Under such circumstances, if everyone were to leave together, they would undoubtedly be attacked. Based on the Black-Blooded Fox Bear's thirst for blood, Connor and Dezerby, who were both official Magi, would become the focus of the Black-Blooded Fox Bear's attacks!
Due to their different identities and positions, as well as the fact that they were using each other, Connor was certain that he would become the one sacrificed for Dezerby. The Adjudicators of the Church of the Storm would definitely do their best to protect Dezerby and give up on him. At that point, with the Black-Blooded Fox Bear's powerful intelligence, it would definitely pick on Connor, the weakling, before considering eating Dezerby.
If things really developed to such a stage, with Connor's personality, he would definitely not sacrifice himself to save Dezerby and his subordinates. He would definitely escape at the first opportunity. If Connor did so, he would naturally be able to survive, but the Ferguson Family would definitely be implicated by Connor and suffer the wrath of the Church of the Storm.
Therefore, in order to prevent himself from being forced to "sacrifice himself for others" and at the same time protect the Ferguson family, Connor came up with the excuse of splitting up and breaking out of the encirclement. With this excuse, even if the Church of the Lord of Storms were to investigate the matter, Connor wouldn't be blamed for it!
In addition, as long as they split up to break out of the encirclement, Connor, who was an official Magus and had the support of the black magic robe, would definitely be the fastest to escape. In this way, Dezerby and his subordinates from the Church of the Storm would become Connor's "meat shield" and bear a lot of risks for Connor!
As the saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes." Just when Connor was feeling complacent about killing two birds with one stone by splitting up and breaking out of the encirclement, a situation that Connor had foreseen and was very unexpected occurred!
Connor, who had just flown a kilometer away, sensed a very familiar aura with his Mental Energy. Realizing the other party's identity and intentions, he was immediately shocked. His expression could not help but change, and a murderous intent subconsciously emerged in his heart.
A few seconds later, Connor clenched his teeth and made up his mind. He did not pretend that he did not notice the other party. Instead, he turned around to face the other party. Since the other party had already come here, it meant that the other party was determined to drag him down!
Although it seemed risky to meet him now, he might be able to control the situation to a level that he could handle. On the other hand, if he allowed the other party to do as he pleased, then this guy would do anything in order to survive. If it really came to that, it would be worse!
A minute later, Connor appeared behind a large poplar tree that was as thick as three people. Not far from him, a figure wearing a blue cloak was silently rushing towards him.
Using his spiritual force, Connor secretly observed the other party's vigilance. Knowing that he would not be able to gain any advantage even if he were to ambush him, Connor sighed in his heart and gave up on the idea of silencing him.
With the threat of the Blackblood Fox Bear behind him and the greyish-white smoke that he had released, Connor did not have the time nor the mood to waste his breath on this guy. Seeing that the other party was on high alert, and that he had no chance to make a move even though he was hiding in the shadows, Connor took the initiative to stand out and asked coldly, "Firo! What are you doing here? "
Hearing Connor's cold voice, the figure wearing a blue cloak, who was also Firo, immediately noticed Connor's position. He first gave Connor a deep look, then sighed faintly. He then answered Connor's question, "Connor Ferguson, you're a smart man. You know that I wouldn't come here unless I had no other choice!"
Since Connor decided to come out and meet Firo, he naturally expected Firo to react this way. He sneered and said, "Firo, I'm not going to let you go. From the looks of it, you're living quite comfortably in the Navas Forest … "
Firo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't make fun of me. I've become a stray dog now. I can only struggle at death's door in this lush Navas Forest."
Connor was slightly surprised by the meaning behind Firo's words. He couldn't help but ask, "If you want to leave, I have a way …"
Before Connor could finish his words, Firo waved his hand and said, "Connor Ferguson, you might have misunderstood me. I don't want to leave this place now!"
"To other Magi, the Navas Forest might be a dangerous place filled with magical beasts, but to the current me, it's a pretty good safe haven. Magical beasts may be terrifying, but in comparison, the Church of the Lord of Storms is the one who eats people whole without spitting out the bones!" Firo, who used to be Blake's informant, couldn't help but smile bitterly at the end of his sentence.
Connor was a little surprised that Firo wanted to stay in the Navas Forest, but it seemed reasonable after thinking about it carefully. The Navas Forest brought danger to Firo, but it also restricted the Church of the Storm's movements.
In the dangerous Navas Forest, no matter how powerful the Church of the Storm was, they couldn't ignore the casualties and organize an effective search in the forest just to chase Firo. Once Firo left this place, he would be exposed to the Church of the Storm's search. His ending was self-evident!
Although he could understand Firo's decision, Connor had a new question in front of him. Since Firo didn't intend to leave, why did he come looking for him now?
Although Connor appeared calm and collected, making it impossible for others to guess what he was thinking from his facial expressions, Firo still saw through Connor's doubts at a glance. He took the initiative to explain the purpose of his visit to Connor. He cleared his throat and said, "Connor, although I don't intend to leave the Navas Forest, I did come looking for you this time to ask for your help!"
"In the Navas Forest, the Church of the Storm can't do anything to me, but that bastard Milik is a complete lunatic. He has been chasing after me with all his might these days. No matter where I hide, he can catch up with me!" When he said this, a deep sense of fear and helplessness appeared in Firo's eyes.
