Chapter 24: Thieving heart but not courage
  "What can't you remember?"

Before Ning Yue could ask clearly, the mad lion suddenly roared like thunder, seeming to roar through the sky and shake the mountains and rivers!

The blood-chasing lion at the Nascent Soul level was no ordinary lion. Just one roar made Ning Yue and Luo Yun want to vomit blood. Their internal organs were tumbling, and the ground under their feet was shaking.

The unique coercion of the Nascent Soul level rushed towards her face. Ning Yue felt quite uncomfortable. She stretched out her hand to trigger the mechanism and released the spiritual arrow again.

However, to her disappointment, the spirit arrow landed on the blood-chasing lion, as if it had hit an iron wall, with very little force, as if it was just tickling it.

But Ning Yue's move completely angered the blood-chasing lion. It smelled the smell of blood and was so excited that it couldn't control itself. Ning Yue gave it the accurate location again.

It is accumulating strength, and its thick and powerful front legs are kicking on the ground like drumsticks!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ning Yue grabbed Luo Yun's right arm and ran away.

"Run! We can't fight!"

In the face of danger, Ning Yue has always been very self-aware, and she will never succeed when she shouldn't.

It's a pity that her cultivation has been suppressed now. She can neither fly nor use a sword. It is too frustrating to just run away.

Ning Yue started a fire with her fingertips, trying to burn the big tree and use the tree to stop the blood-chasing lion.

However, her early stage of Qi refining could only brew a small flame, and her fire was extinguished by the wind before it even had time to burn the tree trunk.

Ning Yue felt so aggrieved.

Luo Yan also saw her passivity, so he grabbed her arm and led her to run. Luo Yan was obviously quite good at escaping. He turned left and right and ran in an extremely complicated route. Ning Yue couldn't help but I don’t know if the blood-chasing lion was stunned, but she was anyway.

There are some differences between her cultivation during the Qi refining stage and her foundation building. If she could still use flight or sword control, she wouldn't be in such a miserable situation and run with all her life.

Fortunately, with some magic blessing, they can run much faster than mortals without spiritual power, but they still consume physical strength.

After finally running far away, a rolling waterfall suddenly came into view in front of them. The two of them had to lean against a boulder to catch their breath.

Next to Ning Yue, Luo Yan squatted down, covering his left arm. His chest was heaving, his face was extremely pale, and his sleeves were stained red.

"Luo Yan, your hands!"

It seemed that he had run too fiercely just now, and the wound on his arm had opened up more seriously. Although he didn't groan, Ning Yue could tell that he was almost exhausted from the pain, otherwise she wouldn't have slid down and leaned against the stone.

Ning Yue couldn't see his wound, and she didn't have the conditions to treat him here. She remembered that she still had the Qi and Blood Pill that Wan Wan gave her, and quickly took it out.

She poured it into the palm of her hand and there was only the last one left. She immediately put the Qi and Blood Pill to Luo Yan's mouth.

"Luo Yan, take the Qi and Blood Pill quickly."

Luo Yan didn't answer. Ning Yue was surprised. At this time, he was still being pretentious.

"You want to bleed to death here? If you do this again, I will have no choice but to call the dean."

Ning Yue looks for the wooden sign on her body, and of course she has to seek help from the sidelines when she encounters a danger that cannot be solved.

However, she searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

Luo Yan raised his eyes with a cold expression, "My wooden sign is also missing. Daniel comes from the Shadow Sect, and his best skill is the ghost hand tracking."

Although the Phantom Sect is a small sect, their best skill in ghost shadowing is world-famous.

To put it nicely, it is called the art of ghosting, but to put it badly, it is the most famous thief in the world...

Damn it, Luo Tianchuan actually dared to lead his little brother to act like a monster right under her nose.

"You take the elixir first, and I'll think of a solution later."

Luo Yan stretched out his right hand to take the Qi and Blood Pill and stuffed it into his mouth. There was no water here, so he could only swallow it directly.

After taking the Qi and Blood Pill, Luo Yan meditated on the spot again and adjusted his breath for a while.

His arm had temporarily stopped bleeding, but he still looked tired.

"We are still far from the exit. The three hours are almost here. I'm afraid this assessment will fail."

"Actually, the blood-chasing lion is coming for me. It's still too late for you to run to the exit now."

"I won't abandon you." Luo Yan raised his head in surprise, his eyes cold and confused.

"If you were killed by a lion with you like this, I would also be responsible."

"You can go out and tell the elders."

"Of course you can, but if you are not fast enough and you are caught up by the blood-chasing lion, I will be the culprit."

The corner of Luo Yan's mouth curled up slightly in a mocking tone. He won't die, at least not so easily, but Ning Yue doesn't know anything.

Ning Yue didn't know what Luo Yan was thinking, but she had a hunch that if she really left him and ran away as Luo Yan said, even if she went to move rescue troops, his blackening value would rise sharply.

With the tip of Ning Yue's ears, she heard the sound of a fierce lion digging into the earth again. It moved quickly and violently, and the shock was obvious when it ran.

She squatted down and felt the soil for a while, and sure enough she felt the earth tremble.

"No, it's catching up! The map shows that there is a cave in this waterfall. Let's go in and take shelter first!"

The huge body of the blood-chasing lion could already be seen in the shadow of the trees not far away. It was chasing after them at a speed they could not imagine. Ning Yue immediately grabbed Luo Yan's sleeve and led him to jump into the air!

Ning Yue pressed the mechanism, and the Qian Qiong Crossbow immediately turned into a shield as she wished, and it was used as an umbrella when crossing the waterfall, but Luo Yan's Qian Qiong Crossbow fell off while they were running.

The two people passed through the water curtain and almost hit the stone wall. Ning Yue held up her hand and gave the two people a buffer.

Within the water curtain is a cave island. Although the space is not large, it is a quiet treasure place, at least it is suitable for avoiding the pursuit of lions.

Ning Yue had a shield as an umbrella, so she didn't get wet naturally, but Luo Yan was soaked.

He looked extremely tired. He leaned against the stone wall and panted lightly. The water droplets on his head flowed down his handsome and smooth side face. He was handsome and cold. The crystal water droplets covered his raised Adam's apple and slid into his collar.

"Luo Yan."

Ning Yue called his name, and he opened his eyes, his crystal black pupils were deep and cold.

"We might have to stay here for a while before going out."

He also realized that he was soaked, so he moved to the corner again, and even sat on the ground a little dejectedly.

Ning Yue walked towards him, squatted down and looked at him.

She lit a cluster of flames with her fingertips. She was born with two spiritual roots of water and fire. It was not difficult to ignite fire and summon water, but the Qi Refining Level could only light such a small cluster of fire...

"I'll bake it for you, maybe it'll be dry in a while."

He didn't reject Ning Yue and took it as a promise. Ning Yue squatted in front of him to draw fire. He closed his eyes and his breathing became even.

Ning Yue didn't know if he was asleep, but when she looked at him like this, Luo Yan was different from what she had imagined, at least different from the cruel and cruel demon described in the original work.

  "Okay, let's go."

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

Ning Yue stood by the water curtain. The moon was already rising outside, and the stars were falling at night. It was really time to go.

The two of them started to formally walk towards the exit. They were silent all the way.

However, when they were about to reach the exit, Ning Yue never expected that Luo Tianchuan and Daniu would run towards them, shouting: "Help! Help!"

They both looked miserable, and Daniel was even covered in blood.

Ning Yue had no sympathy for them at all, "Why are you running away! Aren't you trying to frame me and Luo Yan?"

Luo Tianchuan ran to Ning Yue and stopped in front of him. He could hardly breathe.

"I...I'm still...not afraid that you are going to die!"

"Didn't you release the blood-chasing lion on purpose?"

"How can I do that? We just don't want to remind you that there is danger in that direction..."

Oh, it turned out that I wanted to frame them, but I had the heart but not the courage.
