Chapter 111
Hearing Tang Yu'an's words, Zhou Qi's face changed.
Mutated creatures broke into Granny Guo’s house?
"Are the light spots of Po-po and Kang Kang still there?" he asked anxiously.
If it's gone, then it's... dead.
"It's still there." Tang Yu'an said quickly, "Let's go back and save them! The mutant creature hasn't completely entered their house yet."
Zhou Qi's pounding heart finally calmed down a little when he heard that Granny Guo and Kang Kang were still alive.
He nodded quickly: "Well, there's no time to lose!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Qi jumped into the basement first, caught Tang Yu'an like before, and the two quickly stood on the teleportation array.
Soon, the light of the teleportation array lit up.
The protective barrier blocked all light, and no one knew that the two teenagers had disappeared into the house and left Jufeng Town.
The next moment, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi appeared in the attic of Ping'an Grocery Store.
They activated the teleportation array again and soon arrived at the master bedroom of Room 901 of Store No. 1 through the teleportation array of the main store.
At this time, Tang Yu'an felt only relief.
Fortunately, they built a branch and opened the teleportation array as soon as they arrived in Jufeng Town. Otherwise, even if they found out that Granny Guo and Kang Kang were in danger, it might be too late by the time they rushed back from Jufeng Town.
Tang Yu'an quickly cast the light body technique on himself.
Zhou Qi had already broken the plastic wrap covering the window, jumped out of the building, and headed straight for Grandma Guo's house.
He also followed Zhou Qi out of the window and kept jumping among the ruins.
Yuanbao, who was lying on the stairs on the first floor with his eyes closed, suddenly looked up.
Old Li, who was standing at the door and looking in a certain direction, also looked up at the sky as if he had realized something.
Was he dazzled? Why did he feel like he saw two children flying through the sky?
He shook his head, turned and went into the house to get his equipment.
This place was not far from Granny Guo's house. From the startled flocks of birds and the tense atmosphere in the air, he could vaguely sense that...something seemed to have happened to her.
-
Zhou Qi ran at the fastest speed in his life.
The fierce wind rushed into his nose, causing him pain and reminding him of that time...
The wind blew like this on him when he heard the news at school and pedaled his bike home as fast as he could.
He pedaled his bike like crazy that day, faster than he had ever pedaled before, but in the end he still couldn't make it in time to see his grandmother for the last time.
The old man who had been with him for more than ten years and had worked hard to raise him left him forever before he grew up and became successful, and before he could repay him.
This time...
It can't be late this time!
The boy's pupils had turned deep red. He ran at full speed, and no obstacle could stop him.
Tang Yu'an could no longer catch up with him.
Although he was anxious, he just chased after them silently, distractedly checking the map. He could only feel at ease after confirming that the light spots of Granny Guo and Kang Kang were still there.
When Zhou Qi rushed from Jufeng Town to Grandma Guo's home, less than two minutes had passed.
"boom!"
I saw a monster covered with black hair climbing on the building of Grandma Guo's house, ramming a hole with force and stretching its claws to dig into the hole.
Zhou Qi vaguely heard a scream.
Granny Guo and Kang Kang are still in the house! As he confirmed this, he swung the mutated metal dagger in his hand and sank directly into the thick fur on the monster's back.
"roar!"
The monster felt pain and turned around and roared at Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi could barely see its true appearance - it was a mutant bear that was nearly five meters tall!
In front of such a huge monster, human beings are so small that ordinary people are simply unable to fight against it.
However, Zhou Qi's expression did not change at all. He stared at the mutant bear calmly, and when it raised its huge paw to slap him, he quickly dodged away.
“Boom!”
The giant bear gained terrible potential energy by jumping from mid-air and hitting hard, and the ground shook the moment it landed.
Its two bear claws slammed heavily on the ground, creating several huge cracks.
If you were hit by this blow, you would probably be smashed into a meat patty in an instant.
As soon as Tang Yu'an arrived, he saw this scene from afar. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly took out an umbrella to cover his body.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhou Qi's forehead, but he knew that the more serious the situation was, the more he had to remain calm.
He intended to lead the giant bear away, but after taking a few steps towards him, the giant bear actually started to walk back, as if something in the building was attracting it.
“Ring, ring, ring—”
Zhou Qi took out the cat toy in time.
When the giant bear heard the bell sound of the cat toy, it stopped in its tracks, but it was not immediately attracted to the cat toy like the mutant creatures before it.
Just when Zhou Qi was secretly saying that something was wrong and thought that the special props had failed, the mutant giant bear finally turned around and ran towards him after struggling.
Zhou Qi quickly flew away and ran away.
"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!"
The sound of the giant bear running and hitting the ground was like a death warrant.
The size difference was too great, and the distance was not far, so the giant bear, which was four or five meters tall, ran not much slower than Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi shook the cat toy and ran as fast as he could, while distracting himself and calling up the forum message board.
【Channel (Admin)】
[Liangzai Zhou]: Anan, go and see how your mother-in-law and Kangkang are doing.
[Administrator (Anonymous)]: I’m on my way there!
Although he was very worried about Zhou Qi, Tang Yu'an was also worried about Granny Guo and Kang Kang when he saw the building with a hole in it caused by the giant bear.
He quickly jumped to the hole, leaned out from under the umbrella and looked into the house.
"Grandma—Kan Kang—are you all right?"
"elder brother!"
Kang Kang's crying voice responded from the house. Tang Yu'an quickly left the umbrella and cast a purification spell directly into the house.
With the help of the purification magic, he saw Granny Guo trapped under the rubble, her head bleeding and dying.
Kang Kang lay beside her, sobbing and crying, his little face stained with blood.
Tang Yu'an was so scared that he quickly jumped into the house. After coming to Granny Guo's side, he first reached out to feel her breath. Finding that she was still breathing, he quickly took out the primary healing potion and gave her a few sips.
Then he took out a basic healing bandage and wrapped it around Grandma Guo's hand four or five times.
After raising her health to over 50%, he temporarily put away the potions and bandages and pushed away the rubble that was pressing on her.
Kang Kang, who was frightened, finally reacted and hurried to help push the stone.
At this time, the light of the purification spell dissipated, and only the dim light of the mutant lantern fruit remained in the house.
Tang Yu'an quickly used the purification technique again.
He pushed the huge rocks away from Granny Guo one by one. Maybe it was because of the crisis, but his potential exploded and his strength increased, so he felt that these huge rocks were not that heavy.
Soon, he rescued Grandma Guo from under the stone.
The dying Grandma Guo also woke up from her coma with the help of medicine and bandages.
"Xiao An..."
Seeing Tang Yu'an, she was stunned at first, then realized something and her voice became anxious, "Kang Kang! Kang Kang!"
"Grandma... wuwuwu..."
Kang Kang rushed to her side and finally couldn't help crying.
The attack by the giant bear almost killed the child and his grandmother, which frightened the child. When he saw his grandmother wake up, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
Tang Yu'an touched his head and said softly, "Now is not the time to cry. Let's rescue grandma from here first."
Kang Kang then quickly held back his tears and only sobbed quietly.
Tang Yu'an carried Granny Guo on his back with great effort. Only when Granny Guo was completely on his back did he feel relieved with the help of the light body technique.
At this time, a sound came from the cave entrance.
"Xiao An?"
It’s Grandpa Li’s voice!
The light of the purification spell dissipated again, and he probably couldn't see what was going on in the room.
Tang Yu'an quickly responded to him: "Grandpa, it's me! I'm carrying Grandma out now!"
"Okay! Come out now!"
Tang Yu'an lowered his head and said to the child, "Kang Kang, wait for me here. I'll be back to pick you up soon."
"Yeah!" Kang Kang nodded vigorously.
"Save Kang Kang first..." Grandma Guo's weak voice sounded.
"I will save him." Tang Yu'an said, "No one of you can be left behind!"
Then he decisively jumped to the cave entrance with Granny Guo on his back. Seeing that Old Li had climbed up at some point, he quickly said, "Grandpa, please take care of Granny Guo first. I'll go save Kang Kang!"
Seeing the young man jumping to the ground with Granny Guo on his back, Old Li couldn't help but look a little dazed.
Then he reacted, quickly climbed downstairs again, and took Grandma Guo from Tang Yu'an's hands.
"I'll leave Granny Guo to you!"
After putting Granny Guo down, Tang Yu'an jumped high again and returned to the house through the hole.
Although Kang Kang was trembling with fear, he did not wait there. Instead, he dragged his plant friends out from the corner.
Debris continued to fall.
In the darkness, the child was holding a few flower pots and sobbing softly.
Suddenly there was light again.
In the bright light, he saw Tang Yu'an's figure falling from the sky, like a savior, saving not only his mother-in-law, but also him and his companions.
"Brother..."
Kang Kang pouted and tears kept coming out.
Tang Yu'an picked him up, then put the flowerpot at his feet into his personal storage.
Unfortunately, apart from the spirit gathering grass and a flowerpot with unknown content, the cool fruit tree and the mutated lantern fruit could not be put away because they had already developed intelligence.
Even telekinesis skills can't transfer them back to the grocery store.
Tang Yu'an had no choice but to carry Kang Kang on his back and tie him to himself with a belt. Then he picked up the cool fruit tree and jumped out of the cave.
"And... and Liangliang..."
Kang Kang looked at the mutated lantern fruit tree and said anxiously.
"It's grown too big to move all at once. I'll come back to save it after I rescue you guys."
Only after hearing Tang Yu'an's explanation did the child calm down.
The unripe fruits on the mutant lantern fruit tree seemed to release a brighter light at this time, and even without purification magic, the situation inside the house could be seen clearly.
Tang Yu'an nodded at the mutated lantern fruit tree, then carried Kang Kang on his back and jumped out of the hole while holding the cool fruit tree.
Granny Guo was being carried on Old Li's back. She had already woken up and was forcing herself to look up.
The moment she saw Tang Yu'an and Kang Kang, she smiled with relief, then closed her eyes again and fainted.
Tang Yuan put down the flowerpot and took Kang Kang off his back.
Only then did he have time to check Kang Kang's injuries, "Are you hurt?"
Kang Kang's little face was covered in blood, but fortunately, it was just a scratch on the skin and a bump on the forehead, so it was nothing serious.
Tang Yu'an was still worried, so he gave him two sips of primary healing potion, then turned around and climbed to the cave entrance again, jumped into the house and went to the mutated lantern fruit tree.
One mutated lantern fruit is worth 50 points, so we can’t let the fruit tree be damaged here!
"Boom—boom—"
The building, which was not very strong to begin with, became even more fragile after being violently hit by the giant bear and continued to collapse and shatter.
Smoke and dust rolled up and filled the sky.
Old Li watched Tang Yu'an run back again, and it was too late for him to speak out to stop him.
Kang Kang looked at the collapsed house, tears kept falling down. He looked towards the cave entrance anxiously and helplessly, and kept praying in his heart.
Finally, under their worried and expectant gaze, the young man jumped out of the cave at the last moment before the house completely collapsed, carrying a broken piece of the mutant lantern fruit tree on his back.
"Grandpa! Kang Kang!"
Seeing the young man appear in front of him in one piece, Old Li finally felt relieved.
Just as he was about to speak, Tang Yu'an put the mutant lantern fruit tree on the ground and said anxiously, "Grandpa, I'll leave Grandma and the others in your care. I'll go find Brother Xiaoqi!"
Brother Xiaoqi led the giant bear away, and now he doesn’t know what’s going on. He has to go over and help quickly.
After Tang Yu'an finished speaking, he quickly opened the map and chased in the direction Zhou Qi left.
He first marked the red dot of the mutant giant bear, and then reported the situation to Zhou Qi on the message board.
[Xiaoqi, Grandma and Kang Kang are fine! Grandpa is here and taking care of them.]
How are things going over there?
Zhou Qi was still running with the mutant giant bear.
Because the initial distance was too close and the mutant giant bear was not slow, he was being chased and bitten closely. If he relaxed even a little, he would probably die in the bear's mouth.
Moreover, this giant bear was not just an ordinary giant. While it was running, spiked earth walls kept emerging from the ground, creating obstacles for Zhou Qi.
This is a giant bear that has mastered earth-related abilities!
Even after seeing Tang Yu'an's message, Zhou Qi no longer had the time to respond to him.
At this moment, his brain was working fast.
Right now, he only has three special items that can be used to deal with the giant bear, but it is too difficult to be foolproof in such a chase and escape.
Then, we have no choice but to take a risk and give it a try!
When another earth wall appeared in front of him, Zhou Qi dodged it, but did not run forward. Instead, he jumped up and turned to face the giant bear.
The giant bear, nearly five meters tall, was like a small mountain. It raised its upper body high and slapped Zhou Qi with its two huge paws.
At this moment, in Zhou Qi's eyes, the speed of everything slowed down.
He could clearly see the giant bear's violent and ferocious eyes, its sharp teeth and mouth with terrifying bite force.
His machete would probably not be of much use against such a giant bear.
Strangely, he was very calm at this moment.
The next moment, a bright green cabinet appeared between him and the giant bear.
The flow of time returned to normal again.
The huge bear paw slammed down, smashing onto the cabinet and sending the effervescent container flying, but...
This cabinet is really sturdy.
Although it was knocked away, it did not fall apart.
The next moment, another identical cabinet appeared between Zhou Qi and the giant bear.
The mutant giant bear was obviously stunned for a moment. It paused in place, stretched out its palm again, and impatiently slapped the green container away.
Then its front legs fell to the ground.
The bear's paw was really big, so when it landed, it stepped firmly on the trap Zhou Qi had set on the ground while it was knocking the green container away.
Super mousetrap, start!
The mutant giant bear's body was shrinking rapidly.
It noticed the change and tried to escape in panic, but it was obviously too late.
In the blink of an eye, the giant bear as big as a hill turned into a gray mouse, with one of its front paws caught in the super mousetrap.
The Giant Bear brand hamster stared blankly at everything around it that was magnified, and the "little ant" in its eyes turned into a giant.
Such a gap is obviously difficult for it to accept.
It struggled violently, but the mousetrap was so heavy for it that no matter how hard it struggled it couldn't budge at all.
Watching this scene, Zhou Qi finally collapsed to the ground exhausted.
He was gasping for breath and his face was pale.
"Brother Xiaoqi!"
After a while, Tang Yu'an finally arrived.
"Brother Xiaoqi, are you okay?"
Seeing Zhou Qi slumped on the ground, Tang Yu'an was shocked. He didn't care about the Giant Bear brand mouse and rushed to Zhou Qi.
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
Tang Yu'an took out a primary healing bandage to heal him, but he grabbed his wrist.
Zhou Qi, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head at him.
"I'm not hurt."
His breathing was still unstable, but he suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth and gave Tang Yu'an a happy smile.
Tang Yu'an was stunned, and then Zhou Qi pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"It's good to see you again."
Listening to Zhou Qi's voice ringing in his ears, Tang Yu'an, who was clearly not participating in the battle directly, suddenly collapsed as if exhausted.
He exhaled slowly, his heart still beating fast, filled with fear and terror of surviving the disaster.
Only then did Tang Yu'an realize that his hands were shaking violently.
After checking and finding that Zhou Qi was indeed not injured, and no longer covered in wounds like the first time he faced the mutant giant dog, Tang Yu'an completely relaxed and reached out to hug him.
"Brother Xiaoqi... you scared me to death just now..."
The young man, who had been very calm when treating Kang Kang and Grandma Guo, couldn't help but choked up in front of Zhou Qi.
Just now, when he was chasing after him, Tang Yu'an's mind was full of Zhou Qi's bloody appearance.
"I'm so glad you're not hurt! Woohoo..."
Zhou Qi patted his back gently. Thinking back on it now, he couldn't help but worry for himself.
but……
This feeling of actually feeling that you’ve become stronger is really great!
When Tang Yu'an finally calmed down, Zhou Qi helped him wipe away his tears, and then asked, "How are Granny Guo and Kang Kang?"
"They were all injured. When I entered the house, Granny Guo was trapped under a rock."
Tang Yu'an explained the situation to him, "I have treated her with bandages and potions. She shouldn't be in danger of death, but I don't know if she has any broken bones."
If my grandma was so old, it would be hard for her to fall down normally, let alone be hit by a stone.
"Kang Kang is fine, but Grandpa Li probably realized something was wrong and came over. He's looking after them now."
Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he caught up this time.
He nodded, helped Tang Yu'an up and said, "Let's go back and take a look."
"Um!"
Tang Yu'an looked at the super mousetrap, but found that the Giant Bear brand mouse had disappeared. Only the mousetrap was left in its place, with a severed hand on the clamp.
Haha, does it think it can escape like this?
Tang Yu'an glanced at the map and unlocked the blockade against ordinary animals. He then saw the light spot of the giant bear he had marked appear on the map, moving quickly.
I don’t have time to deal with it right now, I can only wait until later.
but……
Tang Yu'an took a look at the super mousetrap on the ground, picked it up, opened the clamp, and the "mouse" claw fell to the ground.
Soon, the "rat" claws expanded rapidly and turned into a huge bear paw.
Tang Yu'an put his hand on the bear's paw and could still feel the residual warmth. He used his telekinetic skills to take the bear's paw to the warehouse of Ping'an Grocery Store.
There are now three super-capacity containers in the warehouse, which are more than enough to hold this bear paw.
After making sure that nothing was left out, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi left.
After running for his life just now and now returning to normal speed, Zhou Qi realized that he had run such a long distance in such a short time.
On the way back, they met Yuanbao.
Store No. 1 is so close to Grandma Guo’s house that Yuanbao had actually sensed the giant bear’s breath a long time ago, but he just didn’t care.
Until it noticed that Tang Yu'an ran back, when it was hesitating whether to stay or chase him out, Old Li ran away first.
After hesitating for a long time, the anxious Yuanbao finally left his two younger brothers to watch the store and chased after him.
"Yuanbao!"
Tang Yu'an hugged it happily and rubbed it, then he and Zhou Qi sat on its back, and Yuanbao carried them back.
After a while, we finally returned to Grandma Guo's home.
Old Li was waiting anxiously there, and when he saw them come back, he was overjoyed.
"How are you? Are you not hurt?"
He arrived a step too late and didn't see what kind of mutant creature it was, but he had some guesses from the footprints left by the giant bear.
He didn't ask if it was true, but directly asked: "How is the mutant giant bear?"
"Run away."
Zhou Qi said, "But he probably won't come back to cause us trouble for the time being."
Old Li nodded and thought to himself that it was as he expected.
He looked towards the center of the deserted city with some concern. Logically speaking, mutant creatures of this level shouldn't appear in such a remote place. Why is it now...
"Let's go back to the grocery store first." Tang Yu'an said.
"good."
So they returned to Store No. 1 with Granny Guo, Kang Kang, and Kang Kang's plant friends.
Grandma Guo was placed in Room 801 on the 8th floor. Apart from a broken right leg, she was fine.
Kang Kang stayed by her mother-in-law's side all the time, her eyes were red, and she still looked frightened.
Tang Yu'an thought of something and took out two flower pots from his portable storage and returned them to him.
One of the flowerpots was planted with spirit-gathering grass, while the plant in the other pot had only a small tip emerging.
Tang Yu'an asked the child, "Kang Kang, what kind of plant is this?"
Kang Kang sniffed, looked at him and said, "Nuan Nuan...Liang Liang..."
Tang Yu'an was stunned. This description...
Could this be the seedling of a mutant blue beard tree?!
