Chapter 1008: Chapter 1017: Escape (Part 1)
This is awkward!
Although Del is an Innate Powerhouse, he didnât dare show any displeasure in front of Lin Xi.
Initially, they had doubts about how someone so young could be as formidable as Dek claimed, or as the rumors said.
Even though they were skeptical, they couldnât underestimate him. After all, Dek wouldnât deceive them.
This means he indeed has killed Innate Powerhouses before.
No matter how he did it, it proves his strength isnât inferior to theirs, perhaps even stronger.
Now, witnessing his casual display of medical skills, almost restoring their power completely.
Honestly, this scared them.
Being over a hundred years old, with rich experiences, theyâve seen all sorts of peculiar things, but something this miraculous was a first-time for them, hence the fright.
Such a feeling, they hadnât experienced it in many years.
"No, no, no, we didnât mean it this way!" he quickly denied, not wanting to make enemies nor admitting his ruthlessness.
The others also shook their heads, indicating that thereâs no way theyâd leave Avril alone!
They all entered together, so naturally, they must leave together.
Only Avrilâs two elders seemed inexplicably puzzled.
Since when has the Butte Clanâs face value grown so large?
You must know, the power of Dekâs family wouldnât be inferior to that of the Butte Clan.
Delâs side was only slightly lacking.
However, overall, the three clansâ strengths were similar, as they are Britainâs top three families.
"Whatâs strange?" The one-armed elder glanced at his old brother, thinking to himself.
His old brother was also unable to comprehend.
Could it be the Butte Clan combined with this young manâs medical skills causing this group to behave this way?
"Heh!" Lin Xi snorted coldly.
"A bunch of old foxes!"
He showed no face to this group, speaking directly.
Then he pulled Avril to sit at a stone bench not far off.
The group looked at each other, their faces even more awkward, but they didnât know what to say.
Avril, "... ..."
"Is this a bit inappropriate?"
She, although confident in Lin Xiâs ability, thought that to exit, they should combine everyoneâs strength to jointly deal with the giant bear for a chance.
Additionally, she worried about provoking this group.
Donât be fooled by their seemingly kind appearances now.
As sheâs aware, even her familyâs elders gained their positions and strength through constant battles over a long period.
Otherwise, growing up into an Innate or King of Soldiers in a greenhouse would be nearly impossible.
"Should we try?" Del looked at the others.
The others pondered for a moment and nodded.
They were nine in total, four Innates and five Peak Soldier Kings.
With such strength, they should be able to crush any family.
Most importantly, they felt their strength had almost recovered, while the giant bear outside had some injuries and appeared fatigued, likely due to age.
"Letâs fight and see!"
"Even if we canât win, escaping shouldnât be a problem!"
This is what they thought!
As for their earlier stance about not leaving Avril behind, they no longer considered it.
Because they felt Avril had no strength, couldnât run fast, and hindered and retaliated; isnât she a burden?
Seeing Lin Xi insisting on taking Avril, they resolved to abandon the two.
Although Lin Xi had saved two of them, it wouldnât compel them to risk their lives.
Plus, Del and the others stopped them.
At this moment, their eyes were filled with apology towards Lin Xi, deeply bowing.
Of course, everyone thought Lin Xi staying behind was exceedingly stupid.
Perhaps Lin Xi hoped they would distract the bear while he and Avril fled?
This strategy isnât flawed.
But the bear wasnât a mindless animal; upon reaching Innate, even a pig would gain wisdom.
"Go!"
They didnât linger, forming a formation to charge out of Stone Mountain.
Facing a raging bear furiously, swinging a paw at them.
They easily dodged aside.
Once out of Stone Mountain, seeing the bearâs towering figure still felt imposing.
In individual combat or with two or three fighters, even with the bearâs current condition, it would crush them.
"Go!"
Del shouted fiercely, not intending a death fight; itâs too meaningless.
The group immediately rushed toward the palace direction.
Only the palaceâs complex terrain favored their escape from the bear.
Besides, the Magic Array was within.
They needed to pass through it to escape.
Inside Stone Mountainâs passage, Avril looked very displeased.
The elders abandoned her, without uttering a word, like strangers.
Alas!
In the eyes of Innate Powerhouses, people like them were considered ants.
About this, Lin Xi didnât say much.
"Should we leave?" After adjusting her mood, Avril asked Lin Xi.
She had noticed the bear chased after the group, leaving Stone Mountain.
So she thought it was the right moment to leave; waiting until the bear couldnât catch them or killed them all, itâd surely block the entry again.
"No rush!" Lin Xi replied.
Avril, "...."
She was anxious!
The bear had been led away; why not leave now?
"When then?"
"If knowing itâs impossible to beat the bear, just escape!"
"If they escape, we will surely die!"
"Leaving now is the best option!"
Lin Xi shook his head, not explaining, merely saying, "The time hasnât come yet!"
Okay!
Avril didnât want to speak further; she also didnât leave alone.
After all, Lin Xi stayed with her, altering her perspective on him significantly.
Though falling in love with him, never in this life.
If she loves, itâs loving people like Luo Susu, Dili Bare, Zhu Ying, Zhou Yan, etc.
As a lesbian, she must remain steadfast.
Moreover, she felt men were annoying creatures.
But she hadnât realized she sat closely with Lin Xi without discomfort.
Which before, absolutely wouldnât happen.
Or even with family, they wouldnât be this intimate.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Terrified screams came intermittently from outside; within five minutes, those who left returned frightened.
Except there were nine initially; now, only seven returned.
Each bore significant injuries.
