398 What a Dummy! (2/2)
That young man did not even turn his head when he attacked with a flash of light. The snake instantly turned into dust and dispersed in the air.
...
Gu Xijiu thought that the direction she chose was the right one! Because she kept teleporting towards that direction, the ferocious beasts in the forest were no longer as dense as before.
She managed to catch a breath upon her reappearance as no other beasts were chasing after her. The trees in the area were taller, and the gaps between the trees were wider compared to where she was earlier. There used to be lots of thorny bushes growing between the big trees which gave no space for her to land.
But those thorny bushes had already disappeared and were replaced by rugged rocks in grotesque shapes and weeds were not growing on them too.
When she was still in the sky, she had roughly measured the distance between the third peak and the second peak herself. It was about 40 km, and with her current speed, she would be able to escape the forest within four hours!
In a dense forest like this, she could not carelessly teleport because there were not only trees but also swamps that would drown anyone instantly. Moreover, there were Blackwater Bays and even bizarre blue flowers forest which was emitted a poisonous mist. Therefore, if she was not cautious and teleported to those places, it would be extremely difficult for her to get away.
To play safe, Gu Xijiu would scan through the environment before she teleported each time. Because of the darkness, she could only see up to a distance of about 500 meters. Therefore, she just teleported 500 meters each time.
In the dense forest, Gu Xijiu could not see the sky outside. Hence, she could only roughly estimate the time based on the number of breaths she took and thought that it should be around midnight by now.
She consumed some dried food and drank some water while calculating how long would she take to go out. Suddenly, she felt that her surroundings had become scarily quiet. The continuous howling sounds from the beasts earlier had now completely disappeared.
