After running at full speed for ten minutes, Su Xiao finally stopped.
Behind him was complete silence. The fact that the Blood Eye didn’t chase after him was undoubtedly good news. However, the reinforcement team had gone from twenty-seven members to just three: Su Xiao, Shinobu Akira, and Shizuo Ryou.
Su Xiao leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. Next to him, Shinobu Akira was slumped on the ground, occasionally spitting out bile; she was completely exhausted from running.
"What was that thing? A ghoul? Are there really such terrifying ghouls in this world? Even a one-eyed owl would be swallowed whole by it."
Shinobu's golden hair was messy and stuck to her face with sweat. Her chest heaved violently, looking like someone who had just been through a tough ordeal.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Shizuo was leaning against the wall, coughing so hard it seemed like he might cough up a lung.
"Thud."
Su Xiao lit a cigarette and leaned back against the wall.
"I finally understand why that guy, Oma, ran away earlier."
