Chapter 723: A Chance of Survival in a Time of Despair
Chapter 718 – A Chance of Survival in a Desperate Place
“Hurry up and leave, this damn thing is not something we can resist!”
Huangfu Song shrieked as he placed several formations outside the Puxian True Boat.
The speed at which the flying boat escaped instantly increased by several times.
But that terrifying dead body giant was still in hot pursuit behind it.
Moreover, its speed didn’t seem to be much slower than the Puxian True Boat!
“Quickly, return to the nearest Luo Yan State. I’m afraid that this kind of monster can only be dealt with by an official strike from the Immortal Alliance!”
Without the need for him to command, Li Fan had in fact already followed the fastest escape route and maneuvered the flying boat to escape.
But ……
According to the distance on the map, as well as the speed of their flight, they should have already rushed out of the range covered by the white fog by this time.
But the surrounding area was still white fog, seemingly unchanged for ten thousand years.
“Trouble, we should have been dragged into the maze by this dead body giant without realizing it.” Li Fan’s face was a little ugly.
“What?” Huangfu Song was shocked, and after checking, he realized that what Li Fan said was not false.
“This …… can’t fight and can’t escape. Isn’t it a dead end?” Dongfang Yao’s face turned slightly white.
“Think of a way while escaping.” Li Fan said decisively.
The Puxian True Boat maintained its rapid flight, trying to find the exit of the Mystic Domain. The dead body giants, on the other hand, followed closely behind, with a look that they would not stop until Li Fan and the others were caught.
Several times, Puxian Zhenzhou almost got caught by the dead body. Luckily, every time, relying on Li Fan, with the skill of maneuvering the flying boat that he had honed in the Immortal Extermination Formation back then, he dodged the crisis.
“Damn, why do you keep following us? What deep hatred is there?” Unable to stand this kind of irritation, Huangfu Song couldn’t help but say in impotent fury.
“Huh?” This thoughtless remark reminded Li Fan.
This ghastly and bizarre dead body giant was obviously related to the Heavenly Doctor. It had no subjective consciousness and seemed to act on instinct. Why was it chasing after Li Fan’s trio?
While chasing and killing, it was also emitting wailing sounds of resentment and hatred.
“Can it be that it is sensing the [Heavenly Doctor]’s aura on me?” Li Fan instantly thought so.
However, he soon dismissed this speculation.
It wasn’t just this life.
Ever since the doppelganger had revealed his flaws in front of the Heavenly Doctor, and he had been chased down and forced to return the truth by him by tearing apart the Tianxuan space, it had been a long time since Li Fan had fought with the Heavenly Doctor.
Not to mention any dabbling with the Heavenly Doctor’s aura.
Li Fan glanced at the Huangfu and Dongfang duo beside him again.
They couldn’t even hear the “Heavenly Doctor” voice from the dead corpse giant. Obviously, it was even more unlikely that they had any connection with this powerful person.
“So, it was something I was carrying that attracted this Dead Corpse Giant?”
In a flash of lightning, Li Fan vaguely thought of a certain possibility.
After scanning and counting all the items on his body, and discarding some of the suspicious ones without stinting, but still not changing the actions of the dead body giant.
Li Fan finally locked his sight on a white rib bone.
This was the only item that had fallen from Yin Shangren after killing him in this world.
It belonged to the first infected person of the Xianfan Miasma.
“Could it be because of this item?”
Li Fan pondered for a moment and held it in his hand.
Feeling its cold yet warm strange touch, Li Fan threw it with force in the opposite direction of the flying boat’s advance.
A moment later.
“Heaven ……”
“Medical ……”
That dead body giant, indeed, changed the target of its pursuit! Abandoning the Puxian True Boat, it roared and went after that one white rib!
“……”
“What is the meaning of this.” Li Fan was somewhat stunned, his brows furrowed slightly as he thought carefully.
And next, something that made him feel even more incomprehensible happened.
When the zombie giant got that rib bone, originally Li Fan thought that it would retaliate madly.
But it moved with a slight slowdown, and then froze in place.
The wails of the “Heavenly Doctor” slowly subsided.
The dead giant clumsily took the rib cage in his hand and held it in his heart.
Then it sank and disappeared into the white mist.
The change only happened in an instant, except for Li Fan, the rest of the two people on the boat, all failed to understand what happened.
They only saw that Li Fan seemed to have casually thrown out something, and then lured the terrifying giant away.
They looked at Li Fan in a daze after the robbery.
Li Fan came back to his senses after a long time. Shrugging his shoulders, he said, “It was just luck.”
Huangfu and Dongfang were noncommittal. However, Li Fan had saved their lives after all, and since the other party was unwilling to reveal too much, they were not in a position to pursue the matter.
During this period of time, they could really be the same life and death of a life-long friendship.
Although it was not how deep the friendship was, it was definitely much deeper than the bonds between the vast majority of cultivators in the world.
At the very least, in the eyes of Huangfu and Dongfang, this was the case.
Everyone had their own secrets, and they coincidentally chose to avoid talking about this matter.
Without the threat of the giants, the three of them took a lot of effort and eventually escaped from the lost domain here.
However, for some unknown reason, this maze did not have the rewards of Qing Xuan Points.
Preserving their lives was already a great fortune. One could not ask for more.
After the shocked trio conferred for a while, they originally decided to temporarily go back and recuperate for a moment.
However, the excitement brought about by the two dissociative disks that were instantly missing in the Heaven Measuring Marks made them change their minds again.
Not caring that they had just come back from the dead, they plunged headlong into the white mist again.
—
“That’s why, people die for money and birds die for food, this is the principle of heaven and earth, even though my generation of Immortal Cultivators are not exempt from it. Unless yet another Everlasting Heavenly Father can reverse this reasoning, otherwise, in the future within our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, things like this will still keep happening.”
Nangong Shirong spoke eloquently in front of Xu Bai, but it was not the Huangfu Song trio that he was talking about.
Instead, it was Tian Liang City Lord Xiang Rong Xin.
After tens of days of thorough investigation and mutual mediation with various forces, the biggest backstabber of the Wang Qiu Broken incident was finally determined.
It was none other than this City Lord Xiang.
There was no way around it, who let the vast majority of the cultivators that Wang Qiubao had recommended, all went his way. Moreover, he confessed to having received many of Wang Qiubao’s treasures.
In the end, he was removed from his position as the city lord. However, the good thing is that he stayed alive, and even his cultivation realm was preserved.
Just exiled to the extreme southwest of the Cangwu Abyss, to guard the more and more frequent riots of the bottom of the abyss monsters to go.
Nangong Shirong, who has made great achievements in this case, has also succeeded Xiang Rongxin’s position as a matter of course.
The internal resolution had been finalized, and in a few days, the edict would be officially issued.
Nangong Shirong, naturally, did not forget Xu Bai, the “great merit”.
He even threw out an olive branch to Xu Bai, wanting to invite him to serve in Tianliang Prefecture.
After all, although he made his fortune very quickly this time, he did offend a large number of people.
With a weak foundation, there was indeed an urgent need to cultivate his own forces.
