C762 Deciduous Forest
The sun was blocked by the dense shade of the trees, so not much sunlight could reach the ground. Therefore, it was very dark inside an ancient forest in the mountain range, which was more advantageous for Lee Hongtian and the others to escape.
Only after an hour did Lee Hongtian and the others stop.
"Is the route correct?" Lee Hongtian said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xiaowei nodded as she gasped for air, "That's right, as long as they reach the level of Nightless City, they won't dare to be presumptuous anymore."
"Who the hell are they?" Lee Hongtian asked.
Zhao Xiaowei's eyes carried a trace of disgust, and her tone was also filled with disdain, "A group of people who are unwilling to join Chu Family, and cause trouble in this area."
Lee Hongtian's eyes narrowed, as he was unwilling to join Chu Family, wouldn't that be the same as him?
This woman in front of him, is she someone from the Chu Family? Or could it be just following Chu Family? Was what she said about the identity of the Nightless City doctor true?
No matter what, he could not reveal that he and Chu Family were enemies, if not he would become enemies with them.
Lee Hongtian stood beside an ancient tree and leaned against it. This group of people were also a bit tired. After all, running on two legs and spending so much Zhen Qi to speed up was something that most people would be tired of.
He looked at the road he had come from and did not see the people riding the tiger. He also did not sense any movement or aura, so he could not help but gradually relax.
"Where are we now?" His current questions were no less than when he first arrived at Donglan Sea.
"This is also the second thing I plan to say. Although the route isn't too far off, but if I'm not wrong, further ahead should be the Fallen Leaves Forest. It's been covered by fallen leaves all year round, so I can't see the path under my feet."
Lee Hongtian became silent. What Zhao Xiaowei meant was that once they entered the forest in front, it would be hard to get out.
As for those traps, he did not place them in his eyes.
"Since that's the case, then just go in. Don't rest." Lee Hongtian said in a deep voice.
Those people would leave behind their scent, and those people riding the tiger would definitely be able to catch up to them. Just like how they had previously found them, they couldn't stay here for long.
However, just as he finished this sentence, the ground still slightly trembled and a threatening aura rushed into Lee Hongtian's senses.
Just as Zhao Xiaowei and her men were about to speak, Lee Hongtian directly said, "They're chasing us. If you don't want to die, then hurry up and leave."
After saying that, he took the lead to rush into the forest. Zhao Xiaowei also felt the slight tremble in the ground when she heard his words, so she quickly chased after Mo Yanrann.
However, when Lee Hongtian, Zhao Xiaowei, and the others rushed in first, they could already see the shadow of the group of tigers behind them. Furthermore, they were closing in extremely fast.
"Them!" The moment Zhao Xiaowei said this word, Lee Hongtian immediately covered her mouth and quickly brought her into the Fallen Leaves Forest.
As for the others, they would just leave it up to fate. This wasn't like playing house, as they had to pay the price for their actions.
After they entered, the group of people that rode the tiger completely killed them all. They did not follow them in, as if they were afraid of something.
Lee Hongtian looked back and saw this scene. He was also thinking.
This group of people couldn't possibly be afraid of the trap they dug here, so what were they afraid of?
However, Lee Hongtian did not dare to slow down at all. He took advantage of the pause of those people and went straight into the depths.
Indeed, those people did not catch up. After sensing this, Lee Hongtian ran a distance into the Fallen Leaves Forest and stopped.
However, there were only the two of them left now. The others had either been killed or had escaped.
After all, Lee Hongtian's speed was not something they could compare to, and he couldn't stop and wait for someone while running. Thus, Mo Yanrann was left behind by him just like that.
Some had the intention to do it unintentionally, while others had the intention to do it intentionally.0
"How do we go now?" Lee Hongtian was not familiar with this place, so he could only ask Zhao Xiaowei who was beside him.
However, Zhao Xiaowei also shook her head. After all, even she didn't know what to do now. "The Fallen Leaves Forest isn't dangerous because the footprints will be destroyed by the fallen leaves. After all, we don't rely on footprints to find our way."
"In this Fallen Leaves Forest, there is a vortex of fallen leaves, and the shape of the forest will also change because of this vortex. Even if we were to continue walking in the same direction, we might not even be able to make it out. "And, once we meet a whirlpool, there won't even be a corpse left behind."
Lee Hongtian touched his forehead and felt a headache. It really happened again before the battle even started. No wonder the group of people outside did not dare to come in.
Wouldn't that mean that the two of them were in grave danger? If they were lucky, there was still a chance of survival. If they were unlucky, they would run into this whirlpool.
"Forget it, that group of people is waiting outside. We should walk further in and see if we can walk out of the forest from the other side." After all, this was a choice made between life and death. He had to be responsible for himself, and also for the woman beside him who saved his life.
Zhao Xiaowei listened attentively to his words, and without saying anything further, she followed him into the depths of the Fallen Leaves Forest.
However, Lee Hongtian was surprised to find out that there were no strange beasts on the way. Although this was good news, in the current situation, he could not be happy.
At this moment, in the middle of the five ancient trees, the leaves of the huge fan-shaped old tree started to spin without any warning. Lee Hongtian and Zhao Xiaowei also noticed the unusual movement at the same time.
Lee Hongtian was alright, he was still a distance away from the fallen leaves that had already formed a whirlpool. Zhao Xiaowei, on the other hand, was different. She was on the edge of the whirlpool.
"What kind of luck is this …" Lee Hongtian cursed in his heart.
The gale was just like a whirlpool as it became violent without any warning. The wind was so strong that if Lee Hongtian hadn't stabbed his sword into the ancient tree, he would have been blown away by the gale.
At the same time, the whirlpool on the ground did not seem to have any intention of calming down either. The suction from the whirlpool was much more violent than that of the gale.
Under Lee Hongtian's gaze, it only took Zhao Xiaowei an instant to see Zhao Xiaowei being engulfed by the whirlpool.
"Mr Lee, run! Don't worry about me!" Zhao Xiaowei let out a loud shout the moment she was swallowed by the vortex.
Lee Hongtian's face was as dark as stagnant water. He never thought that the interior would be like this. No wonder Left Eye kept warning him.
