045 - Let Me Draw It Away

We're done for.

The words flashed in Yang Zhou's head.

Specter! This is a Specter! A demonic beast of the same realm was nothing but an ant before it. Moreover, with this Specter already in the Harmonization Realm, I presume the stronger ferocious beasts were all eaten by it.

Even if such rare and scary ferocious beasts existed, I thought they would only be born in beast caves. To think we have come across one in the surroundings of the beast cave... How can we be so unlucky?! This is a ferocious beast that even teams from the Harmonization Realm would have trouble fighting against, and we are only a group of little disciples in the Inner Breath Realm ... This is practically the heavens digging a hole and telling us to jump to our deaths!

"What do we do?" Yang Zhou's voice trembled.

The young lady that thought she was done for, had already begun bawling her eyes out.

Gao Xiang gathered his spirits, trying to remain calm, and told Lu Mingshu, "I'll stay behind to distract it! You guys run first and look for the teacher!"

"No way." Lu Mingshu said resolutely, "We are too far away from the exit, and with your strength, you would at best, only be able to exchange a few moves with it before it catches up to us. What's more, the teacher might not necessarily be able to subdue it either."

A being such as this Specter— extremely strong and incomparably savage— had always been fought against with the tactic of swarming it with numbers. The teacher was but a Harmonization Realm practitioner and would not be a match for the Specter by fighting it alone.

"But ..."

"There's no need to do meaningless sacrifices. On the contrary, I'm afraid we will cause a disaster if we were to lead it back." There are over twenty Inner Breath Realm disciples at the river bank; if we are to lead the Specter there, wouldn't we just give it extra snacks?

"I don't want to be eaten, I don't want to be eaten ..." the young lady cried out. Her mental state had completely collapsed.

"Shut it!" Gao Xiang felt irritated at her crying. Furthermore, he also feared that her bawling would provoke the Specter.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Gao Xiang stared fixedly at the Specter, getting ready to attack at its slightest movement.

Lu Mingshu clamped her lips tightly, rapidly calculating in her mind. This was the most challenging plight she had ever been in since her birth. Even when she had been sent to another world by the Heavenly Wheel previously, she had never met such a savage opponent.

"Let me draw it away," she said resolutely.

"No way!" Gao Xiang shouted anxiously.

"You should know that, if there is anyone capable of drawing it away, that person would be me." Lu Mingshu remained unperturbed, "I have already remembered the topography here when I looked at the map earlier. There's a slope full of rocks to the west— a very complicated terrain. I will still have an opportunity to live if I flee towards that slope."

Gao Xiang still wanted to add a piece of his mind, but the Specter could wait no more; its shadow flashed, pouncing towards them.

Keng! Lu Mingshu lifted her sword to block the attack before Gao Xiang could have the opportunity to do so. "Leave now!"

"I ..."

"Go! Let's go!" The young lady yelled out in the midst of crying.

Yang Zhou steeled his heart. "Let's go!" he shouted and dashed towards the exit with the young lady on his back.
