Chapter 118 Rescue! Escape!

Roar! !

Along with the roars of beasts, a stench assaulted their nostrils, making them dizzy and weak in the knees.

Just then, the gaping maw of the Azure-Scaled Ironclad Beast was about to engulf their heads.

At the critical moment, Nan Ran flicked his hand and threw up a handful of powder.

Roar! !

Hoho! !
The roar of the beast was filled with undisguised pain.

The Azure-Scaled Ironclad Beast, which had originally intended to treat them as mere snacks, suddenly seemed to lose its way and could no longer spare any attention to attack them.

"What are you waiting for? Run!"

Nan Ran roared and turned to run diagonally away.

Without a second thought, everyone followed her footsteps and ran in the same direction.

Nanran turned a corner, and they followed suit.

Nan Ran ran in a straight line, and they followed suit.

until--

"Wait, wait a minute, I, I can't run anymore!" Su Ling leaned against a big tree next to her and took a while to catch her breath before she could finally catch her breath and then took big gulps of fresh air.

Su Ling felt as if she was seeing stars and couldn't see anything at all.

The rest of the team weren't much better off than Su Ling. Apart from Meng Duanyue, who was barely able to catch her breath, everyone else was leaning against the trees, panting heavily. They seemed to be giving up even if the Azure Scaled Ironclad Beast caught up and wanted to use them to fill the gaps in its teeth, they would definitely not run away again.

too tired!
I'm so tired!
The group felt that they had never been this tired even after years of diligent study and training in the inner sect.

Terrible.

Nan Ran, who was known as the worst in the sect, looked completely relaxed and didn't even have to catch his breath.

Everyone was too preoccupied to think about it right now.

Otherwise, I really want to cry out: Who is the bad student here?

Where have we gotten here?

Meng Duanyue was in better spirits than the others. After calming down, she became more alert to her surroundings.

They were in a panic and ran after Nan Ran without paying any attention to their surroundings.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that this was a completely unfamiliar place.

The Azure-Scaled Ironclad Beast had long since been left far behind.

Even the surrounding environment was completely different from the territory of the Azure Scaled Ironclad Beast.

Meng Duanyue couldn't help but look at Nan Ran, who had led the way.
Nan Ran shook her head honestly: "I don't know!"

She was only instinctively running for her life, and had no idea where she was. Besides, this was her first time in the Water Demon Forest, so she had no idea where she was either.

Not to mention, the vegetation in the Water Fairy Forest is highly similar.

The similarity was so striking that one might wonder if the Creator had been lazy and only hastily arranged a small, tiny area, then began to frantically copy and paste it—so much so that as Nan Ran walked from the outer edge of the Water Demon Forest to the depths of the forest, the scenery all seemed familiar, familiar, and familiar again.

Just from the similar trees and similar earthen mounds, Nanran felt that she had already walked through at least a dozen or twenty places.

I can't tell them apart, I can't tell where any of them is.

"You didn't know, yet you led us this way?" Su Ling was exhausted and was now seething with anger.

Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally doesn't hesitate to let it all out.

"This is the Water Demon Forest. Running around here is tantamount to suicide. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"

Nan Ran rolled her eyes at her: "Your legs are your own, not something I sawed off and tied back with ropes to make them obey my will and not yours."

Su Ling: "—Besides, the road ahead is unknown, it might not be easy, or we might even lose our way and fall into an abyss."

"If you can't remember the way back, you can't be blind, can you?"

"If you don't want to stay here, then go back now!"

"Nobody's stopping you!"

Su Ling: ...

She moved her lips, but found that she had no idea what to say.

"Alright, stop arguing. Right now, let's quickly find out what's going on around here, find our way, and get out of this place!"

Don't let yourself escape the territory of the Azure-Scaled Ironclad Beast only to end up in the territory of some other ferocious high-level demonic beast; that would really be the end of you.

The girl with the neat short brown-green hair remained silent, looking at Nan Ran with great curiosity.

"What did you just throw at the Azure-Scaled Ironclad Beast?"

She was closer to the Azure-Scaled Ironclad Beast at the time, and could see it much more clearly.

Originally, the manic, flesh-eating, and maniacal blue-scaled armored beast that used them to fill its teeth was just a handful of shimmering white powder that Nan Ran had suddenly thrown out.

Then, the blue-scaled armored beast completely lost the ability to continue fighting.

Then there was the determination Nan Ran showed when she led them to escape—it was as if from the very beginning, Nan Ran had a clear idea of ​​where to go to escape.

That's why he ran without hesitation.

They seem quite familiar with this place.

"This isn't your first time in the Water Fairy Forest, is it? Do you know the way?"

The moment the woman with the neat, short, brown-green hair uttered those words, everyone's gaze towards Nan Ran instantly changed.

Nan Ran didn't hide anything: "I saw the fragments of the Blue Firefly Queen pupa in the Beast Taming Manual in the sect's library. When the Blue Firefly Queen pupa is ground up, it emits a smell that terrifies high-level demonic beasts, so I just sprinkled some out."

"At the time, I just thought that this was the worst that could happen, so I might as well try anything."

She pondered for a moment: "I don't even know if that thing is really a fragment of a Blue Firefly Queen's pupa. I'm just trying it out."

"I never expected this thing to actually work."

Nan Ran blinked, looking quite innocent: "As for the Water Demon Forest, how could this not be my first time here? Everyone knows I'm a notorious bottom-of-the-class student in the Beast Taming Sect. Even if I wanted to come to such a dangerous place before, no one would dare bring me along and hold me back!"

"It's not like I'm courting death!"

Even when Nan Ran is criticizing herself, she doesn't hold back at all.

Everyone:...

That's an enviable mindset.

That's a bit too nonchalant.

The woman with short, neat brown-green hair refused to believe it: "So, you were just running around aimlessly, panicking and not knowing where you were going?"

She was just waiting for Nan Ran to say yes so she could immediately expose her.

Unexpectedly—"...It can't be said that he ran blindly or recklessly."

Nan Ran said frankly, "I can only say that when I started running, I didn't care about anything else. I only had one thought in my mind, which was to run as fast and as far as possible!"

"At that moment, I inexplicably felt which way I should run and which way I shouldn't run."

"I didn't have time to think too much, so I just followed my instincts and ran all the way here."

Nan Ran blinked: "Is there a problem?"

She looked around carefully: "I don't think there's much difference between this place and the other places we just visited."
