Protecting the enemy

The unwanted meeting finally happened. Zao Tian and Gu Ren came within 10 paces of each other.

Neither Gu Ren nor Zao Tian were able to warn the beasts who pursued them both.

"Let's go south!" Zao Tian said.

"Not! If we go there ... we'll take the Dominatrix Demon Beasts to the candidate groups! "Gu Ren said in a tone of concern.

For a brief moment, Zao Tian was somewhat surprised. The worst moment of his life was given to him by a Gu, but ... that Gu Ren was totally different from that Gu Wei. He was not arrogant or hostile, even in a moment of life and death like this ... he still thought about the safety of the other candidates.

The situation they were in was already desperate, but ... it could still get worse.

Suddenly, Zao Tian saw Gu Ren stagger and start to fall. Looking at the current state of Gu Ren's body, Zao Tian had the impression that he had already exhausted his last forces.

Gu Ren's vision slowly darkened as his body hit the ground as if it were a piece of a wooden plank that was dropped without support.

Although slightly reluctant, Zao Tian quickly picked up Gu Ren's body before it touched the ground.

Behind Gu Ren the image of a huge green gorilla, 5 feet high, which had its tusks exposed and ran wildly emerged.

Zao Tian was already seeing the 'Emerald Gorilla' in front of him. The 'Burning Red Bear' was also approaching madly.

The 'Sizzling Red Bear' jumped toward Zao Tian With his front paws open, it seemed like he was going to give his a very nice hug.

The 'Emerald Gorilla' jumped the same way, but the position of his arms gave the impression that he tried to grab Zao Tian with his hands.

Zao Tian had no more how to run away since he was carrying Gu Ren. He then had a bold idea that might help them gain a little more time.

Zao Tian stood motionless as the two Dominating Demon Beasts invested against him. His face was slightly calm and it seemed as if he was timing every second.

* Swoosh *

Thousands of seconds before entering the range of the two beasts, Zao Tian took a low leap, passing under the 'Sizzling Red Bear'.

After passing beneath the back legs of the 'Burning Red Bear', Zao Tian breathed a little relief at having escaped those two attacks that would probably take his life instantly. However, Zao Tian was intrigued by one thing as he passed under the 'Sizzling Red Bear', the beast did not even look at him again. It was as if the 'Burning Red Bear' had shifted the focus of his attack.

* Boooommm ... *

The 'Burning Red Bear' and the 'Emerald Gorilla' collided causing a massive explosion of energy. The gale caused by that shock brought Zao Tian by a short distance.

Zao Tian began to run in the opposite direction of the two beasts, without looking back. However ... The beasts no longer followed Zao Tian and Gu Ren, instead, an intense battle between the 'Burning Red Bear' and the 'Emerald Gorilla' began. The sounds of battle between the two could be heard from a great distance.

"After all ... Am I lucky or am I an unlucky one?" Zao Tian swore to the heavens.

"Things are getting worse and worse by my side ... in an hour, it seems that I am the most unlucky guy in the world ... there after ... I have a good luck with the hells and I get out alive. Damn! Do you have fun with my misery? "Zao Tian cursed and cursed the heavens and the gods unceasingly.

While in between those two beasts, Zao Tian had not yet thought of it, but ... the only things that the 'Burning Red Bears' and the 'Emerald Gorillas' hated more than humans ... were to each other. The moment they met, they immediately took their lights out of Zao Tian and Gu Ren and turned to each other.

After screaming and swearing heavily, Zao Tian turned and headed south toward the exit of the 'Dark Forest'. He would not leave the 'Dark Forest', but he needed to find a safer place for Gu Ren who was still unconscious.

------

After a long walk, Zao Tian finally found a safe place. This place was about 5 kilometers from the entrance to the 'Dark Forest' and the Spiritual Demon Beasts very rarely appeared, as well as the groups of candidates. Most of the Spiritual Demonic Beasts who lived there had already been hunted, the rest fled to other places.

In the same way, the groups of candidates began to venture a little further into the 'Dark Forest' to hunt down the fujonas beasts.

It was still almost a whole day to the end of the test. Zao Tian was on guard at that moment, ready to defend the unconscious Gu Ren in case some beast or some group of candidates resolved to attack him.

(I.e.

Night fell and no sign of movement was sighted near Zao Tian. Even so, he did not lower his guard and was prepared to stay that way all night.

Slowly, Gu Ren opened his eyes. In his blurred vision was Zao Tian, ​​standing in front of him. After his vision cleared and his reasoning returned, Gu Ren realized that somehow they had fled from the Dominating Demon Beasts, he also realized that that boy was protecting him during the time he remained unconscious

"Urghh ... Dude ... what happened after I fainted? And also ... were you protecting me all this time? "Gu Ren moaned in pain and asked as he tried to get up.

Seeing that Gu Ren had woken up, Zao Tian was sincerely happy. He had already given up keeping some rancor of the White Tiger family after meeting this Gu Ren.

"After you passed out ... I was able to catch him and run away with you from that spot. As for those two Dominating Demon Beasts ... Fortunately they were natural enemies of each other. After meeting ... they no longer cared for us and started fighting each other. "Zao Tian explained as he supported Gu Ren, who was trying to get up.

"I see ... So it turned out that we were lucky to find ourselves in such a situation." Gu Ren answered with a little difficulty.

"Yes ... After the 'Emerald Gorilla' and the 'Burning Red Bear' started to fight ... I came here and found this place, calm, so you could recover a little ..." Zao Tian replied.

"Thank you! Anyone else ... in a situation like that ... would be saved without worrying about others. From today ... I owe you my life. My Brother! "Gu Ren thanked him with a deep sincerity and gratitude in his voice.

"Do not worry about it. Just rest and recover properly. Tomorrow afternoon we'll get out of here! "Zao Tian replied.

"Urghhh ... hahahaha ... hahaha ..." Gu Ren laughed as he coughed and moaned.

"Um ... why are you laughing like that?" Zao Tian asked in surprise.

"Just my naivete anyway. I had already collected enough spiritual cores, but I naively decided to venture out and confront a Dominating Demon Beast ... I was beaten up like a punching bag ... when I tried to run away ... I had already been seriously injured. Even the spiritual nuclei that I had achieved were lost, in my state I will not get any more ... I will be disapproved. Hahahahaha ... "Gu Ren explained.

It was ironic that the most prominent candidate to disciple that test, would be eliminated because of his naivety.
