Upon witnessing the scene ahead, Xiao Yuwei turned as pale as a ghost.

“Damn it, out of the frying pan into the fire, how did we end up here all of a sudden?” A tremor was evident in Xiao Yuwei’s voice.

Jiang Xiaobai naturally noticed this subtle detail, causing him to furrow his eyebrows.

“What do you mean? What’s going on here?”

“This place is known as the Cemetery of Death, those blue things, they are peculiar plants. They may look like small grasses but they are extremely poisonous!”

“Besides, this area is teeming with poisonous insects. Every step needs to be taken with utmost caution, any misstep might lead to a fatal consequence.”

“What?”

AnRan was shocked. Oh dear, this time they’d really stepped in it.

Things had escalated.

At this moment, they were in a real predicament – with enemies behind them and obstructions ahead.

Although Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan did not know what type of poisonous insects lurked in the blue grass field ahead, they were certain that it was trouble.

Just as he was mentally strategizing on their next move, a painful scream resounded from ahead.

Jiang Xiaobai then witnessed a hair-raising scene.

A man, after being bitten by something unknown, writhed in pain on the ground. Then, countless blue glowing things emerged from the surrounding grass.

In an instant, they engulfed the man.

His screams, the gnashing sounds of being torn apart, echoed, making one’s scalp tingle.

Upon witnessing this scene, almost everyone instinctively wanted to halt their steps.

Roar!

From behind them, the angry roars of the rabid dogs rang out, leaving no room for hesitation. Everyone had to muster their courage and charge forward.

“Boss, what do we do now!”

AnRan was calling out in fright, her legs almost gave out from fear, she dared not move forward.

Jiang Xiaobai’s heart was in his throat. It was as if there was no way out of this deadly predicament.

He could have used his ability to burrow underground to escape, but others couldn’t, and neither could AnRan.

He couldn’t just abandon AnRan and escape on his own, could he?

“There must be a way!”

Jiang Xiaobai mentally reassured himself. Just as they were about to rush into the bluish field of grass, a spark of inspiration flashed across his mind.

“Li, slow down!”

“Xiao Yuwei, gather some people and grab some of those mad dogs from behind!”

Jiang Xiaobai immediately roared the orders.

Upon hearing him, Xiao Yuwei was stunned initially but her eyes sparkled with determination soon after.

She cast a glance at Haolao, a man with considerable powers. Haolao nodded in agreement and turned around to rush towards the rabid dogs infestation.

Despite the numerous mad dogs pursuing them from behind, a warrior as strong as Haolao could rush in, catch a few mad dogs and make it out, injured but alive.

Just as expected, Haolao burst into the crowd of mad dogs, he managed to grab two of them and quickly got out, although he sustained dreadful wounds.

Despite Haolao’s formidable strength, the sheer quantity of mad dogs had tired him significantly.

“Throw them over there!” Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai, without a second thought about Haolao’s injuries, ordered him to do so.

Bang! Bang!

The two mad dog corpses landed in the grass field, and the countless swarming blue poisonous insects covered them up in an instant.

Their feeding speed was incredibly quick. By the time Jiang Xiaobai and gang reached the spot, the bodies of the mad dogs had almost been stripped clean.

“Burst!”

Jiang Xiaobai let out a thunderous roar, the power of which sent the scattered insects around him flying, then he dashed through the grass field without slowing down.

At first glance, the blue grass field appeared expansive. However, once they were actually sprinting through, Jiang Xiaobai felt like it served as a barrier, like a line of demarcation.

They were able to run across it in the space of a few breaths. But had it not been for the two mad dog corpses attracting all the poisonous insects, they wouldn’t have been able to survive the initial wave of insects.

Thankfully, they managed to cross it safely.

Seeing this strategy worked, the others followed suit. Their combined efforts yielded dozens of mad dogs. They lined up the dead bodies of these mad dogs, providing a safe path through the grass field.

Generally speaking, larger forces would be able to cross this terrain with minimal casualties due to their sheer numbers and combined strength.

However, it was a different story for the individual cultivators. Even if they travelled in groups, they only had three to four, or at most, seven to eight members. Catching a mad dog with their power and numbers was virtually impossible.

Ultimately, they had no choice but to risk their lives and dash through. The result, as expected, was that most either died or were injured. Very few managed to make it past the demarcation line unscathed.

Those who did were either incredibly lucky or favored by the Gods.

Many, being too fearful to proceed, were torn apart and devoured on the spot by the approaching mob of rabid dogs.

Upon their arrival, the horde of mad dogs had no regard for the field’s hazardous condition, the number of poisonous insects or the level of danger— they just charged forward.

Charge!

Like a tidal wave, the swarm of rabid dogs stormed in, causing the ground to quake, leaving destruction in their wake.

Although the poisonous insects were numerous, they couldn’t withstand the onrush of such a massive mob of rabid dogs. However, they did manage to inflict some damage to the mad dog horde and bought some time.

Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes nearly popped out of his sockets upon seeing this.

Are they kidding? Why have these mad dogs lost all sense of propriety? They’re still pursuing us in such dreadful conditions?

“What the hell have you done!”

Xiao Yuwei couldn’t hold her anger back anymore and vented it on Jiang Xiaobai.

Naturally, Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t going to elaborate on what he had done. He merely told her that he had tried to save those who were captured alive.

“A bleeding heart like yours? You’re such an idiot! Do you have any idea how many people you indirectly killed with your actions?”

Xiao Yuwei was yelling, and although terrified, she kept moving.

Jiang Xiaobai just shrugged his shoulders – why should he care about them?

Honestly, if those individuals had made it to the Mad Demon Secret Land, most of them would be his enemies. And why should he show mercy towards his enemies?

If he had known about the conditions of the path ahead, he would have left Xiao Yuwei long ago.

Fortunately, he had been far-sighted. Otherwise, had he carelessly walked into the boundary line back there, he wouldn’t have known about the impending dangers and undoubtedly would have faced certain death.

“We’re almost there! Up ahead is a stone forest, it will greatly impede the pursuit of those mad dogs!”

Pointing to the boundless darkness ahead, Xiao Yuwei shouted. Their steps quickened immediately.

Finally, they successfully reached the stone forest without incident. As more and more people ran into the forest, they found that the pursuit of the mad dogs had slowed down considerably.

Everyone heaved a collective sigh of relief.

But this time, they didn’t dare to pause for rest anymore. What damned resources, what damned opportunities, are they worth more than their lives?

All they wanted now was to rush into the safety of the Mad Demon Secret Land as fast as they could.
