Chapter 18: Flee!

The night went by s while Cao Cao slept on his lap A few tiht, a few beasts would come close by Cao Cao would open his eyes and quietly look through the dark night, only to close them as soon as the beasts vanished into the dark forest

As the sun rose in the sky and rays of sunshine were beginning to shine through the leaves, Xu Min finally opened his eyes, and the golden specks around hiot about the small snake on his lap It fell to the floor of the nest, and Xu Min instantly bent down to pick hier than Xu Min Not only the snake, but also its parent was a being that he did not wish to insult Thus, as soon as the juvenile snake landed on the ground, Xu Min instantly picked hiized ht,&x2019; the snake said with a sneaky s as you cook ive you&x2019;

&x2018;You&x2019;ll grow fat,&x2019; Xu Min replied Internally, he wished that he was capable of capturing two beasts He suddenly stood up and noticed that so was not the way it was supposed to be

&x2018;Cao Cao,&x2019; he called out with his internal voice &x2018;Can you feel anyone close by? I feel as though so&x2019;

The snake raised its head As his tongue slithered in and out of his s

&x2018;There are quite a few humans around us,&x2019; he finally answered His face seemed apathetic about their presences However, Xu Min&x2019;s heart skipped a beat, and a cold sweat appeared on his back

&x2018;How many?&x2019; he asked silently He did not wish to hear the answer, but he knew that he needed to know He suddenly reht before at his old nest He could not help but curse hier close by

&x2018;They are still looking for us You can just escape through the treetops the sah he thought it was that easy Right now, Xu Min knew he had no choice other than to try and escape

&x2018;Let us play a ga out, &x2018;I know you want these a that, Xu Min felt like knocking the snake out Although the snake was strong, it was unlikely that it was strong enough to defeat thewith ht,&x2019; the snake said, as though he had read Xu Min&x2019;s thoughts &x2018;I forgot you are so weak How about I say that the more I kill, the more meat you have to cook for me!&x2019;

&x2018;Cao Cao, are you certain that you are capable of dealing with these hed, as he looked at the little snake who laid in his arms Had it been its father, he had no doubt that it would be able to defeat them However, he did not think that the little snake could handle these many mercenaries Unless absolutely necessary, Xu Min decided that he would not start a battle

Standing up, Xu Min rushed from one branch to another as he traveled across the treetops Fortunately, none of the mercenaries below had noticed him For some time, he rushed towards the outskirts of the forest, the only location where he could exit the forest

As Xu Min went further and further towards the outskirts of forest, the trees became more andit harder for hi on top of the trees until he had to travel on the ground

What shocked hiround was littered with people For once, these people paid no attention to each other Instead, they were in large groups, and seeroup at a time

He was quite curious as to the reason why these many mercenaries entered the forest and started to search like mad men Xu Min decided to keep to his plan A few e trees Onceleft the forest, Cao Cao was filled with astonishment as he perched on Xu Min&x2019;s shoulder He looked at everything that was happening around him and observed the barren land in front of them
