Chapter 162: He Flees, He Pursues
"Aoo—!"
"Aoo—!"
Wolf howls rose and fell from all directions.
Bai Feng's alarm bells rang at once; he took out a brand‑new spear and guardedly surveyed his surroundings.
"Gu Brother, be careful, demon beasts are coming."
Gu Han smiled, patted his shoulder, and said with a chuckle,
"Don't worry, these are the mounts I found for us."
In Bai Feng's astonished gaze, pairs of deep green eyes flickered in the forest.
Dozens of wolf demon beasts surrounded Gu Han and his companion.
Bai Feng felt his hairs stand on end with just a rough glance.
Even the weakest wolf demon beast here had reached three stars!
That corresponds to the Martial Master realm among humans!
The strongest among them, a wolf demon beast with earth‑yellow fur, had its aura reach four stars!
Compared to Little Wolf, its aura was not lacking.
To him, it was nothing.
But this is, after all, the Monster Beast Mountain Range!
It would not be surprising if even stronger wolf demon beasts appeared!
Yet these demon beasts, under Little Wolf's innate bloodline suppression, all prostrated themselves on the ground.
Like the most devout believers, they bowed their heads before Little Wolf!
This scene made Bai Feng feel like it was a fantasy.
Among wolf demon beasts, those with higher bloodlines indeed have suppressive power over those with lower bloodlines.
But to exert such strong suppressive power within the same realm, the bloodline gap must be enormous!
Bai Feng's gaze fell on Little Wolf.
What is the origin of this wolf demon beast with a human‑like arrogant expression, whose bloodline is so astonishing?
Even the battle pet of City Lord Jiang Tianyi doesn't suppress bloodlines that exaggeratedly, does it?
If Little Wolf had only the bloodline of a Water Moon Wolf a day ago, it could never have commanded so many wolf demon beasts.
But the transformation from Water Moon Wolf to Water Moon Wolf King has skyrocketed Little Wolf's status among its kin!
Gu Han selected the sole four‑star wolf demon beast, enlarged its body, then mounted it.
Bai Feng also picked a wolf demon beast that looked somewhat stronger.
Through Little Wolf, Gu Han designated Mu Shan Cheng as the destination for the demon beasts.
Then he let them run freely.
Demon beasts are more keenly aware of the aura of great demons.
Letting these wolf demon beasts that live year‑round in the Monster Beast Mountain Range roam freely is far safer than Gu Han and his companions finding their own way.
Not long after the two entered the forest, Jiang Tianyi and his battle pet also arrived in this mountain forest.
Jiang Tianyi instantly guessed Gu Han's intention.
If he were in Gu Han's place, he would surely choose the same method.
Using demon beasts as transport is both fast and able to conceal one's tracks.
"But you probably wouldn't expect that my battle pet's bloodline can command all wolf demon beasts below four stars, would you?"
Jiang Tianyi gave a cold, dark smile and immediately had his battle pet let out a long howl.
The demon beasts in the mountains instantly suffered greatly.
How could the auras of two wolf demon beasts that could be called great demons appear here one after another?
But they had no ability to resist.
They could only, driven by bloodline suppression, respectfully approach and crouch beside Jiang Tianyi's battle pet, the Night Howl Wolf.
"Have them search for Gu Han and Bai Feng, who left earlier."
The forest air was mixed, filled with the feces and corpses of various demon beasts.
Even with the Night Howl Wolf's astonishing sense of smell, it was hard to determine the exact direction Gu Han and his companions had taken.
But these local serpents understand the surrounding environment far better than the Night Howl Wolf.
Jiang Tianyi, using his inner energy, led several wolf demon beasts in a frantic dash through the mountain forest.
After each stretch of road, he would swap in a few wolf demon beasts that had once seen Gu Han fleeing, to continue the pursuit.
Jiang Tianyi's frantic dash quickly attracted the attention of many demon beasts.
Some powerful demon beasts whose territories had been disturbed originally wanted to flare up in anger.
But upon sensing Jiang Tianyi's unrestrained aura released.
They immediately cowered and watched Jiang Tianyi leave.
Since Jiang Tianyi didn't need to detour, his travel speed was far greater than Gu Han's and Bai Feng's.
The distance between the two sides also gradually narrowed at a steady pace.
"Little Night, use bloodline suppression to force the wolf demon beasts escorting Gu Han on his journey to stop."
Jiang Tianyi relied on his strength, but dared not exhaust his qi and blood.
Gu Han's previously displayed strength was extraordinarily astonishing.
If he exhausted his qi and blood in pursuit, even if he caught up to Gu Han, a slip-up would let Gu Han escape again.
As for the possibility of Gu Han defeating him, it didn't even enter Jiang Tianyi's considerations.
Awooo!!!
The Night Howl Wolf raised its head and let out a long howl, a howl with extreme penetrative power that made the fleeing Gu Han and others' faces slightly change.
This fellow actually caught up so quickly?
Moreover, the wolf tribe demon beasts beneath Gu Han and Bai Feng, upon hearing the Night Howl Wolf's howl, became restless.
Awooo!
Little Wolf let out a low growl, causing the restless wolf tribe demon beasts to gradually calm down.
However, their fleeing speed visibly slowed down.
Looks like it's unrealistic to have these wolf tribe demon beasts keep marching.
Gu Han suddenly had an idea, taking out a few pieces of clothing he had worn from his storage ring and tying them onto the wolf tribe demon beasts.
What are you standing there for? Come on together.
Bai Feng froze for a moment, then quickly understood Gu Han's intention.
He immediately followed suit, directly tying clothes all over each wolf tribe demon beast's body.
Next, Little Wolf drove these wolf tribe demon beasts to flee in different directions.
Meanwhile, it began to relay-escape with Gu Han.
Behind, the relentlessly pursuing Jiang Tianyi, guided by the demon beasts along the way, quickly caught up with the fleeing wolf tribe demon beasts.
Seeing the clothes tied onto those wolf tribe demon beasts, Jiang Tianyi finally realized he had been played.
Moreover, why could Gu Han's war beast ignore his Night Howl Wolf's bloodline suppression?
What annoyed him most was that he didn't even know when Gu Han started using these demon beasts to distract his attention!
Enraged, Jiang Tianyi blasted all the clothed wolf tribe demon beasts into a blood mist with a single palm!
Jiang Tianyi gazed coldly toward the direction of Mu Shan Cheng,
If today you manage to slip away from me, I, Jiang Tianyi, will write my name upside down!
He gave up the plan to continue pursuing Gu Han in the Demon Beast Mountains.
That brat is extremely sly, and playing mind games with him is exhausting.
Jiang Tianyi placed his hopes on Heifeng Zhai, hoping that its widespread network of informants could pick up traces of Gu Han.
He himself directly shot up into the air, rushing swiftly toward Mu Shan Cheng.
A few li outside Mu Shan Cheng,
We'll be at Mu Shan Cheng soon, hold on a bit.
In order to shake off Jiang Tianyi's pursuit, Gu Han and Bai Feng have exhausted all methods, looping around the forest again and again.
Meanwhile, the two of them had almost no moment's rest; under the urgent hurry, they finally could see the newly built fortress of Mu Shan Cheng.
But just then, a feathered arrow shot like lightning from the woods.
By the time Bai Feng noticed the feathered arrow, there was no time to dodge!
