Qin Ruo knew that he had successfully escaped Cerberus' pursuit the moment he was dragged into the forest by Poochie that moved as fast as lightning. He was certain because the Tier 5 hound was no longer within his Elemental Perception range.
Qin Ruo loosened his grip on Poochie's tail after a short pause. Carried forward by the momentum, he swung his extended left limb in water form to the far side and grabbed tight onto a broad branch. He then flung forward like a Tarzan and swung from one tree to another. To be honest, he preferred to move in such way rather than being dragged and bumping on Poochie's backside.

Roar!
When he was about two hundred meters away from the waterfall, Qin Ruo heard the extremely angry call of Cerberus coming from the waterfall's direction. As he had expected, Cerberus was not allowed to leave the waterfall due to its guarding duty at the dimensional portal that led to the Underworld.
