David froze for a moment, and before he could say anything, danger descended again.

The Specter Dragon charged towards him angrily, and he subconsciously darted backwards.

After dodging a charge, he gripped the wooden clubs tightly and aimed the spike on the top at the Specter Dragon.

At such a close distance, he could feel its even more frightening side. His skin and flesh were thick, and it was difficult for normal tools to pierce through his body.

Not only did his earlier strike fail to injure the Specter Dragon, it had instead caused his arm to go numb.

His Combat Skill was currently only at Level 2, which was not enough to kill the Specter Dragon.

When the people in the livestream saw this, they were all dumbfounded.

“What a shameless couple. David was kind enough to save them, they actually left David behind and ran.”

“Damn it! This is too damnable!”

“David’s so pitiful. Boohoohoo…”

The people in the livestream went mad. They had never seen such shameless people before.

David could not think of anything else at the moment. The key was to get through the current crisis.

If he was given three more days to improve his Combat Skill according to his daily plan, he should be able to deal with the Specter Dragon.

But now, it was only the second night and he had encountered a troublesome beast.

Spectral Dragon adjusted its position and charged toward his body again.

The horn on his head was extremely sharp, and it carried a sweeping momentum.

David could only dodge again and again. Since every attack was ineffective, he would not attack.

Finding the opponent’s weakness was the best way to conserve energy and also defeat the opponent.

At the same time, Anthony and Freda quickly entered the forest.

Anthony had not fully recovered from the injury on his leg and his movements were still limited.

In addition, the vegetation in the forest was lush. It was easy to get one’s body cut when running.

In just a short period of time, they had gotten many new wounds.

The two of them slept for a while and regained some strength.

However, they were still as weak as before, having skipped lunch and dinner.

After running for a while, they felt exhausted.

Finally, they stopped by a rock, both of them panting heavily.

It was only then that Freda remembered the key problem. “Is it… not good for us to run away just like this?”

Anthony waved his hand. “My wound has not recovered and you are a woman. How can we be a match for that beast?”

Freda’s voice was full of guilt. “But he healed your wound, after all. He saved your life.”

Anthony’s face darkened and he looked in the direction they came from. “It’s okay. I will repay him in the future if there is a chance.”

Freda faltered slightly. Would there really be such a chance?

David’s exclusive livestream was mostly filled with David’s fans.

They were all watching the battle between David and the spectral dragon, so they did not pay attention to the other scene.

Anthony and Freda’s scene was in the main livestream. The audience could hear their conversation very clearly.

“Damn, these two are a match made in heaven.”

“Yeah, I’ve never met a man so hypocritical.”

“He makes it sound nice, but he’ll run faster than anyone when you need him.”

“Do you think such a man would take care of a woman like how Freda had done so for him if the woman was injured?”

“Haha, how is that possible? Such a selfish person would definitely think of himself first.”

Freda laughed dryly at Anthony’s words.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that Anthony was a little unfamiliar.

Inwardly, she even had the same thoughts as the viewers.

If she was the one who was injured, would he not give up like she hadn’t?

Anthony stood up slowly. “Let’s get moving first. It will be bad if the Specter Dragon catches up again.”

“Okay.” Freda leaned into his arms and hugged Anthony tightly. The suppressed emotions in her heart burst out.” I only have you left. I can only rely on you. Don’t abandon me.”

Anthony hugged her tightly. “What are you thinking? You didn’t abandon me when I was in trouble. How could I abandon you?”

Freda put her arms around him uneasily.

Anthony cupped Freda’s cheek and kissed her on the lips. “Baby, I love you.”

As if she’d been injected with vitality, Freda took the initiative to kiss him. “I love you too.”

At this moment, David was fighting the Specter Dragon.

After these few minutes of fighting, his stamina was slowly decreasing.

Just now, his left arm had been scratched by the sharp horn of the Spectral Dragon when he wasn’t cautious, leaving a bloody wound.

When the people in the livestream saw this scene, they became extremely tense.

They were all cheering for David. All of them.

They only hoped that he could defeat his enemy and live on smoothly.

Just as everyone was about to give up hope, the Spectral Dragon suddenly moved.

It turned its head to look towards the northwest direction, its eyes were bloodshot.

“Grrr…”

The spectral dragon let out a low growl. It ignored David, and dashed off towards the northwest.

David stood rooted to the ground, staring blankly in the direction where the Specter Dragon had disappeared. He was bewildered.

The livestream exploded.

“What’s going on? Why did the Specter Dragon run away?”

“Yeah, wasn’t it fine just now? Why did it suddenly run away?”

“You people still claimed that he didn’t cheat. If this isn’t cheating, what is it?”

“I think the organizers must have done it on purpose to put us on tenterhooks. In the end, nothing will happen.”

“I think so too. Otherwise, why would the Specter Dragon suddenly run away in such a dangerous situation?”

David wore a dumbfounded look. What was going on with the Spectral Dragon?

Why did it run away?

There was no host in the main livestream at this time. Ally and Wade had gone to rest.

The viewers were filled with questions. They had no idea what was going on.

Just then, Ally and Wade returned to the livestream.

They rubbed the swollen spot between their eyebrows and saw the comments in the livestream.

Wade sat on the stage and said, “Everyone, don’t be anxious. Let me check the situation first.”

They had already gone to rest, but who knew that something unexpected would happen.

The organizers did not know what was going on, and the audience doubted their truthfulness.

Hence they asked Wade to come forward to explain the situation to the viewers.

Ally calmed everyone down and signaled the director to show a sped-up replay of what had happened.

Wade quickly watched through the whole thing and saw that the livestream was full of confusion and question marks.

He revealed a confident smile. “Everyone, have you forgotten what I said during the day?”

The comments were all replying to his question with questions, not understanding what he meant.

“Spectral Dragons are very sensitive to emotions. After Anthony and Freda left, they had confided in each other and developed strong emotions.

“These emotions were captured by the Spectral Dragon, so it went towards its biggest target.”
