Chapter 232: Everyone be careful, don't get separated.
However, fate seemed determined not to let them off so easily. Just as they were crossing a dense forest, a sudden downpour began.
Large raindrops pelted my body, stinging my skin.
The road became muddy and difficult to traverse, making each step forward extremely challenging.
"Everyone be careful, don't get separated!"
Fang Xiao shouted loudly, but her voice was drowned out by the sound of rain and strong wind.
Pei Yan stayed close to Fang Xiaoxiao, shielding her from some of the wind and rain. Li Renyi and Long Jinyan also supported each other, trying their best to keep up with the group.
Just then, a deep roar came from afar. Everyone was startled, stopped in their tracks, and looked around warily.
"What is that sound?" He Jinnian's voice trembled slightly.
Before anyone could answer, a huge white tiger leaped out of the woods. Its jaws were wide open, and its eyes gleamed with ferocity.
Everyone gasped and gripped their weapons tightly.
"Don't be afraid, we'll deal with it together!" Pei Yan shouted.
The white tiger suddenly pounced on the group, with Long Jinyan taking the lead and engaging in a fierce battle with it.
Although he was agile, the White Tiger's strength was too great. After several rounds, Long Jinyan gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Fang Xiao was extremely anxious, searching everywhere for anything she could use.
Suddenly, she noticed a large, fallen tree not far away, its trunk covered with sharp branches.
"Everyone, lure the white tiger over there!" Fang Xiaoxiao shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, the group began to intentionally lead the white tiger toward the big tree.
The white tiger seemed to have sensed their intentions and attacked even more frantically.
Just as the white tiger was about to pounce on Li Renyi, the group successfully lured it to a large tree.
The white tiger couldn't stop in time and crashed heavily into the tree trunk, sharp branches piercing its body.
The white tiger let out a painful roar, collapsed to the ground, struggled a few times, and then lay still.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and slumped on the ground.
However, before they could catch their breath, they heard another burst of noisy footsteps.
"Oh no, could it be the government troops chasing after us?" Fang Xiaoxiao's face turned pale.
Sure enough, a group of assassins dressed in black appeared in front of them.
"Looks like there's no escaping it today."
Pei Yan stood up, his eyes resolute.
"Then let's fight them!"
Long Jinyan said through gritted teeth.
Without a word, the assassins charged at them. A fierce battle ensued once again.
Fang Xiaoxiao and the others fought back fiercely, but the assassins were well-trained and coordinated, and they gradually found themselves in a difficult situation.
At this critical moment, an arrow pierced the air and struck one of the assassins in the arm.
Then, a group of mysterious people dressed in white appeared and joined the battle.
With the help of the mysterious figure, the situation gradually turned around. Seeing that things were going badly, the assassins retreated one after another.
"Thank you all for your help!" Fang Xiaoxiao said gratefully.
"No need to be so polite, we are just doing this for someone else."
"That's what the white-clad man at the head of the group said."
Fang Xiaoxiao and the others were full of doubts, but they didn't have time to ask any more questions. Led by the man in white, they continued their escape.
Fang Xiaoxiao and the others followed the man in white through the mountains and forests. Before they could resolve their doubts, a new crisis descended upon them.
Suddenly, a series of bottomless traps appeared on the road ahead, with sharp wooden stakes standing in the traps.
If the man in white hadn't spotted them in time, some of them would probably have already fallen in.
"Be careful, there might be more dangers around here!"
The man in white reminded him.
The group carefully avoided the traps, but at that moment, strange flute music began to play all around them.
The flute's shrill and piercing sound sent chills down one's spine.
"Oh no, this could be a signal to control poison!" Fang Xiaoxiao's expression changed drastically.
As soon as they finished speaking, a dark mass of venomous creatures surged toward them, including highly poisonous snakes, scorpions, and enormous poisonous spiders.
"Everyone, form a circle, back to back, and keep the poisonous creature away!" Pei Yan shouted in command.
The crowd quickly gathered, brandishing their weapons in an attempt to stop the poisonous creature's attack.
But the number of poisonous substances is increasing, and the encirclement is gradually shrinking.
Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, the men in white took out a special powder from their pockets and sprinkled it on the poisonous creature.
Upon contact with the powder, the poisonous creatures all retreated.
"Hurry up!" the man in white shouted.
The group seized the opportunity to flee. But they hadn't gone far when a steep mountain blocked their path.
The mountain peaks soar into the clouds, almost perpendicular to the ground, making it nearly impossible to climb.
"What do we do now? There are mountains in front, poisonous creatures and unknown dangers behind us," Li Renyi said anxiously.
"Let's see if there are any other routes," Fang Xiaoxiao said.
Just then, a sinister laugh was heard.
"You can't escape!" A dark figure slowly descended from the mountain peak.
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was an old man in black with a ferocious expression.
"Who are you? Why are you chasing us?" Pei Yan shouted angrily.
"Hmph, you've offended the wrong people; today is your death day!"
As the old man in black spoke, he waved his hands, and a powerful surge of internal energy rushed towards them.
Seeing this, the man in white stepped forward and engaged in a contest of internal strength with the old man in black.
The surrounding air seemed to be torn apart, and the powerful airflow made everyone almost unable to stand.
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, Fang Xiaoxiao discovered a hidden cave on one side of the mountain.
"Quick, into the cave!" Fang Xiao shouted.
The group quickly ran towards the cave.
Upon entering the cave, they found it pitch black and filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
"Everyone be careful, there might be danger in here."
He Jinnian reminded him.
They cautiously groped their way forward when suddenly the ground beneath their feet began to shake, and stones from the cave ceiling began to fall.
"Oh no, the cave is about to collapse!" Long Jinyan shouted.
Everyone ran desperately toward the cave entrance.
Just as the cave was about to completely collapse, they finally escaped.
However, the situation outside is not optimistic either.
The battle between the old man in black and the man in white had reached a fever pitch, and the surrounding area was a mess.
"We have to find a way to get out of here!" Fang Xiaoxiao said.
"There's a river over there; maybe we can escape along it."
Zhou Wenjian pointed to the distance and said.
Having no other choice, the group ran towards the river. After jumping in, they were swept away by the swift current.
In the flowing water, they kept bumping into rocks, sustaining multiple injuries.
But their will to survive made them cling tightly to everything they could.
After an unknown amount of time, the current gradually calmed down, and they finally reached the shore.
