Chapter 773 - 773 773 Thank God Rescue is Here
773: Chapter 773: Thank God, Rescue is Here 773: Chapter 773: Thank God, Rescue is Here Zhuo Hang arrived, running like the wind, fighting his way through everyone in his path.
It didn’t matter how many people, who they were, he would fight them relentlessly.
Seeing Zhuo Hang unstoppable and inching closer to him, Gu Fan couldn’t hide his joy.
He saw him as his savior and yelled at him loudly, “Brother, over here, you’re going in the wrong direction.”
Not just Zhuo Hang, both Su Hui and Gu Ling arrived as well.
However, they didn’t immediately join in, instead, they sneaked behind the altar while Zhuo Hang was drawing the enemy’s attention and climbed up.
With Gu Ling’s sensing ability, she knew the right timing, therefore no one noticed when she and Su Hui climbed up to the altar.
The red snake that was entangling Gu Fan also didn’t notice Gu Ling and Su Hui.
With Gu Ling’s sensing ability being so powerful, it was no surprise they were able to seize the right moment.
As soon as they were close enough, Su Hui swung her staff at the red snake’s head, instantly shattering it.
With the snake defeated, Gu Fan could finally breathe a sigh of relief while Qian Ye, observing this scene, furrowed her brows slightly.
“Brother, how was it, did I arrive in the nick of time?” Gu Ling quickly boasted about her achievement.
“Great, you guys are here too.
I knew I wouldn’t die tonight.” Gu Fan couldn’t help but laugh, then hastily added, “Let’s leave before they find us out.”
Qian Ye agreed and motioned towards the seven heads on the altar table, implying that they couldn’t just leave them behind.
“So what do we do, do we take them with us?” Gu Fan felt it would be challenging for the four of them to carry seven heads, and the idea also felt odd.
He thought about the bizarre image of them fleeing from their pursuers while clutching severed heads which could possibly even speak.
Qian Ye proposed, “Why don’t you jingle the bell, let the seven headless people recognize theirs, then they can follow us and run together.”
Gu Fan thought this was a good idea, so he jingled the bell in his hand.
The seven headless people immediately sprung into action, follow Gu Fan’s instruction, each one picked up a head.
Observing this, Su Hui and Gu Ling were unhinged.
Who were these headless people and why were they obeying Gu Fan?
Wait, wasn’t that head held by a headless person Yang Xinran’s?
Could it be…?
Su Hui and Gu Ling figured out a part of it, but now was not the time for questions.
They had to seize this window of opportunity and escape.
The seven headless people moving towards the offerings caused the altar to shake violently, drawing the attention of the people from the ancient town.
“They’re trying to escape!” An old man cried out furiously, signaling everyone to reverse direction and pursue.
They had no choice.
Faced with insurmountable odds, Gu Fan, Su Hui, Gu Ling, Qian Ye and the seven headless people had no choice but to run.
They didn’t dare look back, fearful of the sight of the enraged pursuers.
If Su Hui and Gu Ling found their way here, they must have a way out.
It seemed most appropriate for them to lead the way.
After running for a while, everyone’s stamina was draining, but the chasers were still not far behind, seeming to be closing in.
“What should we do?
We can’t shake them off!” Su Hui said urgently.
She was in good shape and could run faster, but Gu Ling was already gasping for breath, they had to figure something else out.
Just when everyone was starting to run out of stamina, the sound of pursuers from behind stopped.
Gu Fan looked back and saw that there were indeed no more pursuers.
He rejoiced and quickly suggested everyone rest and catch their breath.
“Oh my god, we finally made it out.” Gu Ling was exhausted.
“Brother, Sister Su, can we not take this kind of work in the future?
It’s too tiring, too intense.
My little heart can’t handle it.”
“I told you not to come, but you insisted.” Gu Fan had just mentioned it when he received a glare from Gu Ling: “What do you mean?
You’re so ungrateful.
If it wasn’t for me, we wouldn’t have been able to rescue you so easily.”
Gu Fan hastily apologized, “Alright, alright, it’s my fault.
It’s thanks to you that we were able to escape the danger.”
“Let’s head back quickly.” Su Hui checked her phone for their location, realizing they had quite a journey ahead to reach the place where they parked.
As for Zhuo Hang, they weren’t worried.
They were confident that someone of his caliber would be able to protect himself.
After resting for a while and still not seeing any pursuers, Gu Fan was slightly puzzled.
He couldn’t believe their enemies would just give up.
They continued walking, always being vigilant of their surroundings.
Su Hui eyed the seven headless people holding their heads in their arms and instinctively kept her distance.
Had she not been through so many bizarre experiences, she would’ve been terrified by these headless individuals.
Gu Fan told Su Hui and Gu Ling what was actually going on, letting them know that these headless people were the ones they were trying to rescue.
Looking at those headless people, Gu Ling made a bitter face: “How do we put their heads back on?
If we don’t, we can’t take them back to their families.
It would scare their families to death.”
Indeed, this was a problem.
Gu Fan looked at Qian Ye, who indicated that she had no knowledge of their witchcraft and couldn’t help reattach their heads.
“We will have to give it a try!” Gu Fan went over and picked up Zhang Yang’s head, pressing it onto the neck of Zhang Yang’s body.
But after waiting for a while, Zhang Yang still didn’t reopen his eyes and a gust of wind blew his head off.
It seemed to be a failed attempt.
Gu Fan was distressed, scratching his head.
Should he go back and plead with those people?
But how can he convince them?
As Gu Fan thought of their demand to lift their curse, he inadvertently glanced at Qian Ye.
Qian Ye seemed to understand Gu Fan’s gaze, she avoided eye contact with him and said indifferently, “I can’t, I can only guarantee your safety.
I must think about myself too.”
“No worries, I understand.” There’s no way Gu Fan would force Qian Ye to do something she didn’t want to.
Then Su Hui and Gu Ling understood the situation better.
As it turned out, Qian Ye could lift the curse on these townsfolk, but the price was draining her energy and supernatural power.
Returning to the ancient times in such state, she wouldn’t even have the capacity to protect herself and could face dangerous risk.
Su Hui then added, “Given the circumstances, I believe Lin Xi will understand.
We will just delay Qian Ye’s return to ancient times.
Gu Fan, could you please explain to Lin Xi and ask her to hold on for a few more days.”
“Seems like that’s the only way.” Gu Fan thought for a while, then ran to a corner to make a phone call.
Who could he be calling?
