Xiao Chen sighed helplessly, Zhao Lin'er truly had guts, even risking her life to put him in a desperate situation. He spun around fast and raced, he could not let himself be torn apart by such a ferocious beast.
"Crack!"
A harsh sound rang beside him, the robust and powerful claws of the Tyrannosaurus stepped on a huge tree, dangerously falling near Xiao Chen, letting him brush by death.
Xiao Chen didn't want to die, but now he felt rather hopeless. Having been discovered by this ancient ferocious beast, how could he escape from here? Even though he got rid of Zhao Lin'er, he once again fell into a deadly situation.
"Crack, crack!"
The sound of giant trees breaking, like the sound of the death god's chains, continued to ring around Xiao Chen. Even if he pushed his speed to the limit, it was still no match for the Tyrannosaurus that could cross over a dozen meters in a single step!
"Roar..."
The Tyrannosaurus roared to the heavens, its rolling voice nearly causing Xiao Chen to faint. He hurriedly closed his ears, and despite this, he still felt as if his eardrums were splitting, aching terribly.
He rolled on the ground, covered in mud. Nearby, that cold glint flashed, its giant, unparalleled dragon claw deeply stabbing into the ground over a meter deep. Xiao Chen sweated profusely, and just a bit further and he would have been penetrated!
Xiao Chen was not a person who easily gave up, but now he felt he truly might not escape alive.
A flash of silver, Xiao Chen suddenly discovered that a horse carved from divine jade appeared not far away, its large eyes like black gems, filled with fear. But it still leapt onto the tree branches, lightly running circles around the Tyrannosaurus.
Distracting the attention of the ancient beast Tyrannosaurus? Xiao Chen was amazed, this young Unicorn Divine Beast had run over here, it seemed... to want to save him!
The Tyrannosaurus was indeed distracted, its ferocious dragon head turning towards the little Sky Horse shimmering with rosy light, then it roared and forced itself towards it.
Xiao Chen quickly stood up and ran hundreds of meters away in one breath, but then stopped again. He was afraid the little unicorn would get into danger. This adorable and mysterious little Sky Horse had come to save him. If something truly did happen, he would feel guilty.
Little Sky Horse stepped on the tree crowns, as fast as lightning. In an endless primitive old forest, like a beam of light moving. Even the ancient overlord dragon as big as a mountain, taking dozens of meters with each step, still had difficulty catching it.
The little Unicorn was simply too mystical, bounding from one tree crown to another, its whole body glowing with colors, really like it was flying.
Xiao Chen put down his worry and left without looking back. Of course, he couldn't head in the direction of the coast. He could imagine that Zhao Lin'er would be waiting for him on the way back. The island was indeed dangerous, but there was no one intentionally trying to kill him there, so it might be safer for him right now.
In this dark rainy night, Xiao Chen coughed up blood while he ran, not looking back, not stopping. In this time Little Unicorn was fighting the Tyrannosaurus, he had to escape from the domain of this ancient beast!
Until he passed over dozens of miles amid the mountains, he collapsed in the rain. His body, severely injured by Prince Feng, was finally unable to keep going. Lying in the muddy water, blood mixed with rain water overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Chen felt his eyelids heavy, desperately wanting to fall asleep, but he knew he couldn't do that. In the endless primitive forest, brutal beasts roamed. As soon as the rain stopped, he would become a meal for the ferocious beasts.
He struggled to stand up and looked back at the path he'd come. He was already far enough away from the ferocious dragon. He climbed laboriously into a tree, then passed out on its large branches.
During the dark rainy night, Xiao Chen felt Little Sky Horse seemed to come to his side. The creature, radiant and snow white, circled around him. Blinking its large eyes that were full of spiritual energy, it stretched a glossy front hoof, seemingly wanting to touch him but was too scared and retracted it...
By the time Xiao Chen woke, it was noon. The heavy rain had already stopped, sunshine was trickling through the leaves and branches. He sat up desperately, looking around at his surroundings.
Rich ancient woods were all around, under one of the large trees, a saber-toothed tiger was glaring at him fiercely. Not too far away, a large snake as thick as a water barrel was curled in a pile of rocks, not moving; farther away, several giant crocodiles were surfacing and submerging in a river.
It was a rather safe place; the few beast insects below were considered formidable beasts. However, compared to the bizarre and brutal savages, they were already considered the gentle and weak kind.
Nevertheless, Xiao Chen felt he should find another place. About two miles away, he found a floral fragrant small peak. This place had a higher ground, which allowed him to overlook everything around him, not only for guarding against Zhao Lin'er, but also to detect any potential disturbances from surrounding barbarian beasts in advance.
This escape from a life-threatening situation was all thanks to the help of Little Unicorn. Xiao Chen was still in shock.
At the same time, he was very puzzled. The legendary ancient overlord dragon could control wind and lightning, it could fly and tunnel, but the Tyrannosaurus he saw in the rainy night didn't show this divine power. It only showed its beastly side, not its divine side. Was the legend untrue?
That couldn't be it!
Like the Evil Octopus Dragon, many ancient books recorded their various great divine powers, they surely weren't just strong beasts!
Xiao Chen remembered a phrase of Prince Feng's about the island: "It requires the Heavenly God Stele to suppress it!"
The ancient ferocious beasts lost their divine skills, could it be related to this? Xiao Chen thought about a lot...
Near the small peak, the grass was fresh, the woods lush. There even was a spring gurgling, adding a touch of spiritual energy to this place.
After enjoying the pretty good lunch, Xiao Chen lay on a hammock made of vines among the trees, tasting the pineapple soaked in the spring, smelling the refreshing fragrance of the flowers and grass, listening to the beautiful bird songs from afar. He felt completely relaxed.
This time, Prince Feng harmed himself to severely injure Xiao Chen. If it weren't for timely evasion and defense, Xiao Chen could have already lost his life. Even now, he would need at least a month of recuperation before he could fully recover.
Thirty days! Xiao Chen needed peaceful thirty days. If he could survive it in peace, it would be the beginning of Zhao Lin'er's nightmare!
Time is life, Xiao Chen did not want to waste even a second, he started operation of the ancient monument cultivation to heal.
The lush forest area was full of vegetation, brimming with endless grass and wood essence. Xiao Chen stood in the forest, feeling the freshness of the grass and woods' aura, guiding this Yuan Qi into his body.
Small strands of green light flowed within his body according to his breathing rhythm, joyously and filled with boundless vitality. His flesh, viscera, and bones all seemed to be filled with endless life force...
