The buzz-cut leader curled his lip. “What’s the point of saying that now? If we keep dragging her along, we’re all going to die because of her!”
“I don’t want to die here! If you two want to play at deep sisterly love or classmate loyalty, go ahead on your own. Count me out!”
With that, he turned and walked away.
“Yeah, exactly! Isn’t it your own fault for not being careful?”
“Heh, grow up a bit! We’re not kids any more!”
Once someone took the lead, seven or eight others followed and left.
More than a dozen hesitated, but when they heard the beast roars getting closer, their little faces paled and they ran too.
A few couldn’t stomach it. They left a couple of bottles of water and a small knife beside Zhou Yuqing, guilt written all over their faces, then jogged off.
Xu Que was so angry she couldn’t speak, teeth clenched.
Zhou Yuqing kept pushing her away. “Little Sparrow, go! You can still catch up! Go!”
Xu Que was crying from urgency, holding her tight. “I’m not going, not going, not going!”
Zhou Yuqing’s eyes softened. She pulled an apple from her hoodie pocket. “Want some? Hehe, I secretly saved one!”
Xu Que laughed through her tears. “You little idiot!”
After ditching the two girls, the buzz-cut group did move much faster.
But the moment they rounded the corner!
Every face went white, hair standing on end!
A gigantic wolf head, three metres tall, poked out from the bend! Scarlet eyes, bared fangs, thick drool dripping between its teeth!
The buzz-cut guy’s eyes nearly split. “Run back!”
Instantly, more than twenty people sprinted back the way they came!
A Black Wind Wolf over ten metres tall burst out and chased like mad!
“Brother Guang! Are we really running back?”
“Yeah, Zhou Yuqing and the other one…”
Liu Guang glared viciously. “Mind your own bloody business?”
At that moment everyone’s faces turned ugly.
Clearly Liu Guang planned to use the two girls as bait to buy time for the rest of them!
Their fate was obvious.
A thousand metres up in the sky, Jiang Nan and Zhong Yingxue stood on a spatial barrier, looking down at the scene.
Zhong Yingxue’s face was full of worry. “Xiao Nan! Aren’t we saving them yet?”
Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes and smirked coldly. “No rush!”
…
Right now, Zhou Yuqing and Xu Que were resting against a tree, sharing the apple bite for bite.
Suddenly Liu Guang and his group sped past like the wind!
Someone even shouted back, “You two, run!”
Before the girls could figure out what was happening!
A massive Black Wind Wolf smashed through huge trees and charged straight at them!
Xu Que’s little face went white as paper. She cursed, “Bastard Liu Guang! You’re not human!”
She hurriedly tried to pull Zhou Yuqing up, but in her panic they both fell to the ground.
The Black Wind Wolf’s blood-red eyes locked onto them and, sure enough, it slowed down!
Liu Guang, glancing back, let out a breath of relief!
But at that exact moment, an air cannon exploded out of nowhere ahead!
*BOOM!*
It sent Liu Guang, who was at the front, flying!
Everyone’s legs shook with fright!
Another blood-soaked Black Wind Wolf stepped out! Bits of flesh still hung from its fangs!
They were completely surrounded by two gold-tier spirit beasts!
Despair filled every eye!
Zhou Yuqing clenched her teeth, threw herself over Xu Que, trembling with fear!
One of the wolves pounced!
Jiang Nan, arms around Zhong Yingxue’s slim waist, leapt down from the sky!
He looked annoyed. “Tch, why didn’t it kill him?”
*BANG!*
The pouncing Black Wind Wolf slammed hard into a spatial barrier!
Jiang Nan instantly appeared in front of Zhou Yuqing!
He snapped his fingers lightly. A void black hole erupted!
*BOOM!*
The next instant, everything within a hundred-metre radius outside the barrier vanished!
The gold-tier-3 Black Wind Wolf was compressed into a black bead that dropped to the ground!
“Azure Flame Fall!”
A fifteen-metre-wide blue fireball blasted out, blowing the other Black Wind Wolf away!
Half its body was gone!
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the three big characters “Respect Old Folks Home” on their backs!
…Were they really this ferocious?
Two gold-tier spirit beasts wiped out in the blink of an eye?
Who on earth were these people? Rescue had arrived?
Jiang Nan crouched down and grinned. “It’s alright now, little girls. You were very brave, you… eh?”
He froze on the spot!
Zhou Yuqing’s big eyes were red as she stared at Jiang Nan in disbelief!
Her little mouth quivered, and all the fear and grievance inside her burst out at once!
She struggled forward and threw herself into his arms. “Waa~ Big Brother Jiang Nan! I… I…”
Jiang Nan’s eyes lit up with delight. “Little Yuqing? You’re in senior high already? When did you awaken your ability?”
Zhou Yuqing was sobbing too hard to speak, clutching his clothes for dear life!
Xu Que beside them was also stunned, then overjoyed. “South God? Is it really South God?”
“Oh my gosh! I’m telling you, I absolutely love you! I’ve watched all your videos! I even joined your fan club!”
“Heavens heavens! The real person! In the flesh!”
Xu Que completely forgot the danger they’d just been in and turned full fangirl, hopping around Jiang Nan!
Jiang Nan beamed. “All good now! No more crying, yeah? Big bro will get you out of here!”
Zhou Yuqing sniffled, rubbed her eyes, and blushed.
(⑉ŏ﹏ก̀⑉)
“How’s Auntie Zhou? Still running the barbecue stall at the alley entrance?”
“Yeah, my mum she… AHH!!!”
Halfway through her sentence, Jiang Nan yanked the wooden splinter from her leg, pulling out a gush of blood!
“Ow~ waa!”
Before she could react, mouth still open, Jiang Nan stuffed a baby ginseng into it!
Xu Que shivered watching. That distraction method was a bit too unique, wasn’t it?
Seeing rescue had arrived, the others were overjoyed!
Liu Guang crawled up from the side, spat out a mouthful of blood, several gashes across his body, and also breathed a sigh of relief!
“Great! Can you get us out first?”
Jiang Nan glanced at Liu Guang. The icy look made the guy shudder!
He raised a hand, opened his alternate dimension, and under everyone’s shocked eyes drove out a Unimog all-terrain armoured troop carrier!
“Sit in the back compartment!”
“Yuqing, you two take the rear seats!”
Everyone jumped into the back. Seeing how gently Jiang Nan treated the two girls, the rest felt sour inside!
The truck slowly rumbled through the jungle. Whenever an obstacle blocked the way, Zhong Yingxue simply blasted it flat!
She might not know how to drive, but clearing a path was no problem!
The people in the back felt their scalps go numb!
In the rear seats, Zhou Yuqing and Xu Que stared at Jiang Nan with shining eyes!
Especially Zhou Yuqing!
After more than a year apart, Big Brother Jiang Nan had become far too amazing! She almost hadn’t recognised him!
Every time she heard news about him it was on TV or the internet!
She never imagined the rescuer this time would be Jiang Nan himself!
So wonderful!
Well… apart from the nonstop nosebleed, everything else was perfect!
Right now, the students in the back compartment sat hugging their knees!
Every face was dark!
The jolting made them question their existence. Branches whipped past, leaving red marks all over their faces. It felt like sprinting through a cornfield!
Their heads were full of leaves!
Some even suspected Jiang Nan was doing it on purpose!
There was so much open ground, yet he insisted on driving through the densest trees?
Was he a child?
Liu Guang was jolted so hard he vomited two more mouthfuls of blood!
[Resentment from Liu Guang +1000!]
[Resentment from Yan Hua +333!]
[From…]
Jiang Nan looked solemn!
I’m really not doing it on purpose!
I just wanted to test the off-road performance of this truck!
Yes, that’s exactly it!
Liu Guang finally couldn’t take it any more. He banged on the roof. “Can I sit inside? There should still be space, right?”
Jiang Nan: “You cannot!”
[Resentment from Liu Guang +1000!]
Liu Guang gritted his teeth. “Then can I have one of those healing things from earlier? I’m injured!”
Jiang Nan glanced at him. “It’s fine! Minor wounds, you won’t die!”
[Resentment from Liu Guang +1000!]
He exploded in anger. “Are you sick or something? Is this how you rescue people?”
“Why target me like this? Just because you know Zhou Yuqing, the two of them get to sit inside?”
“Just because I didn’t bring them along? I wanted to live too! Why should I…”
Jiang Nan slammed on the brakes! Everyone lurched forward!
He teleported onto the roof, grabbed Liu Guang by the collar, and delivered a huge slap!
*SMACK!*
Liu Guang was sent sprawling in the compartment. His cheek swelled visibly, half his teeth knocked out!
He glared at Jiang Nan with hatred!
The sudden slap left everyone dumbfounded!
Jiang Nan casually sat on the roof and said calmly, “Never treat someone else’s kindness as something you deserve.”
“Nobody owes you anything!”
