After entering the Stone Forest, the terrain indeed limited the Mad Demon Dark Gold Beast's speed. Its massive body squeezed through narrow gaps between the rocks, constantly crashing into boulders with thunderous bangs, yet it could never close in on Lin Taichu and the others.
Lin Taichu leaned against a boulder, gasping for breath as he checked his team members' injuries. "Zhao Hu, take two people and escort the wounded toward the Barracks. Break through and use the Communication Talisman to request reinforcements!"
Zhao Hu anxiously asked, "What about you?"
"I'll stay here with the others and hold it back," Lin Taichu said gravely. "That thing is too fast. If we all leave together, none of us will get away. Once you break through, bring reinforcements back as quickly as possible. We'll delay it for as long as we can."
