The trio raced forward for some time before coming upon a massive chasm formed by a tremor in the earth's veins.
The chasm stretched for a couple of miles and was bottomless. At its widest, it was over a hundred feet across; at its narrowest, it was still twenty to thirty feet.
Although the three of them were skilled in leaping great distances, they couldn't clear the gap. They had no choice but to make a detour and cross at its narrowest point.
The slight delay was enough for Ghostly Wound Old Monster to close the distance to just a few hundred yards.
Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang knew how critical the situation was. Lingering would only be a burden to Chen Cheng, so they focused all their energy on escaping.
Fortunately, crossing the chasm brought them to the edge of Five Peaks Ridge. The path ahead was ordinary mountain forest, offering much clearer passage.
The two sisters' pace abruptly quickened.
