Chapter 1359 - 1359 1345 Let Fate Decide

Chapter 1359: Chapter 1345: Let Fate Decide Chapter 1359: Chapter 1345: Let Fate Decide Guo Yuyun charged forward, but the Wolf King had already disappeared into the dense jungle. She anxiously looked at Meng Xiuluo and asked, “Why didn’t you stop him?”

“Didn’t you see we were all blown away?” Meng Xiuluo said coldly, still feeling sore in her hand, probably due to the shock wave from earlier.

“Hurry up, we must chase after him.”

“It’s no use catching up; we’ve already tried our best.”

“What do you mean, tried? Are you going to just let him go?” Guo Yuyun herself was at a loss, her martial arts not very advanced, but she seemed to be better than the few followers around the flounder, especially when setting up a formation, capable of facing off against the Wolf King for a bit.

Meng Xiuluo was very clear that at this moment, the magic power had not taken control of Ye Chen; otherwise, the Wolf King would not have fled so quickly. She said, “We’ve already caused the magic power to be greatly depleted. Whether he can survive and control the magic power without succumbing to madness depends on fate now.” The Silver Needle just now also counted as giving the cheap guy an assist; that was all she could do.

“You must have a way, right? Just think of something to help.”

“I have no way, didn’t you see all of my people are injured?” She walked towards those few old men and added, “How are you guys, no life-threatening injuries right?”

The sound of coughing came incessantly; it seemed there were no serious injuries.

Guo Yuyun said, “We can’t just ignore him like this.”

“I’ve done all that I can. If he can make it through, he will; if not, it’s his fate, and we can’t help him.” Meng Xiuluo called Xiang Yi over and commanded, “Release the hunting dogs.”

Xiang Yi understood Meng Xiuluo’s intention; she wanted the hunting dogs to track, and if that guy really went mad, they would know it sooner.

Meng Xiuluo continued, “Hurry to the forest. Even though we’ve shaken off Ling Li and the others, no one knows if they’ve given up on the search. They might continue to look for us.” It would be dangerous if they knew she had brought people onto the island. She added, “Remember, leave no traces that could expose us.”

Guo Yuyun kept praying, restless and hopping about, yet unable to help in any way.

“I advise you not to run around recklessly. I don’t know what’s in the woods. If you end up alone and encounter trouble, no one can help you. Even if you find that boy, it’s useless. If he doesn’t release the energy from his body, he won’t be able to control the magic power. If you’re unlucky, he really might bite you, and then I can’t guarantee what will become of you.”

Meng Xiuluo looked ahead to a canyon that seemed capable of providing temporary shelter from the wind and rain; pointing to the front, she said, “Alright, let’s rest up ahead.”

Xiang Yi had people prepare food and others to survey the island.

For Meng Xiuluo, of course, it wasn’t a big deal; if the monkey went crazy, she could just kill him and then take the Wolf King’s Ring. But for Guo Yuyun, such an outcome was absolutely unacceptable.

The heavy rain had stopped, but a light rain continued to drift down, and the constant pitter-patter of droplets didn’t seem like it would stop anytime soon.

Meng Xiuluo also let out a sigh of relief. It had not been easy to escape the danger; naturally, she felt much more relaxed now. It looked like this was a deserted island, an ideal place to hide for the time being.

Who isn’t afraid of death? To come to the Dark Sea Territory directly to look for someone, it was estimated that if Ling Li searched for half a day with no results, he would likely leave soon, and then she could take refuge on the island.

“Ling Li would never imagine that we are hiding on the island,” said Xiang Yi, glancing around at the high climbing vines, which were thick due to the abundant moisture, making the plants grow bountifully. “Just find an opportunity and climb for your life,” she thought, noticing some trees reaching up to seven or eight Zhang, uncertain of how many years they had grown.

The monkeys in the forest clamored tirelessly, flitting through the treetops.

Xiang Yi still felt somewhat reassured and said, “People from the Thirty-six Islands will definitely not enter the Dark Sea Territory.”

A subordinate behind her remarked, “Even if they aren’t afraid of danger and come into the Dark Sea Territory, what can they do? There are hundreds, if not thousands, of islands in the Dark Sea Territory; they don’t have the manpower to search them one by one.”

“Hurry and get the food ready. Make sure everyone stays vigilant; who can guarantee that they won’t just happen to come to this deserted island?” Meng Xiuluo was much more cautious than others.

Xiang Yi shook her head, “They also won’t know that we are on the island; we have already eliminated all traces.”

“Fine, prepare the food. After eating, let everyone rest. We also need to figure out how to build a boat,” Meng Xiuluo instructed.

Xiang Yi nodded slightly, “That’s true. We’re in the Dark Sea Territory; there won’t be any ships coming here. We have to find our own way out.”

“Good that you understand. When the time comes, summon all of our shipbuilders and carpenters.”

“Understood,” Xiang Yi left.

Meng Xiuluo leaned against a cliff, gulping down water; it must be noon by now, though it felt like morning.

This was a large island, and Guo Yuyun didn’t know where Ye Chen had run off to. She was very anxious and approached Meng Xiuluo, asking, “You just sent out the hunting dogs, they should be tracking Ye Chen, right?”

“You should stop jumping around; it’s useless. If he really can make it, naturally, you two will meet. If he succumbs to madness, you can’t help. It’s best to stay as far away as possible.”

“No, no, it won’t happen. He will definitely get through this, he must,” she insisted.

“Having the Wolf King’s Ring, you should have anticipated that such a day might come,” Meng Xiuluo took another sip of water, then added, “We’ll talk more after dusk.”

By that time, he will either have controlled the magic power or fallen into madness.

Guo Yuyun never expected such a moment to arrive so suddenly. Just this morning, there had been laughter and talk, and then in an instant, it all turned serious. She couldn’t believe that all this was actually happening. Her mind was in chaos, not knowing what to do, just utterly confused.

Time flew by quickly.

Before she knew it, the rain had stopped, it must be dusk, Guo Yuyun finally waited until dusk, that girl had said that after dusk, she would help to look for him.

A few people returned at that moment, heading towards Meng Xiuluo. Guo Yuyun remembered clearly that they were the ones Meng Xiuluo had sent out, carrying hunting dogs to presumably track down Ye Chen.

She hurried over, grabbed one of the guys, and asked, “Did you find him?”

The young man replied, “We only know he entered a mountain cave.”

“Did he control the magic power?”

“We don’t know, we didn’t go into the cave; the hunting dogs entered and didn’t come back.”

Guo Yuyun’s eyes widened, not sure what his last statement meant, she hurriedly asked again, “Didn’t he come out of the cave?”

“He hadn’t come out when we left.”

“And you just abandoned him and came back?” Meng Xiuluo seemed somewhat reproachful, almost as if she wanted to kill someone.

“We left two people behind and then returned. They will watch the cave entrance.”

Meng Xiuluo woke up and happened to hear their conversation.

Guo Yuyun was extremely anxious, worried that the girl had gone back on her word, and said, “You promised me that after dusk, you would help me find him.”

“That’s right, I haven’t forgotten, but can we talk about it after I’ve had something to eat?” She had been sleeping most of the afternoon and hardly got any sleep the night before; she was really hungry at the moment.

Guo Yuyun asked again, “Did the dog really not come back out?”

“I have no need to lie to you.” They didn’t dare to go in because the dog hadn’t come out, and they didn’t know what had happened inside. Meng Xiuluo, with a dozen people, was no match for that man; how could they not worry and fear?

Meng Xiuluo said, “Do you want to eat something?”

Guo Yuyun was not in the mood to eat.

Meng Xiuluo could understand her feelings to some extent.

Xiang Yi returned.

Meng Xiuluo asked, “How was it?”

“Don’t worry, no one will know we’re here now.” Xiang Yi had just come back from standing guard.

“Good, that’s reassuring.” Meng Xiuluo passed some food to her.

“We can stay here for a good while.” She thought that people from the thirty-six islands and the Demon Domain were looking for them everywhere; the outside must be very unsafe.

“Whether we like it or not, we have to stay put.”

“True, building a boat will take at least a month or two, but there are plenty of trees on this island, no need to worry about running out of wood.”

“Right, let them all follow the shipbuilder’s and carpenter’s orders.”

“Understood, they will certainly build it as quickly as possible.”

“Tell them not to rush; we have plenty of time.”

Xiang Yi nodded slightly and said, “That’s true, it’s better to stay here than to run around outside.”

“Yes, too many things have happened these past few days.”

“Not just many; it’s been a matter of life and death, and so many people have died.” Xiang Yi found it frightening just thinking about it; they had made narrow escapes each time.

After dinner, Meng Xiuluo led a group of about twenty people, Guo Yuyun among them, guided by the few who had come back earlier. Holding torches, they set off towards the depths of the dense forest.

Though the rain had stopped, the fog in the area was thick, indistinguishable between morning or dusk. The ground was moist, as if soaked in water, perpetually in that state.

Rotten leaves and the carcasses of some animals, smelling like dead rats, rendered one’s nose almost insensate, even the hunting dogs began to sneeze.

“Be careful not to get bitten by a snake.”

It was still some distance to nightfall.
