Chapter 1359: Chapter 1345: Let Fate Decide Chapter 1359: Chapter 1345: Let Fate Decide Guo Yuyun charged forward, but the Wolf King had already disappeared into the dense jungle. She anxiously looked at ng Xiuluo and asked, “Why didn’t you stop him?”
“Didn’t you see we were all blown away?” ng Xiuluo said coldly, still feeling sore in her hand, probably due to the shock wave from earlier.
“Hurry up, we must chase after him.”
“It’s no use catching up; we’ve already tried our best.”
“What do you an, tried? Are you going to just let him go?” Guo Yuyun herself was at a loss, her martial arts not very advanced, but she seed to be better than the few followers around the flounder, especially when setting up a formation, capable of facing off against the Wolf King for a bit.
ng Xiuluo was very clear that at this mont, the magic power had not taken control of Ye Chen; otherwise, the Wolf King would not have fled so quickly. She said, “We’ve already caused the magic power to be greatly depleted. Whether he can survive and control the magic power without succumbing to madness depends on fate now.” The Silver Needle just now also counted as giving the cheap guy an assist; that was all she could do.
“You must have a way, right? Just think of sothing to help.”
“I have no way, didn’t you see all of my people are injured?” She walked towards those few old n and added, “How are you guys, no life-threatening injuries right?”
The sound of coughing ca incessantly; it seed there were no serious injuries.
Guo Yuyun said, “We can’t just ignore him like this.”
“I’ve done all that I can. If he can make it through, he will; if not, it’s his fate, and we can’t help him.” ng Xiuluo called Xiang Yi over and commanded, “Release the hunting dogs.”
Xiang Yi understood ng Xiuluo’s intention; she wanted the hunting dogs to track, and if that guy really went mad, they would know it sooner.
ng Xiuluo continued, “Hurry to the forest. Even though we’ve shaken off Ling Li and the others, no one knows if they’ve given up on the search. They might continue to look for us.” It would be dangerous if they knew she had brought people onto the island. She added, “Rember, leave no traces that could expose us.”
Guo Yuyun kept praying, restless and hopping about, yet unable to help in any way.
“I advise you not to run around recklessly. I don’t know what’s in the woods. If you end up alone and encounter trouble, no one can help you. Even if you find that boy, it’s useless. If he doesn’t release the energy from his body, he won’t be able to control the magic power. If you’re unlucky, he really might bite you, and then I can’t guarantee what will beco of you.”
ng Xiuluo looked ahead to a canyon that seed capable of providing temporary shelter from the wind and rain; pointing to the front, she said, “Alright, let’s rest up ahead.”
Xiang Yi had people prepare food and others to survey the island.
For ng Xiuluo, of course, it wasn’t a big deal; if the monkey went crazy, she could just kill him and then take the Wolf King’s Ring. But for Guo Yuyun, such an outco was absolutely unacceptable.
The heavy rain had stopped, but a light rain continued to drift down, and the constant pitter-patter of droplets didn’t seem like it would stop anyti soon.
ng Xiuluo also let out a sigh of relief. It had not been easy to escape the danger; naturally, she felt much more relaxed now. It looked like this was a deserted island, an ideal place to hide for the ti being.
Who isn’t afraid of death? To co to the Dark Sea Territory directly to look for soone, it was estimated that if Ling Li searched for half a day with no results, he would likely leave soon, and then she could take refuge on the island.
“Ling Li would never imagine that we are hiding on the island,” said Xiang Yi, glancing around at the high climbing vines, which were thick due to the abundant moisture, making the plants grow bountifully. “Just find an opportunity and climb for your life,” she thought, noticing so trees reaching up to seven or eight Zhang, uncertain of how many years they had grown.
The monkeys in the forest clamored tirelessly, flitting through the treetops.
Xiang Yi still felt sowhat reassured and said, “People from the Thirty-six Islands will definitely not enter the Dark Sea Territory.”
A subordinate behind her remarked, “Even if they aren’t afraid of danger and co into the Dark Sea Territory, what can they do? There are hundreds, if not thousands, of islands in the Dark Sea Territory; they don’t have the manpower to search them one by one.”
“Hurry and get the food ready. Make sure everyone stays vigilant; who can guarantee that they won’t just happen to co to this deserted island?” ng Xiuluo was much more cautious than others.
Xiang Yi shook her head, “They also won’t know that we are on the island; we have already eliminated all traces.”
“Fine, prepare the food. After eating, let everyone rest. We also need to figure out how to build a boat,” ng Xiuluo instructed.
Xiang Yi nodded slightly, “That’s true. We’re in the Dark Sea Territory; there won’t be any ships coming here. We have to find our own way out.”
“Good that you understand. When the ti cos, summon all of our shipbuilders and carpenters.”
“Understood,” Xiang Yi left.
ng Xiuluo leaned against a cliff, gulping down water; it must be noon by now, though it felt like morning.
This was a large island, and Guo Yuyun didn’t know where Ye Chen had run off to. She was very anxious and approached ng Xiuluo, asking, “You just sent out the hunting dogs, they should be tracking Ye Chen, right?”
“You should stop jumping around; it’s useless. If he really can make it, naturally, you two will et. If he succumbs to madness, you can’t help. It’s best to stay as far away as possible.”
“No, no, it won’t happen. He will definitely get through this, he must,” she insisted.
“Having the Wolf King’s Ring, you should have anticipated that such a day might co,” ng Xiuluo took another sip of water, then added, “We’ll talk more after dusk.”
By that ti, he will either have controlled the magic power or fallen into madness.
Guo Yuyun never expected such a mont to arrive so suddenly. Just this morning, there had been laughter and talk, and then in an instant, it all turned serious. She couldn’t believe that all this was actually happening. Her mind was in chaos, not knowing what to do, just utterly confused.
Ti flew by quickly.
Before she knew it, the rain had stopped, it must be dusk, Guo Yuyun finally waited until dusk, that girl had said that after dusk, she would help to look for him.
A few people returned at that mont, heading towards ng Xiuluo. Guo Yuyun rembered clearly that they were the ones ng Xiuluo had sent out, carrying hunting dogs to presumably track down Ye Chen.
She hurried over, grabbed one of the guys, and asked, “Did you find him?”
The young man replied, “We only know he entered a mountain cave.”
“Did he control the magic power?”
“We don’t know, we didn’t go into the cave; the hunting dogs entered and didn’t co back.”
Guo Yuyun’s eyes widened, not sure what his last statent ant, she hurriedly asked again, “Didn’t he co out of the cave?”
“He hadn’t co out when we left.”
“And you just abandoned him and ca back?” ng Xiuluo seed sowhat reproachful, almost as if she wanted to kill soone.
“We left two people behind and then returned. They will watch the cave entrance.”
ng Xiuluo woke up and happened to hear their conversation.
Guo Yuyun was extrely anxious, worried that the girl had gone back on her word, and said, “You promised that after dusk, you would help find him.”
“That’s right, I haven’t forgotten, but can we talk about it after I’ve had sothing to eat?” She had been sleeping most of the afternoon and hardly got any sleep the night before; she was really hungry at the mont.
Guo Yuyun asked again, “Did the dog really not co back out?”
“I have no need to lie to you.” They didn’t dare to go in because the dog hadn’t co out, and they didn’t know what had happened inside. ng Xiuluo, with a dozen people, was no match for that man; how could they not worry and fear?
ng Xiuluo said, “Do you want to eat sothing?”
Guo Yuyun was not in the mood to eat.
ng Xiuluo could understand her feelings to so extent.
Xiang Yi returned.
ng Xiuluo asked, “How was it?”
“Don’t worry, no one will know we’re here now.” Xiang Yi had just co back from standing guard.
“Good, that’s reassuring.” ng Xiuluo passed so food to her.
“We can stay here for a good while.” She thought that people from the thirty-six islands and the Demon Domain were looking for them everywhere; the outside must be very unsafe.
“Whether we like it or not, we have to stay put.”
“True, building a boat will take at least a month or two, but there are plenty of trees on this island, no need to worry about running out of wood.”
“Right, let them all follow the shipbuilder’s and carpenter’s orders.”
“Understood, they will certainly build it as quickly as possible.”
“Tell them not to rush; we have plenty of ti.”
Xiang Yi nodded slightly and said, “That’s true, it’s better to stay here than to run around outside.”
“Yes, too many things have happened these past few days.”
“Not just many; it’s been a matter of life and death, and so many people have died.” Xiang Yi found it frightening just thinking about it; they had made narrow escapes each ti.
After dinner, ng Xiuluo led a group of about twenty people, Guo Yuyun among them, guided by the few who had co back earlier. Holding torches, they set off towards the depths of the dense forest.
Though the rain had stopped, the fog in the area was thick, indistinguishable between morning or dusk. The ground was moist, as if soaked in water, perpetually in that state.
Rotten leaves and the carcasses of so animals, slling like dead rats, rendered one’s nose almost insensate, even the hunting dogs began to sneeze.
“Be careful not to get bitten by a snake.”
It was still so distance to nightfall.
