With two prey bearing rare treasures slipping away right under its nose, the Blood-crying Mosquito Demon was naturally enraged and pursued them through the cave for a while. Then it unleashed all its fury on the other humans and demons. With the fearsome might of a Blood-crying Mosquito Demon at the Integrated Body realm, no one could stand in its way. Everywhere the old monster went, rivers of blood flowed.
Fortunately, the karst cave's terrain was extremely complex, and it severely restricted the Blood-crying Mosquito Demon's speed and Primordial Spirit. So although the old monster swept through like a plague of locusts, it couldn't wipe everything out as it could in the outside world. Each tribe that came under attack, whether human or demon, had at least a few members escape.
The Blood-crying Mosquito Demon reveled in slaughter, turning its path into a land of ghosts. After drinking its fill of vital blood and letting most of its rage dissipate, it finally left the cave. Even then, it circled the nearby mountains for nearly another month, but still saw no sign of Lu Xiaotian or Mo Yuyan. It hated the two to the point of grinding its teeth, but knew that once those clever juniors escaped, catching them again would be exceedingly difficult. The Integrated Body old monster couldn't be bothered to waste any more time. With a measure of regret, it withdrew and left.
They came across many places in the cave where people had met fates like those of the tribe members before them. After winding through the twisting passages for several months, they finally reached an exit at the other end, guided by Mo Yuyan. Before them lay familiar, bright sunlight and a stream flowing beneath a small bridge. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help feeling his spirits lift.
