Chapter Fifty-One Separate Actions
After years of growth, the Fear Forest has become extremely lush, with branches intertwined in threes and twos, dense leaves blocking out the sunlight above, making the already mysterious forest even darker.
Lao Ba Te had already put down Lin Feng in his arms, and the two of them hid together in a corner of the forest, quietly observing their surroundings.
Although he was much faster than a horse as a great warrior, the consumption was extremely high. Only when they had no choice would people who reached the level of a great warrior abandon their horses and run alone. Lao Baite didn't prepare any horses to begin with, but he hadn't expected Lin Feng to make the atmosphere so awkward. Having no other choice, this was what he could only do.
At this time, he was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, trying hard to recover the depleted aura.
"Coach Bate, why is this forest called the Forest of Fear?"
He strolled around for a while, looking east and west, and found that the forest was extremely quiet, not even a hint of insect chirping could be heard. This silent environment made him feel very uncomfortable, and he even felt a hint of oppression.
He furrowed his brow and added, "Is it just because of the eerie atmosphere of this forest?"
Lin Feng was apparently unaware of the legend about this forest, and in fact, he originally lived in the south. Although the legend about the small lake in the forest was well-known to everyone, it had been so many years since then. Lin Feng, who had just arrived in this world for over a decade, had only just arrived in the Imperial City, and not knowing about this matter was also very normal.
"Hey kid, keep your voice down!"
Old Barte opened his eyes and stood up, looking around before turning back to scold Lin Feng, then turned around to continue observing, saying in a low voice: "This forest is called the Forest of Fear because deep within it lies a small lake. You'd best not wander about randomly, kid. I'm certain that Carson's two guard captains have caught up with us by now. If they discover us, you're done for!"
"Alright."
Lin Feng helplessly shrugged his shoulders, honestly approaching Old Bart, but his gaze was still looking around, apparently the forest brought him a kind of oppressive feeling that made his heart produce a trace of inexplicable fear.
Lao Bate was still wrapped in his night clothes, only revealing two eyes. He quietly observed the surroundings of the forest, exposing his old back completely to the wind in the forest.
Lin Feng gazed at Old Bao's back and inexplicably felt a sense of calmness and tranquility, his heart relaxed, and the oppressive feeling he had just now was greatly alleviated.
With an elder like Bartre having such strength protecting me, I should be safe, right?
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly felt a hint of regret in his heart. He regretted being too impulsive when he was at the Marquis's residence and shouldn't have spoken so absolutely. Although it felt great at the time, Lin Feng now vaguely felt that something was off.
Even in my heart, I feel inexplicably annoyed!
He looked around again, let out a soft sigh, and couldn't help but feel a little worried... could he still get out of this forest? What would his mother Nina do if he died?
It was just an impulsive action, an impulsive action...
At this moment, Lin Feng's state of mind was quietly undergoing a change...
……
Suddenly, Old Bate in front of him suddenly crouched down, Lin Feng didn't understand why, but inexplicably felt a shock in his heart and also quickly crouched down. The next moment, from the direction outside the forest, a cold shout full of ridicule echoed far away: "How long do you want to hide in the Fear Forest? Don't think I don't know you're inside!"
"It's Mark's voice!"
Lin Feng subconsciously blurted out the owner of the voice he had heard.
Old Bao didn't turn around, his eyes fixed on the front, his voice calm: "Shh, don't speak, just take a look quietly."
"Can't come out? Then we'll just go in..."
Suddenly, another voice came from afar, only this voice sounded a bit hoarse and was obviously not Mark's.
"Damn it, just as I thought, Char also came." Old Barte was somewhat annoyed, with a hint of worry in his voice: "If only Mark had come, it wouldn't be a big deal... But Char has 9th-level strength, and he's also good at speed..."
As he spoke, he thought for a moment and suddenly turned to Lin Feng in a low voice: "Hiding like this won't work either. Kid, don't run around here, it's best if you find a place to hide nearby. I'll go out and lure them away, then when the time is right, rush out of the forest and return to the academy as fast as possible. Go straight to Dean's office, with Dean's protection, no one will dare to cause trouble! However, if you do rush out of the forest, be careful on your way back, I'm worried that Carson might set up an ambush along the way."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to flash out, but Lin Feng grabbed a corner of his clothes and said hastily: "Coach Batte, this forest is so big, they may not be able to find us!"
"Kid, what do you know!" Old Bater grumbled irritably: "I understand that guy Carson's temper, he does things without leaving any loopholes. These two great Shuaiwei may just be the first batch, I believe it won't take long before he sends a second batch of people over!"
"The second batch?" Lin Feng still didn't quite understand.
"Hmph, do you think the second batch will only have two people? Old Barte was getting impatient: "Alright, kid, hurry up and hide already! You don't have much time left to escape! And you're quite something, I've never made a move since becoming a Great Warrior, yet this first time is for your sake, you little brat!"
After saying this, Old Bate didn't even look at Lin Feng and immediately withdrew his clothes. His whole body was filled with a fierce aura, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Lin Feng's sight.
His words had already reached this point, and Lin Feng gradually understood. Listening to Old Barte's meaning, the two great Shihai must have set up many marks on the road while chasing them, and the second batch of people sent by the Marquis would definitely not be just two!
Lin Feng sighed inwardly, he understood that once the Marquis sent a large number of people, even if this forest was huge, it could be turned upside down!
In the end, I had no choice but to follow Old Pat's advice.
After all, the second group of people will come to the forest, and there will be a vacuum time in between. As long as they seize this vacuum time, escape from the forest, find a place to hide, and they can avoid this matter!
As for Old Bater's safety, Lin Feng was not worried at all. He believed that Old Bater would never go to his death for himself!
Thinking of this, Lin Feng's heart felt a little lighter. He glanced around and his gaze stopped at the big tree in front of him.
He took a deep breath, grasped the trunk with both hands, and simultaneously exerted force with his arms and legs. Before long, he climbed up the tree.
He prepared to hide in the forest first, wait for a chance, and then rush out of the forest!!
Boom!
Just as Lin Feng had just climbed up the tree and hadn't adjusted his state yet, a shocking explosion suddenly came from afar!
Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a sudden chill. He glanced sideways in the direction of the explosion, which was exactly where Old Bart had left!
The sudden explosion was like two powerful energies colliding, and with the sound of the explosion, Xial's angry and hoarse voice immediately followed: "Bastard, who are you! I never thought... that another ninth-level powerhouse would appear on the mainland!"
Boom!
Another energy collision sound, but this time the sound is much farther away from the first one. Lin Feng understood that this was probably Old Man Bart intentionally creating an energy collision to let him know that he had already led the two Shuai Wei away. After a while, when the rumbling sound was almost inaudible, Lin Feng knew it was time for him to escape...
