Chapter 1821: The Meeting Place

"Boom—boom—boom!"

Three loud pounding sounds suddenly echoed through Wild Boar Forest; the Great Rock Demons instantly reacted and sprinted toward the source of the noise.

Though they stood over three meters tall, like small mountains, they moved with surprising agility and could pinpoint sounds by ear.

Luo Fu was waiting for this group of Great Rock Demons to rush over—even if they truly crushed him beneath them, he had a way to escape.

Unfortunately, this group of Great Rock Demons would get no chance.

The place Luo Fu had just left was nearly a kilometer away, giving Gong Sun Huohuo plenty of time.

The instant Luo Fu moved, Gong Sun Huohuo acted too, swiftly approaching—because only two Great Rock Demons had been pinning them down.

All you need to do is stick a spiritual-power-infused branch into the spot where their voices came from.

"I'm here to save you!"

"Quickly take a breath and burst out—only three seconds."

Gong Sun Huohuo's crisp voice rang out; the cries for help inside immediately ceased, replaced by weak replies.

Hearing their response, Gong Sun Huohuo leapt up—her current mid-level cultivator's power was more than enough to handle these mere hundred-year beasts.

As Luo Fu said, find the weakness, and no beast is unbeatable.

The moment Gong Sun Huohuo shoved a branch into one, the Great Rock Demon, unable to bear the pain, slowly opened the massive body pinning them beneath.

In an instant, two dark figures rolled out from under the Great Rock Demon.

Seeing this, Gong Sun Huohuo immediately leapt away from the Great Rock Demon.

She also scattered a layer of powder and jumped clear.

This powder resembled an anesthetic—it could instantly knock out humans and beasts alike, but could only be used once; a second application had no effect.

The two men who had just rolled out from under the Great Rock Demon were barely breathing.

Just as they thought they were doomed, they saw the Great Rock Demon had fallen utterly still—they finally exhaled in relief.

Gong Sun Huohuo hurried to their side and said, "Come with me, quickly—if my master can't hold off that group of Great Rock Demons, we'll all die."

"Thank you, miss."

"No time for thanks—move now."

Luo Fu and Gong Sun Huohuo had agreed on a meeting spot nearby—just head there, and there's a marker at that location.

The man in tattered black robes supported the man in tattered blue Chouyi robes, quickly following beside Gong Sun Huohuo.

They feared being left behind—they had been trapped under the Great Rock Demons' pressure for nearly three or four days.

Three or four days without water had left them utterly drained, yet for the sake of secrecy, they summoned every ounce of strength, refusing to slacken for a moment.

"Drink."

"Sip slowly at first—you'll need the strength."

Gong Sun Huohuo tossed a water bag to them; the two men, too exhausted to thank her, immediately took turns drinking.

After drinking, they felt as if their bodies had come back to life, regaining some strength.

In less than fifteen minutes, they reached the cave Luo Fu had described.

This cave should be safe.

Gong Sun Huohuo took back the water bag and handed them several wild fruits, saying, "Eat—they've just been washed."

The two men looked at Gong Sun Huohuo, forgot their dignity, and devoured the wild fruits with gusto—so much so that they tasted like meat.
