance of the valley.

"This Godly Venerable remembers now, that hidden entrance is over there, you go in from an ancient tree!" Er Gou pointed to an open space not far away and said excitedly, "But that ancient tree was dug up by this Godly Venerable, the entire mountain area is exposed, and it must be destroyed now, hahaha!"

Damn!

Xu Que immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to rush up and beat it.

Duan Jiude hurriedly grabbed Xu Que: "Kid, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. Beating it is too easy on it. Let's have stewed dog meat tonight!"

"Fine, bring the knife!" Xu Que had just reached out his hand!

*Slap! * Duan Jiude immediately handed a kitchen knife to Xu Que, then wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, his face full of happy smiles.

"Holy crap, holy crap, what are you doing? Don't come over, this Godly Venerable has trained..."

When Er Gou saw Xu Que walking toward it with a knife, it was immediately scared and started screaming, turned around and ran, darting into the nearby mountain forest in a flash.

Xu Que was too lazy to chase it down, so he threw the knife back to Duan Jiude and clapped his hands: "Time is running out, I can only selectively search in this area!"

In fact, his motivation for finding the Resurrection Thousand Gold Vine had diminished significantly.

Originally, he had planned to rely on those two souls to dominate the Heavenly Continent and do whatever he wanted there!

But that prophecy suddenly made him react and realize one thing: keeping these two souls by his side was highly likely to be a ticking time bomb. Who knew when they would discover he wasn't their offspring and just wipe him out?

This was an extremely dangerous matter; the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it was!

"This area is so large, I'm afraid it will be hard to finish searching in a month, especially some of the hidden entrances!" Duan Jiude shook his head and sighed.

Er Gou dropping the ball at a critical moment made him feel it was a great pity. If they couldn't find the Resurrection Thousand Gold Vine, those two souls could dissipate at any time.

"Perhaps... we can consider proceeding according to the original plan and go directly to the Shennong Clan!" Liu Jingning suggested.

"Eh, this method is good. Go to the Shennong Clan first, fish for a batch of Resurrection Thousand Gold Vines to stabilize these two souls, and then come back here to search slowly. Wouldn't that be fast and enjoyable?" Duan Jiude's eyes lit up, and he said happily.

Xu Que frowned slightly, feeling somewhat hesitant. Should he really keep these two souls? A double-edged sword was sometimes very fatal!

*Whoosh! *

Suddenly, the grass in the distance moved, and a black shadow darted out.

Everyone looked up abruptly; it was Er Gou running back.

This idiot was full of sneakiness, rushed over quickly, winked mysteriously at Xu Que, and shouted: "Kid, hurry, this Godly Venerable has made a major discovery!"

"A major discovery, is it? Come, come over here, I won't hack you! By the way, Old Man Duan, lend me the knife again!" Xu Que raised an eyebrow and reached out to Duan Jiude for the knife. Even if he couldn't hack Er Gou, he wanted this idiot to suffer a bit.

"Damn, stop messing around. This time there really is a big discovery. This Godly Venerable saw people from the Shennong Clan. They were setting up concealment arrays all the way, and also set up illusion arrays to eliminate the path they had walked. There must be something fishy in this!" Er Gou shouted in a low voice, afraid of being overheard.

Xu Que, Duan Jiude, and the others were shocked upon hearing this.

Damn, this idiot really did make a big discovery!

"Where are the people? Where are they?" Duan Jiude asked immediately.

"In that direction, several thousand li away!" Er Gou pointed to the back of the valley!

Xu Que rolled his eyes instantly: "In just that short time, you actually ran several thousand li away?"

"This Godly Venerable dares not say anything else, but my speed is definitely first-class!" Er Gou said proudly, and corrected him: "Not only several thousand li away, the point is this Godly Venerable ran a round trip, bringing clues with whip and spur. This requires a reward. This Godly Venerable wants to eat boiled stinky tofu and braised Duan Jiude tonight!"

"Get lost, eat, eat, eat, all day long you only know how to eat. Kid, Old Man, I think the top priority is to chase after them first, otherwise, it's very likely we won't be able to find those few people!" Duan Jiude immediately put away the kitchen knife and said to Xu Que seriously.

Xu Que curled his lips: "It's not that urgent!"

"Exactly, the methods of those few people are weak as hell. Except for a few Golden Core Stage and Imperial Physician Scattered Immortals who are relatively strong, the other few young guys and a little beauty are not the opponents of our Brother Que at all. And this Godly Venerable can see through their arrays at a glance and can catch up at any time!"

Er Gou stared at Duan Jiude with a smiling expression and added: "So, let's solve dinner first!"

"Hmm? Wait a minute, Er Gou, what did you just say?" Xu Que suddenly widened his eyes.

Er Gou froze: "Solve dinner first?"

"No, the sentence before that!"

"This Godly Venerable can see through..."

"The sentence before that!"

"There are a few young guys and a little beauty who are not Brother Que's opponents at all!"

"Let's go, the situation is urgent, we'll move over there immediately!"
