Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

In the past, those children who escaped also fled from here, but in the end, they were always caught and brought back from here.

Perhaps out of confidence, Ling Yazi didn't do anything special at this intersection, just leaving it wide open.

Anyone could escape.

However, Ling Yazi also believed that no one had the courage to escape.

The truth was indeed like this. Even though everyone knew that this intersection connected to the road to freedom, after witnessing Ling Yazi's powerful immortal techniques, no one dared to try to escape again. The thought of being caught by that goshawk and then falling from a great height, covered in blood, sent shivers down their spines.

Chen Tian was certainly afraid, but he knew even more clearly that if they didn't escape, the outcome awaiting them would only be death!

The pace of the crowd was very slow, but Chen Tian's heart beat faster and faster.

Closer! Closer! They were getting closer and closer to that intersection that led to escape and freedom, and Chen Tian's heart was about to leap out of his throat.

For a moment, in Chen Tian's eyes, it seemed as if the whole world had become illusory, and the only thing that was clear was that intersection, shining brightly under the sunlight, signaling freedom.

Finally, as Chen Tian followed the slow-moving crowd, approaching the vicinity of that intersection, he mustered all his strength and roared loudly like a lion: "Xiaolong, run!"

At this moment, Chen Tian, with one hand carrying the package and the other pulling Xiaolong, unleashed all the strength in his body and ran quickly towards the back of the intersection.

Because this place was full of mountains and forests, before long, Chen Tian and Xiaolong's figures disappeared into the slowly fading woods behind the intersection, vanishing without a trace!

… … … … … …

Chen Tian's escape caused the remaining children to stop in their tracks, looking somewhat surprised.

However, this surprise only stayed on their faces for a brief moment, quickly disappearing and being replaced by indifference and sympathy, because they were certain that Chen Tian would definitely not be able to escape.

Some people had even begun to imagine the scene of Chen Tian being brutally beaten after being caught, a twisted mentality that had developed after being abused for a long time.

Of course, the matter of Chen Tian's escape was quickly reported to Ling Yazi.

At this time, Ling Yazi was sitting cross-legged in his room, cultivating. After hearing about this matter, there wasn't much change on his face. He remained as indifferent as usual, saying with disdain: "Interesting. After witnessing this immortal's methods, there are still people who dare to escape. It just so happens that this immortal has been very bored recently, playing with them isn't impossible. Fine, I'll let you escape for a day first, and then I'll use my magic to catch you back the next day. I hope you won't be caught too quickly, otherwise, I'll be very bored."

After saying that, Ling Yazi laughed wildly and arrogantly.

… … … … … …

On the other side, after escaping from the spirit mine, Chen Tian grabbed Xiaolong's hand and ran for their lives.

Chen Tian knew that Ling Yazi would soon release that giant eagle to catch them, so they had to run as far as possible before the eagle arrived.

In fact, after leaving the spirit mine, they only needed to run west for three days to escape completely. That's what the children who had escaped in the past had done.

However, Chen Tian at this time went against the grain. He didn't go west, but instead changed direction and ran east.

You must know that the east is a remote and uninhabited deep mountain forest, and there are many wild animals and poisonous snakes inside. Even the most experienced local hunters don't dare to enter easily.

Moreover, tens of miles to the east are all towering mountains, making it very easy for people to lose their way and eventually die in the mountains.

Therefore, the eastern mountains are called the Valley of Death by the locals, meaning that those who enter have a slim chance of survival.

Chen Tian certainly knew this, but he was determined to take Xiaolong to the east.

Because Chen Tian expected that Ling Yazi would definitely think that he would run west, so at that time, he would first send the goshawk to chase west.

Chen Tian had witnessed the power of that goshawk, so he knew that if he really ran west, he would inevitably fail in the end.

As for the east, although it was full of dangers, it could temporarily deceive Ling Yazi and give them more time to escape. In this way, perhaps a miracle would really happen.

One side was a 100% failure, and the other was a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. Although the probabilities seemed similar, the meticulous Chen Tian preferred to take a gamble!

With this in mind, Chen Tian became even more determined in his heart, gritted his teeth, grabbed Xiaolong's hand, and quickly fled eastward.

… … … … … … … …

A day later, Chen Tian and Xiaolong had already entered the ghostly deep mountain forest, but Chen Tian didn't slow down, but instead ran even faster into the depths of the forest.

Three days later, Chen Tian entered the center of the valley. Everywhere here were tall trees reaching into the sky, and the dense branches and leaves blocked all the light, making the jungle incredibly dark.

And within this darkness, pairs of eyes emitting a faint red light occasionally flickered, as if some wild beasts were lurking behind.

However, Chen Tian didn't feel afraid, but instead felt a little surprised, because he had calculated that no child had ever been able to persist for more than three days without being caught back. Chen Tian and Xiaolong were the first.

In other words, Chen Tian was very likely to escape Ling Yazi's clutches.

It's just that running fast would waste a lot of energy, so Chen Tian and Xiaolong's daily food intake was even greater.

Although Chen Tian had started storing food fifteen days ago, under such intense and frantic consumption, it soon became stretched thin.

And on the fifth day, they finally ate the last steamed bun.

Without dry food, Chen Tian began to pick wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.

It's just that this place was rarely visited by people. Although there were tempting melons and fruits everywhere, Chen Tian knew that most of them were poisonous.

So Chen Tian only picked the wild fruits that he recognized. However, in this way, the number of wild fruits was far from enough, and the two of them could only barely fill their stomachs.

Because of the lack of sufficient food, Chen Tian and Xiaolong's speed also slowly decreased.

Fortunately, according to Chen Tian's speculation, they had already traveled most of the journey, and perhaps they would be able to walk out of this deep mountain forest in a few more days.

"Brother Tian, do you think we can really escape?"

At noon on the seventh day, Xiaolong looked up at Chen Tian and asked.

Because of running day and night, coupled with insufficient food, Xiaolong's face was pale at this time, looking extremely haggard.

Chen Tian looked at him with heartache, but still nodded heavily to him and said: "Xiaolong, don't worry, with Brother Tian here, I will never let anything happen to you. If I say we can escape, we will definitely be able to escape."

When he said this, Chen Tian's expression was extremely firm, and after hearing this, a trace of a smile appeared on Xiaolong's pale face. He trusted Chen Tian.

Chen Tian smiled when he saw this, and just as he was about to say something more, suddenly, a sharp eagle cry rang out above their heads!

And hearing this sound, Chen Tian's face suddenly changed drastically, because he recognized it. It was the cry of Ling Yazi's goshawk!
