"This Niu Family Bay, I'm afraid I can't return for a while..."
Even though Hu Ma had miraculously escaped with his life, his heart was still pounding, his mind unable to settle down. He deeply felt the power of the Hu clan's Zhen Sui method, yet also realized the dangers within it. The thing in the river must now utterly despise him. Though he narrowly escaped with his life, he wasn't sure if he would remain safe if he encountered it again.
As he contemplated this, his feet dared not stop.
They ran for four or five miles straight until the surrounding area was bathed in bright sunlight, warming their faces. There were no sounds of ghostly wailing, nor any sign of pursuit by the Green Clothes Gang. Only then did Hu Ma and the others slightly slow their pace and exchange glances.
They all saw each other's disheveled appearances. Hu Ma hadn't properly greeted Yang Gong since they had rushed here. Now, with words on the tip of his tongue, he momentarily didn't know what to say.
