"I'll be fine. You go on ahead. I'll catch up soon," Gao Qi urged.
"..." Liu Huimin and Wang Man fell silent at once, neither of them moving.
"If you don't leave now, it'll be too late. Go, hurry!" Gao Qi reached out and shoved one of his companions.
"You have to catch up," Liu Huimin said. Then she and Wang Man quickly ran toward the weakest point in the encirclement in the distance.
"Roar..."
The Lava Monsters let out a series of roars, preparing to stop Liu Huimin and Wang Man from escaping.
"Whoosh."
The Great Iron Hammer, glowing with a pale golden light, shot through the air. It flew over Liu Huimin and Wang Man's heads and struck a Lava Monster that was preparing to intercept them, smashing it to the ground.
With the obstruction gone, Liu Huimin and Wang Man successfully escaped the encirclement.
When the two stopped and looked back, they saw that Gao Qi had picked up the Great Iron Hammer he had thrown. He was blocking the Lava Monsters that were preparing to pursue them, entangling them in a desperate struggle.
"Go!" Gao Qi saw that his two companions had stopped instead of continuing to flee. He immediately grew anxious and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Damn it! You go. I'm going back to help him." Wang Man turned around.
"Don't let his efforts go to waste. We're leaving..." Liu Huimin reached out and grabbed Wang Man's arm, dragging him away.
"Let go."
"Don't go and throw your life away."
"Do you expect me to stand by and watch Gao Qi die at the hands of those Lava Monsters?"
"Going back now won't change anything. The only thing we can do is leave quickly and find other people to save him."
"..."
