Just then, there was a loud rumbling from the woods!
Mrs Ning blanched at the sound!
She had accompanied Ning Zhiyuan, her husband, when he was stationed at Wanping Town back in the day, and he had defended the town against waves of magical beasts then. As a result, Mrs Ning was very familiar with that sound. “A wave of magical beasts is coming! Let’s go! Quickly!”
Oh god, so the magical beasts were really coming?!
The carriage driver whipped the horses hard!
The horses galloped off at an unbelievable speed along the mountain track!
Feng Liu and Feng Yiran looked equally bewildered… The magical beasts were really coming?
The rumbling they heard came from none other than the earth shaking as countless magical beasts rushed toward them!
“Let’s go!” Throwing Feng Liu onto a horse, Feng Yiran took another horse and dashed off with her!
Feng Liu felt like screaming!
However, she had no time to resent Feng Wu now, for every second had to be spent on running for her life!
They heard more rumbling three minutes after they set out!
There came a loud sound!
Through a gap in the curtains, Yan Yan watched as a herd of magical beasts trampled over Sumeru Temple, which was reduced to shambles in no time…
“Oh my god!”
Covering her mouth with one hand, Yan Yan grabbed her mother’s hand with the other. “Sumeru Temple, the temple…”
Mrs Yan turned around, and what she saw almost made her pass out! Sumeru Temple was gone!
Mrs Ning looked over her shoulder and coldly said, “We should thank that young lady for her reminder. We’d all be dead by now if it wasn’t for her.”
Mrs Yan looked away and Yan Yan snorted under her breath, reluctant to admit her fault.
Mrs Ning asked Ning Chenxi, “What’s that young lady’s name? We must thank her for this. Even the smallest help should be returned generously, not to mention that she just saved our lives.”
Ning Chenxi scratched his head. “Her name… well, I haven’t gotten to that part yet.”
Mrs Ning was speechless. No wonder he was getting nowhere with the young lady. He didn’t even know her name! Why did she have such a dumb son?
Rumble!
The magical beasts were running fast. Before long, they were in sight!
“Aunt, stop talking about that girl. We need to hurry up! They’re catching up to us!” Seeing the magical beasts that were less than a kilometer behind them, Yan Yan was almost in tears. “They’re here! They’re on us!”
Mrs Yan said, “It’s good that we weren’t the last ones. The brother and sister left after us and were only 500 meters ahead of the beasts. They’ll be eaten before we are.”
Mrs Ning almost rolled her eyes at her sister. However, she was too busy directing the carriage to say anything.
All of a sudden!
Rumble!
The ground beneath them gave way!
The narrow track they were traveling along cracked suddenly and Mrs Ning felt a sharp pain in her belly!
Crumble —
The two horses pulling their carriage were terrified of the magical beasts to begin with, and they went into meltdown as the earth shook. They were now rushing toward the edge of the cliff with the carriage!
The carriage was on the steepest part of the track now. On one side was the precipitous cliff and the other side the valley!
The sudden change in direction frightened everyone on board!
“No!”
Mrs Yan and Yan Yan screamed at the top of their lungs!
They had forgotten all about being graceful.
The carriage plunged into the valley!
It was such a long way down the slope!
Meanwhile, Feng Wu was driving their carriage as fast as she could. Because they had left 15 minutes earlier than the others, they were still relatively safe.
