The raven stared at them coldly and did not move. The red-cloud donkey, on the other hand, ran towards Han Sen and the others and roared at them.
Seeing the red-cloud donkey approach, Xu Dongjin and the others felt relieved. If it had been the raven, they would have been in even more danger.
If they were chased by the red-cloud donkey, they might have had a chance of survival. But if they were to be chased by the raven, there was no chance of survival.
Although Xu Dongjin felt sorry for Chen Ran, who did not want to live? If there was a chance to live, no one wanted to die. So, Xu Dongjin and the others felt relieved.
When the time came, Chen Ran shouted, "Run!"
Then, Chen Ran ran out of the cave at an incredible speed.
Seeing Chen Ran run out of the cave, Xu Dongjin and the others did not hesitate. They all ran as fast as they could.
Queen wanted to run, too, but Han Sen pulled her back. Queen looked at Han Sen with confusion, not understanding why he had stopped running.
It didn't take long for Queen to understand what was going on. The raven had taken flight from the tree, but its target was not Chen Ran. It had taken a long detour and was now heading for the head.
Xu Dongjin and the others ran out of the cave, but the red-cloud donkey came out of nowhere and blocked their path back to the skeleton. They could not turn back, so they had to run as fast as they could.
Queen turned around and looked at Chen Ran. He was already two hundred meters away, but he was still running in a different direction.
"It looks like the raven has chosen to kill more people," Queen said with a frown.
"Bullsh * t," Han Sen said coldly. "We have all been tricked by Chen Ran.
The tail looked more dangerous, but if you look closer, you can see that the tailbone is only a few meters long. It looks broken.
If my guess is correct, this creature's tail is very long. After so many years, the broken tail bone must have been buried under the ground. We cannot see the bone, but the creature can feel it. That is why the raven did not chase after Chen Ran, who was the first to escape. Instead, it chose to chase after us, who was the last to escape. "
Queen was shocked and said, "Then why did he ask Xu Dongjin to come here?"
Speaking up to this point, the Empress herself had completely understood.
Chen Ran was pushing Xu Dongjin to his death. He wanted them to buy him more time so he could escape.
"That * sshole."
Even Queen couldn't help but curse. Chen Ran had tricked them, and now he was tricking his own people. It was crazy. He was willing to do anything to survive.
"But by doing this, he has given us a chance of survival." Han Sen watched Chen Ran leave and coldly laughed.
Queen knew what Han Sen meant, but she did not move..... Xu Dongjin and the others, however, were unable to escape the red-cloud donkey and the raven...
Ten minutes later, they heard four screams. Xu Dongjin and the others were done for.
After the raven and the red-cloud donkey killed Xu Dongjin and the others, they returned. They coldly looked at Han Sen and Queen, and then chased after Chen Ran.
"I will count to one hundred. Then, we will escape from the skull. Life or death, it all depends on this."
Han Sen started counting, and at the same time, he opened his gene lock and used his senses to sense where the raven and the donkey were going.
They were going after Chen Ran, and this made Han Sen feel relieved. He waited for them to get a bit further away, and then he and Queen would escape.
After counting to one hundred, Han Sen could no longer sense the presence of the raven and the donkey. It seemed as if they were far away.
The two of them shot forward like arrows. But not long after that, Han Sen felt a chill run down his spine. He grabbed Queen and said, "Go back!"
Queen looked around, and although she did not see any danger, she trusted Han Sen. So, she retreated back into the skull.
Han Sen was retreating, too. He did not see anything, but his senses told him that there was danger. It was very, very dangerous, and very deadly.
Han Sen tried his best to return to the skeleton, but when he reached the skull, the sense of danger grew stronger. Han Sen's gene lock had been opened to the max, and a sense of danger crept into his heart.
In that moment, Han Sen had a flash of insight. Han Sen did not care, and he jumped forward. He saw a black shadow fly past where he had just been. Blood splattered in the air like a blooming flower.
Han Sen felt as if his back was on fire. He was afraid his bones had been broken. Han Sen did not have time to look at his wounds, though. He rolled and crawled back into the skeleton. Although he was very close, to Han Sen, it was the difference between life and death.
The raven's attack had not killed Han Sen, and it was furious. It flapped its wings and disappeared again. When it appeared again, its wings were like godly weapons, slicing into the flesh of Han Sen's neck.
Han Sen thought to himself, "It's over!"
The raven was too scary, and Han Sen did not even have the chance to dodge.
But at that moment, just as Han Sen's head was about to be cut off, the vines that were wrapped around the skeleton suddenly moved.
Like a poisonous snake, the vines wrapped around the raven that had flown into the skeleton. The raven was strong, but it could not cut the vines open.
Han Sen stood up, terrified. The raven wanted to kill Han Sen so badly that it had run all the way into the skeleton. The vines of the gourd had wrapped around its body, and it was unable to fly away. It couldn't cut off the vines, either.
Han Sen was frozen. No matter how hard he tried to think, he could not believe the gourd vines were so powerful. They were capable of trapping the raven.
Han Sen now understood that the creatures were not afraid of the skeleton. They were afraid of the vines, and that was why they did not dare to get close.
Thinking about how he had picked up the gourd from the vines, Han Sen felt his scalp tingle.
In Han Sen's arms, the vine gourd was beating like a heartbeat again. This time, it was much stronger.
Han Sen took out the vine gourd and held it in his hand. He could still feel the heartbeat inside. This time, Han Sen was sure it was not an illusion. The weak heartbeat inside the gourd was like the weak heart of a fetus. Although it was weak, it had an indescribable vitality.
