"What are you standing there dazed for?!" The Book Soul's voice startled Jiang Feng into a jump.
In that brief moment, the swarm of demon spirits he had originally left more than ten meters behind had once again closed in right at his heels.
Jiang Feng turned and ran. This time, he clearly felt much lighter, widening the distance again in a single breath.
Only when he reached the foot of the mountain did Jiang Feng realize that climbing it would be no simple task.
