Outside the valley, Zhao Manyan was able to locate Mo Fan with the badge of the national team. However, before he could reach the middle of the valley, he suddenly saw Mo Fan rapidly approaching him.

“Lingling, look, I told you Mo Fan is fine. He’s heading toward us. He seems pretty eager to see us. He’s moving pretty fast!” Zhao Manyan said to Lingling with a smile.

“It’s not a smart choice to expend your energy just to travel quicker,” Shao Ru said.

They were still in Outer Mount Kunyu. There was still danger around. Any experienced Hunter would not use their energy just to travel quicker!

“Now that you mention, Mo Fan is indeed moving a little too fast…” Zhao Manyan nodded.

The group continued forward. Ten minutes later, there was a huge movement ahead. It felt like something was sprinting swiftly in the valley, it even split the grass part like a wave.

“It’s Mo Fan!” Zhao Manyan noticed his badge was shining brightly. It meant Mo Fan was very close to him.

The grass split apart. A man panting heavily with a red face showed up in front of them. However, it seemed like Mo Fan had no clue that the group was trying to regroup with him. He maintained his speed and raced past them.

Zhao Manyan saw Mo Fan turning to the side and looking at them in astonishment.

Mo Fan could not slow down in time. He was soon a hundred meters away from the group. The rest of the group exchanged glances with one another after seeing Mo Fan running into the distance.

“What is he doing?”

“Did he forget who we are?”

Zhao Manyan was utterly confused. However, Shao Ru suddenly frowned. She used her Plant Spell to split apart the sea of grass ahead.

It broadened the view of the group. However, the muscles on their faces stiffened the next second.

A huge bunch of demon creatures was chasing after Mo Fan. There were the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows, the Salamander Tigers, the Demon Insects, the Kingkong Demon Macaques… the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows were in the sky uttering piercing cries. They seemed extremely angry. Their colorful tails were like a huge cloud moving rapidly. The rest of the species were sprinting on the ground and knocking the grass down like a huge wave!

“What the heck are you all standing there for!? Run!” Mo Fan’s voice came from a hundred meters away.

The noise kept getting louder as the ground began to tremble. Zhao Manyan did not dare to waste a second further. He grabbed Chen Yi’s hand and activated his magic boots before sprinting in Mo Fan’s direction.

Shao Ru grabbed Lingling’s hand and controlled the grass to form a long path for them to slide on, staying as far away from the enraged demon creatures as possible.

“What the hell is going on!?” Zhao Manyan yelled after he caught up to Mo Fan.

“You don’t want to know. Let’s leave this place first,” Mo Fan found it hard to explain the situation to them. They had to find a way to escape the demon creatures for now.

“Aren’t the Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows friendly?” Chen Yi asked.

“The creatures living on the Giant Purple Sacred Linden are all its slaves. Your grandmother seems to have decided to take the Giant Purple Sacred Linden down with her. It’s not something we can interfere with. Let’s hurry up and leave this place!” Mo Fan said.

As soon as he finished the sentence, an overwhelming aura surged at them from the direction of the Giant Purple Sacred Linden. The Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows in the sky lost their balance after they were struck by the strong wind produced from the powerful blast.

The wind managed to speed the group up like a push to their back. However, Mo Fan could not help but turn around…

Unfortunately, he could no longer see the Giant Purple Sacred Linden from his current distance. He could vaguely see the brilliance of the magic lighting up the edge of the sky. Yan Shi must have used a high-level spell. Otherwise, there was no way the energy it produced could reach ten kilometers away.

Mo Fan did not want Yan Shi to die. However, judging from the situation, if Yan Shi did not risk her life to fight the Giant Purple Sacred Linden recklessly, it was unlikely she could inflict any damage to the tree. The devil had been around for a long time. Even an entire army would have trouble taking it out!

Mo Fan did not expect to discover such a ridiculous demon during their adventure to Outer Mount Kunyu. It was impossible to tell how many corpses had been buried in this valley over the past thousand years…

“We’re going to run out energy at this rate!” Shao Ru exclaimed.

The demon creatures had outstanding physical attributes, and were able to travel at high speed for a long time. Meanwhile, humans had to expend their energy to attain a speed comparable to the demon creatures. The sea of grass was boundless. It would take a long time before they made it out of the valley. As soon as they ran out of energy, the army of demon creatures would catch up to them!

The Giant Purple Sacred Linden was vicious indeed. It knew the creatures on the tree were unable to pose any threat to a Mage like Yan Shi. Therefore, it had sent them all after Mo Fan instead.

It would be extremely difficult for humans to make it out of the vast valley in time!

“They are too many of them. The terrain is too spacious here. We’re all going to die if we choose to fight here. We only have a chance once we reach the ridges and the mountains,” Mo Fan said.

“Luckily, the others have already left first. Otherwise, it would be worse than this,” Lingling agreed.

“By the way, where are the others? Weren’t they a lot of people that decided to stay behind? There should be an army at the tree. Why would Nie Lengshan and his elite soldiers allow these demon creatures to do as they please?” Shao Ru said.

“They are dead, all of them,” Mo Fan said grimly.

“Mo Fan, please tell me you’re joking! That was an army of elites and talented Hunters. How can they just die like that?” Zhao Manyan protested.

“Nie Lengshan is dead too. If it wasn’t for Chen Yi’s grandmother, I would be dead too… I’ll explain the details once we reached the safety zone. Old Zhao, hurry up and think of a plan,” Mo Fan said.

Zhao Manyan turned around and looked at the demon creatures chasing after them. There were at least more than five thousand high-level demon creatures. How could a defensive Mage like him possibly come up with a plan against them? The only plan was to run!

“Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, your badges are glowing,” Lingling suddenly said.

“Badges?” Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan lowered their head simultaneously and discovered that their badges were indeed glowing.

“The badge of the national team is specially made. It will only behave like that when a teammate is approaching. Why would it be glowing in a place like this? Is it broken?” Zhao Manyan said confusedly.

The badge was like a little pin for decorative purposes. Most members of the national team still wore it since it was easier for them to contact one another when needed.

“Someone is coming toward us!” Mo Fan was overjoyed.

“Huh? Who is it…” Zhao Manyan stared at the badge and saw it was glowing brighter. It indicated the person was approaching them at a shocking pace.

“Such speed!” Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

It was ridiculously quick. Even the Wing Magical Equipment was less than a tenth as fast.

However, they couldn’t think of anyone on the national team that had such a terrifying speed.

The person was initially a few dozen kilometers away, but it felt like the person was about to arrive at any second!

In a blue sky as clear as a lake, two thin and softly furred wings were beating gently. They seemed to be beating slowly, yet were able to travel a great distance in just a short period of time, leaving the sky, mountains, valleys, and lands behind.

Riding on the elegant creature were two women with alluring figures. One was wearing a headscarf commonly seen in Jiangnan. Her silky black hair reached her shoulders, while the rest was tied up in a bunch and barely reached her curves. The other woman had silver hair, and skin as pale as snow. She looked like a fairy from an icy world, tall yet slender. Her lips, hands, and feet were utterly attractive.

“Shishi, wait, I think they are around here,” Mu Ningxue said suddenly.

Yu Shishi looked down and saw the sea of grass waving, yet she failed to see any trace of humans. She said, “Are you sure? The Moon Moth Phoenix seems to be in a rush…”

The creature with beautiful wings suddenly dove to the ground…

The Moon Moth Phoenix was extremely quick, like a meteorite sweeping across the sky. She had descended extremely close to the ground in the blink of an eye.

The Moon Moth Phoenix shuddered, shaking both Yu Shishi and Mu Ningxue off. She quickly rose into the sky before the two girls could react and disappeared in the direction of the Giant Purple Sacred Linden.

Mo Fan and his crew looked up with blank faces.

“Is that… the Totem Beast, the Moon Moth Phoenix?” Zhao Manyan blurted out in surprise.

The Moon Moth Phoenix had a luminescent glow, like the countless stars in the night sky. Her long tail and blue wings were breathtaking. She had a noble presence that urged other creatures to submit before her, an imposing demeanor that no creature would dare to provoke, like an empress with a unique temperament and charm!

“What happened here? The Moon Moth Phoenix suddenly broke out of her cocoon. Mu Ningxue and I were a little worried, so we followed her here,” Yu Shishi said in a panic.

She had been looking after the Moon Moth Phoenix for so many years, yet she had never seen her behave like this. She had forcibly woken up from deep slumber, even though she had yet to recover from her injuries. She then flew here recklessly…

“A powerful demon, one that has been hiding here for more than a thousand years. It almost tricked the humans into killing the Moon Moth Phoenix thirty years ago… luckily you two showed up just in time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know what to do,” Mo Fan let out a relieved sigh.

“Mo Fan… well, I don’t think the Moon Moth Phoenix is going to help us to deal with the demon creatures,” Zhao Manyan said.

Mo Fan was stunned. He turned around and discovered that the dust that was swept into the air by the demon creatures that were chasing after them was still around, and it was getting closer!

-F**k me!

-How could the Totem Beast do this to us!?-
