"Really? That's wonderful!" the Asura Goddess exclaimed excitedly. "Quickly, help me open up my acupoints!"

"Bear with it, it might hurt a little." Lin Tian said, extending his claw and aiming it at the acupoint on the Asura Goddess's shell, then suddenly stabbed it down!

"what!"

The Asura Goddess let out a heart-wrenching scream, and the entire turtle trembled.

"Ugly monster, are you alright?" The Empress was startled and quickly asked.

"I...I'm fine..." The goddess of asura's voice was filled with pain, "You...you continue..."

Lin Tian took a deep breath and continued to press and rub the acupoint with his claws. After a while, he stopped.

"Alright, try sticking your head out," Lin Tian said.

Upon hearing this, the Asura Goddess cautiously tried to stick her head out, and this time, she actually succeeded!

"Haha! I'm out! I'm finally out!" the Asura Goddess shouted excitedly, sticking her head out of her shell and shaking it vigorously, as if celebrating her "rebirth".

"Great! Ugly monster, you're finally alright!" The Empress jumped up with joy.

"Thank you, you ugly monster!" the Asura Goddess said gratefully to Lin Tian. "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have really been a coward for the rest of my life!"

"Hehe, no need to thank me, we're brothers!" Lin Tian waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned.

"Brother? Who said we're brothers!" The Asura Goddess had barely poked her head out when she rolled her eyes and retorted without hesitation, "Stop being so conceited! Take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror!"

As she spoke, she twisted her neck and scratched her chin with her paw, looking as if she had finally felt relieved.

But at that moment, she suddenly froze as if struck by lightning.

"What's wrong? Did she have another attack as soon as she came out?" Lin Tian muttered to himself, seeing her like this.

"I...I think...I have a bad feeling..." The goddess of asura's voice trembled, and her already dark tortoise face was now covered with a layer of ashes, as if it had been brushed with soot from the bottom of a pot.

"What bad feeling? Don't scare me!" The Empress tensed up upon hearing this. She leaned closer and patted the Asura Goddess's shell with her little paw. "Are you still feeling unwell?"

"No... I don't know what's wrong..." The Goddess of Asura shook her head vigorously, "It's just... I'm really panicking, I feel... I feel like we're going to be in big trouble!"

Before Lin Tian could laugh at her for her wild speculation, several torches suddenly lit up from all directions!

The firelight was particularly conspicuous in the darkness, like a death knell, appearing one after another, accompanied by a series of chaotic footsteps, rapidly approaching them!

"What the heck! No way? They really were right?" Lin Tian was dumbfounded. Where did all these torches come from in the middle of the night? And they were all aimed at them?

"This...this looks like...human torches?" The Empress, being more knowledgeable, stared at the style of the torches and smelled the humans wafting through the air. Her heart sank. "We're doomed! We're surrounded by humans!"

"How did you know?" Lin Tian was still a little confused. Although his eyesight was good, he couldn't make out what those figures in the distance were in the dark!

"I...I don't know either..." The Goddess of Asura couldn't care less about arguing with Lin Tian at this moment. "I just...I just suddenly felt...it seems like I've awakened...an ability to foresee danger..."

She spoke haltingly, and even she herself could hardly believe it.

"Predict danger? Really?" Lin Tian looked at her with suspicion.

But given the current situation, he didn't have time to think about it anymore.

The torches drew closer and closer, and the heads of the people moving about could be vaguely seen in the firelight. They all looked fierce and menacing, clearly not good people!

"These guys are up to no good!" Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat. He didn't think these humans were out for a picnic in the middle of the night.

These little animals are no match for humans; they're like mice before a cat, destined to be slaughtered!

"We can't worry about that now, let's get out of here!" Lin Tian made a snap decision, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Let's retreat!"

He didn't have time to explain; saving his life was the priority right now!

"Run? Where can we run to?" The Empress panicked. Torches were everywhere, there was no way to escape!

"Let's take the water! It's cool in the water, and there aren't any footprints!" Lin Tian said as he led the way, running towards the nearby stream. "Everyone, follow me!"

His mind works incredibly fast. If he takes the land route now, he'll just be asking to get caught!

Only by taking the waterway can we have a chance of survival!

The Empress, the Asura Goddess, and the little black bear agreed, and quickly followed Lin Tian towards the stream.

"Plop! Plop! Plop!"

Three turtles and a bear jumped into the water with a "plop," creating splashes.

The stream was quite fast-flowing; as soon as they jumped in, they were swept away by the current and carried downstream.

"Ouch! Why is this water so cold!" The Asura Goddess shivered as soon as she stepped into the water. Her charred tortoise shell grimaced in pain when it came into contact with the icy stream.

"Shut up! Do you want to attract all those people?" Lin Tian scolded in a low voice.

The Asura Goddess reluctantly shut her mouth.

"Where are we going now? Should we go back to the camp?" the Empress asked Lin Tian as she thrashed about in the water.

"Go back my ass! Going back to camp now would be like walking into a trap!" Lin Tian rejected the Empress's suggestion without even thinking. "Those people will definitely search our camp. If we go back now, it'll be like lambs to the slaughter!"

As he spoke, he vigorously paddled in the water with his claws, trying to swim faster.

"Then...where should we go?" The Empress was at a loss and could only look at Lin Tian expectantly, hoping he could make a decision.

"Let's swim downstream along this river first. Once we've shaken off those guys, we'll find a safe place to settle down," Lin Tian said as he swam. "It's late at night; they shouldn't be able to catch us."

"I hope so!" The Empress sighed, still feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Hey, can you still use that 'predicting danger' ability of yours?" Lin Tian suddenly remembered something and turned to ask the Goddess of Asura, "Can you do another divination for us and see if we can turn bad luck into good this time?"
