Trapped

After giving Luis the pill, Zhou Mubai paused for a moment and tossed him another one as a backup.

Luis swallowed the pill in one gulp.

Immediately, the oppressive presence of the evil spirit ceased, as if a protective barrier now shielded him from its attacks.

Zhou Mubai also took a pill and said, "Brother Luis, be careful."

"Don't worry, Brother Zhou," Luis replied with a nod.

Although he wasn't sure how many evil spirits inhabited the island or how strong they were, he remained confident in his abilities and the vortex behind him. Moreover, with Zhou Mubai around, even encountering a Golden Core-level evil spirit wouldn't be disastrous—they could always retreat safely.

With the pill's effects taking hold, the two decided not to waste time. They dashed straight toward the Zhao family's spiritual vein.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Luis and Zhou Mubai refrained from flying and instead ran on the ground like ordinary warriors.
