"We're about to get out of here. Don't capsize the boat in the final stretch. If you stir up trouble at a time like this, I won't forgive you!" Scarface said sternly.
"Yes, yes. Chief, rest assured, I absolutely won't bring trouble on you. Absolutely not." Han Chen nodded and nodded in assurance.
Under Huo Yudie's peculiar gaze, Scarface finished lecturing his subordinate, then turned back with a fawning smile, forcing out an expression he imagined to be amiable, and greeted her, "Miss, so you're heading back?"
Huo Yudie nodded. Though the two men had spoken softly, she had still caught it, so her heart was now completely at ease. Amid her inward amusement, she was no longer especially nervous.
"Oh, oh. Shall I have someone escort you?" Scarface offered eagerly.
"No need," Huo Yudie said coldly. With that, she paid the crowd no further heed and hurried off with Wei Zhao on her back.
Beyond the oasis, the road ahead was nothing but the same endless desert. On the way in, she had found it unbearably dull and tedious, but for Huo Yudie now it could not have been better—because however dull it was, it beat crisis after crisis by far. Besides, there was precious little time left, and she could not afford the slightest delay.
Time flew by, and three days later Huo Yudie finally reached the teleportation array. By now several trial participants were already queued there, and those leaving at this juncture were naturally all Yuanying consummation experts.
When the crowd saw Huo Yudie and the barely-alive Wei Zhao on her back, beyond their astonishment they had no other particular reaction. After all, two West Island experts were here keeping order, and anyone who wanted to make trouble in this place would have to pay the price.
Moreover, Huo Yudie was herself a Yuanying consummation expert; if it truly came to a fight to the death, they might not gain any advantage, and even if they did, they would surely be gravely weakened and unable to recover for a long time—and then they could forget about ever getting out.
Huo Yudie, carrying Wei Zhao, quietly queued behind the others. After the people ahead departed one by one, Huo Yudie was just about to step into the teleportation array when a West Island expert stopped her.
"Only one person may enter. If you bring him along, you won't be able to pass through yourself," the West Island expert explained mildly.
"What?!" Huo Yudie was startled. Before the West Island trial began, she had vaguely heard Yan Xinlan mention something like this, but she had not taken it to heart at the time. Now, unexpectedly, it had become a fatal roadblock!
"This is decided by the teleportation array. No one can change it. Even if what you carry on your back is a dead man, it makes no difference. Only one person may pass at a time—though natural treasures and the like are not restricted." The West Island expert glanced at Huo Yudie with some sympathy. (To be continued)
