I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 229 - 225 The Enemy Comes from Ragnarok
Chapter 229: Chapter 225 The Enemy Comes from Ragnarok Chapter 229 -225 The Enemy Comes from Ragnarok Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Taotie nodded, “It’s nothing, they’re probably just changing their magazines.”
“In this kind of environment where visibility is restricted, it’s incredibly difficult for those good-for-nothings to lay a finger on Tom, they don’t even know where to point their guns, they’re just firing wildly.”
Taotie’s tone was very relaxed, clearly very confident in Tom’s abilities.
Upon hearing Taotie’s words, Fang Xiaocao also let out a sigh of relief.
Taotie was a professional, so since he said so, Tom must be fine.
“So, what do we do?”
“Should we go in after Tom, or wait here?”
Fang Xiaocao blinked and asked.
“Us?”
“We should leave first!”
“Once the situation here is resolved, Tom will come after us.”
Taotie’s answer was unexpected for Fang Xiaocao.
Fang Xiaocao had thought that, given Taotie’s fiery temper, there was a good chance he would charge in to help Tom and take out all the assassins inside.
There was a very small chance that he would consider their safety and choose to wait with her outside for Tom.
Fang Xiaocao had even prepared arguments to convince Taotie to go in and help Tom.
But she had never imagined that Taotie would suggest they leave first.
“Princess Your Highness, we must leave this place.”
“We can’t be certain how many enemies there are, but the two groups that ambushed us already add up to dozens of men, and there might be more enemies in other places. If they can’t take Tom down here, others will come to aid them.”
“If we stay here, it would be easy to get surrounded and captured by the reinforcements.”
Taotie, playing the role of strategist, analyzed the current situation for Fang Xiaocao.
Listening to Taotie’s analysis, Fang Xiaocao was stunned, her gaze filled with surprise as she looked at him.
From now on, if anyone said that Taotie was brainless, Fang Xiaocao would definitely argue vehemently on his behalf.
How could someone without a brain come up with that?
She hadn’t even thought of any of this…
If Taotie was brainless, what about her?
Wasn’t that like saying her mind was completely empty, a complete mess?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Fang Xiaocao would never admit that she was a fool, they were both clever, after all.
Fang Xiaocao had to admit that Taotie’s analysis was spot on, without a single flaw.
In their current position where the enemy was hidden and they couldn’t ascertain the exact number of foes, making a swift retreat to avoid being surrounded by the enemy reinforcements was the right and only strategy to preserve their safety and minimize casualties.
Fang Xiaocao thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s agreement, Taotie also relaxed, took out his terminal device, and sent a message to Tom that he was retreating with Fang Xiaocao.
Taotie extended his hand towards Fang Xiaocao, “Come, Your Highness, let’s go!”
Fang Xiaocao nodded and placed her hand in Taotie’s.
Taotie, holding Fang Xiaocao’s hand, chose a direction and quickly left the area.
Just five minutes after Fang Xiaocao and Taotie had left, a squad arrived.
“Stop!”
The leader gestured with his hand and called out upon seeing the spot where Fang Xiaocao had just been.
The squad immediately came to a halt.
The leader squatted down and inspected the traces near the spot, picking up a cartridge casing from the grass and sniffing it.
The leader lifted his head, revealing a fierce face full of tattoos.
“Xiaoqin!”
The leader shouted.
“Captain!”
A fully-armed man responded.
“You continue to support the others; I’ll chase after these two runners.”
The tattooed leader said with a sneer.
“Yes, Captain!”
Xiaoqin acknowledged with a shout.
“Forward!”
Xiaoqin commanded the squad.
The squad moved on, forming a tactical formation as they entered the dissipating smoke.
The tattooed man squatted down and took a careful look around.
With a sneer, he accurately pursued in the direction Taotie and Fang Xiaocao had fled.
Clearly, this tattooed man was also an expert.
The speed of the tattooed face was incredibly fast.
He darted through the mountains and forests like a swift leopard.
His speed didn’t seem to be affected by the terrain at all.
With the speed of the tattooed face, catching up with Taotie and Fang Xiaocao was a piece of cake.
If it was just Taotie, he might not have been able to catch up.
But with Fang Xiaocao there, Taotie had to look out for her and couldn’t travel at full speed.
After ten minutes!
Taotie stopped in his tracks, turned his head over Fang Xiaocao’s shoulder, and looked behind them.
Taotie silently gazed into the darkness for a few seconds, sighed, and then turned to Fang Xiaocao, “Princess Your Highness, an enemy is catching up, a real expert. You wait here for me, I’ll go take care of him.”
“Remember, no matter who approaches you, as long as they don’t identify themselves, as long as it’s not Tom or me, don’t hesitate, just shoot immediately.”
“You mustn’t let anyone get close, protect yourself well.”
Taotie patiently instructed Xiaocao.
Fang Xiaocao nodded, “Mmh, I’ve got it.”

Taotie took out two magazines from his chest and handed them to Fang Xiaocao, then pulled out the Mountain Splitter Dagger from his waist and quickly left along the path they came from.
Taotie knew the tattooed-face that was catching up was an expert; he couldn’t afford to have the battle near Fang Xiaocao.
Otherwise, it would be easy for someone to take advantage of the situation and either take Fang Xiaocao hostage or hurt her, making him seem inferior.
One minute later!
The tattooed face was less than five hundred meters from Fang Xiaocao.
“Hehe~”
“Is the little mouse tired?”
“That they’ve actually stopped!”
The tattooed face muttered with a sneer.
Just then!
A whooshing sound.
Taotie leaped down from a tree branch above the tattooed face, the Mountain Splitter Dagger in his hand swooshing through the air, aimed directly at the tattooed face’s head.
The tattooed face was terrified.
He rolled over like a rolling donkey to avoid Taotie.
But his shirt on the back was still slashed by the sharp blade of the Mountain Splitter Dagger.
The tattooed face got up, his heart still racing with fear, and looked at Taotie with eyes full of anger and wariness.
“Hehe~”
“Not bad at all!”
Taotie, holding the Mountain Splitter Dagger, looked at the tattooed face with an amused gaze.
“Who are you?”
The tattooed face asked in a deep voice.
As he spoke, he drew a bayonet from his waist.
“You guys dare to hunt us without even knowing who I am?”
Taotie asked with a sneer.
“Took the job, I don’t care who you are!”
The tattooed face said coldly.
“Hehe~”
Upon hearing this, Taotie sneered.
After sizing up the tattooed face for a while,
Taotie suddenly looked startled.
He asked, “Are you a Ragnarok mercenary?”
Upon hearing Taotie’s words, the tattooed face looked startled.
Surprised, he looked at Taotie, “You know me?”
Taotie shook his head, “Can’t say I know you, I’ve just heard of Ragnarok, that’s all.”
“Let me introduce myself, Blacklist, Taotie!”
Taotie said solemnly.
“Blacklist?”
The tattooed face looked startled, somewhat surprised.
“Ragnarok, Kui Mulang!”
The tattooed face introduced himself.
“What are you Blacklist doing here?”
Kui Mulang asked in a deep voice.
