404: Chapter 323 404: Chapter 323 “Why, are you worried about them?
Humph…, they won’t escape, so just wait for death!”
The man in black felt that once they were out of this place, if they escaped, when he met those pretty boys again, he would kill the pretty boys and take those women as his harem.
“Humph, who’s worried about them?
Those who didn’t care if I lived or died, I’d like to have the chance to take revenge on them.”
Bian Shasha’s heart was somewhat twisted at the moment, having been captured and harmed by this man.
She now harbored no thoughts of killing him; instead, she wanted him to help kill her companions.
She might not have realized that her resistance to men from yesterday had turned into a sort of liking for this man today, no longer having that desperate desire to fight back against a man.
Bi Renchuan and his group felt some relief.
The giraffe-like creatures didn’t attack them, and seizing this opportunity, they also used their Flying Artifacts to escape.
They didn’t realize that others had joined the fray, invisible in the mist.
They could feel the giraffe-like creatures attacking others but had no idea who these others were.
At that moment, to preserve themselves, they did not think of helping, but rather of escaping the place.
They no longer cared about capturing Demonic Beasts for money, deciding it was too dangerous to risk their lives just for giraffe-like creatures.
Perhaps the giraffe-like creatures could fetch a good price, but if they were dead, how could they take the creatures with them?
They didn’t believe their team had a chance of winning, especially since four of the women had been poisoned, significantly weakening the Spells and Cultivation Techniques they could use.
They flew high in the sky, fleeing back in the direction they had come from, only to discover that the giraffe-like creatures were pursuing them.
It was unclear who had come in and offended the giraffe-like creatures so much that they left their food behind to constantly track this person.
They speculated that perhaps this person had captured a giraffe-like creature and was now being pursued by the creature’s companions.
The pursuing giraffe-like creatures were formidable.
Demonic Beasts could leap incredibly high, almost as if they could fly, and the venom they sprayed reached higher and farther, a dangerous attack, making the air reek of poison.
Bi Renchuan said to them:
“Let’s change direction; we can’t let those giraffe-like creatures realize we’re fleeing from them.”
Everyone agreed.
Since the mission was already complete and they had resources to exchange, even if they hadn’t gained another giraffe-like creature, they could look for resources elsewhere.
The Boundless Forest might hold more surprises for them, as long as they remained alive.
The four women, apart from flying using their Flying Spell Formation powered by Spiritual Power, could feel that the strength they deployed during the fight with the Demonic Beasts, before being poisoned, was reduced by two-thirds, and using their strength caused them some pain.
Desiring to prevent the poison from acting up, they hoped to leave the Boundless Forest quickly to purchase antidotes.
After some time, they flew out of the mist.
The sun was setting, and the evening sky was filled with twilight.
It was clear another day was passing, and soon it would be night.
Now, aside from the misty area, what lay ahead was unknown.
They decided to have a hearty meal in the high skies.
Bi Renchuan prepared meat for everyone again, while a water-powered Spell user stored water for the group.
Now, their simplest meal consisted of eating grilled meat and drinking water since their provisions were gone and it was impractical to look for other food to cook and eat.
Having encountered Demonic Beasts before, if they went to the ground looking for food, they might face Demonic Beasts again.
Having fought once already and fled, they needed rest.
The man in black was attacked and looked rather disheveled, while also dragging a person along, making Bian Shasha a burden to him.
He somewhat regretted giving Bian Shasha a pet, which had put him in a difficult situation.
He considered leaving Bian Shasha behind, so he wouldn’t have to face the danger of being killed by Demonic Beasts, but he couldn’t bear to abandon her after just one day and one night together.
When the venom from the giraffe-like creatures was sprayed, he used a Spell on himself to create a wall, blocking the venom from reaching them.
In his bedraggled state, he felt some anger, and so he also emitted a red venom.
The red venom made the pursuing giraffe-like creatures pause as the two venoms met in mid-air, creating an even stronger stench when the red mixed with the black venom, resulting in a cloud of smoke that turned into a larger toxin.
The man in black seemed to sense danger and pulled Bian Shasha into a frantic flight, escaping the range of the toxin’s smell.
The giraffe-like creatures, innately sensitive as Demonic Beasts, also sensed danger and frantically dodged.
In the disguise of mist, the two scents collided high above, and down below, the native bodies of the Immortal Vines were moving away.
Suddenly, the ground was cleared, and where the poison gas fell, it struck the soil.
Initially, a lot of white foam rose from the earth, which then turned into flames, charring that patch of ground.
After it blackened, the soil turned white again, with a layer of white ash forming over it.
The Immortal Vines no longer sent their native bodies back to the original place, having detected that the patch of land covered in white ash was a strong toxin that could greatly harm their vegetative kind.
The giraffe-like creatures not only failed to reclaim their young but barely avoided being poisoned themselves.
Knowing that the toxin was something even the Immortal Vine tendrils feared, they dared not move on the cleared ground any longer.
