Chapter 220: The Great Escape

Turning her back, Lv Luo opened her eyes silently and secretly clenched her fists.

Master, if it were done to her like that, what would she feel?

The next morning, because of that reckless Su Chen, the two had been tossing and turning until the second half of the night, and Liu Ruyan had not rested well.

"Sister Ruyan, you look like you have no energy; would you like to rest a while longer?"

Lv Luo looked at Liu Ruyan with concern, seeing her yawn several times; she was clearly exhausted.

"No, no, I'm fine."

Liu Ruyan was too embarrassed to say that she had been fooling around with Su Chen last night until the second half of the night, which was why she looked like this, so she hurriedly braced herself; however, because of Su Chen's Flame Sun Sacred Body, Liu Ruyan even felt her cultivation realm had increased a little.

"Eat some Great Dao Fruit to replenish yourself, and just stay here and rest for a while today; Lv Luo and I will scout the nearby terrain to see if there is a way to get out of this Illusion Realm."

After a night of fooling around, Su Chen was in high spirits; for him, not resting for one night was not a big deal.

At this moment, she looked much more energetic than Liu Ruyan.

This Great Dao Fruit was a top-tier item, but Su Chen took it out without the slightest heartache or hesitation, as casually as taking out a piece of candy.

Even though she already knew of Su Chen's generosity, Liu Ruyan still couldn't help but be secretly shocked; even their Alliance Leader couldn't just casually take out a top-tier treasure like a Great Dao Fruit to give away for someone to eat for fun.

"It's fine, I'll just go with Master."

Lv Luo said with concern, her bright, watery eyes filled with a bit of worry.

"Ruyan, no need to insist, listen to me."

After Su Chen finished speaking, he didn't give Liu Ruyan a chance to speak and pulled Lv Luo away from there.

Liu Ruyan originally wanted to struggle a bit, but seeing the two of them walking away quickly, she could only give up.

Her heart felt warm, and she also had a feeling that meeting Su Chen was very lucky; with powerful strength, generous actions, and a limitless future, he was simply the dream Dao companion of every young girl.

After Su Chen and Lv Luo went out, they did not walk blindly like yesterday.

"Lv Luo, you should be very sensitive to the vitality of plants, right?"

Su Chen suddenly thought of something and asked abruptly.

"Yes, Master. Are you wanting me to sense where the plants are strongest?"

Hearing this, Lv Luo nodded.

The further they went inside, the more realistic the scenery in the Illusion Realm became, unlike before where it only refracted what they thought in their hearts.

This time, everything was truly and realistically existing, which also meant that their exploration of the interior was going deeper and deeper.

"Right, if nothing goes wrong, the profound mystery of the Illusion Realm might be in the deepest part; this might be the way for us to get out."

Su Chen said with a determined look.

"En!"

Hearing this, Lv Luo nodded and said.

Pale green Spiritual Power overflowed from her body, and after she closed her eyes to sense for a moment, she pointed in a direction, and the two instantly headed in that direction.

Facts proved that Su Chen's idea was correct; the further they went this way, the more Spirit Beasts there were, and there were even many Spirit Beasts with higher and deeper realms.

Although there was a gap in strength, the two of them still couldn't handle so many, and as those Spirit Beasts surged out continuously, the two found it increasingly difficult to deal with them.

"This can't go on."

Lv Luo panted heavily; her strength was not low, but she was not a creature good at attacking, and most of her Spiritual Power was gentle.

After finishing off another Spirit Beast, Su Chen looked at the surrounding directions and decisively pulled Lv Luo toward a gap where the Spirit Beasts were relatively sparse.

If they kept fighting like this, a war of attrition would sooner or later wear them to death; their original purpose was not to slaughter Spirit Beasts—of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best.

And those Spirit Beasts, having been hungry for so many years, naturally would not let go of the delicacy delivered to their mouths, roaring as they chased after them; thus, the two ran in front with a large group of Spirit Beasts chasing behind, and from time to time, those with stronger cultivation who caught up were directly finished off by the two.

The massive sound of that large group of Spirit Beasts shook the heavens and the earth, roaring with their throats and breathing out turbid air, with saliva hanging from their long, sharp fangs, as if they would swallow them into their bellies in the next second.

The two gradually felt a bit overwhelmed, and when they narrowly dodged a Spirit Beast's bite once again, they finally realized that this was not a solution; their physical strength was ultimately no match for that group of Spirit Beasts.

They couldn't fight them, and they couldn't outrun them, as if they had fallen into a vicious cycle.

Those Spirit Beasts were very united, determined to drive all outsiders out, and having finally seen two living creatures, they would absolutely not give up easily.

Among them were several Quasi-Emperor Realm Spirit Beasts releasing their full pressure; fortunately, they were only trailing behind the herd, and the two could barely resist.

The surrounding trees were affected and tottered, with a few collapsing with a boom.

A giant Spirit Beast suddenly roared and spat out flames; fortunately, Su Chen was quick-witted and pulled Lv Luo to hide behind a nearby tree, and that tree was directly scorched and collapsed with a boom, acting as a buffer and temporarily blocking the Spirit Beasts' path.

But suddenly, an Eagle flew over; it opened its sharp beak wide and let out a piercing cry, its brown-black wings spread out, almost covering half the sky's light, its eyes staring fixedly at Su Chen and Lv Luo.

As it flapped its wings, a violent whirlwind instantly attacked the two.

Su Chen's mind stirred, and his Divine Dragon Martial Soul instantly burst out from behind him; the dazzling golden light almost illuminated half the sky, the golden Dragon soared continuously, emitting a piercing dragon roar, with such great momentum that it instantly suppressed the Eagle, making it unable to move, and it flew in the air with a vow, keeping a certain distance from them.

This Eagle's strength was powerful and it had already developed some spiritual intelligence; it watched the two with tiger-like eyes and did not blindly rush over.

Su Chen knew that a stalemate like this was not a solution, so he directly pulled Lv Luo's hand and ran deeper; just like that, they ran for half an hour, and for some reason, the sounds of the Spirit Beasts behind them gradually ceased, their footsteps slowed down, and they suddenly discovered that there wasn't even a shadow of a Spirit Beast behind them.

"This... what is going on?"

Lv Luo panted heavily, feeling as if her bones were about to fall apart.

"Why didn't they chase after us?"

Su Chen was also a bit curious; he had been exhausted from fleeing just now and didn't even know when the shadows of the Spirit Beasts had disappeared.

"I don't know, half a quarter of an hour ago, they stopped their footsteps in unison, as if they were wary of something."

Lv Luo shook her head, feeling very puzzled in her heart as well.

"They stopped moving half a quarter of an hour ago, and you didn't say so earlier? It was a waste of me running for so long!"

After hearing this, Su Chen directly gave Lv Luo a flick on the forehead, feeling a bit broken inside.

"You didn't ask me either."

Lv Luo touched her forehead with teary eyes, looking innocent, "They stopped suddenly, and I thought they were going to use a big move, so I didn't say anything."
