When he entered the forest, he realized that the ground was covered with sharp thorns. No matter if it was a man or a horse, as long as they stepped on it, the sharp branches would pierce through their feet. No wonder the soldiers were screaming! Nanyun Lan immediately displayed his Qing Gong and leaped up. He lightly tapped the spike on his finger, searching for Xiao Tianyuan's trace, "Xiao Tianyuan!"

Xiao Tian Yuan jumped into the air and was about to stop Nan Yu Lan, but who knew that Nan Yu Lan had already rushed in. He knew that saying anything else would be of no use, so he shouted: "Be careful! There's an ambush here! "

Before he could finish his words, the two groups of archers from a moment ago had already rushed out of the forest and started shooting at the soldiers. Many of the soldiers who were hit by the arrows were screaming! Seeing this, Nan Yulan shouted: "Everyone, retreat!" As she spoke, she pulled out the arrows. With her martial arts skills, those arrows would not be able to harm her, but it also made Xiao Tian Yuan alarmed.

Hearing Nan Yulan's shout, Xiao Tianyuan jumped in front of her and asked urgently: "Are you alright?"

Nan Yu Lan shook her head and said in a clear voice: "Don't worry about me, let's quickly leave!"

Xiao Tian Yuan looked over, at this time Hou Di had already firmly grasped the jungle's surroundings, it seemed like they didn't plan to let them escape, even if they were at a disadvantage, Fang Zi Nan's army was still not far away, and it was very possible that they could charge up at any time, and it was not without a chance of winning. He raised his black ink sword and shouted, "Charge out with me!"

As he spoke, Nan Yu Lan also rushed out, and the soldiers who were accompanying him also rushed out when they saw the situation. Although the Grand Preceptor had ambushed many archers around him, Xiao Tianyuan's men were all courageous and battle-ready. Even though there were many casualties, their morale was still there, and their fighting spirit still remained! When they saw the main general rushing out, they all rushed out together.

Xiao Tian Yuan took the lead and shouted at the same time, "Watch your step!"

The sharpened branches of the trees had wounded many of the soldiers, but the archers were still shooting. Seeing that, Nan Yu Lan gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Tian Yuan: "Let's open up a path first!"

"Alright!" In the blink of an eye, the Grand Preceptor's encirclement was about to be broken through by them. Xiao Tianyuan and South Yulan guarded the gap, continuously expanding the gap so that the soldiers could make a step further and break out of it.

He had planned to surround them as soon as Xiao Tianyuan entered the forest. He hadn't expected that Xiao Tianyuan would be so bold as to tear a hole in his encirclement and possibly break out at any moment. Panicking and confused, he commanded the archer, "Fire the rocket!"

With this order, the archers immediately charged towards Xiao Tian Yuan and the rest. There were many trees in this forest and it was the beginning of winter, so the leaves had already fallen and only the branches were left. Even if the arrows did not hit anyone, the forest was still ablaze!

"Let's go!" Xiao Tian's vision was sharp as he grabbed Nan Yu Lan's hand and chopped towards the nearest archer. As a general, victory and defeat were not the most shameful things. What was most important was that Nan Yu Lan would not be harmed! However, the mountain wind was fierce and the fire was fierce. The two of them had almost reached the edge of the forest, where the wind was blowing them over, almost burning their faces to the ground. Girls loved their faces the most, especially when they were beautiful women like Nan Yu Lan. Xiao Tian Yuan panicked when he heard that and thought Nan Yu Lan was hurt. He asked urgently, "Lan, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine!" Nan Yu Lan smiled, but the fire was blown away by the wind, causing her hair to curl up, giving her a charred smell. Xiao Tian, who was extremely close to her, panicked when he smelled the burnt smell coming from her hair. He hastily grabbed onto her small hand with a concerned expression on his face as he asked: "Lan, are you afraid?"

Nan Yu Lan shook his head: "I'm not afraid!"

At that moment, the rockets flew in from all directions. Many soldiers were either shot by arrows or struck by spikes on the ground. They wailed in pain as their surroundings were lit up in flames! Xiao Tianyuan was secretly anxious. He looked at the fire and thought: Why haven't Fang Zinan and the others come to rescue him yet?

At this time, Fang Zinan was still five miles away from the forest, waiting anxiously with Dongfang Luojing. Suddenly, he saw a signalman rushing in front of him. He hurriedly approached him and asked, "General, is something wrong?"

"What is it?"

"General Xiao and the rest might be the ones lying in ambush. When I went there, I did not see any large groups of people. However, I saw a fire starting in the forest!" The soldier looked anxious.

Fang Zinan's face darkened. He had thought that the Grand Preceptor would be powerless to fight back this time, but who would've thought that he would still be capable of something like this? His face turned pale with anger as he immediately ordered, "Army, follow me forward. We must rescue General Xiao!"

The flames in the forest grew stronger, and what angered the Grand Preceptor even more was that there were situations where people had to seal off all exits and release arrows. After firing, he ordered the infantry to stand guard around the forest, and when they saw someone rushing out, they rushed forward to kill him. Nan Yu Lan turned his head to look at him, only to see that under the light of the fire, his eyebrows were even thicker, his eyes were brighter, his nose was more straight, his heroic spirit and handsomeness were all displayed on his face, he was also showing deep concern for himself, and was both moved and warm. He gently said: "Don't worry about me! We'll definitely be able to charge out. " Her voice was very soft, soft as a breeze, but it was very firm and resolute, as if she wanted to make Xiao Tianyuan feel at ease.

Before Xiao Tianyuan could say anything, he suddenly heard the Grand Preceptor's cold laugh. "Xiao Tianyuan, you won't be able to escape. Today will be the day you die!"

Xiao Tianyuan snorted coldly and glanced out of the forest. He saw the Grand Preceptor riding a chestnut horse from District 1 and standing outside the encirclement. Xiao Tianyuan took in a deep breath and raised his voice. "Grand Preceptor, stop dreaming. Right now, you're at the end of your road. Quickly put down your weapon and surrender, otherwise, I'll make you die a graveless death!"

"Hahahaha!" Grand Preceptor Xie laughed wildly. "What a joke!" "You're still being stubborn even when you're about to die, today I will chop off your head and avenge Hong'er!" As he spoke, he waved the large saber in his hand. "Continue shooting!"

As he heard the order, the arrows became denser and faster.

Xiao Tian Yuan was hurriedly protecting Southcloud, afraid that she would be hurt by the arrow. However, the situation turned worse and worse. Although he could dodge this round of attacks, he could not avoid the smoke from the burning trees, making it so that he could not even open his eyes! Nan Yu Lan opened her mouth to answer, but choked on the thick smoke, and coughed loudly. It wasn't just Southland, even the wounded soldiers who were still trying to break out of the encirclement were coughing. Their eyes were smothered by the smoke as tears streamed down their faces.
