Chapter 377: Flee for Your Life!
Fang Xue was both surprised at how clean and swift Gu Fan was, and at the same time despised the fact that he still had the mind to collect a storage pouch at such a moment.
Gu Fan, however, directly fastened the storage pouch to his waist.
“Alright, I’ll make my own way!”
After saying that, Fang Xue let go of his hand, and the two once again accelerated, fleeing into the distance.
However, the pursuers behind them seemed to be increasing in number, and some were even faster than the two of them, constantly closing the distance!
“Why are these people so certain that the target is us?”
Gu Fan could not understand. By right, he should have been able to conceal the blood energy of the Blood-colored Child. Under divine sense perception, he should appear no different from an ordinary person!
Yet this group of people seemed to be tracking them by scent, as if they could firmly identify him as their target.
Fang Xue was equally puzzled. The two exchanged a glance, then both looked at the Blood-colored Child.
“Are you hiding something from us?”
“That’s right. Although you helped us escape from the city, neither of us are naïve people. If you conceal something that endangers our lives, we naturally won’t help you!”
Hearing this, the Blood-colored Child’s expression changed slightly as he said:
“It has nothing to do with me. As long as you stay by my side, my blood energy should not spread out. There must be some other reason.”
At this moment, Fang Xue thought for a moment and said:
“Let’s keep running. Maybe it’s because we’ve run the farthest, so the pursuers naturally regard us as their main target.”
Gu Fan paused. Fang Xue’s explanation was also a possibility.
And now was not the time to press further. The Blood-colored Child should understand that concealing things at such a time would only endanger his own safety, so it was unlikely he would deceive them.
Thus, the two continued fleeing with the Blood-colored Child.
The pursuers behind them gradually caught up.
“Stop right there in front!”
“Quick! I see the blood-colored creature—it’s them! Stop them!”
For those still at a distance who heard this, their excitement instantly surged.
They had actually caught up with the target so quickly!
Immediately, everyone frantically accelerated, trying to capture the target before anyone else.
Through his divine sense, Gu Fan perceived that the five closest pursuers were no more than ten breaths away from catching them.
Thinking of this, he prepared to repeat his trick.
“Senior Sister!”
Fang Xue instantly understood and grabbed Gu Fan, pulling him along as they ran.
Three or four breaths later, a black sphere shot out!
Boom!
The terrifying explosion resounded once again. This time, Gu Fan did not have time to recover the storage pouch.
To ensure a fatal blow, he had injected a great deal of energy into the sphere. Whether the storage pouch could survive was uncertain.
“Success! The ones behind will take a little longer to catch up. Let’s go quickly!”
After confirming the hit, the two did not look back and continued to flee.
Meanwhile, when the explosion in the distance slowly dissipated, the later pursuers instinctively avoided the blast center, their hearts trembling.
“Damn it! Just what kind of method is this? How can it be so terrifying?”
“No! At this rate we won’t be able to catch them, and we’ll be struck down one by one. We need to surround them together!”
The group quickly devised a strategy. One group would pursue at full speed from the sides, while another would bombard with spells from behind, keeping their distance.
This way, they could avoid being struck by the black spheres while also slowing down Gu Fan and Fang Xue’s escape.
Soon, endless spell bombardments filled the air behind them.
The two were forced to constantly evade, their straight path forward now filled with detours.
As a result, their speed slowed significantly.
“This won’t do. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before we’re caught!”
Fang Xue’s eyes turned cold as she assessed the situation.
Gu Fan also coldly observed their surroundings.
The situation was extremely unfavorable for the two of them.
What now? Keep running, or turn back and fight?
If they fought, it was just the two of them—their strength was far from sufficient.
Originally, they had thought that the Blood-colored Child, who could at least break a city-protecting grand formation, would not be so easily hunted down.
As long as experts of the Shore Reaching Realm did not appear, he should at least serve as a shield.
But now, the two of them had somehow become the main fighting force!
Gu Fan was even beginning to consider whether to break the agreement entirely. After all, he was not some righteous gentleman.
He had already accomplished his goal of leaving the city. The Blood-colored Child did not possess the terrifying strength he had imagined.
Even if he abandoned him now, he could still escape. Surely the pursuers would not give up the target in order to chase him.
Perhaps… an even darker thought arose in his mind.
If he delivered the Blood-colored Child himself, he could exchange him for immense treasures from the Cang Blood Tribe.
Why not?
The Cang Blood Tribe had never said he couldn’t. As long as he brought back the blood-colored creature, he would be rewarded with great wealth!
At this moment, the Blood-colored Child seemed to sense Gu Fan’s change. With an eerie smile, he looked at him and said:
“We are already bound to the same boat. If you abandon me now, I guarantee you’ll regret it.”
Fang Xue had yet to react and asked instinctively:
“What do you mean by that?”
“Nothing else. I’ve existed within the Blood Pool for countless years, so naturally I have a few trump cards!”
“Even if I can’t deal with too many, dealing with the two of you is well within my grasp.”
Gu Fan did not believe it. With a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, he glared at the Blood-colored Child and said:
“If I were you, I’d show my strength right now. Otherwise, with death looming over us…”
At this point, Fang Xue also realized Gu Fan’s intention.
Was he planning to abandon the Blood-colored Child and break the contract?
Although her nature resisted the idea of breaking an agreement, when faced with life and death, she could not guarantee she would hold to her principles.
Thinking of this, she said nothing, neither criticizing nor defending Gu Fan’s idea.
The Blood-colored Child chuckled:
“The Blood Pool has accumulated a certain substance for countless years—the same thing I used to corrode the city’s grand defensive formation. I call it Blood Poison.”
“Though I don’t have much left after leaving the pool, I still have enough to kill the two of you. If you don’t believe me, you can try!”
As he spoke, he lifted his hand, and a blood-red energy slowly condensed in his palm.
Gu Fan’s expression darkened. His divine sense instinctively scanned it.
That terrifying corrosive energy could even erode divine sense!
No mistake!
If that thing landed on him or Fang Xue, it would definitely annihilate their bodies, perhaps even their souls!
“How about it?”
Gu Fan’s expression gradually calmed. He then looked at the Blood-colored Child and said:
“You are indeed cautious. But I think you’ve misunderstood. I was merely asking you to fight alongside us—after all, this also concerns your own safety.”
The Blood-colored Child immediately shook his head in refusal.
“I am currently in a stage of transformation. By relying on you, I can suppress and conceal my blood energy. If I act, my aura will surge, and those in the Shore Reaching Realm will immediately sense me.”
“So, this group can only be dealt with by the two of you.”
“You have no choice but to fulfill your promise. Either I act and kill you now before returning to the Blood Pool, or you fight with your lives on the line. Who knows? You might still have a sliver of hope.”
