Li Muyan was going mad!
At a time like this!
He still had the mood to joke?
Standing still makes you a turtle?
How could he be so calm!
Jiang Nan casually tore the barbed wire!
Hoisted Li Muyan over his shoulder!
Turned back to glance calmly at the 20-metre-tall earth bear!
Flipped it the middle finger!
“See ya!”
“Boom!”
The ground shook, the massive bear paw slammed down, sending dirt and rocks flying!
The power was jaw-dropping!
If that hit you!
It’d be a one-way ticket to a colour photo obituary.
A hundred metres away, Jiang Nan slashed away falling debris with his sword!
“Where’s Li Xiang and the others?”
Li Muyan’s body stiffened, she bit her lower lip so hard it bled, unnoticed…
“Didn’t… didn’t see them!”
Her heart was a mess!
Li Xiang, the one she trusted most!
The polished class monitor!
Abandoned her without hesitation in a life-or-death moment!
Yet it was Jiang Nan, who she always clashed with, who saved her!
Though she disliked him!
She had to admit.
Jiang Nan’s actions, that radiant smile under the bear’s paw, were undeniably cool!
Carried on his shoulder, Li Muyan felt an inexplicable sense of safety.
She wanted to stay there.
But Jiang Nan wasn’t having it!
“Hey, hey, hey! I called you a turtle, and you really don’t move?”
“Get down! Move yourself!”
Li Muyan: ???
Move myself?
Hmph! Fine, I’ll move!
Wait?
No!
Why did his perfectly normal words sound wrong coming from him?
[Resentment points from Li Muyan +333!]
But facing the rampaging earth bear, her eyes were full of fear!
“What… what do we do now?”
At this moment, Jiang Nan was her only anchor!
Jiang Nan scoffed, “What do you mean ‘we’? It’s you! You’ll die if you follow me!”
Li Muyan grabbed his arm, clinging tightly!
“No!”
“Don’t leave me alone!”
She trembled!
Jiang Nan sighed helplessly, “I’m not joking! You’ll really die with me!”
No kidding!
White Shark was after him!
Who knew what they’d planned behind the scenes!
Letting Li Muyan stay with him?
She wouldn’t know how she died!
They were classmates, though they didn’t get along, but could Jiang Nan let her die?
He couldn’t be that heartless!
Besides, who wasn’t someone’s child? How heartbroken would their parents be if they died in the spiritual ruins?
He tried to pull his hand free!
But Li Muyan held on, refusing to let go!
“Are you a sticking plaster or what?”
This woman was so clingy???
Damn!
Then!
The earth bear sniffed!
Its scarlet gaze locked onto Jiang Nan!
It charged towards them!
Jiang Nan’s eyes widened!
What the hell! Why me out of everyone?
Tell me!
Jealous of my dashing looks?
With no choice, Jiang Nan hoisted Li Muyan!
Teleported to escape!
And the earth bear chased him!
Jiang Nan’s mind was a stampede of a million horses!
If only I had this luck with the lottery!
…
With the earth bear drawn away by Jiang Nan!
The pressure on the students in the ruined stronghold eased, most escaped!
An Ning and Chen Chen had joined Lynx!
Lynx’s face was icy, “What happened! Where’s Jiang Nan?”
An Ning said anxiously, “I saw him being chased by that earth bear!”
“White Shark has a gold-level earth ability user!”
Lynx said coldly, “White Shark has more than these people! The other retreating students were ambushed!”
“You two, work with the Dark Night Army, fully assist the students’ retreat, even if it costs your lives, no student dies! Understood?”
Chen Chen saluted, “Yes! Captain!”
An Ning, worried, “But what about Jiang Nan?”
The spiritual ruins were vast!
Finding one person was like a needle in a haystack!
With White Shark lurking!
The Dark Night Army escorting students had no time to search for Jiang Nan!
It was like a death sentence for him!
Lynx gritted her teeth, “Sacrifice the few for the many! Every life matters, we can’t risk all these students for Jiang Nan!”
“This is White Shark’s goal, to tie up the Dark Night Army with the students!”
“I’ll find him myself!”
“If Jiang Nan dies! His life is on me, Luo Tianhong!”
She crouched, unleashing wild power!
The hard ground cracked under her! She shot off like a cannonball!
Kicking up gusts of wind!
An Ning was full of worry!
Chen Chen said solemnly, “Follow orders!”
…
Elsewhere, Jiang Nan carried Li Muyan, fleeing!
In the dark, he barely knew the way!
He brought her into a stalactite cave!
They finally caught their breath!
Faint roars echoed from outside!
The earth bear was still hunting them!
Jiang Nan was puzzled!
Why the hell was it chasing me?
How was this beast tracking them?
Teleporting didn’t shake it!
His gaze fell on Li Muyan!
She sat huddled in a corner!
Tears in her big eyes!
Her usual arrogance gone!
Softly sobbing!
Jiang Nan’s eyes scanned her like a razor!
Li Muyan glanced at him weakly!
Shrinking back!
Why… why was he looking at me like that?
Was he thinking something weird?
Her heart raced with worry.
Then Jiang Nan said, “Take off your jeans!”
Li Muyan: !!!
Take off my trousers?
Now you want me to take them off?
What’s he planning, isn’t it obvious?
As expected!
Jiang Nan didn’t have good intentions saving her!
He brought her to this cave on purpose…
Li Muyan backed away, eyes full of fear, “Stay back!”
“Jiang Nan! I didn’t think you were this kind of person!”
Jiang Nan: ???
What the hell?
What kind of person am I?
Just take off your trousers!
Self-overthinking women are terrifying!
Jiang Nan saw the pink liquid staining her jeans!
It was from Ivanov’s grenade, the culprit behind the beast tide!
Then!
The earth bear found them, the cave entrance too small!
It slammed the cave with its paws, making Li Muyan scream!
Jiang Nan urged, “Hurry! Take off your trousers!”
Li Muyan, wiping tears, “Can we escape first? Do whatever you want later!”
“Please, listen to me!”
Her tone carried a plea!
Jiang Nan: ???
What!
I don’t understand!
“No! Take them off now!”
Li Muyan shook her head desperately!
There was one thing!
She absolutely couldn’t let Jiang Nan see!
