The Bai Hous behind them were stunned for a moment. They were surprised that Mo Yuan was skilful enough to create a path through the snow blockade.
It was only for a short while before they continued the chase.
"Should I kill them?" Mo Yuan glanced back at the Bai Hous which were catching up. A killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Please don't."
Luo Xiaoman shook her head and said solemnly, "We can't stay here for too long. Ever since the avalanche just now, I can feel that something powerful is coming."
Her mental power was different from ordinary people's. She had an acute sense of danger.
The strong sense of danger lingered in her heart which meant that something strong was coming toward them.
With Mo Yuan's strength, it would not be difficult for him to kill off the Bai Hous.
However, their journey would be delayed if he killed them all.
If there were any further delays, a fatal incident might befall them.
Clomp.
Suddenly, Mo Yuan stomped through the air causing the mountain road below his feet to instantly collapse. Large swaths of snow slipped away like quicksand.
Mo Yuan tapped his toes lightly and leaped up a rock wall next to him. He then grabbed a protruding icicle on the mountain wall.
"Roar!"
The Bai Hous behind them were caught off guard by the sudden landslide. A number of them slid away with the snow.
The rest which were facing Luo Xiaoman and Mo Yuan roared frantically.
"Something's wrong." Luo Xiaoman frowned and glanced around. "This is the only way to the top of the mountain. Many creatures pass through here frequently. Thus, it's impossible for such a large-scale landslide to happen here."
Just then, the Bai Hous suddenly ran away.
Upon seeing this, Luo Xiaoman's heart tightened as she quickly shouted, "Yuan, get out of here."
Before Mo Yuan could even react, a sharp pitch-black thorn shot out from the mountain wall and flew toward Luo Xiaoman.
Mo Yuan's pupils shrank abruptly. There was barely any room for him to dodge the thorn as Luo Xiaoman was in his arms.
He gritted his teeth and turned around without hesitation to fend off the thorn with his back.
Mo Yuan's shoulder was pierced by the thorn which caused him to fall heavily on the ground like a broken kite.
However, even during the fall, he still hugged Luo Xiaoman tightly. He then landed on his back to prevent her from getting hurt.
"Yuan!" Luo Xiaoman exclaimed. She quickly took out Luo Qingyi's pill from the virtual space and fed it to him.
After Mo Yuan took the pill, his wound stopped bleeding immediately.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, a huge figure appeared on the mountain wall.
Luo Xiaoman raised her eyes and could not help trembling. "This is... the Icy Poisonous Scorpion!"
With two huge pincers, a pitch-black body, and a tail spur shining with a cold light, it was the most terrifying level-four monster on Bai Luo Mountain — the Icy Poisonous Scorpion.
Mo Yuan propped up his body and stood in front of Luo Xiaoman with a firm look in his eyes.
He seemed to be saying that one could only hurt her over his dead body.
Just as he was about to move, an icy cold wave radiated through his body causing him to stagger and fall.
"It's the Icy Poison!" Luo Xiaoman then remembered that the Icy Poisonous Scorpion's tail spur contained an extremely potent poison. If one were stung by it, one would feel cold all over and die soon after.
At present, the Icy Poisonous Scorpion did not allow her the time to remove the poison from Mo Yuan.
"Hiss!" The Icy Poisonous Scorpion jumped down from the mountain wall in its bid to crush them like a small mountain.
Mo Yuan gritted his teeth, tugged Luo Xiaoman into his arms, and rolled aside.
Boom!
The Icy Poisonous Scorpion landed heavily on the ground causing a splash in the surrounding snow.
