Chapter 137
“Crackle!”
Another huge bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, temporarily illuminating the pitch-black night as if it was daytime. It also rendered the curtain of rain in the sky even more crystalline, making it look dreamy and illusory.
“Roar!”
The yellow dog that was sleeping soundly suddenly woke up and stood up abruptly. It let out a low, warning growl towards the entrance of the cave. The mixed fur on its body stood up, and its body was rapidly growing. In just a short moment, the yellow dog had transformed into the mighty Lion King that was ten and a half feet tall. A powerful aura gushed out from it.
“The pursuers are here?”
Xiao Chen, who was in the middle of recuperating, was startled awake by Da Huang’s abnormality. He had no choice but to exit his cultivation state and stand up. Although his movements weren’t very nimble, he could still stand firmly.
He glanced at the transformed Da Huang and followed Da Huang’s gaze to the rainy night that had already returned to its original pitch-black state. His expression turned grim. Although he didn’t sense any danger outside, he believed in Da Huang’s senses. Da Huang’s senses were even more monstrous than his own and even more sensitive than a hunting dog’s.
“Run!”
From Da Huang’s fearful expression, Xiao Chen knew that there must be an extremely powerful enemy coming from afar. Otherwise, Da Huang wouldn’t even bother to transform. Xiao Chen guessed that it might be the Sha Clan’s Patriarch, Sha Potian, who was chasing after him personally. His expression instantly changed. With a cold shout, he didn’t bother to continue recuperating and directly followed Da Huang into the curtain of rain.
If he didn’t escape now, this cave might very well become his grave. No matter how strong Da Huang was, he was already injured and couldn’t engage in a big battle. If he was trapped in this small cave by the experts of the Sha Clan, he would definitely die tonight. “Swish! Swish!”
“Xiu!” “Xiu!”
Xiao Chen’s body had recovered quite a bit. Although running would cause his wounds to sting slightly, it was still bearable. He did not ride Da Huang, but instead followed behind The Lion King, Da Huang. It was not that he did not want to ride the Lion King, but the Lion King did not allow him to.
Because Da Huang was very arrogant, he wouldn’t let Xiao Chen ride on him easily. Only when Xiao Chen was seriously injured and couldn’t run would he let Xiao Chen ride on him. For example, during the time when they were escaping from Sha Di City to the cave, Xiao Chen couldn’t do anything about this.
“Eh?
So many people came?
Sha family thinks so highly of me?
Hehe. ”
Xiao Chen followed Da Huang all the way to the south. Soon, he sensed that there was a huge net woven by experts heading towards him from the southwest. He was slightly alarmed before he sneered.
After a while, Xiao Chen frowned and muttered to himself, “Strange. How did the pursuers from the Sha family find my tracks so quickly … There’s no reason?
Ah?
Don’t tell me they have the rare Soul-Chasing Fox? ”
“Motherf * cker!
Da Huang, turn east and go deep into the mountains. If not, it will be difficult for us to shake off our pursuers! ”
Xiao Chen could not help but curse. He grew up in the great wilderness, so he was extremely familiar with all sorts of desolate beasts. Naturally, he knew that the Soul-Chasing Fox was a desolate beast that was good at tracking. His mood immediately turned gloomy as he knew that something was amiss.
“Xiu!”
When Da Huang heard Xiao Chen’s exclamation, he did not say a word. He turned east and ran towards the mountains far away. Xiao Chen also circulated the Power of Desolates to his feet and quickly ran. However, as he was still injured and with the bad weather, his speed gradually decreased.
“There’s someone in front!
It must be Xiao Chen!
Quickly chase after him! ”
A man’s shout could be heard from afar. Clearly, the pursuers behind Xiao Chen had already caught hold of Xiao Chen’s aura. They were beginning to pursue Xiao Chen.
“Xiao Chen!
I have taken such good care of you, but you killed my grandson and my son. Yet, you still want to escape?
If I don’t slice you into a thousand pieces, I won’t be able to vent my hatred!
If I let you escape, where would the face of my Sha family be?
Where would the face of our Sha family be!?
Xiao Chen, you won’t be able to escape. Prepare to die! “Moments later, a powerful and domineering elder’s angry roar could be heard from behind.
The situation was bad!
The Sha family was really here!
Xiao Chen thought to himself as he began to turn anxious.
It did not matter if he died, but the Dragon Heart Grass could not be lost. He had to personally hand it to his grandfather before he could feel at ease. Even if he got Da Huang to bring it back to the vast wilderness, Xiao Chen would not feel at ease. If anything happened to the Dragon Heart Grass, the past few months of hard work would be wasted. He would die in vain, and his grandfather’s life would be in danger.
Furthermore, his grandfather had exhorted that Xiao Chen had to personally bring the Dragon Heart Grass back. If not, if Xiao Chen died, he would not live alone. Hence, Xiao Chen could not die. He had to live on tenaciously.
“Da Huang, please help me escape. My injuries have worsened. I can’t hold on any longer!”
Although Xiao Chen’s character was cold and he did not like to plead with others, for his only relative, his grandfather, he had sought help from a desolate beast.
“Wu!”
When Da Huang, who was running in front, heard Xiao Chen’s pleading, he turned back to glance at the exhausted Xiao Chen. He whimpered as a reply to Xiao Chen and slowed down his running speed.
“Da Huang, increase your speed!”
Xiao Chen understood and suddenly increased his speed. He leaped onto the Lion King’s broad back and grabbed the long fur on Da Huang’s neck. At the same time, he clamped his legs on both sides of the Lion King Da Huang’s body. He then shouted for Da Huang to escape at full speed.
If he did not escape now, when would he escape?
“Whew!”
Da Huang increased his speed and almost instantly reached his maximum speed. It was a high-grade desolate beast and had extremely high intelligence. Of course, it knew that it and Xiao Chen were facing a serious situation. It might not die if it did not escape, but Xiao Chen would definitely die. It had an agreement with Xiao Chen’s grandfather that it had to ensure Xiao Chen’s safety.
Although high-grade desolate beasts were ferocious and arrogant, once they submitted to a human, they would definitely abide by the agreement.
Da Huang had been defeated by Xiao Chen’s grandfather, so it was naturally convinced by Xiao Chen’s grandfather. If Xiao Chen’s grandfather requested for Da Huang to help Xiao Chen when he faced death, it would definitely do it. Even if it was no match for Xiao Chen’s enemies, it would still resolutely help. Even if it died, it would still risk its life to protect Xiao Chen.
This was the courage and loyalty of a high-grade desolate beast. This was something many humans could not do, but a high-grade desolate beast could easily do it. The human heart was sinister. Often, betrayal and schemes would happen between humans. Those humans were worse than beasts.
“Oh?
There are many experts lying in ambush in the east of Da Huang. Quickly turn north! ”
Xiao Chen’s eyelids suddenly twitched as his heart tightened. His eyes shot out a three-inch cold beam as his gaze shot towards the dark east like a sword. He let out a surprised exclamation before shouting moments later. This was because he felt that there were a large number of powerful warriors lying in ambush ahead, waiting for them to die.
“Whew!”
Da Huang had long discovered that there were people lying in ambush in front of them. It wanted to charge straight in, but it gave up after hearing Xiao Chen’s shout. It turned north.
Indeed!
“Chase!”
There were more than a thousand warriors lying in ambush in the forest three kilometers east. They were all powerful. When they saw that Xiao Chen did not fall for their trap, they knew that Xiao Chen had discovered their ambush. Hence, they no longer hid themselves as they shot out and chased after the escaping Xiao Chen.
“Ah?
There are pursuers in the north?
And there seem to be even more pursuers?
Are all of them from the Sha family?
It can’t be?
Motherf * cker!
Big Yellow, don’t worry about it. Turn around and head south!
Break out at full speed!
Kill anyone who blocks your way!
Kill anyone who blocks your way!
Charge! ”
After Xiao Chen and Goldy had fled a few miles to the north, they suddenly realized that thousands of warriors had appeared in the north and blocked their way. Xiao Chen could no longer remain calm, and his face became extremely grave. He wondered why there were so many powerful warriors in the Sha Clan.
He roughly estimated that there were at least three thousand martial artists in three directions. Even if the Sha family was more powerful, it was impossible for them to have three to four thousand powerful martial artists, right?
It was currently a pitch-black night. Xiao Chen’s vision might be able to see several hundred meters, but he couldn’t see anyone more than a kilometer away. He could only rely on his super perception to vaguely sense the approximate number of enemies ahead. Even so, the number of enemies he sensed was a little frightening.
Right now, Xiao Chen still didn’t know that Sha Potian had already ordered all the clans in the Sha Thearch City to participate in the operation to capture and kill Xiao Chen. As for the other experts from the Sha God Tribe, they still couldn’t make it in time.
If all the dispatched martial artists arrived, the total number of martial artists would definitely exceed ten thousand or even tens of thousands. Tens of thousands of martial artists could be described as overwhelming. At that stage, even if Xiao Chen became a true Purple Image Realm expert, he would still die without a doubt.
“This … countless experts have also appeared in the south. Da Huang, we have been surrounded. I finally understand. These pursuers are definitely not all from the Sha Clan. If I didn’t guess wrongly, Sha Potian has mobilized the entire Sha Thearch City and even the entire Sha God Tribe to pursue and kill me. Sha Potian is so awe-inspiring. The Sha Clan is really going all out!”
Withstanding the pressure from the pursuers in the east, west, and north, Xiao Chen and Da Huang sprinted ten kilometers to the south. Xiao Chen was shocked to discover more than a thousand pursuers had appeared in the south as well. His heart instantly felt powerless.
At this moment, he thought through the doubts in his heart. He had shockingly become the public enemy of the entire Sha God Tribe and would be pursued by countless experts.
