Chapter 418: Fleeing
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
The Lightning Symbols and Kindle Flame Symbols’ explosions caused dozens of fierce beasts to panic like ducks in a thunderstorm as they fled everywhere. However, several fierce beasts were struck and severely injured as they fell to the ground.
The two giant pythons who were about to rush into the cave also realized the unusual situation behind them at this moment. Their cold eyes looked started. After momentarily stopping they turned to flee.
Fire was their nemesis!
At this time, Li Laoshan and Ji Shiyan, who were inside the cave, as well as the two bodyguards, also saw the scene outside. They were originally panic-stricken because of the fight, but the lightning flash and the overspread raging fire made them dumbfounded and hesitating.
What happened? Where did the lighting come from? From where did the flame appear?
At that moment, Tang Xiu’s figure finally sprinted into the cave entrance. His eyes were cold as he shouted to the four, “Abandon everything! Come with me now, immediately! Shit… there are too many fierce beasts here, and I can’t kill them all. I can’t stay here to protect you, either.”
“Tang Xiu?”
“Brother Tang?”
Ji Shiyan and Li Laoshan exclaimed loudly after seeing that it was Tang Xiu.
“Stop talking! Come out and follow me! We only have one way to escape. Whether we can escape or not will depend on your luck.” Tang Xiu shouted loudly.
Li Laoshan, Ji Shiyan, and the two bodyguards trembled. Shock and fright was all over their faces. They quickly came to Tang Xiu’s side. While looking at the dissipating trail of lightning and watching the gradually extinguishing flames, Li Laoshan hurriedly asked, “Brother Tang, what the hell are these monsters? They are too… too horrifying, completely invulnerable!”
“These are fierce beasts that have cultivated and turned into demonic beasts.” Tang Xiu replied in a heavy voice, “All right, I don’t have time to explain it to you. Follow me!”
While talking, Tang Xiu took the lead. Taking advantage that the fierce beasts were fleeing, he led the four to quickly escape. A few minutes later, a new situation caused Tang Xiu to turn quite helpless, as dozens of fierce beasts seemed to have reacted to them, following their tracks and chasing after them.
“You all run and escape through the old route. I’ll guard the rear.”
Tang Xiu took a few Kindle Flame Symbols and slowed his speed.
Ji Shiyan and the two bodyguards didn’t slow down, but Li Laoshan shouted, “Brother Tang, let’s go together! If we have to fight and this old Fatty must die, then I must die fighting together with you.”
“JUST GO!” Tang Xiu angrily shouted, “I don’t need you to fight by my side. You are too weak, you’ll only be a burden if you stay with me.”
“I…”
Li Laoshan clenched his teeth and unwillingly sped up.
Tang Xiu held Bloodguzzler in one hand, while his other held a few Kindle Flame Symbols. He looked at the dozen or so fierce beasts that approached. Without hesitation, he activated the Kindle Flame Symbols. In an instant, a sea of flames formed and the trees in the surrounding suddenly lit up.
And he… he turned away and fled without hesitation.
_Roar…_
_Auooo…_
The pack of fierce beasts was forced to retreat because the flames, however, several beasts who didn’t fear death dashed into the sea of fire. At the same time they withstood the raging fire, a blue mist sprayed from their mouths, scattering and extinguishing the fire.
After Tang Xiu catching up with Li Laoshan and Ji Shiyan, he immediately caught the duo’s shoulders. As his speed increased, they quickly disappeared into the distant woods. Two minutes afterward, Tang Xiu had carried the two for more than several kilometers.
“Keep running. I’ll pick them up!”
After releasing them, Tang Xiu turned back without hesitation. He then saw the two bodyguards fleeing with dozens of beasts on their tail.
“GO!”
The moment Tang Xiu grabbed their arms, he ran away without hesitation. He also used his mind to control two Kindle Flame Symbols to explode, blocking their path.
Time fleeted by, and after half an hour, all the Kindle Flame Symbols in Tang Xiu’s interspatial ring were used. He had brought the four to escape for dozens of kilometers and crossed two mountains.
“Brother Tang, it should be alright now, right?”
Li Laoshan looked ghastly pale as he panted. At this moment, his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead. He felt like he would lose his legs and die of exhaustion if he were to run anymore.
Ji Shiyan and the two bodyguards were not much better than Li Laoshan at the moment. If not because they were escaping for their lives, they would not have managed to get this far.
