Although Liao Er was extremely shocked to see that Su Luo was about to fly away, he quickly came back to his senses. After all, how could he just let Su Luo leave like this?

Thus, Liao Er hurriedly picked up the communication amulet and sent the news to Leng Xiao.

Leng Xiao’s brows knitted together tightly: "What did you say? She has a golden airship?"

How did that vile wench obtain such a luxury item? Not even he had one, and as far as he knew, even the top three on the Dragon List might not have one either!

Liao Er spread his hands open as if to gesture ‘how would he know’?

"Could it be that Su Luo truly has a really powerful backer supporting her? Boss, if so..." Liao Er said with difficulty.

"If that is the case, we must kill her in extreme secrecy to avoid future troubles!" Leng Xiao's tone was extremely firm! This was because he and Su Luo were already mortal enemies who wouldn’t stop fighting until the other was dead!

"Furthermore!" Leng Xiao’s eyes lit up as he very quickly came to a realization, yet he grit his teeth while saying, "Isn't her luck really good? She must have won the airship in the lottery!"

As soon as he mentioned the lottery, Leng Xiao felt a stifling sensation in his chest. He swelled up with so much anger that his chest began to throb with a dull ache.

"Now, I order you to force her into Sunset Forest and unconditionally stop her from going to Upstream Mountain!" Leng Xiao knew that if they allowed this potential calamity to continue existing [1], it would be as difficult as reaching the heavens to eliminate her once she became an established threat in the future.

"Yes, sir!" Liao Er nodded solemnly. "Boss, don't worry, the defense of the golden airship is not strong. All you need to do is just wait and see!"

After listening to Liao Er's words, Leng Xiao's mouth hooked into a sneer. That vile wench wanted to try to escape? Haha! This was reality. If he killed her, then she would really die. He would wait and see just how she was going to escape from his inescapable trap!

Su Luo wasn’t familiar with the map of Sunset Forest at all when she first arrived. However, Liao Er’s group had wandered in it every day, so now they could practically walk right out of it with their eyes closed. Therefore, as long as they managed to force Su Luo into Sunset Forest, the monsters would be able to eat her alive. Even if there was a chance that she survived, he still had a dozen of his subordinates lying in wait. Su Luo would be left with no escape!

Leng Xiao's newfound self-assuredness caused him to rush on to the Sunset Forest with a card up his sleeve.

At this time, Su Luo and Big Sister Wei were sitting on the golden airship and were about to leave. Yet just as the golden airship began to rise, Su Luo sensed danger was approaching.

"Boom!!!"

A strong gust of wind hit the golden airship and threw it askew, causing it to almost fall down headfirst.

Su Luo frowned slightly.

This golden airship had good speed, but it was truly unsatisfactory in terms of defense.

She finally stabilized the golden airship with some difficulty, but the other party had encircled them with a ring of wind blades. They tightened the circle continuously, with a resonating swishing sound!

Su Luo knitted her eyebrows together tightly. She calculated that if the situation continued on like this, the golden airship would be cut to pieces by the wind blades within an hour, which wasn’t something she wished to see.

Although Su Luo clearly knew she was the one the other party was forcing off the golden airship, she had no choice but to bring Big Sister Wei down there with her. This was an overt plot.

Just before the two of them exited the golden airship, another attack of wind and lightning slammed into it.

Big Sister Wei was caught off balance momentarily and lost her footing. She suddenly hit the wall, causing a big bump to form on her forehead.

She was instantly filled with anger!

Waving her big wooden club while charging out, Big Sister Wei shouted angrily: "Who is it that’s looking to cause a fight? Show yourself to me!"

However, when Liao Er saw Big Sister Wei rush out, he immediately turned around and ran into Sunset Forest!

If Liao Er hadn't run, he would have been immediately beaten up by Big Sister Wei, and she would let go of her anger. Nevertheless, the problem was that he retreated, so she had no means of venting her anger and thus fell for Liao Er’s trap. She charged forwards while pointing with her big club: " What kind of evildoer dares to provoke me? I’m watching you!"

When Big Sister Wei charged forwards, Su Luo had the intention to stop her but wasn’t even able to grasp onto the corner of her clothes. So Su Luo could only watch as Big Sister Wei ran into the distance.

As Su Luo gazed at Sunset Forest, she furrowed her eyes deeply. However, she didn’t have time to think about this right now, so she went chasing after Big Sister Wei.

Much like the saying about how ‘the gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall’, Su Luo’s character was one that would generally avoid, or at least try to avoid, a place like the forest, knowing it was dangerous. Despite that, there were two reasons preventing her from doing so. Firstly, Big Sister Wei had already rushed into the forest. Secondly, their intended destination was the Upstream Mountain, and this was the only way to get there.

The golden airship couldn’t fly over it, so that meant they could only get there by walking on land.

Su Luo looked at the thicketed jungle, and her eyes darkened… Her sixth sense told her that there were countless dangers waiting for her in this forest.

Meanwhile, Liao Er was moving things along very quickly.

Utilizing his familiarity with the terrain, he was able to let Big Sister Wei follow him closely without letting her catch him. Simultaneously, he was able to run while reporting their progress to Leng Xiao.

"Boss, boss, the Ant Nest will soon be in front of us!" Liao Er's voice had a hint of excitement.

The Ant Nest, as the name implied, meant a nest of ants. In it were millions of bee ants, and these bee ants were known in Sunset Forest for being barbaric, even on normal days. So even Leng Xiao would avoid them.

"Good! Good! The Ant Nest! Hahaha!" Receiving this news put Leng Xiao in a good mood.

At this hour, the bee ants were usually all gathered in their nest to rest. If anyone dared to disturb them, they would definitely face death.

Liao Er was rather smart. Knowing that he would be defeated if he fought alone, he had set up this strategy in advance.

"Boss, as a subordinate, I must help you kill that vile wench and assist you in getting revenge!" Liao Er slapped his chest proudly with an emotional expression of someone who would die for his friend!

"Okay, you can go! It’s up to you to set this predicament right!" Leng Xiao said sternly.

Putting down the communication amulet, Liao Er looked back at Big Sister Wei who was still relentlessly chasing after him, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He cursed inwardly: ‘Idiot, follow me and see how you’ll die this time!!!’ Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Liao Er dodged here and there as he dashed forward. Following his trail, Big Sister Wei shouted furiously and increased her speed. However, because she was unfamiliar with the terrain, the distance between them did not decrease.

In order to go to Upstream Mountain, it was necessary to traverse Sunset Forest, which was full of mountains. Liao Er's direction was leading towards Su Luo's intended destination, so she did not deliberately attempt to stop Big Sister Wei.

An hour later, a mysterious sneer suddenly appeared at the corners of Liao Er's mouth. Then his figure flashed, and he quickly jumped onto a thousand-year-old tree and concealed himself there.

Very quickly, Big Sister Wei caught up to him, but Liao Er had already disappeared, and she couldn't seem to find him no matter how hard she searched.

Big Sister Wei had originally been holding in her anger, but as she came farther and farther in her pursuit, she became increasingly suffocated by her anger. Just as she was about to have the chance to vent her anger, she found that Liao Er had disappeared. This made her anger soar again, and she felt as if her lungs were about to blow up.

"Jerk! Come out and show yourself to me!" Big Sister Wei yelled loudly, waving her big wooden club.

On the tree, Liao Er was overcome with joy! The corners of his mouth were stretched in a wide grin, almost reaching the base of his ears. He made a fist and silently encouraged Big Sister Wei in his heart: ‘Scream. Hurry up and scream louder! Yell at the Ant Nest until the ants storm out!’
