Chapter 532: Sudden Heat Wave (1)

“Let’s leave here first.” Zhuo Wangsun added, “Being harassed nonstop is a headache.”
Xu Huo could sense Kang Yongjie and the other man keeping a certain distance from them, but they did not go far. Those two clearly had no intention of finding their own path; most likely they were waiting to see what happened here.
“They seem to be carrying a lot of food and water,” he said after a moment.
Zhuo Wangsun glanced at him in surprise. “I don’t think it’s worth clashing with them head-on. Stone Forest is full of forks. We can lose them if we pick up the pace.”
