The Tyrannical Savage before them truly demonstrated to everyone what a peerless ferocious Ferocious Beast was. Whether it was its incredibly destructive laser or its current insane self-healing method, it was beyond everyone's imagination.
"Damn it, am I, Old Zhao, destined to die in the mouth of such a beast after a lifetime of carefree living?" Zhao Wuji said with a bitter laugh.
Qi Ling then proactively severed her connection with the Spirit Gathering Array. Now, she alone could no longer stop Tyrannical Savage in a short time, and continuing would only be a waste of time.
" Xiao San, you guys go check on the teachers' injuries first, then carry them here," Qi Ling ordered the group. "Fatty, Mubai, I'm counting on you for Teacher Zhao."
After everyone helped the teachers up as Qi Ling had instructed, they gathered together, their faces filled with sorrow. Tang San said, "Big Brother, we're all prepared. Now, just give the order!"
Ma Hongjun, feigning generosity, said, "Haha, although we couldn't be born on the same day, month, and year, it's not bad to die on the same day, month, and year!"
"You idiot, who said we'd die?" Qi Ling laughed and scolded. "Everyone, take your teachers and leave this place immediately! Don't look back before you leave Sunset Forest!"
Upon hearing Qi Ling's order, everyone was stunned. Xiao Wu was the first to react, anxiously asking, " Brother Qi, what about you? You'll be coming with us too, right?"
"No, if we leave together, it will catch up with us in less than ten minutes," Qi Ling said, looking at Tyrannical Savage, who was almost fully recovered. "So someone has to stay behind and hold it off."
"No! Brother Qi, if you're leaving, we'll leave together. If you're not leaving, we won't leave either!" Xiao Wu exclaimed excitedly, and the others all agreed.
"Big brother, you said that Shrek should come together and leave together. You're asking us to abandon you and go first? We really can't do that!" Tang San said.
"Nonsense, how can these situations be the same? Besides, I'm not staying to die, I'm just stalling it. Once you leave, I'll naturally find a way to escape!" Qi Ling advised.
However, no one believed Qi Ling's explanation. After all, given their current condition, it would probably take them a whole day to leave Sunset Forest. How could Qi Ling possibly hold out for so long?
"If you want to stay, then I want to stay too! Brother Qi, if you die, I won't live either!" Xiao Wu excitedly ran over and hugged Qi Ling's waist.
"Me too! I'll stay!" Ning Rongrong stepped forward alongside Xiao Wu, her eyes already brimming with tears. "If I could die with you, I would be more than willing."
Then Qi Ling felt a warmth on her back. Zhu Zhuqing had appeared behind her without her noticing and whispered, "No matter where you go, I will follow you. Even if we go to hell, I will not let you go."
"Hahaha, you girls are all so brave, do you think we boys are any less brave!" Dai Mubai laughed loudly. " Qi Ling, let's stay together, no matter what happens, we'll face it together!"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar nodded hurriedly, and finally Tang San smiled and said, "Big brother, you are the soul of Shrek, our captain! If you're not here, what is Shrek?"
Seeing the friendship among them that transcended life and death, Zhao Wuji was moved to tears and said, "Good, you are all very good! Kids like you shouldn't die here. I, Old Zhao, will risk everything today. Let me stall for time, you guys go!"
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, all of whom had completely disregarded life and death, Qi Ling was deeply moved. However, he still smiled and said, "Why don't you guys believe what I say? With my speed, it can't catch me at all, how could it possibly kill me?"
Then, Qi Ling instantly activated " Lightning Flash and Flint Spark," increasing her speed to an incredible level. Tang San was so surprised that even his Purple Demon Eye couldn't capture Qi Ling's figure; he could only vaguely see a blurry afterimage.
"Well, now you believe me, right? If you stay, you'll only be a burden to me! Even if I can escape, I'll fail because of you!" Qi Ling said.
"But... but..." Xiao Wu wanted to say something, but Qi Ling interrupted her, then stroked her head and said, "There are no buts, Xiao Wu. I promise you, I will definitely come back safely, okay?"
"And to all of you, I promise you here and now that I will return safely! If you still believe in me, believe in your captain, then leave here immediately! Do you understand?" Qi Ling said to everyone.
Under Qi Ling's insistence, the group had no choice but to trust Qi Ling. After carrying the three unconscious Grandmaster on their backs, they rushed towards the outskirts of Sunset Forest.
After everyone left, Qi Ling did something astonishing—he took out the Beast-Attracting Powder from his person, opened it, and sprinkled it on himself!
The reason for doing this was naturally to cover Tang San and his group's retreat. Since there were eleven of them moving together, they would inevitably be a larger target than themselves. If they couldn't attract Tyrannical Savage's attention, then the idea of delaying them wouldn't hold water at all.
At this point, Tyrannical Savage's injuries had almost completely healed. Although he was still weak, it no longer affected his mobility. Moreover, for Ferocious Beast like him, even in a weakened state, he was still much stronger than a human.
It could sense that Tang San and the others had left, leaving only the boy who had opposed it earlier. Just as it was hesitating whether to chase after the group or deal with Qi Ling first, it smelled an irresistible fragrance emanating from Qi Ling.
The fragrance was so strong that even many of the Soul Beast that hadn't yet escaped began to stir. If it weren't for Tyrannical Savage's presence, they would have all pounced on Qi Ling together.
However, with Tyrannical Savage here, no Soul Beast would be foolish enough to jump out and become its snack. After all, between appetite and life, the latter is more important.
Tyrannical Savage scrutinized Qi Ling before him. Although his mouth was already watering uncontrollably, Qi Ling's powerful performance just now made him more cautious. He paced around, trying to find Qi Ling's weakness.
Qi Ling looked at the Tyrannical Savage before her and laughed easily, "Brother, now it's just the two of us left. I bet you're itching to eat me up, right? But unfortunately for you, you're the one who's going to die here today!"
"I am enough to deal with you on my own!"
