Chapter 70: Turning the Tables Successfully
Seeing the couple getting intimate right in front of him, the figure was filled with anger. He deeply hated Duan Gujin; he wished to tear Duan Gujin into a thousand pieces.
"Kill!"
However, that figure didn't command the large pack of Cannibal Wolves behind him to launch a fierce attack on Duan Gujin, fearing that Meng Yun might get bitten accidentally.
Duan Gujin's Divine Sense locked onto that figure; he hurriedly circulated his Primordial Power, getting ready to use Meteor Sparks.
As soon as that figure came a bit closer, he would strike decisively.
"Just a little closer!"
After the figure was less than ten meters away, Duan Gujin's eyes shone brightly.
By now, he was certain that what he was seeing was not an illusion, but the true form of that figure.
"It's time to make a move!"
With a thought, he quickly held Meng Yun in front of himself.
The figure didn't come too close, apparently not wanting to harm Meng Yun.
"I haven't had a woman in a long time; a beauty finally shows up. Once this chance is missed, there won't be a second time!"
That figure immediately stopped in their tracks.
Seeing the figure halt, Duan Gujin's mind was filled with confusion; he couldn't understand why the figure would stop for no reason.
"Let her go, and I'll let you leave! I only want her!"
It was at that moment, the figure spoke indifferently.
What?
Upon hearing the figure's words, Duan Gujin was slightly startled, not expecting such a remark.
After a brief thought, he understood why the figure had said that.
His eyes widened, and he finally saw clearly the face of the figure.
But once he saw the real face of the figure, he almost felt like vomiting.
The man's face was filled with pits and unevenness, terribly rugged with not a single smooth area.
His face was covered in blisters, looking extremely ferocious.
At this time, Meng Yun also turned to look at the man.
When she saw the man's face clearly, her pink and pretty face turned deathly pale.
"We're going to die here...!"
Before Duan Gujin could finish, he decisively shot countless Hidden Weapons at the man's body.
While firing Hidden Weapons at the man, he swallowed Elixir Pills, rapidly recovering his Primordial Power.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The numerous Hidden Weapons sped towards the man, who moved at extreme speeds to dodge, avoiding the deadly assault.
Seeing this, Duan Gujin had already assessed the man's strength and was preparing to strike a fatal blow.
This lethal strike had to be accurate without fail!
After dodging Duan Gujin's Hidden Weapons, the man burst into arrogant laughter.
"Kid, is that all you've got?"
Duan Gujin didn't immediately attack the man again but paused for a moment.
After waiting a bit, the man charged at them.
He had assessed that Duan Gujin's strength was nothing special, and he could easily defeat Duan Gujin, then snatch Meng Yun from his grasp.
"After I take that beauty, I'll feed the male to the wolves, and the female will stay to become my slave, to bear my children!"
The man was delightfully thinking to himself.
He had only advanced a short distance when he saw Duan Gujin launching Hidden Weapons at him. With a thought, he quickly used his Primordial Power to form a protective barrier, forcibly blocking Duan Gujin's Hidden Weapons.
In his eyes, the Hidden Weapons that Duan Gujin had just released were mere child's play, completely unworthy of his attention.
However, what he didn't expect was, in the next moment, he sensed an extremely powerful spatial fluctuation suddenly appearing in the void ahead.
A sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang in his ears; realizing the impending danger, his heart pounded violently, and he moved at extreme speeds to dodge this calamity.
Moments later, a loud boom sounded, and the man's body was blasted over ten meters away.
Seeing that the man was truly hit by the Meteor Sparks, Duan Gujin quickly rushed towards where the man had fallen, firing Hidden Weapons at the man's body as he went.
The initial Hidden Weapons he had launched at the man were only at thirty percent strength; now that he had the opportunity, he was ready to channel all of his remaining Primordial Power into the Hidden Weapons, aiming at the man's body.
He would only be at ease after seeing the Hidden Weapons hit the man's body with his own eyes!
Soon, he saw that the man's body was struck by more than a dozen of his Hidden Weapons.
"Perfect!"
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He looked around and saw that the pack of Cannibal Wolves started to fiercely pounce towards him and Meng Yun.
He quickly turned and ran to Meng Yun's side.
At this point, he was already exhausted, but he had to be with Meng Yun at this moment, fearing she couldn't handle those Cannibal Wolves.
"Don't move recklessly! I'll use the poison!"
Duan Gujin wasn't certain if the Fire Poison Powder would kill the Cannibal Wolves, so he could only pray that it would work.
"Is he dead?"
Meng Yun found it hard to accept this sudden turn of events.
The speed of Duan Gujin's counterattack was just too fast, and at first, she thought they were both doomed.
She never imagined that Duan Gujin could overturn the situation at the last moment!
"Yes, I'm sure he's truly dead! We have to deal with these Cannibal Wolves together!"
Just as Duan Gujin was unsure what to do about the dozens of Cannibal Wolves surrounding them, the next moment, he saw all the wolves pounce on the dead man's body and start tearing him apart frenziedly.
Seeing this, Duan Gujin had an idea and immediately told Meng Yun to take him and leave.
"Okay!"
Without any hesitation, Meng Yun started to flee with Duan Gujin at high speed.
Moments later, they saw the large pack of Cannibal Wolves rushing towards them.
Meng Yun gasped in shock, no longer caring about propriety between men and women, and ran as fast as she could while holding Duan Gujin's hand.
After sprinting a hundred meters, they saw the mist around them clearing rapidly.
"The fog is dispersing!"
After running another dozen meters, they saw no more mist ahead.
They were ecstatic, knowing they had escaped the Illusion Array.
"I understand, with the death of that man, the Illusion Array here disappeared!"
"Yes! Exactly! It must be so!"
Meng Yun carried on running with Duan Gujin for a while and realized that he had very little Primordial Power left in him.
After a mad dash and ensuring no Cannibal Wolves were behind them, Duan Gujin chose an open space to sit cross-legged and swiftly consumed some Elixir Pills to recover his strength.
"Are you okay?"
After seeing Duan Gujin's complexion improve slightly, Meng Yun finally asked.
"I'm fine, I just overextended myself!"
Duan Gujin honestly replied.
He sent his Divine Sense outwards for inspection and discovered that they had exited the Illusion Array with his Divine Sense Inspection now reaching a range of one kilometer.
"Let's rest well here! After recovering our strength, we'll make a decision!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Okay!"
Meng Yun also knew that Duan Gujin had exhausted his Primordial Power and needed to recuperate properly.
So, she stood guard over Duan Gujin's safety.
Time passed bit by bit, and after half a day, Duan Gujin had finally fully recovered his strength.
He immediately asked Meng Yun, "Meng Yun, do you want to go back, or should we continue forward?"
Meng Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go forward. It wasn't easy for us to get here; if we retreat at the first sign of setback, that would be too cowardly!"
"Okay!"
Duan Gujin immediately proceeded forward with Meng Yun.
After traveling about ten kilometers, they saw a pile of White Bones on the ground.
Duan Gujin saw that nearby was the cave where he and Meng Yun had previously taken shelter and surmised that the bones on the ground were that of the man they encountered before.
His Divine Sense Inspection lingered over the White Bones on the ground but found no useful clues.
"Let's keep moving!"
Duan Gujin swiftly moved forward with Meng Yun, keeping a distance of over a hundred meters from the sea just as before to avoid stealth attacks by Cannibal Wolves lurking in the water.
Meng Yun nodded slightly, not daring to glance at the bones on the ground.
In truth, she was extremely fearful, terrified of ending up like the pile of bones on the ground.
"Meng Yun, if you're scared, we can retreat!"
Seeing Meng Yun's pale face, Duan Gujin understood what was on her mind.
"Let's move forward!" Meng Yun contemplated for a moment and then said.
"Good! If we encounter someone who can command those Cannibal Wolves again, we'll immediately leave this place! The fact that I was able to kill that man earlier was purely luck! That man was lecherous; he wanted you. So, I took advantage of his weakness and launched a stealth attack. If our next enemy isn't lecherous, then we're definitely dead!"
Duan Gujin stated.
"Understood!"
Meng Yun took a deep breath, still shaken when she recalled the previous man.
