A faint chill shot from the soles of their feet to the tops of their heads. Their hearts were clearly racing, yet their whole bodies felt cold, their calves trembling slightly beyond control.
"My life is over~" Mo Fan squeezed out four words as though his parents had just died.
"Go... go back. We can't... meet its eyes." Fan Gu turned around, trembling.
The others hurriedly lowered their heads and turned around. Then, walking on tiptoe with quick little steps, they retreated the way they had come, afraid that making too much noise would draw that great terror over.
"Who'll turn around and take a look? Did it... follow us?" Once they returned to their original spot, Fan Gu hurriedly asked.
Huo Dong Ming and Mo Fan exchanged a glance, then both shook their heads.
It was not that it had not followed them—they simply did not dare look back.
Rule Seven for surviving Black Wind Mountain: When you encounter something you cannot defeat, do not meet its eyes. Pray that, like a fart, it lets you slip through.
"It's gone." Just then, Qin He spoke.
"It really disappeared?" Fan Gu looked at Qin He. Seeing that he was staring without hesitation in the direction they had come from, he finally turned around with some belief.
Everyone turned back. Sure enough, the Humanoid Fierce Beast had vanished without a trace, and they all let out a great sigh of relief.
"What do we do next?" Huo Dong Ming asked quietly.
Fan Gu pondered for a few breaths, then shook his head. "We can only wait. Wait two hours and see whether it's gone. If it has, then our lives are blessed. If it hasn't, we'll be in trouble."
The other three looked at one another. They had no better idea.
