Chapter 294: The Demon Trio
The reason why they suffered on this last attack is not just because it is fast. There is another reason and that is the three of them received a signal. As they stood up, Watt, Philip, and Jack all looked towards the woods.
They didn't even bother to check their wounds, the archer and the hammer guy are still vigilant. Although, the trio is injured it is not life-threatening. But when they noticed that they are looking at the woods, they also felt that something was wrong.
Falck flew through the woods extremely fast and crashed before Watt, the beast has many wounds on its body and there are several bite marks on it.
This is the signal Watt received., Even Philip and Jack also received a signal which is the death of their beasts which they are using as mounts.
They left the beasts to roam free so that they wouldn't feel suffocated in the beast pouch, but they didn't expect that they would die like this.
Watt took out some pills and fed Falck while he transferred some spiritual energy through their contract to digest the pills.
After making sure that the beast is not in critical condition, Watt stored it in the beast pouch and looked coldly towards the direction Falck came from.
All of them could hear some beasts running fast towards them and from the aura they are emitting, they are definitely Level-5.
At first, they thought that they are beasts of the forest, but when they revealed themselves, they saw that there are three people riding the three beasts.
The people from the thunderbolt sect were horrified.
"The demon trio." The archer muttered as his face turned pale.
They are none other than Tran, Rid, and Sylvia.
The tiger, elephant, and wolf all three beasts are sniffing at the blood of Falck which was spilled on the ground.
Watt has the coldest expression. He has never been this furious in his entire life. Falck was severely injured and he knows the reason why.
But, right now there is nothing much he can do. The other party is too strong, even if they are on their full power, it is almost impossible to defeat the opponents as the other party has three beasts at Level-5 and the cultivators themselves, one of then being level-2 grand realm and the remaining two being the Level-3 Grand realm.
The battle would be one-sided. Watt, Jack, and Philip are regretting not breaking through earlier. They stayed in the Great realm for training and tempering, but now it seemed that the opponents wouldn't always play fair.
They only have one way to deal with this and that is to flee, but the opponent has blocked their way towards the nearest city and even if it was open, the city is barely on par with the Starwood city. There is no help they can get from there.
Watt immediately took out the Silver Wind, while Jack and Philip took out the methane grenades. The grenades made of Level-6 methane. They threw the grenades and leaped to Watt.
Watt activated silver wind as he caught both of them by their arms and flew away.
He has no confidence in fighting and even the methane blasts are powerful he is not confident that the enemies would be killed by it.
They might be injured, but once it was cracked, then there is no way land the second grenade as they would dodge it immediately.
And even while escaping, Watt kept high vigilance. This is not a harbinger and he is not Sam. He cannot reach a Peak level-5 beast's speed.
He can at most reach an Initial stage Level-5 beast's speed and the beasts behind him are of the same level.
The only advantage he has is the versatility of the hoverboard.
He didn't travel in a straight line. The demon trio has finished off the people from the thunderbolt sect and started chasing after Watt.
They have planned this carefully, When the thunderbolt sect noticed that the trio is moving to the same place, they noticed it as well and prepared this surprise attack.
They didn't want to take any risks at all and wanted to deal with them as easily as they can. So, they let the thunderbolt sect exhaust them and then made their move at the final movement.
But they didn't expect that the trio can still have enough energy to escape.
They didn't worry much though, since they blocked the way to the nearest city, they can only travel to another city through woods and it would take a long time.,
The normal communication tokens wouldn't work as the range would be at most one city.
They cannot get any reinforcements.
At this moment, from an inconspicuous corner of the previous battle-field, a man and a Level-4 beast came out and moved towards the nearest city.
They entered the artisan tower abruptly and started contacting their immediate superior artisan tower through the communication channel and the news soon arrived at Sam's city.
Watt and the rest are flying desperately, they are trying to recover their energy as much as possible.
The space jades which they placed in their mouths are the ones they are using. There are many energy cells that can fit in the mouth inside the space-jade. They used them so that they can last long in the battles when they are fighting people of higher realms.
And since it is extremely easy to draw energy from the energy cell than the normal spirit stones, this works perfectly for them.
But the chase is not just flying and running.
The trio on the board is throwing attacks at the demon trio as the demon trio is also attacking the trio on the board.
But the board's advantage of size and versatility has been displayed to the fullest. Watt can avoid the attacks no matter how many they are and how many directions they come from. But the demon trio doesn't have that advantage, the three beasts are huge and are unable to dodge without straying off of the way.
And when a methane grenade was thrown, they don't have any other chance except for them to halt and hinder themselves.
Watt is moving towards the nearest Marquis city. That is the only place the people at the Grand realm cultivators are present.
He is not extremely worried though, he is confident that if he can maintain this pace, they can definitely escape.
And he has a feeling that they wouldn't need to escape fully. There is a possibility that the hunter and the hunted roles would be reversed.
The chase went on for two days and Watt was almost at his wit's end. He considered every possible thing but ignored one. The energy cells.
The energy cells on the silver wind are about to be exhausted and for changing them, he has to halt for a second. Even though it takes on three seconds there is a high possibility of them being trapped.
And on the third day, morning, when he was in the vicinities of the Marquis city, the energy cells ran out.
The three of them have recovered their energies and wounds are almost injured.
They took out the formation discs Sam gave and activated them.
More than four formations activated and all of them are defense formations.
Watt immediately changed the energy cells of the board. But before they could move again. Three spears one after the other flew towards them hitting the same spot again and again.
The formations shattered and three of them were blown away from the impact.
The three beasts that are chasing them came to halt.
"This cat and mouse game has almost bored me to death. This tool he is using is really efficient. He can evade all of us like this for three days. I wonder what other goodies he has in his storage."
Tran said as he got off of his tiger and walked towards Watt. He is the one who threw the spears. He has waited for a long time to launch this attack and he even prepared, three of them in advance just in case.
"You guys better cooperate and come with us. All we need is something in exchange and I even heard that you guys will be given a chance to join us."
He took out a spear and this time, it is a bit more special than the previous three. It seemed to be his main weapon.
The remaining two didn't bother coming down.
The reason why Watt and others ran away is that there is no chance of defeating them. As for dying with dignity and all, that should be done in a fair fight, not in a sneak attack made by people stronger than them.
In fact, if it was just these three Watt's group would have tried their hand, but the problem is the presence of beasts.
Watt was really nervous and he wanted to activate silver wind again, but Tran's spear was locked at him.
Watt, Philip, and Jack, all three of them closed their eyes. Actually, they are not afraid, because no matter what happens to them, Sam will take revenge, but the whole plan for the training is not to be a burden to him and improve their skills.
They are being used to depending on Sam too much and getting rusty.
As they thought about ways to escape, they sensed something and shook their heads. Wry smiles appeared on their faces.
