But what about Old Poison if I can run?
He certainly doesn't have as many soul bones enhancing him as I do.
If he falls behind, he'll definitely be attacked by this guy.
It's true that Old Poison defeated Chrysanthemum Pass last time.
But in reality, he won thanks to Stamina Pills.
His attack power isn't as good as Chrysanthemum Douluo's.
After all, he's only at Level Ninety-One now.
Compared to his opponent, he's still lacking a lot.
After all, one is a Hyper Douluo and the other is just a regular Titled Douluo.
In reality, there isn't much comparability between the two.
"Old Peel, you better not give up. Although we are slowly being caught up by them, we still have hope!"
Thinking Ye Feng was about to give up, Du Gubo immediately said to him.
He definitely couldn't give up.
If they gave up, they would really die here.
"How could I give up? I mean, we can fight with them."
Ye Feng said to Du Gubo.
"Fight with them??"
When Du Gubo heard this, his eyes went slightly blank.
Is Old Peel serious about hunting this hundred-thousand-year soul beast?
This is a wolf!
And a Gold-striped White Wolf at that.
He had also encountered this kind of wolf in the Aquipeia Forest.
It's a kind of soul beast that can absorb the essence of the moon for its cultivation.
Their combat power is also extremely terrifying.
And wherever there's a moon, they can receive reinforcements.
You could say that they are inexhaustible at night.
How could you possibly defeat such a soul beast?
Especially since Old Chrysanthemum isn't here now.
If he were here, there might be some possibility.
After all, three people working together...
"Yes, if we keep running like this, we definitely won't be able to outpace them; once we're tired, we become their food. It's better to plan in advance."
Ye Feng said.
"Don't we have Stamina Pills? With these pills, we should be able to run much further. Whether they can catch up to us or not is still unknown."
Du Gubo shared his thoughts.
Because they had Stamina Pills.
Running away could maintain their peak speed.
This was also their advantage.
If they really needed to run, there was still a chance.
"Have you forgotten that the Gold-striped White Wolf can absorb the Moon's Power for its own use? We have Stamina Pills, it's true, but if we keep running like this, it's unlikely that the beast will catch us before the Stamina Pills run out. But what if we use up the Stamina Pills? There are still five or six hours until dawn!"
Ye Feng spoke up.
Their pills would run out after just one use if they kept running at this speed for probably no more than an hour, while the moon still shone high.
Their Stamina Pills simply wouldn't last that long.
"This..."
At this moment, Du Gubo fell silent.
He seemed to be pondering something.
"There's another critical thing: our Stamina Pills have a limited number of uses. What do we do if we run into strong soul beasts after they run out? Could we escape again next time?"
Running blindly like this, there was a great chance of ending up in another soul beast's territory.
Then they might encounter other soul beasts.
They would just be waiting to die, exhausted.
The fact that this Gold-striped White Wolf could still pursue probably meant this was its territory.
That's why it could still follow them now.
In the outside world, each kind of soul beast had its own territory.
Tigers, lions, snakes, wolves, all were the same.
Other soul beasts invading their territory were seen as invaders.
Who would be subject to attacks.
Even severe cases could lead to clan wars.
Because territory is sacred and inviolable.
"This is an issue indeed, so let's just go ahead and make our move now. But man, you really are bold, Old Peel!"
Hearing Ye Feng's analysis, Du Gubo felt it made a lot of sense.
So, he decided to go straight into battle.
However, he really thought Ye Feng was incredibly bold.
Doing things unpredictably.
Why so?
Normally, when others encounter a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, they avoid it at all costs.
They think of countermeasures only when there is truly no way out.
But this guy, not even a minute into running away, had already thought everything through.
And even planned to take it head-on.
Impressive!
So daring!
"No rush, no rush, now is not the time yet, let's run to the cave ahead."
Ye Feng said to Du Gubo.
He had his own plans.
```
"A mountain cave ahead?"
Du Gubo looked toward the front, but there was no cave in sight.
Where the heck was the cave this guy was talking about??
"Speed up!!!"
Ye Feng, holding the Bloodthirsty Demon Scythe in a backhand grip, unleashed a Sky-tearing Soul Technique attack on the Gold-striped White Wolf.
In an instant, several slashes of blade energy targeted the Gold-striped White Wolf.
"Good!"
Du Gubo understood that Ye Feng was telling him to pick up the pace.
He immediately unleashed his real body state of martial soul and moved at full speed.
In his real body state, his speed also reached a pinnacle state.
"Howl!!"
The Sky-tearing strike passed by.
The Gold-striped White Wolf chasing behind swiftly dodged.
Not a single attack hit its mark.
But this was undoubtedly a provocation to the opponent.
Suddenly, a howl sounded.
The creature accelerated to its limit once again.
It was as if three gusts of wind were howling through the forest!
"There's a mountain up ahead!"
Du Gubo was somewhat surprised.
"There's a large cave on the left-hand side, get into it immediately!"
Ye Feng instructed.
He had just expended Money Ability to scout the terrain around them.
"Okay!!"
Du Gubo was swift, heading straight towards that direction.
"Gale-force Rush!"
Ye Feng also executed the Soul Skill Swift Wind.
"Quick, get inside, let's block the entrance with rocks!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo entered the cave.
"Old Poison, why block the entrance, just keep on rushing inside!"
Ye Feng, dragging Du Gubo along, ran further inside.
"Ah??"
Du Gubo became even more baffled upon hearing this.
Head further in?
Was there a mistake?
Shouldn't they be blocking this entrance?
"Swoosh—"
The Gold-striped White Wolf also entered the pitch-black cave.
As they were slightly delayed, Du Gubo and Ye Feng were now less than ten meters away from the Gold-striped White Wolf.
Meaning with just one sprint, they could possibly be attacked by the Gold-striped White Wolf.
But they were also very quick to react.
Every time the wolf almost caught up, they would frantically speed up.
They were always just a hair's breadth away.
This made the Gold-striped White Wolf extremely furious.
It felt as though it was being toyed with by two humans.
The ground where its claws had touched bore deep scratch marks.
It was obviously in a towering rage.
"Old Peel, where exactly are we going? We can't just keep running in this cave, right? What if we run into a hundred-thousand-year soul beast inside, wouldn't we be doomed!"
Du Gubo looked at Ye Feng.
He really couldn't make head or tail of what Ye Feng was planning.
"Don't worry, there aren't any soul beasts inside. It's just an active volcano," said Ye Feng.
"Active volcano???"
Upon hearing the first part, Du Gubo breathed a sigh of relief, but the latter part nearly made his brain explode.
Are you freaking kidding me, running into an active volcano??
What if it erupts?
Are they going to become roasted meat together here?
No, it won't even be roasted meat, it would be charred remains.
"Relax, the lava zone is still quite far, if we go about one kilometer further inside, we can make our move. The path is narrower there!"
Ye Feng assured Du Gubo.
"Narrow? Geez, worthy of being Flayer!"
Du Gubo seemed to have realized something and immediately nodded in agreement!
The body of the Gold-striped White Wolf was rather large, approximately the size of a rhinoceros or an elephant.
The entrance of the cave was initially quite spacious but got narrower as one went further inside.
Even turning around could be difficult.
Humans, however, were different.
In such a narrow cave, they could still maneuver flexibly and use their soul skills.
Thus, they held a natural advantage.
No wonder Flayer had refused to fight outside just now, he had found such a perfect battleground!
The one percent chance of killing it on the outside was probably going to rise to ten percent here.
You've got to admit, Flayer's brain is really something!
