The prince mumbled as he ran with Feng Wu, “Isn’t that all we can do? Make one breakthrough at a time?”
Flying alongside Feng Wu, Little Phoenix glanced at the prince. “How ignorant!”
The bird had always despised the poor prince, but the latter was very sweet-tempered. Even with this, he still wasn’t angry.
He was only curious. “What do you mean? Can people make two breakthroughs in a row?”
Little Phoenix raised its chin proudly. “Of course they can! I’ve seen people make three breakthroughs in a row!”
The prince stared at Little Phoenix in disbelief!
Little Phoenix felt rather superior to see how ignorant the prince was, so it said proudly, “You know next to nothing!”
The prince said, “Can people do that? I… I don’t believe it!”
Little Phoenix snickered. “Why not? You’re looking right at that person!”
He was looking right at the person? The prince looked at the bird. “Is it you…”
Little Phoenix almost choked. It then rolled its eyes at the prince. “I told you already, it’s a person. Do I look like a person to you? What on earth are you thinking?!”
It scolded the poor prince mercilessly.
The prince was used to its attitude, so he didn’t mind it at all. He then looked at Feng Wu. “Miss Feng, is it you?”
Feng Wu didn’t try to hide anything as she nodded and said, “Yes.”
The prince thought at first that Little Phoenix was bragging, but now that he saw that it was true, he stared at her in disbelief. “Really? Did you really make three breakthroughs in a row? H- how’s that even possible? That can’t be possible!”
Feng Wu rolled her eyes at him.
Why not?
She had done it more than once.
But Feng Wu didn’t spend any time explaining it to him, because right now, their top priority was to run away!
“Just run!” Feng Wu warned the prince. “Six is still making his breakthrough, and his injuries will recover a little in the process. If he catches up with us, we won’t be able to run away!”
The prince nodded; he had never looked so serious.
Feng Wu said, “Let’s run down the hill. Six won’t be able to kill us when we get to the campsite!”
Feng Wu was screaming inwardly.
Six was becoming stronger and they were now in more danger than at the beginning.
Slopes and rivers kept getting in their way.
But they couldn’t stop Feng Wu. She made a beeline for the campsite, dragging the prince along with her.
They climbed the slopes and jumped over rivers.
The prince learned a lot of tricks.
Small stones could be stuck into a cliff wall and be used as steps.
And those small stones could also be used to slow down their descent from a cliff as well.
And they could use tricks to cross the river as well…
Feng Wu had no idea how far she had run. She just knew that she had to run as fast as she could!
Even a second’s delay might get all of them killed.
If Feng Wu was all by herself, she could have made it out of the mountain already, but the prince slowed her down.
Six was like a blade hanging over their heads, and they had no idea when it would fall.
