Dark Blood Path

“You go first.” Xiao Yu handed the unconscious Jiang Xiaowen to Han Kexin, “Hurry up and take her to a safe place.”

Without hesitation, everyone fled along the same route. While Xiao Yu, Wang Chao, and Jin Shi were responsible for blocking the rest of the monsters who were less affected by Xiaowen’s skill.

Wang Chao span with the huge battle axe in his hands as it let out a series of violent wind sounds. As a result, the saber-armed beasts nearby did not dare to approach easily. Jin shi’s right hand quickly turned into rock, and he held a huge shield in his left hand, resisting the attacks of multiple beasts by himself. The saber-armed beast was a peak elementary-level monster. It was tough to deal with if you were on your own, and so as the two of them complemented each other with one attacking and the other defending, they could barely resist one or two monsters with their cooperation. Finally, Xiao Yu forced some of the injured monsters to flee, and the three of them retreated when the others had run far enough.

Saber-armed monsters were more threatening inside the forest, and they just wandered around, as they had no sense of territory, relying on their agility and ferocious nature to roam and hunt in the woods. In addition, they were creatures that lived in groups, ranging from as few as five or six to hundreds or perhaps a few hundreds. When this huge number of monsters approached, it would feel like locusts were crossing the border; even first and second-order monsters would have to avoid them temporarily.

This bunch of saber-armed beasts numbered around fifteen. If Xiao Yu was in his best condition and Han Kexin and the others wholeheartedly assisted him, they could barely deal with the monsters, though at least half of the others would die. And so, it was not a rational decision to fight it out, especially now that Xiao Yu’s body was covered in scars while his usage of the ‘eyes of insight’ was nearing its limit.

Fortunately for them, the monsters’ assault just now was mainly to obtain prey; they did not just kill for the sake of killing as some other creatures do. Therefore they will not pursue their prey as aggressively. Especially after killing four individuals, the monsters were too hungry to give up the prey they had just slain just to chase the others.

Everyone escaped as smoothly thanks to the monsters’ hunting practices, and the crisis was finally resolved, while the over twenty people had already run more than ten miles away. Wang Chao released his berserk state and sat down, panting. He had almost a dozen scratches on his body, many of which were potentially fatal. Jin Shi had several injuries as well, but his situation was much better.

“Blood Sacrifice!”

Han Kexin inserted her hand into the body of a sika deer the others had hunted, sucking out all of its blood in an instant. Countless blood particles surrounded her, forming a red mist. When she drew her white hand, the blood covered Wang Chao and penetrated into the wound on his body. The gaping wounds were gradually closing, and alhough they did not completely heal, they did stop bleeding, at least.
