497: Chapter 496: Ning Fan Arrives at the Palace【11 More】 497: Chapter 496: Ning Fan Arrives at the Palace【11 More】 “What are you looking at?” Chen Fengnan felt something strange and asked as if he had thought of something.
This time, before Ning Fan could speak, a rustling sound suddenly came from that direction.
At the same time, A-Yu’s deep voice also sounded, “I see them, it’s the Skull Guild’s men; they’ve actually managed to track us here!”
At this point, the others saw it too and after exchanging glances, they quickly changed direction and fled again.
“The Skull Legion originated in South America and is very familiar with this kind of jungle terrain.
Moreover, their scouting and tracking are terrifying.
If we can’t get out of the Amazon Jungle, they will cling to us like flesh maggots and we’ll never shake them off,” Ning Fan explained to everyone.
As he spoke, he looked around.
Although Ning Fan’s sense of direction was not very good, because it was his first time here, he had briefly memorized the direction they had come from and their route.
This time, they ran for another half hour, thinking they had finally lost them, but unexpectedly, in less than ten minutes, they were discovered again by the Skull Guild’s men.
“Damn it, how did they find us?” A-Feng exclaimed in frustration, picking up Chen Fengnan and once again making a run for it.
This time, they had only run for five minutes when Ning Fan suddenly shouted, “Stop.”
The group, puzzled, looked at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan raised his head and discerned the surroundings for a while before speaking, “All of you are capable fighters, and if you’re careful in the jungle, even if the Skull Legion encounters us, they won’t be able to do much.
Moreover, as far as I know, there shouldn’t be any pursuers in the direction ahead.”
Ning Fan said this and pointed toward the direction in front of him.
Chen Fengnan nodded slightly, as if having an epiphany, and turned to Ning Fan sharply, “What do you mean?”
“I mean, if you all run in this direction now, and if you encounter pursuers, run southeast.
Continue in this direction if safe.
With your speed, you should be able to get out of here in three hours,” Ning Fan unconvincingly guided them on the direction.
“You all?
What do you mean?” A-Yu, the most meticulous among them, asked in surprise.
“Yes, just you all.
If you follow the direction I told you, you should be able to get out quickly.
I’ll stay behind to block them,” Ning Fan said.
“No way,” Chen Fengnan almost instantly shook his head: “You came here with me, now that I’m leaving, how can I let you stay here alone?”
“Yeah, let’s leave together.
Isn’t there no pursuer now?
Besides, every time we’ve encountered them, we’ve been able to leave unscathed.
They probably can’t catch up,” A-Feng also chimed in to persuade.
Strangely enough, the Four King Kongs, who had previously been hostile towards Ning Fan, were now considering his well-being.
“You’re being too naive.
This is their territory.
Can’t you see what they are doing?” Ning Fan said with a bitter smile.
The Four King Kongs and Chen Fengnan still seemed a bit confused, looking at Ning Fan doubtfully after hearing his words.
“We have indeed encountered them many times before, and indeed we have always escaped, but haven’t you realized that this is exactly their intention?” Ning Fan looked at the four and said, “At first, we encountered them every one or two hours, but later, the frequency increased.
That means we are being slowly driven into their trap!”
“What?” Their faces changed slightly.
Being intelligent people, they had been too busy running to think deeply about it, but now that they thought about it, it indeed seemed so.
Just half an hour ago, those men had discovered them.
Moreover, it seemed that they had no intention of pursuing them aggressively, just as Ning Fan had said, they were herding ducks!
Eventually, they would completely surround Ning Fan and his group and capture them in a trap!
“Trust me, the next encirclement will definitely be more than just a few people,” Ning Fan sighed, looking in the direction he had previously pointed to, “There will be people coming from this direction soon too, you better be careful, and you need to move fast.
This is your only chance.”
“But what about you?” A-Yu asked worriedly.
Chen Fengnan also felt somewhat guilty; he was the one who had asked Ning Fan for help, and now Ning Fan was proposing to stay behind.
To them, staying behind meant that he would likely die here alone.
To sacrifice one person for everyone else to survive.
The Four King Kongs were somewhat moved by this thought.
A-Lei, a man of great loyalty, although previously somewhat hostile towards Ning Fan, could no longer hold back his emotions upon seeing Ning Fan like this.
He stepped forward and gave Ning Fan a bear hug, his voice shaking with emotion, “Big brother, from now on, you’re my big brother.
Take good care of yourself.”
Ning Fan was slightly taken aback, looking at the few men, and chuckled bitterly to himself about how it seemed like he was really going to die here.
“Hey, hey, hey, I’m not dead yet, what are you doing?
Moreover, you better hurry up, or it’ll really be too late,” Ning Fan said, feeling speechless and too lazy to explain further, urging them on again.
Ning Fan didn’t believe he was going to die here.
If Ning Fan stayed behind alone, his safety was actually maximized, and this way, he could also ensure that Chen Fengnan and the others could leave safely.
This was a return favor, and Ning Fan felt quite relieved about it.
“Alright, take good care of yourself,” Chen Fengnan looked deeply into Ning Fan’s eyes and said seriously, “When you return, I will personally welcome you back.”
“Alright!” Ning Fan nodded.
He pointed out the direction once more, watching as their figures disappeared into the depths of the dense jungle.
Ning Fan let out a slight sigh of relief, glanced around, and with a flash, disappeared from the spot.
Inside the jungle, Ning Fan moved forward and shifted positions according to the coordinates he had calculated previously, beginning his plan.
Since he had to delay these guys, he might as well play along with them.
That was Ning Fan’s current plan.
In the jungle, countless members of the Skull Guild, clad in black masks, were busily setting up their encirclement, but they were utterly unaware that their plot had already been completely seen through by Ning Fan.
And if everything went without a hitch, Chen Fengnan and the others should be able to leave safely very soon.
Ning Fan didn’t just hide; instead, he began searching with a target in the depths of the jungle.
