Ye Tianfan followed the path with the Black Ape King and arrived in a valley, and at this mont, Ye Tianfan stopped because he believed they had escaped from there.
Behind Ye Tianfan and the others was a massive stone wall, an angled stone wall, and as Ye Tianfan looked ahead, no matter how far he looked, he saw only mountains. No new walls appeared, leading Ye Tianfan to conclude they had indeed escaped.
Then, under the confused gazes of everyone, Ye Tianfan summoned the Fire Lotus Sword and sent it directly into the sky.
When it flew to a certain height, Ye Tianfan breathed a sigh of relief because previously, the Fire Lotus Sword had just passed a height that was the capped height within the walls.
So Ye Tianfan summoned the Fire Lotus Sword back and said to everyone, "Walk a little further, then rest on the ground for a bit. I'll fly up and see if I can find out where we are. Once I determine the direction we need to go, I'll co find you!"
The survivors nodded and continued walking as per Ye Tianfan's words.
Then Ye Tianfan stepped onto the Flying Sword and began to ascend into the sky.
Listening to the wind whistling past his ears, Ye Tianfan chuckled a few tis with satisfaction. When he reached a certain height, he stopped and looked around.
What he saw truly shocked Ye Tianfan.
Ye Tianfan saw the direction from which he had just exited—an enormous walled city almost beyond sight. There was a large circle with a smaller circle inside it. The small circle was where Ye Tianfan and the others were trapped, and between the small and large circles was a complex maze. Even from above, Ye Tianfan couldn't find the exit of this maze. Moreover, from above, he could see nurous Demon Beasts roaming the maze. Although he couldn't sense their aura, simply from their appearance and fighting situations, they were at least at the mid-level of Qian Yuan, like the Black Ape King before its strength increased. Thus, Ye Tianfan gave up on observing further.
Ye Tianfan shook his head in fear; without the Black Ape King, they would never have escaped unscathed. The maze alone would have cost at least ninety percent of their lives.
The maze was overly complicated, and with so many people, it would be easy to get lost. Plus, with so many Demon Beasts, Ye Tianfan might have survived, but the chance of the survivors making it out would heavily depend on luck.
"Black Ape King, I will rember you. If I ever get the chance to repay you, I definitely will," Ye Tianfan resolved in his heart that if he ever encounters the Black Ape King again, he would surely repay the favor.
However, Ye Tianfan no longer looked at that place but instead turned his gaze in other directions, hoping to find a place familiar to him, so he could determine where they were.
Hmm?
As Ye Tianfan gazed in one direction, he suddenly noticed a place vaguely familiar to him. However, because it was too far away, he could only see a rough outline and couldn't recall exactly what place it was.
But since he found a familiar place, he decided to head there. Once he arrived, he would be able to figure out where exactly they were.
So, Ye Tianfan quickly flew down and began searching in low altitude for traces of the survivors.
After a while, Ye Tianfan found the traces left by the survivors and followed them to locate them.
Upon seeing the survivors, Ye Tianfan descended.
As soon as Ye Tianfan landed, the survivors gathered around him, asking incessantly, "Benefactor, do you know where we are?"
"Benefactor, please sit down and rest for a while."
"Benefactor, let give you a leg massage!"
"Benefactor..."
The barrage of questions almost made Ye Tianfan's head explode, so he quickly shouted, "Stop, listen to ."
Upon hearing this, everyone imdiately stopped and fixed their eyes on Ye Tianfan, prepared to listen to what he had to say.
Seeing everyone quiet down, Ye Tianfan breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "I don't know our exact location now; I don't recognize the surroundings at all."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay, unsure of what to do!
After all, the world is vast. Are they supposed to live here forever?
Before the thoughts in everyone's minds could deepen, Ye Tianfan continued, "But in the far distance, I saw a place that seems familiar. However, because it's too far, I can't make out what it specifically is. So I've decided to go and check it out. Will you follow , or wait here?"
Everyone looked at each other, then said, "We are willing to go with the Benefactor!"
The reason everyone said this was because they feared that once Ye Tianfan found a familiar place and a way back, he would leave without them, or return first to his sect and then send soone to find them.
That's why they wanted to follow Ye Tianfan.
Ye Tianfan nonchalantly nodded; it didn't really matter to him. Whether they followed or not didn't make much difference. If they did, it would only slow the pace slightly. A few hundred kiloters wouldn't take too long anyway.
So Ye Tianfan said, "Since you choose to follow , just as before, those with good physical strength should carry those with less strength, and let's pick up the pace!"
Ye Tianfan was subtly suggesting to accommodate the experinted humans, referring to the physically strong ones. They were the ones who had undergone successful experints, now possessing physical abilities, strength, and agility far beyond normal humans.
The ones with less strength were those who had failed in the experints. Their strength hadn't improved much, but they bore the sa monstrous appearance as the successful experinters, only with the sa weak strength as ordinary humans.
The successful experinters nodded in agreent, since they were all originally ordinary people and knew they were now much stronger than normal people. Any one of the successful experinters could easily wipe out a small town without a scratch.
If they didn't carry the ordinary people, the few hundred kiloters would take the ordinary ones a long ti to cover, especially since this entire area was a forest.
