Chapter 1077: Chapter 654: Jinguji Maki’s Protector (Part 3)

Before she even got close, she saw several shadows flicker in the darkness of the shadows.

A sense of crisis came over her, stopping her from moving forward.

"Strange," Li Tongyun mused, "Could it be that after Kunlun landed on the island, they didn’t explore or clear this forest? It feels like a Taboo Land; it’s making me uneasy."

Jinguji Maki was still learning Chinese. She cheerfully repeated after Li Tongyun: "Uneasy!"

Li Tongyun looked at her in exasperation: "Don’t learn that."

"Oh," Xiao Zhenji nodded.

At this moment, XiaoTongyun took out her phone and showed it to Xiao Zhenji: "Mountain, I need a mountain over ten meters high, just like in this photo."

Xiao Zhenji understood, and in the next moment, a mountain over ten meters high suddenly appeared before them, with a platform and a big tree on top.

This mountain was particularly strange because it had one side that was almost smooth and flat, with only a few cracks to provide leverage.

Li Tongyun took out another photo: "A hemp rope; I need a 40-meter hemp rope."

Xiao Zhenji manifested it again.

Li Tongyun carefully tied a safety knot on Xiao Zhenji with the hemp rope, then she climbed up the mountain easily, tied one end of the rope to the tree, and stood on the edge of the small mountain.

"Recently, you’ve watched a lot of climbing tutorials. Let’s start the formal training now. Zhenji, you said you want to become as strong as your mentor and help him, but that requires real action," Li Tongyun said earnestly. "Now, you have the strength of an adult, so let’s begin. Remember, your mentor is in a situation where he really needs teammates, and there aren’t many people in the world he can truly trust."

Zhenji somewhat understood but grasped the essence of Li Tongyun’s message.

She manifested some magnesium powder, took a deep breath, and started climbing the cliff. Her small figure stumbled along the mountain.

Watching videos and practicing are entirely different things.

Some things seem simple but require continuous training to master; it’s commonly said that your brain knows, but your hands haven’t learned.

Li Tongyun stood attentively on the cliff, holding the safety rope, not daring to relax for even a moment.

Last night, Qing Chen had sent them Zhi Lanxing. In principle, Li Tongyun should be racing against time to practice, but she knew Qing Chen didn’t have time to train Xiao Zhenji anymore, so it was up to her.

Therefore, she decided to spend 8 to 10 hours every day helping Jinguji Maki grow.

After a day, Jinguji Maki was covered in wounds.

She leaned in Li Tongyun’s arms, sobbing in the sunset on the mountain, while XiaoTongyun chewed up Chicken Blood Sprout and carefully applied it to her wounds.

Li Tongyun looked at the wounds and said calmly, "Back when your mentor trained, the conditions were much harsher than now. There was no medicine, no one to help with a safety rope, no Immortality fruits. You have adult strength but a small body, which gives you an advantage in climbing. But having an advantage means you have to work harder."

Xiao Zhenji nodded tearfully, clenching her small fist: "Work hard!"

Li Tongyun continued, "Your mentor is someone who likes to shoulder things alone. I know he’s currently under siege by the Chen’s Army; I know he just sent off his brother, but he grits his teeth and says nothing to us. Do you know why? Because we are still too weak; even if he told us, it wouldn’t help. Zhenji, we are still too weak."

Li Tongyun: "Actually, I’m not very concerned about others’ lives and deaths. As long as everyone in the Daytime is well, that’s enough. Remember, Zhenji, from today onwards, I am your Protector. Until you overcome those life-and-death challenges, anyone wanting to kill you must kill me first. Let’s go back to the dormitory; we continue tomorrow."

Xiao Zhenji nodded, wiped her tears, and said firmly: "Work hard!"
