Chapter 568: Working Together to Overcome Difficulties

Although Gu Fan and his crew of six ran together, their footsteps, loud and disorderly, couldn't mask the heavy beats of pursuit from behind. They could hear something chasing and closing in on them.

"We need to run faster." Gu Fan pushed himself harder between life and death, increasing his speed somewhat. He was arguably the quickest of the lot, but his lone speed was useless when the others lagged behind.

The rope, tethering Gu Fan to others, restricted his speed.

"Bloody hell, this doesn't look good." Gu Fan knew that they would never outrun whatever was hunting them. The surroundings were all fogged up, providing no sanctuary to hide.

Xu Haowen was stuck at the back, the slowest and weakest of the bunch. He couldn't run any longer. Fear filled his eyes, he could feel something creeping up behind him.

A scream echoed, Xu Haowen felt something grabbed his neck. He was then lifted and dragged backwards.
