144: Empty at both ends

Hearing Jin Hua's cautious words, Gutou sneered, immediately throwing the million zhen crystal from the back of his Bone Beast towards Jin Hua and said,

"Alright, where is it? Don't worry, I won't double-cross you, and I'll even give you important positions."

As soon as he said this, Jin Hua immediately showed a look of someone who had never seen the world, nodding vigorously while saying, "Please wait a few minutes, you will always be my most respected superior, please rest assured."

As he spoke, Jin Hua hoisted the million zhen crystal and immediately ran into the distance.

Gutou did not stop Jin Hua's actions, after all, his strength at the late thirteenth stage was enough to deal with the backstabbing of Jin Hua and others, so he was not afraid.

More than ten minutes later, when Jin Hua rushed back, Hong Zong followed closely behind.

On Hong Zong's own horse's back, a Blood Dragon was already on its last breath, seemingly about to die in the next second.

Seeing this scene, Gutou suddenly flew up from the back of his Bone Beast and rapidly approached Hong Zong.

And when Jin Hua saw this scene, after turning his head and giving Hong Zong a look, he also erupted with energy and charged towards Gutou's Bone Beast.

Because that Bone Wolf was carrying a huge amount of flesh and blood resources on its back, Jin Hua had to get his hands on it.

On Hong Zong's side, upon noticing that Gutou had already locked onto his aura and revealed a murderous look, Hong Zong threw down the Blood Dragon and turned to run.

Yes, Gutou did not intend to let Qingyang and the others go; the other party was indeed double-crossing him.

At this moment, after instantly approaching the Blood Dragon, Gutou immediately stopped, examined the Blood Dragon, and upon discovering that it was indeed a Reverse Warrior, he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face and muttered to himself,

"Very good, little fellow, you are so severely injured, I reckon you won't be able to escape. I'll go hunt some resources for you."

As he spoke, Gutou had already risen again and chased after Hong Zong.

On Jin Hua's side, when this early thirteenth stage Bone Wolf noticed Jin Hua's figure, the opponent immediately charged towards Jin Hua instead of retreating.

But just as Gutou had completely disappeared, behind the Bone Wolf, a dark purple Bone Dragon suddenly rushed out from the yellow sand.

"Kill!"

Qingyang's command was like a signal; Jin Sheng and the others around him emerged from the yellow sand and charged towards the Bone Wolf.

Although the thirteenth stage Bone Wolf was powerful, facing Jin Hua, who was also at the thirteenth stage, and Qingyang, Jin Sheng, and the others, whose strength at the twelfth stage was comparable to Reverse Warriors, they couldn't withstand the combined assault and began to retreat steadily.

Further away, the Blood Dragon, which had originally appeared to be on its last breath, immediately got up after hearing Qingyang's words, full of vigor and not showing any signs of being close to death.

"I'm taking off first, Qing Yang."

With a casual greeting, the Blood Dragon bolted, disappearing into the vast yellow sand of the Flowing Land in just a few breaths.

As for Qingyang's side, under the rapid assault, the Bone Wolf only lasted a few minutes before collapsing with a crash.

"Swish~"

Jin Sheng immediately jumped onto the Bone Wolf and casually opened the huge bag on its back, saying somewhat angrily,

"It's not flesh and blood, it's a pile of rotten bones."

Hearing Jin Sheng's report, Qingyang was not surprised.

"I guessed it, but the flesh and blood of this thirteenth stage Bone Wolf is enough. Pink Spirit, carry it, let's retreat."

While Qingyang and the others completed their task and quickly retreated, Hong Zong encountered great trouble.

According to Qingyang's plan at the time, Hong Zong, as a speed-type Divine Beast, needed to run twenty thousand li away first.

Twenty thousand li, at Hong Zong's speed, wouldn't even take five minutes.

Once twenty thousand li away, Hong Zong would directly meet up with Bai Rou Rou, and the two Divine Beasts would retreat together.

With Bai Rou Rou as a mascot, although she had no combat power, it was thought that with Gutou's strength, dealing with Bai Rou Rou would still require some effort.

But the problem now was that Qingyang had underestimated the speed of a late thirteenth stage expert.

At the very front, Hong Zong's entire body created afterimages due to his excessive speed, and he said as he ran, "Five thousand li, four thousand li, three thousand li, faster, dead legs, run faster."

But no matter how anxious Hong Zong was, Gutou's figure behind him was getting closer and closer.

"You can't escape. When you first appeared, I wanted to kill you directly. You can't escape, my reserve resource."

Hearing Gutou's voice, which was already less than three thousand meters away, fine sweat appeared on Hong Zong's entire red and white fur.

"Boom~"

At a certain moment, when Gutou attacked fiercely, throwing a large seal directly at Hong Zong, Hong Zong couldn't dodge at all and was immediately smashed flying into the distance.

"Puff~"

Hong Zong's body, which was a hundred meters in size, with a streamlined body like a Pegasus, vomited blood after being struck by Gutou's weapon, yet he still scrambled up and continued to flee forward.

"You bastard, you're even using a large seal weapon, isn't a brick more fragrant?"

The heavily injured Hong Zong continued to speak rudely while running away.

Just as Hong Zong dragged his heavily injured body for another few thousand li, Gutou, who had originally prepared to kill Hong Zong completely this time, suddenly noticed a White Pig in the distance.

And when Bai Rou Rou noticed Gutou's figure, she didn't retreat but advanced, actually running directly towards him.

"Good, good, good, buy one get one free, two Fierce Beasts, it seems I've really hit the jackpot this time," Gutou said excitedly.

However, the moment Bai Rou Rou and Hong Zong just met up, for some reason, Gutou's advancing figure suddenly felt a chill.

This inexplicable chill made Gutou's body involuntarily pause and stop.

As an expert who had fought in the Inner Realm for thousands of years, Gutou had always trusted his intuition.

"Could it be that they can still pose some danger to me?"

At this moment, Gutou, who had originally held a cat-and-mouse attitude, immediately became fully alert and cautiously chased after Bai Rou Rou and Hong Zong again.

Bei Guan City.

As an important city in the North Faction of the Inner Realm, the official organization here had strict hierarchical levels.

On this day, Jin Hua, dragging his exhausted and injured body, quickly flew into Bei Guan City.

As an Order Keeper Captain who had been promoted to the thirteenth stage, Jin Hua could have continued to rise in rank here.

But due to the hurried breakthrough, Jin Hua still held the position of a small captain and could only meet with superiors like Gutou.

In an ancient courtyard with some gray plants, Jin Hua, with a pale face, was loudly complaining.

"Senior Kong Yun, I know you are at odds with Gutou, that's why I came to you. He not only coveted the flesh and blood of our brothers' battle pet partners,

but also heavily injured us and is now chasing our partners in the Flowing Land. Please save us."
