The Flying Tusk Elephant had a huge body that weighed more than a thousand kilograms. One could only imagine how it could even tear a ferocious beast like a Lion Tiger into shreds while on a rampage.
Cold sweat started forming on Gao Xiangâs forehead when he looked at the steadily approaching cow.
Watching a small hill rush towards oneself was no joke. The visual stimulation made it seem as if one would be squashed in the next moment.
His throat tightened and he only managed to get a word out after a two second pause. âRun!â His nervousness even made his voice crack.
He had just lifted his feet when his sleeve was pulled and he heard Lu Mingshu say, âThis way.â
Gao Xiangâs palms were sweating excessively while his mind went completely blank. Without a thought, he blindly followed Lu Mingshuâs lead.
However, he felt something amiss after a few steps. The direction they were running in was exactly the same direction that the cow was rampaging towards. But how would their speed ever match up to the cow in her deranged state?
âWrong way! Wrong way!â Gao Xiang hastily shouted. They should have been heading in the horizontal direction. After all, wouldnât they be free food if they continued running straight?
âItâs not wrong, just follow me.â Lu Mingshu replied resolutely.
âHey âŚâ Looking at her continue on forward confidently, Gao Xiang could only submit to his fate. âIâll take it as my bad luck for knowing you âŚâ
Since itâs too late to turn back now, and Lu Mingshu has never left me in harmâs way, Iâll just take the gamble and think later âŚ
âWhere are the two of you running off to?!â Looking at the direction they were running towards, Yi Jiao grew anxious.
On the other side, as the oldest among the three, Shao Zhengyang held the most responsibility when the others were busy; now that the two were courting death due to his words of approval at Lu Mingshuâs request to bury a trap, he had a part in taking responsibility. But since he was forced to think on the spot, he could only follow after them in coming out of hiding: âHey, run in my direction!â Itâs an empty space over there. Do they seriously intend to rely on a few broken rocks to hinder the flying elephant? Stop dreaming! At least there are trees here and we can buy some time for help to arrive if we go around the trees.
The flying elephant ran over with booming steps; the ground trembled with each step it took. On the other hand, Wei Peng was currently struggling with his utmost effort from being coiled up by the elephantâs trunk.
âCome.â Seeing him catch up with them, Lu Mingshu reminded, âOnly step wherever I step, understand?â
âI understand.â Gao Xiang turned his head around anxiously to take a look. The original target of the cow was not them, but they had agitated the cow to run after them due to their running.
âWhat is this for?â Gao Xiang felt as if he had turned into a manipulated puppet by treading after Lu Mingshuâs footsteps with lightning speed; he took a step when she took a step.
He was extremely anxious as the cow was hot on their tails.
âQuick! Itâs only thirty feet away now.â From the current speed of the cow, wouldnât it catch up in the blink of an eye? Why are we going at such a slow pace âŚ
âDonât look back if you trust me!â Lu Mingshuâs tone was calm as usual.
Will we die more beautifully if we donât turn back? Gao Xiang wore a wrinkled and sour expression on his face. Now that they had run into the scope of the formation they had set up in this short amount of time, he roughly knew what Lu Mingshu wanted to do now. But to use a moment of life and death to test out a formation ⌠He really was literally giving his all to follow the other party âŚ
âDonât get distracted!â Gao Xiang was currently revelling in his own awesomeness when a slap on the back of his head from Lu Mingshu brought him back to Earth. Yet all he heard was her speaking rapidly, âFrom now on, do not tread on any wrong steps. If you ever take the wrong step, we will most likely be trampled into mush by the flying elephant. I assume you donât want to die, right?â
Gao Xiang thought, Why are we running in this direction if you know we will die horribly? Itâs not that he looked down on this formation, but how useful would a few broken rocks be? He had never heard of anyone trapping their enemies with a few broken rocks.
âWhat do these two intend to do?â As a hot-tempered person, Lin Chen wasted no time in flaring up. âTo think that they arenât listening to us at this dire moment. Donât drag us down too even if youâre looking to die!â
Zhu Jingliang had a tight frown on his face. âStop talking nonsense, talk after weâve blocked the flying elephant! â He was boiling up with anger deep down too. He commented on how these two saved the trouble by helping them out a lot, yet, he was proven wrong in just a day. Three newbies were brought along in one go: one was sent back to the cliff due to heavy injuries, while the other two were trampled to death by a flying elephant. Did their team even want to save face anymore? Especially when Gao Xiang was the only disciple from the Willow Woods line ⌠With how hot-tempered Elder An was, just the thought of implicating him to choose a new disciple sent shivers down Zhu Jingliangâs spine.
âSeven steps to the left.â Lu Mingshu began moving her feet.
Gao Xiang could only mindlessly follow.
âTake two steps around the eye of the formation, then turn left again.â
Fine, Iâll turn since you told me to.
âTake eight steps forward, turn right âŚâ
The two walked at a rapid pace, causing the flying elephant to run even faster. In the blink of an eye, they had taken the thirty feet and the cow was in the range of rocks.
Taking a brief look, Lu Mingshu continued to guide Gao Xiang through. Although the ground was shaking immensely because of the flying elephant, her pace never wavered.

Then, a miraculous event happened.
The cow had just entered the area of the rocks and took two running steps when it abruptly changed direction towards an opposite and irrelevant direction. Without taking even four steps, it changed direction again â and again âŚ
âHold up!â Zhu Jingliang managed to cease his footsteps in the nick of time, and stopped his comrade that had caught up. âLook over there!â
The group fixed their gazes over in the direction where the cow who was currently running around in circles between the rocks, turning the opposite direction after two to three steps each time. It looked extremely impatient as if it were drunk.
âWhatâs going on?â Yi Jiao looked at this scene in shock. Had something happened just now?
