Chapter 61: Fleeing in the Middle of the Night
The faht fell, per tide The moon, which laid above the horizon, becalily, the Black Jackals below had disappeared Perhaps, in the end, due to their efforts proving to be futile, they chose to retreat helplessly
The forest at the moment was completely silent, with just the call of insects that echoed faintly from time to time
Lu Chen glanced at the streaain By now, the ruckus had already died down and there were no movements whatsoever
Lu Chen had an unreadable expression The face of the man hidden amidst the branches and leaves looked exceptionally cold and i appearance usually shown before others Under the faint ht, just as though a beast lurking silently in the darkness
Theand cold After soure suddenly dashed out fro obviously, she ran with all her htest about thorns that had hooked onto her clothes
Following suit, very abruptly, howls could be heard once again froly alar roars resounded, drawing closer to the area
Having heard the desolating calls behind her back, the black figure quivered She picked up her speed immediately, and in one breath, reached in the vicinity of the tree where Lu Chen rested
As the figure approached, Lu Chen peered down froure who had a slim build, a beautiful appearance, but a terrified look was actually Yi Xin
The young lady, at the ly entirely due to her will to survive, she had charged forward to escape with all of her ed to survive all alone by the strea the day
Lu Chen furrowed his eyebrows He peered at the darkness in the horizon and judged inated Then, after pondering for a few ainst the tree bark and slid down silently
The round, immediately, he felt completely different to when he was perched on top of the tree There was a certain darkness behind hih a pack of fearsome demonic beasts would leap out from within at any moment, and tear him into countless shreds Without any hesitation, Lu Chen turned around and sprinted forward In the terrains of the ile, and it was as though he were a demonic beast As such, his speed far exceeded that of Yi Xin, as still fleeing with all her ht before him
In just a fewlady
Lu Chen grabbed Yi Xin's ar heavily, Yi Xin released a piercing scream The scream sounded like the desolate call of an animal as it was ripped apart, and it carried the emotions of despair and frenzy as the ani around, she sent a sword straight toward Lu Chen
The sword created a piercing shrill as it traversed through the air It could be seen that Yi Xin had used all of her strength
Lu Chen stepped to the side, dodging her shile calling out in a hushed voice, ”It's me, Lu Chen”
As the sword stabbed into eered forith the acco momentum Just when she was about to send forth another attack toward the figure who had grabbed her, she abruptly heard Lu Chen's words At thatLu Chen, she pouted her lips and it seeh tears were about to fall ”Brother Lu, my Senior Uncle and Senior Brother…”
Lu Chen interrupted her snivel irabbed her hand, and dashed forward At the same moment, he uttered anxiously, ”Put that aside for now! We'll talk later after we escape”
Dragged by him, Yi Xin had no choice but to follow Lu Chen
After running for a distance, Yi Xin found soht her through the route which they took on the way up Instead, he had dashed in another direction into another zone of densely populated woods It was filled with thorns and bushes, and there were no visible paths whatsoever,to run in
After a short distance, not only were Yi Xin's clothes torn, four to five direct cuts had also appeared on her body
”Are we on the wrong way?” Yi Xin shouted amidst the panic
Without even turning around, Lu Chen continued to pull her forward At the saht, but with the Black Jackals around the corner, returning on the path we came from would be suicidal”
