"Xu Fan, I... I can't keep up anymore..."
Avril's spiritual power hadn't fully recovered and following Xu Fan in their breakout, despite being protected by him, had exhausted most of her energy. Now, supporting Lan Xinyi, it was natural she couldn't keep up with Xu Fan's pace.
"I'll carry Xinyi. Here are so elixirs to restore your spiritual power, take them while running!"
Xu Fan didn't hesitate at all; his mind remained incredibly calm, quickly coming up with a strategy.
Lan Xinyi was seriously injured. Being supported by Avril only worsened her condition, so Xu Fan had to carry Lan Xinyi while running! Though Avril had little spiritual power left, sprinting did not require much. Taking the elixirs should barely sustain her.
"I'm fine, I can still..."
Whether out of shyness or fear of burdening Xu Fan, Lan Xinyi blushingly tried to refuse. However, when Xu Fan shot her a stern look, she obediently climbed onto Xu Fan's back, wrapping her arms around his neck.
A fresh aroma wafted over, and Lan Xinyi's face turned completely crimson, the flush extending down to her ears!
Although they had broken through the Exotic Beast horde, the real danger was far from over. Xu Fan naturally had no ti to dwell on these matters. Without a trace of sentintality, he placed his large hands on Lan Xinyi's thighs and sped off towards the Eastern direction with Avril.
Behind them was a horde of thousands of Exotic Beasts! They resembled a tidal wave in the distance, rapidly closing the gap with double Xu Fan's speed!
What kind of feeling was it to have thousands of Exotic Beasts charging and hunting from behind?
Those with even a slight weakness of will might collapse directly!
"Xu, Xu Fan, although we broke through the Exotic Beasts, with this situation, we're still facing inevitable death..."
Avril's determination remained strong. Despite her inner fear, her speed was unaffected, yet her face had already turned pale.
"Don't worry, just stick close to ! With here, I'll ensure you leave the ruins safely."
Though Xu Fan's face was gravely serious, his tone was incredibly light, causing both Avril and Lan Xinyi on his back to instinctively breathe a sigh of relief.
The two won sighed in relief, yet Xu Fan's heart sank to the bottom.
Initially, in Xu Fan's plan, breaking out of the Exotic Beast encirclent seed difficult, but he hadn't anticipated it would be this tough!
The strength of a combined force far exceeded the sum of its parts. Hundreds of Exotic Beasts united could crush everything! Had Xu Fan not cultivated Divine Sense, he would likely have t a grim fate!
Even though Xu Fan successfully broke through, his strength was nearly depleted, leaving him feeling utterly exhausted!
He hadn't told the two won just because he didn't want them to worry! Whether he could win this life-and-death race was uncertain even to him...
What troubled Xu Fan even more was the intelligence each Exotic Beast possessed. Thousands of them coordinated like soldiers, making the cost of his breakout imnse.
Whether things would unfold as Xu Fan imagined was uncertain for him...
Wait!
Suddenly, sothing struck Xu Fan as out of place.
The Exotic Beasts previously controlled by Qing Xuan all had crimson eyes, devoid of intelligence, making them easy to handle.
Now, all thousand Exotic Beasts had intelligence, showing no signs of control.
Why then, were they relentlessly pursuing the three of them? Who ordered them? Strong as they were, why did the Exotic Beasts choose to comply without hesitation?
"Xu Fan! Look! We're about to be caught!"
Avril's trembling voice snapped Xu Fan out of his thoughts. Looking back, the Exotic Beasts were nearly upon them, their fangs gleaming nacingly!
"Grab my hand!"
Xu Fan reached out, tightly grasping Avril's small hand, and the spiritual power, restored from the elixir, surged, activating Luo Yan Step.
Swish!
The three of them appeared a hundred ters away, once again extending the distance between themselves and the Exotic Beast horde.
However, this hundred-ter gap was but a drop in the bucket given the terrifying speed of the Exotic Beasts! Though the trio's pace was swift, it couldn't compare to the Beasts.
Being caught was rely a matter of ti!
"Xu Fan, what do we do?"
Avril's anxious voice rang out. Xu Fan, without turning his head, held tightly onto Avril's hand and sped ahead like the wind.
"Into the mountains!"
Xu Fan chose the Eastern direction after careful consideration.
The Exotic Beasts' speed was trendous, and with his spiritual power unrefreshed, carrying Avril and Lan Xinyi made losing the Exotic Beasts on open plains impossible!
The East held vast, endless mountains!
While the terrain might slow Xu Fan, it would impede the thousands of Exotic Beasts even more! The rugged paths couldn't accommodate them all!
The most terrifying aspect of the Exotic Beasts, their formation, would collapse in these mountains!
"We're about to be caught again!"
Hearing Avril's shout, Xu Fan, eyes still forward, cradled Avril and leaped high.
Boom!
The Exotic Beasts behind crashed heavily into the mountain, creating a hole with their terrifying force!
Yet Xu Fan had already vaulted up the mountain, nimble as a monkey, leaping towards the summit.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A succession of roars echoed as each Beast, undeterred, slamd into the mountain, seemingly intent on shattering it!
The entire mountain shook; even the high peaks had to bow before these thousands of formidable Exotic Beasts.
"The mountain's going to collapse! What now?"
Though Avril had just sighed a bit of relief, seeing the frantic actions of the Beasts tensed her up again.
"Silly girl, the mountain is round."
While comforting Avril, Xu Fan circled to the mountain's far side, descending it with ease and heading towards another peak.
That was Xu Fan's plan.
Use the mountain to slow the Exotic Beasts and limit their mobility. Though they could still track the trio, scattered, they posed less threat to Xu Fan.
Roar!
A familiar massive beast roar ca from behind. The beasts, indeed scattered, surged in all directions.
