Chapter 327 Knight in Shining Armour
This cored beast was definitely not going have mercy on her of it descovered that she was the one with it\'s egg.
However, for now, it did not know because it already had prey in it\'s mouth.
The beast bit off the head of a human that had been unlucky enough to get caught, riping it off like stubborn noodles from a fork.
However, it was not satisfied as it also ripped out his arm.
The unlucky soul did not even have the privilege of crying out in the suffering of it\'s pain.
It was ripped apart like the mould of blood and flesh that he was.
The old man saw this.
The horror of such death befalling her flash in her eyes. Without a doubt, that must have been excruciating to bear.
No! She did not want to feel such pain.
She wanted to escape.
Yes, she had to escape.
Immediately she decided that the best solution was to leave the egg and make on her heels for her life.
She instantly loosened her hold on the bag holding the egg as she tried to escape.
However, as she did, the egg so happened to roll out of the bag.
The sight of which instantly grabbed the attention of the beast.
She tried to kick against the ground in attempt for an escape.
However, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her ankle.
She had been a farmer and hunter for many years without troubles.
Not even having as little as a back pain.
But now, she was trying to run for her life and the heavens decided to curse her with an ankle injury.
\'Such a thing could only be the work of karma\' she told herself.
Yes, it had to be karma.
After all, she had once had a beautiful family but lost it all like the plague of a million locust on a farm.
As far as she was concerned, fate was very terrible to her.
No, Fate was probably giving her what she deserved.
It was probably why she had been tempted by the egg in the first place.
It must be something she did in another life and was now required to pay for the sin.
She could not help but suddenly break down in tears.
The water droplets fell from her face like the running of a river.
Slowly, she turned around as she faced the beast that slowly advanced forward.
The core beast stopped a little at the side of the egg, giving it a deep sniff. Surely, this was it\'s stolen egg.
It suddenly turned towards the old woman.
One step at a time, it advanced towards her.
As it did, it\'s eyes showed the ferocity of it\'s anger.
It\'s retractable claws suddenly got longer, their gleam reflecting under the light of the mid day sun.
It gave low Growls that showed the aggressiveness of it\'s primal carnivorous nature.
Steadily it advanced for it\'s prey.
However, just When kept in the air for her, and she was sure that she was going to reach the underworld to see her children, something unexpected happened.
From seemingly no where, a young boy rushed in grabbed her and rolled out of the way.
It was an incredible swift and efficient move.
This was something that would not have been possible without good timing plus a fearless nature and effective skill in fighting.
The old woman had not closed her eyes in expectancy of death.
No! Her eyes were fully open as she was ready to embrace it.
However, to her surprise, death did not come.
Instead, her eyes tumbled a bit, and then she noticed she was in the hands of strong young man.
He carried her and rushed for the mountains.
She was surprised by this, and looked at the young man strangely.
But he only looked down at her and gave the most caring some she had ever received.
For a slight moment there, she could have sworn that she saw the face of her husband merge with his, and then it was gone.
"Hold on Mama, I\'m here for you. I\'ll get you to safety," he comforted.
Those words, yet again took her by shock.
It was at this moment that she slightly looked behind, and noticed that the beast was chasing both of them.
Naturally, this beast that was of the Blue core was supposed to have caught up with them by now.
However, it was not so. Instead, this youth that had taken her, managed to run fast enough that the beast could not reach.
However, another thought sprang in her head.
If this boy was this fast, didn\'t that mean that it was only logical for the beast to stop and go back to its egg?
However, she suddenly felt a weight bump at her legs.
When she looked, she was surprised to see that it was her bag, and within it was the egg.
"No! My bag... The Beast!!!" She tried to warn, however, her words made it seem as if she was worried about her bag instead.
The Young Man looked at her and nodded, "don\'t worry Mama, I took your back too. We just have to get rid of this thing chasing us."
The Young Man had a caring intonation. It was comforting and she was surprised to see that she actually shut up.
He ran with her, with incredible skill and was not in the least bothered about her weight or the weight of the egg.
Without anyone telling her, she could already guess two things.
Firstly, he was one of those mysterious people that lived in the mountains, and secondly, he was most likely a cultivator.
After all, only cultivators could do what he did with such ease.
Finally, they arrived at a cave and he dropped her inside with care, "wait for me!"
