Chapter 455 Enemies Meet 8

From day to night, and from night to dawn, her concentration was high, and her speed was pushed to the limit.

This was taking a toll on Su Luo; feeling drowsy and hazy, she felt a slight prickling pain in her head.

Su Luo suddenly woke up.

She was lying on the deadwood, and faintly saw a piece of driftwood floating from behind, with a dark figure on it.

Although she couldn't see clearly, Su Luo recognized Li Aotian.

He really is relentless.

Su Luo cursed inwardly.

What should I do?

I can't stay on this deadwood anymore.

But if I run… I'm afraid it won't be that easy either.

Su Luo raised her eyes and observed her surroundings.

This place was a bit like the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, with steep cliffs on both banks, sharp as blades, and interspersed shoals and gorges in the river, where the current was rapid, carrying her a great distance in almost the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Li Aotian was about to catch up.

Time was extremely pressing.

Su Luo didn't have time to think much, so she tore off her outer robe and spread it in a crevice of the deadwood, making it seem like it was there, yet barely visible.

This way, it looked as if she was hiding beneath the branches.

Around the bend ahead, in Li Aotian's blind spot, Su Luo leaped up and grabbed a willow branch extending from the cliff face.

Su Luo's body was as light as a swallow; using the force of the willow branch, she swung out, and in another flash, her figure was gone.

She had already hidden herself at the top of that ancient tree with dense branches and leaves.

The surroundings here were all sheer cliffs, and behind her was Li Aotian's pursuit; as long as she showed herself, she would be seen by him, so Su Luo obediently stayed in the tree, hiding behind the dense branches and leaves.

Su Luo curled up her body, adjusting her physiological functions to the lowest state.

Heartbeat, blood circulation, breathing sounds, and all other physiological functions were suppressed and restrained.

At this moment, her whole body was cold and stiff, like a hibernating snake, with almost no signs of life.

She was gambling.

She was gambling that Li Aotian wouldn't overuse his spiritual power to search the river surface, because the resistance of water penetration was much stronger than that of air.

Moreover, Li Aotian had just advanced to the seventh rank, and his spiritual power might not be able to continuously support his tracking.

Li Aotian came chasing fiercely.

Indeed, just as Su Luo had expected, he had wasted a lot of spiritual power searching the waterfall before, so he didn't use it again at this time, but focused on propelling the driftwood to chase quickly.

Li Aotian's gaze fell upon the deadwood; he hadn't paid attention to it at first, but very quickly, he sharply noticed that hint of goose yellow color among the leaves.

If he remembered correctly, that brat Su Luo was wearing a plain goose yellow dress.

Li Aotian was instantly overjoyed!

He propelled the driftwood beneath his feet and sped towards the deadwood.

And so… he unfortunately passed by the ancient tree where Su Luo was hiding.

As he passed by, Su Luo's eyes were slightly closed, and all her physiological functions were almost stopped.

After all, the difference in strength between her and Li Aotian was too great; if there was even the slightest movement, he would detect a clue.

So Su Luo had to be extremely careful.

However, what made her happy was that Li Aotian's attention was attracted by that patch of goose yellow fabric, and he had no idea that the real her was hiding within his reach.

Li Aotian rushed forward completely unaware, at an incredibly fast speed.

After seeing Li Aotian rush past, Su Luo slowly recovered her bodily functions, slightly moved her limbs, and then began to leave the ancient tree.

Her presence had already been left here, an indelible presence.
