"It seems there's indeed something in this mountain."
Ling Yan was speaking to himself, but his words happened to reach Mu Yuan's ears as he sat in front of him.
Mu Yuan hummed in agreement.
Due to the rock-devouring monster climbing uphill, his body involuntarily leaned against Ling Yan behind him.
His back pressed against Ling Yan's firm muscles, and Ling Yan's warm breath brushed against his ear.
Mu Yuan couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple, trying his best to calm his mind.
The rock-devouring monster was a ring-shaped creature with multiple ventral feet. Its movement was relatively smooth when walking on flat ground.
But once it started climbing the mountain, its physical disadvantage was fully exposed.
The rock-devouring monster had to arch its body, struggling to climb upwards. Mu Yuan felt that if he were to get off and walk, he could probably climb faster than this monster.
