“Sister Cao, what do we do now?” Cui Yuehe looked at Cao Xi in fear, and the rest of the people were also looking at Cao Xi.
Usually when there was something going on, it was usually Cao Xie who made the decision, and now that they had met this situation, they naturally wanted Cao Xie to make the decision.
This kind of situation was not unheard of, but happened quite often. Once a swarm of ferocious beasts attacked a martial arts team, the stretcher bearers would basically die. Only a very few lucky stretcher bearers could escape with their lives. And this time, they had met even more ferocious flying beasts, so this situation was worse than nine deaths.
Di Jiu was completely ignorant of the situation over here, and was also looking at Cao Xie.
There were constant screams from not far away, the lion lords sometimes did not necessarily mean to eat people, but to catch these stretcher bearers in the sky and then throw them down to their death.
Cao Xie made her decision almost instantly, pointing in the direction of the Heavenly Wasteland and saying, “Let’s flee to the Heavenly Wasteland, now.” After saying this, Cao Xie led the way and rushed towards the long grassy strip at the edge of the flat wasteland.
The scene was extremely chaotic, and at this moment, even though Cao Xi and the rest of the group were fleeing in a different direction, no one cared. Even if they did see them, they would only think that Cao Xi was in a panic.
As the five rushed into the grass of the wilderness, the screams in the distance were becoming fewer and fewer, and they knew without looking back that more and more of them had not been killed by the Lion King.
The five were increasingly frightened, for the distance they had fled was nothing to the Lion King’s sight.
Di Jiu suddenly said, “I don’t think we can run any further, there is only one way to die if we run any further.”
The habit of Lion Lords suddenly appeared in his mind, this kind of flying ferocious beast was most adept at spotting moving targets. Their eyes were like radar, and any moving target would fall in their line of sight.
“Ah Jiu, what should we do?” Cui Yuehe was the slowest, and she knew that once the Lion Lords came, she was afraid that she would be the first to be taken out.
Di Jiu pointed to an overgrown ravine in the distance, “We’ll jump straight into this ravine, the weeds will block us and the Lion Lords won’t be able to see us. As long as the Lion Lords are gone, it’s not too late for us to come out again.”
“But I’ve heard that the Lion Lords can smell people ten miles away, we are afraid that jumping into this ravine is the way to find death.” Little Anhou stammered for a moment and said.
Di Jiu shook his head, “I feel that shouldn’t be the case, the Lion Lords don’t smell, they see through their eyes.”
Cao Xie could also see that they would definitely end up dying under the Lion King’s claws if they ran away again. There was nothing else to do but Di Jiu’s solution. She was the first to rush towards the ravine, “Let’s all jump in together.”
Cao Xi had taken the lead, and no one hesitated any longer. All of them followed Cao Xi and jumped into the ravine one after another.
The outside of the ravine looked overgrown with weeds and canopy thorns, and once they jumped in, it seemed to be five or six metres. Little Anhou was unlucky enough to step on a rock and break his leg bone. But he was tough enough to endure the pain and did not scream out.
The ravine below carried a fishy smell, with weeds of unknown age and stagnant water, and the crowd landed on it with a bad feeling all over their bodies. A few people could even feel the leeches crawling over their legs.
But with everyone’s lives at stake, no one said much and even held their breath.
The sounds of screaming in the distance became less and less, and finally tended to calm down. The five knew that this should be the stretcher-bearers finished being killed by the Lion Lords. As for those martial artists, they were all faster than one another and were afraid that they had long since fled to a safe place.
Time passed little by little, and after three hours had passed, Xiao Anhou could not hold back any longer, and he let out a gasp, “Sister Cao, my leg is broken, can I go out now?”
Before Cao Xie could say anything, Di Jiu said, “You can’t go out now, I have a feeling the danger hasn’t passed yet, wait a little longer.”
No one refuted Di Jiu’s words, before Di Jiu had told everyone to jump inside the ravine and indeed saved everyone’s life. The rumours they had heard before that the Lion Lords were scent sniffers, now it seemed obviously incorrect. If the lion lord could smell people, then I am afraid that the five of them would have been discovered by the lion lord long ago.
A slight roar came and then quickly moved away.
Da Mao said admiringly, “Ah Jiu, you’re really right, if we go out and happen to be seen by that motorbike guy, we’re bound to end up being taken out.”
If it was a large group of stretcher-bearers, they would probably be sent to Tianhuang City. If only the five of them were left, and there were still sick people around, I was afraid that no one would be willing to send them to Tianhuang City. Neither could they be sent to Tianhuang City, nor could they be allowed to go to the Tianhuang District, so they would have to be killed off.
Little Anhou said indignantly, “These b*****ds, they dare to ride over here, they are not afraid of attracting more powerful ferocious beasts.”
Di Jiu’s feeling of danger disappeared, but said, “We can go now, and we have to hurry. In a few hours, maybe someone will find this place.”
“What Ah Jiu said is right, let’s hurry.” Cao Xi also said.
It was true that the Lion Lords couldn’t find their location, but some ferocious beasts specialized in sniffing humans, and once they caught a human’s scent, they had just left the tiger’s mouth and fallen to the wolves. Besides, even if there were no beasts, they would still be found if the people of Tianhuang City found them here. They had all kinds of instruments, so it would be easy to find the few people hiding in the ravine.
As the five of them struggled to get up from the ravine, almost everyone had a few leeches stung on them. Little Anhou was the worst off, with at least twenty leeches on him.
After cleaning up his body, Cao Xi said, “Da Mao, you carry Little Anhou on your back, we’ll escape to the Heavenly Desolate District now.”
Without Cao Xi having to say anything, Da Mao already carried Little Anhou on his back. At this moment, it was dark, and the five of them took advantage of the dimness to rush into the Heavenly Desolation Zone.
……
While Di Jiu and the five escaped into the Sky Desolate District, a big event happened in Sky Desolate City. This is naturally not a matter of a martial arts team being attacked by a lion lord, this kind of thing is so common that it happens almost every year many times, it is nothing at all.
The big event was the search for a famous doctor, whose name was Di Jiu, and there were two portraits of him. One portrait was before Di Jiu’s disguise, and one portrait was after Di Jiu’s disguise.
Even if Di Jiu was cautious and careful, his portrait of climbing a big truck was still recorded by the surveillance and found, and then hung in all corners of Tianhuang City, even on major websites.
If we talk about power, the director of the Tianhuang District Martial Hospital, Yu Yupin, is at most ranked fifth.
The most powerful alliance in the Tianhuang District was the Tianhuang District’s number one alliance, the Great Desolate Alliance, which had many top-level powerhouses in the Tianhuang District and was rumoured to have martial powerhouses that had surpassed the heavenly level. It was said that the Alliance’s leader, Great Desolate Mu, was an existence whose martial dao had broken through to the Heavenly level.
Originally, his surname was not Great Desolate, but he changed his surname to Great Desolate only after he came to the Heavenly Desolate District and formed the Great Desolate Alliance.
At this moment, there were eight people sitting on the top floor of the highest building in Tianhuang City, the Tianhuang Federation building. These eight people were all existences that would make the ground tremble three times when they stomped their feet in the Heavenly Desolate District.
The one sitting at the top of the pile was none other than the Great Wasteland Alliance’s Alliance Master, Da Wasteland Mu. While the Great Wasteland Alliance had a big name, Da Wasteland Mu looked like a scholar with clear eyebrows. He dared to sit at the head of the table, not only because he was the leader of the Great Desolate Alliance, but also because he was the vice-president of the Heavenly Desolate Federation.
Next to him was only the mayor of Tianhuang City, Cai Jien, and as for Yu Yu Pin, he was sitting further on the edge.
“Mayor Cai, I heard that the whereabouts of that Di Jiu has been found?” Great Desolate Mu’s gaze fell on Cai Jien, his tone extremely soft.
The reason why a character like Great Desolation Mu was looking for Di Jiu was clear in everyone’s mind. It was because Great Desolate Mu had a son called Great Desolate Snow Sword, who had the same disease as the Zeng family’s Zeng He daughter. It was after cultivating martial arts that his body’s vitality collapsed and he now looked like he only had one breath left. That Di Jiu had saved a similar patient in Jinhai, it would be strange if Dahuang Mu was not eager to find Di Jiu.
