But now, this team of six was wounded all over, and even Gong Kun's famed blade "Four-Leaf Sea" had developed cracks.
The group was frantically running for their lives.
"Gong... we're not going to make it. Just ahead is the Red Zone's Forest Sea!"
The speaker looked to be in his fifties, gasping for air, with a horrific wound on his back.
The others weren't faring much better, each bearing injuries.
Gong Kun spoke through gritted teeth:
"No one stop! Those Sky Guardian bastards targeted us from the start. We might not survive in the Forest Sea, but if we stop, we're surely dead!"
"But we... we just can't shake them off!"
Feeling the ghostly shadows behind them they just couldn't shake off, the youngest member of the team panicked.
Even out of the corner of his eye, Gong Kun could see that they had been running for nearly three hours, yet the Sky Guardian pursuers were relentless.
The gap wasn't shrinking, instead, it was slowly but surely closing in.
