In terms of speed, at this moment Wutan and his two companions are even faster than the big man and the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake.
The big man's one step is a hundred feet, and the seven-step Life-Chasing Snake is not much different. Wujitiao and the other person can reach more than one hundred and ten feet. If this is their original speed, the gap between them will become larger and larger.
Unfortunately, the two of them had taken the essence of the wind element, and the blessing of external force could only last for ten breaths. If they had not escaped the big man's sight in ten breaths, they would be in great danger this time.
The four-mile journey was their lifeline. The three men did not dare to relax for a moment. The vital energy in their sea of qi surged, increasing their speed even more.
The wind was whistling, making people's skin hurt. The little guy hugged Wutan's neck tightly. The silver light was shining, and the energy took shape like a sharp sword, cutting through the air and reducing the resistance for him.
Han Tian said: "The big man doesn't seem to notice us. We try to stay close to the ground and block his sight."
The trees in the forest were dense, and there were hills and slopes everywhere. The three people were very fast and difficult to be spotted. However, the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake relied on its powerful acuity to always stay behind the three people and keep approaching.
Soon three breaths passed, and the three men had galloped two miles as they wished. Looking up, they could faintly see the shadow of the river. They were excited. If there were no accidents, there would be hope of escape!
"Strange, the speed of the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake always remains at its peak. Is it chasing prey? What is this prey that can be comparable to its speed, or even slightly better?" The big man muttered, as if thinking about something.
"There's something strange!"
The big man's speed suddenly increased, faster than lightning. On his feet, there were thirty faint white lines, as thick as chopsticks, emitting hazy light, winding and leading straight to the qi sea.
He shuttled through the dense forest, covering more than 120 feet in one step, and continued to approach at an extremely terrifying speed!
"Oh no, the big man's speed has increased dramatically. Hurry up, there is still half a mile to go." Han Tian was shocked. The big man's speed before was not the limit.
The river was not very turbulent and was very clear. A huge fish, which was at least ten feet long, jumped out of the water, splashing waves several meters high.
The sun has risen and the morning light is shining down. The chill of the forest is gradually dissipating, and is replaced by a hint of warmth that seeps into the body and mind.
But the three of them did not feel any warmth, instead, they felt as if they were trapped in an icy valley, freezing cold. They stepped on a big tree, landed behind a huge rock, and quickly approached the river.
Thirty feet... twenty feet... ten feet...
“Huh?” The big man was puzzled. There was no monster in front of the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake, but why did it chase all the way here
He waved his hand and an invisible force rushed out. The huge rock in front of him exploded with a loud bang, and the debris splashed, breaking countless large trees.
“Boom boom!”
At this moment, Wutan and the other man jumped into the river one after another. Due to deliberate suppression, no big waves were splashed.
The river was very deep, more than a hundred feet deep, and extremely cold. They hid at the bottom of the water, grabbing a sinking stone, shivering and their faces pale.
"You evil beast, where are you running to?" The big man blasted the huge rock into pieces. He did not see Wutan and the other two, but saw the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake stopped by the river, eager to try, as if it wanted to jump into the river.
“Hiss!”
The Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake glanced behind it, its eyes becoming increasingly colder, with a hint of fear in them. With a "bang", it jumped directly into the water and disappeared.
"What a pity! If this beast grows to maturity, it can be comparable to the leader of a sect." The big man came to the shore, but did not jump into the water. He shook his head regretfully and turned away.
But he didn't know that a funny scene was happening in the water!
When the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake sank to the bottom of the water and saw Wutan and the other two, excitement flashed in its pupils.
The reason why it followed closely was because of the smell on the two people, which was a strange kind of divinity, the breath of the essence of innate spiritual creatures. It felt that if it ate the two people, it would definitely evolve to a terrifying level.
“Swish!”
The Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake rushed out violently, without being affected at all in the water. It arrived in an instant, its mouth wide open, and its four fangs sharp and pointed.
"Hmph!" Wutan snorted. Before, he couldn't fight back against the big man outside, but now he is over a hundred feet underwater, he probably can't be so arrogant.
"boom!"
He freed his right hand and slapped it with his palm. The fangs of the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake broke, and its body shook. It flew out like a cannonball. The place was like boiling water, with bubbles bubbling up.
The Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake was furious, its eyes became increasingly cold, it rushed over quickly, its tail swept out with such powerful force that this place became a vacuum zone, and the river water stagnated.
Wutan remained calm, and grabbed the snake with his big hand without moving his body at all. He held the snake's tail tightly. The power of the Nine-Nine Extremes was not something the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake could withstand. Its skin was immediately broken, and strands of blood flowed out, dyeing the river red.
"Hiss!" It screamed, its tongue moving unsteadily. The cold light in its narrow eyes disappeared, replaced by fear. The human in front of it was too powerful, and it had no power to fight back.
Wujit's palm was like an iron clamp. The Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake struggled hard, stirring up the river water and causing mud to rise up, but it was unable to break free. The wounds on its skin grew bigger and bigger, and blood continued to flow out.
"Hiss!" It began to beg for mercy, with a flattering look in its eyes.
The vibrations of the battle and the smell of blood immediately attracted many water beasts, including a meter-long green carp, a scaly water snake, a black and iron-like ferocious crocodile, an octopus the size of a mound of earth, and so on. They swam over quickly and surrounded the three people.
Wutan and the other man frowned and were about to take action, but the little guy took the lead and rushed out like an arrow from a fully drawn bow. Its two rows of steel teeth flashed silver light. Wherever it passed, blood spurted out and the river water was completely dyed red.
"Bang, bang!" The water beasts fell to the ground one after another, but they were not dead. The little guy showed mercy and did not attack their vital parts.
In less than ten breaths, the little guy returned to his original position, standing on Wutan's head, with one paw on his waist and the other pointing at the beasts, as if blaming everyone, with great dignity.
"Woo woo!" A group of water beasts actually prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing repeatedly with eyes full of admiration.
The little fellow frowned and waved his paw impatiently. The group of water beasts looked at each other, then kowtowed and bowed again, whining and seemed to be saying something.
The little fellow waved his claws again, grinning with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. Upon seeing this, all the water beasts scattered and fled.
At this time, Wutan's brows relaxed. The big man's momentum was disappearing quickly, and he should have left.
He called out, grabbed the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake, slowly swam to the surface of the water, popped his head out, looked around, saw no sign of the big man, then he breathed a sigh of relief and swam towards the other side.
Not long after, the three of them climbed ashore and couldn't help shivering. Their vital energy flowed through their bodies, driving away the cold, and they felt a hint of warmth.
"That was a close call!" Han Tian patted his chest, then stared at the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake and said fiercely: "It's all because of this damn beast that I lost two wind element essences. I'm going to kill you alive to make up for my loss."
"Hiss!" The Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake was frightened, and its head suddenly bounced up and bit Wujitian's palm, trying to escape.
Wu Tian's eyebrows stood up, and he slapped the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake with one palm, and the snake fainted. He returned it to Han Tian and said, "Wash it clean, and we'll go back and eat snake soup later."
"Okay!" Han Tian caught the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake, walked excitedly to the riverside, and began to gut it. He said, "Little thing, what did those water beasts want to do just now? Why did they kowtow to you?"
Hearing this, the little fellow smiled brightly and stood on the ground gesturing non-stop. The two of them watched for a long time before they understood that what it meant was that they all wanted to be my little brothers and follow me to explore the continent.
"Done." Han Tian stood up. The skin of the Seven-Step Life-Chasing Snake had been peeled off, revealing the tender snake meat. In the sunlight, it was shining with a hazy glow. Its flesh and blood was also a tonic, which was beneficial to one's cultivation.
"Then why don't you agree? It would be so impressive to take such a group of younger brothers with you!" Han Tian teased, carrying the snake meat and quickly rushing towards Tieshi Town.
The little fellow leaped forward, turned into a streak of silver light, and chased after him with his fangs and claws bared.
"Little thing, what are you doing? Don't eat it secretly. You have to take it back."
“Quack!”
An hour later, the three finally arrived at the entrance of Tieshi Town. There were many tents here and the crowd was dense. Some were sparring with each other, some were sitting on the ground alone, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and some were chatting and laughing. It was extremely lively!
"Hi! Brothers, you seem to be new here. Do you have a place to go? If not, welcome to join the New Student Alliance." Someone came forward to invite.
"New alliance?" Wutan wondered.
Han Tian explained: "When newcomers enter Yanzong, they will inevitably be bullied by the old ones, so in order to protect themselves and fight for resources, they will unite together, work together and support each other."
"What this brother said is that it is difficult for us newcomers to survive in Yanzong. If we don't unite, I'm afraid we will only be able to drink the wind. Brothers, are you interested in joining and contributing to the alliance?"
This is a young man, about the same age as the two of them, with long red hair draped over his back in a messy manner, which is very eye-catching. His facial features are distinct and angular, and he is smiling. His dark eyes are very clear, which makes people easily like him.
"Excuse me, buddy. We want to go for a stroll in the town first." Han Tian declined politely.
The red-haired young man said, "Okay, if you guys get into trouble in there, let me know and our alliance will go to help you right away. By the way, my name is Xu Yan, brothers. What's your name?"
"Gu Yi!"
“Han Tian!”
The two men clasped their fists.
"Brother Gu, Brother Han, this place is not like the countryside. It's a mixed crowd of good and bad people. There are all kinds of people. Try not to cause trouble. As the saying goes, if you are patient, you will have peace; if you take a step back, you will have a broad horizon." Xu Yan warned.
The two were stunned, smiled bitterly, and said, "We will remember it. Goodbye."
After saying that, he slowly walked into the checkpoint.
"Brother Wu, look at your clothes, they are tattered, you are dirty, your hair is in clumps, it looks like you haven't washed it in half a year, and you stink. Look, several flies have been killed by you." Han Tian teased.
Wu Tian shook his head and said nothing.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the gate of the Zhao family. There were four guards at the gate. They thought it was a beggar and were about to scold him. At this time, the two showed their tokens. Their faces changed, and they quickly made way and stood aside respectfully.
The two men were so dirty and smelly that people they met along the way pinched their noses and avoided them from a distance, looking at them with extremely strange eyes. If they did not believe in the strength of the Zhao family, they would really suspect that the two men had sneaked in.
