“Go quickly!”
“That old prince definitely knows I’m not inside the spell formation. If he were to gather a hundred Galaxy Nova trialists to besiege us in all directions, we surely wouldn’t escape even with the Immortal Bird.”
“Let’s leave this area quickly while his soul can’t sense us!”
He was slightly reluctant to let go of the twenty four formation flags as they could be as powerful as that, even though he had not studied them carefully. Thus, if he were to lose them, he would definitely be broken-hearted for a few years. However, their lives were the most important thing now, and it would not be too late for him to get them back after escaping this tribulation.
He had set up many traps inside the spell formation force field with the twenty four formation flags, so he believed that not many people could crack it.
***
The night had descended entirely upon them.
It was chaotic inside the forest, now that it was raining harder, accompanied by gale and thunder. Even the divine consciousness of the trialists was subjected to great mental interference.
Under cover of the extreme weather, Alex and the others successfully sneaked away from the besiegement of the Galaxy Nova crowd.
During the period, they encountered Prince Baton’s pursuit several times and saw him yelling while flying past them overhead. However, this storm, coupled with Mystic Maiden’s force field for concealment, allowed them to dodge him smoothly… Even if it were a wide ranging scan with divine consciousness, it would be challenging to find the movements of those few people thanks to the ruckus brought on by the rain and wind.
He had lost the trails of Alex and the others.
Roar!
Baton vented his anger by completely smashing a mountain into pieces. Countless trees suffered the aftermath, and all the bone demons living in this forest trembled, not daring to show up.
Seven days later, Alex and the others rushed to the beach.
They wanted to go to the Eastern Immortal Island, but now they could only go there by sea.
“Orphan, orphan…”
The Immortal Bird opened its mouth and cried. It flapped its wings helplessly while looking at the endless sea.
“What do you mean?”
Alex kicked it rudely. It did not fly in the sky all the way to prevent itself from being targeted by Baton’s people. This guy, however, was enormous and too apparent as a target, so Alex had long wanted to kick it away.
A black-robed lady sat on the wooden horse.
The most surprising thing was the lady holding a rope in her hand and another lady tied to the other end, hanging high up in the sky. She flew with the wooden horse and danced with the wind like a kite.
“Who is that person?”
“What a strange combination!”
“Be careful. It better not turn out to be some trick by the Galaxy Nova trialists.”
The few people stayed vigilant.
It was then that the wooden horse in the sky slammed into the sea surface as fast as lightning. Then, an anomaly suddenly occurred. Mysterious runes flashed in the sky, and a tremendous pressure seemingly acted on that wooden Pegasus, causing it to fall violently and slam hard into the seawater. The lady hanging by the rope just happened to crash into the area next to Alex’s feet.
“Ah! It hurts! H-help me!” the woman cried for help when she saw Alex.
It turned out that she spoke English with a heavy South Californian accent.
