Chapter 403: Encounter
Editor: Atlas Studios
Scared out of their wits by the elusive Qi Haoran’s team, the Jin soldiers had already failed before they could face the enemy.
At this moment, the Jin Kingdom’s general knew that it was impossible to kill the Qi brothers. If they did not leave the mountain as soon as possible, they did not even know if they could survive.
He could only grit his teeth and ask the guide to bring them out of the mountain. When they reached the grassland, he would definitely reap the lives of the Qi brothers.
But the worst thing was that their guide had lost his way!
The Jin general kicked the man away and roared, “How can you get lost? Aren’t you a guide?”
The guide swallowed the blood in his mouth and cried, “But you’re too deep in. I’ve never walked here before. Usually, I can still rely on the sun or the stars and moon to determine the direction, but… but now it’s a cloudy day. Not only is there no sun, but I’m afraid there won’t be any moon or stars at night.”
He felt even more bitter, okay? These Jin soldiers were led by the nose into the deep forest mountain by the Han soldiers. At first, he was afraid of alarming the ferocious beasts, but clearly, the ferocious beasts were also afraid of them. Seeing the thousands of men rush in, even the wild beasts were smart enough to stay away.
People died from time to time around them, but they couldn’t even see the shadow of the Han soldiers. In his fear, how could he pay attention to the road? Naturally, he followed the battalion and fled. No, he chased after them. He didn’t even know where he had gone. How could he get out if he couldn’t distinguish east from west in this dense forest?
This news undoubtedly added another straw to the despair of the Jin soldiers. Everyone looked at the Jin general in silence. They were walking with their backs facing each other and did not dare to underestimate the situation behind them. They were moving at a slow speed to begin with. If on top of that they got lost, when would they be able to walk out?
The worst thing was that they didn’t have much rations left.
The Jin Kingdom general’s eyes darkened. This was not a grassland, but a forest. If they were on a grassland, they would not be afraid. They could walk out with their intuition and their horses. However, this was a forest with trees all around, and they could only see the forest ten steps ahead.
The Jin general looked at the deputy general.
The deputy general said in a low voice, “General, we left many traces along the way. Let’s follow them out.”
