"tiger!"
"Run!"
The crowd erupted in chaos! Cries and screams filled the air! Terrified, everyone shoved and pushed backward in panic! Some were even knocked to the ground!
The boy was so frightened that he stood there dumbfounded!
The tiger pushed off the ground with its hind legs, its massive body carrying a foul stench, and pounced on the terrified boy!
Its gaping maw opened wide, its fangs gleaming coldly!
At this critical moment!
Bang--!!!
A deafening roar, more ferocious and tearing through the air than a tiger's roar, exploded out!
Jiang Chan had somehow appeared in front of the boy, holding up the dark, cold "iron lump" in her hand!
A flash of gunfire!
The tiger, pouncing in mid-air, jolted violently! A huge hole the size of a bowl burst open on the side of its massive head! Red and white blood mixed with bone fragments sprayed out! Its enormous body slammed to the ground with its momentum, its limbs twitched a few times, and then it lay still! Blood quickly stained the withered leaves beneath it.
Dead silence!
Only the howling mountain wind and the heavy, terrified breathing of the crowd could be heard!
Everyone seemed frozen in place, staring dumbfounded at the enormous tiger carcass on the ground, then at the gun barrel in Jiang Chan's hand, which was still emitting faint blue smoke.
That fierce and violent aura was even stronger than that of a tiger!
"Ah! Thank you, Fairy Maiden, for saving my life!" The boy, having escaped death, collapsed to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly.
"The Fairy Maiden is mighty!"
"The fairy maiden's magical power is boundless!"
The crowd reacted, their awe and fervor reaching their peak! A large number of them knelt down in a panic!
Even Chen Yan subconsciously held his breath, his eyes filled with shock and an indescribable complexity as he looked at Jiang Chan.
"Get up!" Jiang Chan put away her gun, her voice cold and hard, tinged with impatience. "I told you not to kneel! Rest here and cook the tiger meat!"
Only then did everyone cautiously get up, looking at Jiang Chan as if she were a real deity.
...
We traveled for another two days.
The view ahead suddenly opened up!
However, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom in an instant!
They were standing at the top of a steep cliff!
Below us lay a bottomless valley, shrouded in mist. Opposite us was another equally steep cliff, seemingly side by side, the closest straight-line distance being tens of meters! On either side stretched endless, smooth, and precipitous cliffs, too steep for even monkeys to climb!
A precipice! A true dead end!
"It's over...there's no way out..."
"Heaven is going to destroy us!"
"How could this happen... Old Man Sun! Didn't you say we could get out?" The desperate cries rang out again.
The old woodcutter's face turned ashen. He knelt down on the edge of the cliff, staring into the deep valley. "I...I didn't take this path before...it was over there...I thought this way I could get around...I...I've ruined everyone's lives!" He beat his chest and stamped his feet in despair.
"How can we walk across this... we have to fly across!"
Chen Yan's face was also extremely ugly.
He surveyed the terrain, his voice heavy, "Miss Jiang... this cliff is too high and too steep, it's impossible to get down. How about... we turn back the way we came? Find a secluded place to hide for a few days, and once things have calmed down, we'll figure out a way to get down from another direction..."
“No!” Jiang Chan refused resolutely, her tone firm and decisive.
Return the way they came? Not to mention the officials might still be searching, just traversing this godforsaken place again—the time, food, and potential dangers—were all beyond her capacity to bear! The supplies in her spatial dimension couldn't withstand such a ordeal! Xiao Tao and the others wouldn't last either!
She walked to the edge of the cliff and peered down. It was bottomless! The detector transmitted the following data: [Vertical drop: approximately 180 meters. Cliff angle: average 85 degrees. No reliable climbing points.]
She has high-strength ropes for use in the apocalypse, but the longest one is only 100 meters!
And with so many people, how are we going to get them down? Hang them down one by one? The risk is too great! If one person falls and dies halfway down, it will cause a chain reaction!
what to do?!
A strong sense of frustration and helplessness welled up inside me. I had thought there was a shortcut through the area... Was I really going to be trapped and die in this godforsaken place?
Just then!
【bite!】
That cold, life-saving yet death knell electronic voice rang out without warning!

A small vertical takeoff and landing aircraft?!
Jiang Chan's mind went blank!
It can fly?! It can take everyone away from this damn cliff?!
Looking at the bottomless cliff in front of me, and hearing the desperate cries behind me...
A flash of struggle appeared in Jiang Chan's eyes, which was quickly replaced by a desperate and ruthless look!
As long as I can get a plane! As long as I can get out of this hellhole!
Her will was like a knife, stabbing fiercely at the flashing "Yes"!
accept!
Buzz—! !!! !
An unprecedented, intense tearing sensation instantly swept through my body, and my consciousness was violently pulled away!
