Chapter 1268: Showing Off Isn’t Very Good
Suddenly, Gu Fan noticed the critical detail and shouted loudly, "Quickly leap towards the surrounding trees! The fact that the trees are still standing without being swallowed by the quagmire means that’s the safe zone."
Hearing this, Ouyang Jin and Lu Yi instantly understood what Gu Fan meant. They had just seen the roots left behind after trees were cut down, so they leaped over together. When they landed, the solid feeling under their feet was just too reassuring.
Everyone followed Gu Fan’s suggestion and leaped towards the nearby trees, trying to jump with all their might to get as close as possible to the roots’ position.
Indeed, just as Gu Fan had anticipated, the area around the trees was safe, and no one else sank into the quagmire.
"Alright, listen to me, from one tree to another, stay as close to the roots as possible. We’ll get out of here step by step," Gu Fan said before taking the lead. He jumped to the side of a tree and pressed his foot down to test it, and indeed, there were no issues at all.
Under Gu Fan’s leadership, everyone did as he did, advancing slowly by taking small steps and then large leaps.
Adopting Gu Fan’s method, not a single person fell into the quagmire again, and admiration for Gu Fan surged within them once more. Many thought to themselves that they were definitely going to follow this young man.
"Kid, to find a way in such a short time, you’re really something." General Horton couldn’t help feeling jealous while admiring him, as he could tell from the expressions of the people around that his leadership position was being shaken.
However, the method of jumping from one tree to another was effective, but the question was, when could they be sure they had completely crossed the quagmire?
