The team led by Cai Er in the front was still full of energy, ready to rush to the end in one go, but Fang Yu's team was starting to lag behind.
At this mont, two choices lay before Fang Yu.
The first choice was to speed up and catch up, blending in with Cai Er's team. But that would an abandoning the safety of those behind.
The second choice was to slow down and face difficulties together with his own team. Yet, it was uncertain what that [Hei Yuxin] was capable of, or whether that [Spirit] would co after them.
He might end up being destroyed along with his team due to a mont's softness, for the sake of love and unity, and ultimately lose his own life.
The wilderness is not child's play; it's a place where one could truly lose their life at any mont.
Although Fang Yu had the fallback of player revival up his sleeve, and thus his fear of death wasn't so strong, who really wants to die if they can live? After all, he wasn't familiar with the people behind.
However, Cai Er's team might not necessarily accept him, and that was the crux of the problem.
If he ended up alone, it would be better to return and lead his own team, gaining more capital to survive in the wild.
Besides, Ling Huxiang, standing beside him, was a pure native NPC; under such pressure, who could say what she would do?
If one doesn't look out for themselves, the heavens and earth would annihilate them. If she truly could abandon the team to save her life, no one could say anything.
As Fang Yu contemplated, Ling Huxiang spoke up.
"Lady Cai Er! There's strength in numbers; we should have already escaped the previous barrier's range and are at a safe distance now. Please take us with you and act together!"
Would it work?
Fang Yu frowned. Based on previous reactions, Zuo Lv and Hei Ao had very low authority in the team, and the others didn't have the slightest intention to act together with them.
Indeed, after Ling Huxiang's voice fell, Cai Er and the others in front didn't give them any response.
The Foolish Underworld and the Five Great Families are not intimately connected; they might exchange pleasantries in the city, but once in the wild, everyone fights for themselves. Why would anyone help you?
Hei Ao and Zuo Lv seed to have pleaded once, mainly to bring only Fang Yu along, but it was still like sinking a stone into the sea.
Their team didn't need outsiders.
By this ti, Fang Yu had already slowed down.
He had realized that retreating with Cai Er's team was unlikely to happen.
He glanced back at the people in his team.
Dong Xingzhou was biting his teeth in silence, looking at him.
Zhu Huida, carrying soone on his shoulder, had a cold gaze, showing no change in emotion.
The others were more or less on guard, with hints of pleading in their eyes.
Fang Yu took a deep breath and gradually fell back, getting farther from Cai Er's team in the front.
"Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself."
At this ti, Ling Huxiang also stopped, watching Cai Er's team go far, she said coldly.
With their physical strength, they could certainly hang tightly behind Cai Er's team, but it was aningless. Others could indeed leave you to die, so what was the use of following soone else's team? Better to stay and lead his own team to act.
As long as that [Spirit] in the back didn't catch up, their team could handle other demons.
"Captain Diao!" Dong Xingzhou exclaid excitedly after catching up.
"Captain Linghu!" Even Zhu Huida, usually calm, had a bit of excitent in his eyes at this mont.
Between life and death, there is great terror.
If they were abandoned by the two captains, they would be in grave danger.
Even if they weren't killed by the [Spirit], walking in the wilderness not on the official road would be fraught with danger at every step.
But now it was different, the captains had returned, as if giving the team a backbone, the montum of the team ca back all at once, as if their hanging hearts fell back, and everyone excitedly called out the captains' nas while keeping formation and running outward together.
From the rear ca another loud boom, frightening everyone to speed up again imdiately.
Fang Yu didn't know how much distance their team had run, only that gradually people in the team began to fall from exhaustion, only to be carried by companions who helped each other move forward.
This was not ordinary running, but a desperate sprint, like the shortest plank of a barrel, where the weak would constantly drag down the strong, slowing the team's speed.
Fortunately, after running so far, they had already left the previous pit area, and because their actions were so loud, demons occasionally ca to attack them, so it could be basically confird that they had already escaped the danger range.
Fang Yu managed to earn four attribute points along the way, but with a formidable Ling Huxiang beside him, distributing the spoils was still a bit tough.
"This way."
Ling Huxiang said.
Fang Yu glanced over, noticing next to Ling Huxiang, on the bark of a large tree, was a carved mark, nodding slightly.
It was an arrow.
Underneath was the character [Zuo].
"Fortunately, you have a connection with Miss Zuo, otherwise this road might be hard to traverse."
Their team was not as strong as Cai Er's team, and after running non-stop, everyone was already exhausted.
Encountering Little Demons was fine; Fang Yu and Ling Huxiang could resolve them with ease.
If they encountered a Great Demon, needing the teamwork to act, it would be disastrous.
Fortunately, with the marks left by Zuo Lv, they traveled along Cai Er's team's path, making it relatively safe along the way, even seeing the body of a large, just-recently-defeated Great Demon.
"Everyone, keep going, if we find a suitable place, we'll camp and rest."
Fang Yu shouted back.
