C11 (2/2)
Almost at the same time, just as Bai Chen and Zhou Weiqing started running, they saw a leopard type magical beast with black fur jump out from the forest behind them.
”Roar!” An enormous beast howled out from the magical beast's mouth. The roar was so loud that Bai Chen and the other two felt their eardrums hurt.
The Spirit Sect magical beast caught up to him, and with a pair of scarlet eyes, he saw Bai Chen and Yan Le. The magical beast chased after them.
At this moment, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't afraid. After Bai Chen saw the Spiritual school's magical beast appear, he carried Yan Le on his back and ran towards the cave at his fastest speed.
Bai Chen and Liu Ming were less than two hundred meters away from the magical beast and about the same distance from the cave. In this kind of life or death situation, Bai Chen's body was brimming with a strong power. Even though he was carrying Yan Le, his speed was even faster than when he was running around alone.
Bai Chen increased his wind speed to its limit and the Spirit Sect rank Magic Beast behind him followed closely. Moreover, the distance between them continued to close.
Seeing that the magical beast was getting closer and closer to the cave, Bai Chen's eyes suddenly flashed.
He adjusted all the spiritual energy in his body to gather at his feet and saw Bai Chen leap forward with all his might.
”Swoosh!”
Bai Chen's body was like an arrow that had just left the bowstring. He jumped into the air, carrying Yan Le as he fell down towards the cave.
Because the force was too ferocious, coupled with the fact that he was carrying Yan Le, it was easy for him to jump. However, it was difficult for him to land, so Bai Chen was unable to control his body while he was in the air.
Falling to the ground from a height of a few meters, even a body practitioner like Bai Chen felt an intense pain from this kind of fall. He felt that his waist was about to break, but the two of them did not have the mind to care about that at the moment. After falling down, they immediately got up from the ground and hid within the cave.
The timing was perfect. After the two of them entered the cave, the Spiritual school's magical beast also caught up.
This cave was very small, just large enough to accommodate Bai Chen and Gu Li. The demonic beast had chased them outside, but because the cave entrance was too small, it couldn't enter.
”Phew …”
After hiding in the cave, Bai Chen let out a long breath, cold sweat beading on his forehead and back.
If they had been even a second late and had been bitten by a magical beast, the result would have been completely different from what it was now.
”Bro, thank you very much. I, Yan Le, owe you my life!” After relaxing, Yan Le smiled at Bai Chen.
Bai Chen also smiled. Just as he was about to say something, a dull sound of something colliding rang out, causing the cave to shake slightly from the impact.
Bai Chen and Bai Chen, who had just calmed down, didn't even have the time to enjoy themselves before they immediately tensed up again. The two of them hurriedly looked towards the outside of the cave.
He saw that the Spirit Sect magical beast was using its strong body to ram into the cave. Every time the magical beast collided, the entire cave would shake and pieces of stone would fall from the ceiling.
”Not good, it seems like this beast is really anxious. If he were to be knocked into this cave, I'm afraid that he won't be able to hold on for long!” Yan Le said with a solemn expression.
Although these words were somewhat unpleasant to hear, this was indeed the case. That Magical Beast possessed the strength of a Spirit Sect and would not last long before being smashed into a small cave like this. At that time, the two of them would truly have no way out.
”What should I do!?”
Not only him, Bai Chen was also very anxious at this moment. This cave was only this big, and there was no other exit connected at the back. If that magical beast really did break open the cave entrance and enter, both Bai Chen and Bai Chen would be like turtles in a jar, waiting to be slaughtered.
Bai Chen quickly stood up from the ground. In that instant, he had thought of many different methods, but they were all discarded in the end. In this situation, no matter what he did, they were all useless.
He had just started cultivating, and he already encountered such a life and death crisis. Was the God really joking with him?
He had endured in the Bai Clan for so many years, finally being able to start cultivating with great difficulty. He still wanted to find his mother one day, and make sure that everyone who gave him face would look good, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation before he even had the time to do so.
All of a sudden, a thought flashed through Bai Chen's mind. He suddenly thought of the Echelon Tower in his body, and remembered how he had swallowed the Ink Lotus.
The reason why he was able to step onto the path of cultivation was because he had swallowed the entire Pill Demon Lotus last time. The great spiritual energy within the pill had been absorbed by the Echelon, and then he had opened the first level.
Bai Chen recalled these things and took out the wooden box containing the Three Colored Snow Lotus Grass from his bosom.
Bai Chen's eyes were glued to the wooden box. There was a hint of nervousness and unwillingness in his eyes. Of course, most of them were filled with determination!
Did he have to go through that again?
