Ge Chenghua thought that if Xia Feng was going to kill them sooner or later, it was better to take a gamble.
Without gambling, there was no chance; with gambling, there was still a glimmer of hope.
Of course, this gamble meant attempting to escape the foreign beast city.
Even with their limited wits, they wouldn't dream of confronting Xia Feng head-on. That would be a sure way to die without even knowing how.
Xue Yangxia was also tempted after hearing this. He knew very well that Xia Feng might not let them go and could even kill them all.
After all, he had tried to kill Xia Feng before. Would Xia Feng just give up so easily?
However, Xue Yangxia dared not leave it to chance. He still held onto a sliver of hope: if they could quickly help Xia Feng find the jade pendant, their chances of survival would be much greater.
Seeing Ge Chenghua's earnest expression, Xue Yangxia asked, "What are your plans?"
As for plans, Ge Chenghua naturally had them in mind.
"Big Brother, we demons have a method of escape. We sacrifice our own blood to perform an escape technique, which can take Big Brother with me," Ge Chenghua revealed his thoughts.
Upon hearing Ge Chenghua's words, Xue Yangxia hesitated but ultimately nodded in agreement.
He had no other options now; his only recourse was to escape with Ge Chenghua.
Ge Chenghua was from the demon race, and Xue Yangxia knew he possessed special escape methods. This was their chance.
In truth, Xue Yangxia himself had little faith that Xia Feng would forgive them after he had tried to kill him.
It was an outcome he couldn't believe no matter who he asked.
Now that Ge Chenghua had an escape method, they might as well take the gamble.
"Then I'll have someone send this jade pendant back to him. We'll prepare to escape," Xue Yangxia said, looking at the jade pendant in his hand.
"Big Brother, we're about to escape. Why send it back? Even if we don't take it, we should destroy it," Ge Chenghua said, somewhat confused.
Was he still trying to be a good person?
"You fool! Who knows if he'll find us through this jade pendant? If he tracks us by its aura, won't that be seeking our own doom?" Xue Yangxia reprimanded with a look of exasperation, as if Ge Chenghua was making a ridiculous joke.
Could they really take this thing with them?
"Furthermore, you say destroy it. What if the process of destroying it alerts him? Then we'll still be as good as dead. The best course of action is to send it back to him directly," Xue Yangxia felt a sense of disappointment, as if he were trying to teach a pig to fly.
This was the kind of thinking that even someone with a hundred thousand years of cerebral thrombosis couldn't come up with.
It wasn't for nothing that people said demons lacked brains; Xue Yangxia saw that very trait in Ge Chenghua.
Facing Xue Yangxia's reprimand, Ge Chenghua remained silent, finding Xue Yangxia's words quite reasonable.
"Big Brother, whatever you say, I'll listen," Ge Chenghua's mind finally opened up, and he finally understood how to proceed.
"Good, then let's plan to find the right moment to escape the foreign demon city," Xue Yangxia nodded.
The two of them continued to pretend to be searching for the jade pendant for Xia Feng within the city, while secretly allowing Ge Chenghua to prepare for their escape.
Ge Chenghua needed to sacrifice his blood and prepare for escape through their demon race's unique blood pool.
Ge Chenghua had been secretly sacrificing to the blood pool. When the preparations were nearly complete, he suddenly shouted to Xue Yangxia:
"Big Brother, the space is about to open. We're ready to leave."
Xue Yangxia knew the opportunity had arrived. He quickly began to conceal their auras and, at maximum speed, plunged into the space opened by Ge Chenghua.
The space had only been opened as a black hole. Xue Yangxia took the lead, jumping in first.
Ge Chenghua followed closely behind, shouting to Xue Yangxia ahead, "Big Brother, we succeeded."
