Deep within a dark forest in the Abyssal Mountain Range.
"HUFF... HUFF...!"
Two disheveled figures leaned against the trunk of a large tree as if about to collapse, panting heavily. A deep sense of exhaustion clung to them from head to toe.
These two were none other than Lin Hai and Lin Tao.
After frantically fleeing the site of their battle with Hong Yu, they had continued to run for their lives, terrified that he might be in pursuit. After that fight, Hong Yu was no longer a pushover they could bully at will in their minds; he had transformed completely into a deadly menace!
"Big Brother, did... did that guy follow us?" Lin Hai, who had lost an arm, asked, his pale face filled with lingering fear.
Lin Tao glanced behind them and shook his head. "No."
"That's good."
Lin Hai's taut nerves instantly relaxed. He slumped to the ground as if all his strength had vanished, unable to even lift a finger.
Lin Tao took a deep breath, calming his own frayed nerves.
