Han Sen retreated a bit, trying to get a better look at what it was . It wasn't a big fish like he initially presumed it to be .
Its body did look like that of a fish, but it had legs . It didn't have any scales, and its body was made up of a keratinous shell . The color of the beast was black like ink .
It was no wonder why the shadow in the water was so dark, with its color .
And when it emerged from the river, it was far bigger than it had appeared beneath the water . Its mouth was fitted with razor-sharp teeth that could shred anything it sought to chew .
It emerged with stunning speed . Before they could get any good distance away, its mouth was directly in front of them .
Elysian Moon brought out her umbrella like she was drawing a sword, and with it, she struck the monster's head .
The creature's head then glowed with a dark light . It summoned a black, triangle-shaped blade to deflect the incoming umbrella .
The umbrella was already badly damaged, and when the triangle blade hit it, the umbrella broke completely . Blood spilled from Elysian Moon's mouth after the blow, and she stumbled back directly into Han Sen's arms .

Han Sen frowned . He stabilized Elysian Moon and started to run with her in tow . Her gemstone geno core wasn't very sturdy, but the fact that the monster had instantly destroyed the umbrella spoke volumes about how wretchedly powerful its own core must have been . Its level could not have possibly been below Elysian Moon's .
As Han Sen ran, the monster quickly followed . The creature's legs were short, but they were fleet and fast .
Han Sen grabbed Elysian Moon and fired up his phoenix techniques . With his agility being fueled by those, he was able to dodge every attack that came his way and maintain his speed . He was able to avoid getting bitten and beaten by the teeth and blade, respectively .
Elysian Moon found herself under Han Sen's armpit once again . This time, she was quiet . Her pride had been stomped on . She had repeatedly called him a wimp, but Han Sen had excused all her transgressions and nastiness, and he was taking good care of her .
Han Sen flew up into the air, and the monster followed . It was just as fast as his phoenix techniques when airborne . The monster's triangle blade was even faster . As it rushed up towards Han Sen, nothing slowed it down . It sped towards Han Sen like a supercar .
So, Han Sen flew back down into the woodlands . He could use the environment there to his advantage and dodge the monster more easily . Han Sen couldn't shake it no matter what he tried, though . He kept on running until he saw shadows up head . They belonged to the minotaurs .
A group of them were resting in the woods, and when they saw Han Sen heading their way, they quickly jumped back onto their hooves and looked at him like a crowd of angry bulls .
"Oh, no! They're coming!" Elysian Moon screamed, seeing the minotaurs .

Han Sen was still headed their way, though . He did not change his direction or turn .
"Are you crazy?!" Elysian Moon's eyes opened wide . She thought Han Sen was nuts, rushing into the minotaurs the way he was .
But Han Sen just ignored her and pushed to go even faster . He didn't have the time to answer her .
Han Sen's Dongxuan Aura had reached its zenith, and he set it to track each and every movement that the minotaurs made . He had to deal with them, one way or another, and if he turned to flee another way, the minotaurs and the monster would both be chasing him .
So, Han Sen had decided to flee right into the minotaurs, thinking it was the best way to shake off both .
"You are crazy!" Elysian Moon paled when she saw Han Sen speed up as they approached the minotaurs .
She didn't think she was going to survive . Earlier, she had been given some hope, but now death was staring her in the face once more . She was incredibly worried .

She was powerless to choose what to do next, and Han Sen tightened his grip on her as he ran straight into the group of minotaurs .
Han Sen was like an angry bird as he swooped through them .
The minotaurs still wanted his blood, and they all summoned their spears when he came into their midst . Their spears were so quick that their prey almost never reacted in time .
Elysian Moon did not believe Han Sen could avoid getting impaled, and her heart seemed ready to jump out of her chest . A moment later, Elysian Moon watched as Han Sen continued forward without fear or hesitation .
The ruby spears went right past Han Sen's cheek . And with his fearless, unchanging eyes fixed forward, he rushed through the crowd of minotaurs .
Two minotaurs, one on each side, threw spears to prohibit Han Sen's passage .
Elysian Moon was stunned, and just before Han Sen took another step forward, he pulled back . Like magic, he zapped back to the first minotaur .
The two minotaurs that had attempted to block him did not hit anything . And the minotaur in the front did not expect Han Sen to return . He didn't have his spear ready .
Before any of them could react again, Han Sen was already gone . He had blown right past the minotaurs, right through the crowd of them .
Elysian Moon felt as if she was riding a rollercoaster . She thought she might be thrown away any second . And all the while, spears were being chucked at her from each and every angle . She felt as if she'd get stabbed any second now .
She was a spirit, but she felt as if her heart was going to break .
But whenever she thought she was going to die, Han Sen changed direction . And in that hedge-maze of spears, he cleaved a clean path right through the group, and avoided coming into contact with a single pointed weapon .
It was like a magic show: one that juggled with the meaning of life and death . It was a show that tugged and toyed with the heartbeat of its audience .
At that moment, Elysian Moon looked at Han Sen . He looked emotionless, and so serious . It was as if he had everything under control .
When she saw Han Sen like that, a complicated feeling washed over her . She felt safe in her heart . It was a foreign feeling .
"Can we really make it out of here?" Elysian Moon looked at Han Sen's face and receded into thought .
