Chapter 1233A. The Great Beast Awakens
…
Since they had safely come out, there wasn’t a need to think about it anymore. Doing so would only create more panic. Moreover, there was an even more important issue in front of them right now. The transmission failed to reach the originally intended location, so had they escaped the pursuit of that Saint?
As if sensing the question in Qin Yu’s eyes, Peachy lightly said, “I’m not sure.” When she finished speaking she wavered a little. Then, she closed her eyes and slumped over.
Qin Yu jumped forward and reached out to grab her. He shouted at her, but there was no movement. Luckily, after inspecting her condition he found that her aura was still stable. Just before, she had said she was fine and also put on an appearance as if there was no problem, but then she passed out in the blink of an eye.
Qin Yu was left speechless for a moment. He furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the unconscious Peachy, even more sure that she had some sort of problem. He had to figure out what it was first.
Since this involved Ning Ling and You Qi, his resolve was firm. Of course, that was also a matter for later. Just now, Peachy had said she wasn’t sure if the Saint was still chasing after them.
Regardless of whether her judgment was accurate or not, even if there was only a 1% chance of this being true, Qin Yu couldn’t take that risk, especially after experiencing the power of the Saint behind the shadow.
It was better to go into hiding!
He picked Peachy up and looked around. This was a completely strange place, so looking around was only so useful. He hastily chose a direction and started howling away.
Everything Qin Yu did now was under the assumption that the Saint was still chasing after them. So, every extra moment that they were still safe was extremely precious. There was no time to waste. He had to hurry and create safe conditions for the two of them as soon as possible.
Above his head, the scorching sun was like fire but the earth was not dry. Coupled with the oppressive humidity and heat in the air, as well as the incredibly lush vegetation, it wasn’t difficult for him to determine what sort of climate this world had.
He looked at the skies. Although the blazing sun was up high, clouds had condensed. There was going to be a torrential rainstorm soon.
He looked at the unconscious Peachy in his arms. Leaving her in the heavy rain wasn’t a good choice. He had to find a resting place quickly.
As he was deep in thought, Old Turtle who was busy digesting the buffet meal that was ‘Lian Yi’ suddenly said, “Stop!”
It was sudden and without any warning. But the moment Qin Yu heard this, he abruptly froze in place. With a groan in his mouth and his chest aching, he exhaled and asked, “What is it?”
“Master, do not speak. Step backwards, one step at a time, and don’t make a single sound.” Old Turtle said, his voice shivering a bit.
Qin Yu didn’t say a word. He hugged Peachy and subconsciously moved backwards. Of course, this took a lot of time, but the more he came to understand Old Turtle, the more he understood that he could not act recklessly right now.
Everything was peaceful. There was nothing but a mountain covered in dense vegetation in front of him, with nothing unusual about it.
When he fell back a thousand feet, Old Turtle suddenly shouted, “Run, hurry and run!”
Qin Yu subconsciously moved. As he was about to turn and flee, he suddenly paused again.
Old Turtle was anxious, “Master, my master, why did you stop? If you don’t hurry up it will be too late! Run!”
Qin Yu didn’t dare to take a deep breath. He looked at the bulging mountain up ahead and asked, “What is up ahead to make you so scared?”
“I don’t know.” These words would definitely receive a punch. Old Turtle hurriedly explained, “I don’t dare to speak too much because it might sense it and awaken. That thing is like the spirit body in the Endless Sea, something bred from the world. I just ate a spirit body, and if it discovers that, things will definitely be bad!”
After speaking, he seemed to realize something and said, “This is because I don’t want to cause any trouble for master. After all, we are trying to escape right now.”
Qin Yu’s eyes flashed, “Is it strong?”
“Very strong. That spirit body in the Endless Sea could be called a slightly older child compared to this big boss. Master is right. I am interested in it, but it isn’t something that we can provoke right now!” Old Turtle did his best to convince Qin Yu to leave as soon as possible.
There was some struggle in Qin Yu’s eyes but he soon came to a decision. “Shut up and hide your aura. If it senses you, I’ll break you into pieces!”
Here it was, here it was again. It was his favorite phrase again!
I already told you everything, so why are you messing around and not leaving? Isn’t it wonderful to leave peacefully?
Cursing was one thing, but Old Turtle had already figured out a general approximation of Qin Yu’s personality and knew that there was no way of reversing this decision. He could only do his best and roll himself into a ball like a true turtle, shrinking as far into his shell as possible.
As for what happened now, he could only resign himself to the will of the heavens. Being in the hands of a master who wasn’t happy unless he was in trouble all the time was truly despairing!
Qin Yu looked at Peachy and hesitated a little. He turned and prepared to leave.
Old Turtle was immediately overjoyed. He thought that the sun was suddenly rising from the west. Qin Yu had made a decision but had immediately eaten his words!
But this joy only lasted for a brief period of time. Qin Yu came to a stop and looked around. After not discovering anything wrong, he lay Peachy down. After a bit of hesitation, he mumbled an apology beneath his voice and reached out and cut off a lock of her hair. Then, he turned without hesitation and returned back to his original path, heading straight for the mountain.
“Master…”
“Shut up!”
Qin Yu didn’t stop. He flew until he was a short distance away from the mountain and then stopped.
He moved carefully a little and returned to the place where he originally came to a stop. After pausing for a few breaths of time, he decided there wasn’t a problem.
He stretched out a hand and spread his five fingers. A gust of wind blew and the black hair in his hands flew off, wrapped up in the wind.
Rumble rumble –
The sounds of rumbling came from up above his head. The weather was much darker than before.
It was going to rain soon!
Qin Yu turned and walked away. After leaving the danger zone, he turned and shot into the skies.
He found Peachy and held her in his arms. Then, without hesitation, he reversed direction and sped away.
Although he had no idea whether his preparations just now would be useful or not, since he knew well that there was a great terror hiding there, going far away from it would never be a bad decision.
An hour later, as a bolt of lightning tore through the dark vault of heaven, a rainstorm poured down. Billowing thunderclaps transmitted from afar.
Whoosh –
The curtain of rain was torn apart. Qin Yu grasped Peachy and rushed into a cave.
Within the darkness, several pairs of faint green eyes lit up. Several native creatures roared threateningly as they faced uninvited guests.
But what a pity, the difference in strength was too great. With several muffled sounds and whimpers, black figures were thrown into the rain. They got up onto their feet and fled with their tails between their legs, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
He didn’t kill them because he was worried that the scent of blood would be discovered. Although the chances of that happening weren’t too high, in this current situation it was never wrong to be more careful.
With a thought, light bloomed above his head, illuminating the cave.
Peachy was still unconscious. In order to ensure they were a safe enough distance away, he had to speed up and travel further, leading to her being soaked wet.
It was unknown what material her pink dress was made of, but after Peachy fell unconscious, it seemed much more delicate. Now that it was soaked by rain water, it had became translucent in color, clinging to her so tightly that the scene in front of him suddenly became vivid and fragrant.
But in Qin Yu’s eyes there was no difference. He placed a finger between her eyebrows and then took it back a few breaths later.
He let out a breath. This was good. She was still unconscious, but her aura was still steady and hadn’t worsened.
With a thought, hot air gushed out, instantly drying their clothes.
Then the sun and moon force field was released, covering the two people.
After completing this, Qin Yu looked up. The sphere of light popped and quietly dissipated.
The cave fell into darkness. Thee violent thunderstorm outside continued to pour, flooding the air with a damp and hot scent.
As the heavy rain fell, the slight traces left behind by the two outsiders – besides those deliberately left behind hair strands – were all cleaned up.
…
An empty space opened up in the curtain of rain, as if an invisible mouth had taken a bite from it. The young man stepped out, looking up into the skies and frowning.
It seemed he didn’t like rainy weather. But soon, his mood became one of joy.
Because this time, he hadn’t wasted his efforts. Although it was weak, he could still detect those familiar spatial fluctuations.
They were here!
They didn’t break through space and leave again. This was an intelligent choice. Because in front of a Saint who grasped the Space Laws, the direction after breaking through the world boundaries would be much clearer. It was far better to go into hiding here and live just a little bit longer.
Of course, this was just a little longer.
His main body had arrived, meaning that the ties of karma were now involved. Even if he managed to smoothly kill Peachy, there was a chance he could be locked onto.
But the most direct change brought about by the arrival of his main body was that he could erupt with his greatest strength.
A Saint that attacked with their full strength was much more terrifying that one that had to limit themselves to conceal their presence. Just where could those two little kids hide?
His perception swept around. But to his surprise, there was nothing to be gained. Had they already sensed a disturbance and done something to prepare for it? They were smart enough.
But even if he couldn’t lock onto their aura field, to a Saint, chasing after them wasn’t too difficult.
“I’m coming for you two.” The young man chuckled. Then, he stepped out and vanished from sight.
Although Peachy and Qin Yu were unlikely to remain at the place where they entered this world, it was still worth the trip. Maybe they had left some clues behind.
He took a step forward and disappeared. When he reappeared, he had crossed endless space. What lay in front of him was where Peachy and Qin Yu had appeared.
As the thunderstorm raged around him, the young man squatted down, rubbed his hand along the ground, and took a sniff of it.
He flicked his fingers, removing the mud and dirt. Although wind and rain howled everywhere, none of it was able to touch him.
The Saint’s path could not be invaded by all things. This was only a minor trick.
“This way.”
