Qin Yuanfeng pressed flat against the broad back of Ink Qilin, his gaze burning like a torch. As he felt the humanoid beings falling one after another behind him, his heart felt as though it were being twisted by a knife. Though these creatures possessed appearances vastly different from humans, their loyalty and bravery filled Qin Yuanfeng with deep respect. To protect the formations of Shennongjia, they had remained trapped in this place for their entire lives, and now, to protect him, they did not hesitate to pay with their lives. This deep debt of gratitude, Qin Yuanfeng engraved forever in his heart.
"Ink Qilin, fly toward the exit of the Blood Fiend Abyss!" Qin Yuanfeng roared. He knew deeply that he must return to the surface as quickly as possible if he was to have any chance of escape; otherwise, the sacrifice of these humanoid creatures who were buying him time would be entirely in vain.
Ink Qilin's four hooves generated wind, carrying Qin Yuanfeng like a black lightning bolt as it galloped at top speed toward the exit of the Blood Fiend Abyss. The Golden Giant Ape leaped a few times behind them, following closely. Along the way, Qin Yuanfeng watched the bursts of spiritual power erupting behind him—the lingering echoes of the humanoid creatures fighting to the death against Yongye. The vanishing of each ray of light felt like a heavy hammer smashing against his heart.
