In a naturally formed passage on the other side of the Immortal Mountain,

Li Decha, panting heavily, supported the injured Han Yu, following behind An Wenshan.

An Wenshan held a phosphorus torch, struggling to move forward in the pitch-black, irregular mountain passage.

The passage was full of grotesque rocks, and the three of them had to tread carefully on the uneven stones. If they weren't careful, they could easily step on a sharp stone and puncture their foot, rendering it useless.

Moreover, they had to be constantly wary of stalactite-like rocks hanging from the top of the passage. Unlike stalactites, these rocks had needle-sharp tips. If they walked too fast and didn't notice, they could easily hit their head on the sharp points, resulting in a bloody head at best, or a fatal head explosion at worst.

An Wenshan was used to surviving in the wild and was accustomed to walking in such harsh environments. He had good stamina and a fast pace, quickly leaving Han Yu and Li Decha behind.

Seeing that he couldn't keep up with An Wenshan's pace, Li Decha tried his best to lower his voice and shouted at An Wenshan, who was gradually moving away, "An Wenshan, slow down! The boss is injured, we can't keep up with your speed."

The passage was very narrow, and the echoes in the narrow passage amplified the sound several times. Although Li Decha's voice wasn't loud, he was sure that An Wenshan had heard him.

However, An Wenshan ignored Li Decha and continued to hurry on his way.

Seeing that An Wenshan was ignoring him, Li Decha became somewhat annoyed.

"An Wenshan! Remember your identity. You are a member of the Z organization. Your primary goal is to protect the boss and complete the mission." An Wenshan was not affected by Li Decha, and his pace remained unchanged. He didn't turn his head but directly responded to Li Decha, "Don't tell me what to do! Among the five of us, Xiao Wu and Xiao Lu were my most trusted brothers. Xiao Wu was swallowed by your so-called 'water droplet' when he entered that opening, and his whereabouts are unknown. And Xiao Lu just sacrificed himself to save us, dying with that monster. What are you trying to say by questioning my loyalty now?"

Li Decha was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect An Wenshan to be able to calmly retort like this.

Li Decha knew in his heart that An Wenshan was right.

If An Wenshan's subordinate hadn't selflessly hugged the white-haired monster that seriously threatened their lives and fallen off the cliff, they might have already become the white-haired monster's meal.

But An Wenshan's speed was too fast, and Li Decha and Han Yu couldn't keep up at all. This wouldn't do. Moreover, all the phosphorus torches were in An Wenshan's hands. If An Wenshan left Li Decha and Han Yu's sight, Li Decha and Han Yu would become completely blind in this dark environment.

Li Decha complained, "An Wenshan, Han Yu and I really can't keep up with your speed. Can you slow down a bit? And the light source is getting further and further away from us, our vision is getting worse and worse, and it's becoming even more difficult to move. If you leave us behind and walk away on your own, how are we going to complete the mission?"

After hearing Li Decha's words, An Wenshan paused for a second. Then, An Wenshan stopped, turned his head back a certain angle, giving Li Decha a profile view of his face, "Li Decha, do you think I'm deliberately trying to get rid of you? Let me tell you, I have more experience in wilderness survival than you do. I feel that the white-haired monster might not be dead yet. If the white-haired monster isn't dead, then if you don't want to be chased by the white-haired monster, then hurry up and keep up with my speed, otherwise..."

Hearing An Wenshan's unkind tone, the fire in Li Decha's heart flared up, "You're standing there talking without any back pain. Han Yu is already weak, and she's injured. This road is full of sharp stones. How can she keep up with your speed? Why don't you hold Han Yu, and I'll lead the way?"

An Wenshan sneered, "Heh heh, the front might be even more dangerous. If you want to lead the way, that's fine. Let's switch."

Li Decha thought for a moment, thinking that he was not as capable as An Wenshan in dealing with various emergencies, so he might as well follow An Wenshan's idea. He didn't agree with An Wenshan's words.

Li Decha still felt that this problem had not been resolved, so his tone softened a little, and he said to An Wenshan, "Han Yu really can't walk fast anymore, we really can't keep up with your speed, please slow down."

An Wenshan remained expressionless and turned around to sternly say to Li Decha, "Li Decha, let me tell you clearly, Dr. Han's task for me was to help her find the meteorite. Although protecting her safety is also one of my tasks, it is lower in priority. I don't mind finding the meteorite with a Dr. Han who is missing an arm or a leg... Since Dr. Han's speed really can't keep up, it doesn't matter, I can slow down and wait for you—"

An Wenshan's tone changed, and a sinister expression appeared on his face, "But remember, if that thing isn't dead and catches up, I will not hesitate to kill you as a sacrifice, I hope you are mentally prepared for that."
