Chapter: 658

“Don't touch the mushrooms” he added, just in case the young-minded skeletons had not learnt about the dangerous fruits.

After all, their minds were formed after Jay discovered the carnivorous side of the seemingly placid mushrooms. They had not witnessed the glade deer being torn apart.

Jay handed the other skeletons their weapons once last time as the beast approached.

Gathering his bone pile, the extra daggers and spears he created, he was ready to leave.

The blood-vine bear was closing in, and once more it clashed with the skeletons, but finally its spotted its meal and for a moment ignored the undead horrors around it as it stared at him.

While it could have simply ignored the skeletons and charged right after Jay, it decided to finish the off first, not willing to experience what it did the previous time when its back was turned.

Somehow it knew this was the being which caused it pain, and an angry roar sounded, shifting rocks and sand as it stared into Jay's eyes - the source of the skeletons.

Chapter 214 Do Not Slow Down

The mountains echoed as the beast roared when it saw its meal, trying to scare Jay into submission.

The beast still had over one thousand health, and Jay definitely didn't have the damage to stop it, neither did he have the mana to sustain his skeletons - especially when each of them were dying in one to two hits.

Jay had no doubts that his fate would be the same as Lamp's - encased helplessly in vines as they drained all his blood before twisting the remains of his body into a paste, wringing out every drop of the blood as if he were a damp cloth.

Fighting a level twenty-seven beast was just too far beyond his skill level.

Perhaps if it didn't know exactly where he was and had no health regeneration there would be a way to hide somewhere and send his skeletons in over a few days, whittling it down slowly, but right now the only option was to flee. There was no escaping its blood scent.

Jay could only hope that the beast wouldn't follow him across the desert, which would at the very least give him more time.

Perhaps in the forest he would be able to find a dungeon and take refuge inside one, but even then, the beast would still be somewhere outside, lurking for prey and waiting.

With the three-thousand metre range of its blood scent ability, there was also not much chance of escaping its maws.

Jay could only hope that once he crossed the desert, there would be another glade deer which the beast would chase instead.

Sure, it would have to travel around the desert again, but that would only prolong the inevitable as it resumed the hunt.

What mattered right now though was what was in front of him: the beast, which was already decimating his skeletons.

With no other options, Jay dashed from behind the boulder and ran straight towards the mushroom desert.

The beast almost seemed to be shocked as its second meal was about to run into the embrace of the carnivorous mushrooms again.

It released another frustrated roar, shaking pebbles and shifting the grains of sand, but this time it had undertones of sadness and alarm; ironically it was like it was trying to warn Jay, just so that it would be the one to kill him.

Jay ignored it completely. Its fearful roars still had no effect on him whatsoever.

Getting to the edge of the desert he didn't hesitate as he jumped right onto the sand and began weaving between the hazardous mushrooms.
