"Withered, withered..."
The giant tree twisted its body, its branches crawling on the ground.
The Two-Horned Lizard ran forward with all its might.
"Damn it, I should have gone to meet up with Shen Heng and the others!" it cried out in its heart with some regret.
Regardless of whether one is human or Calamity Beast, survival is the most important thing.
Seeing that I often hang out with them, even if I'm not human, I should at least know them.
In this situation, even if I go out with them, I'm not necessarily in any danger.
At least, it's safer than being chased by those branches behind us now!
pity...
It's a bit too late to think about this now!
Thinking of this, the Two-Horned Lizard couldn't help but feel another surge of resentment.
He kept running forward, his breathing becoming heavier, but the sound of someone chasing him from behind was still getting closer and closer.
To be honest, this speed isn't as fast as last time when it was being chased, but it's still quite a distance from that portal!
Just as the Two-Horned Lizard was wondering if it could make it to the portal alive, a rumbling sound suddenly came from not far ahead.
The Two-Horned Lizard's attention was drawn to it.
It slightly adjusted its direction, so that it didn't run directly there, but also didn't run in a way that completely obscured its view.
Finally, after a while, the scene from the source of the sound came into its view.
Amidst the swirling branches, a massive figure could be seen, bearing numerous wounds as it struggled desperately. Many branches were damaged in its struggle, yet the branches as a whole continued to slowly but steadily converge inwards.
"Heh, I told you to run so fast, so you could draw my fire first, huh?!" The Two-Horned Lizard chuckled, its gaze still lingering on the massive bear-like figure.
That was the Steel-Mane Bear, one of the only two remaining Calamity Beast.
Although they ran separately, since they had the same destination and starting point, it was perfectly normal for them to meet later.
Then, the Third Tier...
Just as he was pondering this, the figure inadvertently swept across the area, and then...
"Lord Two-Horned Lizard, quick, help me! Save me!" the Steel-Mane Bear roared.
Bears have the physical strength and destructive power, but in this endless cycle of being targeted, they find it difficult to sustain their strength.
Fortunately...
Steel-Mane Bear stared at that spot, at the figure that appeared in the distance.
At this moment, a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes, which had been filled with despair.
If it were any other Calamity Beast, it would probably be beyond saving, but if it were the Two-Horned Lizard from my memories...
Suddenly, the Steel-Mane Bear froze, staring blankly at that spot.
In its field of vision, the figure looked at it indifferently, and then... without hesitation, turned its head and continued running forward.
They looked a bit tired when I first saw them, but at this moment, they seemed full of energy.
The hope that had been in its eyes quickly turned into despair and deep fear.
"No, no, no..."
"No, Lord Two-Horned Lizard, it's me! I'm Steel-Mane Bear! Please save me..."
"No, no, no..."
The voices of fear and despair echoed from afar, Two-Horned Lizard didn't even glance at them again, and quickly ran forward.
"Hmm, as expected, I'm not that Two-Horned Lizard. But did that guy really think he would save it if it were Two-Horned Lizard? Ha, only a fool would save it in that situation, right?" The Two-Horned Lizard sneered inwardly.
Then, the speed of his feet increased even more.
It needs to buy as much time as possible; otherwise, when the Steel-Mane Bear can't hold on any longer, a significant portion of the energy of the revived trees will likely be diverted to its side.
If that's the case, it won't be able to hold up!
Tree after tree passed by the Two-Horned Lizard, and the shouts behind it gradually faded away.
Finally, with only a few meters of the approaching branches remaining behind it, it leaped out of the jungle.
What came into view were corpses scattered all over the ground, and above all of them, a massive teleportation portal.
The Distortion portal rapidly enlarged in my pupils, and finally...
A feeling of dizziness washed over me, followed by a bizarre and surreal scene.
I don't know when it happened.
The Two-Horned Lizard's gaze finally focused.
What came into view was a flat passageway of unknown width, with a pure white wall thousands of meters high standing on either side.
Before it could even react, the lost memories came rushing back.
Grasslands, tribal lands, mines, conscription, war, involvement...
The Two-Horned Lizard felt a wave of confusion wash over it, and it took a while for it to calm down.
It shook its head slowly, then suddenly paused, looking sharply behind it.
A Thunder-Scale Beast, which had been cautiously approaching, stood awkwardly in place. "Uh, Lord Two-Horned Lizard, are you alright?"
Memories were being recalled in my mind.
" Black Jade Lion?" the Two-Horned Lizard asked, somewhat uncertainly.
"Yes, it's me!" The Thunder-Scale Beast's expression brightened with excitement. "I knew it! Following Lord Two-Horned Lizard would definitely be fine. We really made it out!"
The Two-Horned Lizard shook its head dismissively, trying to ease the lingering discomfort in its head. "Have you been out for a long time?"
"Not long, maybe just ten minutes earlier than you," said the Thunder-Scale Beast.
"Did you see... the other guys?" the Two-Horned Lizard asked, pausing for a moment.
"You mean that Steel-Mane Bear guy?!" Thunder-Scale Beast asked.
"Well, I guess so."
"No, I've been waiting here ever since I came out, but I haven't seen that guy!" said the Thunder-Scale Beast.
As it spoke, it glanced to the side with some confusion, "Strange, logically speaking, that guy's rank inside is higher than yours, so he should have come out earlier than you!"
With no response, the Two-Horned Lizard finally had the energy to carefully examine its surroundings.
A spacious corridor, a white dome, and nothing else.
Did those humans not come out? Or did they say they did and then leave?!
The Two-Horned Lizard surveyed its surroundings with a scrutinizing gaze.
As for the Steel-Mane Bear that Thunder-Scale Beast just mentioned, it didn't care.
No, it's not that I don't care at all...
With a furrowed brow, the Two-Horned Lizard turned its head to look at the Thunder-Scale Beast standing beside it, then looked past it at the spacious and tall passageway.
At that moment, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly involuntarily.
Damn it, is the Sacred Temple that dangerous? So many things went in, and in the end, only two of them, including this one, came out?
It was only with the help of those humans that it was able to get out!
Without them, wouldn't we have been completely trapped?
Thinking about what happened in that world, the Two-Horned Lizard's body involuntarily shrank slightly.
If it's just that one thing, it will probably only riot, and then, after failing, try to risk climbing out.
But then I think about the daytime patrols, and the trees coming to life at night...
If things continue like this, its only option will probably be death!
That godforsaken place is really a place for anyone who wants to go.
"Lord Two-Horned Lizard, shall we continue waiting for the Steel-Mane Bear here?" a low voice asked from the side.
The Two-Horned Lizard paused, its gaze fixed cautiously on the Thunder-Scale Beast that was watching it.
Anyway, let's get to the side first...
