Chapter 449: The Flame Demon Arrives (9)

After handling the supplies, the two continued on their way. As they walked, without warning, Ah Fu suddenly let out a shrill scream and quickly sank.

"Don't move!" Xia Yueke's pupils suddenly shrank and she shouted in fear. She reacted instantly - Ah Fu stepped on quicksand!

At the critical moment, Xia Yueke suddenly threw the heavy package on his back aside and rushed towards the nearby bushes with a nimble movement.

She quickly locked onto a thick and strong branch, held it with both hands, and exerted force suddenly. With a crisp sound of the branch breaking, she successfully broke the branch off.

Then, she quickly ran back to the quicksand and without hesitation, she lay down on the scorching sand, stretched out her arms, handed the branch to Ah Fu, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Grab it!"

Ah Fu's face was filled with fear, his eyes full of despair and helplessness, and he reached out in panic to grab the branch tightly.

Xia Yueke gritted her teeth, tensed her arm muscles, and pulled back with all her might. However, the quicksand's suction was incredibly strong, and Ah Fu's body continued to sink, half of it already submerged.

Xia Yueke was extremely anxious. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and evaporated instantly when they landed on the sand.

This unlucky kid is so unlucky, why does he encounter everything?

Xia Yueke felt that he was unlucky. Now he had to use his energy to save people. He had saved up energy for half a day, but now it was about to be used up. But he couldn't bear to see him disappear like this.

Xia Yueke gritted her teeth and loudly encouraged Ah Fu: "Hold on! You can do it!"

While quickly scanning the surroundings, he found several stones of different sizes not far away.

She took a deep breath and suddenly pulled Ah Fu upwards while the suction of the quicksand slowed down.

Ah Fu's cries for help became weaker and weaker, and he was about to be completely swallowed by the quicksand. A trace of determination flashed in Xia Yueke's eyes, and she burst out with her last bit of strength.

She pushed the ground hard with her feet, leaned back, held the branch tightly with both hands, and with a roar, she miraculously pulled Ah Fu out of the quicksand!

The two men collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily, their clothes soaked with sweat, their hearts still beating violently in their chests.

Ah Fu survived the ordeal, his eyes filled with gratitude and awe towards Xia Yueke: "Xia Yueke, thanks to you, otherwise I would have died here today!"

Xia Yueke wiped the sweat and dust from her face, calmed down and said, "I'm glad you're okay. Be careful next time."

She collapsed on the ground and rested for a while before getting up and looking at the quicksand that had sucked Ah Fu in.

The sand in that place was still moving slowly, and her supplies were scattered all around.

Xia Yueke took a look and held his forehead.

Oh my goodness, it turns out that those things she thought were thrown away were not thrown away, but because their owners were swept away by the quicksand, and they were forced to leave behind only their relics.

Maybe they wanted to take off the supplies on their bodies as life-saving things, but failed. The supplies were left behind, but they were all swept away.

Xia Yueke was lost in thought, while Ah Fu next door was picking up supplies from the ground and putting them away one by one.

"Boss! The two people here weren't swept away by the quicksand!"

A rough male voice sounded, filled with disbelief.

Xia Yueke froze all over, looked back, and saw a group of people coming out of the bushes not far away.

The man walking in front was wearing overalls, spitting everywhere, looking at Xia Yueke and Afu with disbelief on his face.

Ah Fu immediately stood in front of Xia Yueke with vigilance, and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The man in overalls was very arrogant, his expression disdainful: "Yo, you still want to ask who we are? Hand over all the supplies you have on you, and I will spare your life!"

There were seven or eight people behind him, who seemed to be from the same gang. They all began to gather around, staring at Xia Yueke and Ah Fu with eager eyes.

Ah Fu had never seen such a scene before. His lips trembled with fear, but he suppressed his fear and shouted loudly: "Xia Yueke, run!"

Before Xia Yueke could stand up again and say anything, a familiar voice came from behind the bushes not far away.

"Xia Yueke?"

The voice was so unforgettable that Xia Yueke froze.

Bai Jinglan!?

Why is it him again?

Bai Jinglan slowly walked out from the crowd. He was wearing a black shirt and black pants. The scar at the corner of his eyebrow looked even more eye-catching in the sunlight. The corner of his mouth was raised in a wanton and ruffian smile, but his eyes were sharp and unfathomable. The corners of his eyes were raised, and he looked up and down at Xia Yueke with a smile.

A normal reaction finally flashed in his eyes, "You're not dead yet?" Bai Jinglan put his hands in his pockets, walked forward boldly, tilted his head, and had a provocative smile on his face.

Bai Jinglan was obviously shocked by this scene, and his voice became several degrees higher, which was very different from his usual lazy and in-control look.

When Xia Yuke saw that it was Bai Jinglan, anger immediately burst out of her eyes. They were really wronged by each other. She didn't expect to meet again this time.

Without waiting for Xia Yueke's answer, Bai Jinglan glanced at Ah Fu standing next to him. He had returned to his old self and said in a teasing tone, "Oh? Your little brother isn't here? It seems like you two aren't that destined to be together after all? You're not even in the same game again."

After Bai Jinglan finished speaking, he laughed heartily, his little fangs faintly visible in the sunlight.

His originally fair skin has become slightly darker due to the sun exposure in the past few days, but it does not hinder his handsomeness, but instead adds a bit of beauty.

Xia Yueke gnashed her teeth, "Bai Jinglan! You have no business caring about us. And you are so shameless! You actually dared to show up in front of me? I haven't even settled the score with you for what happened last time, and you showed up on your own!"

Bai Jinglan raised an eyebrow and looked around. "You're so arrogant now? Didn't you call me Brother Bai before? And don't you see what the situation is now? You've been captured by me, okay?!"

Xia Yue really wanted to rush up and slap Bai Jinglan twice, but he was right. All the people around here were his people, and there were seven or eight of them. He had become the boss of these people again. I don't know how he gathered so many younger brothers in such a short time.

After all, these little brothers are not the same as before.

It seems that Bai Jinglan is very popular in this kind of game. Xia Yueke felt like her teeth were about to fall out.

Bai Jinglan was delighted to see Xia Yueke, who was furious but helpless. "Take these two away! I want to ask Xia Dadan what exactly you are capable of that allows you to crawl out of the gates of hell time and time again!"

Bai Jinglan narrowed his eyes slightly, like a cunning fox. You could tell at a glance that he was planning something bad. The look in his eyes was chilling.
