Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 74: Chaos (2)

Chapter 74: Chaos (2)

Splas.h.!.+

Lin Xiao was stunned when he reached the surface. He didn't pay much attention because he was thinking about the earthquake just now. However, when he reached the surface, he noticed that it was raining so badly.

"Since when did it rain?"

Not only raining, the sky was thoroughly dark as if it was already night time. Looking at the sky, Lin Xiao was doubtful. Did he truly stay in that place for hours? He was pretty sure when he left just now, it was still early.

At this time, Lin Xiao also noticed that the water volume was increasing rapidly. His eyes widened as he quickly swam to the sh.o.r.e.

Splas.h.!.+ Splas.h.!.+

Roar!

The faint sound of beasts roaring could be heard from a distance away. Lin Xiao's lips twitched as he looked at the cloud. It was covering a vast area, but if he was not wrong… the center should be the lake.

'AAAAAaa, I need to run!'

Not caring for anything else, Lin Xiao hurriedly rushed into the forest. He tried his best to step on the rocks or the roots so that he would not leave marking on the grounds. If the water didn't wash his mark fast enough, they might figure out that he was just here not long ago.

Lin Xiao pa.s.sed by a tree as he just recalled something. If he was not wrong, Elder Xu's corpse should have been there, right? But there was nothing at all.

He paused for a moment and looked at the tree. If not for the dent and marking on the tree, he would have doubted that the fight with Elder Xu truly happened. But the corpse had disappeared.

'There's no way he's still alive with that kind of wound.'

From what he knew, there was no way that Elder Xu could have powerful life saving skill. Besides, being at Body Training stage, the chance of successfully mastering such powerful skill was incredibly low.

They were not monster.

'Forget it, I better run.'

Lin Xiao chose not to care and rushed over in the direction of the village. From a distance away, he could hear the sound of fighting and from the screams, he faintly noticed woman's voice.

It was so loud.

"Make way you d.a.m.n beast!"

"!!!" she's on this way!

Lin Xiao quickly switched his direction and tried to evade the area where the woman was going. He might have already advanced to Body Training Rank 7, but fighting against Foundation Establishment was the same as suicide.

He didn't want to die yet!

Bang!

The violent sound of fighting entered his ears. Lin Xiao truly wanted to get away but for some reason, the sound instead grew nearer no matter which direction Lin Xiao tried to go.

"MAKE WAY!"

Bam!

Like a gorilla, the woman appeared from behind the bush and slammed both of her hand to the ground. Lin Xiao swiftly initiated Moon Evasion and moved to the side, still shocked by the sudden attack.

'Did she…'

"Peh," The woman spat out. She looked at Lin Xiao with greed and murderous intent. "Where do you think you're going, Brat?"

"I'm going back to the village!" Lin Xiao replied.

"Going back? Do you think you can leave just like that after taking what's mine?"

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He was wondering whether this woman had realized that he took the Emperor Inheritance or not. If she knew, then he had to kill her no matter what the cost.

He might be still young, but he understood the principle of harboring treasure without ability to protect it. if he tried to flaunt his treasure at this point of time, what awaited him would only be his doom without any exception.

"Yours?" Lin Xiao asked.

The woman snorted. "Don't act dumb. You're covered in b.u.t.terfly Gra.s.s Powder. I spread it around the lake yesterday so whoever come will be covered in the special smell that only I can detect."

Lin Xiao's heart dropped.

He had never thought that there was actually a trap that the woman prepared near the lake. As he was not that proficient in medicine, he only thought that there were some medicine plants nearby. How could he know that it was actually recipe for a tracking method?

"Don't try to run," The woman said coldly. "Everyone is coming here. You won't be able to get away, you Brat!"

With grave expression, Lin Xiao watched the woman before him. Just from the attack just now, he knew that she was faster than him, stronger than him, and more experienced than him…

How could he beat her?

'What should I do?'
