Chapter 2177: Deep Abyss Space
The two hesitated for only a moment before realizing the reason.
Although they had sealed themselves off to prevent the scent of their bodies from spreading, and had changed their clothes so there was no smell of blood,
They had overlooked one point earlier: when White Robe killed Zimu, he had really put in a tremendous effort. For example, he had used so many pieces of equipment to bait out Zimu's abilities, he had used a tactic of trading injury for injury, and everything he did was aimed at the key to victory—the poison White Robe had placed in his own body...
Although he had won, White Robe was severely injured. The poison could be neutralized by the antidote he had, but his injuries were so severe that they were almost untreatable. It was only after he took medicine and Jie Su came to administer both internal and external treatments that he turned the corner.
Even now, he still could not fight; he could only move without difficulty.
Earlier, everyone had forgotten that White Robe's body had been coated with medicine. Although most of it had been absorbed by his body, there must be a residual odor.
That monster could smell the faint traces left by the three while they were healing. It was impossible that it had not noticed White Robe's scent.
Its retreat could only mean that it was not confident it could handle the three. If the three did not leave now, they might soon have to face an unknown number of these unidentified lives.
The three quickly moved toward a cave entrance they had explored earlier. This cave extended upward, which matched their judgment that this place was an underground cavern. Going upward would bring them closer to escaping.
