"Quick, quickly conjure a Psionic Barrier!" Dan Liang immediately roared.
Everyone immediately reacted. After the meteor landed, it would produce a huge explosion. They had to first use their Psionic Barrier to withstand the explosion.
Subconsciously, everyone conjured their Psionic Barrier. The convicts, who were on the brink of depleting their Psionic Power during the journey, did not dare to hold back. They immediately used up all their remaining Psionic Power.
"Boom!"
The burning meteor struck the ground and landed a few hundred meters behind the crowd. A deafening explosion mixed with the windstorm swept over. Countless gravel and bricks were swept at the crowd like sharp blades.
A gigantic green shield suddenly appeared in front of the crowd, blocking all the gravel.
Everyone was taken aback. The shield was conjured by Dan Liang. He got the others to conjure a Psionic Barrier, but he conjured a Psionic Barrier himself. A shield was naturally stronger than a barrier, but a shield could only defend one direction and not the entire body.
Dan Liang's shield protected everyone from the gravel turbulence, but he was exposed to the explosive windstorm. His clothes billowed up high and he was nearly blown backwards. However, his feet were rooted to the ground. His eyes were wide open and his face was flushed red.
The trembling convicts who were conjuring their Psionic Barrier looked at Dan Liang's back. Other than fear, there was no other expression on their faces.
The explosive windstorm was short lived, but the disaster had just begun.
Amidst the flying dust, a massive and terrifying figure gradually revealed its appearance. It was prostrating in a gigantic crater. It had a ferocious tiger's head and a gigantic snake's body that spanned more than a kilometer. Its dense snake scales shimmered with silver light and looked extremely hard. The monster suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening roar.
"Roar!"
The moment the tiger-headed, snake-bodied monster roared, it had already wriggled its body out of the crater. The snake's body was tens of meters in diameter. As it wriggled on the ground, it produced a grinding sound that seemed like it was tearing the ground apart. Gravel and dust were constantly sent flying. It was hair-raising and alarming.
"B Class astral beast, Silver Scaled Tiger-Head Snake."
Dan Liang instantly determined the identity of the monster and knew that they did not have the ability to fight against it. Just as he was about to shout for everyone to escape, he saw that everyone was already running away in a sorry state.
In order to survive the explosion, the criminals had expended all their psionic power. At this moment, they were running extremely slowly, like a tortoise crawling. As for Ding Yi and Hongmei, who were running right in front, they were faster than rabbits. Instantly, they opened up a distance.
"No, they can't escape."
Whether or not they could survive the meteor crash, in addition to surviving the initial explosion, the most important thing was to escape the aggro range of the star beast. Although Ding Yi and Xiao Luo were not slow, they still could not escape, let alone the criminals.
Dan Liang immediately conjured his psionic power and quickly ran towards the two people running in front of him. He was the strongest person among them and he was much stronger. Therefore, he quickly overtook the criminals and was closing in on Ding Yi and company.
"Help, help us!"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't leave us behind? Liar, you hateful liar! "
"Aren't you a hero? Fight the monsters! "
"Please, don't abandon us! No, you devil in the guise of kindness, come back quickly! "
“.....”
The criminals were either crying or cursing as they watched Dan Liang's departing back. They were panting as they ran with their exhausted bodies. They could feel the mocking and cruel gaze of the monster behind them. Their eyes were filled with despair and they were on the brink of a mental breakdown.
When Dan Liang heard these words, his expression turned even gloomier. However, his eyes remained extremely bright. He quickly chased up to Ding Yi and company and shouted, "Save those criminals!"
"Are you mad? How do we save them? "
Hongmei's heavily made-up face was already extremely pale. Her trembling lips indicated her fear as she screamed in response to Dan Liang's' joke '.
"Brother Dan, wake up! The three of us can't even protect ourselves, so how can we save them? Let them be bait and hold back the star beast for a while. Only then can we escape! "
Ding Yi's eyes suffused a cold beam as he said mercilessly.
"I'll hold back the star beast!"
Dan Liang loudly stated his intentions. "My superpower can hold back the Silver Scaled Tigerhead Snake for a period of time. All of you can take this period of time to escape. Those criminals will not be able to determine the correct direction to escape in, so I need you to guide them! "
"Ding Yi, Hongmei! I'll save everyone. All of you, save them! "
The howling wind as they ran was unable to disperse the heat in his words. Ding Yi and Hongmei looked into Dan Liang's eyes and were stunned. They could not understand why Dan Liang, who had the best chance of escaping, would make such a foolish choice!
"We are heroes. Isn't it our duty to save those who are in trouble?"
Dan Liang smiled faintly. He looked very silly and naive.
"Save them, please!"
Without any time to sincerely persuade the duo, Dan Liang stopped and gave them a deep bow. Then, he turned around and headed towards the criminals and the monster that was chasing after him with its snake body.
Dan Liang ran with determination and courage in his eyes.
Ding Yi and Hongmei looked back at Dan Liang, who was gradually disappearing into the darkness. Their expressions turned slightly stiff, but they did not slow down. They continued running.
"Hey, do you know how to save them?" Hongmei turned her head and smiled at Ding Yi.
They were referring to the criminals, and the so-called 'save' was just a simple act of leadership.
"What about you?" Ding Yi similarly turned his head and smiled at Hongmei.
"Of course … not." Hongmei stuck out her tongue.
"I can't wait for them to die cleanly." Ding Yi shrugged his shoulders.
The duo turned their heads to look ahead as a sneer suffused across their lips. They sped up and at the fork in front of them, they suddenly split up and ran in different directions, disappearing into the darkness.
.....
After the Silver Scaled Tigerhead Snake landed on the ground, it spent more than ten seconds to adjust its condition. This was the necessary adaptation period for astral beasts that descended on Earth. It was also the only chance for humans to escape. However, the stronger the astral beast, the shorter the adjustment period. A B Class astral beast only needed about ten seconds.
The criminals, who were nearly drained of Psionic Power, obviously could not escape the Silver Scaled Tigerhead Snake's aggro range in such a short period of time. They were already filled with despair deep in their hearts. However, humans were such lamentable creatures. The more despair they felt, the more they struggled. And these criminals were even more so. Their desire to live had reached its peak.
Even though their lungs were about to burn and their legs were cramping, they still ran frantically. Some of the criminals even chased up to the people in front of them and pulled them to the ground. From their point of view, every additional corpse behind them would buy them more time to escape.
Escaping and pulling at each other, they were being chased by death, and at the same time, they were competing with other life forms.
The hideous ugliness was vividly portrayed by these criminals at this moment in time.
The Silver Scaled Tigerhead Snake's speed was extremely fast. The snake's body twisted on the ground and in an instant, it arrived behind the criminal at the back. The tiger head was prostrated on the ground as it opened and closed its mouth that was filled with sharp teeth. The criminal and his screams were completely devoured by the tiger head.
The Silver Scaled Tigerhead Snake did not stop as it continued its hunt. The puny humans were obviously not food in its eyes, but irritating "ants". It was in its nature to clean up all the "ants".
Fear, despair and a crazy desire to live intertwined in the criminals' hearts. They hated the prison guards that had abandoned them. They hated Ding Yi and Hongmei, but what they hated the most was the self-proclaimed hero, Dan Liang, who had abandoned them.
The hatred gave them the strength to clench their teeth and persist.
"Quickly escape! I'll hold it back! "
Suddenly, an anxious voice came from the front. A figure passed everyone at an extremely fast speed, charging straight at the Silver Scaled Tigerhead Snake that was charging at them aggressively.
The person who came was the hero, Dan Liang!
The criminals were stunned, but they immediately squeezed out more strength to run forward. The fool that called himself a hero had come to save them, which also meant that they had a chance of surviving.
As long as they could survive, everything was fine.
As for whether Dan Liang would be in danger by holding back the Silver Scaled Tigerhead Snake, heh heh, was it important?
This time, the criminals did not waste their strength to pull back the person in front of them. This was because they already had the most powerful bait to help them stall for time. So what they needed to do now was to escape. They needed to use all their strength to survive.
At that moment, not a single criminal turned to look at the hero's back. They looked at Dan Liang, who was more kind than kind.
