Chapter 1377 Revenge

Upon seeing this scene, Darren started to understand why the straw man following him since the beginning was different from the rest.

It turned out that he was a variant straw man, and he wasn't restricted by the straw girl.

As the straw man walked over, Darren took the opportunity to dodge and go where Finley and the others were.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

"Darren, why are you here? Run away quickly! These straw men are very powerful." His companions were surprised and worried as they reunited with Darren.

"That's right. Look at me! I was beaten by those guys and got myself injured," Weber said, feeling very morose.

Swish!

Darren quickly released his sword intent and cut off the straw ropes binding them.

"Let's get out of here first," Darren said as he looked at the situation of the straw man and the straw girl.

Currently, they were in a stalemate. Both of them could not move freely, so Darren and the others planned to take this chance to run as far as they could.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

About thirty of them immediately flew away from that area.

At the same time, the ordinary straw men standing in the wilderness hesitated for a while when they saw Darren and the others escape. They were thinking if they should chase after them or not.

While they were left standing there, Darren and his companions managed to fly far away.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, they heard the straw girl roar viciously from the distance. Then, hundreds of ordinary straw men immediately moved and flew towards the direction of Darren and the rest.

Soon enough, they saw that a large group of straw men was already at their tails.

"Darren, how about we run away in different directions so we could lose them?" someone suggested as he saw that the straw men were already closing in.

"No!" Darren strongly refused. "There are too many of them. If we go our separate ways, we will easily be defeated by them one after another," he continued.

To be fair, the fighting power of their group was on par with that of the straw men. However, when it came to defense, they would surely be overwhelmed. After all, these straw men didn't feel any fatigue or pain. Needless to say, these young talents would definitely be at a disadvantage in battle.

Especially if they faced them in one-on-one or one-to-many battles, Darren was very certain that they would have no chance against them.

However, when they were together, things could go differently. All of them had different strengths, skills, and methods of fighting. Some were good at attacking, some specialized in healing, while some were good in making traps. Therefore, even if they were outnumbered, once they utilized their skills accordingly, they still had a chance to bring down these straw men.

Therefore, they should stick together instead of going their separate ways.

"You're right. For now, let's do our best to escape from them. If we have no other choice, then we'll engage them!"

As they made up their minds, everyone focused their strength into escaping.

"What?"

However, just as Darren and the others were flying fast to get away from the straw men, some figures in black sudde

oice as he focused his eyes on the straw men.

However, just as when they were about to launch an attack, someone suddenly flew towards Sewell's group.

"Sewell, what happened to you before has nothing to do with me. It's all Eallard's fault that you were driven out. Please let me go."

Fearing death, one of the young talents chose to beg for mercy in front of Sewell Fang.

"Oh? Did I hear that right?" A wicked grin immediately appeared on Sewell Fang's face. "Do you think I will let you off the hook just because you said that you have nothing to do with it?"

Then, another man in black approached Sewell Fang and whispered something in his ear.

After Sewell Fang heard the words of one of his men, his expression suddenly changed. "Well, since it has nothing to do with you, you can come out. I promise you that we won't harm you." Sewell Fang originally planned to kill this man, but then there was something that changed his mind.

"Really? Thank you so much, Sewell!"

With that, Sewell Fang waved the flag and led the young talent to safely get out of the encirclement made by the straw men.

"Let me get this straight. As long as you defect from Darren Chu, I will assure you that I will protect you from your inevitable death. Think about it carefully. I will only give you thirty seconds to consider my offer." Sewell's gaze swept across the young talents who were on the ground. His eyes clearly showed his evil intention.

He thought that if Darren was eventually abandoned by his companions, it would be more interesting than killing him directly. He wanted Darren to experience being betrayed by his companions. He wanted to see the helplessness, desperation, and regret in his eyes.

"Sewell, I swear that what happened before also has nothing to do with me. Please save me."

"Sewell, I have always been on your side. I thought that you were gone so I had no choice but to go with them. I was actually worried about you all this time."

Within the thirty seconds that Sewell Fang gave them, five people had immediately defected. Thus, all five of them were escorted to safety.
