Chapter 2058  Escape

The only option here was to run away. He quickly used his Teleportation Dao to get him far away from the attack, so that it wouldn\'t follow him.

He arrived out in the open space, further even than the group of people that were fighting. Everyone was running away already, at least the ones that survived, but many people began following them.

"We can\'t fight," Miao Wupeng said as they arrived close by. "God dammit! There are too many of them."

"They aren\'t stopping," someone else said, continuing to run.

Alex ran along with them, but the people behind them followed them relentlessly. They continued attacking, and while many of the remaining people dodged, a few couldn\'t and were struck. They teleported away from the realm behind him.

"We need to go somewhere they can\'t follow us," Primrose said. "Let\'s go to the maze. And pray we lose them there."

Alex flew alongside them and said, "Follow me. I know the way."

Their small group ran into the maze through the exit, immediately feeling their spiritual sense get constricted to a barely usable amount.

Alex took the very first right, shouting, "Don\'t lose sight of me."

He took the subsequent turns with no wasted movement, continuing to make further and further into the maze.

Their group of 30 continued making their way in. "Do you know where we\'re going?" Primrose asked as she was stunned to not come across a single dead end.

"I do," Alex said but frowned when he realized that this wasn\'t working. Even though he was getting further and further into the maze. He could hear attacks behind him that followed. The 30 or so people behind him formed a sort of snake and the tail showed the way for their enemies to follow them too.

He stopped and immediately turned around. "Take two rights and wait for me," he said, letting the group run beyond him. When the last of the people from his group passed, Alex took out a pill and tossed it in the way.

A dozen or so people were right behind the final people that passed Alex, each one strong enough to be a problem on their own. But, the pill he had was stronger than any of them, so it was not a problem.

They barely noticed the pill flying toward them and took out a defensive treasure or used a defensive technique to protect themselves.

However, that was of little help to many. The explosion that came from the pill shook the very ground, glowing formations appearing around the plant walls of the maze. He immediately turned around, wasting no time in thinking who he got and who managed to protect themselves. He simply ran away, showing the group of people the rest of the path to keep them running.

About 10 minutes later, he finally stopped as he could be certain now that no one had made this far in. It would have taken people days to come this far in the first time, and he hoped no one had made it through.

When he stopped, the group stopped with him.

"We should stay here," Alex said, looking at the people that came with him. Each one of them was somewhat wounded or hurt. Primrose had a disheveled appearance and Miao Wupeng wasn\'t that well off either.

Alex looked for Tong Fanguan and frowned. "Where\'s sister Tong?" he asked.

People turned around to check, and she was not there. "Dammit!" Primrose said. "They got her."

"Oafdusk is missing too, and brother Yunwong," Wupeng said. "We lost strong people here."

Alex took a deep breath, calming himself.

"What happened?" Primrose asked. "How were there so many people all of a sudden?"

"They teleported there," Alex said. "That… scout guy. Mightswan, I think his name was. He wasn\'t a member of our group. He was someone else in disguise."

"That\'s not possible," someone shouted. "Mightswan is my friend. I would know if he changed."

"It couldn\'t have been Mightswan," Primrose said. "There was a formation set up to trigger when unknown people entered. Even if someone had changed their face to look like Mightswan, it wouldn\'t have worked."

"It didn\'t trigger for me. I don\'t remember being added," Alex said.

"That\'s because I added you, brother Dawnblade," Miao Wupeng said.

Alex frowned. "But I did see it happen," he said. How had the people managed to bypass the formation? Some sort of technique or another formation of their own?

They should have noticed.

"Whatever the case. They made sure to attack when we were together and pincered us. Now we have… 28 people with us," Primrose said.

The group began talking about their horrible loss and many even talked about leaving the group. As there was no chance of victory in their eyes with just 28 people, against their nearly 150, they were no longer willing to continue this charade. Victory was impossible for them.

Alex frowned. He couldn\'t let it stop like this. He had 3 other places to check. \'Damn it,\' he thought. He sighed and looked up, a haze of color suddenly appearing before his eyes. It disappeared as quickly as it appeared, but he had caught that.

He reached for his eyes, confused. \'What is happening?\' he thought. \'Is it finally beginning to upgrade?\'

He had been stuck on stage 2 of Demon Eyes for so long, so the changes likely meant that he was going to stage 3. \'How much longer will I have to wait for this?\'

Alex decided to use it more frequently from now on and train it even more too. He focused on his physique more when he cultivated, and didn\'t give much time to cultivating the eyes, so maybe it was time he started doing so.

His eyes glowed a soft purple and he looked around at them, each one emanating a soft, dull-colored aura. Everyone, except one.

A middle-aged man at the back, with short hair and a scraggly beard, seemed to have an awkward aura around him. Alex looked at his face and saw a tired look.

Everyone was tired from the fight and hurt too, but this man was sweating on top of that. Just like…

The old man met his eyes and immediately looked away. Alex needed no more reasons.

He created an ice spike, full of Water Dao and Yin Dao, next to him and shot it toward the old man. The old man turned at once, pulling out a treasure to block himself, but the ice spike destroyed it at once.

The people were surprised by the sudden attack and a few started crying out. They turned to attack Alex, but their oaths didn\'t allow betrayal against fellow members of the group, so they couldn\'t attack him.

Alex shot a few more ice spikes, and by the end of it, the old man could not defend himself anymore and a teleportation aura surrounded him.

A look of frustration appeared on his face as it slowly changed, turning into a young girl before she was teleported away.
