Chapter 158 The Ridge Road in the Dark
Shu He had no time to wait for their warning. He had already noticed the giant gorilla's death stare and turned and ran away, leaving a message for Baili Moqing and the others.
"follow me!"
Seeing this, the four of them hurriedly chased after him.
Shu He's Qinggong speed was no match for the giant gorilla's footsteps, and it looked like Shu He was about to be caught up by the giant gorilla.
Baili Moqing said to Beiji and Zhenli behind him, "Go and lure away that giant beast!"
Beiji and Zhenli received the message immediately. They both accelerated with all their strength and cooperated with each other. Zhenli was thrown by Beiji onto the body of the giant beast. The cold sword pierced through its waist, causing the giant beast to roar in pain.
The attack hit the target and Zhenli quickly flew in the opposite direction.
If the beast had been dealt such a blow before, it would have chased the person who injured it and launched a fierce counterattack. However, this time, it did not chase Zhen Li as everyone expected. Instead, it went straight to Shu He, as if it would not give up until his death.
Baili Moqing and Beiji's expressions changed drastically. They moved forward at full speed and attacked the giant beast again.
But even though the beast was in excruciating pain, it refused to lose focus. Besides waving its hands, trying to smash those annoying humans, it kept its eyes fixed on Shu He, afraid that it would miss him accidentally.
Su Lanzhi also came with a knife, harassing the giant beast from time to time, slowing it down so that the woman could have more time to run faster.
"Why are you staring at me?" Shu He looked back several times and saw that the giant beast was chasing him. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"The people who beat you are behind you, go find them!"
She wanted to cry but had no tears. She hid in the dense forest, hoping to use the grass and leaves to hide her tracks. But the beast was not affected at all. It was as if it had a tracking device on her body. No matter where she hid, the big hands would chase her closely.
Once again, she took advantage of the giant beast being entangled by Baili Moqing and quickly hid in a huge tree hole, wanting to take a break.
But before she could catch her breath, a big hand attacked again and smashed the tree where she was hiding. She jumped out quickly, and the flying wood chips filled her hair.
"Puff puff!!"
Shu He's mouth was full of sawdust and dust, which kept drilling into his lungs! It was really killing him!
"Go quickly!!"
Baili Moqing landed on the giant beast's shoulder again and shouted to Shu He. Immediately, the silver sword flashed across the giant beast's face.
In an instant, bright red blood flowed from its face and hit the broken tree root on the ground, almost splashing Shu He all over.
She looked at Baili Moqing worriedly, and sure enough, she saw the beast suddenly swung its body, throwing Baili Moqing away. It roared behind it, venting its anger. Just when everyone thought it would attack Baili Moqing, the beast turned around and ran after Shu He!
Baili Moqing, Beiji and Su Lanzhi all looked extremely ugly.
What is going on with this thing?
Shu He also saw this scene, "What the hell!"
She cursed inwardly and ran away again.
What's going on? Why is he chasing her so closely? Did she dig up his family's grave? Where does such a deep hatred and resentment come from?
The five people and one beast almost pushed themselves sideways out of the deep valley. With the help of a few people behind them, Shu He finally arrived at the cliff valley of Baishou Mountain.
She immediately found the mark she had left behind.
She stopped abruptly in front of the cliff, turned around and looked at the huge gorilla in the air, her hands sweating with nervousness.
Behind the beast were Baili Moqing, Su Lanzhi, Zhenli, and Beiji. They tiptoed to the top of the tree, looking solemn and anxious as they flew towards them.
When the giant beast saw her stop, its ferocious gaze suddenly paused and it stopped as well.
It looked at her, and its gaze became a little warm, as if it was trying to please her.
Shu He was a little dazed. Was she dazzled? Why did she have such a strange feeling?
At this time, Baili Moqing and others also discovered the abnormality of the giant beast. They did not choose to attack it, but all fell beside Shu He and stood with her.
Seeing that she had no injuries, Baili Moqing's expression relaxed a little.
When the giant beast saw the people attacking it, its eyes, which had originally seemed somewhat gentle, instantly turned fierce and disgusted.
It groaned, and the air from its nose bent the big tree in front of it.
Su Lanzhi was about to step forward and attack, but Shu He quickly pulled her back, "Don't move, don't move!"
"What?" Su Lanzhi looked at her in confusion.
Shu He looked behind him and said to the people beside him, "Just follow me for a while. Don't be afraid. Trust me!"
Before they could fully understand what she said, they saw her turn around and jump directly towards the cliff.
"He Shu!" Baili Moqing turned around and was about to pull her, but was stopped by Zhenli next to him.
"Hey, are you crazy?" Su Lanzhi also reached out to grab it, but caught nothing.
Beiji, upon seeing this, jumped down after her.
Zhenli looked at Beiji who disappeared into the darkness and exclaimed, "Beiji!"
Seeing Shu He disappear, the giant gorilla became violent again, waving its hands continuously, as if trying to find the disappeared figure.
The ridge beneath her feet was very narrow, only wide enough for one person to stand. When Shu He jumped down, she didn't find the right position and missed the jump. Fortunately, her dagger was inserted into the ridge in time, and then her other hand was grabbed by someone and pulled up.
Shu He stood still, his heart trembling. "Oh my god! This is too narrow!"
This ridge is less than 50 centimeters wide, with no guardrails on either side, only an empty abyss. Someone with an unstable center of gravity could even be blown over by the wind from the cliff if they're not careful!
She subconsciously held on tightly to the person next to her, and her legs felt a little weak.
"Beiji!!" Shu He was a little surprised and delighted when he saw that familiar and gentle face. "Luckily you followed me down, otherwise, I would have fallen!"
I looked behind them and there was no one there.
Unexpectedly, the first person to jump down with her was Bei Ji. She thought it would be Baili Moqing...
"Are you okay?" Beiji felt very complicated, some relief, some joy, but more of guilt.
"I'm fine." Suppressing the small disappointment in her heart, she smiled at him, "By the way, how is Nanqi's injury? What did the doctor say?"
Although Baili Moqing had told Shu He about Nanqi's injury, he only knew a rough outline. Perhaps Beiji would know more.
"He's fine. Doctor Xu said he can be saved, but he's still in a coma and we don't know when he'll wake up."
"It's good that his life can be saved. I have collected a lot of rare medicines. When we go back, I will definitely be able to cure him!" Shu He said confidently.
Beiji nodded, and then a look of apology appeared on his face, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shu He interrupted him. He knew what he meant, but now was not the time to elaborate. "Let's not talk about this for now. We need to get Baili Moqing and the others down here!"
The roar from the top of the cliff was still roaring, and Shu He could clearly hear the violence in the voice.
"Baili Moqing! Su Lanzhi! Zhenli! Come down quickly!!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Baili Moqing, Su Lanzhi and Zhenli flew down one after another.
The three of them were all masters, obviously much stronger than her. They stood steadily on the ridge, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
"There's actually a path hidden under this abyss!"
"Stop talking nonsense and go!" Shu He retorted to Su Lanzhi. She told him not to believe her!
The giant gorilla on the top of the cliff was still roaring violently. It exerted force with its feet, and the ground shook instantly.
Shu He lost her balance and almost fell, but luckily Bei Ji was holding her arm to steady her.
She was still frightened and turned around, but before she could say thank you, she saw that the giant beast had followed.
The huge body fell heavily on the ridge. The strong vibration and the strong wind that swept over blew away all the people who were moving forward carefully on the ridge.
