The other goblins, after hearing the shout from their comrade, immediately rushed in that direction. Naturally, they wouldn't choose to flee.
The reason was simple - any race with the potential to become supreme would never be weak.
If they were weak, they would never have the qualifications to enter this tower in the first place. This place was only for the strong!
"Hurry, pursue them! Don't let the enemy escape."
"Chase them with all your might, we must capture them!"
"Who is the enemy anyway?"
"Does it matter who they are? Just capture them already, isn't that enough?"
"Ah, ok."
.....
The noise of the pursuit was not insignificant, which made Lei Feng's group feel pressured.
"Is continuing like this really the right thing to do?" Azeroth asked.
Lei Feng was equally troubled. Although they were slightly stronger than the others, it wasn't enough to fully shake them off.
As for the weapons, they couldn't just throw them away. If the enemy ambushed them, they would surely die.
"Haiz, let's just go with the flow. As long as we try our best, that's all we can do. After all, the difference in numbers is too overwhelming."
"Let's keep running. They're burning through a lot of energy to chase us. It's hard for them to catch us unless we're ambushed," Long Wei said.
"Haha, this is actually pretty fun. I never thought I'd have a day where I'd be hunted down by goblins like this," Xue Lian said casually, laughing as she ran.
By now, the goblins had caught sight of their group. The leaders shouted:
"The targets are fleeing! Chase after them quickly!"
"They're strange creatures, possibly natives of this world. Don't underestimate them."
"Pursue them with all your strength. We must seek justice for the goblins!"
.....
One side was desperately chasing, while the other side was desperately running. Neither side gave way, yet the distance between them remained almost unchanged.
The reason, of course, was the weapons they couldn't discard. If they could, the distance between them would surely widen.
Suddenly, sounds came from both sides, causing them to feel slightly uneasy. They couldn't determine whether the noises were from humans, goblins, or some other creatures.
"Damn it, another group? Who knows if they're friend or foe." Long Wei cursed.
One group chasing them was already exhausting, but now there were two more. This was clearly going to push him to the brink.
Lei Feng didn't have the energy to listen to his complaints; he was busy thinking of ways to deal with the worst-case scenario.
Looking ahead and assessing the surroundings, he quickly guessed what lay in store for them. He said:
"Everyone, jump down the waterfall ahead, and on my signal, throw your weapons."
"What if it's just a small waterfall?" Azeroth asked.
If that were the case, they would have lost their weapons and gained very little time.
"Why worry so much? If it doesn't work out, we'll just fight to the death." Lei Feng replied.
"Haha, ever since we got here, we've been fighting for our lives. What's there to be afraid of now?" Xue Lian laughed.
To be honest, none of the four of them were really scared; they just didn't want to fight a pointless battle.
After running a few hundred more meters, they finally reached the edge of the waterfall. Looking down, it seemed to be about thirty meters high.
For an ordinary person, this height would have them trembling, especially since they had no experience jumping from such heights.
"Throw your weapons into the water behind us so they can drift down slowly. Oh, by the way, can you swim?" Lei Feng asked.
"Does it matter? Just jump! If we die, that's really unlucky." Xue Lian laughed, tossing her weapon away before leaping down.
Seeing her jump, the other three wasted no time. One by one, they threw their weapons and jumped.
They didn't jump all at once to avoid colliding mid-air, which would increase their chances of dying.
One by one, they landed safely in the water. Though none of them were great swimmers, they could manage.
Their surprising calmness helped them get through the situation with ease. One by one, they emerged from the water.
"Hahaha, we're still alive! This is great!" Xue Lian laughed and said.
She was the strongest and most experienced, so she was fine, but the others weren't as comfortable.
"Damn it, I almost drowned, and you're still laughing." Long Wei cursed.
The other two, due to personal reasons, didn't curse since it would ruin their image, but they weren't exactly thrilled either.
That jump had nearly cost them their lives. None of them had ever jumped more than five meters before, and now they had just leapt thirty meters, all while their stamina was drained. It was indeed a reckless gamble.
"We didn't die, did we? So why complain?" Xue Lian said, pouting.
By now, they were used to her attitude after a few hours together, so no one bothered to comment. A bit of hyperactivity wasn't a big deal, especially since she was strong.
Their weapons had all fallen down by now, thankfully without injuring any of them.
Since they were a good distance from the waterfall, there was no worry about the weapons landing on their heads.
"Quick, grab the weapons and let's move out." Lei Feng ordered.
The others nodded and followed suit. But as he was retrieving his weapon, Lei Feng noticed something behind the waterfall - a stone cave.
Looking more closely, he realized the terrain was perfect for an ambush. He immediately said:
"Do you dare to take a risk?"
Everyone looked at him, puzzled, but a few seconds later, they all nodded.
"Haha, with something this fun, why would we run?" Xue Lian laughed.
"If Your Majesty commands, I'll follow," Long Wei said.
"Wherever you go, I'll be right behind you." Azeroth added.
Seeing their enthusiasm, Lei Feng had no reason to hesitate. He immediately gave the order:
"Good. Then follow me into the cave for an ambush. Our goal is to kill anyone who dares to approach!"
"Yes, sir!" the three responded in unison.
The four of them slowly moved into the stone cave. It was indeed a great spot for an ambush. From the outside, it was difficult to see what was inside.
Lei Feng had chosen it for precisely that reason - he couldn't discern what lay within, which made it ideal.
"Whew, damn, this is exciting! I've never experienced anything this thrilling in my life." Long Wei said.
Xue Lian wholeheartedly agreed. She had never encountered something so interesting before.
"This is fun, but we should focus. If they dare to jump down, I'll skewer them." Xue Lian said with a grin.
Though she was laughing, if the goblins heard her, they would surely shiver. They weren't fools - they would know she wasn't joking.
"Do we still have the two star stones?" Lei Feng asked.
"Of course, they didn't fall." Azeroth replied.
"Good. Then get ready to face their attack. If they come near the cave, kill them all without mercy!" Lei Feng said coldly.
