Chapter 137: The Escape
Chapter 137: The Escape
A figure suddenly flashed out from the grass nearby. Before the two guilds could clearly see what it was, a black Hurricane swept up wildly and pulled all their members into it!
Hundreds of Health Points floated up from the heads of the two guild’s members. Both Six Paths Maniac and Qi Se Yu Yi turned pale.
They had been very careful, but they still got caught. That Hunter had his abnormal Pet ambushed here.
Under this Hurricane attack, they were afraid they would be wiped out completely!
“Reckless little thing!” But Aulde snorted coldly. He moved his hand, and a huge hand appeared, fiercely slapping toward the Hurricane that Sesshylow had turned into.
Whack!
The black Hurricane abruptly stopped. A Shadow was knocked more than ten meters away violently!
Sesshylow’s trump move, which could one-shot anyone, was actually interrupted by this slap!
Not only that, Sesshylow’s Health Points instantly dropped by over forty thousand!
“This npc is too strong!”
In the distance, Chen Mo, seeing through Sesshylow’s vision and aware of everything happening here, couldn’t help but feel startled. He quickly commanded Sesshylow to escape.
With the Extreme Speed Skill added, Sesshylow quickly dove into the grass and disappeared.
Six Paths Maniac and Qi Se Yu Yi, with their Health Points mostly gone, stood up from the ground with lingering fear.
They each had less than four hundred Health Points left. If Aulde had acted one second later, they would have been completely wiped out.
Even so, only less than five members of both guilds were still alive.
“We must catch up to that guy!” Qi Se Yu Yi said through gritted teeth.
“Let’s go!”
Aulde had already started moving, and the two of them frantically followed.
“What happened?”
On the other side, Xue Ye Hua saw Chen Mo frown and knew something had changed.
“Six Paths Maniac and Qi Se Yu Yi are catching up. Those two alone are not to be feared, but the problem is Aulde’s Damage is very high; we can’t withstand even one hit. Grand Mage Jumeng, can you deal with Aulde?” Now the only one they could rely on was Jumeng, the Grand Mage. No matter how you looked at it, his strength shouldn’t be weak.
Chen Mo had expected that the two guilds would chase them, so he had Sesshylow tailing behind. When the two guild leaders and Aulde spotted their traces, Chen Mo had already seen them. Chen Mo had planned to have Sesshylow ambush them and one-shot the two guilds’ members, so the problem would be easily solved. But he hadn’t expected Aulde to be so much stronger than he anticipated.
“Just him alone, I’m naturally not afraid. But the problem is Aulde has several companions. I alone am definitely not their match, especially since we also have to protect the princess,” Jumeng shook his head. He had been holding the princess while escaping, and the princess had only just woken up; her body was still very weak and could absolutely not become a fighting force.
“What do we do? If this continues, they will catch up soon.” Xue Ye Hua looked back and could already see the pursuers. Under these circumstances, she was also a bit restless.
“Dear Adventurers, please don’t worry. If it comes to it, I will stay behind to stop them. You take the princess and escape!” Jumeng said resolutely.
“We haven’t reached that point yet. Jumeng, I’ve recovered quite a bit. Let me cast a Wind Speed Saint Mark spell on you all; that way Aulde and the others won’t be able to catch up for a while.” Peraldili, the princess who had been keeping her eyes closed all this time, suddenly spoke softly.
“Alright, princess, be careful.” Jumeng hesitated slightly, knowing the princess’s magic was very important to them, so he didn’t try to dissuade her.
Peraldili gently landed on the ground. Her small mouth moved slightly, and an almost inaudible chant could be heard. Then she waved her small hand, and a cyan-colored wind appeared out of thin air, wrapping around the ankles of the five people.
Whether it was Chen Mo, Xue Ye Hua, or Qing Tian, they all felt their bodies lighten. When they checked their Attributes, they found their movement speed had actually increased by 50%, and the effect lasted for a full 5 minutes!
A group movement magic with such a strong boost!
“Let’s go! With this speed boost, it’s enough for us to get away!” Chen Mo called out and led the group sprinting forward at high speed.
“They sped up!” In the back, the two guild leaders were just about to catch up when they saw the other party’s speed suddenly increase. They immediately became anxious.
“Don’t worry. Jumeng doesn’t know speed magic. The one who used the magic must be the princess. But the princess hasn’t fully recovered yet. Once the effect wears off, we can catch up!” Aulde glanced ahead and said coldly.
Hearing this, the two guild leaders felt reassured.
However, soon they saw a wall dozens of meters high appear ahead.
The edge of the Hunting Grounds. Once they crossed that wall, they could escape the Hunting Grounds!
“Sister Xue, this wall is way too high, isn’t it? How do we get over it? And, it seems there’s a group of guards right ahead…” Qing Tian looked at the wall that was dozens of meters high and let out an exclamation.
“That guy should have a way, right?” Xue Ye Hua was much calmer.
After being in contact with Chen Mo these past few days, she knew this guy wouldn’t do something he wasn’t sure about.
In front of the tall wall, there was a large iron gate. In front of the gate, a group of more than ten npcs were patrolling. Under normal circumstances, heading this way would be like walking into a trap.
The iron gate was undoubtedly the only exit to escape the Hunting Grounds, but Xue Ye Hua couldn’t figure out how Chen Mo intended to kill all the npcs or make the npcs open the gate and let them leave.
Xue Ye Hua looked at Chen Mo and saw him summon Sesshylow.
After Sesshylow appeared, following Chen Mo’s command, its form suddenly changed.
A familiar figure appeared before Xue Ye Hua and Qing Tian. The two of them stared at this figure, their eyes wide.
“This is possible?” Xue Ye Hua truly couldn’t stay calm.
This Pet was too abnormal; it could move freely in the Crimson Poison Mist, its ultimate move could one-shot a bunch of people, and now it could even transform!
This was absolutely a BOSS-level Pet. Xue Ye Hua definitely didn’t believe that an ordinary Pet could have such abilities!
“What are you doing here? Leave quickly! Come any closer and you will be killed… Huh? Lord Morris!”
A group of npc guards saw Chen Mo and the five others approaching and immediately shouted at them from afar. But then, when they saw the person at the front walking over, these npc guards respectfully called out.
“Open the gate quickly! Lord Morris needs to go out!” Chen Mo stepped forward and yelled at the npc guards.
If anyone else dared to yell at these npc guards like that, there would definitely be trouble. But the Heinous Crime Title that Chen Mo wore, which wasn’t very effective against high-level npcs like La Xia, worked very well on these nameless patrol Xiaobing. The group of npc guards glanced at Chen Mo and didn’t argue. Only the lead guard looked at Princess Peraldili and said with difficulty, “It’s no problem for Lord Morris and this Adventurer to go out, but Lord Dunis specifically ordered that Princess Peraldili must not be allowed to leave.”
“Enough nonsense! Lord Morris needs to carry out a secret execution. In a little while, you will receive orders from Lord Dunis. For now, let us out first! Lord Morris will execute them and then return to oversee the hunting activities!” Chen Mo shouted loudly.
He hadn’t just come up with this excuse on the spot; he had prepared it earlier. For the escape, last time he had retrieved items like a shovel and rope from the warehouse through the npc Raphael. Now, Jumeng and Princess Peraldili were tied up with ropes by Chen Mo. If the patrol guards let them out as soon as they saw Morris, that would be great. If that didn’t work, he only had this excuse to try.
“So that’s how it is! Number 13, take Lord Morris and the others to the secret execution site!” The lead guard, upon hearing this, didn’t stop them anymore. Instead, he had a middle-aged guard from the guard team lead the way.
“Let’s go!”
The heavy iron gate slowly opened, and Chen Mo and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
“By the way, the execution of the princess seems to have angered the remaining prisoners from the Yuedora Kingdom. They might escape by any means to stop us. If you see them, you must do your best to arrest them. If it’s not possible, killing them is also acceptable.” As he passed by the guard captain, Chen Mo didn’t forget to add this instruction.
“Rest assured, if they dare come, we’ll let them know the power of us guards! We have guarded the Land of Exile for so many years, and there has never been any problem!” The guard captain nodded emphatically.
Several minutes later.
“That Adventurer was absolutely right! These criminals from the Yuedora Kingdom really escaped and are chasing us! Everyone get ready, kill or arrest them with full force!” The guard captain looked at the group of figures appearing ahead and shouted loudly.
…
“They actually got out?” Six Paths Maniac and Qi Se Yu Yi looked at the large iron gate slowly closing and found it hard to believe.
“That guy must have used some trick. If they can go out with the princess, we can too!” Qi Se Yu Yi said, very unwilling. He thought they would be stopped at the high wall, but somehow they managed to escape again.
Six Paths Maniac thought about it and agreed; if even the guy with the princess could get out, there was no way they couldn’t.
“Shoot!”
The high wall was close, the iron gate right before their eyes. But at that moment, a powerful Arrow Rain shot fiercely towards them!
Six Paths Maniac and Qi Se Yu Yi were shocked. They hadn’t expected these guards to attack without even saying a word!
The Level of these npc guards was much higher than theirs. A single arrow could one-shot them instantly!
The members of the two guilds panicked and tried frantically to dodge.
But how could they dodge such a massive volley of arrows?
Only Six Paths Maniac reacted quickly, and he happened to be near Aulde. As the Arrow Rain descended, he quickly moved and hid behind Aulde, letting Aulde block the arrows.
That reaction saved his life. The rest of the two guilds’ members, including Qi Se Yu Yi, all fell under the Arrow Rain attack; only he survived.
“Kill!” A fierce light flashed in Aulde’s eyes. No matter what, he couldn’t let the princess escape. Otherwise, no matter where he went, he would no longer have a place.
The other npcs felt the same. A group of npcs braved the Arrow Rain and fiercely charged toward the npc guards ahead!
“The enemy is strong! Call for reinforcements!” The guard captain was terrified and quickly called for help.
Land of Exile Prison.
Dunis was reading a book in his quiet study when La Xia hurriedly entered.
“What? The princess escaped?”
Hearing this news, he stood up in shock.
