Su Zimo fell to the ground, feeling as though his tendons and bones were about to break. Enduring the pain, he carefully retrieved Night Spirit from his robes and hugged it to his chest.
He was worried about Night Spirit.
Even though Yu Fei's throat was crushed and he lost a large amount of blood qi, he was a Jin Dan realm spirit demon after all. His final counterattack was extremely terrifying!
Even if Su Zimo was in Night Spirit's shoes, he could not guarantee that he would survive.
However, when Su Zimo took out Night Spirit, he was stunned.
In Dongling Valley, Su Zimo witnessed with his own eyes that Night Spirit was struck in the waist by Yu Fei. Its body was contorted and it coughed out blood – it was clear that its organs were severely injured and its fate was unknown.
But now, Night Spirit's body had returned to normal.
Night Spirit curled up in front of Su Zimo's chest. It was no longer bleeding from its mouth and its breathing was slow and steady.
Sensing Su Zimo's gaze, Night Spirit suddenly raised its head and blinked its beady eyes. They were pitch-black and resembled gemstones as it looked at Su Zimo spiritually.
The man and beast looked at each other.
"Haha!"
When he saw that Night Spirit was fine, Su Zimo was delighted and could not help but laugh.
"Heeya!"
As though it could sense the joy in Su Zimo's heart, Night Spirit opened its mouth slightly and called out in response.
Su Zimo carried Night Spirit and checked it carefully.
To his surprise, Su Zimo discovered that Night Spirit's self-healing abilities were extremely strong!
Although it had yet to recover, the wounds in its organs were already healing and its broken bones were reconnecting.
Ever since it escaped from Dongling Valley, Night Spirit had not consumed any elixirs and was relying solely on its own body to recover and adjust.
It had been less than a month since Night Spirit was born …
Of course, the greater the potential of Night Spirit, the harsher the conditions for growth!
If they were Direbeast cubs, their parents would also be powerful pure-blooded Direbeasts. They would be able to prepare sufficient food and resources for their cubs.
And now, Su Zimo was only a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator. There wasn't much he could provide for the Night Spirit.
Su Zimo took out Yu Fei's inner core from his storage bag and placed it under the Night Spirit's nose, wanting to feed it.
Just Now, if it weren't for the Night Spirit's attack, he would've been reduced to a blood slave of the blood-robed young man.
Therefore, Su Zimo did not hesitate or feel any heartache when he fed the Night Spirit the Monster Core.
Night Spirit's nose twitched, and he sneezed. He turned his head away and pursed his lips. His eyes were filled with disdain …
"Uh …"
Seeing this scene, Su Zimo was a little speechless.
That Monster Core could be considered as his most precious item from head to toe.
To think that the other party wouldn't even fancy it!
"You must be crazy to not want to eat something so good."
After escaping death and seeing that Night Spirit had survived, Su Zimo was in a great mood. He could not help but curse jokingly and put away the demon beast's inner core, preparing to consume it later on.
"I'll put you down first. I'll go out and set up some formations. Let's hide here for a couple of days."
Su Zimo said to Night Spirit.
Unexpectedly, Night Spirit arched its body and tried to burrow into Su Zimo's embrace, as though that was the most comfortable place.
Su Zimo could not tolerate it and stuffed it back into his embrace. He went to the entrance of the cave and started setting up formations.
After burning a third of his blood, Su Zimo was extremely weak.
However, he did not dare to rest.
He had to seize every second to set up a few formations so that Su Zimo could be at ease.
After drawing a few formation patterns, Su Zimo suddenly stopped and a strange feeling surfaced in his mind – it was as though he was being targeted!
There was no danger and there were no warning signs.
However, Su Zimo felt that something was amiss.
It was as though there was a pair of eyes watching him from a hidden corner!
Su Zimo continued drawing formation patterns without batting an eyelid. However, most of his attention and gaze were patrolling the surroundings constantly, trying to find the source of that ominous feeling.
After a while, Su Zimo found nothing.
"Am I hallucinating?"
Su Zimo's gaze flickered as he frowned in deep thought.
It would be fine if it was a hallucination. However, if it wasn't …
Right then, Su Zimo's chest moved and Night Spirit popped its head out.
"Heeya!"
Night Spirit called out.
Su Zimo was deep in thought and did not pay attention to Night Spirit's cries.
"Heeya! Heeya! "
After a while, when Su Zimo ignored it, Night Spirit called out again and stomped gently on Su Zimo's chest with its meaty paws. However, it did not extend its sharp claws.
"What's wrong?"
Su Zimo snapped out of his trance and lowered his head to ask.
Night Spirit raised its head and looked in the direction of the skies with a cold gaze. In its pitch-black eyes, an imperceptible dot was vaguely reflected.
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he raised his head.
Above the firmaments, there was a black dot hidden in the clouds that was faintly discernible.
At this distance, ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators would not be able to see what was circling in the skies with their eyesight.
However, Su Zimo's eyesight was extremely strong and he could already tell that the black dot was a blood-eyed crow!
Not only that, there were even more black dots gathering in this direction within the clouds.
With the blood-eyed crow as a guide, Perfected Jin Dan would find this place before long!
Suddenly, Su Zimo felt a chill run down his spine.
He did not manage to shake off his pursuers at all!
If he had not sensed that something was amiss and Night Spirit had not discovered the source, he might have been surrounded and killed here without even knowing how he died!
Run!
Su Zimo's first reaction was to continue running.
However, the world was huge – where could he run to?
There were way too many blood-eyed crows. Coupled with their fast speed and sharp sense of smell, Su Zimo would not be able to avoid the fate of being caught no matter where he fled to.
The blood-eyed crows were the other party's eyes and were everywhere.
This meant that Su Zimo was constantly under the other party's surveillance!
There was nowhere to run!
Furthermore, Su Zimo was in an extremely bad state right now. He had yet to recover from the blood he burned earlier on and was already exhausted.
What should he do?
Su Zimo closed his eyes and tried his best to compose himself as he tried to think of a way to break out of this situation.
He believed that there had to be a way to avoid the blood-eyed crows' surveillance!
A moment later, Su Zimo opened his eyes – he already had an idea.
Su Zimo withdrew the demon beast Inner Core from his storage bag and swallowed it.
Su Zimo was prepared to release Blood Escape once more!
Using Blood Escape twice in a row meant that two-thirds of his blood would be burned and there was a high chance that he would die.
However, Su Zimo had no other choice.
He could only consume the demon beast Inner Core in advance in case of any accidents.
Su Zimo was already at his weakest. If he did not release Blood Escape, he would not be able to escape far and would definitely be caught by Perfected Jin Dan.
Su Zimo withdrew the map from his storage bag and studied it carefully.
Before long, Su Zimo put away the map and channeled Blood Escape. Transforming into a streak of blood light, he changed his direction slightly and sprinted!
