Chapter 384 - Escape (2/2)
Lin Luoran smiles faintly when she sees some red flowers blooming brightly in the reddish moonlight and a large tree without canopy blocking the road.
She thinks she has found a way to get rid of that monster.
It’s very risky. The method is good but may put her in danger. She needs to plan it well.
Lin Luoran looks at the red flowers and bald tree. She has an idea immediately.
The monster chasing behind her has to take a while to come here. Lin Luoran takes this chance and hacks randomly at flowers with her sword. She also casts some Fire Ball spells. Later on, she hears something coming from the front.
Lin Luoran leans against the bald tree and hides into s.p.a.ce.
Without external support, the glowing sacred pearl falls on a branch. But compared with fire, its light is insignificant.
Fire phoenix and others are reproaching her for being so reckless. Lin Luoran is checking the wound on her wrist. It has stopped bleeding and become a scar. She doesn’t even raise her head.
“Do you three have a better plan?”
These three mighty of the past can only hide in s.p.a.ce and tell her what to do now. They feel a little embarra.s.sed because of Lin Luoran’s question so they just shut up.
Lin Luoran hides in s.p.a.ce herself and leaves the sacred pearl outside on branches. It is definitely very risky and will be really troublesome if a monster accidentally swallows the sacred pearl.
But this time, Lin Luoran is somewhat confident.
She looks at the wound and feels very thirsty after the jungle journey today. The smell on her body has faded out a lot. Now she is not in the territory of low-rank monsters so the stinky mushroom can’t work. Lin Luoran returns to her room on the second floor of the wooden hut. She takes quick bath and changes clothes. It is only eight minutes after she entered s.p.a.ce.
Lin Luoran takes a small jar of monkey fruit wine downstairs and drinks it. She finally feels the burning feeling in her throat disappears and the exhaustion of a day is washed away by the warm spirit wine.
She has a pleased hiccup. It has been ten minutes. The two of them should be fighting fiercely now.
The third party benefits from the tussle. Now she can go out and have a look.
A human suddenly appears among branches. The two monsters are so involved in fighting that they do not have time to pay much attention. Lin Luoran hides behind the tree and looks forward. One is a big centipede with a hundred feet and the other is a weird gigantic c.o.c.kroach.
Lin Luoran only takes a glance. It seems that everything is going well as she plans. She knows she can’t be greedy at this moment. The materials of the high-rank monsters are very unique but she has to survive if she wants to get them. She can’t escape whether the winner is the centipede or the c.o.c.kroach. Now it is the best time for her to escape.
Lin Luoran jumps down the tree and continues to go deep into the forest.
The monster like a c.o.c.kroach seems to be kind of intelligent. It is annoyed that Lin Luoran plots it with a trap. The c.o.c.kroach sees Lin Luoran disappearing in the dense forest quickly and it wants to chase her. However, the centipede is so troublesome that it is stuck in the fighting.
Lin Luoran runs swiftly all the way. Now it is about eleven or twelve o’clock at night. High-rank monsters in the deep forest all go to the edge of the forest for food. This is the best time for her to reach the mountain.
There are countless exotic trees and flowers in the forest. They are going out of Lin Luoran’s sight quickly.
She is finally close to where ants of Gold were. Regardless of other dangers, now she may have gotten rid of the c.o.c.kroach monster chasing after her all the way?
Everything is such a coincidence.
The centipede is the Rank Seven monster which Lin Luoran fought a few days ago. That day, she stepped on the red flowers living in company of the centipede so the centipede was annoyed and wanted to kill her.
Although she cut off a few feet of that centipede with her flying sword, she was still in a dangerous situation at that time. If there had not been two Rank Eight monsters fighting nearby, Lin Luoran could have not escaped last time.
She cut off the red flower and hid in s.p.a.ce. The centipede was startled and then the c.o.c.kroach monster arrived. It was the only one around so the centipede would naturally regard it as the “murderer”. There are so many connections. The Rank Seven monster which almost killed her last time actually helps her stop the pursuer now. This world is full of coincidence.
Lin Luoran’s mind is still not peaceful as she runs quickly.
Things go well all the way. At the first faintest glimmering of the dawn, she has been already standing under the high mountain.
Months of effort is all for getting closer here and then crossing this mountain. Lin Luoran doesn’t have the time to express her mixed feelings now. The sky will be bright which means hunting monsters will come back at any time.
She has to hide under cover for a while.
Lin Luoran looks around and sees a gigantic tree at the foot of the mountain.
