Chapter 48
The more you fear something, the more it will come to you.
The pangolin's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the tree trunks supporting the five people's heads were shaking with the giant beast's footsteps.
Fenghuo continued to mouth the words: "It seems like it is really sweeping the carpet."
Even if they couldn't see it, they could hear the sound of a large number of trees being swept off the ground. Given the size of this S-level pangolin and the length of its tail, a sweep of its tail could blow away a large area of tree debris and the corpses of low-level monsters that were implicated.
Fenghuo: "When the enemy sweeps us, should we also pretend to be corpses and fly away?"
Xinghe pointed to the left front, the front, and the right front. "Fenghuo Qingteng, together. Lianying Fanfan, together. We will sneak separately. If we can escape, we will meet in front of the Changcheng Municipal Government Building."
Fenghuo: "Let Qingteng go with you. I don't want to bring a burden with me."
Qing Teng lowered his eyes and was not angry about what he said.
Meng Lianying said, "The four of you will form groups, and I will act alone. This pangolin is a gold-type monster. If we really fight, none of you will be able to defeat it. I can still hold off for a while."
Xinghe frowned.
Qing Teng: "Stop talking nonsense, if we go, we go together, if we die, we die together."
Gu Fan suddenly made a gesture to keep quiet.
The five people stopped discussing and listened attentively. Suddenly, they noticed that the pangolin seemed to have stopped moving. Unfortunately, the pangolin was beyond Gu Fan's spiritual detection, and Gu Fan could not see what was happening outside.
Fenghuo's eyes lit up: "Is it giving up?"
He had barely finished the last word, his lips barely closing, when a furious beast roar, even more deafening than before, suddenly rang out.
The five people hiding under the tree trunk froze at the same time.
There was a rumbling sound of footsteps, and it turned out to be a pangolin running towards them!
If they don't run away now, the five of them will really have no choice but to wait for death!
Xinghe was the first to fly out of the bushes and break through to the front.
Gu Fan and his three companions had no choice but to break out from the left and right front in pairs according to his previous plan.
The dense foliage disappeared, and the endless blue sky reappeared in sight. The dazzling sunlight made Gu Fan unable to open his eyes, so he just flew towards the right front with Meng Lianying.
Meng Lianying, who was next to me, suddenly burst into laughter and blew a loud whistle.
Gu Fan opened her eyes in confusion, but before she could look back at Meng Lianying, Lu Ya's figure riding the wind appeared in front of her.
"You retreat first."
Lu Ya just glanced at her, then walked past them and went to fight the S-level pangolin.
Gu Fan came back to his senses. Although he was full of doubts about why Lu Ya was here, this was not the time to reminisce about the past. Even if Lu Ya could kill the pangolin, the aftermath of the attack from the two S-level masters might take their lives.
Escape was no longer so urgent, so the five-man team reunited and watched the battle on the other side of the mine from a distance of one kilometer.
Pangolins are huge in size and have strong attack and defense capabilities, but are limited in speed and agility. As long as Lu Ya hides in time, the pangolin cannot hurt him.
Lu Ya had no problem protecting himself, but this pangolin's defense was obviously stronger than the wind bear and black snake before. Lu Ya's golden giant sword hit the pangolin's body several times, but could not penetrate at all.
Fenghuo became anxious: "This pangolin's eyes have degenerated to the point where they are blind, and the rest of its body is covered with layers of scales. Its defense is so strong that Young Master Lu can't kill it at all. After a long time, how can a human's mental strength compare to that of a monster?"
"The tail." Xinghe suddenly said, "It has been using its body to block Mr. Lu's attacks, and its tail has always been hiding behind it."
Fenghuo: "Is the tail also a vital part? If the tail is cut off..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Ya's giant sword in the distance suddenly changed direction when it was attacking the pangolin's back. It was like a giant axe falling from the sky, and it chopped off the base of the pangolin's tail with a bang.
No matter how thick the pangolin's scales were, its tail was limited in diameter. Lu Ya's slash instantly severed the pangolin's tail. The S-rank monster, completely enraged, raised its head and unleashed a golden light towards Lu Ya in mid-air. A closer look revealed a super-thin, almost transparent metal blade, its surface vast and its speed swift...
Meng Lianying clenched his fists, and Gu Fan's heart was also lifted.
At that moment, Lu Ya's body suddenly leaned back, and the golden blade narrowly passed by his body.
The pangolin was about to launch a second wave of attack, but a golden thread quietly rose from the ground and drilled into the flesh in the middle of the pangolin's broken tail.
The huge S-class monster fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the dust it raised engulfed Lu Ya's figure in the low sky.
When the dust was blown away by the wind, Lu Ya had already landed next to the pangolin. His tall and straight body was filled with a murderous aura, like a warrior in the legend who killed a dragon.
Fenghuo: "So cool!"
Meng Lianying was also very excited: "I have always envied my cousin's golden sword, but today I suddenly discovered that the pangolin's golden blade is also very powerful!"
No matter which weapon, if he can use it skillfully, his combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
Xinghe: "Let's go and take a look."
The five of them flew back to the mining area in tacit understanding and landed next to Lu Ya.
Meng Lianying smiled the brightest: "Cousin, why are you here?"
Fenghuo: "It's telepathy. Know that your dearest cousin is injured, come and save him quickly."
He teased Meng Lianying, but his eyes wandered between Lu Ya and Gu Fan.
Gu Fancai didn't believe in telepathy and waited curiously for Lu Ya's explanation.
Lu Ya looked at the mine behind the pangolin: "The base sent us to City C to collect supplies. We passed by Chang City and knew there was a mine here. We were just about to come over to take a look, but we didn't expect to run into you."
Meng Lianying: "Cousin, didn't you come out on your own?"
Lu Ya: "Well, besides me, there are twenty-five people, five members from each of the five major families."
Meng Lianying sneered, "My cousin is more than capable of collecting supplies on his own. Are those four families worried that he'll hoard them?"
Lu Ya was silent.
Xinghe took the initiative to say: "There are still four-fifths of ore reserves in the mine. Let's help Master Lu to mine."
No matter what, we are all doing this for the base, so there is no need to worry too much about some things.
Xinghe led Meng Lianying towards the mine, Qingteng followed subconsciously, and Gu Fan also wanted to follow, but was pulled back by Fenghuo. He winked at Lu Ya and ran away.
Seeing that Lu Ya had noticed their little actions, Gu Fan seemed guilty if he left again.
"It's a good thing you came, otherwise the five of us might all die here." Gu Fan laughed dryly.
Not sure which word irritated him, but Lu Ya's face turned cold: "Don't you have a defensive talisman?"
Gu Fan: "I used it. When we passed Yi City, there was a big river. The sturgeons and sharks in it attacked us together."
It would be easy for Lu Ya to deal with the sturgeons, but he knew the threat that a dozen sturgeons could pose to Gu Fan and his group. He said coldly, "The western region is full of deep mountains and dangerous waters. Your strength is limited. Why don't you go to a safer place?"
Gu Fan wanted to laugh: "Where is safe? Jiangnan Base or another base?"
Times have really changed. Once upon a time, she just wanted to stay in the base, but Lu Ya insisted on taking her out to do missions. Now that she has gone out to gain experience with her companions, Lu Ya blames her for taking risks.
However, Gu Fan had already guessed why Lu Ya changed his attitude, so he would not blame him for being inconsistent.
Lu Ya didn't continue the previous topic. He jumped onto the pangolin's back and casually asked her while looking for a place to dig out the crystal core, "Have you established your foundation?"
Gu Fan: ...
Do these people think that building a foundation is as easy as passing levels in a game?
With her qualifications, it was already very rare for her to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage at the age of one hundred. But when Lu Ya asked her about it, she seemed so stupid.
She pretended to be stupid: "Do you need my help here? Without me..."
Lu Ya forcefully cut a knife across the pangolin's head, then said condescendingly, "I'll go mine, and you dig out the crystal core. The liver and lungs inside are yours to use as you please."
As he said that, he jumped down and handed the sword in his hand to Gu Fan.
Gu Fan looked at him and took it.
While others were mining, she was here trying her best to destroy the pangolin's defense layer. Fenghuo looked back and saw Fanfan, who was usually like a fairy, observing the monster's heart that had just been taken out.
war:……
He looked at Lu Ya in disbelief: "Master Lu, you are too cruel to let Fanfan do that kind of thing."
Lu Ya didn't say anything. A large amount of metal ore kept appearing under his feet and was then collected into his space.
Meng Lianying carefully observed Gu Fan's expression and said curiously, "I think Fanfan seems to be enjoying it."
Fenghuo looked carefully and it was true!
It’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover!
After Gu Fan finally collected all the internal organs and blood from the S-level monsters that could be used for alchemy, Lu Ya and his companions also worked together to empty the mine.
"Here." Gu Fan threw the S-level gold crystal core he had dug out to Lu Ya.
Lu Ya took it and put the pangolin's body into the space. He said to the five people, "Since you are also going to City C, let's go together for the rest of the journey."
Xinghe looked at Gu Fan.
Meng Lianying asked directly, "Cousin, you asked Fanfan to leave the base because you were afraid the military would force her to serve. Now we're going with you, what if those people refuse to let Fanfan go? We were the ones who escaped last time, and if you let her go this time, who knows what those families will say about you."
Lu Ya: "I always need to rest."
What he meant was that if there was still a time when they had to part, Gu Fan and the other four could just leave while he was resting.
As for now, instead of letting the five of them take risks everywhere, Lu Ya would rather let them stay in front of him.
"Then let's go together."
It makes no difference to Xinghe and the other three whether they travel together or not. The key lies in Gu Fan's attitude. Gu Fan still feels scared when she thinks about the two recent crises. If she can have Lu Ya to escort her and only take action at critical moments, it will not affect her experience and can also ensure the safety of the five members of the team.
Fenghuo chuckled, obviously misunderstanding something.
Lu Ya glanced at Gu Fan, flew into the air first, and led the five people to meet up with the base team.
——
Lu Ya had been gone for quite some time, and Sheng Xi was getting a little impatient waiting: "That's a mine over there. Did Captain Lu kill the monster and go mining alone?"
On the Lu family army's side, someone sarcastically said, "Why don't you go and take a look and see for yourself?"
Sheng Xi pursed his lips. He went to see. What if Lu Ya died in the mouth of an S-level monster? Wouldn’t he be buried with him?
He Jing: "No matter what supplies Captain Lu collects, I believe he will use them to build the base. Unlike some people, they can hide supplies and people as well."
The Lu, He and Li teams all sneered. The Wang family was usually close to the Sheng family and did not make any statement at this time.
Sheng Xi smiled, looking disdainful of discussing things with a woman.
After waiting for another half an hour, six figures flew over from the direction of the mine.
Everyone stood up.
Sheng Xi was the first to recognize Gu Fan and couldn't help but pursed his lips to hide his surprise.
What kind of hair growth pills and scar removal pills are not worth mentioning compared to the flesh growth and blood replenishing pills in Gu Fan's hand.
Gu Fan slipped away last time, but this time, he would not let Gu Fan out of his sight no matter what.
