Austin knew that even if Marvin didn't have strong vital energy, he couldn't easily break the latter's defense.
Furthermore, Marvin had a low-grade fairy weapon so Austin would have no chance to win if they ever fight.
"Runaway? But why should I? I had a hard time fighting those evil apes, so I won't be that silly to escape.
Do you know why I am here?"
Austin asked with a sly smile.
Suddenly, Marvin felt like something hit his brain.
Like there was an invisible needle pricking his brain and the pain was unbearable.
While he was distracted by the sudden pain, Austin said sarcastically, "You're not strong enough to stop me!"
With that, Austin moved toward the valley.
Marvin was shocked and angry at the same time. He shouted, "If you dare to enter the valley, you're dead!"
When Marvin recovered from the pain, Austin had already been several hundred feet away from him and was moving toward the valley with incredible speed.
Marvin was furious and went all out to go after Austin.
Austin was clear he was no match for Marvin for now so it would be best to avoid any unnecessary fight with him. Besides, his only purpose for coming to the Beast Mountain was to get the earth spirit fruits.
That was why he had taken out the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle to disturb Marvin's mind before rushing toward the valley.
As he went deeper the valley, Austin found the road was getting narrower. Brambles, swamps and jagged rocks of grotesque shapes were everywhere.
The view was also not clear because of the mist around.
The mist made the countless towering old trees along the valley look like giants looking down on him.
Austin rushed forward as swiftly as a giant bird skimming over.
'Fuck! How can he move so fast?'
Despite using the Wind-commanding skill, Austin was surprised to see Marvin catching up to him at a fast pace.
Austin just realized that the Wind-commanding Skill had a weakness. Although it could make him agile, it had no advantage in speed when it came to the long-distance running.
After all, such long-distance running required a lot of vital energy.
If a person didn't have enough vital energy, even if he was agile, his vital energy would dry out and his speed would decrease gradually.
Marvin seemed to have found out that too. He said with a smirk, "Let's see how far you could run!"
He then activated his vital energy and transformed into a faint shadow chasing Austin.
In no time, the distance between them was only several hundred meters.
At his current speed, Austin felt that his vital energy was almost at its limit. Eventually, he wouldn't be able to hold on for a long time.
On the contrary, Marvin still looked energetic. He kept on sneering at Austin to distract him and was almost about to catch up with the latter.
After passing over a thicket of brambles that rose above the head, Austin saw a vast marsh lake, billowing with turbid bubbles and emanating the miasma.
In the middle of the marsh lake, there was a small piece of flat space on which several green plants grew.
There were more than twenty soft-glowing white round fruits on the green plants. They seemed to be sensitive.
Although Austin had never seen them before, he knew that these should be the earth spirit fruits.
His heart jumped wildly with excitement.
Floating over the marsh lake, Austin stopped beside the earth spirit fruit trees.
"The earth spirit fruits!"
Marvin had caught up with Austin and found the earth spirit fruits too. He was so excited that he cried out.
Of course, Austin wouldn't give up his chance to others.
He quickly acted and used both his hands and his feet to break off the fruit-bearing branches and put them into the Space Ring without even looking at them.
"How dare you!"
