Chapter 214 - 181: Little Nannan, Danger

Chapter 214: Chapter 181: Little Nannan, Danger

’Did those two kill them all?’

The thought sent a shiver down the spines of Second Sister-in-law and the brown-bear man. A look of awe and fear entered their eyes.

At the same time, they glanced behind them again before choosing to move closer to the pair.

They had no choice.

Right now, only those two could make them feel safe.

Just then.

"ROAR."

From another direction, a Spiritual Ape whose eyes were no longer crimson red came charging out.

"Careful!"

Second Sister-in-law and the brown-bear man both went on high alert.

But in the next moment...

"THUD."

The Spiritual Ape staggered forward a few steps and then pitched face-first onto the ground.

It never got back up.

’It’s dead?’

Second Sister-in-law and the brown-bear man stood frozen, momentarily unsure of what had just happened.

Only Xia Yu understood.

This was the aftereffect of going into an ’excessive frenzy’.

"ROAR."

A second Spiritual Ape appeared. This one was stronger; it swayed on its feet as it left, not daring to attack Xia Yu and the others.

"SWISH."

Xia Yu kicked the combat knife at her feet.

"THWIP."

The knife shot out, precisely sinking into the Spiritual Ape’s back, right where its heart was.

Dead.

Over the next few moments.

Three more Spiritual Apes emerged from the mist one after another.

After that, no more Spiritual Apes appeared.

As for the ones that didn’t emerge... one didn’t need to guess their fate. They were probably never coming out again.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

"Ptui."

Hong She spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, staggering out while supporting Xie Shaokun.

"Phew."

Seeing this, Second Sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been desperately hoping Hong She and his group would make it out, because... she knew that Xia Yu and Little Flower wanted them to come out alive.

If Hong She and the others had died in the mist, Xia Yu and Little Flower would surely have been displeased. And when people like that were displeased, they were capable of anything—for example, slaughtering her and the brown-bear man.

’I hope that little girl makes it out alive, too.’

Second Sister-in-law prayed inwardly.

"Yu."

"Little Nannan isn’t out yet?"

Hong She wasn’t surprised by the scene before him. He looked worriedly toward the mist and asked.

"No."

Xia Yu shook her head.

"I’ll go back in and look for her!"

Hong She gently laid Xie Shaokun on a large rock, preparing to enter the mist again.

"Don’t."

Xia Yu stopped him. "There’s an existence in there comparable to the Monkey King. Even I am no match for it. If you rush in and encounter it, you will certainly die."

She paused for a moment, then said, "You take those two and a few guns. Circle the perimeter of the mist."

"The mist has no direction and no borders. It’s very possible Little Nannan will emerge from a different area."

"There are still quite a few Spiritual Apes alive. If she runs into them..."

"I’m afraid she’ll be in danger."

"Yes!"

Hong She immediately called over Second Sister-in-law and the brown-bear man.

At this, Second Sister-in-law and the brown-bear man both breathed a sigh of relief and cooperated eagerly.

They knew they were going to live!

"Wait."

"Take that person over there with you."

Xia Yu pointed to a spot in the rubble. It was covered with a large number of Spiritual Ape and human corpses—a literal ’corpse pile’.

???

The three of them were stunned.

’Could there actually be someone still alive in there?’

Trusting Xia Yu, the three of them quickly walked toward the ’corpse pile’.

The reason Xia Yu was so certain someone was alive there was because she could sense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power converging on the ’corpse pile’ at a terrifying speed.

’This person’s physical talent has reached the top-grade.’

’No, it’s even a bit stronger than top-grade!’

A glint appeared in her eyes.

’If this person can survive until the end of the Mist Event, it might be worth considering recruiting them.’

After all, a top-grade physical talent was one in ten thousand.

One that surpassed top-grade...

...was one in a hundred thousand!

’If that’s combined with an entry-level guiding technique...’

’This person’s cultivation speed would be absolutely monstrous.’

"THUMP."

"THUMP."

...

Hong She and the others had begun to pull the corpses aside.

Soon, they saw a familiar figure: the bald man!

Though he was covered in blood and filth, his signature bald head was still extremely conspicuous.

"That’s him!"

Xia Yu’s voice rang out.

"THWACK."

Hong She kicked the bald man directly and said, "Stop pretending."

"I’ll count to three."

"If you don’t get up, you can stay down forever."

"Three."

"WHOOSH."

The bald man immediately jumped to his feet, full of life.

Everyone: "..."

The bald man hurriedly explained, "I really was seriously injured! I felt like I was about to die, so right before the end, I hid under a few corpses."

"I don’t know why, but now I’m completely fine. In fact, I feel better than I ever have before."

"Cut the crap."

"Grab a knife and follow us."

Hong She had a new level of respect for the man’s survival skills, but he also knew this wasn’t the time to discuss it. He turned and walked away.

"Oh, okay!"

The bald man hurriedly found a combat knife that wasn’t chipped from the corpse pile and followed them.

The four of them departed, following the edge of the mist.

Xia Yu’s gaze returned to the mist, and she fell into thought. ’The mist has its own rules. If I can study them thoroughly, I won’t get lost inside.’

’I might even be able to keenly sense Little Nannan’s location.’

She was exceptionally talented when it came to Rule Enlightenment, and she had just achieved a breakthrough. In the future, it wasn’t impossible that she could comprehend the rules of the mist.

She could then turn the mist into a ’sharp weapon’ that worked to her advantage.
