Chapter 1410: Chapter 1410: I Can’t Just Watch Them March to Their Deaths! (Fifth Update)

”Everyone stay close! If you fall behind, you know the consequences!” Gao Zhong made a show of leadership at the front of the team, loudly reminding them.

Ye Haochuan could only smile at this. This guy wasn’t bad, just too full of himself. If a fight really broke out, this guy wouldn’t last even one move against Ye Haochuan.

However, Ye Haochuan did not point this out and simply followed silently at the rear of the team.

”You should walk in the middle of the team, it’s safer!” The chubby woman smiled at Ye Haochuan.

After chatting earlier, Ye Haochuan had learned this woman’s name was Fan Qingqing. He couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something familiar about her, but he couldn’t figure it out.

”It’s fine, I’m not that weak!” Ye Haochuan replied with a smile.

”Nonsense, you just broke through to the Core Formation Mid-Stage, how strong could you be?” Fan Qingqing suddenly remarked.

”How do you know I just broke through?” Ye Haochuan asked in surprise.

Earlier, he did have a brief chat with others in the team, but with other plans in mind, he never mentioned anything about his cultivation.

Yet from Fan Qingqing’s demeanor, it seemed she already knew about his recent breakthrough.

”I... I just saw your aura was still unstable, so I naturally knew you hadn’t broken through long ago!” Fan Qingqing explained with a flicker in her eyes, then turned away without further words to Ye Haochuan.

”Wait!” Ye Haochuan quickly called out.

Kidding me, his current strength was enough to crush a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, how could his Core Formation Mid-Stage aura still be unstable. Fan Qingqing was clearly lying.

Ye Haochuan was determined to get answers from Fan Qingqing.

But just at that moment, Gao Zhong at the front of the team suddenly whispered, ”Ahead is the territory of the Hell Fierce Wolf, everyone remain alert and try not to make a sound!”

Upon hearing this, everyone became highly vigilant. The Hell Fierce Wolf was infamous for being a vicious demon beast, and they lived in packs. If encountered, survival was unlikely.

However, the path through the Hell Fierce Wolf’s territory was the only way to the Cold Pond, so they could only proceed with utmost caution, hoping to pass through without alerting the wolves.

Ye Haochuan wanted to approach Fan Qingqing for clarification, but hearing this, he held back and decided to wait until they were past this section.

Gao Zhong, though a bit arrogant, had reason for his self-assuredness. He was clearly very familiar with this jungle, indicating it wasn’t his first time here.

So although they had to pass through the Hell Fierce Wolf’s territory, he found the most secluded, least noticeable and fastest path through the area.

The others in the team seemed well-coordinated with Gao Zhong, moving quietly and quickly without any hesitation.

Ye Haochuan silently followed at the rear, discreetly using his Perspective Eyes to vigilantly observe the surroundings.

The journey was surprisingly calm. Under Gao Zhong’s guidance, they quickly traversed most of the territory.

”Once we pass through here, it’s just a ten-minute walk to get out of the Hell Fierce Wolf’s territory, everyone hang in there!” At a fork in the path, Gao Zhong pointed to the left and softly reminded them.

Hearing this, the others visibly relaxed. Staying in a state of high tension for too long leads to extreme fatigue. Gao Zhong’s words were clearly meant to boost their morale.

However, upon hearing this, Ye Haochuan’s eyebrows furrowed intensely as he interjected, ”We can’t go this way, there are Hell Fierce Wolves here. We need to go to the right to avoid them!”

Gao Zhong, hearing this, cautiously looked at the path to the left, then chuckled lightly, ”There’s nothing suspicious here at all, what makes you say there are Hell Fierce Wolves this way?”

”Because I...” Ye Haochuan began but then hesitated.

The Perspective Eyes were his trump card; how could he disclose that to people he’d just met. After a pause, he made up a lie, ”My nose is quite sensitive, I smelled the scent of Hell Fierce Wolves on this path, so...”

”What a joke, do we not have noses?” Gao Zhong scoffed, ”Besides, if there were really Hell Fierce Wolves traveling this path, why is there not a single trace on the ground?”

”That’s because...”

Ye Haochuan tried to explain, but Gao Zhong forcefully interrupted, ”What’s the matter? I’ve walked this path countless times. The path on the left is the closest to the Hell Fierce Wolf territory’s edge, and I’ve never seen Hell Fierce Wolves so close to the edge before.”

With that, he pointed to the right and said, ”This way leads into the depths of the Hell Fierce Wolf territory, not to mention there might be wolves down this path, and at least it takes an hour to get through. Ask everyone here, who would want to stay in this dangerous place for another hour?”

The others nodded in agreement, with the Infatuated Girl even chiming in, ”Exactly, Gao Zhong is extremely familiar with this area, his words should be reliable!”

”It’s not just about time; the path on the left might truly have wolves...” Fan Qingqing argued in favor of Ye Haochuan.

”Enough, stop talking. Every minute we argue here adds a minute of danger. If you want to follow this guy, go ahead. But we’re going this way.”

Gao Zhong snorted coldly, speaking no more to Ye Haochuan, and headed left.

The other three didn’t hesitate and followed Gao Zhong.

Damn, I thought this guy’s arrogance was just a minor flaw, but in this situation, it turned out to be quite significant.

Ye Haochuan cursed internally.

He had seen through his Perspective Eyes that there were definitely Hell Fierce Wolves on that path, and a large group at that. Going there was basically a death sentence.

”They’ve gone, shall we?” Fan Qingqing didn’t seem to feel much loss over separating from the group, tugging on Ye Haochuan’s sleeve.

”This woman, did she really stand by my side without hesitation again?” Ye Haochuan smirked.

Willing to follow someone she’d known for less than half a day, and so readily abandon her teammates. Claiming Fan Qingqing didn’t know him before, he wouldn’t believe it no matter what.

However, this was not the time to delve into that matter.

”Though Gao Zhong is annoying, we can’t just watch them march to their death!” Ye Haochuan said, gesturing with his hand.

”You want to save them?” Fan Qingqing asked puzzled.

Ye Haochuan said no more and walked toward the left path.

Fan Qingqing furrowed her brows, seemingly engaged in an intense internal struggle.

After a long while, she murmured to herself, ”Oh well, we journeyed together for several days. He’s willing to save, even after just meeting Gao Zhong for half a day; how can I not go? Moreover, how could I let him go alone and not worry?”

With that thought, Fan Qingqing gave a bitter smile and followed after him.
