C244 Red Rift Cannon Fist
Jiang Chen asked. He wanted to understand Wang Han's thoughts first.
He and Fu Shidong would be at a dead end here. Wang Han was the only lifeline they could grab.
"I don't have many ways to go about it either. If we're talking about stupid ways, we can always wait here to see if the fog will disperse as soon as possible. If it can, then we can leave."
Wang Han did not seem to have any confidence, and the method he told Ye Zichen was also very weak.
Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong did not say anything. This method was obviously not feasible.
Jiang Chen looked around and signaled Fu Shidong to stay put. He then climbed up the tree trunk behind him.
All the trees here had been growing for many years, and the thinnest one even had a person hugging it.
The tree that Jiang Chen climbed was at least a big one that the two of them were hugging, so it was easy for him to bear the weight of just one person.
Jiang Chen used all his strength to quickly reach the top of the tree.
The tree trunk could no longer bear his weight, so this position was the limit.
Jiang Chen held the branch with both hands and looked down. He could not see anything clearly from the thick fog, but judging from the time he was climbing, he was at least 25 to 30 meters away from the ground.
Looking around from such a high distance, it was still shrouded in fog. However, the fog had weakened a lot.
He looked around for a moment, then slowly climbed back to the ground.
"I have an idea."
After returning to the surface, Jiang Chen brought a piece of good news.
"What method?"
Fu Shidong and Wang Han looked at him at the same time with expectation in their eyes.
We can use the tree trunk as a road sign. I climbed up to see, as long as we were two or three meters higher, the treetop could pass through the fog and reach the top layer of the fog, so we could tie some branches to the treetops and make the shape of an arrow. Then we could walk a distance, climb onto the treetop and make a mark.
While Jiang Chen was speaking, he had some other ideas, or rather, a flash of inspiration, in his mind.
When Fu Shidong and Wang Han heard this, they felt that this method was indeed feasible. The reason why they got lost in the primeval forest was because there was no sun to guide them in the right direction. Secondly, they had to walk under the treetops.
Therefore, what Jiang Chen said about marking the top of the tree was indeed very feasible.
Even if it was more troublesome, it was still better than being trapped here and dying.
Wang Han and Fu Shidong did the signposts under the tree, then Jiang Chen put on the treetop and tied the branches to the top of the treetop with a rope woven from tree bark.
Although it was quite complicated, there was still hope.
The three of them spent a day and gradually walked to a place where the fog was thin.
Here, Wang Han could totally rely on his many years of experience as a hunter to bring the three out of here by using the position of the sun.
"Brother, I want to discuss something with you!"
In the evening, the three gathered around the fire to roast some steamed buns.
The steamed bun had a layer of golden yellow skin. Although there were no dishes, it was still quite tasty.
"Is what you're trying to say related to those people!"
Wang Han had already guessed Jiang Chen's thoughts. Originally, they could have walked out of the Misty Forest today, but Jiang Chen made them slow down, make them hide the roadside even more, and even left some messy symbols on the surrounding trees that couldn't be marked. These actions were all meaningless.1
But since he did that, it meant that these meaningless actions were definitely useful. When he thought of the support team, the answer was obvious.
"Hm!" Their goal is the same as us, so sooner or later there will be a fierce battle, those people have guns, no matter if it's a sneak attack or a battle, we are no match for them, so we can only set traps to trap them, and this Misty Forest is the best natural trap.
Jiang Chen said word by word. He told Wang Han about this in advance because he was afraid that Wang Han would have some objections.
After all, these were human lives. These lives would soon be lost because of these three people, so it would be hard for most people to accept this.
If Wang Han revealed his fear at the critical moment, it would not only be his safety, but also the three of them.
Fu Shidong looked at Wang Han with a calm gaze, waiting for his reply.
Of the three, he was definitely in cahoots with Jiang Chen, regardless of whether he killed those people or took the Red Jade Dew Fruit.
Therefore, all the decisions were transferred to Wang Han. It all depended on how he decided.
"I have no objections. It all depends on your decision."
Wang Han's gaze looked at the jumping bonfire in front of him and his voice remained calm.
At this point, everyone's decision was not only about their own life and death.
Jiang Chen did this for the safety of the three of them. Even though he was conflicted, he thought of what those people had done before. They had to do something they were unwilling to do in order to protect themselves.
"Alright, then let's do it this way …!"
Seeing Wang Han nod his head, Jiang Chen didn't hesitate to share his thoughts.
… ….
In the forest, the spearmen were sitting around a rock and cooking a bonfire.
The middle-aged man and the man who had always been following him sat at a distance, eating fast food while whispering to each other.
Uncle Ming, those three people before were the same as us, all heading towards that place. Moreover, the leader is quite skilled, the way he was being held hostage by us before, I also feel like he's a practitioner.
The Uncle Ming he spoke of was naturally a middle-aged man.
His real name was Jia Yuming. Although he looked to be in his thirties, he was in his forties. However, because of his good maintenance, he looked exceptionally young.
"Genji, what do you think of the three's strength? Or, if we were to fight with them, what are our chances of winning?"
Jia Yuming said with a hint of profoundness in his eyes.
"If it's us, then the probability is about 70%. If you help us, then the chance of winning will increase to 90%."
He has followed beside Jia Yuming for almost five years. Although it is rare for Uncle Ming to make a move, every time he makes a move, it would be like a shock to the heavens as no opponent could block Uncle Ming's technique. Moreover, Uncle Ming has a senior brother at the peak of the Yuqi behind him, and the unfathomably mysterious uncle Ming's master.
It was said that the reason he came here to look for it was also for Uncle Ming's master, so it could be seen how powerful this sect was.
"Ha!" Heh! Why didn't you include that ten percent chance of victory? I want to hear what you think. "
Uncle Ming smiled, neither praising nor refuting his words.
"That ten percent is considered a variable. Since we entered this place, there have been countless variables appearing one after another."
