Chapter 1680: Critical Moment (2)
Soon, Seven walked past the bush which Feng Wu was hiding behind.
Seven paused when he walked past it.
Feng Wu held her knees and curled into a ball. She tried her best to slow down her breathing and her heartbeat.
As expected —
Seven didn’t suspect much. He kept his gaze on the horse and ran after it.
“Phew —”
Feng Wu let out a breath of relief.
Without hesitation, Feng Wu jumped to her feet and headed for the woods.
The horse had lured the enemy away, but she couldn’t abandon it.
“What’s your plan?” Little Phoenix asked anxiously.
It wasn’t as calm as Feng Wu was.
Feng Wu said affirmatively, “I have to save the horse.”
Little Phoenix stared at Feng Wu and was confused. “Are you nuts?! The horse finally lured the enemy away; why are you trying to get yourself killed?!”
Feng Wu said calmly, “Do you think the horse can outrun that man?”
Little Phoenix shook its head.
Feng Wu said, “When Seven catches up with the horse and finds out that he’s been fooled, do you think he won’t take it out on the horse?”
Little Phoenix wanted to shake its head, but couldn’t.
Feng Wu said, “The horse was ready to die for me! It realized this possibility, but it still agreed to my plan; do you know why?”
Little Phoenix asked, “Why?”
Feng Wu had never looked so serious. “Because I told it that if it didn’t stick to my plan, we would die together. But if it lured the enemy away, we could stall for a moment, and I promised that I would go back to save it!”
Little Phoenix said, “But you…”
Feng Wu waved her hands. “Are you trying to say that I can’t even protect myself? Well, I admit that I’m not his match right now, and I can’t even fend off one of his strikes. But someone else can handle him.”
Little Phoenix asked, “But where is that person?”
Feng Wu remained calm and serious. She kept walking deeper into the mountains as she spoke with Little Phoenix.
“Can you sense a Spiritual Lord in these mountains?” Feng Wu climbed onto a slope to look in the distance. She then narrowed her eyes.
“You want to mess with a Spiritual Lord creature?!” Little Phoenix almost jumped to its feet. “Are you nuts?!”
Feng Wu asked solemnly, “Just tell me, can you find one or not?”
Little Phoenix said, “When I snuck into the mountains to play when you weren’t looking, I indeed saw a Spiritual Lord creature. It was a chimpanzee, but…”
It then frowned and said, “But that chimpanzee isn’t friendly at all. I offended it, so I don’t think it will help us…”
Feng Wu asked, “What did you do?”
Little Phoenix hesitated before it said, “The chimpanzee just had a baby, and it wanted to feed its child some honey, but I grabbed the honey and ran. Had it not been for its baby, it would have chased me all over the mountain.”
Little Phoenix smiled wryly. “We have a feud now. It’ll want to skin me alive. I can’t go looking for it…”
Feng Wu asked, “Which direction?”
Little Phoenix asked, “What?”
Feng Wu asked, “That chimpanzee’s cave, where is it?”
Little Phoenix was shocked. “Please don’t tell me you’re going to find it! Don’t we have enough enemies already?!”
Feng Wu smiled. “So what? An enemy can be turned into a friend.”
