Chapter 597: Overwhelming Pressure (1/2)

Xue Wei had initially been bringing up the rear, but now that they found the increasingly dangerous pressure coming closer, he was using his transformed arms and claws to rip apart any scorpion that was in their way.

Luckily, the scorpions seemed to have entered a strange state where they did not seem to realize what was happening around them, and even when they were being brutally harmed, they did not even seem to register the pain.

”Don't fall behind!” Although Xue Wei was the one at the front, he would often look back to ensure that the others could follow, and was trying to maintain such speed that they would not be left behind.

While survival was important, he had no intention of running away on his own, but fortunately, the scorpions showed no signs of fighting back, so they easily created their own path of blood and flesh.

Although the group was able to flee at a much swifter pace when compared to the speed previously used when trying to escape the horde of scorpions, they did not feel much joy.

The pressure that was emitted from the unknown creature that was advancing on their location was enough to make them understand why the No Man's Land was known as a deadly area.

Although they had experienced great breakthroughs, and some of them had even shed their mortal bodies, they still felt the pressure emitted from this unknown creature, so they could easily guess that its strength would have, at least, reached the Emperor rank.

They were not naive enough to think that they could successfully fight with such a gap in strength, so they were eager to get away.

”It is catching up!”

Just as the pressure came closer to them, Lin Xiao's expression turned grim, and his brows furrowed worriedly.

Just as his words were spoken, a resounding screech reverberated through the land, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble.

”It has reached the scorpions!”

Luoluo had looked back, and her eyes widened as she gasped out a few words.

”It is eating them, run!”

Her words made all of them see a glimmer of hope, as this unknown creature had begun to feast on the scorpions. As long as it was stopped in its tracks for a short while, their chances of survival would increase, but they were also aware that they could not rest yet.

The final line of scorpions was quickly broken through, and their speed increased drastically, as they no longer had to pave a usable road.
