Chapter 149 The Strength of the Three Black-haired Lions
Upon hearing Gu Ping's words, everyone immediately rushed to use their fastest escape techniques and began to flee in a panic.
Among these people, Xia Yuhui, Luoyun Daoren, and Gu Ping had the fastest escape speed. At this moment, Xia Yuhui no longer needed to pretend and had already unleashed the fastest speed he could.
His speed far exceeded that of others, even leaving Gu Ping behind.
Gu Ping and Luo Yun Dao Ren could only stare dumbfounded at the back of Xia Yuhui's head.
The three-headed black lion was also very fast. After the group had run about 10,000 miles, it appeared far behind them. The two slowest members of the group were less than three miles away from it.
Although Xia Yuhui was far away from them, he naturally knew that the two were about to be overtaken by the three-headed black lions, but he didn't care.
Those two people have nothing to do with me, and this whole thing was caused by Guiyun Sect. If those two people have anyone to blame, it's Guiyun Sect for being dishonest.
As for the other members of the team, they had no intention of helping. They hadn't even reached the outer perimeter yet, and if they were to fight here, it would inevitably provoke the wrath of the surrounding beast hordes, and then it wouldn't just be a matter of a few hundred or a thousand monsters.
"Fellow Daoists, please help us!"
"Fellow disciples, please save me!"
At this moment, the two cultivators had been overtaken by the three-headed black-haired lions and were loudly calling for help from the fleeing crowd ahead, while the crowd only glanced at them with pity.
The Three-Headed Black Lion has three heads, each capable of unleashing a sea of fire, a storm, and miasma, making it an extremely powerful demonic beast. Once it reaches adulthood, with a bit of luck, breaking through to the third tier is not an uncommon feat.
The two who were caught up were only mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they were quickly swallowed up in two bites by the three-headed black-haired lion.
However, it didn't seem satisfied and continued to chase after the group.
When Xia Yuhui saw that he actually dared to chase after him, his face immediately turned ashen.
This beast is quite intelligent and should know the strength of everyone, yet it is not afraid at all and even wants to chase them to the outer perimeter. There is only one possibility: this three-headed black-maned lion must have some kind of backing.
After a while, Xia Yuhui ran to the outskirts of the northern border. Sensing the decreasing number of monsters around him, Xia Yuhui stopped running and waited for the others behind him.
It wasn't that he didn't want to keep running, it was that he couldn't. Gu Ping's order was to run to the outer perimeter and then kill the monster that was chasing them. If he dared to disobey this order, Guiyun Sect would definitely not let him off the hook.
Before long, Gu Ping, Luo Yun Dao Ren, and Cao Tai arrived at Xia Yu Hui's side.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, this beast dares to chase after us; it must have some kind of trump card. Perhaps..."
Xia Yuhui didn't dare to mention the plan to retreat directly. This was not a decision he could make alone, and mentioning it would only make Gu Ping dissatisfied with his attitude.
Gu Ping and the others were also thinking seriously. None of them were fools, and they clearly understood the seriousness of the matter.
"Senior brother, I think we've almost finished our mission. Why don't we go back? The sect won't say anything then."
"Yes, we've even exceeded our target, so we can go back and report now."
Hearing his two senior brothers' advice, Gu Ping took it seriously and nodded.
Just as the four were discussing, the others also ran over in a group, while the lion was relentlessly chasing after them.
Clearly, everyone realized the lion's power, and since their escape techniques were roughly the same, they chose to stick together and fight their way out, which is how they managed to hold out until now.
"Let's take action! Drive this beast back first, then we'll evacuate with our men!"
Upon seeing this, Gu Ping immediately gave an order.
The other three exchanged glances, nodded in unison, and rushed forward.
The four are the core combat force of this team. Although the others are also in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, if they encounter truly ferocious monsters, these people will only play a restraining role and will not affect the overall situation.
Soon, the four of them surrounded the monster, and when the others saw the core combatant join the battle, they also immediately followed suit, taking advantage of the situation.
Gu Ping was the first to launch an attack. He held a disc in his hand, on which array symbols appeared from time to time, clearly indicating that it was a treasure.
After Gu Ping activated the magical artifact, some rune chains tightly bound the three black-haired lions.
Upon seeing this, the others immediately launched a fierce attack on the lion.
A dozen or so people unleashed more than 20 spells at once.
However, the lion, in a human-like manner, slightly curled the corners of its mouth, then opened its three mouths wide and swallowed the spells whole.
However, it withstood Xia Yuhui's heavenly lightning.
Although he managed to withstand it, the lightning was still lightning, and it still left a wound on the lion's back.
"Heavenly lightning! What a brilliant move!"
After saying that, the three black-haired lions instantly grew larger, from their original height of over 20 zhang to over 40 zhang.
As his body grew larger, the runic chains that had bound him were immediately broken.
Looking at the enormous lion, Xia Yuhui felt a sense of fear. The three third-tier demonic beasts from that day seemed to be only slightly larger than this one. Could this beast be a third-tier demon king?
"Don't be afraid, this is just his talent. Let's attack together and injure it first so we can run away."
After he finished speaking, the disc in Gu Ping's hand suddenly lit up, and a small array appeared on the disc.
“I’ll hold it back; you guys attack its three heads directly.”
The next moment, even more chains of runes suddenly appeared from the earth and the sky, binding the lion tightly.
"Roar………"
The lion, naturally unwilling to accept this, roared to the sky, "Humans, you have gone too far in bullying me!"
Having said that, it opened its three mouths again, and from them spewed out a sea of fire, a raging wind, and miasma.
The next moment, the area within a mile radius was filled with these three attributes.
This forced the group, who were just about to launch an attack, to abandon their plan and avoid the attacks from a distance.
Looking at the sea of fire that blotted out the sky, Xia Yuhui immediately realized how troublesome this monster was and turned to glance at Gu Ping.
Gu Ping, who was fully activating his spiritual weapon, felt Xia Yuhui's gaze and looked back. Xia Yuhui's eyes seemed to be able to speak, and Gu Ping quickly realized what Xia Yuhui meant.
Xia Yuhui's idea was for the four of them to escape, while the others would be left to fend for themselves.
This is nobody's fault but their own, their own fault for running away and their inadequate methods.
Gu Ping firmly shook his head at Xia Yuhui, much to the disappointment of Luo Yun Dao Ren and Cao Tai behind him.
In truth, Gu Ping also wanted to run away, but he couldn't. If so many of his junior brothers died here, he would definitely be held accountable by his master when he returned to the sect, and his prestige would also be greatly diminished.
Since they couldn't run away, the three of them became desperate and each displayed their best skills.
