When Wei Lan asked her to go in with him, Hathaway seemed a little hesitant.

Winnie immediately snorted in dissatisfaction and turned her head away.

"If you don't want to go, forget it. I'll go then."

After saying that, she stared at Wei Lan with watery eyes.

Wei Lan immediately closed his eyes, turned his head, and then opened it again, pretending not to see it.

"I'll go." Who knew that Hathaway would immediately agree the next second.

"Let's go." Wei Lan didn't hesitate, but quietly pulled Winnie to the other side before leaving.

Whisper to her,

"If I don't come out in the second hour, you can go find Louis and come in to find me. Don't ask too much. I'll tell you later."

He always had a hunch that things wouldn't go so smoothly given his physical condition.

Winnie didn't even have time to think before she nodded. She was just jealous of the princess and wondered why she took her there.

Now she always felt that the princess seemed to have something important to do.

Lin Quan was looking in their direction, and saw Wei Lan was talking to Winnie seriously, but he just had a blank expression on his face and said nothing.

Wei Lan really didn't have time to observe their expressions. After telling Winnie, he called for Al and Hathaway to follow.

The kings of various countries who did not participate also went to the other side to watch the bull baiting game. They would only come over when the specified time was over.

[Bait game: In the Middle Ages, people were particularly fond of fresh beef. This game involved using a group of mad dogs to tear apart a live cow to ensure the freshness of the beef.]

So now there is no one here, only the guards at the entrance to the forest are left.

Wei Lan walked in front with a crossbow and arrows. The guard saluted him respectfully, looked around him and asked,

"Your Highness, do you need us to dispatch a guard and horse for you?"

"No need." Wei Lan said.

"I only went to the edge of the West End to try my luck."

The western area is close to the forest border and generally only has pheasants, foxes, muntjacs, hares, etc. Animals like bears, cheetahs, and wolves can be found in the deep eastern area.

"Okay." The guard saw that it was Crown Prince Ryan behind him, so he didn't force it. Someone immediately brought up two whistling arrows:

"Then please take this, Your Highness the Princess and the Crown Prince."

Then he handed it to Al and the others, and it was caught by the tall and thin male servant.

Wei Lan took it and took a look at it, only to find that it was something similar to a flare.

The few people then went in. Wei Lan thought for a moment and handed the whistle to Hathaway.

"If anything happens, pull here."

Anyway, he has explained everything he should, and the rest depends on their teachings. He has to think about how to get rid of Al and the others later.

"Yes." Hathaway took the whistle and took a special look into the depths of the forest before entering.

Winnie outside watched them go in, then turned around and prepared to go back to check the clock.

"What did His Highness just say to you?" Lin withdrew his gaze from the distance and called Winnie when she was about to take a step.

Winnie stopped as soon as he turned around, and rubbed the fingers of his two hands together for a few times. The fact that the princess pulled him over just now proved that she didn't want others to know about this.

From behind, there was the sound of shoes rubbing against the dirt and sand. Despite the silence all around, the sound was particularly loud, making people feel inexplicably nervous.

Winnie quickly walked forward and ignored him, thinking that although Lord Lin was scary, he wouldn't strangle her and interrogate her.

----

When Wei Lan and his companions entered the forest boundary, they stopped and said to Al,

"Then Your Highness Ryan, let's separate here first."

"What...what?" Al was obviously surprised, his lips trembling.

"Aren't we... together?"

"Your Highness," the pockmarked servant said.

"Let's go check out the forest on the north side. There are small animals all over the west side."

Wei Lan was inexplicably unhappy with this sentence, as if he could only hunt small animals.

But it was true that he had read some hunting techniques before coming here, but they were neither easy to understand nor attractive.

"Then we'll meet here in two hours. Good luck." Wei Lan smiled and turned away without waiting for his reply.

"..." Al half raised his hand and wanted to say something, but finally remembered what Wei Lan said to him before he came, and withdrew his hand.

Even though this forest is on the edge of the city, it should not be underestimated. For someone like Wei Lan who has lived too comfortably in modern life (in terms of personal safety), his experience in surviving in the wild is almost zero.

Wei Lan looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly today, but it was blocked by the branches and leaves of the forest. The sunlight could only jump in through the gaps between the leaves, making it appear cold and gloomy below.

Moreover, every tree here is almost towering, and the roots are so thick that three people cannot hug them.

He was really glad that it was the heroine instead of him who would be in danger, otherwise he would definitely not be able to survive in this environment and would be sucked to death by the mosquitoes in the forest.

He walked in front, thinking about the description in the original book, and Hathaway followed behind him, looking to the side from time to time.

Wei Lan also looked around and found that there was a main road in each direction that was specially cleared for hunters.

He was thinking about how he would make the heroine escape to the east. In the original book, when the heroine was halfway there and the two were only a few meters apart, the princess suddenly turned sideways and shot an arrow at him.

But he didn't want to be exposed like this. After all, after all the things he did before, he was still a good person with a little bit of mental illness, right?

But as the time he was counting in his mind was almost up, a reminder sound came from the system.

[System: Warning, the first climax of the article is coming soon, please execute as soon as possible. ]

Well, Wei Lan deliberately quickened his pace, and the second after he turned around and raised the crossbow, he heard the sound of rustling leaves in his ears.

At the same time, he raised the crossbow and pointed it in the direction of Hathaway, and released his thumb that was holding the arrow in an extremely offset position.

"Your Highness!" Hathaway suddenly rushed towards him. The next second, a shadow pressed down from behind Wei Lan, and Wei Lan had no time to react.

Hathaway grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away. She groaned and the arrow scratched the side of her arm. They both fell to the ground.

Wei Lan didn't even react. When he looked back, he saw two men dressed as mercenaries in black clothes with their faces covered, standing on a huge tree branch a few meters away.

What the hell!

Wei Lan quickly got up and pulled Hathaway up, but Hathaway was in so much pain that it was difficult for her to get up. It took him several seconds to drag her up.

I started running in the direction they came from, feeling a little anxious. They looked like mercenaries? Could they be the same group of mercenaries from last time?

If they wanted to seek revenge, they would go to the Crown Prince. Why would they go to him? He didn't want to do it.

The two mercenaries behind them were getting closer and closer to them. According to their strength, it was definitely more than enough to kill them both, but they deliberately slowed down.

Wei Lan thought, since they are going to die anyway, why not have some fun first and then die?

"Your Highness..." Hathaway frowned, her fair face wrinkled, sweat oozed from the tip of her nose, and one hand covered her arm, which seemed to be in great pain. She was gasping for breath when she spoke:

"Let's run separately. Your Highness, go towards the entrance..."
