Fortunately, I had studied the Way of the Coward beforehand and knew how to survive better.

Su Chen first summoned three warhorses, and then three Death Warriors. He sat in front of one of the Death Warriors, as riding a horse was simply not feasible for him given his current physical condition.

The most urgent task is to leave this place as soon as possible.

By the next morning, you might be able to Sign-In something even more useful.

They traveled all night, using the moonlight to make their way. Because it was so dark, their pace wasn't slow, but it got much easier once they left their original spot.

About an hour or two later, a Town appeared ahead. Su Chen intended to enter the Town, but as soon as he arrived at the Town gate, he saw his bounty posters posted on both sides, with a reward of ten thousand taels of gold.

Damn it!

Su Chen's face was gloomy.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and then said indifferently.

"The three of you sneak in, kill any family you find, and bring me back some food."

This time.

It was Life and Death.

He certainly couldn't possibly have any womanly compassion.

What about innocent people?

Kill!

The three Death Warriors accepted the order, picked up their knives, and entered the Town. Killing was a simple matter for them, and they quickly returned with some simple food.

The dish was still warm, with a few scattered bits of minced meat and some steamed buns; it seemed this family was poor.

But Su Chen couldn't care less about anything else now. Everything here was fake, and even if it were real, he wouldn't feel the slightest pity.

Now, Su Chen is the true butcher who walks the path of death.

Without a word, Su Chen took the bowl and began to eat, stuffing a bite of vegetables and a bite of steamed bun into his mouth. One of the Death Warriors, quite perceptively, handed Su Chen the water bottle he was carrying.

Su Chen quickly drank several mouthfuls, and his previously weak body regained some strength.

He took a deep breath, then pointed at one of the Death Warriors and said.

"You, go in and kill two more families to attract the attention of the Town's officials, then escape in that direction."

Su Chen pointed into the distance and spoke. The Death Warriors's eyes were filled with determination, and he immediately knelt on one knee.

"Yes, sir!"

Clearly, he knew what he was about to face, but he didn't regret it.

Su Chen summoned another Death Warriors and then led himself in the opposite direction. Ye Tianran would definitely notice what was happening here, and he needed to find a suitable and safe place as soon as possible.

For him now, development is absolutely crucial.

He kept running, and fortunately, his warhorse was quite fine and could keep going. Just as the Sun was about to rise in the morning, Su Chen stopped and went to the Small Stream to wash his face.

Then he spoke to one of the Death Warriors.

"Go and gather information as quickly as possible. I need to know where we are here and everything about the surrounding area."

After receiving the order, the Death Warriors immediately ran off into the distance. The warhorse was clearly not for civilian use; once it was ridden out, it would inevitably be noticed. The people of this world have exceptional intuition and insight.

Su Chen then opened the system to Sign-In.

[Sign-In successful. Congratulations, Host, you have reached level 100 Death Warriors.]

[Sign-In successful. Congratulations, Host, you have received 300 jin of beef.]

Beef?

Su Chen took a deep breath and quickly ordered two Death Warriors to start a fire. His health was too poor, and he needed meat to replenish his strength.

Soon, flames rose, and Su Chen had a good harvest of grilled meat. Although there were no seasonings, he found it incredibly delicious.

The two Death Warriors also enjoyed a hearty meal.

About half an hour later, the Death Warriors returned and knelt on one knee before Su Chen.

"Reporting to the master, this place is within the territory of the Great Yu Dynasty. The Great Yu Dynasty is currently the most powerful empire ruling the world. The Southern Barbarians, Western Buddha, and Northern Prefecture are all territories of the Great Yu Dynasty."

"We are located in the heart of the Great Yu Dynasty in the Eastern Continent. About three hundred li to the south is the Capital of the Great Yu Dynasty."

Upon hearing these words, Su Chen's eyes darkened completely.

These messages practically told him that running away was absolutely useless.

With Ye Tianran's methods, he would quickly surround the area, and if he continued to flee, he would definitely be arrested on the spot.

Is there anything else?

Faced with Su Chen's question, the Death Warriors's expression became extremely solemn. "When I arrived, the master's portrait had already been posted there, and there were patrols everywhere on the streets. I even saw quite a few people around."

Are we surrounded?

Su Chen's expression immediately turned serious. With his current abilities, once his whereabouts were discovered, he would basically face certain death.

In this worldview, finding someone isn't difficult, especially if that person knows what you look like.

Su Chen took a deep breath.

This round!

It's too difficult to break now.

Currently, he only has about two hundred people at his disposal. In the previous game, Ye Tianran might have been careless, but after suffering a loss, he would definitely kill him without hesitation.

"Darkness under the lamp" seems like a good option, although it carries significant risks. The question is, how exactly can one achieve this?

There are soldiers and officers in almost every town and village now, so if I show up, someone will notice me very quickly.

Damn.

That's a lack of martial ethics!

Su Chen was in a real predicament; this time, he was truly in trouble.

It was a troublesome matter that caused him immense distress.

The main problem is that the system is unreliable this time; the rewards for Sign-In aren't very powerful. If he Sign-In ten thousand soldiers a day, he could protect himself after hiding for two days. But right now, he only has so few people; how can he fight against the Great Yu Dynasty?

Destiny is inevitable!

Su Chen asked with a serious expression, "Are there many people patrolling?"

The Death Warriors immediately replied, "Not many. I only saw six or seven on my way Past."

Six or seven?

That still has potential.

Su Chen handed Past a piece of beef. "Eat first, no rush."

Even if the Great Yu Dynasty was powerful, it was impossible for it to have a large population in every region.

Since we can't get out for the time being, let's figure out how to survive longer without being discovered.

But now there's another troublesome problem.

Once summoned, Su Chen could not take it back.
