At the break of dawn, the caravan escorted by Zhouyang and the others finally escaped the last wave of demon beast pursuit.
The entire night had been spent in combat.
Initially, two Tier Four demon beasts led a group of flying demon beasts in a chase, delaying their departure. Later, when some land demon beasts caught up, their path to breaking through became difficult.
Although the "Six-winged Flying Centipede" could fly, carrying such heavy cargo limited its flight altitude to only over seven hundred zhang. In an hour, it could only fly over a thousand li, a height and speed clearly insufficient to escape the attack range of the land-based Tier Three demon beasts.
Thus, Zhouyang and the group's task changed from intercepting the pursuing flying demon beasts to helping the "Six-winged Flying Centipede" fend off magical attacks coming from the ground.
