With that, she swerved and dove into a cluster of half-protruding black rocks. She huddled behind one of the larger rocks and periodically peaked to observe the demon beast chasing them.
She discovered that the demon beast was nowhere to be seen.
However, Xu Zhiyin didn't let down her guard and continued to look around cautiously.
Meanwhile, a long shadow emerged from above the black rock...
