The last day finally arrived.
But the dampness and darkness in the forest didn’t much lessen.
Gu Qingjiu rushed in a certain direction.
She had no idea whether she was moving on the right path.
She only had to hold on until the competition ended in the afternoon, and they would win the competition.
Their score was 24 points, so there was no doubt they were ranked first.
If no accidents were to arise, she only had to find a spot to hide it out until the competition ended, and they would emerge victoriously.
But Gu Qingjiu knew that it wasn’t so easy.
On the last day, all the countries went crazy in their attacks, going everywhere in search of players.
Even if one chose to hide, it might not necessarily ensure peace. Moreover, Gu Qingjiu simply wasn’t the sort of person to hide.
She narrowed her eyes slightly as she walked into the forest, wary of any dangers in her surroundings.
She had a thought; that was if she would be able to encounter Cruff.
If she didn’t manage to encounter him, she would feel a sense of pity.
But so long as she managed to stop Cruff in his quest for three consecutive wins, it wouldn’t be considered too great a pity.
There was an even and ascending path ahead, and the path seemed to lead next to the main body of a mountain.
She could even hear the sounds of water ahead.
According to logic, such a spot should show traces of human movements. Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment.
Instead of walking up this high path, she continued walking along an undeveloped detour below.
It felt a bit like she was blazing a new trail through brambles.
Walking on an undeveloped path was a safer method.
The path she was walking on was very remote, so according to logic, there wouldn’t be anyone trudging down there.
But just in case.
Who knew if someone else would share the same idea as her.
Hence, such high paths had an ambush quality to them generally. Even if she had a lot of confidence in herself, she wasn’t willing to take such a risk.
Rustle~
Along the way, she chopped off branches and leaves that obstructed her path with her dagger, which were making it difficult for her to advance.
However, this action of hers made the audience particularly anxious.
“What is Qingjiu doing? Why did she choose to walk on such a path?”
The baffled Huo Yingcheng cast a glance at Helian Niancheng.
After all, this person was Gu Qingjiu’s husband, the one most likely to understand Gu Qingjiu’s thoughts.
Who knew, Helian Niancheng simply glanced at him and with a smirk that carried a hint of contempt, replied, “How am I to know?”
Huo Yingcheng was speechless.
Damn it. Wasn’t it said that a married couple is of the same mind?
Aren’t you the one who understands your wife best?!
How could you say such a thing!
Huo Yingcheng ranted like a maniac in his heart. Watching the situation on the screens, he gently cast a glance at one of the boxes and his countenance slightly changed. “Cruff is approaching Yin Ruoyi.”
Following his line of sight, one could see that Gu Qingjiu and Cruff were both getting increasingly near to Yin Ruoyi.
And Yin Ruoyi was right ahead of that tall mountain body Gu Qingjiu saw earlier. He was leaning against a tree trunk as he sat next to the river.
Since Gu Qingjiu didn’t choose a regular path and instead, for some baffling reason, chose to take a detour, her path started deviating away from Yin Ruoyi.
On the other hand, Cruff directly took that path, and if no accidents were to occur, once he stepped on the highest spot on the rock wall, he would see the other party underneath the mountain.
Putting it simply, Gu Qingjiu could get closer to Yin Ruoyi by continuing on the path she was walking on, but Cruff could stand at a high spot and attack Yin Ruoyi.
Based on Yin Ruoyi’s current condition, it was unknown if he would be able to escape.
