On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

The weight of a thousand pounds pressed down on Ye Han's bones and muscles. With each step he took, he could feel the muscles in his arms and shoulders being stretched to their limits under high gravity, and his bones were creaking.

A dull, loud thud came from behind.

Boom!

The giant rock frog crashed onto the rocky ground by the lake, right next to the rock where Ye Han had just been sitting.

The flat stone was smashed to pieces, with fragments flying everywhere. The impact created a crater several tens of meters in diameter in the ground.

The ground shook.

The giant stone frog sprang up from the pit again, its thick hind legs kicking out two deep craters in the ground, and its grayish-white body rose into the air once more.

It spun in the air, its eyes, whose location was unknown, always locked onto the moving target.

"Watch out, it's coming again," Snow White warned.

"I understand. We're in open space now, and there's no way to escape," Ye Han said urgently.

There was no suitable place to hide, only a flat, grayish-white ground and a grove of low trees.

The grove of low trees looked so close, with the ground-hugging vegetation only reaching knee-high at most, not enough to hide two grown people.

Ye Han gritted his teeth and desperately activated the rabbit talisman.

My foot speed increased a little bit, but it still wasn't enough.

He could only keep running and changing direction, trying to shake off the aerial killer aiming at them from above.

Dodge in an S-shape, following an irregular rhythm.

In order to prevent the giant stone frog from predicting his trajectory.

Ye Han had made a boastful promise before.

It wouldn't be a problem to say there's a group.

Now that I've actually encountered this situation, it's a real slap in the face.

Let alone a group, he can't even outrun this one right now.

The rabbit talisman's speed was reduced to only one-tenth by gravity, and carrying the snow made things even worse, putting considerable pressure on Ye Han.

That guy flew in the sky like a cannonball, much faster than him, and each dive shortened the distance.

"Left!" Bai Xue's voice came from his arms.

Ye Han suddenly dodged to the right.

Boom!

The giant rock frog crashed down less than twenty meters to his left, sending fragments flying that stung his calves.

Every time a loud bang occurred, Ye Han's heart would clench.

The sounds grew closer, more frequent, and more urgent.

The giant stone frog is accelerating; its leaps are getting faster and its dives are getting more ferocious, leaving them less and less time to react.

Each landing felt like a bomb exploding behind them, sending rubble and dust flying everywhere, with shockwaves coming one after another.

Bai Xue's voice kept ringing in my ears, reporting out the location of the Giant Stone Frog one by one.

Suddenly, the two entered an area with even more terrifying gravity, and the gravity they were experiencing increased dramatically.

The giant rock frog's falling speed increased dramatically.

boom!

A shockwave blasted Ye Han to the ground, and Bai Xue slipped out of his arms and rolled down beside him, leaving a distance of two or three steps between them.

My ears are ringing.

My vision is blurry.

Ye Han did not stop.

"Ye Han..." Bai Xue's voice changed.

Seeing Ye Han risking his life for her, she felt a pang of heartache.

Ye Han had already picked her up and continued running.

He couldn't care less about the pain in his body. The cuts on his back from the rubble widened under the weight of gravity, every inch of his skin protesting, but he dared not stop.

Stopping will mean death.

The horse's healing speed could no longer keep up, and the damage was accumulating and getting deeper.

He could feel the warm blood flowing down his calves.

My trouser legs were soaked through, and when I ran, I could feel the fabric pulling against my skin; every step felt like tearing something apart.

The gravity in this area is several levels higher than that at the lakeside.

The ground gradually changed from a flat, grayish-white rock to a darker, hard, dark gray crust, and the ground became increasingly hard underfoot.

It's no different from stepping on metal.

"Ye Han, your leg!"

Bai Xue's voice changed; it was no longer the calm tone she used to give when reporting the time, but rather a trembling voice filled with fear.

The fear of seeing someone you care about crumble little by little, and being powerless to stop it.

"If this continues, his body definitely won't be able to hold up," Bai Xue said worriedly.

"Put me down."

Ye Han ignored her and gritted his teeth to keep running.

"Ye Han, put me down! Your leg is bleeding. You'll die if you keep running. Put me down, I'll hold it off, and you can run away." Bai Xue's voice became urgent.

She was serious.

Ye Han could tell too.

"Shut up," Ye Han squeezed out through gritted teeth.

This was the first time he had spoken to Bai Xue in this tone.

"You can't run fast carrying me. Rather than both of us dying here, it's better to..."

"I said shut up!" Ye Han roared.

I had just completed a turn when my right knee made a dull thud as I pushed off the ground.

My bones are about to break.

He stumbled, almost dropping Bai Xue, but quickly reached up with his left hand to catch her and hold her steady again.

Put her down?

The thought flashed through Ye Han's mind, but he extinguished it without hesitation.

If you put her down, he might be able to survive on his own.

But Snow White is doomed.

Without the Rabbit Talisman, she couldn't run fast, and in this environment, all she could do was be a target and wait to die.

Ye Han couldn't do it, and he couldn't let go.

He remembered all the kindness Bai Xue had shown him.

We made a promise six months ago to conquer the Eight Extremes Star together and learn the Eight Extremes Heaven. We must do it. How can we fall here!

How could we let her die here!

Ye Han bit the inside of his lip, using the pain to force himself to stay awake, desperately searching his mind for any possible way to escape.

They couldn't outrun it, and they couldn't utilize the terrain.

The bone knife was hanging from his waist.

It's okay for dealing with Black Sand Wolves, but it probably won't even be able to break through the defenses of the Giant Stone Frog. Its stone armor can shatter mountains and split the earth, so his knife, which is made of bone, would just be a tickle.

In the current situation, there is absolutely no room for retaliation.

While pondering, Ye Han suddenly remembered that frogs have a common trait.

They have excellent dynamic vision, and can accurately lock onto flying insects and swimming fish, no matter how fast or small their movements are.

However, their static vision is very poor.

To them, things that don't move are no different from stones.

The giant rock frog is also a frog.

They rely on dynamic vision to lock onto their prey, and no matter how fast the prey runs, it cannot shake them off, which will instead continuously stimulate their hunting instincts.

The faster it runs, the more enthusiastically it chases.

What if you stop? If you remain completely still, will you really turn into a stone in its eyes?

The thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

There was no time to hesitate.

The giant stone frog was already gathering its strength for the next leap, and the terrifying sense of oppression behind it was approaching.

Ye Han dragged his almost unresponsive legs and carried Bai Xue towards a relatively low boulder not far away.

The rock wasn't big; it was just big enough to cover two people.

But this is the last chance.

I can't run anymore. If I keep running, my legs will give way soon.

He and Snow White would both be smashed into mincemeat by that enormous, grayish-white creature.

There is only one road left.

bet.

Behind the rock, there was just enough room for two people to crouch close together.

Ye Han pressed Bai Xue down, then squatted down himself, leaning against the stone.

"Don't move, don't make a sound," he whispered in Bai Xue's ear, his voice barely audible.
