Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Novel

695 Lost~

Whoosh~!

Using his movement technique to its limits, Bai Ning dashed through the dense jungle together with Hui Ying who was dragged along with him during the fast escape-

Roar!

Roar!

Behind them, the roars of the two demon beasts echoed out as they got closer and closer with each passing second.

"H-how can we escape from them!? They are far stronger than us and will catch up to us soon!" Looking back towards the approaching demon beasts that were getting closer and closer to them, Hui Ying, who was carried by Bai Ning due to him being far faster than her in terms of speed, could not help exclaiming in a worried tone.

Even if the demon beasts were slowed down due to the dense jungle foliage and trees blocking their path, it did not take a genius to figure out that the demon beasts would soon be able to catch up to them. After all, they were Core Formation Realm demon beast!

"…"

Understanding that they would indeed get caught by the two demon beasts if they could not find a way to lose the two demon beasts any time soon, Bai Ning remained quiet after hearing what Hui Ying said. Focusing his attention on trying to think of a way to escape from the two demon beasts in the Core Formation Realm chasing after them.

"Ah! Bai Ning! Over there!"

Just at this moment, Hui Ying called out in an excited tone as she pointed towards somewhere in the distance.

"Hm?"

Wondering what had suddenly gotten her so excited in their current bad situation, Bai Ning quickly turned towards the place where she was pointing.

"This is… More demon beasts!?"

Indeed, the place Hui Ying was pointing, a large group of demon beasts ranging from somewhere in the earlier stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Core Formation Realm could be seen lazing around a small lake in the middle of an opening in the jungle. Counting them, there were at least fifty demon beasts!

Whoosh~!

Knowing why Hui Ying had become so excited after seeing the group of demon beasts, Bai Ning was similarly excited as he turned towards the group of demon beasts before using all his strength to rush towards them.

The large group of demon beasts could serve as a great distraction for them and help them escape from the two powerful demon beasts chasing after them… But at the same time, it would also be dangerous for them as the large group of demon beasts consisted of at least four Core Formation Realm demon beast that could kill them just as easily as the demon beasts chasing after them!

"Let's hope those Core Formation demon beasts in front of us focus on the two Core Formation Realm demon beasts chasing after us…" Muttering this to himself as he kept his attention focused on the four especially powerful demon beast from the group of demon beasts in front of him, Bai Ning could not stop himself from getting nervous.

The plan of using the group of demon beasts in front of them as a distraction was not without any risks!

If the four Core Formation Realm demon beasts decided to attack them instead of dealing with the two demon beasts chasing after them, they would properly not be able to escape…

Roar? ROOAR!

As they approached the opening in the jungle, one of the Core Formation Realm demon beasts lazing around the small lake noticed them before alerting the rest of the demon beasts lazing around.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

Not a second later, countless roars could be heard as the close to fifty demon beasts relaxing around the small lake jumped up and roared threatening towards Bai Ning and Hui Ying approaching them.

Looks like they are not as aggressive as the other two demon beast, we should be fine as long as we don't get too close to them…

Letting out a sigh of relief after seeing that the demon beasts only roared threatening at them without getting up to chase after them, Bai Ning dashed forward before going around the opening in the jungle without getting too close to group of demon beasts roaring threateningly at them from the side.

Whoosh~!

Not long after Bai Ning and Hui Ying made it to the other side of the opening of the jungle by going around the group of demon beasts, the two demon beasts chasing after them showed up.

ROAAAR!

Not showing the slightest bit of care towards the group of demon beasts, the two powerful Core Formation Realm demon beasts entered the opening and were about to make their way straight through it to where Hui Ying and Bai Ning were located-

ROOOOOOAR!

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

However, entering the opening in the jungle was seen as a blatant provocation and threat by the group of demon beasts located around the small lake, as the Core Formation Realm demon beasts among them charged forward to protect the weaker once from what they viewed as a very clear attack.

Swish-!

Bang!

ROOOOOAR!

Not a second later, the two demon beasts that had been chasing after Bai Ning and Hui Ying began clashing with the group of demon beasts in the opening of the jungle.

"Let's get away before the fighting here ends…"

Knowing that the fight was not going to last for long, Bai Ning put Hui Ying down before both of them quickly escaped in the opposite direction of the fighting.

Going around and making their way back towards the place where they had entered the jungle through was far too risky, as the two demon beasts chasing after them would be able to easily spot them and attack them.

Although escaping into the deeper part of the jungle was risky, it was a far better choice compared to having to face off against to powerful Core Formation Realm demon beasts!

…

"Hah… We should have… Hah… Escaped from them by now…"

Collapsing down on the soft grass that covered the ground beneath them, Bai Ning collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

"Indeed…" In a similarly exhausted state from having used her movement technique for an extended period of time, Hui Ying also laid down on the soft grass beside Bai Ning.

During the past half hour after the group of demon beasts beside the small lake started fighting with the two demon beats that had been chasing after them, both Bai Ning and Hui Ying had not dared slowing down as they used their movement techniques to escape as far away as possible before the fighting between the demon beasts stopped.

Rustle~

Resting on the ground as they recovered from their exhausted states, Hui Ying suddenly thought of something as she turned towards Bai Ning with a somewhat nervous expression on her face.

"By the way… How are we supposed to find our way back out of the jungle again…?"

During their escape, they had ventured deep into the jungle and had turned in all sorts of different directions to avoid the demon beasts chasing them. Now that they needed to find their way back out again… It would indeed be rather difficult…

"That is… A good question… I will try and use the communication talisman and see if we can contact any of the elders."

Knowing that they were not likely to find their way out on their own without bumping into another Core Formation Realm demon beast, Bai Ning took out a communication talisman from his interspatial ring that the elders of the sect had given to them in case they ended up in a situation they couldn't handle.

Bzzz~

"Indeed… It's of no use… Looks like we are indeed inside a secret realm…"

Not having expected for the communication talisman to work in the first place as he remembered how his master had told him that such things did not work inside a secret realm, Bai Ning let out a sigh as he put the useless communication talisman back inside his interspatial ring.

"Let's try the one master gave me…"

Not having too much hope that the communication talisman his master gave him would be any different, Bai Ning took out a far more high-quality communication talisman that his master had given him.

Bzzz~

"Also useless…" Muttering this to himself as he also watched the high-quality communication talisman given by his master not working, Bai Ning could not help feeling a wave of helplessness wash over him.

Given their current circumstances, they did not have a high chance of making it out alive by themselves and at the same time, they could not rely on someone coming to help them out.

"Bai Ning…"

"It's fine, we will just have to find a way back on our own and avoid the stronger demon beasts along the way. Maybe we can even find the sacred spiritual herb you are looking for along the way!" Seeing Hui Ying nervously looking towards him after the two communication talismans failed, Bai Ning quickly cheered her up.

Even if their current situation was bad, it was not totally helpless!
