The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3118 A Desperate Cry

"No!" Zhou Zixing cried out in despair! Without the slightest hesitation, he channeled all the innate power from his dantian.

But how can a primordial domain that has already been destroyed be repaired? The only way is to use primordial power to create a new primordial domain.

However, forming an innate domain takes time, although the process is relatively short. But the collapse of his innate domain caused a temporary stagnation in his internal energy circulation, which was troublesome!
Then, because he was eager to replenish his collapsed innate domain with innate power, he was immediately met with a response from the collapsed domain. A mouthful of innate power was trapped in his dantian, causing damage to his dantian in an instant.

Now, the dantian that had taken the Berserk Pill actually had some hidden injuries. If it was carefully cared for and the right pills were taken afterward, the hidden injuries in the dantian would naturally be restored to their original state.

However, the sudden backlash aggravated the damage to his dantian, instantly shattering Zhou Zixing's ambition to advance in a short time. This was an outcome Zhou Zixing had never wanted to see.

A mournful cry escaped, but it was too late to save him. Just as he uttered his cry, blood was about to gush out, but the first beast to rush forward thrust its powerful weight into him.

Zhou Zixing instantly transformed into a flying creature. He had escaped the encirclement, but this sudden impact sent him flying back again.

The pain from the impact caused his hand to loosen involuntarily, and the pill he had just taken out but hadn't yet swallowed slipped to the ground.

Just then, a small beast saw the pill and immediately rushed forward, swallowing it along with the pill on the ground and a large pile of soil.

With a "bang!", Zhou Zixing landed on the ground, and the blood he had just swallowed gushed out uncontrollably.

This further aggravated the damage to his dantian, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.

Originally, his life was nearing its end, but since arriving in this valley, he had a glimmer of hope that he might be able to advance to the third level of the Innate Realm and extend his lifespan. However, just as this hope was about to be realized, it was forcibly suppressed again.

It's like finding out you've won a big prize, but when you go to claim it, you've lost the ticket!
What could be more tragic than this?
A tear slid down Zhou Zixing's old eyes, but at that moment, the hind leg of a strange beast appeared quickly and stepped on his chest.

With a loud "crack!", the powerful stomp broke his entire sternum. Zhou Zixing, unable to resist, immediately fainted from the impact!
Then, his body was grabbed by a large beast and violently swung back and forth while roaring.

The action seemed to be a celebration of victory; finally catching this little two-legged creature made him truly happy.

Then it scurried over to the shadowy figure, as if trying to curry favor.

At the same time, Qian Ying, who had just escaped the encirclement, heard Zhou Zixing's last desperate cry, but she did not turn back or stop.

Having finally escaped, how could they possibly turn back and go to rescue their companions just because of their desperate cries?
Besides, he and Zhou Zixing were merely cooperating and using each other to gain more benefits in this valley.

But in such a life-or-death situation, you should run as fast as you can.

The two were fleeing for their lives separately, and whoever escaped would depend on their own abilities. Whoever was more capable would succeed in escaping, while the less capable would remain behind to await their death.

Therefore, Qian Ying naturally wouldn't turn back, nor would he hesitate; in fact, he accelerated even further. The Bloodthirsty Pill he had just consumed had boosted his speed to its limit. He had never felt or experienced such extreme speed before. Perhaps, this was the power of the Core Formation Realm.

Perhaps taking the Bloodthirst Pill this time isn't a bad thing. Being able to experience the Nascent Soul Realm might make it easier to advance in the future.

Although he was thinking this, the innate power in his dantian was being unleashed with all his might, as if he wanted to escape. Nothing could stop him from fleeing at this moment!
Fortunately, the shadowy figure didn't stop him from escaping, either because he was too fast or because Zhou Zixing's screams made the figure overlook him. These were all good things for him.

Run! Run! Run as fast as you can!

Just as Qian Ying broke through the encirclement of the strange beasts, distanced himself from the pursuing beasts, and felt that he could escape, a figure shattered his rising hope.

A dark figure instantly appeared dozens of meters in front of him, leisurely swinging a white stick, accompanied by sonic booms, and whistling as it rushed towards him!

His eyes widened in horror; he hadn't expected the dark figure to be so fast.

He had thought he could escape, but now he was lamenting that the shadowy figure wasn't ignoring him; rather, it was playing cat and mouse with him, letting him run out first and giving him hope of escape before suddenly appearing in front of him and cutting off all his hopes.

With the stick hurtling towards him, if he didn't stop, it would be as if he were to use his body to meet the stick.

Qian Ying wanted to stop, but the extreme speed she had just unleashed was not something she could stop at will, and her body involuntarily headed towards the white stick.

Especially after taking the Bloodthirsty Pill, his meridians were filled with innate power. Although he had used up a lot of it during his escape, he still had plenty left. This abundant innate power gave him even more strength to run.

Therefore, stopping isn't something that can be done instantly. Since all my strength was used for running, my lower limbs' meridians are filled with innate power, and it takes time to draw that abundant innate power back into my dantian.

Moreover, while his current strength is double what it was before, his control over his body is different. After all, his strength has increased dramatically, but his control hasn't, so his physical coordination has naturally decreased.

With a loud "bang!", he tried to stop himself from running, but unexpectedly, he was still momentarily slowed down. It was this momentary slowness that caused him to crash into the white stick.

Before he could even swing his innate short sword, it was slapped back by a stick.

Qian Ying really didn't expect the shadowy figure to be so fast, appearing in front of him in an instant, leaving him no time to react.

"No!" Qian Ying cried out in despair as her body arced through the air before plunging into the horde of strange beasts.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, just like Zhou Zixing had just suffered, but even more tragically.

The white stick of the shadowy figure was not something an ordinary person could withstand, so the result of the impact on Qian Ying was that many of her bones were broken. After flying out and hitting the ground, she passed out before she could even get up!
