Led by the three major leaders, including War Wolf, everyone was pursuing Ye Fan and Mengyao, appearing from all directions and closing in on their prey.
The figures of Ye Fan and Mengyao were within their sight. Although the mountain was towering and the forest dense, to them, Ye Fan and Mengyao's fleeing figures were in full view. The direction they were escaping towards was a sheer cliff, a dead end. War Wolf and his men were very aware of this since their base was just outside the Primitive Forest, so their familiarity with this forest was unparalleled.
Ye Fan was able to adapt to this Primitive Forest and undertake effective counterattacks and responses, disregarding those who pursued him. This was because his capability lay here, and no matter how perilous the environment, it was like a fish in water for him.
But now, his situation was a bit difficult. The pursuers were closing in, and there were no gaps he could find to escape from under their watchful eyes. Hence, he could only find a direction with no enemies and escape down it first.
His purpose now was simple, to take one step at a time, with no extra time to think it over.
Although Ye Fan had already sensed something was amiss, with the enemy surging up, they naturally held a determination to kill. The lack of encounters with enemies ahead wasn't because they hadn't gathered in that direction yet but due to geographical reasons that prevented interception. He could figure this out, but there was nothing he could do, hoping only to avoid the enemy's sight first.
"The road ahead is a dead end. I am looking forward to seeing how long those two can keep running," War Wolf chuckled, observing the fleeing figures through the binoculars, his expression exceptionally stern.
"It's time to end this. After such a sacrifice, we're finally going to cut down the enemy," Beauty Snake smirked coldly.
Climbing Tiger gave a cold smile, filled with killing intent, "The two prey have no way out. Let me create a bit more trouble for them, make sure they can't escape too quickly."
With that, he set up the sniper rifle, aiming its icy barrel at the two on the run.
"Rush up at top speed, shoot upon sight of the prey, suppressing them under the gun fire, and torture them to death in sequence," War Wolf ordered each squad leader in pursuit.
Immediately, the pursuers sped up, increasing their speed to the extreme. In terms of speed, they couldn't match Ye Fan, but with Chu Mengyao alongside him, Ye Fan's speed was a bit slower, which gave the pursuers more opportunities.
For a moment, the entire mountain and field trembled. The members of the Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps lived up to their name, like beasts in the mountain forest, breaking through obstacles and chasing swiftly.
The situation for Ye Fan and Mengyao became more precarious, as if the danger level increased with time.
By now, the noises from the pursuers behind were quite clear.
Ye Fan didn't have the luxury to worry about anything else. He could only focus on escaping rapidly with Mengyao in tow. At this time, Mengyao also unleashed an almost potential speed, closely following Ye Fan at full speed.
Both Ye Fan and Mengyao knew they were at a critical juncture, with danger at its peak. Any misstep could leave them without a grave, but neither surrendered to fate, using every ounce of their ability for rapid movement.
"Bang!" With a light sound, a bullet was fired from Climbing Tiger's sniper rifle, accompanied by sparks and the trembling of the gun barrel, the bullet tore through the air at terrifying speed towards Mengyao's body.
His goal was simple, first intending to severely injure Mengyao, creating complications for Ye Fan, thus making it easier to kill the target. If they targeted Ye Fan directly, the risk of errors was quite high, but targeting Mengyao increased the insurance factor.
Ye Fan sensed the approaching danger, drawing from keen experience and instincts. He pulled Mengyao to the side, dodging the bullet's lethal intent, albeit at the cost of their undivided focus on escaping.
"Damn it, missed the shot." Climbing Tiger cursed fiercely.
"Ye Fan is quite capable. Even someone like us can sense the looming danger instinctively and evade, so missing the shot is understandable," War Wolf commented indifferently.
"But, my target was that woman, not Ye Fan," Climbing Tiger grumbled resentfully.
"How is that possible? His perception is that sharp?" War Wolf questioned incredulously. "Sensing attacks on those around him beforehand, such skill is astonishing."
"It is indeed uncanny," Beauty Snake commented ominously, "However, the more terrifying the power he displays, the more we need to kill him. Such an enemy cannot be left alive, or else the consequences will be dire."
"Rest assured, the two prey are doomed," War Wolf said, also lying prone like Climbing Tiger, setting up the sniper rifle. "The Second Leader and I attacking together, I refuse to believe he can dodge this."
Beauty Snake watched through her binoculars, her pupils filled with astonishment.
It turned out that Ye Fan could indeed evade bullets fired from a sniper rifle, as if he had eyes on his back, knowing exactly from what direction the bullets were traveling.
The speed of Ye Fan and Mengyao, however, was greatly reduced, and soon the pursuers were not far behind.
The gunfire poured down like rain, fiercely aiming at the two of them.
After sprinting over a small hill, Ye Fan and Mengyao were slightly out of breath, but there was no time to care for anything else, only to run with all their might.
The sniper rifles of the three leaders had lost their effectiveness, no longer shooting, and they personally joined the pursuit.
Ye Fan couldn't retaliate. This situation would let more enemies surround him, so all he could do was find a way out and dodge the bullets.
Thus, they held on for another five minutes.
Behind them, the number of pursuers increased and drew closer.
In front of them, Ye Fan and Mengyao saw the chasm-like abyss looming in their sight.
"Ratatat!" Bullets fell like rain, shattering rocks and leveling vegetation.
Occasionally, the sounds of grenades exploding, boom, boom, exploded.
The three leaders were closing in, emitting a cold killing intent.
No way out in front, a dead end behind.
Now, they were at the end of their rope, unable to escape this catastrophe.
The Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps, half of those pursuing them, had gathered together.
At this moment, Ye Fan and Mengyao were hiding behind a large rock.
