Just as Tiger Vanguard was about to tear through everything in his path, he reached the forty-fifth step. Unbroken Feast immediately let out a collective sigh.
"The brat's reached the end."
"What a shame..."
"What happened?" Mi Mian hurriedly asked when she saw everyone looking disappointed. "Is this grid dangerous?"
Tiger Vanguard suddenly appeared inside a prison carriage, surrounded by more than thirty cavalrymen. He did not immediately make his move, instead remaining in the carriage and waiting for an opportunity as he watched it enter a fortress.
"There's no helping it." The old man shook his head. "This is the only chance to escape. He has to force his way out of the carriage, fight the guards, and escape... Once he enters the fortress, it'll be too late."
With a resonant roar, the Taotie statue perched on the corner of the fortress palace exploded into countless fragments of stone. It transformed into a gigantic vicious beast and descended from the sky in a furious, savage rage, swatting at the prison carriage!
The cavalry regiment scattered across the ground like broken dolls. Tiger Vanguard landed safely, but compared with the mountain-like Taotie, the tiny Tiger Vanguard looked like a speck of nose gunk that could be flicked away with ease.
"Fourth Rank Demon Taotie. Who knows how many powerful teams have fallen here? Only later did everyone discover that escaping before entering the fortress allowed them to avoid fighting Taotie." The old man sighed. "You know that brat up there, right? What a shame. If he hadn't encountered Taotie, with his strength, he might have been able to clear the Ascension Road."
However, when the old man turned his head, he saw that the children's faces were not worried at all. Instead, every one of them wore an expectant look.
