This explanation seemed to make things worse by trying to cover things up, causing others to suspect that the three of them had ulterior motives.
"Hand it over!" Miao Yi shouted again, charging towards the three with the butcher's knife in hand.
He had only slaughtered pigs before, and had never killed a human before. But today, he had to kill these three.
Because Huang Cheng had reminded him that once he let the three of them go, if he didn't make it back this time, his younger siblings would be in danger. These three bastards dared to kill now, what else wouldn't they dare to do? Today, he had to get rid of these three future threats.
The three panicked, and turned to run. Who knew that others would immediately run out to join in the fun, blocking their path.
This time, not only was Miao Yi chasing with his knife, there were also seven or eight people chasing after them.
Unable to escape the way they came, the three of them immediately charged out, shouting 'we don't have the immortal herb' as they fled in panic.
Miao Yi's expression was cold, and he chased after them with his knife. The group followed suit.
Not long after, the group of people had already rushed out of the safe route without realizing it.
Before coming here, everyone had received a free map from the ancient city outside. The safe route was marked on the map, and it was the result of taking human lives during the previous openings of the Boundless Secular World.
In the end, Huang Cheng and the other two were blocked by seven or eight strong young men.
"What are you trying to do?" Huang Cheng was so frightened that he couldn't speak coherently. He raised his knife and slashed wildly, not letting the other party get close.
The muscular man with a curly beard was obviously trained. He approached Huang Cheng in a flash, dodging the slash of the large knife. He grabbed Huang Cheng's wrist and twisted it on the spot. Huang Cheng cried out in pain, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
The Zhao brothers were also extremely nervous, holding their daggers and threatening the others to stay away. Usually, they could bully people of the same age as Miao Yi, or even younger, but when facing these strong young men, they felt like they were facing an adult, and subconsciously felt a little timid.
The muscular man with a curly beard didn't care how Huang Cheng explained, and had already started searching Huang Cheng's body, but there was no immortal herb.
He cast a glance at the Zhao Brothers, then turned to look at Miao Yi, who was charging towards him. He pushed Huang Cheng away and was about to look for the Zhao Brothers when Miao Yi suddenly charged over and swung his Pig Slaughtering Knife, stabbing it into Huang Cheng's chest as he stumbled over.
Huang Cheng's eyes widened as he stared at Miao Yi in disbelief. The burly man with the curly beard was also shocked. Not only the Zhao brothers, but the others were also shocked.
Pu, pu! Hardening his heart, Miao Yi pulled out his saber and stabbed Huang Cheng with a ferocious look on his face. He then stabbed Huang Cheng's body twice, before raising his hand and chopping down on Huang Cheng's neck.
Fresh blood splattered all over Miao Yi. Huang Cheng clutched his neck with both hands as he fell to the ground, twitching. There was an unconcealable fear in his eyes.
Miao Yi didn't care at all. He grimaced in pain. His heart was filled with fear, but he still raised his blood-stained saber and charged towards the Zhao brothers.
The two brothers were scared out of their wits. They immediately threw caution to the wind and brandished their long sabers to break out of the encirclement.
Charging forward, Miao Yi took advantage of the moment Zhao Xingkui wasn't prepared to stab him in the back. He then pulled out his saber and stabbed him a few more times, leaving Zhao Xingkui lying in a pool of his own blood.
Such a ferocious look stunned everyone else. They didn't expect this young man to be so ruthless.
While everyone was distracted, Zhao Xingwu, who was madly brandishing his long saber, managed to escape.
The group watched helplessly as Miao Yi once again raised his saber and chased after Zhao Xingwu.
"Brat, you're ruthless enough. You're so young, yet you're already killing without batting an eyelid!" The muscular man with the curly beard chuckled. The group of people quickly chased after him.
Zhao Xingwu turned his head back to take a look in fear. He realized that Miao Yi, who was covered in blood, was chasing after him like a fiend. He was so frightened that he screamed and ran for his life.
He didn't know if it was because his screams had alerted something, or if it was because he had entered a dangerous area, but something seemed to be flying towards him with a whoosh in the air.
'Swoosh!' A huge black shadow descended from the sky, landing in the middle of the group of people who were chasing after him.
It didn't make much noise when it landed. Miao Yi, who was running, almost collided with it. He tripped and fell to the ground, tumbling a few times.
The seven or eight people who were chasing after him immediately stopped in their tracks. They slowly raised their heads in fear. Miao Yi didn't know what they saw, but he slowly retreated together.
Miao Yi got up and was also shocked when he raised his head. 'A mantis?'
After a closer inspection, he confirmed that he wasn't mistaken. It was indeed a mantis, a mantis that was ridiculously large.
Its body was more than two zhang long, and its entire body was black and shiny. Its four legs were covered with sharp barbs, and it raised its scythe-like forelimbs, as though it was a grim reaper wielding a scythe. It emitted a cold and frightening aura, and was constantly twisting its huge head. Its dark green eyes flickered, as though it was observing its prey.
This creature was the monster described on the map. The map called it the Hell Mantis. He never expected to actually see the real thing.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Miao Yi's forehead. Both his legs felt a little weak. He was standing on the right side of the Hell Mantis, and didn't dare to move an inch.
The muscular man with the curly beard and the others were also breaking out in cold sweat. They were facing the Hell Mantis, so they didn't dare to make too big of a movement, and continued to slowly retreat.
The Hell Mantis's two scythes suddenly swished twice like a ghost, shooting out and then retracting.
No one could see its movements clearly, but the muscular man with the curly beard had already lost two men. In the blink of an eye, they were hooked onto the Hell Mantis's scythes, their chests pierced through. Hanging from the scythes, they screamed in pain, fresh blood dripping down from their bodies.
"It's death on either side …" The muscular man with the curly beard reminded the others, and suddenly shouted, "Everyone, run in different directions!"
The terrified five or six people immediately turned their heads and ran in all directions.
The muscular man with the curly beard, who had agreed to split up and run together, didn't run himself.
The Hell Mantis raised its scythe and chewed on a head. Its green eyes flashed, and it suddenly flapped its wings, stirring up a gust of wind. It floated up amidst the flying sand and pebbles. While chewing on its' food ', it chased after the few people who were running away.
Miao Yi slowly turned his head to look, and could faintly see that the Hell Mantis seemed to be playing a game of cat and mouse. It circled around the escaping people, flying here and there, while eating the food on its scythes. It gave off the impression that it was eating from a bowl while looking at the pot, as if it was preparing to finish eating before taking out the food. Mournful screams constantly came from afar.
Miao Yi waited until the scene of the cat and mouse disappeared from his sight, then he gently let out a breath. He reckoned that if it wasn't for the few people running away and attracting the monster's attention, he would have been doomed today.
"I barely escaped with my life." The muscular man with the curly beard patted his chest and heaved a heavy sigh of relief. Seeing that Miao Yi hadn't moved, he was a little surprised. He realized that this brat was pretty smart, and had actually seen through his scheme.
Little did he know that Miao Yi was so scared that his legs had gone soft, and he couldn't run.
"Brat, we've run out of the safe zone. This place isn't safe to stay for long, let's go!"
The muscular man with the curly beard kindly reminded him, then turned around and ran.
Seeing the other party disappear into the dense fog, Miao Yi calmed himself down from the fright, and then turned around to look for Zhao Xingwu. In the end, he realized that he had been interrupted by the Hell Mantis, and Zhao Xingwu had long since disappeared. Everywhere was covered in fog, and it was impossible to find him even if he wanted to.
He felt a little admiration for Zhao Xingwu. He himself was so scared by the Hell Mantis that he didn't dare to move, and yet that guy still dared to run away.
