Somewhere in the forest.
Fu Rou and the others rushed towards the location of the smoke signal.
Previously, she ordered the Dragon gang members to send a signal when they found Xiao Tian and Crystal.
Now that she had seen a smoke signal, she dashed towards the location of the smoke signal.
She did not want to lose track of them again because the forest was big.
*Shui…
Fu Rou and the others ran as fast as they could.
They reached the waterfall in less than five minutes, but they were late. They were too late because they did not see Xiao Tian and Crystal at the waterfall.
One of the Dragon gang members was killed, and four of them fainted. This was a sign that they fought Xiao Tian and Crystal earlier.
“Look for them around here. I’m sure they are still not far from here.” Fu Rou ordered the Dragon gang members to find Xiao Tian and Crystal.
At this moment, Xiao Tian was running while carrying Crystal on his back. He did not go to the cave because that place was no longer safe.
He had to leave that place as far as possible. Even though Xiao Tian was running as fast as he could, he still paid attention to his surroundings.
They were in the forest, so there were many wild animals there.
‘I hope we won’t run into wild animals later.’
And as if he was followed by bad luck, he met a hyena not long after that.
*Geerrr…
The hyena instantly looked at Xiao Tian and showed her fang.
The hyena was not afraid of Xiao Tian; instead, it walked closer to him as if Xiao Tian and Crystal were its prey.
“It’s a hyena. Xiao Tian, put me down first.” It was hard to fight while carrying her, so Crystal told Xiao Tian to put her down first.
Of course, she knew that Xiao Tian could kill that hyena because it was only one hyena. For a martial expert like Xiao Tian, killing one hyena was not difficult.
*Sring…
Xiao Tian extended his special sword.
‘I have to kill it in one move.’
Their enemies were chasing them, so Xiao Tian had to kill the hyena as quickly as possible.
Yes, he had to kill the hyena in one move!
Xiao Tian remained in his position. He decided not to attack the hyena first because it was better to counterattack in this situation.
“Xiao Tian, put me down first.” Crystal repeated her words when Xiao Tian was still carrying her.
Xiao Tian’s attention was focused on the hyena, so he did not answer her. As long as he was focused, he was sure that he could kill the hyena in one move.
The hyena rushed towards Xiao Tian before finally jumping and opening its mouth widely, ready to bite Xiao Tian.
*Slice…
Xiao Tian moved to the right side before slicing the hyena into two.
Dead!
The hyena fell to the ground, dead.
“It’s them!” one of the Dragon gang members shouted when he saw Xiao Tian and Crystal.
When Xiao Tian saw three people running towards him, he did not fight them; instead, he ran away.
He was afraid that more people would find them if he fought the Dragon gang members. That was why he decided to run again.
*Sreet…
Xiao Tian shortened his special sword before finally putting it in his pocket.
He did not run straight; he ran to the left and right.
At this moment, Crystal was wrapping her arms around Xiao Tian’s neck and skimmed her surroundings.
She could not help Xiao Tian fight their enemies, so at least she tried to help them escape.
“Xiao Tian, run to 2 o’clock.” Crystal whispered, “There are a lot of tall bushes, so we can get rid of our tracks there better.”
Xiao Tian did not say anything and instantly did what he was told. However, something unexpected happened when Xiao Tian was running.
He tripped over a tree root!
Even though Xiao Tian ran while paying attention to his surroundings, he still tripped over a tree root
*Bruak…
Xiao Tian and Crystal fell to the ground.
“Hurry up. Don’t lose them.” one of the Dragon gang members shouted.
Xiao Tian immediately carried Crystal and hid in the bushes.
“Where are they?” the red-haired man uttered.
At this moment, the Dragon gang members were standing near Xiao Tian and Crystal. Of course, they did not know about it because Xiao Tian and Crystal were hiding in the bushes.
Xiao Tian and Crystal did not make any sound and stared at them, waiting for them to leave.
“Damn!” one of the Dragon gang members cursed.
“Let’s search again. I’m sure they are not far from here.” The red-haired man uttered.
They began to look for Xiao Tian and Crystal again.
Xiao Tian and Crystal immediately came out of their hiding place and dashed towards the opposite direction of Dragon gang members.
Of course, Xiao Tian was carrying Crystal on his back again.
*Ten minutes…fifteen minutes…twenty minutes…
It had been more than twenty minutes since Fu Rou, and the others chased Xiao Tian and Crystal.
Xiao Tian and Crystal were currently far away from Fu Rou and the others.
Yes, they managed to escape after they nearly lost their lives.
——
Somewhere in the forest.
Fu Rou gritted her teeth as she clenched her fist.
She was enraged because Xiao Tian and Crystal managed to run away from them. Previously, they almost caught Xiao Tian and Crystal, but now they had lost track of them.
Some of the Dragon gang members were even injured because they fought wild animals earlier, such as tigers, wild boars, and other wild animals.
“Fu Rou, we should go back to our base now because we have to treat our brothers’ injuries.” One of the Dragon gang members uttered.
Fu Rou’s eyes were filled with fury. She did not expect that she would fail to catch Xiao Tian and Crystal again.
“Fu Rou, you should not be selfish.” Another member of the Dragon gang uttered, “We also hate them, but we have to treat our brothers’ injuries first.”
“Fine. Let’s go back now.” Fu Rou said in annoyance.
—–
Xiao Tian and Crystal were still in the forest. He did not run like before because he was sure that Fu Rou and the others had lost track of them.
“Crystal, let’s rest here.” After saying that, Xiao Tian put Crystal down.
He ran for more than twenty minutes and fought his enemies and wild animal earlier, so he only had a little stamina left.
Crystal agreed with Xiao Tian’s idea because she knew his condition. All this time, Xiao Tian carried her while fighting their enemies, so she knew that he needed rest.
“I did not expect that they would find us earlier.” Xiao Tian thought Fu Rou and the others would not be able to find them if they did not get out of the forest because they hid deep in the forest.
“It seems like they will keep looking for us.” Crystal also did not expect that Fu Rou and the others would find them earlier.
“It seems so.” Xiao Tian responded.
After resting for several minutes, Xiao Tian carried Crystal and walked again. Like before, he kept paying attention to his surroundings because they were still in the forest.
To their surprise, they saw an old man not long after that.
