The periphery of the Stone Forest area, after a bit of travel, would lead to the Death Swamp area.
When Jiang Xiaobai and his group arrived, they were dumbfounded because many teams and people were standing in place with no intention of moving forward.
“What’s going on?” Xia Yuwei squinted. She had already spotted her older brother, the Third Prince Xiao Wuwei, at the forefront.
She was very familiar with this brother, who was always competitive and strived to be first in everything.
After all these years, Xiao Yuwei had managed to carve out her own position, but she still lagged far behind Xiao Wuwei.
Therefore, seeing the ordinarily competitive Xiao Wuwei not making a move signaled a big problem.
Not just Xiao Wuwei, Xiao Ruyu was also standing at the forefront of the Stone Forest, her facial expressions obscured by a veil, but everyone could feel her tension.
“What on earth is happening?” Xiao Yuwei squinted even more and went forward to check.
To her shock, she felt like jumping up, wrestling Jiang Xiaobai to the ground and strangling him.
The pack of mad dogs that had been chasing them earlier had somehow blocked their path ahead!
If they hadn’t been certain of their direction, they would have turned back.
“What the hell should we do? Why are the mad dogs in front of us?”
“I have no idea, what a nightmare! How did the mad dogs become so smart, enough to block our path?”
“Damn it, if I find that Hong Shixian, I’ll skin him alive. I saved for several years to get a ticket to the Mad Demon Secret Land, and now this happened? What a joke!”
People nearby were venting their fury, itching to capture Hong Shixian and give him a thorough beating.
Even those from the larger sects were completely fed up with Hong Shixian.
“Linger, are you sure that Hong Shixian is responsible?” asked Gong Shuier as she approached Zhuang Huanling.
“It’s really him, there can’t be a mistake.”
Zhuang Huanling replied coldly, “That bastard must have infiltrated the lair of the mad dogs. I guess he happened to encounter us while trying to save his younger brother.”
“But he did save you, Zhuang Huanling. If it weren’t for Hong Shixian, you wouldn’t be alive. He’s your lifesaver, how could you reveal his whereabouts?” Gong Shuier said in her soft voice.
Zhuang Huanling was fuming when she heard this.
She was already at odds with Jiang Xiaobai, with their relationship as contentious as fire and water.
Being saved by an enemy was already a great humiliation, and she would, of course, never disclose this to the world.
“I’ve already said that I didn’t leak this news, do you think I’m crazy?” Zhuang Huanling said irritably, “It certainly must have been someone else. It’s my fault too, I shouldn’t have speculated.”
“Oh well, now what are we going to do?” Gong Shuier sighed.
Facing the mad dog pack of at least two to three thousand up ahead, everyone was filled with desperation.
There must be another pack of mad dogs blocking the rear of the Stone Forest, which led them into a dead-end.
“We can only fight with all we’ve got. If someone could step up and unite everyone, we might stand a chance of breaking through.”
Zhuang Huanling squinted, “If everyone focuses their attacks on one point, the mad dogs won’t be able to hold up. But, who knows how many people will be lost in the process.”
“Ah, our luck is really bad this time…”
As Zhuang Huanling was reflecting on the events that had happened, she didn’t know what to say. Apart from saying that their luck was bad, she couldn’t think of anything else to describe it.
At this moment, everyone was waiting for someone to step up, someone powerful and influential enough to convince everyone.
Meanwhile, at the back of the crowd, Jiang Xiaobai was deep in thought, trying to figure out the real problem.
How could the mad dogs appear in front?
“Has your Thousand Yuan Dynasty ever thoroughly explored this forest area?” Jiang Xiaobai abruptly asked.
“No,” Xiao Yuwei replied coldly, “Once we knew that this place was safe and free from danger, we saw no need to explore any further!”
“But have you ever wondered, how could the mad dogs show up in front?”
Jiang Xiaobai persisted, “There must be other paths leading through, this underground world is enormous, and we have only explored a small part of the Stone Forest.”
“But the problem is, there’s only one path ahead. Can’t you see that it’s a bottleneck?” Xiao Yuwei glared at Jiang Xiaobai.
As soon as she realized that their path had been blocked by the mad dogs, she had already been itching to murder Jiang Xiaobai.
Now, her mood had worsened to its worst point, and she had no interest in communicating with him.
“There must be other ways out. This area is vast, and if we spend some time, we should be able to find a way.” Jiang Xiaobai squinted, “The question is, are you willing to pay the price in time?”
By now, the people who had made it this far were certainly not fools and You must’ve also thought of scouting other paths. After all, the space beneath Mad Demon Valley was a vast underground world.
However, they didn’t want to waste time. The sooner they reached Mad Demon Land, the better. Since they had entered Mad Demon Valley, everyone had been taking the most direct route. Why?
Wasn’t it to avoid wasting time?
Moreover, the path they were on had been previously explored and was familiar, greatly reducing the risks. Other areas had not been explored, and venturing down uncharted paths could lead to greater risks.
Hence, everyone preferred to stay put, waiting for someone to emerge and lead a forceful charge forward, rather than venturing on their own seeking alternative paths.
This not only minimized the risks but also allowed them to advance or retreat with the masses.
After all, finding an alternative path on your own may provide an opportunity, but it would entail greater risks and potentially waste even more time. By the time you overcame numerous risks and finally arrived at Mad Demon Secret Land, others might have already been exploring it for a while.
Therefore, from Xiao Yuwei’s point of view, Jiang Xiaobai’s idea was simply a waste of time and a gamble with one’s life.
But Jiang Xiaobai was quite insistent about it.
Who knows who will step up to coordinate everyone for the joint attack, and how much it will cost?
He never liked sacrificing control of his own destiny to others.
With that in mind, Jiang Xiaobai squinted, “I’m going to look around. You guys wait here. Contact me through the communication token if anything happens.”
There was no need to worry about Jiang Xiaobai running away alone since AnRan would stay put, and Xiao Yuwei, absorbed in her thoughts, didn’t interfere.
As Jiang Xiaobai hit the road, he quickly turned back, a hint of excitement on his face.
“Damn, this is a godsend.”
“This should get us rich!”
