Chapter 1174

At this moment, Elijah was so terrified that his soul seemed to have left his body. Facing this situation, he didn't even have the ability to protect himself. This time, he was definitely doomed.

Now he was filled with regret. He should have listened to his parents' advice and stayed at home obediently. Why did he insist on becoming a guardian of the Holy Land and come here to face death?

In the end, not only did I fail to meet the Holy Maiden, but I also lost my life here. Perhaps even my bones would be devoured by these wolves.

Now, Elijah had no trace of resistance in his heart. He had resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes, feeling the pain spread throughout his body.

A loud noise came from behind, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. After waiting for a while without feeling any pain, Elijah slowly opened his

eyes.

Upon looking up, he saw a young man, slighter older than himself, standing in front of him. The young man was incredibly handsome. Behind him, five or six weak wolves were lying down, whimpering softly.

"Are you all right?" Alex asked, extending a hand to help the man on the ground get up.

At this moment, Elijah was still in a state of shock. He had thought that he was doomed this time, but he never expected that the young man in front of him could actually kill these five or six wolves all at once. Such a skill was truly extraordinary!

"T-Thank you!" Elijah stuttered, looking at the scattered wolf corpses on the ground, still feeling at lingering fear in his heart.

Alex didn't plan to waste words on this young man in front of him. Instead, he asked straightforwardly, "You're also participating in this challenge, right? Do you know how to get out of this forest?" Elijah scratched his head with a slightly embarrassed smile and said awkwardly, "I got lost too. Did you fall behind the main group like me because you were too slow?"

To his surprise, Alex found that the young man before him didn't know the way either. As for the question. he asked, Alex just smiled and didn't respond.

"Do you have a map or something like that? If we can't get out, we'll fail the challenge, and I can't wait another five years," Alex asked.

"Map?" Elijah asked in confusion, then suddenly remembered that his parents had helped him pack his backpack today. Maybe there is a map inside.

Hastily picking up the backpack from the ground, Elijah unzipped it, and sure enough, he saw a map inside. He hadn't thought about this possibility before, but now he knew, thanks to Alex's hint. After obtaining the map, their progress sped up, no longer needing to wander aimlessly in this place. However, Elijah was ultimately an ordinary person and relatively slow in terms of speed. In order to reach their destination as quickly as possible. Alex carried him on his back, allowing him to experience what it was like to move at a lightning-fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, Elijah was able to deal with six wolves, proving that he was no ordinary person. Now that Elijah had witnessed Alex's incredible speed, he couldn't help but admire the latter even more. During the day, they got lost in the forest and wasted quite a bit of time. Fortunately, they didn't have to travel long before night fell, and they were lucky enough to catch up with the main group.

The preparations made by those people were very thorough, with some even bringing tents, while others. set up fires outside to grill meat. Elijah also wanted to fit in with them, but everyone here was in competition with each other. Who would really welcome anyone else? "Can't you see this place is already full? Get lost and replace somewhere else to stay!" Jordan impatiently told. Alex and Elijah.

It was the most dangerous time in the back of the mountain, as the evening was when those large, ferocious wild beasts go hunting. If there were only one or two people, they could easily become the target of these wild animals.

When the time came, there would inevitably be a fierce battle with those beasts. Even if one survived, they would likely suffer many injuries. And even if they were fortunate enough to avoid getting hurt, it would. still consume a lot of their energy.

The reason Jordan didn't want the two of them to stay with the group was to deliberately exclude them, as having two fewer people meant having two fewer competitors.

"Jordan, if the two of us sleep separately, we'll definitely be targeted at night. If we encounter that thing. won't we be doomed? Please, can we just stay here for the night? I'll give up on this challenge if I have to," Elijah pleaded.

In the Holy Land, serving as a guard for the Holy Maiden was something every man desired, but the most important thing was still one's life! If one lost their life, then everything else would become meaningless.

As for Elijah's answer, Jordan was quite satisfied. He then turned his gaze to Alex and asked, "What about you? Do you want to stay here with us, or do you prefer to stay alone?"
