"Now, listen to me. Send two men to make the raft. The other three, including me, will do something else. As for Knight Bill and the other two, they will be responsible for making preparations for crossing the river. Right, If you have any extra time, it is best to prepare the two rabbits. Congratulations, you will taste a delicacy that has never been enjoyed on this continent before. . . " Lee Xiang tried his best to make his tone sound relaxed. . . . "Of course, if the pursuers arrive ahead of time, This isn't a big deal, then we'll split up and retreat. We'll meet up at the border of the river and in the Silo Province. . . " Lee Xiang did not explain further. "Alright, there is not much time left. If we have not completed these tasks after the enemy has caught up with us, I am afraid we will have to stay in the forest. . . "

These words were more powerful than any other words. They immediately began to move.

A raft that was enough for three people was very simple. Therefore, Lee Xiang directly brought the other three guards along. He still had more important things to do.

Ever since he entered this forest, he had a very strange discovery along the way. In this forest, there was a very strange tree. Not only was the tree slender and straight, even the branches and leaves were extremely straight. It was just like the bamboo in his previous life. However, there were no such branches, so of course, they were much thicker. It seemed to have been manually modified. In addition, he also discovered that although his bodyguards carried crossbows, there were not many arrows in their crossbows boxes. It was estimated that there were only around ten arrows. In addition to the losses on the way, there weren't many arrows left. Thus, he needed them to replenish their bows and arrows to deal with the following matters. He had also asked Bill before. This kind of tree was suitable for making bows and arrows. As a result, when they were running away, Bill casually folded a tree and tested it. After that, he was full of praise. It was even comparable to the bows and arrows made by the craftsmen. This result made Lee Xiang very happy. At the same time, it made Bill and the other guards gasp in amazement.

Of course, this was only one of the surprises. There was another crucial point, which was where Bill had broken the branch. Lee Xiang found a thick green liquid. This liquid also had a faint pungent smell. Bill and the others were knights, so they might not have found anything strange about this green liquid, but Lee Xiang was different. Don't forget that he was the only student of Reynolds, the most strange archmage on the continent. Since he was a student of a mage. . . Then he'll have some basic knowledge of magic potions, although he just came into contact with them not too long ago. But for a smart person, this actually did not hinder anything. Based on intuition, Lee Xiang felt that this green liquid was very unusual. So he used a rabbit to do an experiment midway. He smeared this green liquid on the rabbit's leg. Of course, he made a small wound on the rabbit's leg.

As expected, the rabbit had not been able to stand up until now. It could only open its eyes and look around. He could foresee that. . . The green liquid in the trees had a very strong anaesthesia, but unfortunately. . . Lee Xiang could not test it further. The main thing was that he could not test it with humans. Besides, the rabbit could not speak, or else it would tell Lee Xiang what other functions this liquid had.

Lee Xiang's goal was very simple. He needed bows and arrows. He needed a lot of bows and arrows. These arrows with anesthesia were the best choice. When they walked back to the river, Bill and the others were walking back and forth. Obviously, they were a little worried.

Lee Xiang noticed that the raft had been placed by the river and could reach the other side of the river at any time. To be honest, as long as they could get there smoothly, they could escape successfully. But in the end, Lee Xiang gave up this tempting idea.

Seeing the freshly made bows and arrows on Lee Xiang and the others' backs, Bill immediately showed an inquiring look.

Lee Xiang smiled and said, "Alright, we have worked hard for the whole day. I think we should do something meaningful now. Before that, it would be best to have a sumptuous dinner. Luckily. We have two rabbits here! "

Lee Xiang ignored their confused looks and walked to the side. He piled up the firewood that he had picked up earlier and cast a magic fireball to light them up. He then placed the rabbit that he had prepared earlier on top of the fire and slowly roasted it.

To be honest, Bill was already very angry at this moment. Because in his opinion, this Baron really seemed to be out on an outing. One should know that it was late at night, because there was no good way to tell which direction they were heading to. Therefore, they could make good use of this to escape, but this Baron didn't seem to be worried at all. It was fine for him to escape openly during the day, but at this moment, he still calmly lit the torch. Didn't he tell the pursuers that he and the others were here? Or did he not know how to command blindly? If he took advantage of this moment to cross the river as early as possible, They would be able to safely return to the Silo Province by noon tomorrow. How wonderful would that be?

"Alright. . . Sigh, it smells really good!" Lee Xiang laughed happily. He even closed his eyes and sniffed with pleasure. Then, he tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Bill.

"Master. . . " Bill did not reach out to take the rabbit leg from Lee Xiang. He suppressed his anger and said, "Don't you think we are wasting time? Time is money to us right now! "

"Don't you think that Knight Bill is a coward after being chased by others? Don't you think we should get some interest for the lives of those people who died for no reason?" Lee Xiang replied with a faint smile.

Everyone was slightly startled, and their eyes immediately revealed anger. Obviously, they had been provoked by Lee Xiang's words. They had been running around for almost the whole day, and had basically forgotten the honor of being a knight. Lee Xiang's words had awakened the shame and shame in their hearts.

"That's right. As long as we can smoothly cross the river, I have the confidence to leave this place. But are you willing? Are you willing to be hunted down like this?"

" Sir, what do you want to do? You have to know. . . "

"Of course I want to retaliate, take revenge, and take revenge for those guards who died protecting me!" Lee Xiang smiled faintly, but a strange smile flashed across his face. That's right. . . Although the other side had more people, And their strength was more than one level higher than Lee Xiang's. But he couldn't just watch these guards die in order to protect him. The most useless thing was that he actually didn't know who the other side was? This was absolutely unforgivable. If he knew who these people were, he could still tolerate it. He definitely wouldn't take such a risk to do such a thing. After all, he was not afraid of having no firewood to burn if he kept Qingshan around. Even if there were only a few clues, he would not do such a thing. Because intuition told him. . . If he didn't make things clear this time, it would be like burying a time bomb by his side at any time. His life could be taken at any time in the future. So he had to investigate this matter thoroughly.

After so many years of being under house arrest, he had a reason to tell him that there were many things that you wouldn't just tolerate and shrink back and others would let you go. On the contrary, they will become even more violent and bully you. So at the crucial moment, you must show your muscles appropriately to tell others that you also have strength. This is a basic way of survival. In the past, he would have no choice but to do so because he did not have the right to do so. However, it was different now. Although he didn't have many chips in his hands, However, there was one thing that was certain. Up until now, he had the final say. That was enough.

"So, we have a lot of things to do next. What is more important now than filling our stomachs? I know that we have fewer people now. Hmm. . . Seven against fifty, this ratio is a little imbalanced. However, you must remember, opportunities are always given to prepared people! Before that, I have been preparing since I entered this forest. So. . . Now is the time to collect some interest!"
