Chapter 31 - Escaping from danger — 2"Sssii!"
It had never thought that this human who had been fleeing towards the outer parts of the forest would, at this moment, make a turn and rush straight into the forest. This person was either a fool or a madman.However, no matter what the situation was, after being stunned for a moment, Zhen Tianying unhesitatingly chased after it. This human"s cultivation was obviously not high, if he saw his, he would not flee, and since he wanted to die in the depths of Dark Forest, how could he not agree with him?
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
Xu Xuan did not dare stop for a moment, the wind attribute profound energy had been added to his feet, although he was not able to release it, it still made him feel that it was much easier to run. It was as if there was wind under his feet, and an invisible force was pushing him forward, causing him to leave behind afterimages in the middle of the forest.After another two hours, Xu Xuan didn"t even know how far he had escaped. However, at this moment, he felt that his body was almost unable to hold on any longer, and his clothes were already drenched in sweat.
"If this goes on, we"ll be caught sooner or later. At that time …"Thinking of Zhen Tianying"s sharp claws and thinking of Fei Mo"s death, Xu Xuan couldn"t help but increase his speed by quite a bit, but the current Zhen Tianying, on the other hand, had followed closely behind him. From the looks of it, he could very well catch up to him in at most another ten or twenty minutes.
Of course, this was also because Xu Xuan"s willpower was extremely strong and tenacious. If it was anyone else, they would probably have already surrendered from exhaustion.
"Swish!"
Suddenly, Xu Xuan rushed out from a shrubbery, but suddenly stopped, a gust of wind brushed against his face, causing him to feel extremely refreshed. The thin layer of fog that was rising up from the surface of the lake revealed a sense of tranquil beauty, causing him, who was sweating profusely, to suddenly relax after running for a while."Swoosh!"
It stopped and panted so much that it opened its mouth to take a few breaths of fresh air. It even closed its eyes to reveal a sense of enjoyment. The lake was clear, and the scenery here was beautiful!
But, in the next second, Zhen Tianying seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly opened his eyes, his extremely sharp eyes stared straight at Xu Xuan, as though he was expressing his evil intentions.
"Hmph, you big bird, come chase me if you have the ability!"
Xu Xuan was not afraid in the slightest, a slight smile even appeared on his face. Holding onto the black root fruit, he extended a hand out and pointed at Zhen Tianying, who was in front of him. After revealing a look of disdain, he suddenly jumped, and actually fell head first into the lake.
"Crash!"
A few seconds later, Xu Xuan appeared in the lake three meters away. He turned his head and made a grimace at Zhen Tianying before swimming towards the center of the lake, because when he was by the lake, he could vaguely see a small island through the thin layer of mist.
"Chirp!"Zhen Tianying cried out angrily, this human was too despicable, he actually dared to bully it because it couldn"t swim. The most tragic thing was that the injury on its right wing was incomplete, and it was temporarily unable to fly. Otherwise, even if Xu Xuan jumped into the lake, he would have flown over to grab him.
However, Xu Xuan"s complacent expression did not last for long on his face, before his pupils widened, and his expression became strange, there was actually fish in the lake.Having a fish was not scary at all. What was terrifying was that it was a type of fish that could eat humans. It was called a silkworm fish!
Silkworm fishes were rarely seen under normal circ.u.mstances, but luckily they were not too big, only the size of a human pinky. Silkworm fishes were rarely seen under normal circ.u.mstances, but the teeth in their mouth were extremely sharp, and they could slowly tear a person"s flesh to eat.
"Aooo!"Very quickly, a clear and melodious howl came out from the lake, announcing that the silkworm had begun its attack. This caused Xu Xuan to cry out in pain.
It was not far if he wanted to return, but there was Zhen Tianying, who could not bear to leave, waiting there. If he wanted to reach the small island in the middle of the lake, according to the route, he would need at least ten minutes to reach there.
Gritting his teeth, Xu Xuan finally made a decision and went to the center of the lake.
If he returned to the lakeside, he would definitely be torn into pieces by Zhen Tianying"s claws, and would definitely die. If he went to the island in the lake, as long as he could persist on the island, as long as he had a breath left, then he might be able to live relying on that mysterious Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade."Rip, tear!"
Silkworm fishes were very cunning. Although it was only a level one demon beast, as long as it was not a demon beast that could release Xuan Qi, it would only suffer if it met them, because this was their territory.
However, Xu Xuan was only in the early stages of Sixth Stage of Profound Qi, so if he wanted to release his profound energy, he had to at least have reached the level of seven stages of mystical Qi. Furthermore, he was still carrying the bag of black root fruit s in his arms, which made it difficult for him to counterattack."Hiss!"
Nearly a hundred small silkworms swam over, some even arrogantly stuck their mouth out of the water. Through their open mouths, one could faintly see more than a dozen small teeth inside.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Even if Xu Xuan was extremely determined, the pain coming from his arm, stomach and thigh caused him to sweat profusely, and the muscles on his face even started to contort slightly.These silkworm fishes were extremely powerful, actually only tearing apart Xu Xuan"s clothes and pants. Only after they had bitten a slightly larger hole would they directly come in and bite Xu Xuan"s flesh.
"I …"
Xu Xuan"s heart was filled with fury, and there were even more than a hundred thousand Gra.s.s Mud Horses galloping around. He could only use his legs to swim toward the small island with all his might, but he was already somewhat exhausted, and now that he was constantly being torn apart, he found it even harder to swim.
A few minutes later, blood kept flowing out from Xu Xuan"s arm. A large chunk of flesh and blood was devoured by the fishes, to the point where the bones inside could be vaguely seen.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Several places on his body experienced heart-piercing pain, causing Xu Xuan to be unable to hold back and shout out loud. From his expression, one could tell how painful this torture was.
Very soon, his palms were dripping with blood and it made him dizzy. Was it because he was tired or was it because he had lost too much blood? He felt very tired, and his eyes became increasingly heavy.
