Chapter 597: Overwhelming Pressure (2/2)
The group's speed increased many times over, and they succeeded in opening up a large distance between the scorpion group and themselves, but they did not stop running before they had gone a long distance.
”Do you think that it can find us here?”
Although they had run far away, they were still able to be found if this beast truly wished to do so, so when Lin Xiao asked this question, his body began trembling slightly.
”It might, but I don't think it will be willing to spend the effort to chase after us. This No Man's Land is not simple, and if we keep running, we might unintentionally run into another danger zone controlled by some even stronger creature.
”Also, Luoluo said that the beast began eating the scorpions, so I don't think that it will need to continue to hunt after eating them all, so we should be safe. As long as we do not threaten it, and it is not hungry, then we should be fine.”
After considering their situation, they all agreed that the current location was better than looking for anywhere else, so they quickly began to settle down and restore their energy.
Even so, they did not dare to leave no one to guard, so while Xue Wei kept watch, the others began to cultivate and restore their strength, before they switched.
Their current location was not bad. There were no strong beasts or beast packs around, and they could easily rest and restore their health.
”We will stay here for a night. Let us get some good rest, because I fear that we will only encounter more and more dangers as we get deeper into the No Man's Land.”
Xue Wei had been the one to make the decision, but his reasoning was very understandable, and they all agreed.
Before entering the No Man's Land, they had stocked up on all the items that could allow them to set up a resting area, but they dared not take out any lights or start a fire. Although their strength was known to be extremely high, this place seemed to defy all logic, and their fire was likely to attract the braver beasts, which would destroy their intentions of resting.
During the time they had been traveling, Hei Gou had been quiet. He had stood by their side, but at the same time, he also seemed very distant.
His eyes were currently unfocused as he looked at the moon in the sky above. There was a strange longing in his eyes that Xue Wei did not understand, but he was also not willing to break the tranquil, but slightly melancholic, atmosphere that surrounded his good friend.
Although Xue Wei would like to help him regain his memories, he also understood that Hei Gou was no longer aware of their past together. Although some feelings were still present, Hei Gou was still not aware of what they had gone through, so he would not be able to fully understand the bond that they shared.
Xue Wei frowned as he contemplated what to do. Their team was relying on one another for survival, so he needed Hei Gou to feel the same connection that had become natural to the others.
