Chapter 597: Overwhelming Pressure

Xue Wei had initially been bringing up the rear, but now that they found the increasingly dangerous pressure coming closer, he was using his transformed arms and claws to rip apart any scorpion that was in their way.

Luckily, the scorpions seemed to have entered a strange state where they did not seem to realize what was happening around them, and even when they were being brutally harmed, they did not even seem to register the pain.

"Don’t fall behind!" Although Xue Wei was the one at the front, he would often look back to ensure that the others could follow, and was trying to maintain such speed that they would not be left behind.

While survival was important, he had no intention of running away on his own, but fortunately, the scorpions showed no signs of fighting back, so they easily created their own path of blood and flesh.

Although the group was able to flee at a much swifter pace when compared to the speed previously used when trying to escape the horde of scorpions, they did not feel much joy.

The pressure that was emitted from the unknown creature that was advancing on their location was enough to make them understand why the No Man’s Land was known as a deadly area.

Although they had experienced great breakthroughs, and some of them had even shed their mortal bodies, they still felt the pressure emitted from this unknown creature, so they could easily guess that its strength would have, at least, reached the Emperor rank.

They were not naive enough to think that they could successfully fight with such a gap in strength, so they were eager to get away.

"It is catching up!"

Just as the pressure came closer to them, Lin Xiao’s expression turned grim, and his brows furrowed worriedly.

Just as his words were spoken, a resounding screech reverberated through the land, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble.

"It has reached the scorpions!"

Luoluo had looked back, and her eyes widened as she gasped out a few words.

"It is eating them, run!"

Her words made all of them see a glimmer of hope, as this unknown creature had begun to feast on the scorpions. As long as it was stopped in its tracks for a short while, their chances of survival would increase, but they were also aware that they could not rest yet.

The final line of scorpions was quickly broken through, and their speed increased drastically, as they no longer had to pave a usable road.

The group’s speed increased many times over, and they succeeded in opening up a large distance between the scorpion group and themselves, but they did not stop running before they had gone a long distance.

"Do you think that it can find us here?"

Although they had run far away, they were still able to be found if this beast truly wished to do so, so when Lin Xiao asked this question, his body began trembling slightly.

"It might, but I don’t think it will be willing to spend the effort to chase after us. This No Man’s Land is not simple, and if we keep running, we might unintentionally run into another danger zone controlled by some even stronger creature.

"Also, Luoluo said that the beast began eating the scorpions, so I don’t think that it will need to continue to hunt after eating them all, so we should be safe. As long as we do not threaten it, and it is not hungry, then we should be fine."

After considering their situation, they all agreed that the current location was better than looking for anywhere else, so they quickly began to settle down and restore their energy.

Even so, they did not dare to leave no one to guard, so while Xue Wei kept watch, the others began to cultivate and restore their strength, before they switched.

Their current location was not bad. There were no strong beasts or beast packs around, and they could easily rest and restore their health.

"We will stay here for a night. Let us get some good rest, because I fear that we will only encounter more and more dangers as we get deeper into the No Man’s Land."

Xue Wei had been the one to make the decision, but his reasoning was very understandable, and they all agreed.

Before entering the No Man’s Land, they had stocked up on all the items that could allow them to set up a resting area, but they dared not take out any lights or start a fire. Although their strength was known to be extremely high, this place seemed to defy all logic, and their fire was likely to attract the braver beasts, which would destroy their intentions of resting.

During the time they had been traveling, Hei Gou had been quiet. He had stood by their side, but at the same time, he also seemed very distant.

His eyes were currently unfocused as he looked at the moon in the sky above. There was a strange longing in his eyes that Xue Wei did not understand, but he was also not willing to break the tranquil, but slightly melancholic, atmosphere that surrounded his good friend.

Although Xue Wei would like to help him regain his memories, he also understood that Hei Gou was no longer aware of their past together. Although some feelings were still present, Hei Gou was still not aware of what they had gone through, so he would not be able to fully understand the bond that they shared.

Xue Wei frowned as he contemplated what to do. Their team was relying on one another for survival, so he needed Hei Gou to feel the same connection that had become natural to the others.
