Chapter 235 This Is a Tough Battle

Finished

Isolde thought this was not the time to take shelter from the rain because the farther they went, the better. There was no place nearby to take cover anyway, so she said, “Let’s keep going. We’ll find a place to shelter in about an hour.”

Although the village chief was a martial artist, he was quite old. After walking through the night in the heavy rain, he was exhausted. Hearing Isolde’s words, he became very displeased. “It’s not that we’re not walking. we’re just taking a short break. You’re young and can keep going, but how many people in the village are old? Can’t you show some consideration for them? Having great martial skills is one thing, but having virtue is what truly matters.”

Isolde looked at the sea of people in front of her, with complaints rising and heavy breaths filling the air. They were indeed all truly tired.

Isolde hardened her heart and shouted, “Don’t stay. Leave immediately.”

Then she turned to the village chief and said, “It’s said that the people of Rustwood always keep their word. Since you agreed that if you lost, you would follow my orders, you must listen to me now.”

The village chief was so angry. “You little girl, your heart is too cruel.”

The people of Rustwood did indeed keep their word. Despite their resentment, they continued moving forward.

The rain didn’t stop, but the wind had clearly died down. Still, everyone was exhausted, and they walked very slowly while carrying heavy loads,

“Did anyone hear that sound?” Gerald, who had just fought with Isolde, suddenly stopped and shouted.

However, he didn’t use his internal energy to project his voice, so not everyone could hear it clearly. Instead, there was a rumbling sound that came from afar.

Isolde quietly cursed under her breath. She quickly leaped up to a tree while still holding the child and looked into the distance, but everything was pitch black, and she couldn’t see a thing. Using her internal energy, she sent a message, “Hurry up, the mountain is collapsing.”

The rumbling sound grew louder, and the ground trembled. The shake was very clear, and everyone could feel it.

“Oh my God, the mountain is really collapsing, run!” someone screamed.

Isolde shouted sternly, “Don’t panic, do not panic! Don’t run, keep moving in the same order as before!”
