The stragglers ignored the cheering crowd and rode the wind towards where Lin Jiu'an was.
Before he even reached the destination, he saw a large number of panicked people surging down the street toward the Jingshan Palace and the Jiaoling Academy.
People who were slow to run were pushed to the ground from time to time, and countless feet trampled on them, with cries and wails filling the air.
"Lord Ah Mao, please save us!"
"That demon has gone mad! He's gone mad!"
They spotted the skirmishers flying through the air and cried out to him for help.
The stragglers' faces were grim, and they cursed inwardly, "A bunch of useless trash."
The next moment, he felt an extremely terrifying presence lock onto him. When he turned around, the skirmisher was terrified.
He saw Lin Jiu'an.
The other person was grabbing someone's head, which had been crushed.
Standing a few streets away, he strolled leisurely toward the fleeing crowd.
Covered in blood, he looked like a demon straight out of hell.
At that moment, he was looking up at him, who was floating in the air, and he smiled at him, revealing his white teeth.
will die!
In an instant, alarm bells rang in the hearts of the stragglers.
They didn't even have time to think about how Lin Jiu'an ended up like this after being captured by the "Doctor" and subjected to experiments for a few days.
Without even thinking about it.
It maximizes the activation of the wind element.
It then flew madly out of the city in the opposite direction.
The people below watched helplessly as their hopes for the stragglers turned to terror at the mere sight of Lin Jiu'an, and they turned and abandoned them without hesitation, flying out of the city.
In an instant, hope turned into despair.
"Do not!!!"
"Coward! You damned coward!"
"We supported you so much! Now all of this is thanks to you! You can't leave! You can't escape!"
Previously, they had been so supportive of the stragglers, and their words of abuse against Lin Jiu'an were so offensive.
The insults they're using against the stragglers are getting worse.
Lin Jiu'an didn't rush to chase after the stragglers, and leisurely walked towards the desperate crowd.
"I surrender! I surrender!"
"We know we were wrong! We know we were wrong! We'll listen to you from now on!"
"We were all deceived by that despicable Sanbing! We are all innocent! We were forced into this! Please forgive us! It's all Sanbing's fault!"
The crowd that heard the footsteps saw Lin Jiu'an approaching.
They all knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
Lin Jiu'an did not answer. He walked up to the people closest to him and said with a smile, "Don't be so anxious and desperate."
"It's also possible that he just went back to get reinforcements."
"You must have more hope for your heroes."
"Trust him, trust that he can come again to save you and get rid of this damned demon."
"No, no, no, you are our hero! He is a despicable and vile usurper, you are our hero!"
"No, I don't want to be a hero, and besides..."
Lin Jiu paused for a moment, looked at their pleading eyes, and said with a smile, "You have no other choice but to believe him."
"of course."
"You probably won't make it until your hero comes back to save you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by.
Everyone on this street had a line of blood on their waist.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"
······
Looking at the city walls so close at hand and the vast, boundless mountains and rainforests outside the city.
The soldiers' eyes were filled with hope.
Just rush out.
He would be safe whether he ventured into the complex rainforest or the towering mountains of Mount Sumeru. At that time, given the vastness of Teyvat, if he was determined to escape, how could Lin Jiu'an possibly find him?
"Faster! Faster!"
The stragglers kept forcibly urging the wind element to make themselves faster.
at last.
Time passed by minute by minute.
As the stragglers broke out of Sumeru City and rushed into the rainforest, they revealed genuine smiles of relief, as if they had survived a calamity.
Escaped!
The stragglers, who had forcibly activated wind elements beyond their capabilities, slowly landed on the ground.
His face turned pale.
Sweating profusely and panting heavily.
However, his face was full of joy at surviving the ordeal.
"really!"
To prevent something like today from happening again, it was the right decision to specifically choose the wind element, which is the fastest and can fly!
The stragglers smiled but still turned around to look behind them.
After confirming that there were no pursuers, the scattered soldiers finally relaxed completely.
No matter how strong Lin Jiu'an is, when it comes to speed, he can't even see my back!
"Damn it, how did he manage to put me in such a sorry state?"
Don't give me the chance!
"The grudge I've set today, I will tear you to pieces tomorrow!"
The stragglers gritted their teeth as they headed deeper into the rainforest.
But as soon as he took a step, the stragglers suddenly felt a dizzying sensation. Before they could even focus their vision, they heard the pitiful wails and cries of the Sumeru people they had heard before.
then.
He heard words that disgusted and terrified him, such as "Lord A-Mao! It's Lord A-Mao!", "Lord A-Mao, please come and save us!", and "That demon Lin Jiu'an has gone mad!"
Once their vision returned, the stragglers were horrified to find themselves back in Sumeru City.
The crowd around him was filled with panicked people fleeing, and seeing the hopeful look in his eyes, they rushed towards him one after another.
Before he could even utter the words "Get out of my way!", the soldier felt someone watching him. Following that gaze, he nearly suffered a cardiac arrest.
Lin Jiu'an!
next moment.
The stragglers had no time to think about anything else, nor could they comprehend why they had suddenly returned to the city.
He roughly pushed away the Sumeru people who wanted to grab him.
Forced to activate the wind element, he soared into the sky and continued running towards the outside of the city. After running for a while, the stragglers suddenly realized that their bodies were a bit heavy. Looking down, they found that a Sumeru person was hugging their legs.
"Let me go!"
"Lord Ah Mao, save me! Save us!"
"Let me go right now!"
Seeing that the man wouldn't let go no matter what, the scattered soldiers didn't care that they were above Sumeru City and there were thousands of Sumeru people below.
He directly channeled wind energy into his hand and attacked the man. The next moment, the man screamed as his arm broke in two and fell downwards, crashing to the ground with a 'thud' and turning into a pile of minced meat.
then.
The stragglers paid no heed to the incredulous gazes and curses of the Sumeru people below.
They sped away, fleeing towards the outskirts of the city.
After a long time, when he was almost exhausted, he finally escaped from the city. This time, the stragglers did not dare to enter the rainforest again, but instead plunged into the mountains. After landing on the ground and waiting on guard for a while, they did not return to Sumeru City.
But just as the stragglers breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, they were suddenly struck by another dizzying sensation.
When the stragglers came to their senses again, they were utterly devastated to find that they had returned to Sumeru City!
Not far away, Lin Jiu'an was grinning as he watched him!
Without a moment to think, the stragglers, driven by their instinctive will to survive, once again pushed their already nearly exhausted bodies into the air, using the wind element to fly out of the city.
Once, twice, three times...
The stragglers had no idea how many times they had fled to the outskirts of Sumeru.
Southeast, northwest.
He has already tried all four directions.
The wind element within the body has been depleted.
He tried all sorts of directions and methods: rainforests, mountains, official roads, plains.
Even after leaving Sumeru City, he continued flying tirelessly in one direction for a full day before thinking of catching his breath. But as soon as he relaxed and landed on the ground, he found himself back in Sumeru City!
Lin Jiu'an was still smiling at him from the side!
Now the scattered soldiers dared not even land.
Even though they had almost exhausted their wind element, and even though their bodies ached slightly while using the wind element, the skirmishers dared not land and continued to fly forward.
One day, two days, three days...
When the stragglers could no longer hold on, they fell to the ground unconscious.
Time passed, and a gentle breeze brushed against his cheek as the soldier wearily opened his eyes.
Looking at the vast rainforest before him, feeling the direction of the grass blades and the muddy soil, the aching soldier was stunned for a long time before the memories from before flooded his mind, and only then did he realize...
"I didn't go back this time!"
The stragglers were trembling with excitement.
His eyes were red-rimmed.
The voice was choked.
He got up and ran for a while, only to find himself still in the same spot. Unable to contain his excitement any longer, he hugged his head and burst into tears and laughter.
"Great! Great!"
"I didn't go back this time! I didn't go back!"
"I never went back to that damned Sumeru City!"
The stragglers shouted wildly until they were tired and felt the hunger in their stomachs, at which point they stopped their revelry.
The soldier, panting and with a relieved smile on his face, saw a deer grazing in the woods. He was about to walk over and kill the deer to fill his stomach.
But the next moment.
The stragglers suddenly felt a dizzying sensation.
When he came to his senses, he was filled with the cries, wails, pleas for mercy, and curses of the people of Sumeru.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the streets of Sumeru City, which had become a hellish place filled with severed limbs, and Lin Jiu'an, who was grinning at him. The soldier stood there dumbfounded.
