2899: C2899 A Small Path

C2899 A Small Path

Reality is cruel.

Alvin and the others had been on their way ever since they entered the forest. They had never stopped, even though they had increased their speed to the maximum. However, they were still able to walk out of the forest before dawn.

When Alvin and the others arrived at the edge of the woods, it was already dawn. They looked out from afar and saw many Flaming Wind Kingdom soldiers outside. The formation was there, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed in the direction of the forest. Obviously, they were waiting for them to show up.

"Captain, what should we do?" A team member asked Ali curiously.

Ali Qi's face was very ugly, very heavy. The current situation was very unfavorable to them. Although they successfully escaped the enemy's pursuit last night, however, they weren't completely safe, and they only had a chance to catch their breath... And now, they had clearly fallen into a hopeless situation once again.

What should they do?

This was the thought that had constantly surfaced in Ali's mind. He did not know what to do either.

Should he forcefully charge out?

This was clearly a method, but they definitely had to pay a price. Furthermore, looking at the preparations of the enemies outside, the price they had to pay wasn't small.

Then stay in this forest?

This was also a solution. Moreover, it seemed very safe. After all, the enemies were only blocking the outside and did not intend to enter the forest.

However, this seemingly feasible solution was actually no different from waiting for death.

Although this forest was very large, it could allow them to temporarily avoid the enemy's pursuit. However, they could not stay in this forest forever. Because here, they had no food, no water. As time went on, there was no need for the enemy to attack. They themselves had already died in this forest.

Thus, it was also impossible to stay in the forest.

"Captain, let's break out of the encirclement." Alvin said, "I know this is very dangerous, but staying here... We are even more dangerous. The enemy can't do it in one night. Seal this place completely, completely airtight. We will definitely be able to find their weak point of defense. If we continue to stay in this forest... Then, we will definitely be trapped to death. This is the enemy's territory... They will send troops to this place continuously. At that time, we will be completely trapped here. We can't get out of here, we don't have food and water in here. We won't be able to last long either."

"Yes, captain. Let's break out of here!" Another team member also said. Obviously, he agreed with Alvin's words. Staying here was only temporary safety, but they would lose all hope of escaping in the end.

The other team members also had similar thoughts.

Ali Qi was still somewhat indecisive, because breaking out of the encirclement was not a good idea either. Although they would not be trapped here and die, the casualties would not be small either.

However, other than breaking out of the encirclement, there seemed to be no other way.

"I know that there is a small path leading out of this forest." Angus, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

"What tricks are you trying to pull again?" Alvin asked. He didn't have a good impression of Angus, so he didn't believe any of Angus's words.

"Let him continue." Ali Qi stopped Alvin from reprimanding Angus.

"I am now on the same line as you guys. You all know this very well, and I also know it very well." Angus said.

No one said anything, but they all agreed with what he said in their hearts.

Previously, when Angus's guards caught up to him, they had only followed him from behind and had no intention of shooting at him. However, when the new pursuers appeared, they immediately shot at them. They did not even say a word to surrender. It was obvious that... * Hong Long...... *

Ali Qi and the others understood this point, and so did Angus. That was why Angus said that they were all on the same line. No one could run away from each other. If they were to die, they would die together with each other. If they were to live together, they would live together.

"Continue." Ali Qi said to Angus. His tone wasn't very good either. Although he had stopped Alvin, it didn't mean that he had a good impression of Angus. In fact, he also hated Angus very much. Angus was their target for this trip. If that wasn't the case... He had already killed Angus more than ten times.

"I know that path. I have trained with my men in the woods. So, I know that path, and that path... Not many people know about it, even if those people know about it... I don't think they'll pay too much attention to it. " Angus said.

"Alright, lead the way. Remember, don't try anything funny." Ali Qi said.

Angus nodded and glanced at Alvin. Then, he led the way.

Ali Qi quickly called his team members to follow. They were now... There was no good way. They could only choose to trust Angus for the time being. Of course, they didn't completely trust Angus. They were still wary of him in their hearts. Once they realized that something was wrong, they would immediately control Angus. At that time, the only thing they could choose was to break out of the encirclement by force.2

Fortunately, Angus did not play any tricks. Instead, he led the way in front of them.

In fact, after Angus saw the troops of the guards outside through the gaps between trees, he already knew who was trying to harm him. He guessed Dawn's identity.

Angus knew very well that with his relationship with Dawn, Dawn would never let him go easily. Therefore... At this moment, Angus was looking for ways to protect himself. He wasn't the only one who would help the Fengji Country. Naturally, he wouldn't dare to play any tricks at this time.

He didn't want to die for Ali Qi and the others, but for himself. At least for now, he didn't want to die.

Soon, under Angus's lead, they arrived in front of a narrow path. Without much hesitation, they followed Angus onto this path.

The path was very remote, and it was filled with weeds. Obviously, this was a path that no one had walked on before. Angus hadn't lied to them before, which had given them a lot of hope.

They followed the path and finally, an hour later. They reached the edge of the forest, and at this moment... They passed through the gaps between the trees. Once again, they saw soldiers standing guard outside. But... The number of soldiers here was much fewer than the previous places.
