Chapter 24 (1/2)

Obviously, that boy definitely put on a pair of adult's shoes. If not, he would have worn a large pair of socks on top of his own shoes. No wonder he dared to run out of the city! So that's the reason! Ling Tian's disappointed heart began to grow excited again.

Ling Tian asked himself, ”If I were him, which direction would I run in?”

Directly ahead was the public road; since the organization pursuing the boy was obviously not small, he definitely would not take that road. With a weather like this, taking the public road was as good as surrendering.

To the right was the direction where the men in black chased after. There was smoke rising from afar with a large forested area which seemed like a good place to hide. However, the truth wasn't really the case. Everyone would think that it was the best place to hide, so that would also become the place where he would be found the most easily.

To the left was a small path with less footprints. Furthermore, it was a completely flat plain with no hiding place until a small village afar. It was a long road with no vegetation to the sides. Obviously, this was a place where someone running for his life would never go to.

But with Ling Tian's vast experience of escaping, this road was the safest! Ling Tian smiled in his heart, If you choose this path, I will help you. But if you did not choose this path, I will not help you even if you were to die in front of me! Because that would mean that you are not worth for me to save!'

Ling Tian turned into a flash in the snowy grounds and sprinted towards the left like lightning.

In a small desolate village with only tens of families, at times, the few people who pa.s.sed by the narrow walkway were filled with hunger on their faces. The whole village was extremely quiet and desolate with a dull atmosphere all over. At times, there was the sound of barking dogs.

As Ling Tian walked alone on the road, his eyes scanned around in search for a possible hiding place. If that boy was able to escape so far, he was completely fitting of Ling Tian's expectations.

As everyone saw this well dressed young man, they all displayed fear with a tinge of doubt within them. Why would a young master of a rich family appear here?

Ling Tian's actions were very fast; he quickly walked through the whole village once. He also made a pick of the best hiding places within the village and found the three best hiding spots.

A test which the one taking it was ignorant about had already began! Furthermore, it was already at its final stages!

First, the boy must escape until here at the very least before fulfilling the basic criteria. Furthermore, from the location of his hiding spot, Ling Tian would be able to tell how resolute this person was. Sprinting here from the city was definitely a great toll on the body. If he was able to escape until here, he must have spent a lot of thought planning his escape. But all of these weren't enough!

In order to meet Ling Tian's expectations, he must definitely hide himself immediately after escaping here! Furthermore, he would definitely require some food after expending so much energy. But if there was going to be a person begging or stealing food at that moment, he would definitely reveal himself. Thus, he had to endure even further!

The three hiding spots which Ling Tian picked out also had rankings. The one at the back of the village was the lousiest of them all. Although it was the most concealed, it was also the most dangerous. The moment it's blocked, there's no chance for escape at all.

The hiding place to the left of the village allowed one to attack or retreat. However, he would also have to pa.s.s through the whole village before arriving at that hiding place.
