Liu Changxu and the other four fled promptly and decisively. Huang Tianjie summoned the Flying Cloud Boat and carried Xue Yuchan and the other three out of the battle, speeding away from Black Tiger Mountain.
After driving the five of them out of Black Tiger Mountain, the three Blackflame Tigers did not pursue them relentlessly. It was not that they did not want to-the Flying Cloud Boat was simply too fast.
Moreover, a flying boat powered by spirit stones was beyond comparison with Blackflame Tigers, which had to expend vast amounts of demonic power to fly using Wind Riding. Thus, once they had chased the five out of Black Tiger Mountain, they abandoned the pursuit.
Having escaped Black Tiger Mountain, the five landed on a hilltop, all shaken by lingering fear. None of them had expected another upper-grade second-tier Blackflame Tiger.
Moreover, the Blackflame Tigers were so adept at concealment that they had yet to spot even a single first-tier Blackflame Tiger.
Had they not picked the Flame Jujubes the Blackflame Tigers guarded, that upper-grade second-tier Blackflame Tiger probably would not have emerged either.
Though powerful, Blackflame Tigers were extremely cautious. Even when hunting, they took great care to conceal themselves, and their fur could block probes of spiritual sense. They often waited until their prey entered striking range before delivering a lethal blow.
This trait shrouded Blackflame Tigers in a veil of mystery. The five had therefore been quite lucky; otherwise, they might well have met with disaster.
Although they had failed to uncover the true situation of the Blackflame Tiger clan on Black Tiger Mountain that day, none of the five intended to return. Their lives mattered more, after all.
The day's harvest was still quite good. Xue Yuchan took out all the Flame Jujubes she had obtained.
