C123 Fleeing in the Woods

"You are right, my lord. I have learned my lesson!"

The man did not dare to refute the old man's words as he respectfully replied.

"Yes, there are some things that you will only understand after experiencing it. I can't blame you for that. You, not to mention you, even I can't be truly heartless. After all, they've followed me for such a long time. At least they have some feelings. But now, they're gone. "

With his hands behind his back, the old man sighed as he looked at another man. He said in a deep voice, "Ah Jiu, you should stay here and properly bury their corpses. This way, it wouldn't be a waste for you brothers. "

Ah Jiu immediately cupped his hands and replied, "Yes!"

The old man nodded and instructed the man who had performed the autopsy earlier. "Aaning, you have always been good at tracking, so you will follow me to chase that kid. There is no time to lose, let's go!"

Aaning hastily replied, "Yes. " He immediately took the lead and rushed in front of the old man. A ruthless expression also appeared on his face as he said, "Master, don't worry. As long as they are still in this forest, I guarantee that none of them will be able to escape. "

Hearing this, the old man immediately felt relieved. Among the five subordinates that followed him this time, only Aaning was the one who satisfied him the most. Not only was his cultivation base extraordinary, but his mind was also meticulous. His mind was also quite agile. He could usually calculate the direction of a person by looking at something as small as a leaf. It could be said to be marvelous, so for so many years. . . No matter what the target was, he had never failed. This was also the reason why every time the old man carried out a mission, he would always be by his side.

"Sir, look at the ground. It seems like someone left a footprint on it"

The old man also stopped when he heard this. He looked in the direction he pointed and indeed saw a shallow footprint on the ground.

Aaning said, "When I came here, I have already carefully looked around. The surrounding area is made of hard soil. There are very few sandy soil, just like this piece of land under our feet. If an ordinary person stepped on it, they would not leave any footprints behind. Furthermore, it has not rained for the past few days, and there is only one footprint. It was only the first half, so this subordinate speculated that this was definitely left behind by that brat when he brought His Highness up with all his might. Looks like they chose to pass through this dense forest from the tree. "

" That makes sense. "

The old man nodded in agreement. Then, he turned around and climbed up the tree. Sure enough, he found another footprint on the branch beside him.

"I found it. They really did walk on the tree. Hurry up and chase them. They must be in front of us!"

Through the layers of dense forest, the old man seemed to see a pair of men and women running away in panic. He could not help but feel energized. With a move of his feet, he quickly chased after them.

At the same time, in front of the two of them, a young man was also speeding through the trees. However, his speed seemed to be slightly slower than the two people behind him, because there was another person in the young man's arms.

The young man was Guxing, and the person in his arms was naturally Chu Rouer. As they rushed over at a rapid speed, the two of them did not encounter any danger. However, after walking on the trees for a long time, their bodies were covered with some small leaves. Their hair was also slightly messy due to the wind. At a glance, it seemed that they were somewhat in a sorry state.

"Rouer, how long more do we need before we can cross this forest?"

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Guxing asked with some worry.

Chu Rouer leaned against Guxing's chest and tilted her head to think for a while. She said softly, "This is the outer area of Heavenly Desolate City. I didn't walk this path when I came here, so I'm not very clear about it. But with our speed, it will take us at least four hours to get out of this forest. By then, the sky would have been so dark that we wouldn't be able to see anything, and we had been on the road for so long. Mr Yeh, you must be tired. Why don't we find a place to stop first? Rest your legs. Anyway, this place is so big. They won't be able to find us so easily. "

Guxing said. "No, I just got injured. The wounds on my body haven't healed yet. The stench of blood is too strong. Once they find me through the smell, it will be difficult for me to escape again. "

"Ah! It can't be, right?"

Chu Rouer opened her mouth wide and said in disbelief, "We have already run so far and they still haven't caught up to us. They must have lost us. Mr Yeh, don't scare yourself anymore. Take a rest. "

"Rouer, you have underestimated their abilities. "

Seeing that she had underestimated her opponent, Guxing could not help but sigh and say, "The enemies this time are different from the ones we killed on the way back to the inn. They are stronger than those people, especially the old man. I have a feeling that if he attacks again. . . I'm afraid I won't even be able to take one strike. And now. . . They might have already caught up to us, right behind us. "

It had to be said that Guxing's intuition was really that accurate and terrifying.

Behind the two of them, the old man and Aaning had already caught up to them. As time passed, the distance between the two groups of people gradually shortened.

"Ah! Behind us! Where is it? Where is it? "

Chu Rouer heard him say something behind him. She struggled to sit up from Guxing's arms and turned around to look.

"Alright, stop moving. There's nothing else after this. I'm talking about later. "

Guxing forced her head back and explained in a low voice.

"Humph, what? Mr Yeh is lying again, a liar. "

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Then she rolled her beautiful eyes and said angrily, "You are so naughty. You only know how to scare Rouer. Hmph, bad guy. I won't bother with you anymore. "

"Uh. "

Guxing didn't understand why his kind reminder made him a liar and a bad guy. He immediately said in an angry and funny tone. "You are really heartless. I will kindly remind you, but you still don't appreciate it. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but you still dare to slander me. What a stubborn addiction. You deserve a beating. "

As he spoke, he patted Chu Rouer's butt with all his might. When had the little girl ever received such treatment before? Her face immediately turned red. Fortunately, due to the sky, she was unable to see it. Only then did Chu Rouer let out a sigh of relief. After that, she softly muttered. "Hmph, rogue, you only know how to take advantage of others. . . "

"En? What did you say?"

With Guxing's hearing, he could easily hear what she was saying. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he was about to flick her head, she screamed and dodged him. Then she pretended to be fierce and made a face at Guxing. She was not intimidating enough and was cute enough.

"Alright, stop messing around. If you don't want to be caught, just lie in my arms and don't move. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't throw you out of here. Without you, I will definitely be able to run faster. "

Clenching his hands tightly, Guxing pretended to be angry and threatened coldly.

However, Chu Rouer clearly did not fall for his trick and slightly arched her body towards his embrace. The little girl narrowed her eyes and lazily said. "Alright. Anyway, I am tired of running anyway. I might as well let Mr Yeh hand me over to them. It will save me the trouble of running around and getting tired. I can't even sleep well. "

As he spoke, he yawned again. He almost couldn't open his eyes.

"Alright. If you are tired, you can sleep for a while. Mr Yeh is here. "

"Yes. " The little girl rubbed her eyes and was just about to fall asleep when she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly woke up. She puckered her little mouth and said, "Mr Yeh, I was playing with you just now. Don't really hand Rouer over to those bad people. "

"Ha!"

When he saw her serious appearance, Guxing instantly felt that he was completely defeated.
