In the dead of night, the rain was still drizzling, and the sounds of survivors' sleep-talking and snoring could be heard from time to time in the library.
Amidst the commotion, the little blood fox suddenly opened its eyes.
It gently twitched its ears, listened intently, and then quickly ran to the king, who was resting in front of Jiang Nian'an's tent, and poked it with its little paw.
"Waaah~"
The king opened his eyes alertly, looked down at the little blood fox, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
The little blood fox pointed outside the library and let out a soft whimper to let it know that something was happening outside.
'Hiss'
The king immediately straightened up, leaped up onto the window beside him, and climbed out through the half-open window.
It was now Chen Yang and Yuan Yi's turn to keep watch.
Upon seeing the actions of the king and the little blood fox, the two immediately became alert.
"Yuan Yi, wake everyone up."
Chen Yang turned his head and gave Yuan Yi a deep instruction, then quickly walked to Luo Yue's tent and gently woke her up.
Luo Yue rubbed her eyes and crawled out of the tent, asking sleepily, "Chen Yang, what's up?"
Chen Yang looked outside the library and said in a low voice, "Something's not right outside."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yue instantly snapped to attention. "Something's wrong? Are they zombies?"
"I don't know," Chen Yang shook his head. "You stay here, I'll go out and check the situation."
"Chen Yang, I'll go with you."
Yuan Yi hurriedly walked to Chen Yang's side, carrying a specially made steel knife in his hand.
"Don't go!" Jiang Nian'an called out to the two of them. "They're not zombies. Let's wait for the King to return."
She had already learned from the little blood fox, whose hearing was extremely sensitive, that a group of big creatures had arrived outside.
But the little blood fox couldn't tell exactly what they were, only that they were loitering outside the library.
"Sister, give me a weapon too!"
Xiao Longzhan did a few squats on the spot, and then excitedly tugged at Jiang Nian'an's clothes.
Jiang Nian'an looked at the empty library, where there was almost no place to hide, and nodded.
Having a weapon in hand is a form of protection.
"Sister," Xiao Longzhan transmitted telepathically, "I want that big hammer from the armory!"
Following his words, Jiang Nian'an's consciousness quickly arrived at the corner where various weapons and tools were piled up.
When she saw the large hammer carelessly tossed on the ground, her temples throbbed twice.
The sledgehammer Xiao Longzhan mentioned is 1.2 meters long, forged entirely from high-quality steel, and weighs about 10 kilograms.
Once standing upright, it was a head taller than Xiao Longzhan, and its total weight was even heavier than the knife in Shen Nanxing's hand.
"Are you sure you want this big hammer?" Jiang Nian'an asked, somewhat uncertainly.
A confident glint flashed in Xiao Longzhan's eyes as he nodded firmly. "I'm sure, I want it!"
Jiang Nian'an took out the sledgehammer with some skepticism.
The heavy weight made her shoulders slump involuntarily.
Xiao Longzhan took it, tossed it in his hand, and muttered to himself, "It's a bit light, but it'll do for now."
Watching the large hammer being casually flipped around in Xiao Longzhan's hands as if it were nothing, Jiang Nian'an's eyes twitched a few times.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Longzhan took the hammer from her, she would have thought it had been switched.
At this moment, Jiang Nian'an gained a new understanding of Xiao Longzhan's immense strength.
Xiao Longzhan hoisted the sledgehammer onto his shoulder, jogged over to Shen Nanxing's side, and patted his chest back at Jiang Nian'an.
"Sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Full of heroic spirit.
Upon hearing this, Shen Nanxing narrowed his eyes slightly, gave a soft snort, and picked up Xiaolong Zhan.
"Um?"
The unusual weight made him unconsciously frown, and his gaze fell on the large hammer in Xiao Longzhan's hand.
Seeing how relaxed Xiaolong Zhanwu looked, he thought it was a finely crafted toy hammer, but he didn't expect it to be a real hammer.
And it's not light either.
Jiang Nian'an walked to Shen Nanxing's side, touched her nose, and whispered, "You didn't expect that, did you? The little guy can actually lift a 20-pound hammer..."
Shen Nanxing nodded, but when he thought about how Xiao Longzhan was a power-type ability user, he felt that this was normal.
Looking at Xiao Longzhan, who hadn't even reached the height of a hammer yet, he still felt it was a dream.
"Let me go, let me go!"
Xiao Longzhan was holding a big hammer, his two short legs flapping in mid-air.
Shen Nanxing snapped out of his daze and placed him behind him, saying, "An'an is protected by me, you don't need to."
"I will protect my sister!"
Xiao Longzhan was not convinced, so he put the hammer on the ground, jumped up and hugged Shen Nanxing's leg tightly.
Unless your brother-in-law lifts his own leg up too, don't even think about leaving him aside.
Hehehe~
He strained to look up at Shen Nanxing, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.
??( ? )??
The dragon, when he was born, was all about cheating.
"They've lost all their weapons, yet they have the audacity to claim they can protect An'an. Ha~"
Shen Nanxing drew the knife from behind him with his right hand, pulled Jiang Nian'an into his arms with his left hand, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
"An'an, I'll protect you."
After saying that, he looked down at the petrified Xiao Longzhan and smirked, "Kid, you're still too green!"
Xiao Longzhan's lips twitched, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Sister, please find me a brother-in-law who won't bully children!"
Xiao Longzhan looked aggrieved and suddenly pointed at Luo Yi.
"I think Brother Luo Yi is great. I want Brother Luo Yi to be my brother-in-law. I like Brother Luo Yi!"
