War Wolf, Beauty Snake, and Climbing Tiger, the three leaders, revealed sinister smiles. Now, Ye Fan and Chu ngyao were captive turtles, not far from death, so there was no worry anymore.
The three leaders ordered the others to cease fire; there was no need to shoot anymore. The prey had reached their dead end; now they simply waited to see how the prey would die to vent their anger.
Ye Fan and Chu ngyao were hiding behind a boulder, facing the cliff. Ye Fan’s expression changed as he pondered a strategy, whereas ngyao’s expression fluctuated, as if she were making a decision.
"It seems that the two of us cannot both retreat unscathed now. At this point, we must make so sacrifices." ngyao resolutely said, "Don’t worry about . Try to fight your way out. If I fall into their hands, they probably won’t kill . I believe that without , you will definitely be able to carve a path out of here."
ngyao made this decision; she had no choice but to sacrifice. If they continued like this, neither of them would have a way out.
Actually, her thinking was simple: Ye Fan had a chance to fight his way out. As for her, how could she have a way out? Initially, when ng Yinglong captured her, it was to use her as leverage against Ye Fan. But now, her value had reached its peak; she had already lured Ye Fan here. For ng Yinglong, she was of no further use.
Her only thought was to jump off the cliff, leaving her fate in the hands of destiny. Of course, she realized long ago that the chance of survival was almost zero. Even if she were to die, she didn’t want to be a burden to Ye Fan anymore.
If there was hope, she’d consider living, staying by Ye Fan’s side for safety. But now, there was no hope. She must make a choice. She didn’t want to watch Ye Fan die with her.
She thought that without the burden, Ye Fan would flourish and have a chance to survive.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Fan reprimanded, "No absurd thoughts, understood?"
How could he not understand ngyao’s thoughts, full of reproach in his tone?
"But..." ngyao was anxious, exceptionally worried, "I don’t want you to die. This is the only way. If I fall back into ng Yinglong’s hands, life will be worse than death. I might as well end it here and stop dragging you down. You must live well and have a chance to avenge ."
She voiced her thoughts. Now she had to make a choice; she couldn’t delay any longer, or it would beco more unfavorable.
"Listen to . Don’t let your mind wander," Ye Fan insisted.
He had long observed the cliff ahead. It was a place where several rivers converged, forming a massive waterfall. The sound of water echoed from the mountain stream, audible clearly. But he didn’t know how deep the abyss was below, whether there were cliffs or a pool below, or how high the cliff was, so he wasn’t very confident. Jumping down was likely dangerous.
However, if he and ngyao were together, even jumping off the cliff, if there were a chance, they might survive. If ngyao acted alone, certain death awaited.
Seeing War Wolf and others temporarily cease the attack suggested jumping down the cliff was a path to doom. Thus, they hadn’t rushed to surround them but wanted to watch them die in despair.
No matter the outco, Ye Fan believed that as long as he and ngyao were together, there was a chance they could survive.
Ye Fan wouldn’t take risks unless absolutely necessary, but now there was no choice.
At this mont, War Wolf’s mocking voice reached them, laughing: "Ye Fan, Chu ngyao, you are dood. Stand out and await our judgnt. If you want a swift death, it’s simple; have Ye Fan kill Chu ngyao first, then commit suicide. Then you can die with dignity. Otherwise, fall into our hands, and there’ll be no good end. At that ti, your fate will be evident without explaining."
War Wolf was not in a hurry, coldly mocking them. By now, there was no path of survival.
He firmly believed that slowly tornting them, forcing them to make a final choice, was the most entertaining thing.
"If you have the guts, jump off the cliff; you’ll definitely be smashed. We certainly won’t stop you." Beauty Snake interjected confidently, "Let be honest; we’ve long investigated this cliff. Jumping down guarantees no survival. Though there’s a pool, there’s mostly rock and cliffs."
The base of the Lone Wolf rcenary Corps was just outside this primitive forest. In so ways, it was their backyard. They had a thorough understanding of the forest inside, facilitating their survival here.
"Five minutes to decide how to die. If you haven’t decided, we’ll make you die by our ans, starting by shooting you indiscriminately. We won’t hit lethal spots first; we’ll cripple you, leaving you to fend for yourself in this chilling forest. At that ti, you won’t have your own choices." War Wolf issued the final ultimatum.
Ye Fan ignored the mocking and taunting of War Wolf and others.
He looked at ngyao, warmly asking, "Are you afraid to jump off the cliff together?"
"Not afraid, there’s nothing to fear. As long as you’re with , I’m not afraid of anything." ngyao softly smiled, eyes full of tenderness, "As long as I can die with you, that’s my biggest wish now. Though I want you to survive, I’ll follow your lead now and won’t say anything else."
"Who said we’d die? Didn’t you hear the sound of water beneath the cliff?" Ye Fan warned, "Rember, always think about how to survive. Don’t keep thinking about death, okay?"
"Yes." ngyao nodded affirmatively, deeply convinced by Ye Fan’s words.
Originally, she harbored the determination to die by jumping, but listening to Ye Fan heightened her desire to live to the extre.
Ye Fan wanted this result. Jumping off this cliff, who knew what might happen? Thus, the desire to survive was critically important. One couldn’t jump off this cliff with a mindset of despair; if the heart was dead, even a small injury could beco a major one.
Once ngyao’s gaze beca extrely determined, Ye Fan lifted ngyao and leaped towards the cliff.
Beside them, a sinister wind roared.
Within sight were turbulent waterfalls and protruding stones.
