For Ouyang Zixin and the others, a moment of tea felt as brief as a blink. They had barely escaped when the group of Mystical Beasts behind them quickly caught up again.
The area was filled with tall trees and dense foliage, blocking any light from penetrating the darkness.
If it weren't for Ouyang Zixin's extraordinary sensing ability, the three would likely have panicked and stumbled right into the path of the Mystical Beasts.
Liu Lvy, who practiced body forging, led the way, clearing away branches and thickets in their path. Ouyang Zixin was in the middle, responsible for sensing the surroundings and choosing relatively safe routes to escape.
The last one was Liu Ying, who practiced control techniques, making her perfectly suited to bring up the rear.
The trio maintained this formation as they sprinted forward. Occasionally, mid-level Mystical Beasts that outpaced them would catch up but were quickly dealt with.
“Turn left.” A sharp pain shot through Ouyang Zixin's mind; this was the first time her sensing ability had consumed so much energy since she began training. She felt like she could barely hold on.
She stumbled slightly, almost falling flat on her face, but fortunately, Liu Ying grabbed her just in time to prevent disaster.
“Miss, are you trying to circle back?” The path-clearing Liu Lvy heard the commotion behind but focused on her task and couldn't turn back to check on Ouyang Zixin.
At this moment, their formation changed to Ouyang Zixin being supported by Liu Ying, walking side by side. Her body was still too weak; the massive consumption of her sensing ability dragged down her agility.
Ouyang Zixin gritted her teeth, not slowing her pace, and said, “Not at all.”
Avoiding the situation is not a solution. Currently, the closest ones are the mid to high-level Mystical Beasts, while the low-level Mystical Beasts are further behind.
According to this arrangement, if the mid to high-level Mystical Beasts are led in circles, they will eventually end up at the back of the Mystical Beast group...
In the darkness, the person in front is running desperately, while the beasts behind are chasing reluctantly. If it weren't for the imminent danger, Ouyang Zixin would have laughed out loud at her own predicament and this ridiculous chase.
"Sito Rongyan, you are quite something." It was truly a case of falling into a trap; she had been thoroughly fooled by the lure powder meant to attract Mystical Beasts. Ouyang Zixin regretted it was too late now, blaming herself for not taking that little trick seriously from the start.
Now she was in a difficult position, wishing she had learned how to use medicine when she was following Rong Yi back then.
"Stop..."
At Ouyang Zixin's command, Liu Lvy was the first to halt, cautiously surveying their surroundings.
"Take off your outer garment. Liu Lvy, you don't need to take yours off; just run straight ahead for another three miles. Every mile, drop one piece. Your own outer garment should be the last to go," Ouyang Zixin said, slightly out of breath. "Then head northwest for about five miles; we will meet there."
Liu Lvy did not dare delay. She took the garments from both of them and followed orders to chase after the tail end of the Mystical Beast group.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Zixin and Liu Ying knocked down several trees by the roadside, laying them across the path before making their way toward the northwest.
Why did Miss wait until after running in circles to take off her outer garment instead of using this method from the beginning to shake off the pursuing Mystical Beasts?
Liu Lvy was puzzled; if they had taken off their outer garments from the start, they wouldn't be in such a dire situation.
But this was Ouyang Zixin's plan. Even if Liu Lvy didn't understand it, she followed through. The three-mile distance could be covered in no time. After dropping her last piece of clothing, she hurried to catch up with Ouyang Zixin and Liu Ying.
The Mystical Beasts that had originally been following Ouyang Zixin and her companions continued to pursue Liu Lvy based on scent, completely ignoring Ouyang Zixin and Liu Ying.
However, for some reason, as they ran, the enticing, no, the beastly scent grew fainter and fainter, with only a few tattered cloths on the ground still carrying a hint of the smell.
By the end, the alluring scent had nearly vanished, leaving only a faint trace in the surrounding air.
Leading the group was an adult Purple-Eyed Mad Tiger Xuan Iron Beast, which had the highest rank among the Mystical Beasts that attacked Ouyang Zixin and her companions, falling into the mid-high tier. Realizing that the humans had disappeared and the scent was fading, it instantly became furious, letting out a roar that echoed through the skies.
Humans are indeed cunning.
As its name suggests, the Purple-Eyed Mad Tiger Xuan Iron Beast has a pair of enchanting purple eyes and incredibly tough fur. After its furious roar, it noticed a mass of low-tier Mystical Beasts running ahead.
It was one thing for humans to be cunning; it was unexpected that these low-tier Mystical Beasts dared to run wild in this mid-high territory.
With a fierce leap, the Purple-Eyed Mad Tiger Xuan Iron Beast crushed one of the low-tier Mystical Beasts that was lagging at the back of the group under its massive paw. With its leadership, the mid-high tier Mystical Beasts quickly began hunting down their low-tier counterparts.
Bloodthirst spread through the dense forest, and a mist of blood filled the surroundings. The blood-crazed Mystical Beasts had long forgotten about Ouyang Zixin and her two companions.
In the northwest direction where the Mystical Beasts were slaughtering each other, Ouyang Zixin and Liu Ying were waiting for Liu Lvy to return from executing their mission.
This was the only elevated area in the entire forest. For some unknown reason, the surrounding Azure Sky Trees merely enclosed this spot, creating an isolated area.
No grass grew here, and it stood out starkly. Ouyang Zixin believed this place was special, so they chose to meet here. Even if Liu Lvy failed to incite a conflict among the Mystical Beasts, it was still worth taking a gamble.
A gamble that those Mystical Beasts would not dare approach.
After waiting for about a stick of incense's time, Liu Lvy's figure appeared in their line of sight.
"Miss, are you alright?" Among the three, Liu Lvy had the best physical condition; even after running for so long, she was only slightly out of breath.
"I'm fine." Aside from feeling physically exhausted, Ouyang Zixin did not have any other discomfort at the moment.
The Mysterious Energy in her Mind would not pose a significant issue as long as it was not recklessly used.
"Nameless." Ouyang Zixin attempted to contact Nameless, but unfortunately, there was no response.
"Miss, what should we do now?" Liu Ying had been keeping an eye out for any Mystical Beasts approaching, and it seemed that the three of them were safe for the time being.
"Are you curious why I took such a long detour before allowing you to remove your outer garments?" Ouyang Zixin's voice sounded slightly weary, but she felt it was necessary to let her two maidservants know her thoughts.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu exchanged glances and replied, "We did not question you, Miss."
A faint smile appeared on Ouyang Zixin's lips; these two maidservants had been well-trained by Rong Yi, and she was quite pleased with them.
"Think carefully. We will rest here on this high ground tonight. It won't be long before dawn. When that time comes, tell me your thoughts." Good subordinates must be able to understand their master's intentions and quickly grasp what the master's arrangements aim to achieve.
Only by achieving mutual understanding can they work together more harmoniously and walk further down the road ahead.
In the past, Ouyang Zixin did not need them to understand her thoughts. However, things were different now; these two would accompany her from now on. If they only acted according to orders without their own understanding, what would be the difference from a summoned Mystical Beast?
