Chapter 2978: Thinking of a Way Out

The sloppy Taoist priest immediately understood what he meant and assisted from the side: "Wu Laoliu, even if you give it to them, they won't let us go. It's better for us to eat it ourselves. Our strength will be greatly improved and we may even be able to defeat them."

"Luo Laoliu, we can't beat him. This person's cultivation is at least at the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and he also has the power of the Black Demon. Even if he takes the elixir, the two of us can't beat him. We might as well fight for a chance to survive." I argued with the sloppy Taoist priest.

"He's right. Even if you take these pills, they won't work. Besides, I'm not the only one here. There are many masters of the Black Magic Cult around me. You can't escape. Only if you give me the pills will you have a hope of survival." Maynard was a little panicked and came to persuade them personally.

"Wu Laoliu, you will regret it if you give it to him. He will definitely not let us go." The sloppy Taoist pretended to be heartbroken.

The sloppy Taoist priest and I have known each other for such a long time. Among the Sixth Group, we are the two with the most cunning minds. He must know that I will not take out the real elixir, so he cooperates with me in acting.

This guy is definitely a movie emperor level, his acting is just like the real thing.

"Luo Laoliu, at this point, we have no other choice but to give it a try."

As I said that, I looked at Maynard again: "After I gave you the elixir, will you really let us go?"

"Don't worry, as long as you give me the pills, I will allow you to run for three minutes and then I will chase you. How about it?" Maynard was already impatient.

"Well, let's make a deal. Let's agree that whoever cheats others will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death." The sloppy Taoist suddenly said this.

I really want to kick this guy. Can you change the way you curse him so that he gets struck by lightning every time?

Now I panic when I hear these words, and I was the one who lied in the first place.

This sounds like you are scolding me.

"Okay, you can go now." Maynard waved his hand, signaling the people from the Black Magic Cult who surrounded us to make way for them.

The sloppy Taoist priest and I looked at each other and walked cautiously out of the encirclement.

After walking about ten meters, I placed the two Nine Revolutions Bone Scraping Pills on the ground, then waved to Maynard: "I put the pills refined by the Rafflesia Mother here. We agreed that we should run for three minutes."

Maynard waved his hand confidently: "Don't worry, you can leave now. If we catch up with you in three minutes, you will die."

After I placed the Nine-Turn Bone Scraping Pill on the ground, I called out to the sloppy Taoist priest and turned and ran away.

After we ran a few steps, I looked back and saw Maynard's figure flash and directly flash to the side of the pill. He picked it up and put it on himself.

The next moment, he shouted, "Chase him!"

Good man, this old guy has no moral principles. I knew he would break his word after taking the things.

But it doesn’t matter, what I gave him wasn’t a good thing.

The sloppy Taoist priest and I ran together. I grabbed his arm and activated the Shenxiao Jiuli again.

However, as I ran, I felt the air around me become sticky again, and the Qi field was blocked again.

At this time, the sloppy Taoist priest whispered, "Wu Laoliu, do you think Maynard will eat the pill directly after getting it? If he does, we will have a chance."

"How should I know? Maybe he took it back and presented it to the leader of the Black Magic Cult."

While I was discussing this matter with the sloppy Taoist priest, a dark shadow flashed in front of us, and then Maynard blocked our way again.

There's nothing I can do. The gap in strength is too huge. I knew that sooner or later I would be caught up by him.

After stopping us, Maynard slashed at us again. The sloppy Taoist priest and I quickly stepped back and jumped to the side.

The terrifying sword energy chopped down several big trees behind us, and those big trees exploded one after another, with wood chips flying everywhere.

"You can't escape from the palm of my hand." Maynard raised his big knife and looked at me, the sloppy Taoist priest, triumphantly.

"Maynard, you're not trustworthy. You said you wanted us to run for three minutes, but it's not even half a minute and you caught up with us." I pointed at Maynard and said angrily.

"I just tricked you into handing over the pills. Don't you understand the principle of using deception in war? You can't blame me for this. The leader has given a death order, requiring me to bring back your heads." Maynard said with a sneer.

"It's over, it's over. I just said that you will be struck by lightning. You will be punished." The sloppy Taoist pointed at him.

"I have killed countless people. If you believed this, I would have died countless times. Prepare to die." Maynard raised the long sword in his hand again and attacked me and the sloppy Taoist priest.

I immediately activated the power of the Xuanzhen Wuyuan Gong and the Blood Refining Ball, and the sloppy Taoist also used the power of the dragon and phoenix bracelet.

The two of us merged together and pounced on Maynard together.

Unexpectedly, after just two moves, the sloppy Taoist priest and I couldn't hold on any longer. The sword in his hand was too fierce. Every time it chopped down, it felt like being hit by a truck, and my internal organs were churning.

While the sloppy Taoist priest and I were fighting Maynard, the other masters of the Black Magic Cult gathered around us. Upon seeing this, the sloppy Taoist priest shouted at me, "Wu Laoliu, you have to find a way to get out of this, otherwise we will both die here today."

In fact, I have already thought of a way out.

I first condensed a few huge ice men again, blocked Maynard's way, and retreated a distance with the sloppy Taoist priest.

After those giant ice men appeared, they could not stop Maynard for long. He basically chopped them into pieces one by one.

After I stepped out, I took out a wind escape talisman from my body, which was given to me by Tang Shangning.

Without any hesitation, I threw it over my head and grabbed the sloppy Taoist's arm.

When the wind escape talisman burned, a ray of light immediately enveloped me and the sloppy Taoist priest. The next moment, I felt the Qi field rolling violently, and there was a rush of wind and lightning in my ears, as if I was traveling through time and space. I was so scared that I didn't dare to open my eyes.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, only three or five seconds, and the sloppy Taoist priest and I fell to the ground, each of us falling on our butts.

At this time, I found that the sloppy Taoist priest and I were still in a dense forest.

It seems we didn't get very far.
