Chapter 85 Trading Oneself for An'an's Safety



After listening, Shen Nanxing turned to Yun Hua and the other person without hesitation, "Get your bags, we're leaving now."

Yunhua and Yunfan immediately went into the cave, put on their emergency kits, picked up the emergency lights from the ground, and came out.

Just as Shen Nanxing was about to say goodbye, the entire underground area suddenly trembled slightly, accompanied by the sound of surging water.

In just a few seconds, a large amount of water surged into both sides of the stone path, carrying countless mutated creatures struggling inside.

"Use your superpowers to protect yourself, and whatever you do, don't let the water get into your mouth or nose!"

Jiang Nian'an's expression changed. She only had time to put a safety helmet on the heads of the three people and give them a brief explanation before she was swept into the water.

Before the water arrived, Shen Nanxing pulled Jiang Nian'an into his arms, and lightning crackled around him, knocking away the mutated creatures that were trying to attack them in the water.

Jiang Nian'an wrapped vines around the two of them again and again.

The stone path is too narrow and the water flow is too fast; if no anti-collision measures are taken, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Yunhua pulled Yunfan along, creating a whirlpool of water around them to keep their bodies from crashing into the stone wall.

Yunfan is responsible for attacking the mutated creatures in the water.

The four were quickly swept out of the stone path and into a wider one.

The water level dropped considerably, and although the current was still rapid, at least the four of them could keep their heads above water.

"Whoosh—"

All four of them were panting heavily.

Fearing that the four would get separated again, Jiang Nian'an threw a vine at Yun Fan and the other person, which tightly bound them together.

Keep the four people within 15 meters as much as possible.

As for the King and Little Silver, they were already tightly entwined around her.

"Brother Chen, do you think this water can wash us out of this underground?"

Jiang Nian'an took out a powerful waterproof flashlight and shone it ahead, but the stone path was exceptionally long, and she couldn't see the end of it at all.

A look of worry flashed in her eyes.

If we can't break out of this underground, then we'll be in big trouble.

Even if they are superhumans, they cannot live in the water indefinitely.

"Yes!" Shen Nanxing's voice was unusually firm in the darkness. "Don't be afraid."

He looked down at Jiang Nian'an, his arm around her waist tightening slightly. "The direction of this water is the same as that of the previous river."

The river has been flowing underground for so long, but the ground is only damp without stagnant water, which means there must be an outlet, so we can definitely get out.”

“Brother Chen is right, An’an, don’t worry, we will definitely get out of here.”

Yun Fan flung out several balls of ice energy, freezing the mutated creatures that were charging at him. Then he looked up and grinned at Jiang Nian'an.

'boom--'

As soon as Yunfan finished speaking, the entire stone path suddenly shook again.

The stone top above cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, and countless roots emerged from it, constantly taking root downwards.

The stones also fell as the root system grew.

The four of them took action, smashing the rocks above and using their powers to cut off the roots extending towards them.

"ah!"

The survivor floating in front of them suddenly screamed as his entire body was pierced by the roots that had emerged from above.

The stench of blood filled the air, making the surrounding mutated creatures turn red with rage.

The mutated creatures, who had previously been wary of Shen Nanxing's lightning energy, launched another attack on them.

"careful!"

Just as a mutated calf with sharp horns was charging toward Jiang Nian'an, Shen Nanxing unleashed a lightning strike, killing the calf instantly.

Then, grabbing its horns and pushing it forward with force, the mutated calf's carcass floated forward.

Unexpectedly, the mutated calf's mother was nearby, and when she saw the calf's tragic death, she instantly flew into a rage.

'Moo!'

The mutated bull slammed its hind legs against the rock wall, sending its half-meter-long horns hurtling straight at the two men.

"Little Silver!"

Jiang Nian'an tossed Little Silver onto the mutated bull. Little Silver opened its snake mouth and bit down hard on the mutated bull's head.

The toxin invaded the mutated cow's brain instantly, killing it instantly.

But its corpse, propelled by inertia and the force of the water flow, continued to hurtle towards Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an.

The two were unable to escape because the current was too strong and the mutated bull's carcass was too large.

Yunfan and Yunhua, who were behind them, had drastically changed their expressions.

Yunfan erected a thick wall of ice in front of the mutated bull's corpse, attempting to slow its forward momentum.

Yunhua also created a vortex around the two, trying to use its power to move their positions.

But the ice wall was broken through in an instant, and the vortex was also blown away.

Jiang Nian'an's vines had already wrapped around the mutated creature in front of them, preparing to use its strength to carry the two of them forward for a distance.

But the roots above suddenly became restless, and the mutated creature she was about to use for support was pierced through.

Now, forget about leveraging any resources.

If she hadn't withdrawn her powers quickly, she would have been dragged down into the water by the corpse of that mutated creature.

Without thinking, Shen Nanxing kicked hard against the stone wall, simultaneously using his own lightning energy to shatter the vines on his body.

If the mutated bull had actually charged straight at them, they would have been crippled or killed.

He was willing to trade his own life for safety and security.

Jiang Nian'an's expression changed, and she grabbed his arm tightly. "Brother Chen, what are you going to do?"

"Don't be afraid," Shen Nanxing smiled gently at her, "I told you, I would protect you."

Using the momentum from his feet, he shifted his body to the side, just enough to push Jiang Nian'an out of the range of the mutated bull carcass's impact.

He himself was pierced in the back by the mutated bull's right horn, and then knocked away by the mutated bull's huge, heavy corpse.

Shen Nanxing coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he still remembered what Jiang Nian'an had said: he must not let the water enter his mouth or nose.

He struggled to hold onto the roots extending down from above, keeping himself afloat.

“Brother Chen!!” Jiang Nian’an’s eyes instantly reddened.

How could anyone risk their life for her safety?
