World of Longevity

Xiao Chen swiftly retreated, charging towards the three pursuing guards and intentionally becoming surrounded. However, the brown-haired man sneered and controlled the Scroll to descend, completely ignoring that his men were also within the attack range.

Xiao Chen had no choice but to force his way through the encirclement. At the same time, he pushed his power to its limit, emitting a faint light. He then moved his palms in an indescribable trajectory, stirring up waves of intense Yuan Qi fluctuations. After a loud shout, all the dead branches and stones on the ground floated up and charged towards the scroll in the air.

Of course, the attack didn't only aim for that one Scroll; the remaining seven unactivated scrolls were all within the attack range. The brown-haired man's face suddenly changed, and he had no choice but to let the descending scroll explode, triggering a terrifying wave of energy.

A five-meter-long white tiger, formed entirely from energy, leaped up, lunging at Xiao Chen below. Meanwhile, dozens of energy light blades were shot out alongside it.

Feeling the terrifying energy fluctuations, Xiao Chen pushed his agility to the limit and narrowly avoided the dangerous attack. The ground trembled violently, with a terrifying crater more than four meters deep left behind, raising endless dust.

The three guards, although not hit directly, were all knocked down by the aftershock. Xiao Chen, without even looking back, ran away and quickly escaped from the area blocked by the energy scroll.

When the dust settled, the brown-haired man's face was green with anger. He bellowed, "Chase!" He collected the remaining seven scrolls, leading the three guards in the pursuit.

At the same time, the Little Sky Horse, looking like carved from divine jade, appeared from the distance, carrying Zhao Lin'er and heading towards this place.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Xiao Chen knew that the terrifying fluctuations caused by the scroll's explosion had led his mortal enemy to him. He left an afterimage in the dense forest and swiftly rushed towards the Primitive Old Forest.

The Little Unicorn Sacred Beast caught sight of Xiao Chen's figure. It seemed to understand what was about to happen, and suddenly changed its course, carrying Zhao Lin'er away.

The brown-haired man was shocked beyond belief.

Zhao Lin'er was equally surprised. The Little Unicorn Sacred Beast completely ignored her orders, carrying her and bounding quickly through the treetops, seemingly unwilling to let her clash with Xiao Chen.

Helplessly, the Royal Celestial Maiden took her opportunity to jump off the Little Sky Horse.

For Zhao Lin'er, Xiao Chen's active appearance was an opportunity she didn't want to let go. Otherwise, she would also have to start hunting down Xiao Chen, as the brown-haired man's reinforcements were approaching soon.

Soon, Zhao Lin'er and the brown-haired man regrouped. However, the impenetrable Primitive Forest was so dense that, after the delay, Xiao Chen had already disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, the brown-haired man completely overcame his gloomy appearance, confidently laughing, "Your Highness, there's no need to regret. He just escaped temporarily. At the latest by tomorrow, our reinforcements will be here, even if there were ten or so Giant Apes protecting him, it would still be possible to wipe them out completely!"

"Thank you for your help, Brother Gu Luo!" Royal Heavenly Girl Zhao Lin'er's features were beautiful, her temperament transcending the mundane, exuding an indescribable agility and elegance.

Having shaken off his pursuers and bypassed the Tyrannosaurus territory, Xiao Chen slowed his pace in the forest. His sharp and decisive attack had successfully allowed him to break out of the enemy. By all accounts, it was a successful counterattack.

With the addition of a strong enemy, Xiao Chen's situation became even more dangerous, leaving him no choice but to seriously consider how to handle it.

By dusk, the brown-haired man, Gu Luo, was standing in front of the Bamboo House, his face incredibly fierce. Having lost five of his subordinates, he was truly furious. His tightly held hands were so white that it appeared he was on the verge of losing control. Initially, he wanted to kill Xiao Chen for Zhao Lin'er, but now, for his own sake, there's no way he can let Xiao Chen continue to live.

Zhao Lin'er was in conversation with the Little Unicorn Sacred Beast by a small lake. However, no matter how she promised, the Little Sky Horse would immediately shake its head as soon as she brought up finding Xiao Chen, leaving her with no choice but to give up.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was advancing deeper into the island. The vicinity of the Overlord Dragon territory was not safe anymore. If he continued to stay there, he might have to face a terrible siege the next day.

Of course, before leaving, he set up a diversion, leaving some clues pointing to certain extremely dangerous places. If the pursuers ended up encountering some Otherworldly Beasts, then his goal would be achieved.

The evening glow painted the sky red, and the crimson clouds made the forest seem as if it was also draped in a dull red light. The roars of beasts resounded through the endless Primitive Old Forest, and terrifying barbarian beasts began to emerge within forest.

"Boom!"

A giant elephant, covered in green scale armor, emerged. Its two shiny tusks were as sharp as broadswords. Its eyes shone with ferocity as it chased several wild bulls past Xiao Chen, the ground shaking beneath their weight. Soon after, a heartbreaking bellow of a bull echoed from not too far away.

Xiao Chen peered through the branches and leaves, seeing the giant green-scaled elephant devouring a wild bull. The sight was incredibly bloody, leaving him no choice but to remark on the sheer number and terror of the Otherworldly beasts inhabiting this island.

Being cautious as he avoided different unheard-of and unseen terrifying beasts, Xiao Chen had covered eight or nine li by the time the afterglow completely disappeared. He then entered a dark, damp swamp.

This swamp was eerily silent. Apart from the towering ancient trees, there was no sign of any beasts, not even a single bird. Ponds, mud pits... The silence was deafening, making it seem like a land of death!

The roars of beasts echoed from a distance while this place was deathly quiet. This made the strange atmosphere here even more prominent.

As he ventured further into the swamp, the air became more humid. The unique rotten smell from the mud penetrated his nostrils. Xiao Chen frowned; how could he not have noticed this unusual place? The air was heavy with negative energy, faintly filling with a chilling breath.

After advancing more than a li, apart from the trees, he still hadn't found any living creatures. But in the mud pits and marshes, there were many white bones– some half-buried in the mud, others exposed on the surface, creating a frightening scene in the dim forest.

There were all kinds of skeletons, including those of the barbarian beasts, ranging from one to two meters to over a dozen meters in size. Most surprisingly to Xiao Chen, he also spotted human skeletons! Judging from their color and bone quality, they must have been there for centuries.

The last bit of afterglow disappeared, plunging the world into darkness. The swamp turned even more gloomy with giant trees standing like tombstones in this deathly silent swamp.

"Crack!"

Amid the silence, the abrupt sound of bones cracking made this Death Swamp incredibly grim. Xiao Chen turned around abruptly, but found nothing. Perhaps it was just the sound of weathered bones cracking...
