Chapter 212: Rescue

There were no ready-made paths in the mountains, so the three could only cut through the underbrush, advancing rapidly along the rugged valley.

After moving forward for over half an hour, the sky had already darkened somewhat. Zhong Fei pointed to a tall and lengthy hillside ahead and said, "Brother Ye, once we climb that mountain, we'll be able to see the Ma Family's stronghold."

Mustered their energy, the three continued forward, but their steps slowed somewhat.

Cautiously climbing that hillside, upon reaching the summit, Zhong Fei led Ye Wutian to a relatively concealed, yet good vantage point on a small hillock.

Looking down into the valley as Zhong Fei had indicated, they could see a dozen or so wooden houses scattered messily across a relatively open and flat area. Surrounding this cluster of wooden houses, several people were on guard, presenting a stance of stringent vigilance.
