Outside the valley, Zhao Manyan was able to locate Mo Fan with the badge of the national team. However, before he could reach the middle of the valley, he suddenly saw Mo Fan rapidly approaching him.
”Lingling, look, I told you Mo Fan is fine. He's heading toward us. He seems pretty eager to see us. He's moving pretty fast!” Zhao Manyan said to Lingling with a smile.
”It's not a smart choice to expend your energy just to travel quicker,” Shao Ru said.
They were still in Outer Mount Kunyu. There was still danger around. Any experienced Hunter would not use their energy just to travel quicker!
”Now that you mention, Mo Fan is indeed moving a little too fast...” Zhao Manyan nodded.
The group continued forward. Ten minutes later, there was a huge movement ahead. It felt like something was sprinting swiftly in the valley, it even split the grass part like a wave.
”It's Mo Fan!” Zhao Manyan noticed his badge was shining brightly. It meant Mo Fan was very close to him.
The grass split apart. A man panting heavily with a red face showed up in front of them. However, it seemed like Mo Fan had no clue that the group was trying to regroup with him. He maintained his speed and raced past them.
Zhao Manyan saw Mo Fan turning to the side and looking at them in astonishment.
Mo Fan could not slow down in time. He was soon a hundred meters away from the group. The rest of the group exchanged glances with one another after seeing Mo Fan running into the distance.
”What is he doing?”
”Did he forget who we are?”
Zhao Manyan was utterly confused. However, Shao Ru suddenly frowned. She used her Plant Spell to split apart the sea of grass ahead.
It broadened the view of the group. However, the muscles on their faces stiffened the next second.
A huge bunch of demon creatures was chasing after Mo Fan. There were the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows, the Salamander Tigers, the Demon Insects, the Kingkong Demon Macaques… the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows were in the sky uttering piercing cries. They seemed extremely angry. Their colorful tails were like a huge cloud moving rapidly. The rest of the species were sprinting on the ground and knocking the grass down like a huge wave!
”What the heck are you all standing there for!? Run!” Mo Fan's voice came from a hundred meters away.
The noise kept getting louder as the ground began to tremble. Zhao Manyan did not dare to waste a second further. He grabbed Chen Yi's hand and activated his magic boots before sprinting in Mo Fan's direction.
Shao Ru grabbed Lingling's hand and controlled the grass to form a long path for them to slide on, staying as far away from the enraged demon creatures as possible.
”What the hell is going on!?” Zhao Manyan yelled after he caught up to Mo Fan.
”You don't want to know. Let's leave this place first,” Mo Fan found it hard to explain the situation to them. They had to find a way to escape the demon creatures for now.
”Aren't the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows friendly?” Chen Yi asked.
”The creatures living on the Giant Purple Sacred Linden are all its slaves. Your grandmother seems to have decided to take the Giant Purple Sacred Linden down with her. It's not something we can interfere with. Let's hurry up and leave this place!” Mo Fan said.
As soon as he finished the sentence, an overwhelming aura surged at them from the direction of the Giant Purple Sacred Linden. The Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows in the sky lost their balance after they were struck by the strong wind produced from the powerful blast.
The wind managed to speed the group up like a push to their back. However, Mo Fan could not help but turn around...
Unfortunately, he could no longer see the Giant Purple Sacred Linden from his current distance. He could vaguely see the brilliance of the magic lighting up the edge of the sky. Yan Shi must have used a high-level spell. Otherwise, there was no way the energy it produced could reach ten kilometers away.
Mo Fan did not want Yan Shi to die. However, judging from the situation, if Yan Shi did not risk her life to fight the Giant Purple Sacred Linden recklessly, it was unlikely she could inflict any damage to the tree. The devil had been around for a long time. Even an entire army would have trouble taking it out!
Mo Fan did not expect to discover such a ridiculous demon during their adventure to Outer Mount Kunyu. It was impossible to tell how many corpses had been buried in this valley over the past thousand years...
”We're going to run out energy at this rate!” Shao Ru exclaimed.
The demon creatures had outstanding physical attributes, and were able to travel at high speed for a long time. Meanwhile, humans had to expend their energy to attain a speed comparable to the demon creatures. The sea of grass was boundless. It would take a long time before they made it out of the valley. As soon as they ran out of energy, the army of demon creatures would catch up to them!
The Giant Purple Sacred Linden was vicious indeed. It knew the creatures on the tree were unable to pose any threat to a Mage like Yan Shi. Therefore, it had sent them all after Mo Fan instead.
It would be extremely difficult for humans to make it out of the vast valley in time!
”They are too many of them. The terrain is too spacious here. We're all going to die if we choose to fight here. We only have a chance once we reach the ridges and the mountains,” Mo Fan said.
”Luckily, the others have already left first. Otherwise, it would be worse than this,” Lingling agreed.
