"Difficulties canât be that many! This little problem definitely wonât stump me! After all, if I didnât have some real skills, I wouldnât be able to control the whole family!"
At the instant the small boat shot forward like lightning, Cao Meng muttered to himself, regaining his composure and calm.
In his eyes, the area covered by this white fog was limited, so as long as they rushed madly in one direction at high speed, theyâd be able to get out of here soon.
"Lin Ya, I admit I underestimated you before, and I underestimated this white fog too, but from now on, I wonât! Iâll be more cautious in the future, so you have no chance of escaping from the palm of my hand."
After saying that, Cao Meng shook the oar in his hand and started rowing hard again...
The two people behind him also went all out, paddling like crazy.
Just like that, the boat charged forward at high speed and, in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the denser white mist.
...
"You really think this trick will work?"
"I donât know either, but we really donât have any other good ideas right now, so we can only treat a dead horse like a living one!"
"True!"
After muttering a few words to each other, they calmed down and continued frantically paddling with the oars in their hands, making the little boat a bit faster...
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Time ticked by bit by bit...
At first, they were going all out, but gradually, they ran out of strength, because the scenery around them hadnât changed in the slightest.
White!
White!
Nothing but white!
"Why did you stop rowing?"
Feeling the speed drop, Cao Meng turned his head and roared viciously!
"Family Head, does it still mean anything to keep rowing now?"
"Yeah, we just rowed at least a few kilometers by now, and what happened? Weâre still here, havenât moved at all."
They didnât know exactly how far theyâd gone, but they could roughly estimate.
They believed it was really, really far...
So in theory, they should have gotten out already, but in reality, they were still surrounded, and it even felt like the encirclement had gotten tighter.
Hearing their low, questioning tone, Cao Mengâs eyelids twitched hard!
He knew theyâd lost heart. He wanted to pump them up with some chicken soup, but he couldnât open his mouth, because honestly, he, just like them, was starting to lose heart.
Honestly, he regretted it especially badly at this moment...
He knew that if he hadnât been so willful before, things wouldnât have turned into such a passive situation.
"Right, we can make a call, ask for help!"
Thinking that he could call for help now, he quickly took out his phone.
The next second, he was dumbfounded, because there was no signal at all.
"Family Head, stop thinking about meaningless things. We already tried calling before, but thereâs zero signal!"
"Yeah!"
They really had taken out their phones before, but there was no reception whatsoever.
"Then what should we do now?"
Hurling his phone aside, Cao Meng growled, his face as dark as water.
He really was a bit desperate now...
Because nothing worked!
"Youâre asking us? How would we know!"
"Exactly! Weâve been following your lead!"
They looked at Cao Meng and snapped back at him.
They were all fed up with this self-important Cao Meng.
So now, there was no politeness left in them.
Cao Meng wanted to curse them out fiercely, but he gave up, because he knew they really were dissatisfied with him now; if he started a fight with them, it would just be trouble.
He gave them a silent look, then once again surveyed the surroundings...
...
"Well? How do you all feel?"
Xiaobei asked with a light chuckle...
Just now, this little boat that Hu Xiaobei had repaired had sailed into the vast white fog.
The moment they entered, the condensed, lingering mist around them began to dissipate bit by bit...
This dispersal made Xiaobei and the othersâ eyes light up.
"Feels way better than before!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
They spoke, extremely excited...
They were telling the truth. This newly refurbished boat had made great progress in dispersing the white mist.
"Thatâs normal, it..."
Before she finished, Xiaobei suddenly looked into the distance...
"Xiaobei, little brother, whatâs wrong?"
Lin Ya glanced at Xiaobei and asked curiously.
Xiaobei withdrew her gaze and said softly, with a hint of mystery, "Hereâs the thingâare you expecting any guests?"
"Guests? No, there arenât any guests coming lately!"
Although she didnât know why Xiaobei was asking this, Lin Ya still answered honestly!
As an assassin organization, she and everyone here had very few friends, so naturally, there werenât really any "guests."
Hearing Lin Yaâs answer, Xiaobei looked off into the distance again and chuckled, "If thatâs the case, then this just got interesting."
"Xiaobei, little brother, what on earth do you mean? The more you talk, the more confused I get!"
As Lin Ya asked, the others all looked at Xiaobei curiously as well, because none of them knew what medicine Xiaobei was selling in her gourd.
Seeing how lost they all looked, Xiaobei smiled lightly. "I saw a small boat inside the Array in the distance. There are three people on that boat. Itâs too far, so I canât see their faces clearly, but theyâre three men."
"Someone actually made it here? Xiaobei, little brother, what should we do?"
"No need to worry. Theyâre already firmly trapped. If we donât go help them out, theyâll never get out."
"Really? The Array is that powerful?"
"Originally, this Natural Formation wasnât that strong, but somehow they managed to reach the deepest part of it! Let me put it this way: where they are right now is basically the most dangerous spot."
"So in other words, theyâre really unlucky!"
"Yep. Want to go take a look at them? Maybe you know them."
"I kind of feel like we might. Otherwise they wouldnât have ended up trapped here."
"Then letâs go take a look!"
With a faint smile, Hu Xiaobei steered the boat to change direction, heading toward the place where the three of them were trapped...
...
"Do you guys feel anything?"
On the boat, Cao Meng, who had been sitting there in dejection, suddenly stood up.
"Feel what?"
"Yeah, what?"
They frowned...
They didnât feel anything elseâonly that Cao Meng seemed kind of insane.
For real!
Any normal person wouldnât be jumping at shadows like this...
Seeing them frown, Cao Meng pointed into the distance and said excitedly, "I feel someone approaching! I can clearly feel someone getting closer! So I think weâre about to be rescued."
