Chapter 799 - Run?
799 Run?
He ran away? Just like that?!
Feng Wu was baffled.
She didn’t expect the team leader to bolt. She had set up a series of traps and gadgets in the temple, which had taken her quite a while, but her target had run off without triggering any of them.
“The guy didn’t become the leader of Blade for nothing. He’s really cautious.” Feng Wu shook her head regretfully.
However, he had been poisoned and wouldn’t be able to run very far.
After the miserable pursuit she had endured, it was finally time for Feng Wu to strike back.
Hence, Feng Wu left quickly and went after the team leader.
The team leader struggled to keep moving forward.
He had realized by now that Two, Five, and Ten were all dead and he was the only one left in his group. It just so happened that he had been poisoned.
That toxin…
Pffft!
The moment he thought about it, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
This wasn’t good at all!
“That abominable girl!” The team leader gritted his teeth, wanting to cut Feng Wu into little pieces.
However, there wasn’t anything he could do at the moment except get back to his other team members as soon as possible.
Luckily, they had a special means of communication, and they roughly knew where the other team members were.
The team had split into three groups.
Two, Five, and Ten headed north.
Three, Six, and Nine headed south.
Four, Seven, and Eight headed west.
The other two groups were all that was left of Blade.
The team couldn’t afford to lose any more members and had to stick together.
The team leader sent out a distress signal.
A distress signal?!
Three was the head of the team heading south, and his stomach lurched when he received the signal. He confirmed it with the other two members. “Did you receive that?”
“Captain’s distress signal?”
“Yes!”
“I think he might have run into the real Feng Wu!”
“But we’ve almost caught up to our target. Are we going to give up now?”
“You idiot! There’s only one Feng Wu, and if Captain has found the real one, then we’re running after a fake one!”
“Right…”
“Enough with your ‘right’! Get back to Captain already!”
The group gathered together and headed north.
Meanwhile, the group heading west received the same signal.
“Captain’s distress signal?”
“He’s the most powerful cultivator of us all. How…”
“Something must be terribly wrong! Quick, let’s go back to the rendezvous point!”
“Where’s that?”
“Captain said to meet him where the Qilin Beast and Ice Fire Beast fought.”
“Quickly!”
The group in the south gave up on chasing Little Phoenix.
And the group in the west stopped pursuing the cub.
Both groups headed for the place where the Qilin Beast and Ice Fire Beast fought each other to death, for that was where the three routes met.
Feng Wu tailed the team leader and kept her distance. Judging by the direction he was heading in, she knew what he was up to right away.
Just then —
Feng Wu heard Little Phoenix’s voice in her head.
“They’re heading back! They’re coming your way! Little Feng Wu, they must have realized you’re the real one and they’re coming for you! Run!”
Meanwhile, the cub’s voice joined in.
“Roarrr — they left!”
As her spiritual pets, Little Phoenix and the cub could both send her telepathic messages, as long as they weren’t too far apart.
An idea struck Feng Wu. “They have to meet up where the Qilin Beast and Ice Fire Beast died. Follow them, but don’t get too close.”
