C419 Miserable screams

Su Wanyue quickly recovered from her reminiscing. She was sure that what she smelt was definitely blood, and in this vast wilderness, the smell of blood was definitely something very abnormal!

Moreover, even in the rain, the smell of blood was still very distinct. It should have just happened not long ago. On a rainy day, there were barely any animals in the mountain. Furthermore, Su Wanyue was certain that what she smelled was not some kind of animal's stench of blood. Then there was only one answer, and that was that the person in charge of surveillance at the top of the mountain had met with an accident. Or more accurately, they might have already been killed.

"Bloody?" Everyone present took a hard sniff at the air around them, but they still could not smell the stench of blood that Su Wanyue had mentioned.

"Yes!" Su Wanyue replied.

Su Wanyue carefully examined every nook and cranny of the mountain peak, trying to find any traces of blood within. But after a long time, she still could not find anything suspicious, as though everything was very natural, as if there was nothing unusual at all. This was slightly contradictory to her previous judgement, but the stench of blood was definitely not wrong.

"Pavilion master, why don't I take a look myself!" One of them raised his weapon and was about to walk forward. His goal was obvious. If there was an ambush in front of him, then trading his life for the others' survival was worth it.

"Wait, don't you think this mountain is too quiet?" Su Wanyue quickly stopped that person and her vigilance increased. She spoke to the rest with a hint of anxiety and certainty.

Su Wanyue had focused all her attention on the faintly discernable scent of blood just now. It was only when she was carefully observing the terrain that she noticed the difference on top of the mountain.

That kind of weird silence, with a kind of dead silence, which had nothing to do with the rustling sound caused by the leaves falling from the wind, or the popping sound caused by the rain, that kind of quiet seemed to come from the inside out, it was different from the peace that normally naturally came out, as if there was a kind of wild beast waiting for them in front, waiting for the right opportunity to make a move, waiting to swallow someone up.

"Quiet?" Everyone once again voiced out their questions in unison. On top of the mountain, wind and rain were interweaving and the sound of wind and rain were entering one's ears. How could the word 'quiet' be used to describe this? This should be a completely illogical place!

"That's right, it's so quiet that it makes people feel weird!" Su Wanyue replied with a nod of her head, but her tone was still firm.

"Hall Master, then... "Then what do we do now?" One of them quietly asked Su Wanyue.

"We don't know who we are!" We have to retreat first! " Su Wanyue replied indifferently. She also wanted to lead her men to explore the depths of the forest, but the enemy's strength was unknown, and they were well aware of the shadows, so this was a very disadvantageous situation. If she had boldly ordered her men to break in, then not only would she not be able to save the people inside, but she and her men would also be involved.

"Withdraw? But hall master, my people are still over there! "How about ?" The leading man's face was filled with shock. He quickly retorted with an indescribable anxiety and worry in his voice.

"It's useless. They probably have already sacrificed their lives!" Right now we have to retreat, the other side is sinister and very likely waiting for us, intruding into the enemy's trap! Do not act blindly! " Su Wanyue shook her head and advised the man.

Su Wanyue also wanted to go and save them, but if she gave the order to save them, how would she account to the people around her? They were also living beings! The most important thing now was to retreat. After she returned to Phoenix Creek Town, she had to immediately notify the Pavilion Master and dispatch a large number of experts there to rescue him. That would be the best plan.

"But ?" The guide wanted to say something, but was cut off by Su Wanyue the moment she opened her mouth.

"I said leave! Didn't you hear it? " Su Wanyue's unquestionable voice immediately rang out, and was somewhat cold, but it carried a wave of determination and anger.

"Yes!" Hall Master! " Everyone acknowledged the order. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Su Wanyue's decision was made for the sake of the living. Although they were not afraid of death, it did not mean that they would casually throw away their lives, so even if they had to die in the end, there was a meaning in dying.

Right now, the enemy's situation in the forest was unclear, and the fate of their comrades in the woods was unknown. In this kind of situation, even if they wanted to rush in recklessly, they still had to consider the final result. If they could save their comrades with their lives, they wouldn't hesitate at all, but if they couldn't, then was there any meaning to all this?

Other than that, if Su Wanyue were to use the smell of blood to determine that her fellow comrade in the forest had died, they would have to gather people to take revenge. If their judgement was wrong, then the people in the forest would at most still be monitoring them. If they sent their troops here again, then it would be time to capture those three people alive.

The order was already given, and Su Wanyue did not delay any longer as she hurriedly led her people to retreat down the mountain. Because she did not know the range of the enemy's trap, nor did she know how exactly they planned the ambush, so Su Wanyue did not dare delay any further. She faintly felt that if she and her group could successfully return to Phoenix Creek Town, then they would have truly escaped this calamity.

However, just as they were about to retreat, a loud scream pierced through the tranquil mountain, piercing through the drizzling rain and straight into their hearts.

"Hall Master, it should be Lil 'Six!" That's his voice. He's still alive! " The leading man suddenly spoke to Su Wanyue. A hint of pleasant surprise appeared on his face, as if he had heard the sound of nature.

"Are you sure?" Su Wanyue also heard the miserable cry, but at the same time, she felt that it was strange and couldn't help but to hesitate.

Earlier, he decisively ordered his men to retreat, it was because Su Wanyue had thought that the people responsible for monitoring the enemy in the forest were all dead, but after hearing the miserable scream, and knowing that it was her own men, Su Wanyue hesitated. In the face of this situation, she couldn't help but say that she was not going to save him, that was something she could not do, but what if she went to save him, what if she fell into their trap?

"I'm sure!" Because ?! " The leader nodded his head in confirmation, but then quickly became silent.

"Because of what?" Su Wanyue didn't like the feeling of wanting to say something, but was hesitant to do so, so she coldly asked.

"Because he is my brother, my own brother! I definitely wouldn't have misheard! " The leader looked at Su Wanyue with sadness in his eyes and explained.

Hearing that person's explanation, Su Wanyue's heart felt as if it had been struck by a huge rock and shook violently. Su Wanyue thought of his own little sister. If at this moment, her little sister was deeply immersed in the forest, would he still be so hesitant? The answer was clearly no!

Looking at the person in charge of leading the way, in his eyes, Su Wanyue seemed to see himself back then, protecting his own sister without a care for his own safety! Even though his opponent was extremely powerful, he didn't show the slightest signs of retreat.

Su Wanyue pondered for a long time before she suddenly turned to the hostage and asked angrily: "Why didn't you tell me where your brother is?!"

The leader of the group laughed miserably as he replied, "I don't want to go against the hall master's orders, and even more so, I don't want to see the hall master risking his life!"

He couldn't risk the life of the hall master for the sake of his little brother's safety. That was his only thought! Although it was a bit silly, it was very cute and simple! He was not a vile person who flattered others for the sake of becoming an official, nor was he a b * tch who destroyed her conscience for the sake of her career.

He was as honest and simple as an ordinary farmer who had toiled his entire life, giving up everything for the sake of others in order to honor his love.

"Cut the crap!" Since there are still people alive, we must get them out! " Su Wanyue's heart was thumping, she knew that even if she had ten thousand reasons to bring her people back, she would not do such a thing. Right now, she only wanted to be an emotional fool, recklessly following the emotional side of her heart.

There will be many choices in life. Among these choices, most people will choose to face reason, because to choose the path that best suits their interests is the most correct choice. However, this was not absolute. Even if the person was even more rational, he or she would still do something extremely shocking and impulsive at certain times.

This kind of impulse had nothing to do with a person's personality, nothing to do with their gender, and nothing to do with their age. Anyone who entered this kind of impulsive mode would not even think about the consequences. He wouldn't even think about whether he should do it or not! They would close their eyes and charge forward bravely. Whether it was right or wrong, whether it was worth it or not, it was all for that person! The irreplaceable person in his heart.

"Hall Master Xie!" But can the hall master please return first, I will personally lead people to rescue them! " The person in charge of leading the way, upon hearing Su Wanyue's words, immediately knelt down on one knee, and sincerely said to Su Wanyue.

He wanted to save his brother, who was in danger of death, but he couldn't let the entire Baishang lose their leader because he wanted to save someone. He wasn't afraid of death, at most he would just accompany his little brother on the road, and pulling so many brothers to take the risk was already very embarrassing. If he also buried this flower like girl in front of him, even if he died, how could he feel at ease?

"Shut up, I have the final say here, it's not up to you to order me around!" Su Wanyue coldly refused as his attitude was extremely resolute, to the point where he even had the determination to not turn back. Since ancient times, there had never been a reason to retreat and advance forward. Only when the soldiers advance and retreat together will they obtain the final victory.

The current Su Wanyue was the general of these people, if she were to choose to retreat, would she still be a general? Even if she were to return to Fengxi Town, she wouldn't have the face to be the hall master anymore. Su Wanyue's self-esteem did not allow her to do this, nor did her rationality allow her to do this. At this moment, her impulsive heart even more so did not permit her to do this.
