The raven continued to watch them, as if it lacked the motivation to move . The red-cloud donkey now drifted over to Han Sen's side, which had more people, and neighed at them every now and again .

Seeing the red-cloud donkey come closer, Xu Dong Jin felt at ease . If it was the raven that chose to come after them, the danger would be far worse .

There was a chance of surviving the pursuit of the murder-donkey, but not the raven . If it was the raven that chose to be upon them, there would be no hope of survival .

Although they felt great remorse for the selfless deed Chen Ran had proposed, they each wanted to live . And it was because of this they were thankful in their hearts and gratefully relieved, as well .

When the timer reached zero, Chen Ran shouted "Run!"

Chen Ran bolted out from beneath the bones as fast as the morning light .

Seeing Chen Ran run, Xu Dong Jin's vigor was re-instilled . He and his people left their end of the skeleton, too .

The Queen was about to leave with them, but Han Sen pulled her back . She turned to him with a bewildered look, not understanding why he did not want to run .

But quickly, the Queen realized what was happening . The raven had taken flight, but its target was not Chen Ran . It had flown towards the skull .

Xu Dong Jin and his people had already made their departure, but the donkey was already on their heels . It prevented their return to the safety of the skeleton . With no way of turning back, they had no choice but to continue on their way down the mountain as they had planned .

The Queen turned back to look at Chen Ran and noticed he had already run a distance of two hundred meters .

"It looks like the raven follows the larger crowd . " The Queen frowned at the thought .

"Bollocks!" Han Sen coldly said . "Chen Ran, that old bastard; he played us! The tail may have looked to be a more dangerous exit at first, but look closely . Would the skeleton of a creature this large only have a tail that was a few meters in length? It is broken off . The rest of the tailbone most likely resides below the soil, and that's why Chen Ran was happy to head in that direction . We may not have noticed it, but the creatures are most likely able to sense it . That's why they have favored chasing us . "

The Queen was mortified, "He led his own people to a slaughter?"

Now, the Queen was beginning to understand the situation, as much as she would have liked not to . Chen Ran was willing to sacrifice his own followers for just a bit more time in his attempt to escape .

"That asshole . " The Queen couldn't help but swear . It would have been okay if Chen Ran tricked them alone, but it was a wretched thing to betray the people you have sworn to lead and nurture . He was insane; a man willing to do whatever it took to survive .

"Don't worry, though . The way he did this has given us a chance to survive . " Han Sen said coldly, watching Chen Ran run off without stopping .

The Queen acknowledged what he meant . Standing inside the ribcage, they had nowhere to go . When they heard screams from afar, it told them Xu Dong Jin and his people were meeting a grisly end .

After ten minutes, the screaming stopped . They must have all been killed .

After the raven and the red-cloud donkey were finished with them, they returned . They coldly watched Han Sen and the Queen, who continued hiding between the bones of the ribcage . Believing that they were not willing to make an exit any time soon, the duo of bloodthirsty creatures took off in Chen Ran's direction .

"I will count to a hundred . When I say 'one hundred,' we run out together from the skull . This will be our only chance of escape . " Han Sen started counting up . He unlocked his gene lock to keep track of where the raven and the donkey were .

The fact they had gone off after the treacherous Chen Ran brought a modicum of gladness to their hearts . Once the monsters had gone far enough, Han Sen was prepared to make one last run for escape alongside the Queen .

When he counted to one hundred, he was no longer able to see where the raven and donkey were . Acknowledging they had to be a great distance away by now, Han Sen knew it was time .

They both darted out from beneath the bones like arrows . A little while later, Han Sen's heart felt as if it was going to leap out of his chest . Tugging on the Queen's hand, he yelled at her to go back .

The Queen looked around and did not espy any nearby danger, but she had come to trust Han Sen's judgment a lot . Without hesitation, she returned to the skull with him .

As Han Sen retreated, he looked around himself to confirm whether or not there was any danger but could not see anything . Still, he trusted his instincts and his instincts were telling him to turn back . There was a danger of some immediacy in the area, and it was something that could kill him .

Running as fast as he could back to the bones, the feeling of danger began to choke him . It was getting stronger and stronger . With his gene lock at max capacity, the sense of impending doom was unbearable .

In the next moment, a bright light flashed by Han Sen's neck . He didn't hear anything, but he jumped forward . That was when he saw the looming black shadow that had crept over him . Blood gushed like a bouquet of flowers .

Han Sen felt as if his back was burning . He suspected a bone in his back had been broken . But the wound was the least of his concerns right now, as he rolled and climbed towards the bones of the ribcage once more . It was a life or death gambit, and what had seemed like a short distance to traverse, now went on and on instead .

The raven was furious at its inability to finish off Han Sen . It flapped its wings and disappeared once more . When it reappeared again, the wingblades of Han Sen's nemesis sliced against the back of Han Sen's neck .

Han Sen's heart let out a cry, "It's over . "

The raven was too powerful, and its speed denied him the ability to dodge .

But at that precise moment, when it appeared Han Sen was about to lose his head, the dried-vines that strangled the bones came to life .

They were each like toxic snakes, lashing out at the raven that had drawn too near to the ribcage . They trapped the beast, and though it pecked and swung its wings as hard as it could, the raven could not cut its way free .

Han Sen felt a chill . The raven had wanted to kill Han Sen so much, and now its body was being dragged into the ribcage he had previously sought shelter in . The gourd vines were choking the life out of it as it struggled to get free .

Han Sen froze . He had never expected the seemingly lifeless vines to have so much power, power enough to restrain a super creature such as that .

Now Han Sen understood . The creatures weren't afraid of the bones they were afraid of the vines that were wrapped around them .

Having managed to remove the gourd from the vines earlier, Han Sen hoped the seemingly-sentient vines did not think poorly of him .

In Han Sen's chest pocket, the gourd began to pulsate once more . This time, it was stronger than ever .

Bringing out the gourd to hold in his hands, he really did feel like it was a heartbeat . Han Sen now knew for sure that this was no trick of his mind . The weak pulse was like the heartbeat of a baby . It may have been faint, but it was life all the same .
